the lask had a peacetime organisation since 1972 under the command of the kommando landstreitkraefte (kdo. lask). its largest formations between 1956 and 1990 were the military districts iii and v, which generally consisted of three active divisions each, plus training-, combat support and logistic units. the "1. motorisierte-schützen-division" was additionally attached to the military district v, but was designated to leave that formation in wartime to play a key role in the assault on west-berlin. the "6. motorisierte schützendivision" existed only for two years (1956-1958) as an active formation.
