USASA Field Station Augsburg

United States Army Security Agency (USASA) Field Station Augsburg was the site of a Wullenweber AN/FLR-9 (V8) radio direction finder, established during the Cold War.

It was one of nearly 20 field stations positioned strategically around the world by the U.S. Armed Forces during the Cold War.

Field Station Augsburg opened in 1970[1] and closed in 1998, at which time it was turned over to the German government.

[1] The Station's mission was to monitor the communications of Cold War enemy nations, their allies, and client states around the world.

[2][3] A Company of the 204th Military Intelligence Battalion was assigned to nearby Augsburg in 1991 until U.S. operations at the station ultimately ceased in 1998.
