U S Forces Withdraw Extra Battalion From Berlin
The U S Army announced the withdrawal of the extra infantry battalion stationed in West Berlin since 1961. The unit will return to its home in West Germany in January as part of a broader reorganization. About 700 soldiers remain across three other Berlin brigade battalions, plus support troops, with total forces around 6,000. This move does not alter U S Berlin commitments, and provisions to reinforce quickly remain in place if needed.
