BAUMHOLDER, Germany – U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz held a town hall and information forum at the Rheinlander Community Club on Smith Barracks, March 20. The quarterly event provides a platform for residents to engage directly with garrison leadership.
USAG Rheinland-Pfalz Deputy Garison Manager Mark Colbrook, who manages daily operations in Baumholder on behalf of the garrison commander, emphasized the importance of community feedback and engagement.
"We want to hear from you,” Colbrook said. “Tell us what's working, what's not. By working together and listening to your feedback, we can identify challenges and find effective solutions.”
Attendees in-person and those who watched via Facebook livestream received updates on current projects and initiatives shaping the future of Baumholder, as well as information about upcoming programs and services designed to enhance quality of life.
"Don't hesitate to ask the garrison command team anything that's on your mind,” Colbrook said. “We're dedicated to supporting you and, while we can't promise instant fixes to every problem, we can promise to work hard to find solutions for you."
Col. Jeffery Higgins, USAG Rheinland-Pfalz commander, stressed the importance of open communication with the Baumholder military community.
"Our focus is ensuring access to essential services that keep you mission-ready and provides support for your families,” said Higgins. “We are committed to transparency and prioritizing open communication with community members as we work together to adapt and thrive."
Of U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz’s 28 geographically separated sites throughout Germany, Baumholder is the only location that offers the entire package of garrison services, including an Army Air Force Exchange Service store, a commissary, an indoor swimming pool, a United Services Organization center, two dining facilities, on-post housing and barracks, medical and dental facilities, a gas station, a thrift store, child care facilities and Department of Defense Education Activity schools.
