'''1 (GE/NL) Corps''' is a multinational formation consisting of units from both the [[Royal Netherlands Army]] and [[German Army]]. The corps' headquarters also takes part in [[NATO Response Force]] readiness rotations. It is situated in [[Münster]] ([[Westphalia|Northrhine Westphalia]]), formerly the headquarters of the German Army's I. Corps out of which 1 German/Netherlands Corps evolved. The corps has ''national'' and multinational operational responsibilities, and its commanding officer is the only one in Europe to have OPCON in peacetime.<ref>pp.26-27, Thomas-Durell Young, Multinational Land Formations and NATO: Reforming practices and structures, Strategic Studies Institute, U.S. Army War College, Carlisle Barracks, PA, 1997</ref>
Due to its role as a NATO High Readiness Forces Headquarters, soldiers from other NATO member states, the [[Military of the United States|United States]], [[Norwegian Defence Force|Norway]], [[Spanish Armed Forces|Spain]], [[Military of Italy|Italy]], the [[British Armed Forces|United Kingdom]], [[French Armed Forces|France]], [[Greek Armed Forces|Greece]], [[Turkish Armed Forces|Turkey]], [[Czech Armed Forces|Czech Republic]] and [[Belgian Armed Forces|Belgium]] are also stationed in Münster.
==History==
In 1991 the [[defence minister]]s of [[The Netherlands]] and [[Germany]] decided to establish a binational Headquarters to replace one German Corps Headquarters and one Dutch Corps Headquarters. In 1993 a treaty between the two countries was signed which resulted in two previously independent Headquarters being amalgamated to form 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps HQ or 1 (GE/NL) Corps consisting of one German and one Dutch division.<ref>p.61, Matláry, Janne Haaland, Østerud, Øyvind, ''Denationalisation of Defence'', Ashgate, 2007</ref>
[[I Corps (Bundeswehr)|I German Corps]] had previously consisted of [[1st Panzer Division (Bundeswehr)|1st Panzer Division]], [[3rd Panzer Division (Bundeswehr)|3rd Panzer Division]], [[7th Panzer Division (Bundeswehr)|7th Panzer Division]], [[11th Panzergrenadier Division (Bundeswehr)|11th Panzergrenadier Division]], and [[27th Airborne Brigade (Bundeswehr)|27th Airborne Brigade]]. After the end of the Cold War, various corps troops, such as Air defense command 1, Pioneer command 1 and Medical command 1 were dissolved in September 1993. For the I Corps Headquarters itself the plans saw first of all that it should be amalgamated in [[Mönchengladbach]] with the [[Territorial Northern Command]]. However, new considerations to multinational units meant that the German I. Korps Headquarters was disbanded in August 1995, being merged into the 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps.
The corps' readiness for action was achieved on August 30, 1995, and celebrated in the presence of the [[Prime Minister of the Netherlands|Dutch Prime Minister]] [[Wim Kok]] and the [[Chancellor of Germany (Federal Republic)|German Chancellor]] [[Helmut Kohl]]. The headquarters were chosen to be in Münster because Münster was already the location of the I German Corps' headquarters. On top of that it was chosen due to the particular significance for both countries as the place where the [[Peace of Westphalia]] was signed.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}
In 1997, [[Germany]] and the [[Netherlands]] laid down the cooperation in several documents. In general, these state that Germany and the Netherlands provide the Corps framework on an equal basis; both countries share the responsibility for command & control capabilities. In 2002, the Corps met NATO Full Operational Capability criteria and was certified to act as a High Readiness Force Headquarters capable of rapid deployment as part of a NATO Combined Joint Task Force. Since 2002, the multinational Corps HQ has been based on a Memorandum of Understanding between 12 NATO nations.
The original tasks of the corps lay in the defence of the territories of NATO member states as part of NATO's main defence force as well as taking part in peacekeeping missions, humanitarian missions and emergency aid during [[natural disaster]]s.
[[Image:BW Barettabzeichen DNL.png|thumb|right|Beret badge of 1 (GE/NL) Corps]]
Soon after its Final Operational Capability, the corps was given new tasks: it was designated "Forces Answerable to the Western European Union",<ref>pp.28, Thomas-Durell Young, Multinational Land Formations and NATO: Reforming practices and structures, Strategic Studies Institute, U.S. Army War College, Carlisle Barracks, PA, 1997</ref> and since December 1999, the corps is a Land Component Command within NATO's command structure. At this time its subordinated divisions were the 1st German Panzer Division from Military District Command II in Hannover, and the Netherlands [[First Division 7 December|1st Division 7 December]], a mechanised infantry formation stationed in [[Apeldoorn]], principally its 41st Armoured Brigade, in 1990s 41st Light Brigade?) that had been stationed in [[Seedorf, Lower Saxony|Seedorf]], [[Lower Saxony]] as part of NATO deployments for several decades.<ref>pp.34-35, Fleck, Dieter & Addy, Stuart, ''The handbook of the law of visiting forces'', Oxford University Press (UK), 2001</ref>
At the same time, the transition to a multinational unit began, which included considerable issues in organisational psychology between the two forces.<ref>Janssen, Charles J., Dr., ''Ein bischen "bi" schadet nie: The German-Dutch Army Corps'', Psychological & Social Service, 1 (GE/NL) Corps [http://www.ijoa.org/imta96/paper22.html] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205030603/http://www.ijoa.org/imta96/paper22.html |date=2008-12-05 }}</ref> After concluding exercise "Cannon Cloud" at the [[Baumholder]] [[training area]] in November 2002, the corps became a "High Readiness Forces (Land) Headquarters" (HRF(L) HQ) as part of NATO's Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF). The first deployment within this framework took place between February and August 2003 when the corps operated as [[International Security Assistance Force|ISAF]]'s headquarters in [[Afghanistan]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.1gnc.de/history/corpshistory/corpshistory.htm|title=History of the garrison Münster|access-date=2008-02-24 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080209033325/http://www.1gnc.de/history/corpshistory/corpshistory.htm |archive-date = 2008-02-09}}</ref> (HQ ISAF-3), following the command periodes of the United Kingdom (ISAF-1) and Turkey (ISAF-2)
[[Image:MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg|thumb|Headquarters of 1(GE/NL)Corps in Münster]]
Following this, the "Land Component Command" was further developed. From the beginning of 2004, the corps was subordinate to [[NATO]] [[Allied Joint Force Command Naples]] and became "NATO Response Force-Headquarters" (NRF) in November 2004. During the first half of 2005 it was on stand-by as the fourth headquarters NRF-4.
Since the transfer of the first [[Military of Belgium|Belgian]] officer in 2005 and ten [[French Armed Forces]] officers in 2006 to Münster, twelve nations are represented at 1 German/Netherlands Corps.
From January to July 2005, the Corps assumed the standby role as the NATO Response Force Land Component Command to demonstrate the NATO Initial Operational Capability. During the months of May and June 2005, 1(GE/NL) Corps practiced this capability by conducting exercise IRON SWORD, a challenging Deployment Field Training Exercise to practice multinational operations in an expeditionary environment. In deploying more than 6,000 soldiers and 2,500 vehicles by land, air and sea from Central Europe to Norway, the Corps clearly illustrated the progress made during the NATO Response Force standby period and made a real contribution towards the continual development of the NATO Response Force Full Operational Capability.
The Corps was also the on-call High Readiness Force for NATO contingency operations in 2008. In 2009, the Corps deployed to Afghanistan providing the core staff of the International Security Assistance Force ([[ISAF]]) and the ISAF Joint Command. The Corps also provided national troop contributions, most notably a 40-man contingent to Regional Command South.
From mid 2013 until January 2014, some 200 multi-national Staff Officers and soldiers deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan, to contribute to the ISAF HQ, ISAF Joint Command and other units.
In 2015, the 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps HQ was on stand-by for the NRF for the third time. Following the decisions taken in Cardiff, Wales, additionally the Corps was tasked to develop and test the Initial Very High Readiness Task Force concept, which resulted in deployment of units from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, The Netherlands and Norway to the Zagan training Area in Poland to conduct exercise Noble Jump. Due to the security situation at that moment, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, SACEUR General Philip Breedlove, four Ministers of Defence as well as some 200 journalists visited the exercise.
Currently, apart from its Staff Support Battalion and Command Information Systems Battalion, the Corps does not have assigned units any longer. Following a (NATO) Force Generation Process, the Corps will get multinational units assigned to create a tailor-made organisation capable of meeting the given tasks. Since mid 2017 until mid 2018, the Corps is on stand-by as NATO Joint Task Force HQ (Land) together with its sister-HQ French Rapid Reaction Corps in Lille. Following that, in 2019 the Muenster HQ will be on stand-by again for the NATO Response Force.

==Current structure ==
In an emergency the corps must be able to deploy and lead a military mission inside and outside NATO territory within twenty to thirty days and in case of being on stand-by for NRF (NATO Response Force, 2019) or VJTF (Very High Readiness Joint Task Force, mid-2017 – mid-2018) first elements will be deployed within 2 days.
The Commander (COM), as noted above, is the German Lieutenant General Andreas Marlow; the Chief of Staff (COS) is the Dutch Brigadier General Rob Querido. The Deputy Commander (DCOM) is Dutch Major General Gerard Koot. The Corps contains 4 entities led by Brigadier Generals, namely the Support Division, the Operations+Training Division, the Knowledge+Policy+Plans Division and the Communication+Engagement Division.
The following units are permanently part of HQ 1(GE/NL) Corps:
* Staff Support Battalion (Münster)
* Communication and Information Systems (CIS) Battalion (Eibergen and Garderen)
Both these units are fully binational, manned with German and Dutch soldiers.

'''1 (GE/NL) Corps''' is a multinational formation consisting of units from both the [[Royal Netherlands Army]] and [[German Army]]. The corps' headquarters also takes part in [[NATO Response Force]] readiness rotations. It is situated in [[Münster]] ([[Westphalia|Northrhine Westphalia]]), formerly the headquarters of the German Army's I. Corps out of which 1 German/Netherlands Corps evolved. The corps has ''national'' and multinational operational responsibilities, and its commanding officer is the only one in Europe to have OPCON in peacetime.<ref>pp.26-27, Thomas-Durell Young, Multinational Land Formations and NATO: Reforming practices and structures, Strategic Studies Institute, U.S. Army War College, Carlisle Barracks, PA, 1997</ref>

In 2015, the 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps HQ was on stand-by for the NRF for the third time. Following the decisions taken in Cardiff, Wales, additionally the Corps was tasked to develop and test the Initial Very High Readiness Task Force concept, which resulted in deployment of units from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, The Netherlands and Norway to the Zagan training Area in Poland to conduct exercise Noble Jump. Due to the security situation at that moment, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, SACEUR General Philip Breedlove, four Ministers of Defence as well as some 200 journalists visited the exercise.
-Currently, apart from its Staff Support Battalion and Command Information Systems Battalion, the Corps does not have assigned units any longer. Following a (NATO) Force Generation Process, the Corps will get multinational units assigned to create a tailor-made organisation capable of meeting the given tasks. Since mid 2017 until mid 2018, the Corps is on stand-by as NATO Joint Task Force HQ (Land) together with its sister-HQ French Rapid Reaction Corps in Lille. Following that, in 2019 the Muenster HQ will be on stand-by again for the NATO Response Force.

<p>In 1991 the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Defence_minister" title="Defence minister">defence ministers</a> of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/The_Netherlands" class="mw-redirect" title="The Netherlands">The Netherlands</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> decided to establish a binational Headquarters to replace one German Corps Headquarters and one Dutch Corps Headquarters. In 1993 a treaty between the two countries was signed which resulted in two previously independent Headquarters being amalgamated to form 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps HQ or 1 (GE/NL) Corps consisting of one German and one Dutch division.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup>
</p><p><a href="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=I_Corps_(Bundeswehr)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="I Corps (Bundeswehr) (page does not exist)">I German Corps</a> had previously consisted of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1st_Panzer_Division_(Bundeswehr)" title="1st Panzer Division (Bundeswehr)">1st Panzer Division</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/3rd_Panzer_Division_(Bundeswehr)" title="3rd Panzer Division (Bundeswehr)">3rd Panzer Division</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/7th_Panzer_Division_(Bundeswehr)" title="7th Panzer Division (Bundeswehr)">7th Panzer Division</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/11th_Panzergrenadier_Division_(Bundeswehr)" title="11th Panzergrenadier Division (Bundeswehr)">11th Panzergrenadier Division</a>, and <a href="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=27th_Airborne_Brigade_(Bundeswehr)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="27th Airborne Brigade (Bundeswehr) (page does not exist)">27th Airborne Brigade</a>. After the end of the Cold War, various corps troops, such as Air defense command 1, Pioneer command 1 and Medical command 1 were dissolved in September 1993. For the I Corps Headquarters itself the plans saw first of all that it should be amalgamated in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/M%C3%B6nchengladbach" title="Mönchengladbach">Mönchengladbach</a> with the <a href="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Territorial_Northern_Command&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Territorial Northern Command (page does not exist)">Territorial Northern Command</a>. However, new considerations to multinational units meant that the German I. Korps Headquarters was disbanded in August 1995, being merged into the 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps.
</p><p>The corps' readiness for action was achieved on August 30, 1995, and celebrated in the presence of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_Netherlands" title="Prime Minister of the Netherlands">Dutch Prime Minister</a> <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Wim_Kok" title="Wim Kok">Wim Kok</a> and the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Chancellor_of_Germany_(Federal_Republic)" class="mw-redirect" title="Chancellor of Germany (Federal Republic)">German Chancellor</a> <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Helmut_Kohl" title="Helmut Kohl">Helmut Kohl</a>. The headquarters were chosen to be in Münster because Münster was already the location of the I German Corps' headquarters. On top of that it was chosen due to the particular significance for both countries as the place where the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Peace_of_Westphalia" title="Peace of Westphalia">Peace of Westphalia</a> was signed.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

</p><p>In 1997, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> and the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Netherlands" title="Netherlands">Netherlands</a> laid down the cooperation in several documents. In general, these state that Germany and the Netherlands provide the Corps framework on an equal basis; both countries share the responsibility for command & control capabilities. In 2002, the Corps met NATO Full Operational Capability criteria and was certified to act as a High Readiness Force Headquarters capable of rapid deployment as part of a NATO Combined Joint Task Force. Since 2002, the multinational Corps HQ has been based on a Memorandum of Understanding between 12 NATO nations.
</p><p>The original tasks of the corps lay in the defence of the territories of NATO member states as part of NATO's main defence force as well as taking part in peacekeeping missions, humanitarian missions and emergency aid during <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Natural_disaster" title="Natural disaster">natural disasters</a>.

<p>Soon after its Final Operational Capability, the corps was given new tasks: it was designated "Forces Answerable to the Western European Union",<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup> and since December 1999, the corps is a Land Component Command within NATO's command structure. At this time its subordinated divisions were the 1st German Panzer Division from Military District Command II in Hannover, and the Netherlands <a href="/enwiki/wiki/First_Division_7_December" title="First Division 7 December">1st Division 7 December</a>, a mechanised infantry formation stationed in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Apeldoorn" title="Apeldoorn">Apeldoorn</a>, principally its 41st Armoured Brigade, in 1990s 41st Light Brigade?) that had been stationed in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Seedorf,_Lower_Saxony" title="Seedorf, Lower Saxony">Seedorf</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Lower_Saxony" title="Lower Saxony">Lower Saxony</a> as part of NATO deployments for several decades.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup>
</p><p>At the same time, the transition to a multinational unit began, which included considerable issues in organisational psychology between the two forces.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> After concluding exercise "Cannon Cloud" at the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Baumholder" title="Baumholder">Baumholder</a> <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Training_area" class="mw-redirect" title="Training area">training area</a> in November 2002, the corps became a "High Readiness Forces (Land) Headquarters" (HRF(L) HQ) as part of NATO's Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF). The first deployment within this framework took place between February and August 2003 when the corps operated as <a href="/enwiki/wiki/International_Security_Assistance_Force" title="International Security Assistance Force">ISAF</a>'s headquarters in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> (HQ ISAF-3), following the command periodes of the United Kingdom (ISAF-1) and Turkey (ISAF-2)
</p>
<div class="thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:222px;"><a href="/enwiki/wiki/File:MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg/220px-MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="114" class="thumbimage" srcset="/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg/330px-MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg 1.5x, /upwiki/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg/440px-MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2559" data-file-height="1329" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/enwiki/wiki/File:MuensterDeutschNiederlaendischesKorps.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div>Headquarters of 1(GE/NL)Corps in Münster</div></div></div>
<p>Following this, the "Land Component Command" was further developed. From the beginning of 2004, the corps was subordinate to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a> <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Allied_Joint_Force_Command_Naples" title="Allied Joint Force Command Naples">Allied Joint Force Command Naples</a> and became "NATO Response Force-Headquarters" (NRF) in November 2004. During the first half of 2005 it was on stand-by as the fourth headquarters NRF-4.
</p><p>Since the transfer of the first <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Military_of_Belgium" class="mw-redirect" title="Military of Belgium">Belgian</a> officer in 2005 and ten <a href="/enwiki/wiki/French_Armed_Forces" title="French Armed Forces">French Armed Forces</a> officers in 2006 to Münster, twelve nations are represented at 1 German/Netherlands Corps.
</p><p>From January to July 2005, the Corps assumed the standby role as the NATO Response Force Land Component Command to demonstrate the NATO Initial Operational Capability. During the months of May and June 2005, 1(GE/NL) Corps practiced this capability by conducting exercise IRON SWORD, a challenging Deployment Field Training Exercise to practice multinational operations in an expeditionary environment. In deploying more than 6,000 soldiers and 2,500 vehicles by land, air and sea from Central Europe to Norway, the Corps clearly illustrated the progress made during the NATO Response Force standby period and made a real contribution towards the continual development of the NATO Response Force Full Operational Capability.
</p><p>The Corps was also the on-call High Readiness Force for NATO contingency operations in 2008. In 2009, the Corps deployed to Afghanistan providing the core staff of the International Security Assistance Force (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/ISAF" class="mw-redirect" title="ISAF">ISAF</a>) and the ISAF Joint Command. The Corps also provided national troop contributions, most notably a 40-man contingent to Regional Command South.
</p><p>From mid 2013 until January 2014, some 200 multi-national Staff Officers and soldiers deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan, to contribute to the ISAF HQ, ISAF Joint Command and other units.
</p><p>In 2015, the 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps HQ was on stand-by for the NRF for the third time. Following the decisions taken in Cardiff, Wales, additionally the Corps was tasked to develop and test the Initial Very High Readiness Task Force concept, which resulted in deployment of units from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, The Netherlands and Norway to the Zagan training Area in Poland to conduct exercise Noble Jump. Due to the security situation at that moment, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, SACEUR General Philip Breedlove, four Ministers of Defence as well as some 200 journalists visited the exercise.
</p><p>Currently, apart from its Staff Support Battalion and Command Information Systems Battalion, the Corps does not have assigned units any longer. Following a (NATO) Force Generation Process, the Corps will get multinational units assigned to create a tailor-made organisation capable of meeting the given tasks. The Corps served as Land Component Command for the NATO Response Force in 2005, 2008, 2015, 2019 and will be on stand-by again in 2023.
