Mission: A Cold War Remembrance

Mission A Cold War Remembrance By: Thomas Wyckoff LTC, US Army (Ret.) For fifty years following World War II, the US Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) to the Soviet Forces in East Germany was one of the premier intelligence collection organizations in the Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. Operating “behind the lines” with excellent access to front line Soviet Forces in East Germany, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the allied Military Liaison Missions conducted continuous, close-up monitoring of the most powerful ground and air forces of the Soviet Union: those directly confronting NATO forces along the inter-German border. The author was a USMLM liaison officer for four years (1982-1986). He conducted 165 missions into East Germany, performing close surveillance of the nineteen Soviet divisions located there. Mission is a personal recollection of those surveillance activities. It is a close-up view of an organization that, for fifty years, stood on the cutting edge of the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union
