I love my country and want to let the brave men and women that have served, are serving, plan to enter any branch of armed forces or especially those who gave their life for our freedom. That you are loved, your great sacrifices are not in vain. While I openly admit to no confidence in government officials, this is not about them. I do place my life and freedom in your capable hands. I do trust you. With my most earnest love and gratitude. Sincerely, Miss Cathy Kirkland Wilmington,N.C.(formerly) kn_cathykirkland@webtv.net

Hello,
I´m 27 years old and I´m looking for my grandfather. I don´t have much informations about him, but I know that he was an US-soldier, and he was in Fulda 1946, because my dad was bborn in 1947. My grandmother doesn´t speak about him, I don´t know why. Her name was Auguste (Gutti, Gusti) Schiebener, and she was also from Fulda. One day she told me, the name of my grandfather was "Bob Shortstuff" and he died by an excident near Munich. But I don´t know,..., is that really the truth? Maybe someone knows "Bob" and can tell me when and where he was born, and when and where he died. Maybe someone has a picture, or has an idea, where I can search for him. I hope you will help me. Best wishes, André

After six months as a civilian I re-enlisted and served five years in Africa as Military Police moved on to Intelligence where I served in the Embassy system in Athens, Paris and Bagdad. Returned to the states where I served on the General Staff in the G2 section.
After these many years the most outstanding thing I can remember is the five day hundred mile hike we made. I am now retired and miss the old days.

Hello Irene!
Finally, after several tries, I got and copied the book "Headquarters US Constabularies,the establishment and operation of the US-Constabularies 1946-1952" (origin of the Heidelberg us military library)and sent for me to Wiesbaden Airbase. Both women, Mrs.D and Mrs Mary... from Heidelberg and Wiesbaden were very nice in supporting me. I´ll donate to both a small chocolate present.To get in to the base was not so easy, real good check up, although I´m not from Far East. The copies I will sort out and I´ll sent it to you as soon I have the time. You know about my hard weekends organising at present, because of my mother...05.05.07.
This bookcopy I find is rare, so I believe it would be good for our constabulary museum or/and our historien to draw information for our monthly lightning bolt.
The photos of US-Constabularies, I told you about, will follow this year, hope in autum.
Take care! Have all a nice fathers day.

I have always be interested in the mission and history of the U.S. Constabulary. My uncle was a MP with the 1st Inf. Div. during that period (early 50's). I worked with the Phillipino Constabulary in the mid to late '80's. I severed in the U.S. Army as Infantryman, Military Policeman and Special Forces Trooper for +22 years. My father also served as a Tanker (Armored Troop) with the 7th Inf. Div. in Korea 1954, with a Constabulary type mission securing and safe guarding the railhead in Seoul.

Any one out there remember me?
We left Brooklyn N.Y aboard the USS Boise bound for LeHavre France around November 1945. We had 8 men washed overboard and never recovered them in as much as they were missing the day after we left New York, the first night on the Alantic. We arrived in Plymouth England on Thanksgiving Day and we wer not allowed to go on land. We left for Le Havre France and arrived the next day. We were camped at Camp Pall Mall and after several days we boarded the 40x8s (Left over freight cars from World War 1.. After several days on these box cars we arrived at a little know town called Laubasechbach. Wow that's as bad as my last name. We were billetted in a dentist's house and then aboard some trucks we headed and stayed in Marburg, in what had previously been a mental hospital and I believe became the third repple depple hospital.

Several days there and then it was on to our most permanent location and the name of this little fairy tale town, Fronhausen/Lahn.
We were billetted in private houses and operated under our new name 17th Cavalry reconnasens Squadron, Troop C, 3rd platoon. We were called the District Constabulary. I remember a Lt. Kristenoff and and old lifetime career 1st Seargent Gecsey. Did not know it at the time but there were soldiers that had come out of U.S.Army stockades that were sent over seas to do good time. Wow what a bunch of guys to put little old me in with. We were told to do a lot of patrols, so the Germans would know that we did not abandon them to the Russians. Like we could have held them off if a war with them had broken out. Several months later I enrolled in a signal school in Sechenheim Germany. Learned Morse Code and learned how to fend off the Russian Radio Jammers. Went back to my troop then after several weeks, and did a small stint as a Courier for the CIC and CID. This did not last long and several months, I can't remember, how long we and the whole 17th were moved to a town near Bad Nauheim. I know we spent many Saturday Nights at the dances at the Stadt Hallin Heidelberg. Some time in October of 1946 we were shipped home to the good old USA
We left from Bremerhaven aboard the General CC Ballou. A real down to earth Liberty ship. I was discharged shortly after being processed at Camp Kilmer N.J.

So if you know me drop me a line.

Thomas, we made it to OP7 USCON reunion in TX and we had such a great time. The one who put the reunion together did a great job. I met many new troopers and their lovely wives. I am proud to be their web editor and wish I could attend all the reunions. Dad would have loved being with us if he was still here!! I feel as though they are my family too. I sent you e-mail with update on French Settlement. Best to you, Irene

I spent 18 months in Fulda from Dec. 54 June 56 and had the best job in the area. I was in charge of the telephone exchange and the switchboard and tty and never went out in the field. I always felt sorry for those fellows who went out in all weather in jeeps to patrol the border. I got back for a visit in 1976 with my family and even got a chance to visit the border OP and watch tower. By then the kaserne was getting run down. I visited the CO of the Hqtrs. Troop and recall seeing an unpatched hole in his office wall. The day we went out to the border we passed two tanks and some other vehicles that had broken down enroute to the OP when they rotated in a fresh platoon.

I was very impressed with the E.German border and watch towers. It's what we need now on our sothern border.

A few days ago I did a net search for the Oberbayern and was happy to see that it was still going on altho it looked as tho they had moved from their 1954 location. Lots of great recollections while reading these pages.

Hello Irene!

Heaviest battle WW I in World. Americans where there too, but no sign of US-Cavalry.
Over miles still all bomb/ grenade crater are to be seen. Hardly any heavy vegetation, thin trees, gras. The memory is well taken care of.
I talked to some elderly people. They said, that Verdun battle was more worse then parts of the WW II. The fight itself, man to men, no shelter against Grenades, no food and water and always wet in mud for 4 years.
If some troopers visit France, WW II places at coastline, that Verdun you should not miss.
All rememberplaces, f. i., the grave of the famous unknown 6 soldiers standing, sleeping with their Guns under sand, churches and memorials are in very perfect and clean condition.

His CO was a CPT MacDonough, not sure about the spelling, but the captain was a graduate of Ohio State and a big fellow.

We first lived in a house on Leopold Strasse, not too sure about the name, then moved to mixed senior NCO/junior officer apartments at the foot of the hill where Landshut's castle sits. Our neighbors included a Japanese-American family from Hawai'i who had a Samoyed named Snowball, and a 1SGT Johnson lived across the hall from us.

I do not have e-mail, although my son will forward any responses to me.

Look forward to hear from fellow veterans.

I recently heard from Donald Kjos in Texas about Henry Kosinski (alias Sad-Sack). He was a DP with "C" Troop / 68th Constabulary Squad. in Budengen, Germany. (1946)

Does anyone out there remember him? Do you know where he might live? Am I remembering/spelling his name correctly?

I was told that he immigrated to the US in 1951 to somewhere in New York state.

If you can help me with any info I would love to know about him...especially after 60 years!

I enjoy reading all the stories about the U.S. Constabulary. Would anyone remember my father, Archie A. Holley? Dad was recruited from either Lauderdale County, AL or Lawrence County, TN in 1945. By his account he was in Germany by 1946. He once told me he was with the 22nd Constabulary. I think he meant the 22nd Squadron. Dad said that after he was recruited he was sent to Fort "orothort". I believe he may have meant Fort Oglethorpe in northern Georgia. Can anyone help me "connect the dots" to Dad's military service?

Hello former Rothwesten Constabulary troopers, near Kassel Germany.
The base Fritz Erler Kaserne in Rothwesten near Kassel is farely closed down. Last week the flags were taken down. The soldiers will have to find a new base. Only 60 Soldiers will remain for some admin. tasks.
The future of the very historic base and the currency galery is open, the birth place of the Westgerman Deutsche Mark.
What will happen with the beautiful winggirl at the entrance? The old wallpaintings, the casino with led windows? Perhaps a rich American can buy it before some Holigans or Antiwar freaks, others, tare it down??
The remaining tanks (Roland)HOT will be dismantled instead of being sold. "We Germans are so rich"!!
Hope they won´t destroy the historic tanks which are standing in the base (chain/wheels and 4-Flak.

Take care. Happy New Year to all Troopers.

Memories of old. Marburg, Coburg, Friedberg, Bad Hersfeld, the 50's, The old tank with the two laterals, pull on one and turn right, pull the other turn left, what was that the M26 before the M47, can't remember the numbers, but I can remember the sap from the trees that glued my eyes closed after a nights sleep in the sleeping bag, or the cold steel from the tank if I slept inside the tank, The good old days when I could fit down the hatch at 152 lbs, today 300 lbs, wouldn't go thru the hole. I remember the day when I reenlisted for 6 yrs and became rich overnight when I was paid a whopping I believe it was $360.00 bonus just to see it all disappear before my eyes on the ship as I tossed the dice on the bunks every day on my way home for a 30 day reenlistment leave. And the day that I flew recon over the plowed strip with a Lt who asked me if I wanted to fly with him that day. While we were up there he said you see over there, those are Russian machine gun nests, they could shoot us down if we get to far over this plowed ground. A little scary. Good old days, bring back any memories to anyone. And the good old days of the rank freeze when I did the job of Sgt and got paid Cpls pay. I believe my worst memory was the RIFF program where the Army turned our Battalion Exec Officer from a Major to and SFC. Oh no, that wasnn't it, the worst is when I sat in the dentist chair in a 2 1/2 ton truck for 3 hours while a Corporal and a Lt tried to remove a wisdom tooth.

Hi, I was surprised to find this web site. I have "fond" memories of the C troops as a little kid (4 yrs. old), on the "other side." You guys gave me my first introduction to chewing gum and Hershey bars! We were deported by the Germans as forced laborers to Regensburg in late 1944, but that place was destroyed before we got there, so they placed us in a small town (Graselfing) a few miles from Landshut, into a labor camp. After liberation, we had to stay there as there was no transportation available. The C troop and the local farmers were our only sustenance for three years until we got into an IRO camp and eventually emmigrated to the US. Anyone who has information on the Graselfing camp, please speak up and let me in on it. I have many isolated memories, but someone older at the time would have a better insight. I visited the place in 1981, while I worked as a petroleum engineer for Chevron in Europe, but everything about the camp had already been removed, and it was only a large potato field. A few of the old folk in the village remembered the camp but were "embarrased" to talk about it at any length ... other than Ja, it was there, and we got rid of it ... danke shoen!

In early 1947 I was sent to Germany, shortly after arriving, I became a member of the Constabulary. First in Fulda, then to Wetzlar and finally to Augsburg.
While in Wetzlar I was given demolition training and cavalry training. I finished my enlistment as a trooper in the 68th(?) in Augsburg.
I was discharged in 1948. I do not remember all the units that I was in, but I do remember being in Wetzlar while Rita Hayworth made a visit.
I also remember that at one time my Platoon leader was George S. Patton the son of General George S. Patton. Names I remember are Capt. Munson; Lt. Oliver D. Street; Sgt.

”The U. S. Constabulary is ready in Germany,” the ”New York, Times reports to the American public.
-In a special August article and picture spread,” the N. Y. Times hails the United States Constabulary. As the troops who Would Be First to Meet Any Invasion: of American Zone in Germany,” presenting on the spot photos of Constabulary equipment and operations over here.
For Constabulary personal who are Interested In knowing what newspapers back home are saying
About us, the Bolt presents this second’ to a series of articles on Constab currently appearing In Stateside newspapers.


Labeling the Constabulary” as the Force. Well-trained' to meet any. Attacks from the East,” New ‘York Times

reports to nationwide readers: “The highly mobile, well trained United States Constabulary would be, the first

military group to meet any invasion ‘of ‘the United States zone.

“This force Is understood to be composed of approximately 20,000, to 25000,men strung, along ’the frontier

from Kassel to Salzburg. The Constabulary is armed with medium (and, possibly of late, I with heavy) tanks but

appears to rely mainly on fast armored cars. “The group originally was formed: In 1945 as a force to “police”


Germany and that was Its principal task for the first two years. “Gradually, however, the West ‘Germans took

over their own policing activities.

During the same period friction with the Communists increased and the Constabulary became the United

States’ “shock” force in West Germany. Actually, along with the First Division, It is the only real, combat”

force. in the United-States zone’. “From the’ beginning, great emphasis on morale has been used on these

troops. The troopers are permitted to wear, special articles of “uniform, notably golden scarves “and yellow

striped’ helmets. The helmet decoration earned the troopers the name of “potato bug” among the West

Germans. “Along, with those morale. Building” privileges the troopers have received a continuous dose of very

tough training. In maneuvers,. For instance, they are usually the attacking forces.


“ While the Constabulary, always has tried to get as many professionals as possible the percentage. Of combat

veterans is only slightly higher than in an average division. The Constabulary’s equipment Is the best available

here, although much it Is well worn. “Recently one of the top Army officials here Insisted that the Constabulary

and the First Division ‘could “take care”, of the East German People's Police should it attack, and “quickly push

them back ‘out.” The same official conceded that if the Russians attacked the United States forces here could

Not do much against them.”

U.S. Constabulary
The Beginning
A beginning had already been made in September, when G-2, USFET, recommended creating security forces for each military district (and Berlin and Bremen) to be composed of MPs, CIC detachments, and district constabularies. The district constabularies would be mechanized cavalry groups taken from the tactical units, given special instruction in military government laws and ordinances, trained in conducting raids and searches, and employed as quick, mobile security reserves. G-2 also proposed a distinctive uniform, but G-4 could not supply any special items of dress; and when the districts activated their constabularies in November, the only distinguishing marks were the letters "DC" painted in yellow on the front of the helmet liners.77
From the idea of the district constabularies, USFET in the fall of 1945 evolved the concept of the United States Constabulary, a self-sufficient security force for the whole zone. Calculating on the basis of one constable (plus signals, supply, and air reconnaissance) for 450 Germans, Eisenhower informed the War Department that a constabulary of 38,000 men would be enough to establish police-type control by 1 July 1946, assuming that by then the surplus property, DP, and prisoner of war burdens would have been substantially eliminated. The estimated savings in the Occupational Troop Basis would amount to 81,000 spaces, since the supporting tactical troops could be reduced to three divisions and one army headquarters.78
The organizational plans, completed at the turn of the year, provided for a Headquarters, US Constabulary, comparable to a corps headquarters; three brigade headquarters, one for each Land capital; nine regimental headquarters, one for each Regierungsbezirk; and twenty-seven squadrons, located so as to cover one or more Kreise.79 Each squadron would have three mechanized and two motorized troops (thirteen men to the troop) equipped with M5 armored cars mounting 37-mm. cannons (the mechanized troops only), quarter- and half-ton trucks, .30-caliber light machine guns, Thompson submachine guns, rifles, pistols, and code and voice radios. The US Constabulary was to be an elite force of handpicked men, distinguishable from the other troops by their highly polished paratroop boots, service coats in place of the standard Eisenhower jacket, gold silk scarves, Sam Browne belts, and lacquered helmet liners circled with a half-inch blue stripe flanked by two half-inch yellow stripes and with the constabulary insignia (a gold disc bordered in blue with the letter "C" in blue pierced by a bolt of lightning in red) on the front. 80
As late as mid-February 1946, however, the US Constabulary consisted only of a plan and a headquarters. When Maj. Gen. Ernest N. Harmon was appointed commanding general on 10 January, he was for a time the sole member of the constabulary. By mid-February, he had selected a headquarters staff; on the 16th, a constabulary school opened in the former Adolf Hitler Schule at Sonthofen to train members of a cavalry reconnaissance squadron as teachers for the main body of the constabulary yet to be assigned.

I was assigned to the 16th Constabulary Squadron (Separate), Berlin, Germany in January 1947. I was the Orderly Room Clerk for Troop B. When It was removed as a line organization, I was reassigned, along with an officer and about 3 sergeants, to Troop E. All of the tanks and equipment belonging to Troop E had been sent to the American Zone. Within a few weeks, all of the others in Troop E were either rotated back to the States or reassigned to one of the other troops. That left me as the only man in the outfit. I worked as a personnel specialist at Squadron Headquarters. Since I was still the only man in E Troop, I typed up ahead of time all the reports, such as morning reports and payrolls. I was probably the only man in the army that was his own CO, 1st Sgt, etc.

Captain Richard A. Beyer had been my CO at Troop B and had been reassigned to Headquarters. When the Squadron went on manuevers, he became Acting CO for the Squadron. He asked me to be the Sgt Major. I was barely 18, and I thought I was in heaven! First Sergeant Donald Sandstrom was the Personel Sgt/Major, and I also filled in for him sometimes when he was on leave, etc.

If any of the people I worked for and/or with see this, I would appreciate very much hearing from them. I still believe the 16th Constabulary Squadron (Separate) was the finest organization the army ever had.

I didn't even know he was still around. I believe it was sometime in 1951 (when I was a Circle C Cowboy) that I saw him referee a fight between the American GI's and the Germans. He was 99 yrs old when he died. He beat Joe Louis and then Joe knocked him out later. I saw Joe Louis put on a 3 round exibition fight in Michigan City, Indiana when I was about 15 yrs old. A lightning left jab. I remember back then if someone said a person was 99 yrs old I really thought it was old. Not any more. Take care and lets all live to be at least 199.

Hello Constabularies
(and other Units who where on duty with Constabularies in Rothwesten)
This week the German socialist Government decided to cut down german defense power and save mony.
Many bases will be closed down. Also the famous base in Rothwesten (new cityname Fuldatal)where the Deutsche Mark was born in 1948 in the base Rothwesten (house Posen)under support of the US-Army.
If some soldiers want to see it again still working, it should happen in the next two years.I´ll keep you informed about goings on.
I doubt,the German GOvernment will keep the inside of the barracs like it is now, with all the wallpaintings and casinowindow etc.,may be they pull everything down.
If some of you can read german, so go GOOGLE and search for: Standortschliessung bundeswehr.
Possible, you can transfer it in to english.

I was in the 17th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron Mech. when this unit was a District Constabulary unit in the Freidberg and later the Heidelberg area in 1946. After the 17th Cav. broke up in January 1947, I was transfered to the 15th Constabulary Squadron in Schwetzingen, Germany. This 15th Squadron was the orginal 15th then in fall of 1947 the 15th broke up and reactivated in early 1948 in the Weiden area. After the original 15th broke up, I was transfered to the B-Troop, 14th Squadron in September of 47 and then C-Troop, 14th Squadron in January of 48. While in C-Troop, I was stationed at the Constabulary School in Sonthofen as C-14 was the demonstration troop at the school. I then transfered to Hq & Svc. Troop of the 14th in July of 1948 and then went home in August of 48 on the troop ship, Bernard J. Ray. Anyone else who served in these units please contact me as I would love to locate some photo's of us from those days. I also have some to share and maybe you are in one.

Gerry joined me in Coburg German in early 1947 and we were together in Germany until we were reassigned to Fort Dix NJ. She enjoyed Germany and we had been back twice, to relive memories. She suffered a pulmonary problem for 5 years and it finally got the best of her. Our daughters, Jan & Lori, are here and have been a lot of support to this sobbing lover of Gerry's. A lot of the Constabulary Association knew her and know what a super person she was. And I am NOT exaggerating.

Yes Jim, I too had tears in my eyes this

remember fairly vividly the WWII period. My
oldest brother enlisted immediately in the
US Navy, followed by my second oldest bro.
enlisting in the US Army Air Corps, as they

as I was of age,in the Army and eventually
the Constabulary. I still also recall how

this war against "terrorism".

Hello everyone,

I want to give a brief report on the reunion of OP8 at Laughlin. We had over one hundred members attend and we had a grand time.

Our commander, Don Purrington could not attend due to his wife’s, Roslyn’s, surgery and time in recuperation. They both were missed.

Don asked Bob Monasmith, our National Adjutant and member of OP8, to step in and act on his behalf at the reunion. Bob did an exceptional job with the assistance of Neil Aikin. Gene Snowden and his wife Wanda did an outstanding job with the Hospitality room. Bill as always was a great bartender. We had invited Harvey and Pam Harms from OP6 to come to our reunion as they did last year. They accepted and came and they also helped Gene and Wanda set up the Hospitality room. My wife Lala and I helped Bob with the registration as did Neil and Sue Aikin.

Everything ran smoothly and I finally saw Bob smile on the night of the banquet. He was a happy man on that night as everything went smoothly thanks to his all out efforts to see that all went well.

We all had a great time thanks to the cooperation of all that came. I’ll let Bob give the official report but, “Bob, thanks for your leadership and ability to take care of all that needed doing. And I hope that you are sleeping well now.”

Our celebration didn’t end with the end of the reunion. The Harms’ came home with us and we showed them the California highlights. We visited Disneyland, Lake Tahoe, The Ponderosa Ranch, where the TV show “Bonanza” was filmed, we visited San Francisco and Alcatraz Island and Yosemite National Park. And before we left Laughlin, we took them to Las Vegas where we all left the obligatory donation. In all we traveled 2,200 miles together and we were still friends and talking after we took them to the airport in Sacramento on the 28th of April. We had a great time!!!

I am a colonel in the German Army, presently stationed in Ingolstadt. From 1986 to 1988 I was Commander of the Mountain Engineer Battalion 8, stationed in Brannenburg /Degrndorf.
Ten years ago I wrote a historical overview over the garrison and the Karfreitkaserne which has to be updated.
The Karfreitkaserne was used after WW II by the 66th ConstSqdn. I would be more than happy if somebody can provide me photos of the time the 66th ConSqdn was stationed there.
Moreover, in different papers the Karfreitkaserne, as it was called prior to WW II and again after 1956, is mentioned as Fort May, Camp May and May baaracks in US Papers.
What is the correct name and what is the meaning of "May"?
Any information is highly appreciated.

From the beginning, the Constabulary set high standards for itself. The troopers were to be selected from the best soldiers available, and it was desired that all of them be volunteers. They were to be trained as soldiers and policemen. They were to operate in an efficient, alert manner calculated to inspire confidence and respect in all persons they met, whether Germans, Allies, or Americans.
This will never be forgotten because the United States Constabulary was a very Elite Force.

Hi Ernest,

My name is Mary O'Shaughnessy. My father's name was Bob Johnson. He was with the 81st constabulary in the European theatre from September 1945-1949. I know he was an MP connected to the Nuremberg trials. The only thing he ever told me was that he transported Nazi war criminals to trial at Nuremberg. I have lots of pictures of the men in his group.
I even have a group shot withthe flag behind them and lots of their names are on the back s of the pictures. Dad wrote both their real names and their nick names. There is a man in the picture that I believe is a man that as a child I called Uncle Saxi. His given name was Isaac Sachs. He was my fathers best friend when I was growing up and my told me they serve together. I was wondering if you know or can find outif Uncle Saxi is still alive. Dad passed in 1997 and Uncle Saxi didnt come but we hadnt seen him in a few years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am sending th group

Charles, all the OP reunion dates are placed

before they take place. The National Reunion
that just took place in Killeen, TX had it's
dates posted over a year before and in at
least 5 consecutive issues of the Lightning
Bolt as I recall. Haven't you received your
copies and if so don't you read them? In the
latest copy which I just received last week
on page 5 it lists 3 OP's with dates for
2004 and one has a site but dates are TBA.
So Charles,if you have any intention to

just call your OP Commander and ask him. His
number is also in the Bolt. There really is
no excuse for not knowing when our reunions

Greetings to all members and friends of the USCA. We had many good people attend the convention in Killeen. I was happy to meet with many members I first met on the tour of Germany in 1996. We also had many that came to see if I really had horns or two heads and a tail as the many e-mails they received from an unhappy individual were fabricarted and caused confusion and doubt in many minds.
This unhappy individual has been dismissed - ousted from the Association - because of the disruption and unrest he had caused these past two plus years. Since things are not done in the manner he wants, and he has no power to control the situation, the only alternative is to destroy. Do not let that happen to this Association.
I noted in Killeen not to heed the Negative e-mails, but look to the Lightning Bolt to tell the truth. We have an editor with integrity who will only publish the truth.
However, I must now call your attention to message #530 in this Guest Book. He is at it again. This time by invading our website Guest Book. Message #530 is FALSE. As Commander, I never made that statement. Also, if you note the e-mail address appears to be that of the National Recruiter. IT IS NOT. That address has been selected to resemble that of the Recruiter, and is merely a fabrication to mislead. Do NOT believe any NEGATIVE messages in e-mail or on this website. I have been told that even his 'signature' sign-off has been plagiarized. If you care to, you have my blessing to e-mail this individual and tell him to GO...AWAY. And, for all those that pick up these negative accusations, endorse them, and then pass them on as 'fact' - you may also GO AWAY.
For all our Good People, enjoy the reunions, enjoy the Lightning Bolt (your comments are always welcome), and enjoy each other's company and 'War Stories.' That's why this Association was created and what it's all about. Be aware to shun the negative allegations submitted to you.

honored us and our service in the Constabulary.
They made us proud to have served before them.
It was an honor to just sit and talk to them
in their Dining Hall (it will always be a mess
hall to me)and have lunch together.TheSGT.who was our host/guide (Staten) even had the base
museum opened especially for us, which had been closed due to lack of manpower. We sorely miss-

Just think, no more formations, musters, roll calls, briefings, briefbacks, pass in review, and no more patrols. Unless you're scouting Wal-Mart or some other retailer.

Remember those cold German winters, with fog so thick you could move it with the wave of a hand, and how you waddled out to the vehicle because you had on so many layers of clothes on you could hardly walk? Well, those days are gone forever, and the only fog lingers in our mind.

So just kick back, take it easy, enjoy every day, and keep in touch with old friends. These days, for what ever the worth, are really the best ones. And tomorrow, we'll talk about them, if we can get anyone to listen.

I enlisted in the Regular Army in September 1946 and sailed for Germany on the Richardson in March 1947. The replacement depot in Kassel assigned me to U.S. Constabulary training at the 14th Con Regiment in Kitzingen. I have a picture of some of my fellow trainees: Pchola, Kelly, Gallant, Ericson, Demuyuck, Harris and Fulck. Although I went through field artillery basic at Fort Knox, the assigning officer said, "I see you're a high school graduate. We'll change your MOS to clerk-general." Sounds like typical army reasoning. And so upon completion of the 8-week course at Kitzingen, I was assigned as an officers' clerk in headquarters troop, 10th Con Sqdn in Wurzburg. Although I had never touched a typewriter keyboard in my life, the first day on the job I was asked to type up a list of squadron officers, about a couple dozen names. Needless to say, it took about all day of hunt and peck, and many sheets of paper, to produce the list.

In July 1947 the Constabulary was reorganized and I was assigned to the 71st Con Sqdn at Schwabisch Hall near Stuttgart. I became the squadron personnel clerk for A troop. My MOS was changed to clerk typist apparently because that's what the job called for. Although by now I could type with three fingers and a thumb. Still do today but fairly fast. I made sergeant in February 1948. The personnel officer was CWO Ballard. Ranking NCO was T/Sgt William Bennett. Also in the section were: Eric Kolhof, Queens, NY; Gene Simmons, Moses Lake, WA; John Arnett, Moberly, MO; and Carlson, a former merchant marine.

i returned to the States and was discharged in August 1948. When the Korean War broke out, I was recalled to active duty and served at the Boston Army Base for a year with M/Sgt Frank Kut and S/Sgts Joe Wilson and Don Everett. In the early sixties, I met General Harmon when he spoke at a Chamber of Commerce dinner. He was then president of Norwich University. I told him I had been one of his troopers. "That was a great outfit, wsn't it?' he said. And so it was.

And now after that service and more than 41 years of newspaper publishing, my bride of 52 years and I live on a golf course in Florida. Is this a great country or what?

To All Troopers:

I just got off the phone with Irene Moore, our website editor. She apologizes for not having been on the Internet but she had a very good reason.

She has been traveling a lot due to her husband Ronnie's job. They travel all over the U.S. of A. but the main reason is that her computer crashed and she couldn't get to her data.

The computer company eventually restored a lot of her data but it was sent to her in CD's which she hasn't had time to review since she didn't have access to a computer web port while she was traveling. She arrived at her home in French Settlement, Louisiana just last weekend.

She believes a lot of her email data may not be restored and since a lot of you have sent her your stories, that those might be lost. She said that if you want to resend them, that she would welcome them but I suggest we wait until she reviews what she has otherwise she will be flooded with stories that she might still have.

She is still very much interested in telling our stories and you all know how incredibly important she has been to the U.S. Constabulary Association.

The website she has created is second to none. So I say, "Irene, do not worry or apologize, you have done a great job for us and we really appreciate it!!!"

She is still not on the air and is getting her computer set up.

She sends regards to everyone and she will try to go to Killeen, Texas for the National Reunion.

Welcome back Irene and Ronnie... Phil Sandoval

I was glad to read of your Constabulary site. I was in Fulda, attached for rations,quarters and supervison of training with the 7811 AU. My real unit was the 7772 AU, Northern Area Signal Service Co. out of Frankfurt. I was there from Dec. 54 to May 56 when I stupidly screwed up on an inspection and got sent Kassel. The best time was in Fulda however and many of my friends were in Hq. of the 14th. A/C which I don't recall was called the Black Horse Regt. That may have been the 6th. A/C.

My job (if you can call it that) was to run the signal office, a dial central office which was in the first bldg. on the right at the gate closest to town. It was by the dependents quarters. The Provost Marshal was in the same bldg. Guys from the Hq. Co. Commo plt. operated the switchboard and the tty. John Beery was the commo sgt. and others were Bill Meals of York, PA, Sam Koontz, and now my memory fails.

I often recall catching a ride to town with a carton of cigs in a bag, selling them for ten DM and then going to the OberBayern and having plenty of Fulda Bier, russian eggs, enjoying the foot stomping music, and then hiring a taxi to get me back up the hill with still some jingle remaining. I still have my OberBayern stein the good folks gave me when I ZId. Frau Anna Wehner was a waitress there and got to be a special friend. The Luterne was a nice place to have a good feed once in a while and the Bahnhof Hotel was great to go and listen to taffel musik (table music). They had a cople of good violinists. They didn't have MPs there but had instead had troopers from the companies who served as SPs. Al Jackson of Long Island was the only SP I can recall by name.

I was the only guy in the signal office and shortly was given my own Taunus panel truck for signal purposes, of course. I never had to be serious with a trip ticket so drove the bloody truck all over from Kassel to the north to Wurzburg. On Sunday noon, rather than C Rations in the 14th. Mess another fellow and I would often drive up to Wasserkuppe for a good lunch with the USAF. The other fellow, Carl Coy was with an ASA outfit and could often "borrow" a 3/4 t and we'd drive out near the border and one day we came upon some fruliens peddling their bikes up a long hill. At that time being in a non-,ilitary outfit we didn't wear Ridgeway caps and I rolled my fatigue cap and leaned out of the cab and swated one of the gals on the butt. That provoked a loud happy howl from her and about the time we cchugged abit further a big cream Packard powered by driven by Capt John Cervola who was shaking his fist when last seen. Well we both figured that we'd had the biscuit the next day. Actually the fist wave must have been to please his wife cause the next day came and went with no fuss at all. About that time I bought a new VW from the Fulda dealer. For about $ 800.00 I recall.

But that's another story and for another day.

Best wishes to all those before and after me in Fulda.

You have a fascinating site with a lot of possibilities. I first found out about the Constabulary in the 1970s from a former co-worker at the Boeing Company(Russ Johnstad), who told me that he had served in the Constabulary from 1946-47. Having been a veteran and former Army dependent who had been to Europe twice, I was intrigued about this little known unit which was constituted from battle-hardened and hard-charging Armor and Cavalry units into a rather effective and professional para-police/peacekeeper force. In a relatively short amount of time, too. It always amazed me how fast the US demobilized their European forces after the end of WWII, leaving but a mere shred of what was the mightiest Army in the world, only to face an increased Russian military might.

I don't know if Mr. Johnstad is even still alive, but I think he and his family would enjoy your site. His last known address was in Renton, Washington.

Keep up the great work!

TO: Beaufort Hunt:
I served in Boeblingen and Ulm with Troop C, 72nd Squadron, 10th Regt. I returned to the states on the Admiral koontz in March 1947. I believe that it was the final voyage as the Koontz and then it underwent a major overhaul and became a luxury passenger liner, the SS Laguardia.

I am the Editor of the U.S. Constabulary Association’s newsletter the ‘Lightning Bolt.

I want to tell a very day-to-day story: what life was like each day, what Troopers were doing, what dignitaries were visiting, etc. Just stories, events, and ‘this is what it was like to be there’ kind of story. Remember, there is no record anywhere that I can find that tells of the everyday events and activities that took place at the Constabulary School or the Kaserne prior to the Constabulary startup in 1946.

If you were at the Constabulary School in any capacity, such as:
• Student
• a member of the Constabulary School Squadron
• stationed with any unit at the Kaserne
• a member of the Women’s Army Corp (WAC)
• member of the 2nd Cavalry Recon Squadron
• with the 465th AAA Battalion
• a member of the School band
• medical detachment
or in any way affiliated with the U.S. Constabulary School in Sonthofen from 1946 until 1952 I would appreciate your assistance.

I am seeking any information, whether it is photos, memorabilia, stories, your own personal experiences that I can include in my book. You can just write anything you may know or remember, and I can assure you that it will be included. You can also contact me at the address, phone or email shown below.

Please note it mentions, "Between 1946 and 1964 Soviet aircraft attacked twelve U.S. aircraft, causing the death of thirty-six crew and passengers."
The following description may be one of the twelve aircraft: "24 January 1964 A USAF T-39, based in Wiesbaden West Germany, was shot down by a Soviet fighter over Thuringia, about 60 miles inside East Germany while on a training flight. The crew of three, Gerald Hannaford, John Lorraine and Donald Millard were killed."
It also describes, "The death of Major Arthur Nicholson, shot by a Soviet soldier in 1985." He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.
Recently, I read about the people sentenced, responsible for the bombing of the Berlin disco La Belle, April 1986. The blast killed two American servicemen. They were also posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.
I have been attempting to obtain information about the military personnel in those twelve aircraft. If they were also recognized for their service by being awarded the Purple Heart.
I would appreciate any/all suggestion(s) leading to the office that contains the files of the military personnel in those aircraft. All attempts thus far, have been futile.

In remembering the 22d and 24th Constabulary (1948-1952), some good memories of outstanding border patrol troops still run thru my mind. The names have long since faded and the faces are becoming harder to focus on, Never the less, it was a fine tour. I thought even the bad times were good. From Hershfield to Kissengen, to the stockade in Frankfurt, I enjoyed every day. After leaving Germany, I continued with the Army and retired the last time in 1990 at Fort Lee, Virginia. Now, as I get older, I spend more and more time thinking about the Constabulary and the places where I spent my 15th, 16th, and 17th Christmas'. To all those who helped me grow up while there, thanks.

Fantastic review of history. I graduated from West Point on 3 June 1947 and was assigned to US Army Europe. I joined the 6th Constab Sqdn in August 1948 in Coburg. We were converted to the 3d Bn, 14th ACR in the fall of 1949. The 1st Sgt of G Troop almost cried when he found out that he had to change insignia. He had enlisted in the 6th Cav in 1936 at Ft. Oglethorpe, GA and had fought through WW II with the same regiment and then joined it in the Constabulary. He loved the unicorn rampant in the regimental insignia.

I was transferred to Constabulary Hq in April 1950, which in turn became Hq 7th Army later that year. I sailed for the US with my wife and daughter in January, 1952. I stayed in the US Army as an officer until 1 December, 1959, when I resigned for my wife's health and joined the Arizona Army National Guard in March 1960. I remained with the Guard until March 1963, when I joined the USAR. While in the USAR I attended C&GS and the Army War College. I retired as a Colonel on 31 December 1983.

He served as a translator and automobile mechanic...but was mostly chosen to 'identify' Nazis. He spoke several languages. He remembers riding in a US Jeep across country with two or three other soliders...one known as Jack. He later became a certified US military motor pool mechanic and abulance driver for the US government.

Thank GOD for all those wonderful years and I am so thankful that in 1988 I did what the BIBLE says I had to do to have eternal life. Time is marching on for all of us. Remember BIBLE stands for BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH.

Hello Troopers, just came back home from a visit to FULDA, home of the 81st Squadron in 1946. It was amazing to hear people talk about the Constabulary when they were in Fulda and how they stood up for order and security. Comparing to the fact that regular soldiers of today have not even heard of a Troop called "The Constabulary".
I need the new e-mail address of Trooper Marvin
Martin who seems to have changed the provider. If you know of a new address, please let me know. I have lost contact to him.
The homepage of the Constabulary is still getting better and better. Thank you Irene for

Hi Irene,

Nice to hear from you. Your establishing the web page for your Dad was certainly a wonderful thing to do for him. And it's a nice memorial to him now -- one that is greatly appreciated by many others who served in the
Constabulary.

Things are fine with me. Nothing more serious right now than some arthritis in the wrists. After two bypass surgeries (1983, 1999) the heart is beating great. Am keeping busy with tutoring immigrants in English three mornings a
week, helping a young refugee from Kosovo (she's a student at the local college of which my wife and I are alumni) with papers for her classes, and doing some writing for the communications office of a nearby university.

I'm just one of many who are grateful for your web site!!!!

Dear Sirs,
I found your web side when searching in the internet. I sought indications for the 1st or 14th Constabulary Squadron / Regiment. This squadron / regiment was formed 1946 - the 11th Armored Group also was part of his roots...

It is me about what?

I search at the end of WWII 1945 into Central Germany - see: http://www.koch-athene.de/en.htm (English pages).

At my researches I hit the 11th Armored Group. This 11th Armored Group is proved also at Shelby L. Stanton: Order of Battle in WWII... The last headquarters was in my home town Apolda in Thuringia (The 11th Armored Group was attached with the 6th Armored Division at that time). The tasks of the 11th Armored Group lay in the area of the Military Government - see: Copy of the protocol http://www.koch-athene.de/6th/doc_protocol1.htm

I would like concrete learned to the 11th Armored Group. Researches into the National Archives were without result... The assumption suggests herself in the meantime that the 11th Armored Group (analogous to the 11th cavalry group) out is arisen one thing of the 11th cavalry regiment, however. 1946 the 11th Armored Group became a part of the 1st or 14th Constabulary Squadron/ Regiment (I found this note on a side of Geocities).

Can you help me along? I seek every kind of note which lead me to the 11th Armored Group ... to still living veterans of this unit ... or to the history of the 11th Armored Group, photos of the members, documents etc etc

Do you have an idea where one can further search?

I would estimate every kind of help very much.

Hey Ray, your comments on the one year extension hit a sensitive nerve. I too like many others got caught in that "Truman" year extension. I was in Friedberg when I got hit with it. I had just been promoted to Staff Sgt. when I was told I wasn't going home.

I was so disgusted that I eventually got busted to Private but was E-5 a year later with a promise to staff if I re-upped. I told them to keep their stripes, I was going home.

I do have happy memories of my time over there though and am glad I found the US Con Assoc to relive those memories.

I will never forget the First Sgt telling us we better not talk to any of them for a while when the get back because some are fit to be tied. What a feeling that must have been for them.

I am searching for information on the German Military units stationed in north Frankfurt, at the post on Hombürger Lanstraße, which later was called Edwards Kaserne. All I was told was it was a mounted cavalry unit and military hospital. The front gate had a rearing horse statue and there were rings on some buildings to hitch up a horse.

After the US Army took over it was home to the The 143rd Signal Battalion, 3rd Armor Division.

The soldiers and families of the 143rd Signal Battalion, 3AD, invite you to learn our history and share our memories.

The 143rd Signal Battalion was tasked to provide Encrypted Voice and Data communications to the combat and support elements of the 3rd Armor Division, Spearhead.

From WWII to the Persian Gulf War, the Voice of Iron ensured that not only did unit commanders have contact with their battlefield elements; the unit also provided morale boosting contact with families in Europe and Stateside.

New friends we met at the OP8 reunion in Las Vegas and the National reunion in Louisville: Our OP 8 Commander Don & Roselyn Purrington, Bob & Gerry & Jan Monasmith, Frank & Helga Stephenson, Ron & Olga Johnson, Jack & Ida Mullen, Dick Reinke & Lois Ebel, Les Snedeker, Bill Strub, Lou Lynn, Frank Termini, Ray Gillaume, Bill Ostrowski and I apologize because I know I left some names out.

I also want to wish a Merry Christmas to Thomas Schmidt from Kassel, Germany who together with Irene helped get us into the base at Fritzlar where the Base Adjutant led us on a tour of the base. And Toni Schindler from Nettetal, Germany who worked in Fulda.

To all our best and warmest wishes for a safe and joyful Holiday season.

Phil (Sandy) and Lala Sandoval

People like Tenenbaum and Col. Stoker lead the top secret operation in 1948. Nobody else knew about it. The secret service/ CIA surrounded it by elektic fence. People had to stay in therefor about 14 days. More you find under ASA and/ or 601. airforce webside. Somebody wrote a long story about it.

The German TV-Station PHOENIX just finished the report on the introduction of the DEUTSCHE MARK in 1948 and it is said that the US Troops in Rothwesten had a most important role to transport and secure the Deutsche Mark to the
Banks and distributing points all over West Germany. As far as I know the Constabulary was in Rothwesten at that time. This tells me, that you guys handled our solid currency that has existed up to now and will be replaced by the EURO, the new European currency and we hope it will last as long as the Deutsche Mark did and longer. The spiritual father of the German Wirtschaftswunder was Gen. Marshal. He had his assistants as the famous German Minister of economy the well remembered Mr. Erhardt. Greetings to all of you who were stationed in Rothwesten.

He passed away in August of 1999, while living in retirement in Lady Lakes, FL. with my mother. I took him back to Dergendorf base in 1979 as a Christmas gift - I was a Marine stationed as an Embassy Guard in Vienna. I've never seen so many years wash off a man so quickly as when we found that tiny little base. If anyone remembers him I would love to hear from them.

I saw what Toni Schindler wrote about the ones that went to the National Reunion not writing anything on this site and I plead guilty. I have been in contact via direct E-Mail with some of my old friends and some new ones I met in Louisville but I haven't posted anything here.
Sorry about that. It was my 1st National and we had a grand time. I want to thank the organizers of the event as it takes a lot of work to put it together. I especially want to thank Don Purrington, my commander of OP 8 and Bill Tevington (An old buddy. We served together in Hq/Hq Co, 14th ACR).
The visit to Ft. Knox was excellent. Seeing the U.S. Constabulary Memorial was very meaningful for me. It made our service time over there more special because it validated our service to our country.
Unfortunately not many people know about us. I have a Circle "C" decal on my car and many folks here in Twain Harte, California ask me about it and I have been telling them who we were and what we did.
I was a radio operator and a radio repairman when I was there from Jan. '49 to May 52. I was stationed in Fritzlar, Friedberg, Gelnhausen and Fulda and I visited these places last year in Sept. 2000 and I drank some of that good German beer in each town to celebrate my return.
So, Toni, there you have my story. I hope some of you other guys that were in Louisville add to what I have said.
I also want to thank Irene for improving this super web site so that we can tell our stories. I also served with Irene's father, Gil Matherne. It was sad that Gil was not there with us to celebrate but he was there in spirit. He is now in a better place.
God Bless you all.

Made many trips to the czech. border alone, to repair radios of a line company. Had radio contact with 7th Army every 15 minutes when NOT interrupted by russians answering our call. As all of you probably remember we spent about 9 months out of every year on field duty for about 4 yrs. The 3rd Bn. won all Military competiion against other units in Germany for several years until they allowed us, the 3rd Bn to play the enemy, and confused the others units participating, with our tactics. Enough said, I believe we were the best. Thanks for listening to a brief summary of the 3rd Bn 2nd A/C.

Boy Scout Training made a man out of me! I`ll always
be a " Trooper ". I love history & at 74 Years young
know the history of the Constabulary very well and
know that it was formed in October 1945 & was then
called the U.S. Zone Constabulary,& it was partially
operational.Some of our Association Members served in the Constabulary in late 1945. I have complete
documentation of our October 1945 begining. I`ll
never change my case - it`s factual history.
Irene Moore our Web Site Editor is doing a fantastic job telling our history. I`m proud to serve as her " East Coast Reporter " !
