311 Forward Mobile Support Unit was located in Lahr, Germany.  It closed out in '92.

Above info ascertained through a Google search - Google is your friend.

311 FMSU (the different Coys) was located in several villages in and around Lahr. It did not belong to 4 CMBG but CFE. It was the predecessor of the GS Bn in Canada in the late 90's.

FMSU held all the extra big ticket items for the Brigade(among other duties I am sure).  I remember picking up a Leopard there in '90 to replace one that was going to rebuild.  Those were the days when we had extra tanks.  Before ERP took all our toys away.

Was it used then for some yard to hold the big toys as you say for the brigade, did they also do maintenance works as well ??
