  • The Central Army Group (CENTAG) was a NATO military formation comprising four Army Corps from two NATO member nations. During the Cold War CENTAG was NATO's forward defence in the Southern half of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The NORTHERN half of the Federal Republic of Germany was defended by the four Army Corps of NATO's Northern Army Group (NORTHAG). During war time CENTAG would command four frontline corps (II German, III German, V US, VII US). Air support was provided by Fourth Allied Tactical Air Force. There were two additional French corps (I Corps, II Corps) associated with the Army Group. In 1966, France had withdrawn from the NATO Command Structure, but still wished to take part in the defence of Western Europe. A series of secret US-French agreements made between NATOs Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and the French Chief of the Defence Staff detailed how French forces would reintegrate into the NATO Command Structure in case of war: at the outbreak of hostilities the French First Army would be placed directly under the command of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), which would employ the three corps' of First Army as needed. Three armored divisions of First Army were based within Germany and held yearly maneuvers with their allies to train for the moment French units would be committed to CENTAG. The complete war time structure of CENTAG in the fall of 1989 at the end of the Cold War follows below:
