Kaserne, Garmisch -

Today,
the facilities of the George
C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies encompass
both the Sheridan and Krafft von Dellmensingen (KvD) Kasernes. Sheridan
Kaserne, originally named Jaeger Kaserne, was constructed in 1937
to house German Wehrmacht troops. The U.S. Army first used the installation
in 1945 as a prisoner-of-war camp for officers. The Headquarters of
the First Mountain Division of the new German Bundeswehr was located
on the Kasernes from 1960 – 1992. The installation became home to
the Garmisch U.S. Military Community, the headquarters of the Armed
Forces Recreation Center (AFRC) and the former U.S. Army Russian Institute
in May 1964. In June 1992, the facilities on Sheridan Kaserne transferred
to the new George C. Marshall Center.
