 The scale of the task was immense, as not only did the fortifications have to be cleared but hundreds of roads and railway lines had to be rebuilt.Training for "Grenztruppen" soldiers was provided by the four training regiments; after the reorganization of 30 November 1989 (see below), the four regiments were consolidated into two training centers.Training for noncommissioned officers was held at the "Unteroffiziersschule der Grenztruppen der DDR "Egon Schultz“" in Perleberg.
