News for the Ramstein, Kaiserslautern, Landstuhl & Baumholder military communities in Germany Fiscal Year 2005 to 2006 was a banner year for the 435th Mission

college is right for me? One possible solution to this daunting
question could be the United States Air Force Academy.
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.
Airmen are better prepared than ever before to meet the challenges of
today
