POČASNA STRAŽA MINISTARSTVA ODBRANE  Wachbataillon der Bundeswehr

 
     Počasna straža Ministarstva odbrane (Njemački: Wachbataillon beim Bundesministerium der Verteidigung (WachBtl BMVg)) je elitna jedinica njemačkih oružanih snaga. Ujedno je to i najveći bataljon jer broji oko 1800 pripadnika, u devet četa, podijeljenih u dva garnizona: Berlin i Siegburg i pod komadom je zajedničke komande podrške "Streitkräftebasis". Vojnici ove jedinice su iz sva tri roda (KoV, Mornarica i Zrakoplovstvo) i imaju sve tri uniforme na raspolaganju da bi mogli izvesti počasni dril u svakoj prigodi. Oko 80% pripadnika jedinice su vojnici na odsluženju vojnog roka. U ovaj se počasni bataljon primaju samo vojnici visoki od 178 pa do 195 centimetara.
 
 

      Wachbataillon (full name: "Wachbataillon beim Bundesministerium der Verteidigung (WachBtl BMVg)" (Guard battalion at the Ministry of Defence)) is the German Bundeswehr's elite drill unit. The Wachbataillon is the largest battalion of the German forces with about 1,800 soldiers, split in two garrsons in Berlin and Siegburg. It consists of nine companies and belongs to the "Streitkräftebasis" (Joint Service Support Command) of the Bundeswehr. The soldiers of the Wachbataillon are from all three German forces (i.e. Army, Navy and Air Force) and have the uniforms from all forces at their disposal to be able to perform any drill mission on every occasion. About 80% of Wachbatallion's personnel are conscripts. The Wachbataillon only admits personnel that have a body height ranging from 1.78 meters up to 1.95 meters.

     The primary mission of the Wachbataillon is to perform the military honors for the German president, the German Chancellor, the Federal Minister of Defence and the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr during state visits or on comparable occasions. In addition the Wachbataillon executes the Großer Zapfenstreich on special occasions (for example on the 50th anniversary of the Bundeswehr in front of the Reichstag in Berlin on the night of October 26, 2005) or takes part at military shows with its drill team which is the best trained special unit of the battalion. A secondary mission is to guard the members of the German government and the Ministry of Defence in wartime. As a direct attack on Germany is no longer an urgent threat since the end of the Cold War, that mission has become obsolescent.

     For reasons of tradition the Wachbataillon is the only unit of the Bundeswehr still using the Karabiner 98k because the traditional Prussian rifle drills can be executed better with that historical weapon. During normal day duty the battalion uses the G36 rifle like the other units of the Bundeswehr. The 1st company is the last unit in the Bundeswehr using the Feldhaubitze 105 mm in the role of a salute gun.
