About

Ansbach has been a garrison city since the end of the 2nd World War and is the governmental capital of Middle Franconia. Ansbach is a beautiful city with a rich history. Margrave’s Palace, the Orangerie and Park, and the Kasper-Hauser-Memorial are just a few of the many historical sights located here.

USAG Ansbach provides comprehensive base operations support to tactical units and individual residents of the community. The USAG Commander’s vision is: WE ARE PART of the FIGHT, the Garrison and the Community it supports can and must be a Combat Multiplier:
A positive message from a secure home front means increased lethality in the GWOT
Setting the right conditions and standards ensures a deployable Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) more rapidly.

Location:
Ansbach is located in the northern part of Bavaria, approximately 117 miles southeast of Frankfurt and 26 miles southwest of Nuernberg. U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Ansbach consists of three separate U.S. installations and one satellite installation. Barton Barracks in Ansbach is the Headquarters Kaserne. Katterbach and Bismarck Kasernes are located in the village of Katterbach, three miles from Ansbach. Shipton Kaserne is the post’s training area and URLAS (right next to Shipton) is an on-going project – housing area, temporary lodging and also the new home of our Commissary and PX. Storck Barracks, located just outside the village of Illesheim is a sub-community of USAG Ansbach.
