Frage: Was bedeutet SWHQ ???

[Gast]

Hallo,
da ich weiß, das ich hier im forum ne Antwort bekomme, wollte ich mal fragen was die Abkürzung SWHQ bedeutet ? Bei einer US Seite mit Abkürzungen fand ich die Erklärung "Static War Head Quarter". Stimmt das und wenn ja, was macht dieses HQ denn ?

Danke !

Krieg führen im Kriegsfalle eben... als festes HQ wie es beispielsweise im Abrahms Building war.

Farbenindustrie Building in Frankfurt. This large structure, later re-named the Abrams Building, served as the Headquarters for the V Corps until late in 1994 when the Corps Headquarters began to relocate to Heidelberg. Despite the size of this building, the number of personnel assigned or attached to the Headquarters reached 16,000 with another 14,000 assigned to other supporting agencies. The leadership rapidly realized that the size of the command had overwhelmed the size of the facilities available on post-war Germany. For this reason and for security purposes, the command was decentralized into the towns of Hanau and Offinbach. Eventually, the organization covered six Landkreis or counties...".
