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. 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.
