United States Army Security Agency Field Station Augsburg was the site of a Wullenweber AN/FLR-9 radio direction finder, established during the Cold War. Field Station Augsburg was located on Gablingen Kaserne, near the village of Gablingen just north of Augsburg in Bavaria, West Germany. It was one of nearly 20 field stations positioned strategically around the world by the U.S. Armed Forces during the Cold War. Field Station Augsburg opened in 1970 and closed in 1998, at which time it was turned over to the German government.
The Station was owned and managed by the National Security Agency and manned by the U.S. Army Security Agency , which later became U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, in conjunction with other branches of the U.S. Military and various allied forces. Personnel assigned to Field Station Augsburg were composed of individuals who scored high enough on the Army entrance exams to be classified as "ST" or a skilled technician, which is the Army's top-ranked job category. The Station was manned 24 hours a day, by means of rotating shifts. There was a saying in the 1970s that if the intelligence units were able to effectively do their job, the combat units wouldn't have to do theirs. The Station's mission was to monitor the communications of Cold War enemy nations, their allies, and client states around the world. The information gathered was time-sensitive and, based on its importance and classification, that information was collected, analyzed and passed through intelligence channels on a "real-time" basis.
