HHC Special Troops, BERLIN BRIGADE

Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Special Troops, Berlin Brigade (HHC Special Troops) was a vital component of the U.S. Army Berlin Brigade during the Cold War. Activated in post-World War II Berlin, the unit provided essential command, control, and administrative support to the brigade’s specialized elements, including military police, signal, and intelligence units. HHC Special Troops played a key role in maintaining readiness, discipline, and operational effectiveness amidst the geopolitical tensions of a divided city. The unit remained active until the brigade’s deactivation in 1994, following the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany.
