In September 1990, elements of the division assisted with the removal of old U.S. chemical munitions during Operation Steel Box in particular paramedics from Leer (Ostfriesland) for a few weeks in Nordenham in use.. From November 1990 to July 1991, parts of the division provided security, maintenance, and transport in the ports of Emden and Nordenham for U.S. and British troops redeploying to the Gulf War. The 11th Panzergrenadier Division was disbanded in 1994.
