Europe Region Garrison – Site Concept q Goal: Reduce the Cost of Stationing U. S. Forces in Europe v The Region ASG/ BSB C 2 structure dates back to the 80 s / does not fit into today’s fiscal reality v We maintain too many garrisons / sites (overhead) for the number of units/personnel stationed in Europe v A number of past closures / stationing actions did not achieve max savings i. e. USAG Franconia q Strategy: v Reevaluated the region C 2 Structure to flatten the hierarchical layers v Standardized the ratio of the Supporting Garrison workforce to Supported population @ 1 to 25 (which is closer to the CONUS average ratio of 1 to 27, OCONUS Avg was 1 to 16) v Incorporated Higher HQs guidance on reduction targets /reuse of auth to eliminate over-hires v Developed staff functional models to standardize garrison position reductions v Apply Business rules to set parameters to the GC’s reduction efforts 7 (COL) Direct Report Garrisons Converted or Closed 12 (LTC) Indirect Report Garrisons GARRISON TO SITE --- BUSINESS RULES q C 2 is streamlined so overhead is reduced v v v Brussels (FY 12) BENELUX Schinnen (FY 12) BAVARIA Garmisch (FY 12) ANSBACH WIESBADEN Baumholder (FY 14) STUTTGART Mannheim Heidelberg Parent Garrison Staff Support Team visits sites periodically q q Region template for standardization of special staff manning HHDs only at DR garrisons (1 HHD for Region Option) 6 LTC Garrisons convert to sites under their parent garrison Warehousing & off post / non-AFH Leases a major target Minimize the number of UICs Determine right location for GC and Staff 2 ½ Years to execute the reduction---so no RIFs 114 Active Sites today Bamberg Schweinfurt Darmstadt Garrison To Site Conversions Garrison Closures * v v v RHEINLAND-PFALZ Hohenfels (FY 14) Parent Garrison Div Chiefs supervise site functional workforce q Don’t Impact front door services q Protect CLS operating hours q Prudent Risk / Minimum Staffing for Mngt Overhead VICENZA Livorno (FY 12) GS-14 Garrison Mgrs replace LTC CDRs / Special Staff Giessen BENELUX 55 FY 06= Returned 7 Sites FY 07= Returned 29 Sites FY 08= Returned 26 Sites FY 09= Returned 20 Sites FY 10= Returned 8 Sites FY 11= Returned 6 Sites FY 12= Returned 6 Sites FY 13 = Returned 10 Sites FY 14= Returned 10 Sites FY 15= Plan to return 11 Sites Bernard Walker/IMEU-MWA/314. 544. 9233/Bernard. d. walker. civ@mail. mil * The Closure List does not include the closure and conversion of three COL Level Commands (USAG BW 5/ KL to RP, USAG Hanau to Wiesbaden, USAG Franconia to Ansbach).
