director, hands off the colors to Col. John P. Stack, the incoming commander of
U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart, during a change of command ceremony July 23.
ol. John P. Stack assumed
leadership of U.S. Army
Garrison Stuttgart from Col.
Carl D. Bird during a change of command ceremony held July 23 on the
Panzer Barracks’ parade field.
Bird, who took command of the
garrison on July 19, 2010, will now
serve as the assistant commandant at
the U.S. Army Quartermaster School
at Fort Lee, Va.
Under a brilliant blue, cloudless
sky, U.S. and German VIPs, colleagues,
garrison employees, friends and family
gathered to bid farewell to the former
garrison leader and welcome the new
commander.
Kathleen Marin, the Installation
Management Command Europe Region
director, presided over a ceremony that
included opera singer Robert Chafin,
a cousin of the outgoing commander,
who sang the U.S. and German anthems.
The 85th Army Band from Arlington Heights, Ill., shared the parade
grounds with a formation of Soldiers,
Sailors, Airmen and Marines, which
reflected the joint nature of the Stuttgart
military community.
Acknowledging the challenge of
overseeing an Army garrison in a joint
environment, Marin said that the mission is “as complex as it is important —
providing support to some of the most
important organizations championing
liberal democracy and security, like the
United States European Command and
United States Africa Command.”
Bird’s leadership, she said, ensured
that the garrison provided “the right
level of support at the right time … with
sustained excellence.”

Information fair to highlight local resources, services, clubs

t’s never easy settling into a new community.
That’s why if you’ve recently moved to the
Stuttgart military community, you may want
to attend the C.A.R.E. Fair.
The U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart’s annual Community Activities, Registration and Education Fair, set
for Aug. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Exchange
Shopping Mall on Panzer Kaserne, offers community
members the opportunity to learn about the many
programs and services available to them.
More than 60 garrison, fraternal and special interest organizations will be represented, from the health
and dental clinics to the German-American Women’s
Club to local PTA groups, according to Martha Povich, the events manager for USAG Stuttgart Family
and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

“The C.A.R.E. Fair offers community members
the opportunity to connect with one another, our
community resources and organizations, and share
information. It will help a newcomer transition more
easily into the best community in all of USAREUR
and help them discover who makes up the fabric of
what makes Stuttgart so great,” Povich said.
Visitors to the fair will be able to learn about employment, volunteer and educational opportunities,
local banking services and how to save money with
the Utility Tax Avoidance Program. Other groups,
such as the Stuttgart Community Spouses Club,
Mothers of Preschoolers, and the Piranhas swim team,
will also participate.
In addition, newcomers may discover some needed household items at the Family and MWR-hosted
flea market that will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
on the sidewalk outside of the Exchange. More than
40 families will participate.
Meet Paralympic swimmers at
the C.A.R.E. Fair
Stuttgart military community members
will also be able to meet the U.S. Paralympic
swim team during the C.A.R.E. Fair.
USAG Stuttgart was chosen by the Office
of the Assistant Secretary of Defense to host
the team Aug. 16-27 as it prepares for the 2012
Paralympic Games in London.
Nearly 4,000 athletes from almost 150
countries are expected to compete in 20 sports
at the 2012 Paralympic Games.

Commander’s Column
New garrison commander privileged to serve community
Commentary by Col. John P. Stack
USAG Stuttgart commander
F
irst, I’d like to say it is my privilege to
serve the units, service members, families,
civilians and retirees of this community.
I look forward to leading the garrison in delivering
services that exceed your expectations and set the standards
for other garrisons in Europe.
I want to thank the Stuttgart military community for
the warm welcome that my
family and I received at the
garrison change of command
ceremony last month. Thanks
Col. Stack
to all those who had a role in
the planning and execution of the event.
I was honored that so many key leaders, both
U.S. and German, took the time out of their busy
schedules to attend.
I’m learning that the garrison has great relationships with our host nation neighbors and partners,
and I look forward to forging even stronger associations in the future, as we work together to tackle
common problems.
Although my family and I have only been here

a short time, we already count ourselves very lucky
to live and work in such a great place, and we intend
to get out and enjoy this beautiful country and its
surroundings.
Like most service men and women in today’s
military, I have had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the world.
This travel and exposure to people across the
globe has enabled me to appreciate what Pulitzer
Prize winning author Thomas L. Friedman describes in his book, “The World is Flat”: that we
live in an increasingly globalized and interconnected world where inexpensive and robust transportation and communications technology allows us to
travel anywhere on the planet within hours and to
video conference with others within seconds.
This globalization requires us to work closer
than ever with other nations to effectively deal with
the myriad of challenges the world faces.
Both the U.S. Africa and European Commands
perform vital notes for our own nation in this
regard as they work tirelessly to maintain our critical alliances and forge close relations with nations
throughout Europe and Africa.
U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart is proud to support these endeavors by providing the Stuttgart
military community with safe and secure facilities.
But just as our increasingly globalized world
brings opportunities, it also presents challenges,
including the phenomenon of terrorism.
Being a part of an overseas installation requires
that we all work together to maintain good awareness and vigilance, and the garrison teams up
closely with installation units and organizations to
protect our service members and families.
This month, as the Army observes Antiterrorism Awareness Month, I urge community
members to focus on the importance of individual
situational awareness and protective measures,
and to become familiar with the Army iWATCH
and suspicious activity reporting procedures. You
can learn more on page 10 of this issue.
The garrison is also proud to provide many
quality services that enhance mission readiness.
In order to understand my staff, what they do and
what I can do to make their work more effective, I
have been frequenting garrison facilities and meeting
the workforce. I’m also meeting with unit commanders to gain a better appreciation of the challenges they
face and how we can support them.
I want to make things better, and I will certainly rely on feedback from units and community
members to help me and the hardworking garrison
workforce improve our delivery of service.
I consider the Interactive Customer Evaluation
program my weekly after action review of whether
or not we are providing the level of service expected of us. So please, use it as a tool to communicate with me and the garrison staff. Hard copy ICE
cards can be found at any of our facilities, or your
comments can be submitted online at
www.stuttgart.army.mil, under the “Feedback” tab.
When you visit the garrison website, you might
notice that we recently revamped it to improve information delivery of our great services, programs
and events.
And to help service members and their families navigate through the challenges of permanent
change of station moves, we’ve also improved how
we present relocation information on the web.
I encourage everyone to join us on our new
webpage and on Facebook. There is a lot of timely
and useful information to help you get the most of
your assignment to Germany.
Beyond a PCS move, service members also face
challenges when they transition out of the military. And as the military draws down over the next
several years, it is estimated that approximately
250,000 service members will separate.
As a result, the Defense Department recognized
the need for a redesigned Transition Assistance
Program to provide service members with the tools
and opportunities to be “career ready” for civilian
employment.
Currently a pilot program at seven stateside
installations, DOD and its agency partners will
coordinate the delivery of an improved Transition
Assistance Program to 250 military installations
worldwide. Stay tuned for details.
Thanks again for the warm reception. My family and I are thrilled to be here in Stuttgart, and we
look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Hundreds of fallen heroes honored
in annual Run to Remember
Story & photo by Mark J. Howell
S
gt. Jose “Pepe” Escobedo, of Albuquerque,
N.M., died of injuries suffered during a
non-combat operation in Iraq in 2009. But
he and hundreds of others who have fallen have not
been forgotten.
Veronica Carreon, a Heidelberg spouse who made
the trip to Stuttgart for the fourth annual Run to Remember, pinned a photo of Escobedo, her cousin, to
her shirt and loaded her iPod with his favorite music.
She credited him for helping her get through a 13.1
mile half-marathon.
“Around mile 10, I started to get really hot,”
Carreon said. “I said, Hey Pepe, where’s the rain?
And just a few minutes later, it did.”
More than 350 participants laced up for the half
marathon and 5K run, a collaborative event between
1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne),
and U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation — created to honor and
remember heroes who have fallen since 9/11.
Participants who signed up for the race were also
able to submit names of fallen heroes they wanted to
have recognized and included on the event T-shirt.
The names of 253 heroes were read (only 30 were
submitted the first year) and honored during a somber
pre-race opening ceremony, which was dedicated to
Master Sgt. Danial “Slim” Adams, a Stuttgart Soldier
who was killed in action on Sept. 13, 2011, and is the
most recent casualty of 1/10 SFG(A). Master Sgt.
Adams’ wife Melany ran this year’s half marathon
in his honor.
Morgan Mahlock, a Patch High School senior and
member of its cross country team, took first place
overall in the women’s 5K for the second year in a
row. She, along with many other runners, commented
that this year’s course was tougher than previous
years, as it included a long, steep hill just before the
final stretch.
“Half of it is mental,” Mahlock said. “Your body
has to be ready, but your mind needs to be in it, too.”
The idea for the event came from the minds of
1/10th Soldiers, who had over 100 runners participate
this year. The unit worked with Family and MWR to
create the first event in 2009 to recognize their fallen
comrades.
“We’ve been at war for so long, that almost all
of us know someone who has fallen in battle,” said
Capt. Anthony Heisler, Headquarters and Support
Company commander, 1/10th SFG(A). “I think an
event like this offers a great opportunity to honor
them and show solidarity.”
The 1/10th SFG(A) Family Support Group also
benefitted from the race by sponsoring a pre-race
pasta dinner and selling refreshments after the race,
which helped to raise funds for upcoming events,
added Heisler.
Due to its theme and the half marathon option,
the Run to Remember has become the most popular
annual running event in the Stuttgart military community, according to Family and MWR officials.
“It’s a very moving event,” said Carreon, who
came from Heidelberg and ran to remember her cousin
“Pepe.” “Every community should do something
like this.”

Items that contain lithium batteries can
now be mailed to the States via military
mail, however they may not be mailed here.
This is due to the type of aircraft being
used to move the mail. From Germany to
the U.S., military aircraft are used, while
commercial flights are used to bring mail to
Europe.
The May 16 ban issued by the International Civil Aviation Authority that prohibits
the shipping of lithium batteries applies to
commercial aircraft.
If shipping items with lithium batteries to
the U.S., there is a specific process to follow.
When labeling the box for mailing, your
CMR address cannot be used as the return address. Instead, you must use a valid stateside
address, different from the one being used as
for the recipient. This applies to all states, except Alaska, which will remain under the ban.
The U.S. Postal Service anticipates that
on Jan. 1, 2013, the International Civil Aviation Authority ban will be lifted and customers will be able to mail specific quantities of
lithium batteries internationally (to include
APO addresses). Officials warn that this is
subject to change.
For specific details and further instructions, visit your Army Post Office.

Ask a JAG

edition of The Citizen? If so, contact “Ask a
JAG” at [email protected].
By Capt. Andrew Rouchka (U.S. Army)
Stuttgart Law Center
Q: I need to get a personal cell phone.
Should I sign a contract or buy a prepaid
phone?
A: From a legal perspective, your safest bet
is to buy a prepaid phone because you won’t
form a binding legal relationship with your
provider. However, your personal needs may
warrant a contract that can save you money
in the long run, especially if you want a smart
phone. Be careful though, as there are some
common pitfalls.
Under German law, a contract renews
automatically unless a party cancels it. You’ll
make an expensive mistake if you assume that
a two-year contract, which just covers your
tour in Germany, lasts for only two years. The
two-year period means simply that neither party is allowed to cancel for the first two years.
Normally, you can cancel the contract with
written notice at least three months before the
contract is up for renewal. In fact, you could
submit your cancellation notice on the first
day of the contract, but if you wait until the
last day you’ll be on the hook for another year.
Please note, this applies to other contracts, as
well (e.g., discount cards for German trains,
or “Bahncards”).
You could also find yourself in a jam if
you lose or break your phone, as this does not
release you from your contractual obligations or
allow you to cancel the contract early. Also, the
company will probably replace the SIM card
for a fee, but you’ll have to buy a new phone
unless you have insurance that will pay for it.
We recommend for several reasons that
you carefully read any contract before signing
it. First, the companies change their contracts
constantly, offering promotions but sometimes
also charging fees or limiting your ability to
cancel. Second, you cannot rely on what the
salesperson tells you, especially if it conflicts
with a clause of the contract. Third, you’ll be
held to the terms of the contract, whether you
read and understand it or not. Take the time
to get it translated if necessary and make sure
you know what you’re signing.
Finally, don’t assume you’ll be able to terminate the contract early with military orders.
Here in Germany, without the protections of
the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, you’re
left with the terms of your individual contract.
Some contracts contain a “military clause,”
but most do not.
In summary, your decision depends on
your individual needs and circumstances. You
might save money using a contract, but make
sure you know what you’re getting into.
This column is not intended as individual
or specific legal advice. If you have specific
issues or concerns, you should consult a judge
advocate at 421-4152/civ. 0711-729-4152.

During an era of increased scrutiny in military
spending, Marin commended Bird’s achievements in
adapting garrison operations to increase its efficiency
and effectiveness.
“Carl … understands the importance of making
intelligent investments for sustainable prosperity not
only today, but also tomorrow,” she said.
Marin detailed Bird’s money-saving accomplishments that have saved the garrison over $1.2 million:
the replacement of steam heating lines and water
lines; the installation of LED street lights, and motion
detection lights in public toilets and administrative
facility hallways, and the reduction of inefficiencies
in weekend operations at the Patch Barracks Dining
Facility.
“Managing a garrison of this size and complexity
cannot be done alone,” Marin said. She added that
Bird’s spouse Hope was a valued partner with an
exceptional record of service — active as a Girl Scout
leader, a volunteer for Army Community Service, and
a senior advisor to the American Red Cross, United
Service Organizations and the German-American
Women’s Club.
Marin thanked both for their service to military
members and their families.
“Your service is a source of inspiration for me
personally and for many of us here,” she said.
She then welcomed Stack and his wife Petrina,
and children Mikeal, Dalton and Liz.
Marin said that while Stack brings a global perspective and proven leadership skills to the garrison,
“ … there is no more challenging time than now to
lead an Army garrison, especially in Europe.
“I’ll expect you to ask the questions as you chart
a course for the future here in the Stuttgart, and take
up the mantle of leadership in this chapter of the
Stuttgart legacy.”
In his farewell address, Bird started by recounting a lighthearted story about his dog Casey. Soon,
though, his voice cracked with emotion as he credited
the accomplishments of the garrison to the support he
received from the leaders of EUCOM, AFRICOM,
U.S. Army Europe, IMCOM Europe, the tenant units
and surrounding German communities.
He also acknowledged the efforts of the garrison
employees. “The garrison is staffed by professionals
who understand their mission is to deliver superior
services and support to the community. I’d like to give
my whole-hearted thanks to my directors who make
that happen on a daily basis through the dedication
and hard work of all their employees,” said Bird.
Bird turned the podium over to Stack, who
thanked the guests, family and friends for attending,
as well as the Birds for their leadership and commitment to the Stuttgart military community.
Stack said he was eager to begin his mission.
“I look forward to forging a great working relationship with all the organizations and units in this
community, as well as with our German partners
throughout Stuttgart. I am also looking forward to
leading this hard-working garrison team,” he said.
Stack is not new to garrison operations, having
served as garrison commander of Picatinny Arsenal,
N.J., from 2007 to 2010.

What’s a single service member to do? Join BOSS!
By Megan Clancy
Special to The Citizen
S
ervice members looking to expand their
horizons beyond the walls of the barracks
may want to consider Better Opportunities
for Single Service Members.
The U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart BOSS program
is open to all services and ranks, enlisted or officers,
whether active duty or reservists.
“There are approximately 600 service members
who are eligible to participate in BOSS,” said Steve
Dunlap, the BOSS advisor, of the Stuttgart military
community. “Anyone who is a single service member
or who is unaccompanied — married but without his
or her family — is eligible for BOSS.”
While BOSS is an official Army program, the
program in Stuttgart is a bit different from other bases
because it also serves Airmen, Marines and Sailors.
BOSS offers a variety of trips, recreational services
and community service activities for singles to participate in. Many of the events are subsidized, meaning
little or no out-of pocket expenses for participants.
Last month, BOSS held an evening social sponsored by the Sindelfingen Marriott Hotel, complete
with cocktails, dinner and dancing, for a mere $5
cover charge. “The food is good,” said Marine Cpl.
Julius A. Griffin, 22, who serves as the BOSS representative for Marines stationed here.
“I feel that the Marines serve singles well, and I’m
here to make sure that the single service member’s
life in Germany is well,” he said.
And that is essentially what the BOSS program
does: strive to increase the overall quality of single
service members’ lives.
“BOSS is important because it gives single Soldiers a voice, especially when it comes to barracks
living,” Dunlap said. Barracks improvement initiatives, thanks to the BOSS program, have made big
differences in the lives of single service members.
“BOSS fixed a lot of things,” Dunlap said.
BOSS members also give back to the community
through activities such as setting up flea markets
and cooking for wounded warriors at the Landstuhl
Regional Medical Center.
This month, BOSS participants will help set up the
Community Activity, Registration and Education Fair,
and on Sept. 21, they will assist in running Outdoor
Recreation’s Amazing Race event, Dunlap said.
BOSS meetings are held twice a month in the
Warrior Zone in the Swabian Special Events Center
on Patch Barracks — on the second and last Tuesday
every month at 3 p.m. All single service members are
invited to attend.
Participants discuss upcoming events and community service projects, and address quality of life
concerns during the meetings, Dunlap said. Those issues are forwarded to the garrison command sergeant
major for review and resolution.

VBS encourages kids to reach for the sky
By Megan Clancy
Special to The Citizen
U
sually Patch Elementary
School is pretty quiet this
time of year … the desks
are empty, the public address system
silent, the bulletin boards blank.
Yet laughter echoed through the
halls as 221 children and 110 volunteers were in constant motion during
the garrison-sponsored Vacation Bible
School for 5- to 11-year-olds, held July
30 to Aug. 3 at the school.
“The best part of VBS is seeing
children happy, smiling, remembering
different Bible stories and various Bible
verses, and going home ... helping their
parents learn about God,” said James
Sciegel, the U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart Religious Education Director.
This year’s theme at the nondenominational VBS was “Sky — Everything is possible with God.” Airplanes,
clouds and balloons were everywhere
in support of the theme.
Each three hour session started with
an opening sing along session. Then the
children, divided into 24 “flight crews”
of varying ages, rotated through stations that included hands-on activities,
videos, Bible stories and discussion,
games and a snack, before the groups
came back together for a closing song.
In addition, children were able to
contribute funds to Portions for Orphans — a not-for-profit organization
focused on improving the quality of
care provided to orphans — by doing
chores or projects and donating the
money, Sciegel said.
Each day, the children learned “Bible
points” to help them relate to God in their
own lives. For example, on Wednesday,
the phrase to remember was: “No matter
what people do, trust God.”
Samantha Stachitas, 8, took it a step
Susan Huseman
Volunteers hold up a hula hoop as Wesley Holbeck, 9, prepares to launch a
balloon filled with “God’s love” through the hoop, which symbolizes worldly
distractions, while Lilly Eveland, 6, and Colby Waters, 8, wait their turns during
the RSO-sponsored Vacation Bible School July 31.
further. “No matter how you feel and
what people do, trust God!” she said, in
response to what she had just learned.
One of the most popular stations
was Chadder’s Theater, where children watched videos about Chadder,
a mischievous talking chipmunk, and
his adventures.
Volunteers Linda Sanborn and
Jessica Cassidy then led the children
through discussions to make sure they
got the message of each video.
At another station, blue balloons
were filled with “God’s love” and
launched through hula hoops.
“Last year was more focused on arts
and crafts, but this year is more handson,” said volunteer Christy Benitez,
whose two daughters begged to come
back to VBS again this year.
“It’s is a good program for children.
My kids get excited every morning,
asking what is next?” she said.
Benitez said that she thinks the sky
theme is great, and that it makes the
kids think big. “With God, there are no
limits,” she added.
Chester Johnston, 7, also returned
because of his experience last year. “I
wanted to come back for the second
time this year because it is fun. I like the
games ... I like Orville the pig because
I’m a fan of pigs.”
His brother, Henry, 12, volunteered,
and found himself playing “Flash
Skyrunner,” a pilot in training, in the
closing skit.
“I love to act, and it is the best feeling in the world,” Henry said.
His material, however, was not
the easiest to work with. “It’s hard to
memorize Bible quotes ...,” he said.
For volunteer and mom MarieChristine Kemp, VBS has been a way
to introduce her children to a new
community.
“We have moved 13 times in 20
years. Being involved in the chapel
helps my children to stay busy making
new friends,” she said.
The USAG Stuttgart Religious
Support Office was able to provide
VBS thanks in part to funding from the
Department of Defense, but the majority of funds were generated through
offerings collected during Protestant
and Catholic services, according to
Religious Education Director Sciegel.
In a change from previous years,
VBS was limited to Patch Barracks.
The decision to forego VBS at Robinson Barracks was a difficult one, and
the result of RSO staff downsizing,
funding and logistical difficulties,
Sciegel said.
Alternative school supplies
W
hen shopping for school supplies, consider some healthy,
environmentally-friendly alternatives.
Ink pens, markers, correction fluids and gel pens can often
contain solvents and other harmful ingredients. It’s better to select
water-based pens and pens with refill systems.
Non-enameled graphite and colored pencils made of wood
are also a good choice. White-board pens and permanent markers
often contain harmful chemicals and should be avoided.
Glues should be solvent-free
and water-based; spray adhesives
that contain gases and solvents
shouldn’t be used.
Wooden rulers, cotton lunch
bags, leather pencil cases and
erasers made of natural caoutchouc
are great alternatives.
Choose notebooks and folders
made of recycled paper and nonchlorine bleach. Whenever possible
avoid plastics; items made from

recycled paper, wood, or even recyDirectorate of Public Works

Time is an important factor when emergency care is required.
Beneficiaries of U.S. Army Health Clinic
Stuttgart are reminded that the facility is not
staffed or equipped as an emergency clinic
and it does not provide an ambulance service.
A medical emergency is one in which life,
limb or eyesight may be in immediate danger
and time may be a critical factor.
To avoid a delay in treatment, patients requiring emergency care should go to the nearest
host nation facility or call for an ambulance.
You can call the German ambulance
service direct (civ. 112), but to guarantee an
English speaker, call the U.S. Army Garrison
Stuttgart Military Police. On post, dial 114 or
116; off post, call civ. 0711-680-114/116.
The MPs will contact the German ambulance service and a Host Nation Patient Liaison. If your emergency is on an installation,
the MPs will also meet the ambulance at the
gate and escort it onto the installation.
German first responders will triage and
transport the patient to the nearest emergency
room that can treat the injury or condition.

ol. Joanna J. Reagan assumed command of
U.S. Army Health Clinic Stuttgart during
a ceremony held July 10 on Patch Barracks that also honored the service of the outgoing
commander, Col. Lawrence B. Connell.
Connell, who served as clinic commander since
2010, will now take an assignment as the chief of
staff for the Pacific Region Medical Command in
Honolulu, Hawaii.
The new clinic commander is a graduate of Montana State University, and also holds degrees from
Chapman University, Texas Women’s University and
the Army War College.
Reagan’s most recent assignment was as the
deputy commander for the Administration/Troop
Commander at General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
Her past assignments also include stints at Tripler
Army Medical Center, Hawaii; Womack Army Medical Center, Fort Bragg, N.C.; and Walter Reed Army
Medical Center, Washington, D.C.
Connell said he was proud of a number of accomplishments during his tenure, including “opening the
Kelley Clinic Annex on Kelley Barracks, as well as
increased patient satisfaction and customer support
to the Stuttgart military community.”
As of July 15, the Stuttgart clinic falls under the
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, which in turn
is part of the Europe Regional Medical Command.
The clinic has a staff of approximately 125 and serves

Antiterrorism
Terrorism can hit close to home, even in Stuttgart community
By Shay Edwards
USAG Stuttgart Antiterrorism Office
vised explosive devices), or a vehicle with multiple
propane tanks and large containers or gas cans, in a
parking lot. It could be a vehicle-borne improvised
explosive device.
Anything that seems odd or out of place should be
reported to the Military Police immediately.
S
ome people may think that a terrorist attack can’t occur in Stuttgart, but terrorism
remains a threat everywhere, even here.
In 2007, the U.S. intelligence interception of
suspicious communications between Pakistan and
Stuttgart led to the arrest of three suspected Muslim
militants accused of plotting massive car bomb attacks
against Americans.
According to a Sept. 7, 2007, Los Angeles Times
news story, “The suspects wanted to kill as many
Americans as possible in the process, officials said.
“Probable targets of their alleged plan to build
three car bombs were crowded bars, nightclubs, restaurants and airports. They chose Germany because it
was their home turf and because of the large population of Americans around military bases.”
Then in 2009, the Stuttgart state court convicted
three men for being members of a Turkish leftist
group and supporting terrorist activities. All three
were leaders in the outlawed Revolutionary People’s
Liberation Party-Front, according to Deutsche Welle,
a German broadcasting conglomerate.
And last year in March, Arid Uka shot four U.S.
Airmen outside the Frankfurt Airport, killing two
of them.
Uka became radicalized on his own by reading
and watching jihadist propaganda on the Internet.
During his trial, “He testified he wanted to stop
U.S. service personnel from going to Afghanistan
after viewing a video on Facebook that purported to
show American Soldiers raping a teenage Muslim
girl. It turned out to be a scene from the 2007 Brian
De Palma anti-war film “Redacted,” taken out of
context,” according to an Associated Press report.
While the attack occurred in Frankfurt, it could
have easily been perpetrated by a worker at the
Stuttgart Airport.
One can conclude that terrorist groups exist

in Stuttgart, and that lone wolf actors are a threat
anywhere.
This information is not presented to scare people,
but rather to open their eyes to the possibility of a
terrorist attack occurring in their own community.
To prevent this, ensure you are aware of what
constitutes suspicious activity and how to report it.
Know the indicators of possible
terrorist activities
Some common indicators of suspicious activity are
people asking questions about security forces on post
or taking pictures of U.S. personnel or installations,
and abandoned packages or backpacks left in heavily
populated areas or near bus stops and train stations.
Unusual indicators of suspicious activity include
strong odors coming from a building, vehicle or sewer
grate (indicating explosives), fire extinguishers that
have been moved or are out of place (possible impro-
Reporting suspicious activity is critical because
it helps to focus both U.S. and German intelligence
assets.
People often rationalize that what they are witnessing is benign, and tell themselves that they are
overreacting.
But every report of suspicious activity is important
and may save lives.
While a single person acting suspiciously or
asking suspicious questions may seem unimportant,
consider the possibility that your report may be the
second or third of a suspicious person or odd activity
in the area.
If a report is made fast enough so that MPs or
German Polizei can respond to the incident and
interview the suspicious person — even if after the
fact — then a clear message is sent to the person that
they are being observed.
If they are planning terrorist criminal activity, such
a confrontation could discourage them from pursuing
an attack in the area.
Do your part to secure the community: know,
recognize, and report suspicious activity.
To report anything suspicious, contact the local
MPs at 430-5262 as soon as possible.
A report can also be made online at the U.S. Army
Garrison Stuttgart homepage at www.stuttgart.army.
mil, by clicking on the iWatch or iSalute icon and
submitting the report electronically.
For more information on identifying suspicious
activity, online training is available at https://atlevel1.
