The Bundeswehr is the German armed forces, established in 1955 (not 1990 as stated in the prompt; the 1990 date likely refers to the post-reunification structure). It is a state-owned entity headquartered in Germany and comprises military personnel, as well as civilian administrative and procurement staff. The provided headcount of 3000 is significantly lower than the actual number of personnel in the Bundeswehr.
