Please Note: The "special warheads" were physically under U.S. military control. Nike units that were manned by other nations had U.S. troops physically present controlling the warheads. The U.S. units had different unit names than the unit names of the other nations. For an explanation of the dual role, please see US Army units on NATO Countries Batteries by Richard Scheffler

"DSP" means "Direct Support Platoon".

There is much evident confusion in the following (I tried to "organize" it again in December 1999) - If you are looking for a person or a place, and it does not seem to appear in the organization below, please used the "Edit","Find" function of your browser - you may find it that way.

I beleive I am one of the few people that has pulled every position on the Custodial Teams from PFC Guard to Team Commander (except cook) during my 9 years associated with these units. I retired as a Major from HQ USAREUR in 1992 and stayed in Heidelberg.

I had a short period where I actually went to the missile site and had guard duty on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours (we trained during those 12 hours)... after Christmas I was told that I was being transferred to the 552hdq and my job was ass't operations sargeant ... I believe this was unusual since the operation sargeant was an e9 rank and I was a know nothing e2 draftee who at that time had about 1 year left in the army ... it was however a very interesting 12 months and I'm grateful I had that opportunity. 6/65-1/66
. Martin, Gary L., assistant team commander and as team commander of B Team, 42nd US Artillery Detachment, Wagenfeld, Germany My wife and I spent our first three years of married life in Germany and lived for several years in Diepholz, Germany where I commuted to the site daily. My wife and I enjoyed the country and were able to visit a total of eleven countries during my tour there with B Team. I bought a new VW from a dealer in Bremen and drove the car for three years - finally shipping it back to the states when my tour was over. I was able to learn quite a bit of German during my tour and had many opportunities to use the language both in my position as team commander while supporting one of the Batteries of the 25th FlaRak Battalion. I would love to hear from any individuals that served in the 42nd Arty Detachment from May 1963 to May 1966. I did recognize three names on the website listing that were in my unit. Last year (2005), I was able to locate the commander of the 42nd Arty Detachment who I served under. His name is Heston Higginbotham (captain in 1966) and he now retired and lives in Loveland, Colorado. I would appreciate contact with anyone associated with my unit. It would be interesting to hear where everyone went after serving in Germany. 5/1963-5/66

. Sutton, Tim, SP4 35th USAAD A team Jever Germany4/72-10/73
. Wesley, Joe, As an enlisted man SP/4, (16B ) the duty was dreadful with those never ending inspections and preparation. But I must admit, we made up for it once off duty. After 37 years, I think Jever Bier is still leaching from my skin. Another thing I remember well was the crazy cook and mess Sgt. My experience with the 26th FlaRakBtl was the greatest. Once I learned some German, I really got to know a lot of the guys. We shared a lot of biers and good times together.
BTW, I remember how the US Air Force F-4 would occasionally buzz the site down range. It makes military sense that they would have destroyed the site if we didn't in the required two hours. We were expendable.
After leaving the Army in 1970, I became a law enforcement officer and retire as a Lieutenant after 31 years on the force. I'm now enjoying my retirement in Florida.

. Thomas, Lawrence Bruce, I came to Waldbroel directly from the Officer Basic course at Ft. Bliss. "B" Team underwent a TPI a couple of weeks later that it failed, and we then endured weekly TPIs from every level up to DoD for the better part of 3 months (even if they did call them TAVs). I became team leader after 8 months, when my predecessor got his orders to Vietnam. I followed him 13 months later. Had a great time working with the German NCOs and officers, rented a room from a German family, and we never failed a TPI after that first one I endured. Made a visit back in 1999, but the Luftwaffe FlaRak unit was gone ... visited the family I rented a room from, and met the grown German sons of my team sergeant MSG Harold Dean Lamb (by then deceased; he'd married my landlord's daughter). I'm in touch with my successor, John Lauerman (I still remember pulling 168 on/0 off to let him vacation on the French Rivera -- the lucky stiff even ended up serving his final year in Italy while I was in Vietnam!). Would enjoy hearing from anyone I served with, including: SFC Fisher, SFC Franklin, SP4 Leighty, SP4 Omlor, 1LT Green, CPT Holley8/67-5/69

. Kirkpatrick, Charles E., A&M Officer, Security Officer, and finally Team Commander. Interesting experience. Very hard duty for the soldiers, since we were characteristically at something like 65% of authorized strength. There were times when the duty officer had to work as part of the guard relief, just in order to have enough people to run two day-on, day-off shifts, and we occasionally had to assign the 24U Warhead Techs to the same duty for the same reasons. One particular memory was our two mess sergeants--SFC Ritcher, who was later replaced by SP6 Thomas, who had worked in a general officer mess in Hawaii. He like to cook with wines and liqueurs, and I remember soldiers dropping by the mess hall on payday to ask what he needed. Excellent mess! At Kemel, I met and profited by knowing a great NCO, SFC Henry Neal, Sr., who later was promoted to 1st Sgt. and became 1st Sgt. of the 501st at the time when I became acting commander. He took it as his mission in life to keep me from doing something really stupid before I learned right from left and up from down. By that time, 501st was aligned under 557th USA Artillery Group at Herbornseelbach. Throughout most of my assignment in Germany, we were led by a truly great commander, Lt. Col. Howard Gill. the 501st had a string of commanders through those three or four years, but the best among them was Capt. Welfert (Bill) Bynum, who had prior service as an NCO and who had served in the Hawk battalion assigned briefly in Vietnam. Soldiers referred to him as the "law west of the Pecos." Fair, serious-minded, knowledgeable -- all those things you want in a guy in charge.7/72-10/73

The advanced party was assigned to another similar Group (In Leudenschied Germany ) to learn overall various operations/functions of a Group headquarters etc.
When we arrived, it was the first time many of the Bueren Germans had seen a American soldier since the war. It was a very interesting experience for many of us.

Rolf D. Goerigk says
"I`m using the unit/site designation according to: http://www.94thgroup.org/MAP1.htm

It is ... 5/1. The unit/site designation is correct since 1962. B 5/1 was not the first occupant but the first "stable" designation for many years or till the end of the Nike era.

Ron Payette says

"While I was in Germany, 62-65, The BN HQS & Hqs Co, were located on the air base in Wiesbaden. We were the only non-air force unit on the base. Our "A" Btry was located at Wackernheim. The BN tactical operations center was co-located on the "A" Btry site for the tactical direction and control of the four firing batteries. It's call sign was "Corral." But there were only a few HQTRS personnel there and a duty officer was sent over every evening. During the daytime a signal officer (Capt), was on duty there.

On the air base we had facilities that housed all the troops. It was a four story building as I recall. The first floor was mostly Hqs Co administration, the 2nd floor was all Bn Staff and the next two floors were troop billets. There was also a separate building for NCO quarters and a motor pool and maintenance area, including generator mechanics and equipment.

It could be at some later date that HQS-5-1 was kicked off the base. I'm sure the air force coveted that space given over to the Army! Apparently, there were many, many changes made over the years."

We took off from the DSP at Hoppstadten and it was a hurry to get there job. I was driving and about the time we got to Hahn air base Fred asked me if the hood latch on the drivers side was latch, because the latch on his side was not. Before you get to Hahn and clear the tree on 327 there is a small hill to go down, Before I could answer him, when I started down the hill at about 70-MPH, the unlatched hood came flying up. Thing got exciting I stuck my head out the window and was able to come to a controlled stop. I noticed Fred had very long arms, he was also able to poke his head out the passenger's side window and grab on to the steering wheel at the same time. 5/74-6/76
