The US government has been listening to you for the last 20 years about removing US troops from Germany. For the last 10 years there has been only one US Army combat brigade in Germany, the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, stationed at Grafenwoehr in Bavaria. There are a couple of air bases left with a wing or so of USAF fighters/fighter-bombers. US Army Europe headquarters was moved from Heidelberg to Wiesbaden about 5 years ago and is down to a thousand or so soldiers.

The troop pull out began in 1989 with the end of the Cold War. Each of the Kasernes/posts I was assigned to in Germany for my 7 years there were turned back over to the German government by 2008.

My unit, 78th Engineer battalion built the M1 tank range in Graf. It was not fun work.
