USAREUR:7 Army

The United States Army Europe and Seventh Army (USAREUR/7th Army) has been a cornerstone of American military presence on the European continent since its activation during World War II. Formed in 1944, the Seventh Army played a crucial role in the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany. After the war, USAREUR was established in 1952 to oversee U.S. Army operations in Europe, and it later merged with the Seventh Army headquarters. Throughout the Cold War and into the 21st century, USAREUR/7th Army has provided deterrence, security cooperation, and rapid response capabilities across Europe, adapting to new challenges such as NATO operations and emerging security threats. Its headquarters is currently located in Wiesbaden, Germany.
