Civilian Labor Group

Civilian Labor Group or CLG are organisations of German or other European nationals employed by the US Army in Europe. They often wear American fatigues or a blue uniform with various insignia identifying them as CLG members.

History

The Labor Service Units were created to support the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949. With the creation of the Bundeswehr in 1955, the Labor Service Units were renamed Civilian Labor Groups.[http://www.usarmygermany.com/Units/Signal/USAREUR_6981st%20CSC.htm USAREUR Units - 6981st CSC] The units performed a variety of functions such as Signals, Construction, Bridging, and Security. One CLG was assigned to the US Army's 565th Engineer Battalion.[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/565eng-b.htm 565th Engineer Battalion]
