  1. BRAC RELO Manager

  2. Babenhausen Closure • Sub-community of USAG Darmstadt • Was home to HHB 41st FA Bde, 1/27 FA, D & E Btry 5/7 ADA, 77th Maint, 71st Ord, Health and Dental, etc. • Unit inactivation – largest unit first • Mass briefings for out-processing procedures • Mass production of SITES files

  3. Multi-Cultural Issues • Lack of concurrent travel orders • Immigration • Housing on-post while awaiting travel orders and/or visa’s • Coordinate with Consulate for priority services

  4. Service Providers Prep • Pre-print SITES for most frequently requested locations – on hand in ACS • Pre-stage Pertinent relocation information at mass briefings (timed checklists, pet relocation, shipping 2nd vehicle, etc.) • Aggressively market PCS for 1st Term Soldiers with open invitation to all others • Lending Closet Kits

  5. Lessons Learned from BAB • Mass briefings more effective with handouts • Mass production of SITES very effective with minimal waste - produced once a week • Establish good relationship with orders clerk • Work closely with Chief of Housing – re: delayed PCS • Pre-departure services - better attended when coupled with physical tour • Overestimated how many would use the Lending Closet • Use MOS often

  6. Non-service business • Clearing out the ACS • Furniture and NAF property • Automation (MIS / Tech) property • Attrition of resources • When it’s all said and done, and you still have stuff there!

  7. USAG Darmstadt Pre-Closure Using Lessons Learned From Babenhausen Closure

  8. USAG Darmstadt Pre-Closure • Provided carry bags to keep all PCS related info in one place • Pre-print/burn common MI/PMM files • Handed out MI/PMM request sheets during out-processing / LEVY briefings • Stressed Multi-cultural PCS issues to Chain of Command / Concern one year out • Thinned out lending closet by transferring kits to other installations

  9. Darmstadt pre-closure • Reduce class sessions as Soldiers depart • Most class participation will come to abrupt halt – but they still need the info • Offer to go to them – many Soldiers have to look for things to do toward the end • Work with PAO and marketing to get the word out about potentially reduced service • Work with nearby ACS to cover gaps
