Retiree Activities Office
Your Retiree Affairs Office wants you! It is our mission to serve our retiree community – but we rely on our volunteer staff to do so. Volunteering can mean as little as one day a week for a four-hour block.
The RAO is open Mon 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Tues/Wed/Thurs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and closed for lunch from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. We are located in Building 2118, Room 138 next to the VAT Office. Please visit our website here: https://www.ramstein.af.mil/Contact/Retiree-Activities-Program/ for factsheets and recent RAO Newsletters on navigating being a retiree in Germany.
Routine questions can be sent via email, but we ask that you make an appointment for specific subjects such as pre-death planning/surviving spouse issues and or Retiring in Germany. For appointments either call during office hours at 06371-47-5486, and/or send us an email to: 86aw.rao@us.af.mil. Any problems making contact, please email your Acting Director, retired Chief Master Sgt. Jim Barrante at: jim.barrante@gmail.com.
RAO is in need of a new volunteer director. This position is open to retirees who are interested in a dynamic opportunity to serve our KMC retiree community. Contact the RAO at 86aw/rao@us.af.mil for more information.
Motor vehicles registration update
Headquarters USAREUR-AF Registry of Motor Vehicles. We will temporarily halt the issuance of temporary tags to personnel in the KMC. All temporary tags for Kaiserslautern will be processed through the Kapaun FRS. This change does not affect personnel with “BIR” plates as you must still process through the local Field Registration Station for your community. Personnel in outlying communities will continue to process as previously directed.

ATTN: Those packing up, leaving the KMC
Many members wait too long to begin the household goods moving process, thereby causing additional stress and delays. The 86th Logistics Readiness Squadron Personal Property Office advises movers to call them at +49-631-536-7727 three weeks before moving to begin the booking process.
