We are proud
to say that we are located in one of the safest cities in Germany, which has
world-class services, recreation, as well as an extensive public transportation
system. We seek and maintain excellent working relationships with all Host
Nation municipalities surrounding our installations. All of these items help
enhance the wellness of our community members.USAG Stuttgart has approximately
25,000 community members. To put our population in perspective, the National
League of Cities data shows that over 90% of municipal governments in the U.S.
have populations under 25,000. We are a large municipality.
Like large
municipalities, we are service providers. However, USAG Stuttgart is
responsible for providing services that civilian municipalities are not chartered
to provide such as the sustainment, restoration, and modernization of all
facilities within our installation borders. Unlike most municipalities, USAG
Stuttgart also funds all utilities services within our footprint.
Along with
these Base Operations Support services, we also provide over 240 services to
community members on a daily basis. These services range from Family and Youth
programs, to Fitness centers, to housing and vehicle services, to ensuring our
community's well-being, safety and shelter.
