Nach der Umbenennung des Bundesgrenzschutzes trägt die GSG 9 ihren Namen weiter, nun jedoch mit dem Zusatz „der Bundespolizei“. Die GSG 9 ist als Antiterroreinheit, zur Geiselbefreiung und Bombenentschärfung trainiert und wurde als Grenzschutzgruppe 9 am 26. September 1972 nach der Geiselnahme von München gegründet, nachdem die überforderte Polizei die Ermordung von elf israelischen Teilnehmern der Olympischen Spiele in München durch das Terrorkommando Schwarzer September nicht hatte verhindern können. Bekannt wurde die GSG 9 durch die Geiselbefreiung des von palästinensischen Terroristen entführten Lufthansa-Flugzeugs „Landshut“ im Deutschen Herbst 1977. GSG 9 der Bundespolizei, formerly Grenzschutzgruppe 9 (English: Border Protection Group 9), is the police tactical unit of the Bundespolizei the German Federal Police. The Landespolizei (state police) maintain their own tactical units known as the Spezialeinsatzkommando (SEK). On September 5, 1972, the Palestinian terrorist movement Black September infiltrated the Summer Olympic Games in Munich, West Germany, to kidnap 11 Israeli athletes, killing two in the Olympic Village in the initial assault on the athletes' rooms. The incident culminated when German police – who were not trained or equipped for counter-terrorism operations, and had underestimated the number of terrorists involved – attempted to rescue the athletes. Police did not have a specialized tactical sniper team at that time. The army had snipers, but the German Constitution did not allow the use of German Armed Forces on German soil during peacetime. The police rescue failed, and the operation led to the deaths of one policeman, five of the eight kidnappers and all of the remaining nine hostages. After renaming the Bundesgrenzschutz to Bundespolizei in 2005, the abbreviation "GSG 9" was kept because of the fame of the unit even though Border Protection Units became obsolete. The official way to refer to the unit is GSG9 der Bundespolizei (abbreviated GSG9 BPOL or GSG9) The unit forms part of the German Bundespolizei (Federal Police, formerly Bundesgrenzschutz), and thus has normal police powers, including, for example, the power of arrest. The Federal Police of Germany (and thus the GSG 9) is under the control of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The Bundespolizei also provides aerial transportation for the GSG 9. On August 1, 2017 GSG9 was transferred to the Federal Police Directorate 11 which was established as a supreme command for all special operations units of the German Federal Police. The subsequent 4.5-month training period includes the basic and specialized training.] During the basic training section candidates undergo vigorous training which prepares them for their tasks as operators in the GSG9. The training includes marksmanship training, tactical courses, close quarter combat, land navigation, climbing, rappelling and medical training. The basic training concludes with the final week of rigorous testing where candidates are forced to demonstrate their skills under enormous stress. Upon successful completion of the basic training, candidates undergo various training sections for their respective specialisation. These may include parachuting, maritime operations, advanced marksmanship, advanced medical skills or EOD techniques. Successful completion of all training cycles allows GSG9 operators to wear the GSG9 badge on their uniforms and given the title police officer for special purposes in accordance with their rank. Further training often involves co-operation with other allied counter-terrorism units like Israel's Yamam and Australia's Specialist Response Group. The identity of GSG 9 members is classified.
