| I was with Company
B, 12th Ord. Bn. from
Jan 1955 to Sep 1957. The 9th Ord Bn and 12th Ord Bn traded places
in about June 1955. The 12th went to Pirmasens and the 9th came to
Neckarsulm/Siegelsbach. The 9th Ord Bn was weapons and ordnance maintenance
and care. The 12th Ord Bn was a Special Weapons Detachment. When we
got to the cave at Massweiler, that is when our job really began.
We even had to check for radiation on people and on equipment. We
built warheads. I have located about 280 of our guys who are alive and about 60 deceased from the original 12th Ord Bn. I have guys who were with the unit from the beginning in 1954 at Sandia to Holloman AFB, NM. Most of those guys did not go to Germany because they did not have enough time left for an overseas tour. I have continued to look for guys who were with the unit through the end of 1959. I do have a couple of guys who came into the unit in 1960 that wanted to hang with the old guys. We have had two reunions and will have a third in May 2004 in Branson, MO. We hold the reunion for everyone in the unit. Hq Co. A Co., and B Co. I have a roster of guys. |
