News for the Ramstein, Kaiserslautern, Landstuhl & Baumholder military communities in Germany 
I often observe our aeromedical evacuation squadron, contingency
aeromedical staging facility, and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center
personnel assisting injured servicemembers. As the primary aeromedical
hub for OEF and OIF, several thousand patients were aeromedically
evacuated in and out of Ramstein and I try and visit as many of the
wounded arriving or departing Ramstein as possible.
When the National Security Act of 1947 created a separate and
independent Air Force, it was not the result of one man
On June 8, U.S. Army, Europe celebrated 65 years of unbroken service to the nation.
The most obvious way to save money on gasoline is not to drive at all.
Although public transportation is offered in many locations and bicycle

Today I went to the Ramstein Library to see about checking out a
book. I was told I had to fill out paperwork to do so. The paperwork
