3rd Missle 21st Artty. Germany

The 3rd Missile Battalion, 21st Artillery (3rd Missile, 21st Arty), was a U.S. Army unit stationed in Germany during the Cold War. Activated in the late 1950s, the battalion was equipped with tactical nuclear-capable missile systems, including the Honest John and later the Sergeant missile. Its mission was to provide theater-level fire support and deterrence as part of NATO’s forward-deployed forces. The battalion played a critical role in reinforcing the U.S. commitment to European defense until its deactivation in the early 1970s as missile technology and force structures evolved.
