I was there in Kitzingen, 77-79, wearing the patch of the Marne. Really great times!

Yep, I was with the 5th Corps Air Support Operations Center in Frankfurt 1986-90.

We supported the Air Liaison Officers (ALOs) in the 3rd AD in Frankfurt, 8th ID in Bad Kreuznach, and the 11th ACR in Fulda (as I remember it).

We never had much direct dealings with the TACPs down at the brigade level. During deployments we always co-located with the Corps artillery guys, Fire Support Element I believe.

That was a good tour.

I spent a little time at Grafenwohr during my Army stent.
