KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany. - The 409th Contracting Support Brigade is moving its headquarters operations to Sembach Air Base, Germany.
Throughout the month of October, 409th CSB personnel are relocating to a building on the air base. The move is part of Army transformation directed by U.S. Army Europe.
"The relocation of the unit into one building will enhance efficiencies within the headquarters, as well as improve effectiveness of our contracting business operations," said Col. William J. Bailey, 409th CSB commander. "We are also closer to our largest contracting customer, Installation Management Command-Europe."
"We have a plan in place that allowed us to move our personnel without impacting our mission," said Bailey. "We sent our advanced team to set up operations and minimize impact on our contracting business."
The move to Sembach centrally locates all headquarter staff elements into one building. The unit was previously located in three geographically dispersed locations on Panzer and Kleber Kaserne, Germany.
"Consolidating the staff should reduce time away from work to attend meetings as they will be at one location," said Angela Fryer, property book officer, 409th CSB.
"Besides having the headquarters staff in one building, the amenities here at Sembach are pretty nice; it's definitely an upgrade," said Stacy Stewart, procurement analyst, 409th CSB.
