ANSBACH, Germany (February 6, 2025) - USAG Ansbach Commander Col. Aaron Southard hosted the annual Garrison Commander's Reception to celebrate the Army's 250th anniversary of U.S. military service and 80 years of German-American partnership. As many as 100 host nation dignitaries and U.S. Army personnel gathered at the Von Steuben Community Center on Bismarck Kaserne.
At this event, CoL. Southard took the opportunity to brief those in attendance of the current state and investments of the garrison and presented the plan for 2025.
"For 2025, we will also honor some of our shared history," Southard said. "For example, later this month we will commemorate the 1945 bombing of Ansbach - as a reminder of the past and a call to cherish the peace we have built together." This commemoration is planned to be a joint wreath laying ceremony with the City of Ansbach.
