USAG Stuttgart | Base Overview & Info (2024)

Panzer Kaserne (literally tank barracks) is located in Böblingen, Germany and a part of USAG Stuttgart. The post is administered by U.S. Army Installation Command-Europe (IMCOM-Europe), a legacy from its use as an Army installation since just after World War II. Panzer Kaserne hosts the headquarters of U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe Africa (MARFOREURAF) and various Special Operations units of the Army and Navy supporting EUCOM and AFRICOM.

Patch Barracks was renamed from the German Kurmärker Kaserne in1952 and is located in Vaihingen (Stuttgart). It was originally built for use by the German Army (Heer) in 1936-1937.During World War II, it served as the headquarters and barracks for the Wehrmacht's 7th Panzer Regiment, with associated unit shooting ranges and training areas located at the nearby Panzer Kaserne.

Kelley Barracks (formerly Helenen Kaserne) is headquarters of United States Africa Command and is located in Stuttgart-Mõhringen. In September 1949 Helenen Kaserne was renamed by Brigadier General Arnold J. Funk to the Kelley Barracks in honor of Staff Sergeant Jonah E. Kelley of the 78th Infantry Division, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for actions occurring at Kesternich, Germany in January 1945 during the Battle of Kesternich. From 1951 until 1992 VII Corps was headquartered at the base. In February 2007, Kelley Barracks was designated to house Transition Team of United States Africa Command and became the permanent headquarters when the command was activated on 1 October 2008.

Military Shuttle Bus

The Stuttgart military community operates a shuttle bus service to and from Patch Barracks, Kelley Barracks, Panzer Kaserne, Robinson Barracks and the Stuttgart Army Airfield. A current bus schedule will be provided at the briefing during initial inprocessing at the Central Processing Facility. The shuttle bus service is free to all DOD ID card holders.

Taxis

There are two cab systems in Stuttgart; taxis and "cars". The taxis carry the taxi sign and the vehicles are all off-white in color. The other cab services cost a bit less, but you must always call to order them - very much like a limousine service. Tips are included in the taxi fare. You can either round off the fare to the next highest Euro for a small tip of change, or give a couple Euro if desired.

German Buses, Trolleys and Subways

The German public transportation system is excellent. The services run throughout the day and late into the night and are quite economical. The local community has numerous bus, trolley and subway lines that connect the outlying villages with downtown Stuttgart and with other villages. The connections are convenient and timely. All military installations have local transportation stops nearby. The Army Community Service Center offers Host Nation Orientation which includes instruction on using German transportation.

Uber

Uber is now available in the Stuttgart area and may be accessed through the Uber app.
