HHC SETAF

Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Southern European Task Force (HHC SETAF) was activated in 1955 in Italy as part of the United States Army Europe, tasked with coordinating American military operations in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. Originally responsible for logistical support and regional defense, HHC SETAF played a significant role during the Cold War, supporting NATO operations and strengthening alliances with Southern European nations. Over the years, the unit adapted to new missions, including peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and crisis response operations in Africa and the Balkans. Today, HHC SETAF continues to serve as a vital command and control element, supporting U.S. Army Africa and promoting stability in the region.
