(U) The Return of Forees to Germany, REFORGER, 83 was the fifteenthstrategic mob1lity exercise executed under the 1967 London Tripartite Agreementamong the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and West Germany. Theagreement allowed the U.S. 24th Infantry Division (Mechanized), located in Germanyto restation its division base and two brigades in the United States, while leavingone brigade in place. The agreement further stipulated that the 24th ID(M) wouldreturn the division(-) annually, draw Prepositioning of Materiel Configured To UnitSets (POMCUS), link-up with the forward stationed brigade, and then partiCipate in aEuropean field training exercise (FTX). In 1970 during REFORGER II, the 24th In(M}IllS replaced by the 1st Infantry Division(Mech), making the 1st ID(M) the REFORGERdesignated division. As POMCUS sets were increased, the annual REFORGER strategicdeployment expanded to include different CONUS divisions. Continued retinement ofU.S. support to NATO necessitated .the addition of non-divisional combat, combatsupport, and combat service support units. Additionally, the deployment of anon-POMCUS division in 1976, the 101st Airborne Division (AASLT), added a newdimension to the original REFORGER concept. Subsequent REFORGERs have addednumerQus innovations including deplQyment of reserve components units and no-noticeemergency deployment readiness exercises (EDREs). The major participants inREFORGER 83 were the 3d (US) Corps Battle Staff; 1st Cavalry Division (-); 3dArmored Cavalry Regiment(-}; 1st Battalion, 75th Infantry(Ranger) ;and the 1stBattalion, 198th Armor(MS ARNG). These forces in concert with reserve componentsand active 'duty combat and combat service support units participated in or insupport of either 1st (NL) Corps FTX ATLANTIC LION or V (US) Corps FTX CONFIDENTENTERPRISE. REFORGER 83 exercised wartime operational plens, offered excellenttraining, and demonstrated the flexibility and resolve of the U.S. to reinforceNATO. A total of 16,044 CalUS personnel deployed b. (U) REFORGER 63 was based on the current USAREUR-REFORGER Five Year Plen.Detailed planning and coordination began in April 1982 at the Initial PlanningConference (IPC) held at HQ USAREUR. Subsequently, a depl.Jyment troop list wasdeveloped and approved in coordination with HQ FORSCOH.TAla9Ita.!.!l],.,wi.'.,.,.g MSlIIiS 81tkill en"', Ite d::bsclwedlIultlple SOllcce·p·01l \ie 11RIU aseie iii .81 applloabieAe8Mla" iRa a8 11"0 Q91JPiBBlIi'IALend wi"He" be 'tU"'r1t'ao"t apoQi". a,.,eeal&tfteIt;" , dOO . t,at. 4IlselouedI''1b, Vlii'ell!ftis page . teg18dBd bielassltt68whe" 64, S.d fro' bls; c doC'ment.1, cclal 1I1. ,.",,'18 a IU1'Q QQUPIBBI"!At:.1-1DEClASS/F/!1) IN FUlLAuthority: EO 13526Chief, Records & Oectass DIY WHSDate: MAR 27 2013 -CONFIBENTIAL
