Comments: I was an 11B, assigned to the guard platoon from May, 1965-November 1966. I remember SSG Obenchain and SGT Higgs. I managed the four lane bowling alley alone with SGT Walker who was with the ammo section. Left there in November 1966, to attend Ordnance OCS. CO was CPT, later, MAJ Jerry K. Patterson. Family quarters were in Babenhauser. Fond memories. MAJ(R) Ewing Lawson

My Name is Earl N. Drake, Sr.  it was just Sgt. Earl N. Drake when I left Babenhausen, W. Germany in September 1967.  I was stationed in Babenhausen from 1964 to 1967.

Although I was officially assigned to the 32nd Signal Battalion, I never spent a single night at their Kaserne in Wiesbaden, W. Germany.  I reported to and was attached to the Headquarters Battery, 36th Field Artillery Group in Babenhausen from my first day in W. Germany when I arrived by troop ship in Bremerhaven, except when I was attached to a Signal School in Lenggries & Bad Toltz, W. Germany, first as a student, later as an instructor.

On your web site, you mention the Hawk Air Defense installations at Babenhausen.  When I was stationed at Babenhausen and if my memory is correct, they were owned & operated by the 6th Battalion of the 59th Artillery.

Do you have a list of names of the people that were assigned or attached to the 36th between 1964 and 1967 (or have responded to your web site)?  I would love to see if I recognize any of the names.  With my memory now, I don’t guarantee anything any more.

Please add my name to your list of Babenhausen Alumni.

Following my ROTC commission as a 2nd Lt. in the Army, I attended Air Defense Artillery School and Hawk Missile School at Ft. Bliss early in 1964. My oldest son was born at the Biggs AFB Hospital on 5-16-64. I was assigned to Hawk Battery A, 6th Missile Battalion, 59th Artillery in Germany.
