Perhaps 81st artillery?

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 09:05 am Yes exactly @nyc. Seems like it might be these folks: Quote: The 1st Missile Battalion, 81st Artillery was formed at Fort Sill in 1963 and deployed to McCully Barracks in Wackernheim, West Germany under the 56th Field Artillery Group. The battalion moved to Wiley Barracks, Neu-Ulm in 1968 and was redesignated the 1st Battalion, 81st Field Artillery Regiment effective 1 September 1971. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/81st_...ery_Regiment "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
