What are the posts Tankers can go to in Germany??

Not one person knows or can answer???

Thanks

Truthfully, I'm not sure. I understand there have been some changes even in the last few years.

However, since discussing units and locations would be a violation of both OPSEC and the rules of the board, I'm not sure how precisely one 'in the know' could answer your question and stay within the rules. Hence, the lack of responses.

Generally, you'll be in southern Germany, near fairly sizable cities (as opposed to the Cold War locations in small towns near the old East-West border). You'll be about four hours driving from the Alps, and have some of the most pleasent people in Germany as neighbors (IMHO).

Any other questions? I spent 7 years (High School in Frankfurt and a tour at Wurzburg) there, hated it for a month or two and then loved every minute thereafter.

My first assignment in the Regular Army.

I was there from 98-00. Seems like there were only 2 or 3 even then. 1-35 AR BN was in Baumholder. That was my unit. Hohenfels was the maneuver training center, they had some tanks there for training. M-60s then. Seems like there was one more place but maybe not. Sorry I am not more up to date.

That list makes me cry. Pinder and went to Darby and Bamberg a lot.

'ghost:

I was just reading thru your lengthy list...didn't really dawn on me back in May, when I read in the first time, but...there were quite a few barracks/kasernes named the same, with sometime being 2,3, or even 4 different "posts" throughout Germany with the same name. I was stationed at Bismarck Kaserne in Katterbach, just outside Ansbach...there is a Bismarck Kaserne on the above list at Schwaebisch Gmund...yet the last time I checked, the Bismarck Kaserne I was familiar with was still a viable, and occupied, post (containing elements of 1st ID). 1st AD elements left there in the early to mid 80s when 1/37 Armor left for Vilseck. The Army Airfield across the road still belonged to 1st AD until after Desert Storm, as 1st AD HQ was still at Hindenburg Kaserne in Ansbach, which they vacated shortly thereafter for Bad Kreuznach; then, on to Wiesbaden, where they are today. Onwards to Fort Bliss in the next 1-3 years.

Wouldn't surprise me - Ole Bismarck is kinda the father of Modern 20th Century Germany... Kinda like Washington's name showing up on cities, counties, states and schools . . .
