RPC Schweinfurt

**RPC Schweinfurt** was a United States Army unit based in Schweinfurt, Germany, primarily during the Cold War era. The abbreviation "RPC" commonly stood for "Replacement Processing Center," serving as a crucial hub for the reception, processing, and onward assignment of personnel arriving in Germany. Positioned in a city known for its industrial significance, RPC Schweinfurt played a key role in supporting the logistical and administrative needs of U.S. forces in Europe. The unit contributed to the readiness and effectiveness of American military operations until its closure, which coincided with the broader drawdown of U.S. forces in Germany after the end of the Cold War.
