| SUMMARY: The basis for the existence of the
USMLM is the Huebner-Malinin Agreement. The agreement was signed in March
1947 by Lieutenant General C. R. Huebner, Deputy Commander in Chief, US
European Command (EUCOM), and Colonel-General Malinin, Deputy Commander in
Chief and Chief of Staff, Group of Soviet Occupation Forces, Germany. The
agreement established a Soviet Military Liaison Mission (SMLM) located in
Frankfurt/Main, West Germany; and the USMLM accredited to CINC GSFG and
located in Potsdam, East Germany. Terms of the agreement authorize each
Mission to have 14 accredited members without regard to service or grade,
guarantee the right of free travel for accredited members throughout the
zone without escort "except places of disposition of military units", permit
the Mission to render aid and protect the interests of "people of their own
country" in the zone, grant the right of extraterritoriality of the Mission
buildings, and require each signatory to provide the other with necessary
quarters, rations, POL supplies and household services as needed.
The unit took down its colors on October 1, 1990, in Potsdam, Germany, as directed by the JCS as a consequence of the end of the Cold War. ** Please Note: These documents are in the Adobe PDF format, are extremely large and may take some time to download.
