Stationing of the Bundeswehr in Germany October 2011 1

Foreword Based on the Defence Policy Guidelines issued on 27 May this year, key decisions on the capabilities, strength and organisation of the Bundeswehr have since been taken to ensure the operational readiness of the future Bundeswehr and its ability to meet Alliance commitments. A programme accompanying the reforms was developed, including a new reservist concept. Following the suspension of compulsory military service in July and hence the transition to an all-volunteer force, the decision on stationing now marks the final conceptual stage of the reorientation of the Bundeswehr. The aim of reorientation is to adjust Bundeswehr tasks and capabilities to the changing security environment, to adapt its structure to demographic change and to place it on a sound financial footing for the future. Our Bundeswehr will have to meet the requirements of national and collective defence and, most notably, crisis management and conflict prevention. The wide diversity of potential conflicts and operations requires that a broad range of different capabilities be kept available. The Bundeswehr must be capable of operating effectively across the entire task spectrum, from stability operations to intervention in armed conflicts to high-intensity combat operations. Only this broad capability spectrum will give Germany the necessary options for flexible and coordinated political action to safeguard freedom and peace. The decisions taken on the future stationing determine the location and size of future Bundeswehr bases in Germany s federal states and regions. The military and civilian personnel of the Bundeswehr and their families are directly affected by these decisions. There are many reasons why our society has a strong and understandable interest in a continued Bundeswehr presence across Germany, just as the Bundeswehr itself with its military and civilian personnel wishes to remain an army in the middle of our society. 2

The decisions on the future stationing are therefore an important element of the necessary adjustment and restructuring of the Bundeswehr in the course of its reorientation. They are the result of thorough and extensive analysis in which all relevant factors were carefully and comprehensively weighed. The concerns of the people in the Bundeswehr and in the garrisons and communities were taken into consideration wherever possible and acceptable from a functional point of view. This brochure provides a quick overview for all citizens, both of the future of their location and of the future stationing of the Bundeswehr as a whole. The timeframe for implementation will be determined separately as part of the implementation planning for the respective location. The reorientation is an important step towards making the Bundeswehr future-proof and protecting our country in the future. This involves stationing the Bundeswehr in such a manner as to ensure effective and financially viable mission accomplishment in a complex security environment, even within the constraints of federal budget consolidation and reductions in strength. The Bundeswehr will become smaller. It is a volunteer force not relying on conscription. It will continue to maintain a presence throughout and for our country. Berlin, 26 October 2011 Dr. Thomas de Maizière Federal Minister of Defence 3

1 Conceptual and structural parameters of reorientation Germany will continue to make a major military contribution towards its own security and that of the Alliance. Together with our allies and partners, we wish to promote peace and stability in the world. In keeping with the tasks outlined in the Defence Policy Guidelines issued in May 2011, it is necessary that the Bundeswehr has a broad spectrum of capabilities to offer to the political decision-makers. We have set ourselves the goal of being able to sustain up to 10,000 troops in two theatres of operations at the same time and to participate in an additional maritime operation. The Bundeswehr will help Germany to meet its military commitments as a member of NATO, the European Union and the United Nations in a responsible manner. The armed forces are being equipped with a distinct set of robust capabilities both for sustained conflict prevention and crisis management operations and high-intensity operations of limited duration, including in the context of national and collective defence. The Bundeswehr will be based on the principle that functional expertise and organisational responsibility belong together. The result will be clear-cut structures and, wherever possible, a mix of military and civilian personnel at headquarters and agencies. Staffs and headquarters will be streamlined, units will be strengthened. The goal is joint thinking and action. Besides the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the Joint Medical Service and the Joint Support Service, there will be the major resource organisational elements of Personnel, Infrastructure, Environmental Protection and Services, Materiel, Information Technology and Equipment Management as well as the major organisational elements of Legal Affairs and Military Chaplain Service. The military personnel in the Bundeswehr will be placed under the administrative control of the Chief of Staff, Bundeswehr. The Service Chiefs of Staff will exercise command and control of their respective services and/or major military organisational elements from their own Headquarters outside the Ministry. 6

1 Konzeptionelle und strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen der Neuausrichtung The Armed Forces The Army The Army will maintain a broad range of capabilities and robustness across the entire task and intensity spectrum and with graduated levels of sustainability. The ability to respond swiftly to emerging crises in the context of national and collective defence, operations abroad and changing operational requirements will be balanced with the need to allow sufficient time between deployments abroad. The integrated brigade system will be significantly strengthened so as to ensure operational readiness in due time. Modularity will ensure flexibility across a broad task spectrum. 7

1 Conceptual and structural parameters of reorientation The Armed Forces The Air Force The guiding principles for the Air Force are its focus on operations, fitness for the future, sustainability and efficiency. The emphasis of its capability profile will shift from counter air operations to supporting air operations, surveillance and reconnaissance. The capability to conduct high-intensity air operations will be maintained. The command and control organisation will pool functional expertise and administrative responsibility in capability coordination commands. The division level will be dispensed with. The capability range of the Air Force will enable the support of conflict prevention and crisis management operations and concurrently ensure contributions to national and collective defence, military evacuation operations and the discharge of standing operational tasks and interservice functions. 8

1 Konzeptionelle und strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen der Neuausrichtung Militärische Organisationsbereiche The Navy The Navy will provide a broad capability profile with graduated levels of sustainability. The establishment of an integrated Headquarters of the German Navy, which will also incorporate the Maritime Operations Centre, allows the division/service office level to be dispensed with. At the same time, the flotillas will be strengthened in accordance with the focus-onoperations principle. 9

1 Conceptual and structural parameters of reorientation The Armed Forces The Joint Support Service The Joint Support Service (JSS) will pool Bundeswehr and joint support capabilities for operations, routine duty activities and national territorial tasks. Mobile operational forces, nationally available expertise and capabilities for operations as well as training and development in the fields of logistics, command support and military intelligence will be consolidated under unified responsibility in the future JSS capability coordination commands. The Territorial Tasks Command will pool the territorial tasks that have so far been distributed among the military districts. This is where the capabilities particularly suited to support subsidiary emergency relief missions will be kept ready. The military district commands will be disbanded. The tried and tested elements of the government region/district liaison groups will be retained. The role of reservists will be strengthened through the establishment of regional security and support units. 10

The Joint Medical Service The high standards of health care provided for military personnel in Germany and on operations abroad will be ensured by concentrating on medical support processes and consistently focusing on those tasks that require a medical licence. Regional medical care and operational medical support will be combined on a capabilityoriented basis 11

1 Conceptual and structural parameters of reorientation Major resource organisational elements Personnel In view of the suspension of compulsory military service, joint personnel recruitment will be a matter of special significance for the future of the Bundeswehr. The new major resource organisational element of Personnel will in future be responsible for all tasks, ranging from recruitment and personnel management to the education and qualification of Bundeswehr military and civilian personnel. The tasks of the selection and induction offices and recruiting centres will be merged. Advice on employment opportunities with the Bundeswehr will be provided locally through a network of 110 permanently manned Bundeswehr careers information offices and up to 200 mobile offices. A further 16 careers centres, eight of which will conduct aptitude tests, will additionally provide a comprehensive range of information on the Bundeswehr as an employer. The fundamentals and responsibilities for school, vocational and academic education will be pooled at the Bundeswehr Education Management Centre. It will ensure that qualifications acquired by personnel during service in the Bundeswehr are certified for the civilian job market. In order to pool functional expertise and organisational responsibility, the Federal Office of Languages and the Bundeswehr universities will be assigned to the major resource organisational element of Personnel. 12

Infrastructure, Environmental Protection and Services The new major resource organisational element of Infrastructure, Environmental Protection and Services will incorporate the functional areas of infrastructure, messing/ service facilities and statutory protective tasks. The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Infrastructure, Environmental Protection and Services will be established for this purpose. The military district administrative offices will be disbanded. In the field of infrastructure, seven regional centres of expertise will be set up as part of the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Infrastructure, Environmental Protection and Services to handle operational construction projects. The possibility of concentrating travel management and payroll accounting tasks at Federal Government level is being examined. The armed forces will continue to be supported at their stations by Bundeswehr Service Centres. 13

1 Conceptual and structural parameters of reorientation Major resource organisational elements Materiel, Information Technology and Equipment Management A new, efficient and standardised system for materiel, procurement and in-service support management will be established in the new major resource organisational element of Materiel, Information Technology and Equipment Management. For this purpose, the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Materiel, Information Technology and Equipment Management will be established which will take over the entire range of tasks currently discharged by the Federal Office of Defence Technology and Procurement and the Bundeswehr IT Office and their subordinate agencies. The new Office will assume full responsibility in this field, from procurement through equipment management to disposal. Integrated project teams will be set up to liaise with all Bundeswehr areas affected. Operating and supply support responsibility will remain with the armed forces. 14

1 X X The strength of the armed forces The strength of the armed forces, including reservists, will amount to up to 185,000 military personnel, at least 5,000 to 15,000 of whom will be military service volunteers. Reservists are an indispensable element of the Bundeswehr and will become even more important in future. They will reinforce active duty forces and increase sustainability on operations wherever possible. Taking account of their wide range of civilian occupational qualifications and personal skills, reservists will in future receive specific and additional military training and education to ensure that they can be employed, even at short notice, in response to a crisis and across a broad spectrum of tasks. Reservists will support the armed forces in building up new capabilities and in ensuring homeland security as required. They will also play an indispensable role as a link between the Bundeswehr and society, benefiting both recruitment and the integration of the armed forces into society. 55,000 billets are earmarked for civilian personnel. Hence, the Bundeswehr will in future comprise a total of up to 240,000 military and civilian billets. The Federal Ministry of Defence The overall number of billets will include a total of 2,000 for the Federal Ministry of Defence. 15

2 Factors determining the stationing decision The decisions for this Stationing Concept are based on the fundamental principles of functionality, costeffectiveness, attractiveness and presence throughout Germany. This underlines the holistic nature of the approach taken. In order to refine the underlying principles, specific indicators were established for each station. They facilitate the comparability of stations and enable an appropriate assessment of stationing alternatives within the framework of a comprehensive analysis. These include: Suitability of a facility for mission accomplishment Access to suitable training and exercise facilities Access to transport networks Suitability of the location of a station for the performance of tasks and conduct of exercises within and outside the Bundeswehr Facility operating costs (structural maintenance, management, guarding) Necessity and cost of infrastructure measures Previous infrastructure investments and infrastructure investments necessary in the medium and longterm Availability and variety of educational institutions, public welfare, recreation and care facilities 16

3 Summary of results The present situation At present, there are 394 Bundeswehr stations. Thirteen of these stations have already been earmarked for closure in previous stationing decisions. The scheduled closure dates are listed in the Annexes. Many smaller organisational elements of the Bundeswehr, such as the future mobile recruiting elements, will be subject to frequent adaptation or be based at varying locations. To make things easier to understand, municipalities in which a station has fewer than 15 billets will therefore no longer be referred to as Bundeswehr stations irrespective of whether the currently existing elements remain stationed there. This applies to 58 municipalities of the 394 stations mentioned above. They are listed in the Annexes. Five stations have been added. The elements stationed there have so far been organisationally assigned to other stations (see Annexes). By including these stations in the Stationing Concept, the organisation and stationing of the Bundeswehr have been brought in line. The 328 stations thus constitute the starting point. Results This Stationing Concept provides for the closure of 31 stations. In terms of size, these closures affect: 8 stations with 15 to 100 billets 4 stations with 101 to 500 billets 13 stations with 501 to 1,000 billets 6 stations with more than 1,000 billets In addition, significant cuts will be made at 91 stations, entailing a reduction in the present number of billets by more than 50% or by more than 500 billets. At 33 of these stations, the number of billets will be reduced to fewer than 15, so that they will no longer be referred to as stations. In future, there will be a total of 264 Bundeswehr stations in Germany. 17

4 Annexes Notes on the Annexes The Annexes contain details of the future stationing of the Bundeswehr in the individual Laender, the stationing of the Land Commands, the civil-military cooperation support points and the recruiting organisation. Of the planned total of up to 240,000 military and civilian billets, the following are not reflected in the stationing figures: military personnel temporarily participating in courses at schools and other training facilities; reservists; Bundeswehr members performing duty outside the Federal Republic of Germany as well as Bundeswehr members assigned to the Federal Ministry of Defence or working in cooperation projects between the Bundeswehr and trade and industry or otherwise employed outside the Bundeswehr. This means that of the total number of civilian and military billets, approximately 197,500 have been taken into account here. Owing to ongoing adaptation as part of the reorientation of the Bundeswehr such as the restructuring of the major civilian organisational elements, the reallocation of tasks to other Federal Ministries, the reshaping of the training landscape and intensified cooperation with trade and industry as well as the implementation of structural requirements down to unit level, changes may still prove necessary at individual stations. 19
