Germany sets up military division dedicated to territorial defense
The German government has created a new military division focused on territorial defense, aiming to strengthen the country’s security and bolster its military capabilities. The division, named “Territorial Defense Command” (Teilungskommando), will be responsible for protecting Germany’s borders, critical infrastructure, and key infrastructure, including ports, airports, and refineries.
The new division will be organized into five units, each responsible for a specific region in Germany. The units will be equipped with a variety of military assets, including armored vehicles, helicopters, and anti-aircraft systems. The division will also work closely with local law enforcement agencies and emergency services to respond to any potential threats or emergencies.
The decision to establish the Territorial Defense Command comes in response to growing concerns about the threat posed by neighboring countries, particularly Russia. Germany’s defense minister, Ursula von der Leyen, has emphasized the importance of protecting the country’s borders and infrastructure, stating that the new division will play a crucial role in ensuring Germany’s national security.
The formation of the Territorial Defense Command is seen as a significant step in bolstering Germany’s defense capabilities and reassurance, particularly in light of recent tensions with Russia. The move is expected to be closely monitored by neighboring countries and European leaders, who are keen to see how Germany will proceed with its new defense strategy.
