[FR] A la fin de la deuxième guerre mondiale débute la "guerre froide", période de tension entre l'Est et l'Ouest, qui amène les forces de l'OTAN à se doter des moyens matériels nécessaires pour résister à une éventuelle agression de l'URSS. C'est dans ce contexte que de nombreuses bases furent créées en France, dont le "Depot Activity de Chinon". Les américains séjourneront à St Benoit de 1951 à 1967.
