THE FOREIGN COY'S

 

1 UNITED STATES ARTILLERY

FIELD ASSISTANCE DETACHMENT

[1 USAFAD] "Redlegs"

(A) A coy= detachment from the Foreign Coy of Foot, STOF which assists the Grand Ducal Artillery (and other units) with the use and maintenance of their U.S.-made artillery.

 

 

As might be expected, many of the detachment's personnel are American "Redlegs" no longer needed to serve their own country on active duty, but who still wish to actively serve democracy and justice. However, the Grand Duchy will neither confirm nor deny that any of its Detachment's current members were at one time assigned to a U.S. Army unit with a similar name--the 1st United States Army Field Artillery Detachment or 1st USAFAD--which was stationed in Wesel, Germany from 1965 until 1992.

 

The Grand Duchy does, however insist that its 1USAFAD should not be confused or compared with the American 1st USAFAD, which, was described in a now defunct website dedicated to that detachment, as ". . . a Warhead Detachment assigned to maintain control and custody of U.S. nuclear weapons." In this regard, the Grand Duchy states categorically that its 1 USAFAD does not maintain custody and control of U.S. nuclear weapons.
