I worked communications management and reporting (NCMO) out of Lindsey AS for REFORGER in the early 70s - REturn of FORces to GERmany. Hearing you mention some of the ABs (Hahn, Spangdahlem, there was Bitburg) and so many others ALL had parts in the biyearly exercises. The hardest part of it was the setup and running of the mobile comms groups and squadrons assigned to it.
Today? The bases and posts are nearly all gone, the stockpiles of tanks gone - as they should be, and whatever comms there may be are satellite. Germany et al need to take care of themselves.
As soon as I could, I moved out of the BOQ at Hahn to Traben-Trarbach. It was a dozen miles off base, too far from the AFN signal, except for one weird night in December of 1980, when I was awakened by AFN radio in Frankfurt that John Lennon was murdered.
When I was transferred to Battalion HQ in Spangdahlem, I kept my apartment. The commute was about 30 miles/40 minutes, with one stop light in Wittlich. The route took me through the Urziger Wurzgarten vineyards, what a beautiful area.
