The German Army provides the largest contingent of intervention forces with 20,700 soldiers.
The main component of these forces is the 1st Panzer Division, which is distinguished from other "normal" Army divisions by a multitude of permanently assigned divisional combat support troops.
The forces that are placed on readiness by the Army are capable of executing combined arms operations at the divisional level.
All combat and air transport formations make a contribution to both intervention and stabilisation forces.
In addition, unlike the Army, little is known about the composition of intervention forces in the Navy.
