| - United States Army Europe (USAREUR) is an Army Service Component Command of the United States Army. It is responsible for continuous oversight and control of U.S. Army operations throughout the United States European Command Area of Responsibility. On 15 March 1947, "United States Forces, European Theater (USFET) was replaced by the army command known as European Command (EUCOM). ..The Army element of the joint European Command headquarters was initially called Headquarters, U.S. Ground and Service Forces, Europe. On 15 November 1947, U.S. Ground and Service Forces, Europe, was renamed U.S. Army, Europe (USAREUR) to accord with the new Department of the Army nomenclature for such commands. USAREUR was a nonoperational, 'paper' organization that provides the ground and service commander with the command functions required for administrative and logistical support. To it were assigned all ground and service units in the command except those assigned to the Office of Military Government, United States; to the Office of the Commander in Chief of European Command; to U.S. Air Forces Europe; to the U.S. Navy, Germany; and to a few exempted War Department agencies. The offices and personnel of the general and special staff divisions of EUCOM headquarters performed USAREUR's general and special staff duties. The principal function of the commanding general of USAREUR became the establishment and maintenance of high standards of discipline. General Huebner also became Commanding General, USAREUR. On 24 November 1950 EUCOM activated Seventh Army at Stuttgart to take over the command of the ground and service forces from USAREUR, while other USAREUR functions revert to EUCOM. General Eddy becomes CG of Seventh Army. USAREUR continues to exist, but without troops; it fulfills certain legal requirements in connection with court-martial and other responsibilities. On 1 August 1952 the previous "European Command", with headquarters remaining in Heidelberg under the temporary command of General Thomas T. Handy was redesignated U.S. Army Europe. Also on 1 August 1952, Headquarters, U.S. European Command was established in Frankfurt with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway as commander and Gen. Handy as deputy commander (Gen. Handy wore two hats for a while). In January 1967, in accordance with Headquarters Department of the Army Msg NR DA796059 dated 9 January 1967, the USAREUR and Seventh Army staffs were combined to become U.S. Army Europe/Seventh Army. Nearly forty years later, Army Campaign Plan DP 58 (circa 2006) effectively dropped the Seventh Army title. Decisions that took effect in 2006 stated that the official designation would be "United States Army Europe" (USAREUR). The organization perpetuates the lineage and honors of the Seventh Army and authorized the display and wear of appropriate Seventh Army heraldic items. Since the Cold War began in the late 1940s, USAREUR has supervised formations mostly focused upon defending against Soviet and Warsaw Pact threats from the east as part of NATO's Central Army Group. Since 1990, however, the command has been greatly reduced in size, dispatched forces to the Gulf War, and emphasised security cooperation with new NATO allies and other partners.
