10th USA Artillery Detachment

The 10th USA Artillery Detachment was a United States Army unit activated during the Cold War to support NATO operations in Europe. Stationed primarily in West Germany, the detachment was responsible for the custody, maintenance, and operational readiness of nuclear warheads assigned to allied artillery units, particularly in support of Belgian forces. Throughout its service, the 10th worked closely with host-nation militaries to ensure the secure and effective deployment of nuclear-capable artillery systems as part of the broader deterrence strategy against the Warsaw Pact. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of post-Cold War arms reductions and changes in NATO's nuclear posture.
