Border Resident Office -
BRO
The Border Resident Office
program was part of a
USAREUR plan to aid the cavalry units on the border with
additional Army intelligence and translator assets culled from
Divisional and Corps units. The BRO program maintained offices
in several close border towns in the 2nd ACR and 11th ACR
sectors; the office in support of the Eaglehorse was in
Bad
Neustadt. The personnel of the BRO office worked in
civilian clothes and had close contact with the BGS, Zoll, BBP.
The program went through several changes as missions and
organizations of intelligence units evolved. The BRO office in
Bad Neustadt was closed in 1981 with the personnel pulled back
to their parent units. Later, it was re-opened with personnel
form the 108th MI Company.
