59th Ordnance Brigade
 |
Special ammunition depot of the US Army in Germany 1976 |
The 59th Ordnance Brigade was an association of the US Army . The brigade with its headquarters in the Husterhöh barracks in Pirmasens comprised over 6,500 soldiers. It was responsible for special ammunition dumps in which nuclear weapons were stored that the allied NATO partners could use in the context of nuclear participation .
history
The 71st Ordnance Battalion was activated in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1955 . In 1959, AWSCOM was formed from the battalion . On March 24, 1962, it was renamed the 59th Ordnance Brigade .
In October 1972 SASCOM and some units were taken over. The brigade then carried the addition of SASCOM. The orders for possible nuclear weapons operations were transmitted on two different telecommunications networks, depending on whether they were NATO ( SACEUR ) or US (CINCEUR) nuclear weapons. The NATO radio frequency network was called "Last Talk". CINCEUR was able to send "Emergency Action Messages" to the nuclear weapons depots, the custodial detachments (which in turn gave the respective national commanders clearance) or to the US troops with nuclear weapons. For this purpose, CINCEUR had access to the high-frequency telecommunications network "Regency Net" with headquarters in Pirmasens. Constantly checked long-distance connections across half of Europe from Flensburg on the Baltic Sea to Erzurum in Eastern Anatolia guaranteed the immediate forwarding of orders and messages. The connection across the Alps to southern Europe was made from SHAPE from Flobecq (BE) via Landstuhl (KriegsHQ Maßweiler for USAREUR , Kindsbach for USAFE ) and the Feldberg in the Black Forest to Dosso di Galli on Lake Garda (IT) (KriegsHQ West Star for southern Europe).
In June 1992 the brigade was deactivated after completing its task of removing a large proportion of nuclear weapons from Europe.
It was reactivated in 1994 at Redstone Arsenal Base , Alabama.

From there, nuclear ammunition is transported almost daily by air with the CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter to the following large camps throughout Germany: 1. Kellinghusen, 2. Lahn, 3. Telgte-Schirlheide (near Münster), 4. Büren / Paderborn, 5 Herbornseelbach, 6. Münster-Dieburg, 7. Siegelsbach, 8. Riedheim, 9. Fischbach, 10. War field. But nuclear warheads are also brought to the Pershings' air force bases and nuclear positions, as well as to numerous small nuclear weapons depots.
