SGT Thomas Lucken Thanks for posting. This sounds like a great read. I've told folks before that my WWII Veteran Father helped start the Cold War and I helped Finished it being stationed in Germany from 1989-1992. I remember alerts as well as traing deployments well. Those huge Map Books we had to create for Reforgers and Caravan Guard Exercises were something! Thanks for your service!

Hi John, the first 3 books are good! I met Bob Kern by helping him out with Book 3, Korean DMZ! And still working with him, pulling in people to help with his next few books! His goal is to do a total series of about 12 books on different variations of the Cold War!

My dad was a WWII vet also, never looked at it that way! I was 82 to 91 with several years in Korea, Germany only made it there on 2 Reforgers! I went on to serve as a Army contractor in Korea from 91 to 00. I got out after DS at FT Irwin. Haven't forgotten the Russian doctrine we trained units on at the time, then DS!

Thanks for posting SGT. Lucken. I think it will be a great read as well. I served from '83 - '92. My first tour was in Germany at Meisau Ammunition Depot, 4th Ordinance Company from '84 - 86 and I ended my service stationed at Patch Barracks, Stuttgart, Germany '90 - '92.

It was a different kind of military back during the Cold War. We trained differently than they do in todays military. It seemed as if we were constantly walking on a razors edge just waiting for the line to be crossed. We knew who our enemy was and where they would be coming from although we did have to deal with our own set of terrorists and spies overseas.
