From 1951 to 1967, the training area was under various command headquarters.
On 2 July 1967, WTA was assigned to the 7th Army Training Command in Grafenwoehr. The training area remained under this headquarters until October 1982, when control of the military community was transferred to V Corps; however, the training area command remained under Grafenwoehr.
On 1 October 1990, control and supervision of both the community and training area was again assumed by 7th Army Training Command. Concurrently, an Area Support Group organization was implemented throughout USAREUR to administratively and logistically support installation/base operations for tactical units and the major training area command.
As a result of the new area support realignment, WTA became a seperate and subordinate command under the 7th Army Training Command in Grafenwoehr, supported by the 100th Area Support Group.
Subsequently, the 283rd Base Support Battalion was activated 16 October 1991 at WTA, one of four base support battalions of the 100th Area Support Group.
The mission of the 283rd Base Support Battallion was to plan, coordinate, and execute base operations for the Wildflecken community and to provide mission support to the WTA Command.
The 283rd BSB deactivated in June 1994, when the USMCA and WTA had been closed.
