The German Army (German: Deutsches Heer, Heer) is the land component of the armed forces of Germany. Traditionally the German military forces have been composed of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force after World War I. It was reinstalled in 1955 as the West German Army and as a part of the newly formed Bundeswehr. In the aftermath of the German reunification of 1990, the National People's Army of the former German Democratic Republic was integrated into the West German Army.
