An essential part of the Bundeswehr Joint Support Command, the Bundeswehr Military Police – known as the Feldjäger – perform police duties and make a substantial contribution to the functioning of the Bundeswehr.
The Bundeswehr Military Police (MP) operate on land, in the air, at sea, and in the cyber and information domain. Wherever the Bundeswehr is operating, the MP will use their expertise to ensure the operational readiness of the armed forces. Bundeswehr Military Police forces are available and able to respond on a 24/7 basis, and they are ready to deploy around the world – especially in national and collective defence scenarios. Their military tasks and policing specialisations include, for example, close protection, SWAT operations, inquiries and investigations, and employment as MP marksmen or working dog handlers.
We – the Feldjäger – are the Bundeswehr Military Police. We perform duties ranging from close protection to crime scene work – worldwide and 24/7. We are responsive, robust and flexible.
The core tasks of the Bundeswehr Military Police include detention tasks; military law enforcement and traffic control; security tasks; inquiries and investigations; and the provision of support to homeland security, area defence and object security. In addition, the Military Police serve as a point of contact for servicemen and women who need help in emergency situations.
