Mission-related support
DFS is responsible for internal tactical training, including the use of confidential mission-related information of NATO. The regular exchange with operational units as well as the representation in NATO bodies ensure that DFS is up-to-date concerning operational procedures and principles. It is laid down in Art. 87a of the German Constitution that, after the triggering of specified alert measures, the Armed Forces assume the responsibility for handling and planning the entire air transport and air traffic control services in states of tension or defence. In order to perform the broader range of tasks, the Armed Forces have to rely on the personnel and material support of DFS. Procedures to prepare, conduct and implement personnel measures in terms of mobilisation orders and the temporary exemption of DFS staff from military service are stipulated in the agreement between the Federal Ministry of Defence and the Federal Ministry of Transport concerning the provision of air navigation services in states of tension and defence. These personnel measures are taken on the basis of the laws concerning compulsory military service and alternative civilian service.
