| USFA has announced that a plan is underway to consolidate and reorganize units in the US Zone of Austria. Objective of the plan initiated over a year ago is to achieve maximum operational efficiency and full utilization of available manpower. The first phase has already begun with the recent moves of certain technical USFA staff sections from Vienna (to Salzburg and Linz?). Upcoming major changes will include the elimination of Land Salzburg Area Command and Land Upper Austria Area Command. Hq Zone Command, Austria will retain its present status as the major operational headquarters in the zone and also absorb the present functions of the two area commands being eliminated. Hq Zone Comd will move (from its headquarters building on the Mozartplatz) to Camp Truscott. 350th Inf Regt, Hq & Hq Co will move to Camp McCauley and become the operating headquarters of Land Upper Austria. |

Webmaster note: An article that appeared in the April 25, 1949 issue of S&S still mentions the Land Upper Austria Area Command (LUAC). |
