Pershing is back!

[Proud Kraut]

Well, at least the Pershing patch! Just wanted to let you know that 56th Artillery Command was reactivated again in Mainz-Kastel, Germany today. The unit was active during cold war from 1968 until 1991 and was well known as the Theater´s Pershing Missile HQ.

Referring to the US Army Europe & Africa site and for obvious reasons the 56th Arty Cmd patch is worn w/o the PERSHING tab today.
