The task of the training band is to pave the way for young musicians to become professionals and to prepare them for future service in the Bundeswehr.

It consists of a teaching staff, three officers and one bandmaster, which coordinate and manage the training company, which offers can accommodate up to 150 musicians.

That November, Captain Ludwig Kühlechner became head of the training platoon and in December the first concerts took place under his leadership and that of his senior deputy, Sergeant Major Joseph Hoser.

Colonel Michael Schramm (later the head of the Military Music Service of the Bundeswehr) was the first graduate of the school.

The construction of a new training center in Hilden necessitated a temporary relocation of the band until April 2018 to the Bergische Kaserne in the Hubbelrath district, which was then in the process of being disbanded.
