Germany's military is to carve out a new land forces division responsible for homeland security. The unit will be dedicated to securing critical infrastructure and key military facilities in preparation for possible war.

Summary

Germany’s Bundeswehr will establish a new homeland security land forces division by April, tasked with protecting critical infrastructure and military facilities.

This move aligns with the Osnabrück Decree to bolster defense capabilities amid concerns over Russian aggression following the Ukraine invasion.

The 6,000-strong unit will guard ports, pipelines, and digital infrastructure, preparing Germany for potential conflicts while its army operates under NATO command.
