Armed Forces of Germany

Considered among the most technologically advanced militaries in the world today, Germany's armed forces have gone through many dramatic changes since the end of the World War II.

Like Japan, Germany was completely demilitarized after 1945. Plans for any kind of German military, including a national defensive force, were forbidden by the Allied forces. Instead the United States, the U.K., France and Russia took on the responsibility of protecting Germany.

In the early 1990s, following German reunification, the National People's Army of the former East Germany was integrated into the West German Army. The unified Federal Defence Force of Germany (also called Bundeswehr) marked the first time the country had its own armed forces in 50 years.

Mainly a domestic security force, the German federal courts expanded on its role to include the protection of German security anywhere in the world. This allowed the Bundeswehr to take part in military operations beyond German borders as part of NATO or the European Union.

Traditionally, German military forces have included an Army, Navy, and Air Force. All three branches are commanded by the Minister of Defense, who is supported by the Chief of Defense.

The German Army consists of three corps and eight divisions commanded by the Army Forces Command. International cooperation has always been the primary mission for the Army. In fact, six of the divisions are part of NATO's main defense force.

As of 2000, the German Army experienced a number of cutbacks to its troop numbers. From this re-organization, future ground missions will be two-fold:

  • To a provide a collective defense within NATO
  • To perform humanitarian relief and peacekeeping operations

  • The German Navy operates mostly around the Baltic and North Seas. In addition to patrolling Germany's territorial waters, they help protect NATO sea routes.

    They are well equipped to handle intelligence and recon operations, minesweeping, and anti-submarine/anti-warship warfare despite lacking a large surface fleet. Germany does not have any land-based marine units.

    The German Air Force has also undergone changes in structure and strategy resulting from the end of the Cold War. It's had to adjust its primary missions, as well as ponder deployment to conflicts within Europe's more unstable regions and beyond its borders.

    Since then, the Air Force has been purchasing new attack aircraft
    and modernizing its air fleet to reflect current and future needs.

    Unfortunately, this renewed international focus and a lack of sufficient funding has produced a sad state of affairs for German armed forces. More foreign missions imposed on overworked soldiers; dilapidated barracks with inadequate equipment and TA-50 Military Lockers. These have forced the government to finally start addressing the issue.
