Up Date Information For 2/32nd FA

 Sir, I have been looking for web sites about the 2/32nd for some time now. Wouldn't you know I stumbled onto this while searching for something else! My name is Sam Dennemann. I was a member of A Battery 2/32nd FA (MLRS/ATACMS), Giessen, Germany from the fall of 1989 through January of 1991.

 I don't know if you knew the battalion was reactivated or not, so I thought I would share the info with you. I went through Basic Training June-August 1989 and then received 13 weeks of AIT all at Ft. Sill, OK. I trained as a 13P Multiple Launch Rocket Systems/Lance Operations Fire Direction Specialist. After AIT I was assigned to B Battery 3/9th FA along with 2 of my 13P classmates. At the time the 3/9th had few people. B & C Batteries were training units specifically designed to create Battalions of MLRS with Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) capabilities.

 There was also about 6 people in a Headquarters unit and very few people in D Battery, which was the last Pershing unit, no equipment at all. And there was H Battery. We were reassigned to H Battery (Host unit) about a month after arriving at B 3/9th. Over the next few months the rest of the unit filtered in. We just happened to be the first assigned there. Basically we prepared a very run down barracks for a battalion to live. Once the entire unit was assembled we reprocessed all of the vehicles and equipment and then went through an 8 week training cycle M-F in the field. Saturday and half of Sunday preparing for the next week. At the end we underwent a four day battery test. We did very well, and were highly motivated. We had a ceremony and were officially designated as A Battery 2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery (MLRS/ATACMS).

 We were ordered to 28 days pre-deployment leave and the unit met in St. Louis in late April 1990, where we flew to Germany. Our home station was Giessen Depot, and we trained in Grafenwhor much of the time. After August of 1990 volunteers were requested for duty in Saudi Arabia. Many people from A Battery went over. The 2nd was never called for duty in the Middle East for Desert Storm. We continued to train and before long the rest of the Battalion filtered in from training at Ft. Sill. Upon arrival in Germany there was a month in- process and then two in the field at Grafenwhor. I left in January of 1991 and from what I know the Battalion was disbanded and reformed as the 6/32 FA MLRS now in Ft. Sill. Still the Proud Americans though. Thank you for your service and a great web site. "Proud Americans" Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!
