The Einsatzausbildungszentrum Schadensabwehr Marine (EAZS M) is a naval school of the German Navy in Neustadt in Holstein. It is subordinate to the department head operations in the naval command in Rostock.[1]
History
[edit]The naval damage control training center was formed in 1958 and set up in Neustadt in Holstein in 1959 under the name Schiffssicherungslehrgruppe.[2] The first commander was Captain Gerhard Junack, later commanders held the rank of Fregattenkapitän. Up until 2010, all commanders came from a naval engineering.
The training was initially directly subordinate to the Schiffsmaschinenkommando, from 1962 to command of ship technology. In 1965 the subordination for the Inspektion der Schiffstechnik in the Navy Office.
On January 1, 1974, the training centre was subordinated to the Technical Naval School I in Kiel and later renamed the Ausbildungszentrum Schiffssicherung (AZS).
When the submarine training group previously stationed in Neustadt was dissolved, a fourth inspection was set up, which is responsible for submarine rescue training.[3]
On April 1, 2010, the AZS was given an expanded area of responsibility, renamed the Einsatzausbildungszentrum Schadensabwehr Marine. It has since been led by a sea captain of the operational career.
The EAZS also has a support center for civil education and training with the training course for IT specialist system integration via civil education providers.
As part of the realignment of the German Navy, the Operations Training Center for Einsatzausbildungszentrum Schadensabwehr Marine (EAZS M) in Neustadt in Holstein was placed directly under the command of the Navy during a ceremonial inspection on March 26. Since April 1, 2013, the Operations Department Head has been responsible for the fate of the EAZS M at naval command level. The previous technical subordination as a teaching group of the Marinetechnikschule (MTS) in Parow ended after 131⁄2 years.[1]
The 60th anniversary of the Naval Damage Control Training Center was celebrated on August 23, 2019, in the presence of the Head of Operations in the Marine Command, Rear Admiral Jürgen zur Mühlen.[4]
