Cold War HQ Central Army Gp NATO SFC Rose


Uit de verzameling van Walter Swett


Cold War stein named to SFC Billy T. Rose, Headquarters, Central Army Group (NATO), dated Aug 1964 - Aug 1967, Feudenheim with city crests of Heidelberg and Mannheim.

The Central Army Group (CENTAG) was established in 1952 and was assigned to work with US Army Europe at Campbell Barracks. After the Bundeswehr was activated in 1955, German forces were assigned to the plan section of CENTAG.

In April 1959, the plans section of CENTAG became Headquarters, Central Army Group and was commanded by an American general. It remained at Campbell Barracks and was charged with defending southern Germany against any prospective Soviet attack. It consisted of the German II Corps, the German III Corps, the US V Corps, and the US VII Corps.

In August 1961, CENTAG was relocated to Hammonds Barracks, Seckenheim, Germany and remained there until December 1980 when NATO determined coordination was better when three headquarters were located on the same installation. CENTAG was returned to Campbell Barracks to be collocated with the 4th Allied Tactical Air Force (4 ATAF) and the Allied Command Europe Mobile Force-Land (AMF(L)).

Structural changes began in June 1993, when CENTAG and its counterpart in northern Germany, the Northern Army Group (NORTHAG), at Mönchengladbach, were deactivated and combined to form Allied Land Forces Central Europe (LANDCENT), which was activated in Heidelberg on 1 July 1993.
