I am getting ready to receive orders, branch offered me Smith Barracks, Germany. I am extremely happy with the chance to go back to Germany, just curious about what type of ADA unit is over there. If anyone has any experience, let me know. TIA.

I'd love to get back to Germany. We had Patriots, Chaparrals and Vulcans when I was there. The Patriot battalion lived on Bitburg AB. No idea what they have now. Good luck on the PCS and assignment.

I was in Baumholder for three years great location about 20 minutes from Ramstein also near Trier and Luxembourg. Also about a 3 1/2 hour drive to Paris. I don’t know any ADA specifics I just know Smith barracks back when they had a BCT. Obviously that is no longer the case just ADA and EOD type of units I believe. Anyways enjoy “the rock” and running cardiac 1 and 2!!!!

SFC Arguello the unit that is ADA at Smith Barracks is 5-7 ADA. Baumholder is very small and to enjoy Germany you have to get out of Baumholder. You are 20 minutes from Ramstain and 45 minutes from K-town.

Thanks! 5-7 ADA, I will continue to research the unit. Looking forward to getting back to the line.
