Original message, July 18
USAG Stuttgart will conduct its annual Stallion Shake force protection exercise, July 20-21. The exercise is intended to evaluate the garrison’s service support emergency response of German and American first responders in the event of an actual emergency. Community members should not be alarmed by the increased presence of emergency vehicles throughout the garrison footprint during this time. While much of the action will take place on Kelley Barracks, entry/exit into installations across the garrison may be intermittently delayed or interrupted during this time.
