As far as the original 16, on the Det A list provided by Gary Morgan has a longer list than 16 names so will have to review and talk it over with people like Gary to figure out who was in the vanguard.The names I remember were, Sgt Willoughby, Gary Baasch, Tom Sheets, Gary Morgan, Barney Batchelor, Ed Joos, Jack Pickett, Gordon Stamper, Gary Benedict, Ed Yost, Larry Buesgens, Lee Moss, Ray Craig, Mark Heisler and myself. In the first 6 months there was a rotation of the maintenance guys because of the different
skills required in the actual installation if the original site.
Barney Reynolds was assigned to Schleswig in the 1969-70 time frame when the Detachment was billeted in the Hotel  Prinzen Palais and he has sent in a small album of photos from that time period. CLICK THE THUMBNAIL OR HERE FOR THE ALBUM
From Jim Phillips: I finally connected my scanner back up tonight (after months of leaving it sitting), found the picture we  talked about and scanned it. I am going to try to send you the file here. It;s 2+meg so let me know if you get it. 20/06/01Caption on the frame reads: 16 August 1976 - Presentation of Guidon to Schleswig Detachment by 3d Opns Bn Commander - Major Babich.

A part of the history was MG Royla's (Last Commander of the Army Security Agency and the first Commander of  INSCOM) visit in the fall of 1977. I did have pictures of the briefing at the Det Haus (presented by SGT Bob Knox of the detachment) and several pictures of the General's inspection! and speaking with various detachment members. Those photos are not to be found and all I have been able to find are the arrival and departure photos. CLICK THE PHOTO OR HERE FOR THE ALBUM
Two Small Photo Albums These are circa 1976-78
 <<---14 Photos in and around the detachment.
AND 9 Photos of various people--->>
The detachment was closed late 92 or sometime in 1993, can't remember at the moment in conjunction with the falling of the Berlin Wall and dissolving of the Iron Curtain as the Soviet Union collapsed. The following two images were taken by me in the latter nineteen nineties. The site had apparently reverted back to the Germans and the Bundeswehr Private on guard duty when I came around would not give up any information. Much changed, but in a way the same.
