Dagger Complex

Location of the Dagger Complex in Hesse

The Dagger Complex [ ˈdægə (ɹ) kŏm'plĕks ] ( English for "plant dagger") is a base of military intelligence services of the United States in Darmstadt on the border with Griesheim. The base is located south of the former August Euler airfield, at Eberstädter Weg No. 51. It is one of the last three locations of the National Security Agency ( NSA ) next to Wiesbaden and Stuttgart - of originally "an estimated 18 facilities in the Federal Republic".

It is believed that various secret services and intelligence units of the United States conduct espionage in the Dagger Complex - partly in an underground complex. The company MacAulay-Brown , the third-largest espionage supplier to the US military, announced the Dagger Complex as its German headquarters in 2012.

According to the Spiegel , the spy software XKeyscore (XKS) will also be used in the Dagger Complex . The Dagger Complex received increased publicity in 2013 following the revelations made by Edward Snowden in the context of the 2013 surveillance and espionage affair .

history

The area on Eberstädter Weg was in the area of ​​the city of Griesheim until 1937 and then became part of the city of Darmstadt as a result of forced settlement .

The site has had different names since its existence. The following names are used: "USAF Security Services, 2nd Radio Squadron Mobile, Operations site" (1951), Darmstadt-Griesheim Training Area , Darmstadt Training Center (DTC) and Local Training Area 6910 (LTA 6910). The latter designation, especially its abbreviation, is used more often in more recent official documents.

1951-1972

The site was built and put into operation in 1951 as an operations base, with headquarters in Wiesbaden, the Air Force Security Group 2nd Radio Squadron Mobile "G" (2nd RSM "G"), a unit of the 6910th Security Group (6910th Scty Grp), which is part of the Air Force Security Service ( USAFSS ) and was previously stationed in Heidelberg. The 2nd RSM "G" was housed from 1947 to 1953 in the Ernst Ludwig barracks in Darmstadt. In 1953 she moved to the Cambrai-Fritsch barracks, where she stayed until she was moved to Augsburg in May 1972. The tasks of the 2nd RSM "G" were to carry out cryptologic and communication security for the Air Force. An antenna field was also used for these educational purposes. The 6910th Security Group also reported to the 6911th Radio Squadron, Mobile (6911 RSM). This was also stationed here from May 8, 1955 to August 31, 1956, before it was renamed the 6911th Radio Group, Mobile on September 1, 1956, and transferred to the 6100 Security Wing.

The US Air Force SIGINT collection squadron worked here in the 1950s . Up until 1976, only a single building in the area of ​​today's complex was shown on a topographic map of the Land Surveying Office.

Until 1999

Until 1999 the Americans operated a barracks for employees of the US Army and an American elementary school here. There was also a baseball field on the site, which could also be used by other baseball clubs (for example the Darmstadt Rockets or the Darmstadt Whippets 1992 eV ) until the early 1990s . The baseball field was built in 1990 and was right next to the buildings, separated by a fence. Today there is a parking lot at this point.

From 1999

From 1999 the site was converted into the new German headquarters of the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) , the intelligence service of the US Army, and expanded by 2,500 to 7,000 square meters; the cost was $ 18 million. Around 50 INSCOM units were relocated from Augsburg and Bad Aibling to Darmstadt in 1999.

Together with INSCOM, the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade and its 527th Military Intelligence Battalion and 105th Military Intelligence Battalion (with 169 soldiers and 12 civilian employees) were relocated to the new joint location by summer 2004. The units were housed in the Cambrai-Fritsch barracks and the Kelley Barracks (life guard barracks). The 66th Military Intelligence Brigade moved to Wiesbaden in September 2008. However, part of the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade remained in Darmstadt. The soldiers of the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade have lived in Wiesbaden since the Nathan Hale Depot in Darmstadt was closed in 2008 and will be transported to the Dagger Complex until the new buildings in Wiesbaden are completed. This means that the well-known secret service departments of the US Army, which also operated the Bad Aibling bugging base , can be found near Griesheim in Darmstadt. Since September 2013, the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade has been supported by SOS International LLC (SOSi) in the planning, collection and analysis of geo-data for the next three years . SOS International LLC itself is the largest American espionage service provider in Germany. Another large American company with a strong connection to military projects, Science Applications International Corporation [SAIC] (formerly Science Applications Incorporated), also supports the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade.

In an article in the American army newspaper The Stars and Stripes in 2003, it was denied that the relocation of the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade to Darmstadt was connected with the construction of the satellite dishes at the August Euler airfield near Griesheim. Rather, it was a United States Navy ( US Navy Europe ) facility . The United States Navy's intelligence unit ( Naval Security Group; NAVSECGRU ) was also located in the Dagger Complex. According to sources, this unit also operates Echelon posts. The NAVSECGRU Detachment Griesheim was renamed NAVIODET Griesheim GE on October 3, 2005, before being recalled on September 30, 2006. Since then, INSCOM has been operating the complex on behalf of the NSA. According to Der Spiegel, in July 2013 the complex was one of the best protected areas in Hesse and the largest intelligence analysis and production site in Europe in the United States. The associated 48 hectare (104 acres) training area is also managed by the US Army (USAREUR; status: 2013) and is designated for land maneuvers.

The facilities in the Dagger Complex currently (as of 2013) include the “European Cryptology Center” (ECC) - in the eastern area, building 4373 - with a focus on Signals Intelligence and the “European Security Operations Center” (ESOC) with the “Information Dominance Center "(IDC). Information Assurance Security Analysts (IA Security Analysts) work at ESOC. From August 14, 2008 to August 13, 2011, the technology consulting company Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. was responsible for the implementation of analytical services (including studies on survivability) for the European Security Operations Center (ESOC) and the 66th Military Intelligence Group ( MI GP).

The Dagger Complex is equipped with a directional radio antenna. For daily supplies there is a “Dagger Retail Store” for groceries, a hairdresser “Barber Shop”, a snack bar, an ATM and an “Army Post Office”. The shopping area is located in building 4381. The complex is divided into at least two security areas. The aforementioned building 4381 is located in an outer security area in order to make it easier for more people to enter. The Dagger Complex is guarded (including admission control) by Pond Security Service GmbH , whose cars can also be found on the premises. Centerra Integrated Services GMBH is responsible for facility management.

Around 1,100 intelligence professionals and special security officers work in the Dagger Complex . In 2013, Matthew Aid named about 50 civilian employees of the NSA, a company of the US Army's 24th Military Intelligence Battalion from the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade , a small unit (about 80 analysts and linguists from the 402nd Intelligence Squadron) of the 693d Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group ( 693 ISRG ) of the US Air Force, a small team of employees from Signal Intelligence of the US Marine Corps, Company G of the Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion relocated from its location to RAF Menwith Hill in England, as well as a number of other cooperation partners. Since 2011 at the latest, the 66th MI Integrated GEOINT Division (IGD) with its Advanced Geospatial Intelligence analysts has been part of it (GEOINT, literally "spatial reconnaissance", i.e. the merging of geographic information with object information from the military intelligence service). The results of the work are included in the situation reports to the US President , the so-called Presidential Daily Briefs , on average twice a week .

Spiegel Online reported on 30 December 2013 that the "European Security Operations Center" (ESOC) in Dagger Complex also NSA Department Tailored Access Operations to German custom operations , short-TAO, is housed.

At the end of May 2014, Spiegel Online reported that 858,000 euros from German tax revenues had been paid for planning and building owner costs for the site in the last 10 years.

Relocation to Wiesbaden-Erbenheim is currently planned. There is the headquarters of the US Army Command in Europe ( USAREUR ). The Darmstadt Training Center and thus the Dagger Complex are to remain in operation until new facilities have been set up in Wiesbaden. The so-called Consolidated Intelligence Center is being completed at the Lucius D. Clay Kaserne base there . Tap-proof offices and a high-tech control center are being built that will also be used by the NSA.

Protests

Protesters in front of the Dagger Complex (July 2013)

On July 13, 2013, there was a first demonstration in front of the Dagger Complex with around 80 participants. A user had jokingly called "NSA-Spion-Schutzbund e. V. ”was invited to take a walk to the Dagger Complex, whereupon he was visited and questioned by the state security and police in order to then point out that the event was a demonstration requiring registration.

A second demonstration with around 450 participants took place on July 20, 2013. On May 9, 2015 there was an escalation during the Saturday walk of the NSA-Spion-Schutzbund e. V. The initiator, Daniel Bangert (right in the picture, standing), was temporarily arrested.
