Dagger Complex


The Dagger Complex is a US military base in Darmstadt (Germany), close to Griesheim. It is located on the Eberstädter Weg, south of the August-Euler-Airfield.

The complex is operated by the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) on behalf of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Building 4373 within the complex houses the NSA's European Cryptologic Center (ECC), the agency's principal SIGINT processing, analysis and reporting center in Germany.

In 1999 about 50 INSCOM-Units were moved from Bad Aibling Station to Darmstadt. Together with INSCOM, the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade was moved to Darmstadt until summer of 2004.

The facility is slated to be relocated to a Consolidated Intelligence Center at Lucius D. Clay Kaserne in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim in 2015.

In 2015, the Peng Collective operated a airborne leaflet strike over the facility as part of their Intelexit program, to call the employees to quit their job in case of ethical or psychological distress. Shortly after the drop of the leaflets, the associations website was blocked on computers within the Complex.
