Description
The Border Mission 1972-1973
BG (Ret) Mike O'Connell:
"When I took command of the squadron, we were still part of VII Corps and attached to the 2nd ACR. The mission was conducted out of both Wollbach and Coburg and we were responsible for a very long run of border. This was a difficult task, the mission was done with a reinforced platoon at each camp and the balance of the troop remaining at Daley. I had seen the border earlier in my career and new what to expect from the East Germans ... they constantly worked to improve the barriers and stood guard vigilantly.
