TOWER BARRACKS, Germany – The US Army was officially established in 1775 and has since played a vital role not only for the American nation but also in the Bavarian footprint.
In 1945 the U.S. Army took over responsibility of the military training area in Grafenwoehr and has since become an integral part in the local community with over 50 established partnerships throughout Bavaria.
