Dept. of Defense photo, May 4,
1956: Early elements of the 3rd Armored Division set sail aboard
the USNS Darby at Brooklyn Army Terminal. As part of Operation
Gyroscope, Spearhead was returning to Germany, which it had left
in 1945 following WWII. By July, 1956, the Division was fully
in place at bases in the general vicinity of Frankfurt, where
it would remain for the next 35 years, until 1992. |
