Kasernierte Volkspolizei
In November 1948 the German Interior Administration ("Deutschen Verwaltung des Innern", DVdI) took responsibility over the force (and the border troops) and included them in section named "Hauptabteilung Grenzpolizei und Bereitschaften" (HA GP/B). The section was renamed to "Verwaltung für Schulung" (VfS) on 25 August 1949, to "Hauptverwaltung für Ausbildung" (HVA) on 15 October 1949 and to "Kasernierte Volkspolizei" (KVP) on 1 June 1952.
