C Battery 32 ADCOM

C Battery, 32nd Army Air Defense Command (ADCOM), was a unit within the United States Army dedicated to air defense operations during the Cold War. Stationed in Europe, primarily in Germany, the unit was equipped with surface-to-air missile systems such as the Nike Hercules, designed to protect NATO airspace from potential Soviet air attacks. C Battery played a vital role in the integrated air defense network, maintaining high readiness and participating in regular training exercises alongside allied forces. The unit remained active until the restructuring and eventual deactivation of many ADCOM units as the Cold War ended and air defense priorities shifted.
