The following letter was received by Paul VanPelt on 27 Sep 2001 from Conrad "Mac" McCormick who was the volunteer coordinator at Ft. Huachuca.
"The unit was constituted in the Regular Army as the 511th MI Service Company 30 June 1952, and activated in Korea 1 Sep 1952.
It was reorganized and redesignated as the 511th MI Co on 28 Mar 1954 and inactivated in
Korea 20 May 1956.
The 511th MI Co was activated in Germany 1 Jun 1962. On 1 July 1972 it was reorganized
and redesignated as HQ & HQ Co, 511th MI Bn. The 511th MI Bn was inactivated at Nurnberg
1 Oct 1983.
The unit was reorganized and redesignated as HQ, HQ& SVC Co, 511th MI Bn and activated at
Augsburg, Germany 16 Oct 1983. It was last inactivated in Germany 15 Nov 1991.
The 511th has 3 campaign streamers and ? ROK Presidental Unit Citations for Korean War
service and 3 campaign streamers and a Meritorius Unit Commendation for Gulf War service.
It was activated in 1962 with the personnel, equipment and AOR of the former Field Station
XI of the 66th INTC (Later MI) Group. Until 1983 the 511th had area counterintelligence
mission responsibilities as a subordinate element of the 66th MI Group. Upon reactivization in 1983, the 511th had been reorganized as a Tactical Exploitation battalion of
the VII US Corps and served in Southwest Asia in that capacity.
The present 511th MI Co at Fort Irwin, Ca, with the 11th ARC is an unrelated unit with
a completely separate lineage. Conrad R. "Mac" McCormick"
