Was only there from July 90 through January 91. I was in 4/14FA. We were part of the first units to be deactivated from Germany. I really thought I would be moved to a unit that was going to Desert Storm but myself and a few others that only been in country for a short time was sent back to the U.S.
I was stationed at Warner Barracks from November 1978 until September 1981 as a Field Artillery Office with the 2-78 FA. We supported the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division. I loved the area, my unit, and the German people.
Am looking for anybody who might have served at Warner Barracks with David (George) Langlie in 1965-1967. Pls reply to davlaw625@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.
Stationed with the 3rd Infantry Division in 1959-61. Most of my pals are gone now. Bamberg was an incredible experience for this young PFC. Did my duty and returned to the U.S. via the USNS Rose. G.I. bill helped me graduate from the University of New Mexico in 1973.
Between Aug of 1980 to the year of
1981 I lived as Military Dependent at the First Apartment Building, on Ulm Straße. My Father was known by some of the younger soldiers as fast Freddie. SFC Freddie L Pfaff Sr. Too, I was enrolled in the month of August at the Barron’s MS/HS, wow was ever young, just 16½ years old.
I have fond hanging out at Youth Dependent Activity Center (YDAC), also frequenting the Rec. Center, the Cafeteria for some Pinball.
Would there be “anyone” whose family may have been posted there during the early 1980s? Possibly recalling the life as MD (Military Dependent), including the other classmates and faculty too. In the least, I am able to recall VIVIDLY every detail, of our apartment, location of the classrooms, my teachers. So many faces flood my memories, faces unforgotten but some names are vague yet still. Well…in less than 3 months this former dependent will be turning 60 yrs of age.
Sincerely, Freddie L Pfaff Jr.

Jerry you were on a com. 88 write? My name is David robinson I was also in a com maint . Hope you read this you are the first person I have found and I have been looking a long time
I served at Warner Barracks II from Oct 1974 to 11 November, 1977 as a platoon leader in G Trp, 2/2 ACR for a year, then XO of E Trp, 2/2 ACR for 6 months and then a year as Support Platoon Leader in HHT, 2/2 ACR. We spent 8 months out of each year either on border patrol duty, out in the field on training maneuvers, or at tank gunnery at Grafenwohr and Hohenfels. All of my Troop Commanders were Vietnam Veterans and were excellent. All of the 2/2 ACR Sergeants in the rank of SSG or above were Vietnam Vets and very professional ”lifers”. I learned just about everything I needed to know about being a good leader from those sergeants. I ran into several of them later in my Army career at stateside posts. Bamberg was a great place to serve. Loved the Rauch Bier (smoked beer) gasthaus down by the rathaus in the old city center. Went back there in 2002, 25 years after leaving in 1977, Some things hadn’t changed much but other things were gone completely. One of the old motor pools and tank/SP artillery parking areas was no longer there but was paved over and a memorial to the Bamberg soldiers killed in the Gulf War in 1991. Warner Barracks II was no longer a cavalry outfit but was field artillery. The place was like a ghost town as most of the unit was gone. My old Support Platoon motor pool hadn’t changed much at all–same fuel pumps were there!!! Charles J. Barr

In light of events, now…maybe it was a DUMB idea of O’Bummer to close it down
“Mission First!” Then “Rock’s Support!”
I visited on June 2022. I tried to enter the main gate but a German Policewomen told us it a German Police Academy (part of it.) Part of the post is used to house refugees. I was stationed there 1972-1974. The area where the PX was is all being demolished and rebuilt. The barracks by the main gate are all there and that’s where the police academy is. Sad to see.
Hi Jerry, regrettably they are not used by the US Army anymore. German Federal Police uses about 85% of it, a small section (old housing area) is used to host refugees, maybe 10% (Lagarde Kaserne on Zollner Straße) is currently developed by the city of Bamberg to build housing and start-up businesses.

Nice pages! Thank you for putting this together. Btw, unless you’re retired with absolutely no responsibilities at home, you do not want to leave the United States at the moment, as a negative Covid test is required for re-entry, even if you’re fully vaccinated.
