HHC 4:18th Berlin Germany

Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment (HHC 4/18th), was stationed in Berlin, Germany, during the Cold War as part of the U.S. Army Berlin Brigade. The unit played a critical role in maintaining American presence and readiness in the divided city, serving as a deterrent against potential Soviet aggression. HHC 4/18th provided command, control, and administrative support for the battalion, whose missions included urban defense, patrols, and ceremonial duties at key Berlin landmarks. The unit remained active in Berlin until the early 1990s, withdrawing as part of the broader reduction of U.S. forces following German reunification and the end of the Cold War.
