D BTRY 3D BN 84TG ARY USAREUR

**D Battery, 3rd Battalion, 84th Field Artillery (Target Acquisition), United States Army Europe (USAREUR),** was an integral component of NATO’s Cold War defensive posture in Europe. Activated during the height of East-West tensions, the unit was responsible for advanced target acquisition, surveillance, and counter-battery radar operations, supporting US and allied artillery forces. Stationed primarily in West Germany, D Battery played a critical role in detecting and tracking potential Warsaw Pact artillery threats along the inner-German border. The unit contributed to readiness exercises and real-world alert missions until the post-Cold War drawdown led to its deactivation or reorganization in the early 1990s.
