Secret plan of the Bundeswehr: This is what the future looks like for MV in the event of a crisis

In times of increasing tensions in Europe, the Bundeswehr has drawn up a secret Operation Plan D, which runs to over 1,000 pages. This plan, which has become particularly important as a result of Russia's attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, which violates international law, shows how Germany should react to security policy crises. The first draft of the plan was developed in early 2024; an update is expected for mid-2026. Under the direction of the Bundeswehr's Operational Command, both in Berlin and in Schwielowsee, the plan is being developed in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Homeland as well as the state governments. This is what the information from shows Northern Courier.

Given the changed security policy situation, the Federal Government continues to see Russia as the greatest threat to peace and security in Europe. The Federal Government's National Security Strategy, formulated in 2023, pursues the goal of an integrated security strategy that involves all relevant actors in responsibility for ensuring Germany's security.

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in focus

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania plays a special role here, as it is intended to be an important staging area for around 120,000 soldiers and material. In an emergency, over 800,000 Allied soldiers and 200,000 vehicles would have to be relocated through Germany within six months. This massive mobilization is a central element of the plan, which combines military and civilian aspects.

Especially with regard to the civilian population, AfD parliamentary group leader Nikolaus Kramer is critical of the secrecy of the plan. He calls for a public debate about the impact on citizens' security, infrastructure and quality of life. According to Kramer, the federal and state governments should clearly explain how security of supply can be guaranteed in an emergency.

Operation Plan D is not just a military document. He also emphasizes the need for civilian support and the role of society in defense strategy. The OPLAN DEU, an internal planning document, also aims to ensure the protection of Germany in the event of a defense. On the website opplan.de There is a lot of information that makes the plan more understandable and explains its relevance to society.

In view of these developments, it is clear: the security policy landscape in Germany is facing major challenges. It remains to be seen what a broad public discussion might look like and what measures will ultimately lead to the implementation of the plan.
