The two elite units have been facing each other over the decades and will now come together in a mighty clash. It is fitting that 2nd Squadron, the last element of the Regiment to leave Vietnam after five and a half years of service, is the first US unit to be engaged by the Soviet advance in WWIII. The camp had been warned only minutes before but many of the squadrons vehicles were already moving towards Rödelmaier. The guns errupted into life as the lead elements drove through Wülfershausen and turned towards Bad Neustadt and the waiting 11th ACR.Ģnd Squadron, 11th ACR, stationed at Camp Lee, outside Bad Neustadt, is hammered by 122/152mm artillery fire. Targeting both Camp Lee and the approaches to Bad Neustadt and Rödelmaier. There was no NATO interference with the approach to the border.Īs the 17th Guards Tank Regiment entered Saal an der Saale they gave the prearranged order for the artillery batteries of 8th Guards Army to fire. The entire time they were in road march formation. When it reached Coburg the lead element, the 17th Guards Tank Regiment, turned southwest on Route 303 and west onto Route 279.
The 79th Guards Tank Division left it's garrison at Suhl and moved southeast on Route 281. The 533rd MI Bn starts scrambling to find out what's up. It seems, the Soviets aren't moving to the east. What to do now?īut wait, the 533rd Military Intelligence (MI) Battalion stationed in the Fulda Gap is getting information that isn't matching up with how events should be unfolding. NATO is on a low alert status and is having to learn to deal with the fact that the Cold War is over. Several smaller units have left their permanent duty stations, earlier during the month, for new locations further east. This announcement was made months in advance. They have alerted both NATO, and the UN, that they are moving two divisions east, in the sector of the 8th Guards Army. The Soviet Union is withdrawing it's forces from the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Location: Near Bad Neustadt, West Germany and Camp Lee. ~ An "Operation Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm" Mission conversion.
