Germany's defence minister says she has ordered the partial dissolution of the elite KSK commando force, which has come under growing criticism over right-wing extremism in its ranks.

Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told a newspaper it had become partly independent of the chain of command.

In May, police seized explosives and weapons at the home of a KSK soldier.

In January, military intelligence said there were almost 600 suspected far-right supporters in the army last year.

They also said the KSK (Special Forces Command) was seen as a particular problem, with 20 members of the elite force suspected of right-wing extremism.

The KSK had "become partially independent" from the chain of command, with a "toxic leadership culture", Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

The minister set up a working group in May to examine the problem, and the group presented a report on its findings on Tuesday.

The KSK "cannot continue to exist in its current form" and must be "better integrated into the Bundeswehr [German army]", said the report, seen by the AFP news agency.

One of the force's four companies, where extremism is said to be the most rife, will be dissolved and not replaced, the minister said.

"Anyone who turns out to be a right-wing extremist has no place in the Bundeswehr and must leave it," she told German radio.

KSK operations will be moved to other units as far as possible, and the force will not take part in international exercises and missions until further notice.

Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer said the latest findings - including the disappearance of 48,000 rounds of ammunition and 62kg (137lb) of explosives - were "disturbing" and "alarming".

An internal investigation is due to determine whether those items were stolen or are missing due to sloppy bookkeeping.

The unit was founded in 1996, and has some 1,000 soldiers trained for crisis situations such as freeing hostages abroad, which had not been possible until then without assistance from other countries' forces.

The military's problem with far-right supporters emerged in 2017.

Inspections were ordered on all military barracks when Nazi-era memorabilia was found at two of them. Many of those suspected of far-right links are thought to be sympathetic to Germany's main opposition AfD party.

Heard an interesting theory about this. Basically, the whole downsizing and so on under the guise of fighting evil Nazis is just a front to hide the fact that the Bundeswehr is bleeding professional staff, and Kramp-Karrenbauer is using this excuse to slim down or axe a branch that couldn't be maintained anymore, anyway.
Another theory is that the government is fearing a military coup de etat at some point, which are often led by elite commando units. Wether they're fearing a neonazi putsch against Germany or a counter-putsch to save Germany from commies and Antifas they didn't say.
I find both theories a bit outlandish and still think it's just Kramp-Karrenbauer wanting to look like she's actually doing anything. And without commando units there's fewer units around to complain about a lack of air-worthy helicopters and functioning gear.

I wonder if some of the other EU cuck states are gonna disband their commando units, too, or at least send in the Inquisition.

I was wondering who the fuck decides a woman should be minister of defence, but then I realized this is the current year

Welcome to Europe! Enjoy your stay!

I think I've already an idea at which PMC some most likely will end up.

Naming a German security group after their ancestors-by-rape. That's pretty funny.

So what will happen to the commandos? Will they get new military positions with same or higher pay grade? Or will they be unemployed and pissed?

I'd imagine they'd get reassigned to other military positions

Honestly the less army Merkel has the better. Sorry Krauts.

So the KSK seems to be missing some tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and many kilograms of explosives. Which is weird, considering how incredibly anal the Bundeswehr is about every single bullet (seriously, it's hilarious). They suspect that maybe one of the oh-so-neonazi-KSK soldiers stole them, but considering the amount and how tight a lid they keep on the bullets, that seems rather unlikely. There are some fun theories around that, too. One year ago the german Navy school sail boat, the Gorch Fock, needed repairs worth over 100 million euroes, which many people found quite odd. Conspiracy theories said that the KSK and combat divers and others did black ops in Syria and Africa without the parliament knowing, and when the costs became too large they had to invent the Gorch Fock repairs to cover those costs. The missing ammunition could fit in there as well, which they're now trying to blame on evil Neonazis.
On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that any german army or navy unit actually did anything, anywhere.

Wasn't in the Kraut military, but one of the first skills we picked up in the US is how to make shit "officially disappear." Someone signed for X-amount of Y-item and we're supposes to have Z-amount on hand/accounted for.

So if the IG or someone comes poking around; we know the procedure they use, invent a story, cook the books, and make shit vanish. I'd wager other militaries learn the same skills.

There was a story of some dumfuck inviting a tinder date to a unit party, she saw the drinking and fun and noticed they were listening to a song from a "fascist metal rock group" and ran with it. In typical whore fashion she bragged about it to her social circle and it was reported upwards, gaining exaggeration at each turn until it became a secretive unit of neo-zeon waiting to drop a space colony on australia. Retarded.

The guys were dumb, not keeping outsiders apart, every fire station, unit, or apparatus that has cameradery and morale is going to be manly and unified, which ends up being a very different world than most civilians are living in. It's a recipe to get your workplace sacked to bring in unvetted, SJW's in your midst and speak freely.

This is a great way to get rid of extremism, though. (Which makes me really think that the aim isn't to stop or de-radicalize, it's to further push people out of the mainstream into the violent fringe so they boogiemen they need for their political aims leave the hypothetical and enter the real) So far it has only been reported they're disbanding, from what I hear there's little chance they'll be re-absorbed by the military.

Maybe they'll go private security contractors, my industry homies seem to think there will definitely be a huge uptick in private trigger work over the next ten years. Gonna get back to the heavenly days of 2004 where the ammo's paid for, the SUV's are bulletproof, and your ROE consists of "Shoot back". (Except this time it will be in oakland CA, not Iraq.)

Allowing Germany to reunite was a mistake.
