Zentren Des Heeres
The Army Training Centres (german: Zentren des Heeres), together with the Army Training Schools (''Schulen des Heeres''), form the training establishments of the German Army within the '' Bundeswehr''. They are subordinated to the German Army Office (''Heeresamt''). Several are not (exclusively) charged with training, but are also support establishments that, e. g. are responsible for Army logistics or the maintenance and operations of training facilities, including the military training areas. The distinction between training centres and schools or arms schools in the Army is sometimes blurred. For example, many centres that are charged with basic and continuation training for an arm or service are run by a general who is the head of arm, such as the General of the Armoured Corps (''General der Panzertruppen''). The individual Army Training Centres are: * Special Operations Training Centre (''Ausbildungszentrum Spezielle Operationen'') at Pfullendorf * Munster Training Cen ...

An army (from Old French ''armee'', itself derived from the Latin verb ''armāre'', meaning "to arm", and related to the Latin noun ''arma'', meaning "arms" or "weapons"), ground force or land force is a fighting force that fights primarily on land. In the broadest sense, it is the land-based military branch, service branch or armed service of a nation or country. It may also include aviation assets by possessing an army aviation component. Within a national military force, the word army may also mean a field army. In some countries, such as France and China, the term "army", especially in its plural form "armies", has the broader meaning of armed forces as a whole, while retaining the colloquial sense of land forces. To differentiate the colloquial army from the formal concept of military force, the term is qualified, for example in France the land force is called ''Armée de terre'', meaning Land Army, and the air and space force is called ''Armée de l'Air et de l’Esp ...
