With a population of over 12,000 American soldiers, USAG Baumholder is one of the largest overseas concentrations of combat soldiers. Maintaining two barracks near the town, Smith and Wetzel, USAG Baumholder has become an integral part of the German town’s economy, culture, and well-being. In fact, the Army operates twelve local churches, a cinema, a PX, and a hospital while the soldiers spend their hard earned paychecks patronizing local businesses.
