Det 7, 1141st USAFSAS

Detachment 7, 1141st United States Army Field Station Augsburg (USAFSAS), was part of the broader U.S. Army intelligence efforts during the Cold War. Stationed in Augsburg, West Germany, Det 7 specialized in signals intelligence (SIGINT), intercepting and analyzing communications from Warsaw Pact nations. The unit contributed critical intelligence that supported NATO operations and helped maintain situational awareness along the Iron Curtain. Its mission and operations remained classified, but Det 7 personnel played a significant role in the U.S. Army’s electronic surveillance and intelligence-gathering capabilities in Europe until the end of the Cold War.
