Landeskommando Sachsen

Established in 2007, the Landeskommando Sachsen stands ready. It’s more than just a building. It’s a vital link between the Bundeswehr and the civilian world. The Landeskommando Sachsen, headquartered in Dresden’s Graf-Stauffenberg-Kaserne, plays a crucial role in times of crisis. Think floods, accidents, or other emergencies. Around 50 active soldiers and 15 civilian staff members work tirelessly within these walls. Their mission is to connect the Bundeswehr’s resources with the needs of Saxony’s civilian authorities. The Landeskommando Sachsen isn’t working alone. They collaborate closely with 19 Reservistenverbindungskommandos. These commands reach into districts, cities, and the state directorate. This network ensures a coordinated response to any crisis. The Landeskommando Sachsen also manages Host Nation Support. They handle the logistics for foreign troops visiting German territory. Beyond crisis management, the Landeskommando Sachsen focuses on fostering connections. They build bridges with military crisis response teams in neighboring countries. A key part of their work also involves Reservistenarbeit, working with reservists. Initially, the Landeskommando Sachsen reported to the Wehrbereichskommando III. In 2013, this changed to the Kommando Territoriale Aufgaben der Bundeswehr. Finally, in 2022, they came under the Territorialen Führungskommando der Bundeswehr in Berlin. The Landeskommando Sachsen’s coat of arms tells a story. The white and green represent Saxony. The inner emblem symbolizes Dresden, the state capital. The crossed sabers pay homage to Saxony’s cavalry history. In 2023, the Landeskommando Sachsen received a Fahnenband award from the Territorialen Führungskommando. This award, alongside the Fahnenband Freistaat Sachsen from 2010, recognizes their unwavering dedication to the safety and security of Saxony. The Landeskommando Sachsen, a silent guardian, remains vigilant, ensuring Saxony is prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead.
