Army Training Centres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Army Training Centres (German: Zentren des Heeres), together with the Army Training Schools (Schulen des Heeres), form the training establishments of the German Army within the Bundeswehr. They are subordinated to the German Army Office (Heeresamt). Several are not (exclusively) charged with training, but are also support establishments that, e. g. are responsible for Army logistics or the maintenance and operations of training facilities, including the military training areas. The distinction between training centres and schools or arms schools in the Army is sometimes blurred. For example, many centres that are charged with basic and continuation training for an arm or service are run by a general who is the head of arm, such as the General of the Armoured Corps (General der Panzertruppen).

The individual Army Training Centres are:
