The first Americans arived in 1942 with the 51st Troop Carrier Wing Headquarters, arriving in September 1942. The 51st TCW controlled the three troop carrier groups at RAF Keevil (62nd TCG), RAF Aldermaston (60th TCG) and RAF Ramsbury (64th TCG) as part of Twelfth Air Force. The Soviet deployment of the technically superior SS-20 missile from 1975 caused major concern in the NATO alliance. It closed in 1991 and was later demolished. The site is now mostly parkland and only a few concrete strips remain were the runways used to be.

abstract	The first Americans arived in 1942 with the 51st Troop Carrier Wing Headquarters, arriving in September 1942. The 51st TCW controlled the three troop carrier groups at RAF Keevil (62nd TCG), RAF Aldermaston (60th TCG) and RAF Ramsbury (64th TCG) as part of Twelfth Air Force. The Soviet deployment of the technically superior SS-20 missile from 1975 caused major concern in the NATO alliance. America chose to deploy in Europe from 1983 up to 464 USAF Gryphon Ground Launched Cruise Missile (GLCMs) that were based on the US Navy BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise Missile, as well as 108 US Army Pershing II ballistic missiles. Some SLCM and ALCM were also deployed. RAF Molesworth and Greenham Air Base were the recipients of the non submarine launched missiles. It closed in 1991 and was later demolished. The site is now mostly parkland and only a few concrete strips remain were the runways used to be.
