997 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont The gate that allowed traffic between the East/West German border in our sector. This was just where we turned off the road to get to OP Sierra. 2/Border01_jpg_jpg.jpg
993 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont M551 crewmen uploading their Sheridan in preparation for a qualifying run. Notice the mud. The conditions could by hot and dusty one day, wet and miserable the next. 2/AmmoPoint02_jpg_jpg.jpg
994 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Picture shows how a TPT (Target, Practice, Tracer) round was packed in the metal shipping containers. Notice the rubber boot around the rear of the round. Because M551 rounds were fired using an electrical charge in the breach instead of a conventional firing pin, this rubber boot prevented static electricity from igniting the round. The pointed end of the "big blue" is in the foreground, covered by part of the shipping material. 2/AmmoPoint03_jpg_jpg.jpg
995 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont A shot of a familiar vehicle along the border trace. Can you name it? 2/bdr5_jpg_jpg.jpg
996 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Unknown Eaglehorse troopers at Lee from a German newspaper photo that has lost its caption. We used 1987 only to place the image, actual date is unknown. Anyone recognize these troopers?? 2/BDRUNK_jpg_jpg.jpg
1010 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Sheridans secured on the hardstand. Remember the tarps? 2/Tkprk1_jpg_jpg.jpg
1013 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont In front of the arms room, drawing weapons, ammo and equipment for US Patrol duty. 2/USPatrol01_jpg_jpg.jpg
992 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Scout trooper used for ammo detail. If you weren't an M551 crewman, this is usually where you ended up. It helped to have a good attitude as is evidenced by this troop. 2/AmmoPoint01_jpg_jpg.jpg
1011 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont This picture shows some East German maintenance vehicles on their side of the border. Nice image of a tower, also. 2/UPS4_jpg_jpg.jpg
998 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Here's a nice view of the border as we have a chance to look across. 2/Border04_jpg_jpg.jpg
1009 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont A Sheridan and an M60A1 loaded on a train in preparation for an upcoming gunnery. Due to the heavier weight of the M60A1, only one was allowed per railcar. Two Sheridans could be loaded on one car, however. 2/Rld1_jpg_jpg.jpg
1008 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont View from the drivers compartment of a Sheridan while on a roadmarch. I can still smell the diesel fumes when I look at this picture! 2/Rdmch1_jpg_jpg.jpg
1007 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Getting ready to pull the pack during maintenance week, otherwise known as Q-Service (Quarterly Service). This was normally done while we were back at the barracks, between border tours and field exercises. 2/QService02_jpg_jpg.jpg
1006 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Maintenance didn't stop if you were away from Daley Barracks. This picture shows me (foreground) and a member of my crew cleaning the pack (engine) and engine compartment of our Sheridan while on a border tour. 2/QService01_jpg_jpg.jpg
1005 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont A view of OP Sierra. For 24 hours at a time, this was home to the troops assigned to monitor the activities of the Meiningen Gap sector of the East/West German border. East Germany is in the background. 2/OPS_jpg_jpg.jpg
1004 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont I was lucky enough to catch this Sheridan firing while on the move. Being a former Sheridan driver myself, I can tell you that there is a great deal of coordination required between the driver and gunner, as it was imperative that the driver keep the track moving very smooth and steady less the gunner miss the shot. Another very interesting thing about this photo is that the M551 is firing over the side. We tried to avoid this practice, as turret screens came loose and even cupola bolts sheared off as a result of the massive recoil. 2/NightFire03_jpg_jpg.jpg
1012 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont While on US Patrol, we were routinely just a step away from the actual border. 2/USP3_jpg_jpg.jpg
999 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont A shot of the infamous "Barber Pole". 2/Border06_jpg_jpg.jpg
1000 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont This is a picture of my crew, the "Fireball" Express". We had just come off of the line after qualifying Distinguished. This is a rare photo, as it shows the late SSG Hale (at far left, wearing the sunglasses). 2/Crew_jpg_jpg.jpg
1003 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Another great view of the night fire line as a Sheridan cuts loose. 2/NightFire02_jpg_jpg.jpg
1001 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Nice picture of six Sheridans firing at one time. 2/Gunnery01_jpg_jpg.jpg
1002 1976 - 1978     John Skirmont Sheridans night firing from a stationary position on the firing line. The driver didn't have much to do here, and sometimes even caught up on some much needed sleep. Yes, we drivers did actually get used to the recoil enough to snooze! 2/NightFire01_jpg_jpg.jpg

I am standing on the right and Andrew Frosch (of Vermont) is the other person. During my three years with the Cav we often times did maneuver exercises on the economy and the German kids would hold up two fingers in the Victory or Peace sign depending on your interpretation. With the fall of East Germany, we felt it was appropriate to add the third finger. reunify.jpg

The last battery there I believe was A/1/1; the land is currently leased to a private 4 x 4 club as a cross country driving area. In the future, the entire area of the former LTA will become a nature preserve. 1/apr0203_airasp6.jpg

689 2001 Daley / Bad Kissingen Other Norbert Ruckel This great foto conveys just how much things changed. From third base on the diamond, go right to the white building with dark roof. This is our former dining facility. From here, orientation is simple; the " lower Kaserne " remains basically unchanged below the mess hall and, as you continue towards 6 o'clock, Bad Kissingen. Note that the roads have been reworked. From the mess hall going towards towards 12 o'clock, the re - graded and cleared area of the former barracks site with new construction under way. The footprint of the " new " hardstand and rear exit from Daley can be seen. mar1103_Airpic.jpg

There is a two bay garage also on the property. CID office or Quarters of the Post Commander?? 1/apr0203_Dly28.jpg
795 2003 Daley / Bad Kissingen Other Norbert Ruckel Here is an unidentified building that once was part of Daley Barracks Community. It is located on Bahnhof Strasse, not too far from the BOQ and rail station. If anyone remembers this structure and its use, please contact web master. OBTW, it is not the MP Station; that building can clearly be seen in Image # 615. Update - Provided by Doug Barrett Regarding the above mentioned photo on Banhof Strasse on Daley Kaserne. That building was actually over behind the post office and 'grocery store'. It had three primary uses as I recall. One, it housed the Headstart program for 'newbies'. Secondly it was used as a classroom for college classes conducted by Boston College (trust me...I took classes there) but.....the best use? It was the BK stereo store for us hard rocking American G.I.'s. I still have the stereo that I purchased from there. It was a very small store and you still had to go to Schweinfurt for the big ticket items. . You know... that building was the most unknown on site. I was in B-10-E from 82-83 and I think that I was the only in B-10-E that really knew that there was something in there besides headstart. I have hundred of pics from BK. Even the Wienerwald and the pizza (Saalbau) joint down by the polizei station in downtown BK. 1/apr0203_Dly27.jpg
866 2003 Border Other Norbert Ruckel Probably where the small hardstand was located for Tennessee. 1/apr1303_EH3.jpg
703 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel In this foto, we look across the interior of the site. Clearly some demolition has occurred. The towers are gone and seemingly other structures although I can't recall the specifics. The QRS, when first opened, was guarded by contract security guards from the local economy. I think our responsibility was to have one NCO at he guard house with the German commander and two surprise visits nightly by the Eaglehorse Staff Duty Officer. mar1903_qrs2.jpg
740 2003 Daley Other Norbert Ruckel Site of the former chapel. The shubs remain, building gone. The stone marker with plaque was placed in that area. The marker was moved to the BK Building Inspection Office when the chapel was razed. mar2303_Dly16.jpg
710 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel Continuing through the LTA, an older ASP, however, I don't recall this as the one the Eaglehorse used prior to the QRS. Perhaps it was used by the HAWK Battery or the 2 - 41 FA, although I thought this latter unit stored CL V at Rottershausen ASP, just SE of Bad Kissingen. If anyone recognises the area and can help tell the story, please contact webmaster. mar1903_msty3.jpg
709 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel A view of vehicle barriers and what appears to be a water catch and drain system. mar1903_msty2.jpg
708 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel Some mystery fotos from the LTA. As an LT, I was to this area just once, and I recall it as a wash rack. The story was that once the " new " wash rack above ( behind ) squadron maintenance was built, this one, located in the LTA was no longer used. Can anyone help tell this story? mar1903_msty1.jpg
707 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel The surrounding security double fence at the QRS. Much remains of this feature and a few things are gone. Interestingly, further demolition is not planned. The area is designated as a nature preserve and it is now very difficult for further changes to occur. If anyone can help tell the story of the QRS, please contact webmaster. mar1903_qrs6.jpg
706 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel Interior view of bunker. Lieutenants were tasked to inventroy all or parts of the CL V in storage to insure lot number and count accountablity. I believe the Support Platoon Leader had actual property accountability. As lots were condemned or became " suspect " by the Army wide CL V management system, an officer was tasked to locate and move the ammunition to a " segregation bunker " until the issue was resolved. mar1903_qrs5.jpg
712 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel Long view of this LTA feature. mar1903_msty5.jpg
704 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel However, much remains at the QRS. Seen here, the view into the berm surrounded area with the individual ammo vaults remaining. The SDO, upon making his visits to the QRS, would physically walk the interior area and inspect the towers. Everything was bathed in the orange light of sodium vapor lamps. mar1903_qrs3.jpg
713 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel CL V bunker line. mar1903_msty6.jpg
702 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel Norbert continues the foto safari in the LTA. The Quick Reaction Site ( QRS ) opened in 1980 and replaced the old ASP also found in Reiterswiesen. The site offered many advantages including ammo bunkers earmarked to individual vehicle pairs and an elevated site allowing ammo to be loaded " down and in " to the vehicles as they parked. The entire site was surrounded by large berms. This building I believe was the central guard house. mar1903_qrs1.jpg
701 2003 Daley/ Reitersresen Other Norbert Ruckel In the down range area, one of many heavy wood structures with remains of electric hook ups inclosed. The bunker is about one meter high. mar1903_mini3.jpg
700 2003 Daley/ Reitersresen Other Norbert Ruckel Second view looking back toward control area. mar1903_mini2.jpg
699 2003 Daley/ Reitersresen Other Norbert Ruckel Some of the features are difficult to place; Norbert believes that this is the mini tank range as seen looking up range. There was clearly a control area at one end, berms along the sides and a thick wood wall backstop down range. Can anyone provide additional information? mar1903_mini1.jpg
698 2003 Bad Kissingen Other Norbert Ruckel Here is the former dental facility located in town, near the BOQ and the Bahnhof. We are still trying to learn the current use of the building. mar1903_den1.jpg
696 2003 Daley/ Reitersresen Other Norbert Ruckel Many of you may recall this view, looking from airstrip across the valley that held much of the LTA. One of the modern, large Kur Hotels is visible on the far ridge to the right of center. mar1903_af3.jpg
867 2003 Border Other Norbert Ruckel With no need to trim the trees and brush, the familiar view towards Meiningen and beyond is gradually lost. 1/apr1303_EH4.jpg
705 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel A good view of the " down load " design of the QRS. During my period in squadron, the tanks often were to the QRS to remove portions of the basic load to make space for training ammunition used at gunnery. At least once or twice per year, the entire squadron went to the QRS during a monthly alert to insure that crews understood how the system worked and the location of their particular bunker. mar1903_qrs4.jpg

715 2003 Daley/ Reiterswiesen Other Norbert Ruckel The rifle range in support of Daley Barracks dates back to the earliest days of Manteuffel Kaserne although it was remodeled in both 1951 and 1985. This most recent change involved installation of the Army standard computerized range set. Norbert Ruckel continued the foto safari; a sign remains by the entrance road. mar1903_rr1.jpg

Stefanowicz: the trucks may be part of a heavy machinegun section, motar section or admin / supply, difficult to tell. Note that the road is not yet paved with brick and the stone monolith that carried the title " Manteuffel Kaserne " is not completed, it can be seen with scaffolds and banners in the background. mar903man11.jpg
