[edit] History

The Brigade was set up in 1987 following a summit between President Mitterrand of France and Chancellor Kohl of Germany. The Brigade became operational on October 2, 1989 under the command of General Jean-Pierre Sengeisen. Currently, the FGB is stationed at Müllheim, Donaueschingen, Immendingen, Sigmaringen, Meßstetten, Stetten am Kalten Markt and Villingen-Schwenningen in Germany as part of the Eurocorps.[2]

[edit] Organisation

The Franco-German brigade can be described as a mechanised formation; its three main combat units are an armoured reconnaissance regiment, a mechanised infantry battalion and a light infantry battalion, together with an artillery regiment. France provides the armoured regiment and the mechanised infantry, while the light infantry and artillery, together with the brigade's engineering support, are German. The logistical support unit and the brigade's HQ have mixed complements drawn from both countries.[3]
