TUSLOG Det 30

TUSLOG Detachment 30 (The United States Logistics Group, Det 30) was a United States Air Force unit stationed at Karamürsel Air Station near Istanbul, Turkey, during the Cold War. Established in the 1950s, Det 30 played a critical role in signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic surveillance, monitoring Soviet and Warsaw Pact communications across the Black Sea region. The unit supported broader NATO intelligence efforts and provided vital information to U.S. and allied commanders throughout its tenure. TUSLOG Det 30 remained operational until the late 1970s, when changing political conditions and advancements in technology led to its deactivation.
