Quick Reaction Alert site for West German Luftwaffe missile battalion FKG-1 at Landsberg. One of the battalion's three launch companies was always on permanent alert here. Each long concrete pad hosted a platoon of three missiles. The other two companies at Landsberg barracks would mobilize and deploy to remote forest sites on any threat of war with the Warsaw Pact.
