5th Panzer Division
The
5th Panzer Division is a
German armored unit. Subordinate to the
United States V Corps, it played a major role in the defense of
West Germany from the
Soviet Union during the
Cold War; after the Soviet Union's fall, the division remained under
American military control (administratively), and has recently sent troops to
Yugoslavia.
Also, this unit is technically under NATO control, in the case of a foreign power's attack on a NATO country (this unit might get involved in an attack of Germany, Belgium, France, or other nearby NATO countries). Also, it is unique as being the largest foreign military unit subordinate to an American military unit.
