There is rising anger in Germany after the draft report of the Echelon committee of the European Parliament was published. Especially the Green Party in the German Government, but as well lots of people from other parties don´t like the whole thing at all. On the other hand, as far as I remember, the station to close was snooping on the U.K. since the end of the cold war - so maybe this was meant to be nice to the Brits so they will be nice to the U.S. and don´t give in to the demands of their European partners, that is: Be European! No Comment so far from the German government. Ralf http://www.vulcan.belvoir.army.mil/bas_to_close.asp US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) INSCOM POC: Shirley Startzman, (703) 706-1283 Bad Aibling Station to close FORT BELVOIR, VA. May 31, 2001 - The U.S. Forces stationed at Bad Aibling Station (BAS), Germany, will be consolidated and realigned according to an announcement today. The Department of Defense made the decision at the request of the Director of the National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service (NSA/CSS). Current operations at the U.S. Government facility at Bad Aibling will cease on Sept. 30, 2002, with return of the facility to the German Government to be completed by fiscal year 2003. The U.S. personnel currently stationed at BAS will gradually be reassigned to other operational units. Bad Aibling Station is an integral part of the Department of Defense communications network and provides support to U.S. and allied interests. There has been a U.S. presence in Bad Aibling since 1947. The U.S. Army took command of the station in 1952. In 1971, the station became a predominately civilian operation managed by NSA. In 1972, its name was changed to the current Bad Aibling Station. In 1994, BAS management was transferred from NSA to the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Bad Aibling Station is located in the village of Mietraching and is approximately two miles from the center of the town of Bad Aibling, Germany. Bad Aibling is a Bavarian resort town located about 35 miles southeast of Munich. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 2001-06-03 comments to [email protected] subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
