This is the Unit's History (unclas): Terrorism and its threat to Americans has long time been a concern of the United States. To counter this threat and enhance the security of government facilities, the US Army developed, organized, and activated the United States Army Physical Security Support Element-Berlin (PSSE-B) on 16 April 1984, and tasked to analyze and conduct facility vulnerability surveys. The USA Physical Security Support Element-Berlin since its activation, has had a significant impact on the security of US personnel living and working overseas. During its short tenure, PSSE-B has conducted in excess of 100 extensive vulnerability surveys and analyses of military installations, governmant quarters, and US Embassys in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The information furnished in these surveys and analyses has provided important data needed to secure facilities against those intent on destruction and injury to our fellow citizens, Living up to our motto "Fuer die Sicherheit", the members of PSSE-B continue to dedicate their time and resources to the welfare and safety of our felllow Americans.
This Unit History was published on 01 June 1990 during the last Change of Command Ceremony before the units deactivation on 15 August 1990.

Thanks Hilmar - I looked for some info on that morphed version of Det A (I know you said it was not Det A - but taking the stirpes off a tiger won't confuse the tiger, just everybody else).
I could not find anything, so your info above helps me to visualize what they were about. I will have to sit down with you at the Stammtisch sometime to take a closer look at that Tiger.
Oh by the way - what ever happend ot the "Det-A Day Room?"
