(Fremde) Militärstützpunkte in Deutschland
Hans-Peter Richter (Deutscher Friedensrat) 16. August 2007 (Fremde) Militärstützpunkte in Deutschland Heute benutzt das US-Militär 72 Orte in Deutschland und hat etwa 68.000 Soldaten. Die britischen Truppen nutzen 5 Orte und haben 25.000 Soldaten in Deutschland. Im Sommer dieses Jahres wurden gerade 8.500 US-Soldaten aus Deutschland abgezogen und drei Stützpunkte werden aufgegeben. Alle Soldaten haben ihre Heimatbasis in Deutschland, aber es sind nicht immer alle da, weil immer einige militärische Einheiten im Krieg sind; in diesem Falle werden zum Kriegsschauplatz transportiert. Nachdem ihr Turnus beendet ist, kehren sie mit ihren Waffen nach Deutschland zurück und eine andere Einheit löst sie ab (Rotationsprinzip). In diesem Sommer wird noch mehr rotiert als vorher und möglicherweise kommt die Einheit nicht zurück. Aber nur in seltenen Fällen geht sie in die USA zurück, eher ist ihr Stützpunkt in einem anderen Land. Nur wenig Verringerung Im August 2004 kündigte US-Präsident George Bush eine Reduzierung der im Ausland stationierten Streitkräfte an (1). Damit sollte Geld gespart werden, das in die Modernisierung der Waffen gesteckt werden sollte, um damit die schnelle Interventionsfähigkeit der Streitkräfte zu verbessern. Entsprechend Bushs Ankündigung sollen beginnend 2006 ungefähr 45.000 GIs aus Europa abgezogen werden. Aber 2005 stellte sich heraus, dass davon nur 6.100 Soldaten in Deutschland betroffen sind, zusätzlich 11.000 Familienangehörige und ungefähr 1.000 Zivilbeschäftigte der US-Armee und weitere 1.000 deutsche Zivilbeschäftigte(9). Das Verteidigungsministerium (DoD) kündigte am 29. Juli den Abzug von 11 Stützpunkten in Deutschland im Haushaltsjahr 2007 am. Dieser geplante Abzug ist Teil des Abzuges des Hauptquartiers der 1. -
