Best Moment
Being able to tour some of the German countryside, unlike when I was stationed there before.

   

Chain of Command
The unit was OL 8, a dual-radar system from the 601st Tac Control Sqdn, reporting to 38th Tac Missile Wing at Sembach.

Other Memories
THe site was equipped with 2 MSQ-1A radar systems, state-of-the-art. We ran simulated Matador missile missions just as when I was in Germany before. It was not isolated, but it was about 4 miles from the nearest town, Landshut. We lived with the Army 2nd Armored Division, but had our own barracks. The personnel at the site were divided into 4 complete crews - with all support staff (supply, admin, ground power, etc also) The crews rotated duty so the site was manned and operational 24/7. We were selected as test site for implementation of AFM 66-1 maintenance records system as well as checking the basic P.M. cards for the new system. Maintenance, operations, and other activities made for a smooth running site.
I enjoyed the time spent there.
