The United States European Command (EUCOM) is one of ten Unified Combatant
Commands of the United States military, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. Its
area of focus covers 21,000,000 square miles (54,000,000 km2) and 51 countries
and territories, including Europe, Russia, Iceland, Greenland, and Israel. The
Commander of EUCOM simultaneously serves as the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe
(SACEUR) within NATO.

During the Cold War and the Kosovo War, EUCOM was the lead command for potential
operations. During the Gulf War and Operation Northern Watch, EUCOM controlled
the forces flying from Incirlik Air Base.

HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONS

EUCOM was established on 1 August 1952, to provide "unified command and
authority" over all United States forces in Europe. For several years after
World War II, the services had maintained separate commands in Europe that
reported directly to the Joint Chiefs of Staff: Commander-in-Chief, United
States Air Forces in Europe; Commander-in-Chief, United States Naval Forces,
Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean (later became United States Naval Forces,
Europe); and Commander-in-Chief, United States European Command (later became
United States Army, Europe).

America's rapid post-war demobilization, followed by the end of the occupation
of Germany in 1949, led many to question the United States' commitment to defend
Western Europe against the spread of communism. Western nations questioned how
they could provide for the common defense and simultaneously questioned
America's role in such defense. In 1948–1949, the Berlin Blockade motivated
Western Europe and the United States to create a military alliance. In 1949, the
allies established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).


EUCOM headquarters in the IG Farben Building, Frankfurt, 1952

In early 1951, NATO established Allied Command Europe and the Supreme
Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). General Dwight D. Eisenhower was
called from retirement to become the first Supreme Allied Commander Europe
(SACEUR). The United States sent massive reinforcements to Europe designed to
deter the Soviet Union. From 1950 to 1953 United States military personnel in
Europe grew from 120,000 to over 400,000. United States Air Forces in Europe
grew from three groups with 35,000 personnel to eleven wings with 136,000
personnel. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean doubled to more than 40 warships.
United States Army, Europe, grew from one infantry division and three
constabulary regiments to two corps with five divisions (including two mobilized
National Guard divisions) and in November 1950 activated a new field army,
Seventh Army, at Patch Barracks, Stuttgart. The Army activated the 10th Special
Forces Group at Fort Bragg in 1952 and deployed it to Bad Töltz in November 1953
for unconventional warfare missions in the Soviet Bloc countries. To provide for
national command within NATO and to help control this build-up of forces, Gen.
Eisenhower proposed a separate command for all United States forces in Europe.
Because the senior United States commander would continue as Supreme Allied
Commander Europe, Eisenhower recommended giving "a maximum of delegated
authority" to a four-star deputy.

Eisenhower returned to the United States just as the new command was
established. The first United States Commander-in-Chief Europe (USCINCEUR) was
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, former commander of Eighth Army and the Far East
Command during the Korean War. His deputy was Gen. Thomas T. Handy, former Army
deputy chief of staff under Gen. George C. Marshall and commander of United
States Army, Europe.

Headquarters EUCOM initially shared the I.G. Farben Building in Frankfurt,
Germany, with Headquarters United States Army, Europe. In 1954, the headquarters
moved to Camp des Loges, a French Army base west of Paris and a short distance
from SHAPE. There, EUCOM prepared plans for the defense of Western Europe within
the NATO framework against the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. EUCOM used the
Military Assistance Program to help its NATO partners build their military
capabilities, including after 1955 the German Bundeswehr. In 1955, EUCOM
established a Support Operations Command Europe, soon renamed Support Operations
Task Force Europe (later became Special Operations, Europe) for special
operations missions. EUCOM also assumed responsibility for command and control
of American nuclear forces. In 1961, EUCOM began operating an airborne command
post, Operation Silk Purse.

Civil war broke out in Lebanon in 1958 due to mounting religious and political
conflicts (see "1958 Lebanon crisis"). EUCOM conducted a major contingency
operation, Operation Blue Bat, in response to Lebanon's request to restore
stability within the government.

In 1966, disagreements within NATO over involvement in the Vietnam War prompted
France to demand the removal of all US and NATO headquarters and forces from
French soil. The following year, SHAPE moved to Mons, Belgium, while
Headquarters EUCOM moved to Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany. Headquarters
Seventh Army moved to Heidelberg, where it merged with Headquarters United
States Army, Europe. At Patch Barracks, EUCOM renovated the buildings, built a
new operations center, modernized communications infrastructure and improved the
airfield.

EUCOM continued to prepare for the defense of Europe and began a series of
annual REFORGER (Return of Forces to Europe) exercises in 1967. Cold War crises
continued, including the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. But,
because of the Vietnam War, the number of the American forces in Europe slowly
declined. Troop strength in Europe fell to 265,000 by 1970.

During the 1970s, force protection concerns in Europe increased as terrorist
groups, such as the Red Army Faction and the Red Brigades, targeted American
facilities and personnel with bombings, kidnapping and assassinations.
Palestinian terrorist organizations conducted terror operations in Europe, such
as the kidnapping of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

EUCOM and its components continued to provide military assistance throughout
Europe, as well as humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, noncombatant
evacuation, support to peacekeeping operations, and other non-traditional
missions in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. For example, after the Congo
became independent in 1960, EUCOM joined in several multinational operations in
that country, including peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and noncombatant
evacuation in 1960, 1964, 1967 and again in 1978. In the Middle East, EUCOM
provided military assistance to Israel as well as noncombatant evacuation of
American citizens in 1967, 1973, and 1982–1984.

In the late 1970s, the Soviet Union deployed SS-20 intermediate-range ballistic
missiles into Eastern Europe and in 1979 invaded Afghanistan. NATO responded
with a "two-track" decision to step up negotiations while deploying American
intermediate-range Pershing II missiles and ground-launched cruise missiles to
counter Soviet actions.


US Army units in West Germany, 1987

During the 1980s, American forces in Europe increased to over 350,000. EUCOM
established Fleet Marine Force Europe (later MARFOREUR) in 1980. The Unified
Command Plan (UCP) was changed in 1983 to transfer responsibility for the Middle
East from EUCOM to a new combatant command, U.S. Central Command, but EUCOM
retained responsibility for Israel, Lebanon and Syria. At the same time, EUCOM
was formally assigned responsibility for Africa south of the Sahara.

The Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, together with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Gen. Colin L. Powell, who served from 1989 to 1993, further strengthened
the role of combatant commanders. Goldwater-Nichols also established United
States Special Operations Command, which led to the activation of a new
sub-unified command, Special Operations Command, Europe.

During the 1980s, negotiations continued with the Soviet Union on strategic and
theater-level arms limitation. In 1987, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces
(INF) Treaty called an end to the deployment of SS-20s, Pershing IIs and GLCMs.
In 1990, NATO and Warsaw Pact members signed a treaty on conventional armed
forces in Europe (CFE).

In 1989, the Soviet Union and other Soviet Bloc countries in Eastern Europe
collapsed and the Cold War came to an end. The citizens of a reunified Berlin
tore down the Berlin Wall on 6 November 1989. As a sign of reduced tensions, in
1991 EUCOM took its airborne command post off alert. Meanwhile in 1991, EUCOM
and its components provided forces to CENTCOM for Operation Desert Storm.

EUCOM supports programs in former Soviet Bloc countries such as the Joint
Contract Team Program, NATO Partnership for Peace and the National Guard Bureau
State Partnership Program. It was also active in operations in the Balkans,
including Bosnia, Macedonia and Kosovo. During this time, EUCOM's assigned
forces were lowered below 120,000.

Since 1990, EUCOM has hosted or co-hosted the annual International Military
Chiefs of Chaplains Conference, the only one of its kind in the world, working
to foster cooperation among religious leaders and understanding of religion as
both a force for war and a force for peace.

Immediately after the terrorist attacks against New York and Washington, D.C.,
on 11 September 2001, NATO invoked Article V of the treaty and deployed NATO
early warning aircraft to help monitor the skies over North America. EUCOM
provided major forces for subsequent operations in Afghanistan and stepped up
its efforts to protect United States interests in Europe and Africa. Subsequent
terrorist attacks in the EUCOM theater in Casablanca, Madrid, London and Algiers
prompted EUCOM to launch Operation Enduring Freedom Trans-Sahara in 2007 while
continuing to provide rotational forces to Afghanistan and Iraq.

In 2003, the headquarters reorganized to establish the EUCOM Plans and
Operations Center (EPOC). From 2006 to 2008, EUCOM helped stand-up a new
geographic unified combatant command, United States Africa Command (AFRICOM),
which took over responsibility for Department of Defense activities in Africa on
1 October 2008.

COMPOSITION

The main service component commands of EUCOM are the U.S. Seventh Army, U.S.
Sixth Fleet and Third Air Force.

The Seventh Army is based in Germany. It controls one corps, parenting four
combat and one aviation brigade. Previously it had two divisions, although for
almost all of the Cold War it controlled two corps of two divisions each.

The Sixth Fleet provides ships to NATO Joint Force Command Naples' Operation
Active Endeavour, deterring threats to shipping in the Straits of Gibraltar and
the remainder of the Mediterranean. Joint Task Force Aztec Silence, a special
operations force established under the command of Commander, Sixth Fleet, has
been involved in fighting Operation Enduring Freedom - Trans Sahara. It also has
a growing role around the shores of West and East Africa, under the direction of
United States Africa Command. It previously had a significant Mediterranean
presence function against the Soviet Navy's Fifth Squadron (Mediterranean
Squadron), and for most of the Cold War was the most powerful maritime striking
force along NATO's southern flank.

The HQ Air Command Europe, the Wing-support command, and the Third Air Force,
USAFE's Warfighting Headquarters, both based at Ramstein Air Base in Germany
form U.S. Air Forces Europe (USAFE). They are now much reduced from their high
Cold War strength and provide a pool of airpower closer to many trouble spots
than aircraft flying from the United States.

A subordinate unified command of EUCOM is SOCEUR (Special Operations Command
Europe), headquartered at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany. The
commander of SOCEUR is Major General Michael S. Repass. Special forces units
within the AOR include the 352nd Special Operations Group of the USAF, based at
RAF Mildenhall in the UK, a U.S. Navy SEALs unit, and Naval Special Warfare Unit
2 and 1st BN, 10th Special Forces Group located in Germany.

EUCOM is also headquartered at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany.
The Iceland Defense Force also formed part of EUCOM from 2002 to 2006, when it
was transferred from Joint Forces Command in the October 2002 Unified Command
Plan change.[2]

The Kaiserslautern Military Community is the largest U.S. community outside of
the U.S., while the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is the largest U.S.
military hospital overseas, treating wounded Soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Previously, this position held the title "Commander-in-Chief (CINC), United
States European Command". However, following an order dated 24 October 2002 by
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, all CINCs in the United States military
