meaning of WEW

[Rossano]

Hello gentlemen
I happened to read the following : "im Wehrkreis IX im WEW verwendet"
What kind of department or office (in a Wehrkreis) was WEW, or simply what does it mean ?
Thanks+regards

Hello!

I would guess that WEW = Wehrersatzwesen. The part of the military administration that deals with the call up of conscripts, medical examinations etc.
