Armed Forces Commissioner
Right to make proposals and recommendations
The very existence of an independent commissioner has a
positive effect on leadership behaviour
© German Bundestag/Siegfried Büker
If the Commissioner finds that there have been deficiencies or incorrect behaviour, he may request that the authorities responsible take measures to prevent future recurrences.
He can propose that criminal and disciplinary proceedings be initiated by referring a matter to the authority responsible.
The Commissioner’s proposals are not instructions or orders. However, his influence should not be underestimated. Experience has shown that the very existence of an independent commissioner to whom any member of the armed forces can have recourse has a positive effect on leadership behaviour.
