35th US Artillery Attachment Team C

The 35th US Artillery Attachment Team C was a specialized unit assigned to support NATO forces during the Cold War, particularly in Europe. Activated in the 1960s, the team’s primary mission was to coordinate and oversee the deployment and use of US nuclear artillery assets with allied units, often working closely with host-nation forces such as the German Bundeswehr. Team C played a critical role in ensuring the security, maintenance, and operational readiness of nuclear warheads allocated for dual-key artillery systems. Throughout its service, the 35th US Artillery Attachment Team C contributed to the deterrence posture of NATO until the gradual drawdown of forward-deployed nuclear weapons in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
