NSA memo announcing the establishment of the European Security Center (ESC) in Germany. The ESC will primarily support the U.S. Army, Europe, and the European Command, but will also conduct mutually beneficial, cooperative missions with various Signals Intelligence Directorate (SID) Product Lines throughout much of Africa and parts of the Middle East. The ESC is a complete production facility efficient in performing collection, processing, analysis, and dissemination of telephone content.
