Predeployment Information and Requirements 

1. General. 

a. This section outlines tasks that you must accomplish prior to 

deploying to Hohenfels as augmentees for overseas deployment training 

(ODT). Review all tasks carefully. It is critical that all suspense actions are 

completed on time. Any delay will adversely impact your unit's training. 

Timely submission of required documents is reported as part of your unit’s 

evaluation. See Annex A for a checklist of events and tasks that must be 

completed prior to your unit deploying for ODT. 

b. Once your unit representative returns from the OCC, e-mail or call 

the Liaison Officer (RC-LNO) and the JMRC Reserve Component LNO (JMRC- 

RC-LNO). Provide e-mail addresses, commercial and DSN telephone numbers 

(prefix included), fax numbers, and the name of the POC for the unit. 

2. Personnel Action Requirements 

a. Ensure all soldiers are GREEN on MEDPROS. 

b. Ensure that proper forms are on hand to support unit requirements. 

c. Have on hand DA Form 3365, Authorization for Medical Warning 

Tag (AR 40-66/AR 40-15), for each soldier that requires one. 

d. Attach DA Label 162 to treatment records (Medical Warning Tag, 

Health and Dental Records, AR 40-15). 

e. Issue Medical Warning Tag and ensure it's in the soldier's 

possession (AR 40-15 and AR 640-3). 

f. Verify that SF Form 601, Immunization Record, is current and on 

file (AR 40-562 and AR 40-66). ODT immunization requirements are Influenza 

(within calendar year), Typhoid (within last 3 years), Tetanus/Diphtheria (within 

last 10 years) (AR 40-501). 

g. Verify there is a current physical on file for all soldiers. Ensure any 

physical profiles are valid and up-to-date (AR 40-501 and AR 612-2). 

h. Conduct a medical evaluation on all soldiers who were hospitalized 

within 60 days prior to deployment (AR 40-501 and AR 612-2). Screen all 

soldiers for any chronic illness or injuries and ensure soldiers deploy with all 

medications and profiles. 

A-4


i. Screen soldiers for HIV-III. Soldiers with positive results will not be 

deployed OCONUS. 

Data. 

j. Review, update and process DD Form 93, Record of Emergency 

k. Review, update and process SGLV Form 8286, Service Member 

Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate. 

l. Review, update and process changes to Personnel Qualification 

Records (PQR). 

m. Verify that all soldiers are listed on the unit's Alpha roster with a 

standard name line. 

n. Prepare DD Form 1610, Request/Authorization for TDY Travel, on 

unit AGR Soldiers. 

3. Transportation to and from JMRC 

a. The ODT commander is responsible to ensure transportation 

requested for equipment and personnel will support the unit’s deployment and 

redeployment plan. Arrange all transportation requirements for ODT, including 

transportation from unit home station to overseas port of debarkation and return. 

Units typically arrive the first Sunday of ODT and depart for CONUS on the last 

Saturday of ODT. Arrange any commercial transportation as early as possible to 

maximize savings. RCLNO only coordinates commercial buses and commercial 

haul assets through the Hohenfels BMCT to get your soldiers from/to the 

APOD/APOE. Your state transportation office must coordinate for all other 

transportation requirements. 

b. Choices for APOD/APOE in Germany and ground travel time to 

JMRC at Hohenfels are: 

(1) Nuremberg (civilian, not international), 1 hr 

(2) Munich International (civilian), 1.5 hrs 

(3) Frankfurt International (civilian), 5 hrs 

(4) Grafenwoehr (U.S. military, C-130 capable only), 1 hr 

c. Transportation options in order of most preferred method. 

A-5


(1) Commercial: All soldiers and equipment on one flight. This 

requires a lot of prior coordination with the airline to ensure your equipment will 

be loaded. The airline will probably have to decrease the amount of passengers 

allowed on the flight because of the weight of your equipment. 

(3) Commercial: Soldiers separate from equipment. Equipment 

may be shipped by a commercial shipping company. 

(a) Your state must confirm that the carrier will deliver the 

equipment all the way to Hohenfels and notify the customs office at the port of 

entry into Germany. If either one of these does not occur, you will have to make 

a special trip from Hohenfels to the port of entry to clear customs and/or escort 

equipment Make sure your ADVON or detail knows the Waybill # for the 

equipment. If you do not send weapons with your shipped equipment, notify the 

RC-LNO of the projected arrival date and time of delivery with ample time so we 

can coordinate for the forklift to download your connexes. 

(b) If you ship your weapons, ensure the delivery date to 

Hohenfels is the day after your unit arrives. If the weapons arrive before the 

ADVON arrives, the shipment will be refused at Hohenfels because JMRC will 

not post a 24-hr guard on your weapons. If the weapons arrive while the ADVON 

is here, one of them will have to guard your weapons, severely hindering the 

ADVON's ability to do its job. 

(c) Recommended commercial carriers are Emery and 

FEDEX. Send equipment to: 

Joint Multinational Readiness Center 

ATTN: RC-LNO NCOIC 

Bldg, 343 

General Patton Dr 

Hohenfels, GE 92366 

(4) Commercial/MILAIR: Soldiers on commercial, equipment on 

MILAIR (undependable). Your state must coordinate with customs at the port of 

entry to clear the equipment shipment, and coordinate with 37th Transportation 

(located at Ramstein AFB) to deliver the equipment. If these actions do not 

occur, you will have to make a special trip from Hohenfels to the port of entry to 

clear customs and/or escort equipment (weapons with an armed guard that has 

received a deadly force brief). JMRC will not do this for you. Make sure your 

ADVON or detail knows the Transportation Control Number (TCN) for the 

equipment. 

(5) MILAIR (very undependable): Soldiers and equipment. If 

your state does not have MILAIR locked in for your ODT unit by 60 days prior to 

A-6


deploying, and funding is a problem, you need to have them begin probing 7th 

ATC for assistance with funding commercial or charter flights. 

d. Ground transportation in Germany. 

(1) If soldiers and equipment arrive together, JMRC-RC-LNO 

will coordinate for buses with trailers to transport your unit from the APOD to the 

JMRC. As long as your ODT unit does not bring more than about a dozen 

footlockers, in addition to personal luggage, there should be enough room. 

Soldiers should be issued personal weapons prior to boarding the bus. 

(2) If soldiers and equipment arrive together during the tourist 

season (May-Aug), the Hohenfels BMCT cannot guarantee trailers for these 

buses. JMRC must then coordinate for a commercial truck through the 

Hohenfels BMCT. If you arrive in Nuremberg on the weekend, the Hohenfels 

BMCT has one contractor with a truck that will go to Nuremberg on the weekend. 

Because of German traffic regulations, JMRC cannot put a military vehicle (i.e. 

HEMMT or 5 Ton) on the road to make this trip on the weekend. 

(3) If your equipment arrives separate from the main body, and 

your unit has to pick it up, expect to be without the equipment for a few days. It 

will take a couple of working days to get all the coordination confirmed (i.e. 

commercial haul asset, TMP vehicle for armed guard escort, ammunition for 

armed guard, deadly force brief, vehicle for the crew who will upload the 

equipment, customs coordination, etc.). 

e. Notify the JMRC-RC-LNO of your ADVON and Main Body itinerary 

NLT 15 days prior to their departure date (See Annex B). It takes 15 days to 

submit and confirm ground transportation assets to pick up soldiers and 

equipment at the airport. 

f. It is imperative that the unit arrives with their return flight 

information and plane tickets. The JMRC RC-LNO will not coordinate your unit’s 

return flights. Use the information in this packet to develop a plan prior to 

deployment to address, at a minimum, the following requirements for 

redeployment (you will have to finalize details at JMRC): 

(1) Return flight departure time and location. 

(2) Requested bus departure time from JMRC. 

(4) Palletization plan. When and where will they be built? If you 

must send all your equipment to the airport in advance to be palletized, 

what/where will your soldiers sleep on before departure? Have you coordinated 

for the resources required to palletize and load pallets on aircraft? If you used 

A-7


banding material when you deployed, bring extra material and the banding 

machine for redeployment use. 

(5) Plan to recover sick soldiers from hospitals before leaving. 

(6) Plan to recover AWOL soldiers (yes, it does happen). 

(7) Plan to clear JMRC.

4. Transportation while at JMRC 

a. The success or failure of your unit’s ODT period may hinge on its 

ability to move personnel, tools and equipment from place to place. Facilities 

and work areas at JMRC are spread over several miles, and units are required to 

bus personnel from place to place. There should be a minimum of four for 

infantry companies and two per armor and engineer units. Bus driver training is 

critical to unit ground transportation. Units should have as many soldiers as 

possible licensed to drive 5-ton trucks, 2-1/2 ton trucks, CUCVs, 26-pax buses, 

9-pax vans, and HMMWVs. The individual DA Form 348 must read, “M1008, 

M1009, 44 pax, 66 pax, and 26 pax buses,” besides the typical military vehicles 

(HMMWV, 2-1/2 ton and 5-ton). The ULLS system will allow you to customize 

A-8


the DA Form 348 by using UA-UZ codes. All forms and memos require the 

commander's original signature. 

b. On-post transportation is allocated as follows: 

(1) Infantry company: One 44 or 66-pax bus, one CUCV and/or 

one HMMWV, and a 5-ton provided by the JMRC sponsor company or 2-1/2 ton 

truck (if available). The ADVON will draw the CUCV/HMMWV for completing 

their tasks. If there is an overlap of infantry companies, one company will only 

get a 26-pax bus and both companies will have to establish a joint shuttle system 

to/from the dinning facility and/or training sites. 

(2) Armor platoon: One 26-pax van and 1 LTV. Armor platoons 

are typically authorized an ADVON. Company D, JMRC, provides all 

transportation for field missions. However, all tank drivers must have a 

USAREUR drivers license. See paragraph c. below for details. 

(3) Engineer platoon: One cargo HMMWV/CUCV. Engineer 

platoons are typically authorized an ADVON. The platoon relies on the 

augmentee infantry company for administrative and logistical support. Additional 

field transportation is provided by the active duty USAREUR augmentee 

engineer platoon, or as coordinated by the JMRC regimental engineer. 

(4) Low Density units (JAG, Medical, Dental, MP, Aviation and 

Maintenance): Low density units will receive between 1 and 3 eight passenger 

vans. This will be dependant on mission and need by the unit. Just because you 

think you need the vehicle does not mean that you are necessarily going to get 

one. The practice of shuttling soldiers is critical to your success while on ODT 

here at JMRC. The USAREUR vehicle fleet management system is very limited 

at certain times of the year especially during rotational exercises. 

c. Before driving military vehicles in Europe, unit personnel must be 

USAREUR and PMCS certified. You’re supporting Readiness Group or State 

TCO can provide the materials necessary to prepare for the test, administer and 

score the test, and place the USAREUR stamp on the soldier's DA Form 348. If 

the stamp is not available, submit a memorandum (See Annex C) with the 

individual's name and scores from two tests, AR-PR7-100-M (European Traffic 

Regulations and Safe Driving Practices) and FORSCOM Test 200-M (European 

traffic signs). The USAREUR road test is available online at http://147.37.7.22/ 

(reference USAREUR PAM 190-34). ULLS generated Form 348-E is 

acceptable, but must be accompanied by a memorandum signed by the 

commander with the following statement: “The following listed personnel are 

USAREUR qualified, winter driving certified (1 Oct - 31 Mar), and have 40 hours 

of bus driver training.” The USAREUR military driver’s license does not authorize 

individuals to drive USAREUR POVs. 

A-9


d. CUCV (M1008/M1009), HMMWV, 9-pax van, and 5-ton drivers can 

be road tested, PMCS certified, and winter driving certified at home station 

(correct annotation on DA Form 348 required). Bus drivers must be road tested 

at Hohenfels. The TMP requires drivers of vehicles larger than a 9-pax van to 

attend the USAREUR drivers’ orientation class (includes winter driving) and 

PMCS class prior to being road tested. Upon completion of orientation and 

PMCS classes (and with a copy of the memorandum in Annex C and an original 

348) the TMP will issue the soldier an OF 346. The road test is by appointment 

only, typically the following day. You must have a designated bus driver on the 

ADVON (it is a 2-1/2 mile walk to the dinning facility from billeting in Albertshof). 

For any TMP vehicle, soldiers must bring a copy of the memorandum in Annex 

C, an original 348, and civilian POV license. A vision and reaction test will be 

given prior to issue of license (bring glasses). 

5. Typical Augmentee Unit Composition 

a. For each High Intensity Conflict (HIC) rotation, JMRC requires 

augmentation by an infantry company (125 soldiers), an armor platoon (20 

soldiers), and an engineer section (95 soldiers). An additional infantry company 

is required during SETAF rotations. Typical augmentee unit composition follows. 

b. Infantry company (125 soldiers) consisting of: 

MOS/Duty Position Rank QTY 

11A Company Commander O3 1 

11A Platoon Leader / Executive Officers O1-O2 4

91B Medic E1-E5 1 

6. Predeployment Training 

a. Successful unit training during ODT is a command responsibility. 

The unit must begin training prior to deployment to ensure success. It is 

imperative that the ODT unit commander review the training plan outlined during 

the OCC in order to develop a training plan to prepare the unit to support the 

JMRC mission. 

b. While augmenting the JMRC during a typical HIC rotation, your 

soldiers will typically train the following tasks:

c. Recommended predeployment training in preparation for your 

rotation as JMRC augmentees: 

(1) Infantry. 

(a) Physical fitness, emphasis on road marches (biggest 

problem past augmentee units have in common). 

(b) RTO procedures (second biggest problem past 

augmentee units have in common). 

(2) Armor. 

(c) Day and night land navigation 

(d) Infantry crew battle drills 

(e) Wire and mine obstacle reduction and breach marking 

(f) Training with the MILES Dragon/Viper 

(g) Day and night reconnaissance patrols 

(a) Physical fitness 

(b) Day and night mounted land navigation 

(c) Action and contact drills 

(d) Tank crew battle drills 

(e) Reporting (SINCGARS training if possible) 

(3) Engineers. 

(a) Physical fitness, emphasis on road marches 

(b) Day and night land navigation 

(c) Day and night engineer reconnaissance patrols 

A-13


(d) Emplace triple strand concertina 

(e) Wire and mine obstacle reduction and breach marking 

(f) Training with the MILES Dragon/Viper 

(4) Low Density Units: Be prepared to work within your MOS skill set. If 

you are a medic attached to the clinic you will be doing medical tasks to assist 

the clinic such as triage, medical records upkeep and radiological tasks. 

Maintenance units are going to be installation level maintenance tasks repairing 

equipment. 

7. Packing List 

a. Required and recommended individual and unit specific items are 

listed in Annex D. 

b. Your soldiers will need to deploy with 3 sets of ACU’s. They will 

also need proper civilian clothing for off-duty hours and MWR events. (See 

Annex E). Due to the changing war front, more of the OPFOR missions are 

requiring the wear of “Man-Dress” type clothing over the top of civilian clothes. If 

you are deploying to Hohenfels in the winter months this means that civilian cold 

weather gear can be worn under the “Man-Dress”. 

c. Any item of monetary value entering CONUS from Germany is 

subject to a customs charge, regardless of the fact that it was originally 

purchased in CONUS. Therefore, if a soldier brings a personal video camera, 

radio, etc. to annual training, the soldier may have to pay a customs charge upon 

reentry into the U.S. To avoid this, soldiers should contact their local customs 

office, pick up the proper forms and have them in their possession when they 

clear customs upon their return from Germany. 

8. VIP Visits 

a. If your unit will have VIPs visiting you in Germany, they must submit 

an official AUTODIN message utilizing the DoD Foreign Clearance Guide (FCG), 

DoD 4500.54G, through USAREUR Reserve Component Senior Advisors Office 

in Heidelberg 30 days in advance. This message must be submitted through the 

state's message center via the AMHS (classified system). 

b. The most successful VIP OCONUS visits are fully coordinated with 

the Senior Guard Advisors Office at EUCOM and USAREUR at least 60 days 

prior to the visit and certainly before submitting requests for clearance. 

A-14


c. Notify the JMRC RC-LNO as soon as your VIPs decide to visit. 

d. Points of contact:

main body (typically Tuesday or Wednesday). Typical composition is three 

soldiers, but may not exceed five. Make sure these soldiers have decisionmaking 

authority. We highly recommend that the unit commander arrive with the 

ADVON so that he can plan and prepare for his unit’s upcoming training. On 

Fridays, most Germans depart at 1300. Also be aware of German and American 

holidays. 

b. Coordinate with the RC-LNO to have your sponsor company pick 

up your ADVON at the airport. 

c. The ADVON will arrive and sign for billets, vehicles, uniforms, 

phones, MILES, and coordinate for main body arrival. Infantry companies sign 

for barracks buildings, latrine, and arms room buildings for their soldiers. Infantry 

companies may be issued three barracks buildings if the armor and engineer 

platoons are housed with them. Female billets are available if required and 

requested at least 15 days prior to ADVON arrival. The ADVON must bring their 

sleeping pad, sleeping bag and pillow since the billets only have metal framed 

beds without mattresses. 

d. The ADVON will spend its first night in the ODT unit’s assigned 

billets. 

e. The ADVON should bring two USAREUR licensed personnel (one 

MUST be a bus driver). The Main Body should bring additional (four 

recommended) licensed bus drivers, that can be road tested upon arrival. 

f. ADVON must bring: 

(1) Assumption of Command orders (10 copies) 

(2) Delegation of authority memo from commander to ADVON 

OIC/NCOIC (10 copies) 

A-15


(3) Signed, blank DA Form 1687 signature cards (10 copies)

(7) Drivers' DA Form 348 (MUST have commander’s original 

(8) Memo with USAREUR drivers license test scores (90/100 on 

written portion). See Annex C 

(9) Mail orderly authorization (DD Form 285) 

(10) Main body itinerary 

(11) Equipment shipping documents 

g. Training schedule. See Annex G for a typical ADVON training 

schedule. Reference TAB B (ADVON) and TAB C (Life Support Information) of 

this packet for further information. 

10. Training Evaluation Documents 

a. In the past we did complete training evaluations. THIS IS NO 

LONGER THE CASE. We do not have the personnel to complete these. If your 

unit wants a written AAR the RCLNO office could accommodate this request. 

b. Contact the JMRC-RC-LNO if you have any questions specific to 

evaluations. 

11. Contacting JMRC and JMRC Battalion

c. Mermites and MREs are available from the DFAC, but all coordination for 

field rations should be done through your sponsor company. Typically, requests are 

processed in 72 hrs, but emergency same-day issues are permitted on a case-by-case 

basis. 

d. DFAC hours of operation for both weekdays and weekends, unless 

otherwise posted are:

Dinner 1630-1800 1630-1730 

e. You are responsible to ensure your soldiers have transportation to and 

from the DFAC. You will be issued a bus; however it is your responsibility to bring 

licensed bus drivers. The post shuttle is also available, though its hours of operation 

don't always coincide with meal hours. 

f. Officers and AGR personnel will pay cash and sign DD Form 1544, Cash 

Meal Payment Sheet, for meals consumed in the dining facility. When enlisted soldiers 

eat a meal in an active army dining facility, they will sign DA Form 3032, Dining Facility 

Meal Register, and enter the appropriate information in the columns provided. 

g. Commanders of National Guard units in the meal payroll deduction 

program, will present to the dining facility manager a certified letter with the following 

statement:

program at state level and are authorized to eat in the dining facility without paying." 

This letter must be signed by the company commander and accompany the ADVON. 

h. JMRC also has the following dinning options (hours listed in the JMRC 

Telephone Book, Annex A, Appendix 2):

C-10


4. Uniform and equipment 

a. Military dress and grooming standards are required at all times. All 

personnel are required to be in proper military uniform to include haircuts, mustaches, 

identification tags and ID cards. Proper wear of the uniform must be emphasized, to 

include the wear of field jackets / Gore-Tex (both outside and inside of building), and the 

wearing of headgear outside buildings. 

b. Civilian attire is authorized after duty hours. No tank tops, bare feet, 

shower shoes, or swimsuits are allowed in the dining facility or most post facilities. 

c. Unless otherwise stated, the uniform for training is ACU’s or blacks (tops, 

trousers, and Gore-Tex), LBE, Kevlar (stripped), and MILES gear. Flak vests are 

mandatory for soldiers riding in tracked vehicles OPFOR augmentees will wear the 

Army tan T-shirt and camouflage soft cap with the black uniform when in garrison. 

Jungle boots are NOT authorized for use in the field between 01 Oct and 01 Apr. 

Officers and NCO’s will wear pin-on rank. Uniform for the maintenance shops will be 

coveralls or full BDU uniform. Uniform for PT is the NEW Army gray PT uniform. On 

occasion MAN DRESSES will be issued in lieu of Blacks. 

d. Black uniforms are issued through the 1-4 IN S4. The OPFOR ADVON 

will pick them up by appointment only (See the ADVON Checklist in TAB B for details). 

Once issued, strip all uniforms of all longevity and awards badges. 

e. The uniform should be adjusted to suit the environmental conditions. 

However, uniformity and military bearing must be stressed. 

5. Laundry Laundry facilities are available in Bldg 1160. The cost is $1.00 per 

load to wash and $0.25 per 15 min to dry. 

6. Money Matters 

a. Cash, checks and currency exchange. There are three ways to obtain 

cash and exchange dollars for local currency on Hohenfels: 

(1) The local Community Bank, Bank of America: Soldiers are allowed 

to cash up to $200.00 a day with a copy of their orders. 

(a) ATM Cards: one ATM machine at the bank on main post, 

one located on Warrior Hill near the shoppette, and one next to the snack bar in Camp 

Albertshof (closest to your barracks). These machines accept cards from most home 

C-11


station banks. You can withdraw either dollars or the equivalent amount in German 

Marks at these machines. 

(b) Money orders and Travelers Checks (no personal checks) 

may be cashed at the bank for a small fee. Soldiers must have in their possession a 

valid ID card and a copy of their AT orders. 

(c) The bank will not give cash advances on credit cards. 

(2) The Post Exchange (PX): 

(a) Check cashing is available at the PX, with ID card and 

orders up to $300.00 per day for checks with a bank imprint. The limit is $100.00 per 

day for temporary checks. 

(b) You may also exchange Dollars to Euro’s and Euro’s to 

Dollars for three Euro cents (hundredths of a Euro) more than the bank. 

(c) The PX will not give cash advances on credit cards. 

3. Wiring money to Germany. Do not expect to be able to wire money. The 

bank and PX will not accept money without an account. There are ways to have money 

wired to local German financial institutions, but the process is painful and the fees 

exorbitant. 

4. German ATMs. Most German ATMs will accept U.S. ATM cards. You will 

receive Euro’s and will be charged the equivalent in U.S. dollars at a competitive rate. 

The “EC” or “Geld Automat” signs easily identify the ATMs. 

7. ID Cards Soldiers must have their ID card with them at all times. 100% ID 

checks are required for purchase at all facilities at JMRC, to include the shoppettes, PX, 

and commissary. Please check and ensure that the ID card is current and not frayed or 

torn. The guards will confiscate all ID cards that are not properly sealed. If a Soldiers 

ID card expires while they are in Germany on ODT orders they will not be allowed to 

board their redeployment aircraft at the airport. These cause undue hardship on the 

Soldier and the unit as it will be at least a few days before the Soldier will be able to 

redeploy. Personnel with red ID cards must also show a copy of their orders to gain 

entrance to U.S. facilities. 

C-12


8. Commissary and Exchange 

a. Commissary. Purchase requirement is a valid ID card and a set of orders. 

b. PX. PX privileges are available to your soldiers and include: 

(1) Entry into all AAFES facilities including retail stores, concessions, 

theater and the Military Clothing Sales store. The Four Seasons, Bldg 336, 466-2863, 

contains home and garden items. 

(2) Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) is available for customers with an 

existing account. 

(3) While on active duty status you can place catalog orders to 

stateside addresses. 

9. Ration cards Certain items (cigarettes, coffee, tea, and liquor) are rationed to 

Americans on post. The JMRC-RC-LNO office Bldg 343, supplies ration cards for your 

unit when you in-process billeting. Do not buy rationed items for another person, 

especially someone without ration items privileges. To do so is a crime and you will be 

prosecuted. 

10. Telephone Service 

a. The billets have U.S. style phone jacks, at least one phone, and 

permanent phone lines. 

b. You are not required to bring phones from CONUS. However, do not 

expect to be issued more than one per phone per building. 

c. The phone line will only be Germany-capable DSN. Additional services 

can be provided. The cost of other line types depends on the frequency of use. You 

must have a fund cite approved for additional line service. Your commercial phone 

number from the U.S. will be 011-49-9472-83-last four digits. 

d. Coordinate for calling the U.S. on DSN through the JMRC-RC-LNO. 

e. Do NOT accept collect calls on your phone. You will be billed for those 

calls and the issue brought to the attention of your chain of command. 

f. Coordinate directly with the DCO for additional questions at 466- 

4931/2610, Bldg. 54, Camp Nainhof. Furthermore, they can answer questions about 

your specific computer, modem, and e-mail system. 

C-13


11. Phone Calls Home/e-mail 

a. There are several ways for your soldiers to place calls back to the States. 

There is access to USA direct (AT&T) operators. The cheapest way to call is to buy a 

calling card worth a specific dollar amount. These cards are readily available at the PX 

and shoppettes at JMRC. Direct calls from Germany on civilian pay phones are very 

expensive. 

b. For soldiers with long distance credit cards, the access numbers from 

Germany are: 

AT&T: 0130-0010 

MCI: 0130-0012 

Sprint: 0130-0013 

c. The JMRC does not have a MARS station for morale calls. 

d. Internet access for personal use (i.e. e-mail) is available at the Library, 

Bldg 49, 466-1740. Hours are listed in Annex A, Appendix 2. You must sign up for a 

one-hour block of time to use the computer. If you are more than five minutes late you 

lose your slot. You can also use the education center in Bldg. 351 for limited use during 

their opening hours. 

12. Mail 

a. Incoming mail will be delivered to the community mailroom, Bldg 53. Your 

unit must appoint a mail handler on orders. We can certify your mail handler(s) once

office. Operators must receive an on-hands PMCS class specific to this bus, and have 

the bus inspected by the TMP section prior to dispatch. Maintaining this bus is critical to 

not only you but also the ARNG unit using this bus after you. QC hours: M-F 0900- 

1130. Dispatch hours: M-W, F 1400-1630, Thu 1300-1500.

W, F 0800-1030. Thursday is closed for IMMA internal unit training. With prior 

coordination with Mr. Crum 466-2142, units can dispatch on Thursdays. Requires an 

original 348 and license (copies will not be accepted), and a copy of assumption of 

command orders or a memo signed by the commander authorizing the signature on the 

license (if someone other than the commander signed the license). 

d. Submit additional TMP requests to the RC-LNO. Vehicles dispatched by 

the TMP with an off-post dispatch are authorized off-post within a 75-mile radius.

station, Bldg 358, 466-2812/2713, and get a Letter of Authorization to Purchase 

Gasoline or Diesel Fuel for Rental Vehicles. 

f. Post Shuttle Bus. See Annex C for schedules. 

14. Medical Info 

a. The JMRC clinic, Bldg 51, 466-2602, is your first stop for any medical 

needs. Any cases requiring further medical care will be sent to one of the civilian 

medical facilities listed in Annex D, Appendix 2. 

b. You must provide the clinic with a copy of your unit's Alpha roster. 

Coordinate a medic link-up plan if your medics are to work at the aid station. 

C-15


c. The clinic has a standard Class VIII package it provides to your unit's 

medics. Ensure it includes enough bee-sting kits for your soldiers that need them. 

d. Coordinate for all medical support for training, to include ambulances, 

through your sponsor company. 

e. JMRC has a 24-hr aerial MEDEVAC. However, ground MEDEVAC is 

usually quicker. MEDEVAC procedures and nine-line are listed in Annex D, Appendix 

1. 

15. Serious Incidents/LODs 

a. All serious incidents (reportable accidents, injuries, death, lost/damaged 

sensitive items, AWOLs, hospitalizations, Red Cross messages, etc.) must be reported 

to the 1-4 IN battalion commander or XO, sponsor company commander, EOC (SDO), 

your unit battalion commander, and the JMRC-RC-LNO ASAP. ODT unit company or 

detachment commanders should report serious incidents directly to the 1-4 IN battalion 

commander. Ensure you report the incident in your next day's status report. 

b. Complete all the information on the Serious Incident Report in Annex E. 

c. Initiate a Line of Duty (LOD) investigation if required. The ODT unit 

commander must complete Section 2 of the Statement of Medical Examination and 

Duty Status (DA Form 2173) received from the servicing medical facility, and a Report 

of Investigation (DD Form 261). The reverse side of DA Form 2173 must contain the 

statement "by authority of the Secretary of the Army" and will be signed by the 

approving Patient Administration Division (PAD). Forward both forms through normal 

chain of command channels. Forward a copy of each form to the JMRC RC-LNO and 

to: 

Commander 

1st PERSCOM 

ATTN: AEUPE-PSSD-CCD 

APO AE 09081 

d. The NG safety officer will fill out an abbreviated ground accident report for 

any serious incident and turn it in to the post safety office within 24 hours of the incident 

and before leaving for the States. 

C-16


16. Red Cross

Their number is DSN 466-1760/4652 or CIV 09472-83-1760/4652 (from the States 011- 

49-9472-83-1760/4652). If you need their assistance and they are not available, you 

can leave a message or contact Grafenwoehr Red Cross at DSN 475-8330 or CIV 

09461-83-8330. 

b. Ensure your home station Red Cross has the EOC phone number, DSN 

466-2819, CIV 011-49-9472-83-2819. You can expect at least one Red Cross message 

while on ODT. Family members should have the service member's rank, full name, 

social security number, duty station and address. Once emergency leave is approved 

the Hohenfels SATO Office, 466-2101, can issue a ticket if required. Normally you as 

the unit will know about these before they come through the official channels. If you find 

out about a Red Cross message and you have verified it through your home station 

command. You can arrange to have the soldiers plane ticket changed through the 

SATO office. All plane tickets are purchased as changeable round-trip tickets. So the 

process is usually less than a 24 hour turn around from notification to the soldier being 

on a flight back to homestation. 

c. Ensure your ADVON gives the Red Cross in Bldg 10 an Alpha roster to 

assist in contacting your unit in a timely manner. 

17. Religious Services

encouraged. At no time will TMP busses or vehicles be parked and left unattended in 

the civilian communities. 

19. Drinking Policy The consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly limited while 

on ODT The current policy is no consumption of alcohol AT ALL during the X days of a 

rotation. The goal is force protection. Unit commanders will coordinate with their 

sponsor upon arrival for limitations. This policy applies both on and off post, including 

non-duty hours and MWR trips. 

20. Customs Information 

a. Any item of monetary value entering CONUS from Germany is subject to a 

customs charge, regardless of the fact that it was originally purchased in CONUS. 

Therefore, if a soldier brings a personal video camera, radio, etc., to annual training, the 

soldier may pay a customs charge upon reentry into CONUS. To avoid this, soldiers 

C-18


should contact their local customs office, pick up the proper forms and have them in 

their possession when they clear customs upon their return from Germany. Read the 

customs information sheet "Know Before You Go" (Annex F) to avoid unexpected fines 

or charges. 

b. Coordinate with the customs office, Bldg 10, 466-2012, for redeployment 

of weapons and equipment. 

21. Value Added Tax Soldiers are exempt from the German 19% sales tax, 

wherever the Value Added Tax (VAT) form is accepted. You must first check with the 

vendor to verify acceptance of the VAT. Buy a VAT form ($4.00) at the Tax Relief 

Office in the Community Activities Center (CAC), Bldg 40, 466-2670/2840. Fill out the 

VAT form with the vendor at the time of purchase to exempt you from paying the 19% 

tax. Finally, return the white copy of the form to the Tax Relief Office. 

22. Firearms Personal firearms, explosives, or firecrackers are not permitted under 

any circumstances. Knives over six inches in length, switch blades, or any other knife 

that opens by inertia are prohibited. 

23. Recycling You are required to recycle during your ODT in Germany. You must 

separate paper, metal, glass, plastics, and hazardous waste (this includes batteries and 

aerosol cans). Drop off your recyclables and other trash at the sort facility, Bldg 25, 

466-4849. 

24. VIP Visits Inform your sponsor and JMRC-RC-LNO of all impending VIP visits. 

VIPs are defined as your battalion commander and above. See TAB A (Predeployment) 

for further information. 

25. Public Affairs Units desiring to do news releases prior to the AT period should 

work through their State or ARCOM public affairs office. Notify your sponsor and the 

JMRC-RC-LNO of any impending visits by public affairs personnel. 

26. Administrative Services A copy machine, FAX machine and computer hook-up 

(Ether Link) are available in the JMRC-RC-LNO Bldg. 343. FAX number is CIV 01149-

Annex B (Arms Room SOP) to TAB C (Life Support Information) 

AETTH-OPFOR-SEC 8 March 2001 

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD 

SUBJECT: 1-4 IN Augmentee Field Arms Room Instructions 

1. PURPOSE: These instructions prescribe standard procedures for the operation of 1-4 

IN Augmentee Unit Field Arms Rooms (FAR) and the security of arms and sensitive items. 

2. APPLICABILITY: These instructions apply to all units assigned or attached to the 1 st 

Battalion, 4 th Infantry Regiment at JMRC, Hohenfels and operating out of Camp Albertshof. 

3. REFERENCES: 

AR 190-11 

AR 190-13 

AR 380-5 

AR 710-2-1

AR 190-51 

USAREUR REG 190-11 

USAREUR REG 385-64 

USAREUR PAM 190-13 

4. GENERAL: 

a. SENSITIVE ITEMS INVENTORY: The deploying augmentee unit is required to conduct 

a 100% sensitive items inventory of all unit arms & equipment prior to deployment (a 

separate “stay behind” and “deploying” sensitive items listing should be maintained by the 

unit chain of command). Immediately upon arrival at Hohenfels and occupation of the 

Field Arms Room, the unit will conduct another 100% sensitive items inventory of all 

“deployed” sensitive items and forward a copy of this inventory to the 1-4 IN S2. Further, 

during its stay at Hohenfels the unit will conduct a DAILY 100% SENSITIVE ITEMS 

INVENTORY of all “deployed” sensitive items and will provide a daily status update to the 

1-4 IN RTOC. 

b. SECURITY: The Augmentee Field Arms Room (FAR) at Albertshof is required to have 

all windows blacked out (unless windows contain smoked glass) and will have all weapons 

racks chained together and secured by 5200 series locks (locks, chains and black out 

material are augmentee unit responsibility). The Arms Room will have only one primary 

entrance (i.e. all other doors and windows are securely locked). Further, the unit will post 

copies of the enclosed “Unauthorized Entry” sign in both English and German on all 

entrances to the Arms Room (including all secondary locked doors). Since the FAR has 

no JSIIDS system, the unit MUST PROVIDE A 24-HOUR GUARD for the Arms Room at 

all times. The guard should have immediate access to a telephone and will report any 

C-B-1


loss, theft or suspicious personnel immediately to the chain of command, the 1-4 IN 

Augmentee LNO, and the MP/Provost Marshal office. 

c. AMMUNITION STORAGE: Currently, no Field Arms Rooms in Albertshof are safety 

certified to store bulk ammunition (all categories). Hence, NO LIVE OR BLANK BULK 

AMMUNITION IS AUTHORIZED FOR STORAGE in the Field Arms Rooms. All 

ammunition must be issued by and turned-in to the sponsoring unit or to the 1-4 IN 

Support Platoon IAW sponsoring unit instructions. 

d. PAPERWORK: The unit must prepare and maintain in the FAR a personnel access 

roster, duty roster, current listing of all weapons serial #s, and blank copies of sensitive 

items inventories (for daily inventories). The unit should also post a roster with critical 

phone numbers in the arms room (see paragraph e. below). The armorer/FAR guard will 

keep a log of all significant events on DA Form 1594 (standard Staff Duty log). 

e. PHONE NUMBERS: The following critical phone numbers should be posted in the 

arms room: 

1-4 IN RC-LNO: DSN 466-4902 BLDG 856 

JMRC-RC-LNO: DSN 466-4999 BLDG 1189

MP Station: DSN 466-2812/2713 BLDG 358 

Provost Marshal: DSN 466-1580 BLDG 366 

f. INSPECTION: All augmentee units will be inspected at least one time by a 1-4 IN S2 

representative in accordance with the enclosed inspection checklist. The inspection will be 

announced and coordinated through the Company chain of command. Results of the 

inspection will be forwarded to the Augmentee Company Commander, 1-4 IN Augmentee 

LNO and 1-4 IN Commander. 

5. POC for this memorandum is the undersigned at DSN 466-4911.

of the duty day is reserved for scheduled health maintenance, medical platoon 

operations and training. The Battalion Aid Station section consists of 2 PAs, a Medical 

Platoon Sergeant, a BAS NCOIC and 4 medical specialists. The BAS provides limited 

pharmacy and physical examination services.

of 15 medical NCOs and specialists, 3 M113 tracked ambulances, 4 M996 2 litter

German Hospitals 

Most German hospitals are specialized in certain types of care. They do not provide 

every type of specialized care. Before an emergency arises, be aware of which hospital 

is closest to you and what specialized care it provides. The health clinic has information 

packets about all the hospitals in the local area. The following is a list of the most used 

hospitals and the care they can offer. Directions are all from the Hohenfels main gate.

WARNING! 

If you understate the value of an article you declare, or if you otherwise misrepresent an 

article in your declaration, you may have to pay a penalty in addition to payment of duty. 

Under certain circumstances, the article could be seized and retained by Customs if the 

penalty is not paid. 

Play it safe - Declare it All 

D-1


Your Declaration 

You must declare all articles acquired during your trip and in your possession at the 

time of your return. This includes: 

Articles that you purchased. 

Articles presented to you while abroad, such as wedding and birthday presents or 

inherited items. 

Articles purchased in duty-free shops or on board a carrier. 

Repairs or alterations made to any articles taken abroad and returned, whether or not 

repairs or alterations were free of charge. 

Items you have been requested to bring home for another person. 

All articles you intend to sell or use in your business. Promotional items and samples for 

Customs purposes are only those items that are valued at $1 or less. 

In addition, you must declare any articles acquired in the U.S. Virgin Islands, American 

Samoa, Guam or a country of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act and not 

accompanying you at the time of your return. 

The price actually paid for each article must be stated on your declaration in U.S. 

currency or its equivalent in the country of acquisition. The stated price must include 

any "value added tax" (VAT) if it was not refunded prior to arrival. If the article was not 

purchased, obtain an estimate of its fair retail value in the country in which it was 

acquired. 

Note: The wearing or use of any article acquired abroad does not exempt it from duty. It 

must be declared at the price you paid for it. 

Oral Declaration 

Customs declaration forms are distributed on vessels and planes and should be 

prepared in advance of arrival for presentation to Immigration and Customs inspectors. 

You may declare orally to the Customs inspector the articles you acquired abroad if the 

articles are accompanying you and have not exceeded the duty-free exemption allowed. 

A Customs officer may, however, ask you to prepare a written list of the articles. 

Written Declaration 

A written declaration will be necessary when: 

The total fair retail value of articles acquired abroad exceeds your personal exemption. 

More than one liter (33.8 fl. oz.) of alcoholic beverages, 200 cigarettes (one carton), and 

100 cigars are included. 

Some of the items are not intended for your personal or household use, such as 

commercial samples, items for sale or use in your business, or articles you are bringing 

home for another person. 

Articles acquired in the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam or a Caribbean 

Basin Economic Recovery Act country are being sent to the United States. 

A Customs duty or Internal Revenue Tax is collectible on any article in your possession. 

A Customs officer requests a written list of articles acquired. 

You have used your exemption in the last 30 days. 

D-2


Your Exemptions 

In clearing U.S. Customs, a traveler is considered either a "returning resident of the 

United States" or a "nonresident." 

Generally speaking, if you leave the United States for purposes of traveling, working or 

studying abroad and return to resume residency in the United States, you are 

considered a returning resident by Customs. 

However, U.S. residents living abroad temporarily are entitled to be classified as 

nonresidents, and thus receive more liberal Customs exemptions, on short visits to the 

United States, provided they export any foreign-acquired items at the completion of their 

visit. 

Residents of American Samoa, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, who are American 

citizens, are also considered as returning U.S. residents. 

Articles acquired abroad and brought into the United States are subject to applicable 

duty and Internal Revenue Tax, but as a returning resident you are allowed certain 

exemptions from the payment of duty on items obtained while abroad. 

Cigars and Cigarettes: Not more than 100 cigars and 200 cigarettes (one carton) may 

be included in your $400 exemption. (See other exemption levels for exceptions.) 

Products of Cuban origin may be included if purchased in Cuba. This exemption is 

available to each person. Your cigarettes, however, may be subject to a tax imposed by 

state and local authorities. 

Liquor: One liter (33.8 fl. oz.) of alcoholic beverages may be included in the $400 

exemption if: 

You are 21 years of age or older. 

It is for your own use or for use as a gift. 

It is not in violation of the laws of the state in which you arrive. 

(See other exemption levels for exceptions.) 

Note: Most states restrict the quantity of alcoholic beverages you may import. If the 

state in which you arrive permits less liquor than you have legally brought into the 

United States, that state's laws prevail. Information about state restrictions and taxes 

should be obtained from the state government as laws vary from state to state. 

Alcoholic beverages in excess of the one-liter limitation are subject to duty and Internal 

Revenue Tax. 

Shipping alcoholic beverages by mail is prohibited by United States postal laws. 

Alcoholic beverages include wine and beer as well as distilled spirits. 

Gifts 

D-3


Gifts accompanying you are considered to be for your personal use and may be 

included in your exemption. This includes gifts given to you by others while abroad and 

those you intend to give to others after you return. Gifts intended for business, 

promotional or other commercial purposes may not be included. 

Bona fide gifts of not more than $100 in fair retail value may be shipped and received 

by friends and relatives in the United States free of duty and tax, if the same person 

does not receive more than $100 in gift shipments in one day. The "day" in reference is 

the day in which the parcel(s) are received for Customs processing. This amount is 

increased to $200 if shipped from the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or Guam. 

You do not declare these gifts upon your return to the United States. 

Perfume containing alcohol and valued at more than $5 retail, tobacco products, and 

alcoholic beverages are excluded from the gift provision. 

Gifts intended for more than one person may be shipped in the same package provided 

they are individually wrapped and labeled with the name of the recipient. 

Be sure the outer wrapping of the package is marked: 1) unsolicited gift, 2) nature of the 

gift, and 3) its fair retail value. In addition, a consolidated gift parcel should be marked 

as such on the outside with the names of the recipients listed and the value of each gift. 

This will facilitate Customs clearance of your package. 

If any article imported in the gift parcel is subject to duty and tax, or should any single 

gift within a consolidated package exceed the bona fide gift allowance, then that gift will 

be dutiable. 

You, as a traveler, cannot send a "gift" parcel to yourself nor can persons traveling 

together send "gifts" to each other. Gifts ordered by mail from the United States do not 

qualify under this duty-free gift provision and are subject to duty. 

If a parcel is subject to duty, the United States Postal Service will collect the duty plus 

handling charges. Duty cannot be prepaid. 

Duty on Articles Not Covered by Your Exemption 

Duty preferences are granted to certain developing countries under the Generalized 

System of Preferences (GSP). Some products from these countries have been 

exempted from duty which would otherwise be collected if imported from any other 

country. For details, obtain the leaflet GSP & The Traveler from your nearest Customs 

office. Many products of certain Caribbean and Andean countries are also exempt from 

duty under the Caribbean Basin Initiative and Andean Trade Preference Act. Most 

products of Israel may enter the United States either free of duty or at a reduced duty 

rate. Check with Customs. 

D-4


The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented on January 1, 

1994. U.S. residents returning directly or indirectly from Canada or Mexico are eligible 

for free or reduced duty rates as applicable, on goods originating in Canada or Mexico 

as defined in the Agreement. 

Personal belongings of United States origin are entitled entry free of duty. Personal 

belongings taken abroad, such as worn clothing, etc., may be sent home by mail before 

you return and receive free entry provided they have not been altered or repaired while 

abroad. These packages should be marked "American Goods Returned." When a claim 

of United States origin is made, marking on the article to so indicate facilitates Customs 

processing. 

Foreign-made personal articles taken abroad are dutiable each time they are 

brought into our country unless you have acceptable proof of prior possession. 

Documents which fully describe the article, such as a bill of sale, insurance policy, 

jeweler's appraisal, or receipt for purchase, may be considered reasonable proof of prior 

possession. 

Items such as watches, cameras, tape recorders, or other articles which may be 

readily identified by serial number or permanently affixed markings, may be taken 

to the Customs office nearest you and registered before your departure. The Certificate 

of Registration (CF 4457) provided will expedite free entry of these items when you 

return. Keep the certificate as it is valid for any future trips as long as the information on 

it remains legible. 

Registration cannot be accomplished by telephone nor can blank registration forms be 

given or mailed to you to be filled out at a later time. 

Prohibited and Restricted Articles 

Because Customs inspectors are stationed at ports of entry and along our land and sea 

borders, they are often called upon to enforce laws and requirements of other 

Government agencies. This is done to protect community health, preserve domestic 

plant and animal life, and for other reasons. 

Certain articles considered injurious or detrimental to the general welfare of the United 

States are prohibited entry by law. Among these are: lottery tickets, narcotics and 

dangerous drugs, obscene articles and publications, seditious and treasonable 

materials, hazardous articles (e.g., fire- works, dangerous toys, toxic or poisonous 

substances), and switchblade knives (however, a one-armed person may import a 

switchblade knife for personal use, if the blade is 3 inches in length or less.) 

Other items must meet special requirements before they can be released. You will be 

given a receipt for any articles retained by Customs. 

Books, Video Tapes, Computer Programs and Cassettes 

D-5


Pirated copies of copyrighted articles - unlawfully made articles produced without the 

authorization of the copyright owner - are prohibited from importation into the United 

States. Pirated copies may be seized and destroyed. 

Drug Paraphernalia 

The importation, exportation, manufacture, sale, and transportation of drug 

paraphernalia are prohibited. Persons convicted of these offenses are subject to fines 

and imprisonment. As importations contrary to law, drug paraphernalia may be seized 

by U.S. Customs. 

Firearms and Ammunition 

Firearms and ammunition are subject to restrictions and import permits approved by the 

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Applications to import may be made 

only by or through a licensed importer, dealer, or manufacturer. Weapons, ammunition, 

or other devices prohibited by the National Firearms Act will not be admitted into the 

United States unless specifically authorized by ATF. 

No import permit is required when it is proven that the firearms or ammunition were 

previously taken out of the United States by the person who is returning with such 

firearms or ammunition. To facilitate reentry, persons may have them registered before 

departing from the United States at any Customs office or ATF field office. Exports are 

subject to the export licensing requirements of the Office of Defense Trade Controls, 

Department of State, Washington, D.C. 20520, (703) 875-6644. 

For further information on imports, contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and 

Firearms, Department of the Treasury, Washington, D.C. 20226, (202) 927-8320. 

Residents of the United States carrying firearms or ammunition with them to other 

countries should consult in advance the Customs officials or the respective embassies 

of those countries as to their regulations. 

Food Products 

Bakery items and all cured cheeses are admissible. The USDA Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service leaflet, "Traveler's Tips," provides detailed information on bringing 

food, plant, and animal products into the United States. Imported foods are also subject 

to requirements of the Food and Drug Administration. 

Fruits and Vegetables 

Most fruits and vegetables are either prohibited from entering the country or require an 

import permit. Every fruit or vegetable must be declared to the Customs officer and 

must be presented for inspection, no matter how free of pests it appears to be. Most 

canned or processed items are admissible. 

Applications for import permits or requests for information should be addressed to 

Quarantines, USDA-APHIS-PPQ, Federal Bldg, Hyattsville, Md. 20782, or call (301) 

734-8645. 

D-6


Meats, Livestock, Poultry 

Meats, livestock, poultry, and their by-products (such as ham, frankfurters, sausage, 

pate), are either prohibited or restricted from entering the United States, depending on 

the animal disease condition in country of origin. Fresh meat is generally prohibited from 

most countries. Canned meat is permitted if the inspector can determine that it is 

commercially canned, cooked in the container, hermetically sealed, and can be kept 

without refrigeration. Other canned, cured, or dried meat is severely restricted from 

most countries. 

You should contact USDA-APHIS-VS, Federal Building, 6506 Belcrest Road, 

Hyattsville, Maryland 20782, for detailed requirements or call (301) 734-7830. 

Plants 

Plants, cuttings, seeds, unprocessed plant products and certain endangered species 

either require an import permit or are prohibited from entering the United States. 

Endangered or threatened species of plants and plant products, if importation is not 

prohibited, will require an export permit from the country of origin. Every single plant or 

plant product must be declared to the Customs officer and must be presented for 

inspection, no matter how free of pests it appears to be. Applications for import permits 

or requests for information should be addressed to: Quarantines, USDA-APHIS-PPQ, 

Federal Building, Room 632, 6505 Belcrest Road, Hyattsville, Md. 20782, (301) 734- 

8645. 

Medicine/Narcotics 

Narcotics and dangerous drugs, including anabolic steroids, are prohibited entry and 

there are severe penalties if imported. A traveler requiring medicines containing habitforming 

drugs or narcotics (e.g., cough medicines, diuretics, heart drugs, tranquilizers, 

sleeping pills, antidepressants, stimulants, etc.) should: 

Have all drugs, medicinals and similar products properly identified; 

Carry only such quantity as might normally be carried by an individual having some sort 

of health problem; 

Have either a prescription or written statement from your personal physician that the 

medicinals are being used under a doctor's direction and are necessary for your 

physical well-being while traveling. 

Guideline for carrying Prescription Medicines/Drugs 

Warning 

The Food and Drug Administration prohibits the importation, by mail or in person, of 

fraudulent prescription and non-prescription drugs and medical devices. These may 

include unorthodox "cures" for medical conditions including cancer, AIDS, and multiple 

sclerosis. While these drugs and devices may be completely legal elsewhere, they may 

not have been approved for use in the United States, even under a prescription issued 

by a foreign physician. They may not legally enter the United States and may be 

confiscated. 

For additional information, contact your nearest FDA office or write:

Money and Other Monetary Instruments 

There is no limit on the total amount of monetary instruments which may be brought into 

or taken out of the United States nor is it illegal to do so. However, if you transport or 

cause to be transported (including by mail or other means) more than $10,000 in 

monetary instruments on any occasion into or out of the United States, or if you receive 

more than that amount, you must file a report (Customs Form 4790) with U.S. Customs 

(Currency & Foreign Transactions Reporting Act, 31 U.S.C. 1101, et seq.). Failure to 

comply can result in civil, criminal and/or forfeiture penalties. Monetary instruments 

include U.S. or foreign coin in current circulation, currency, traveler's checks in any 

form, money orders, and negotiable instruments or investment securities in bearer form. 

Customs Pointers 

Traveling Back and Forth Across Border 

After you have crossed the United States boundary at one point and you swing back 

into the United States to travel to another point in the foreign country, you run the risk of 

losing your Customs exemption unless you meet certain requirements. If you make a 

"swing back," don't risk your exemptions - ask the nearest Customs officer about these 

requirements. 

"Duty-Free" Shops 

Articles bought in "duty-free" shops in foreign countries are subject to U. S. Customs 

duty and restrictions but may be included in your personal exemption. 

Articles purchased in U.S. "duty-free" shops are subject to U.S. Customs duty if 

reentered into the United States. Example: Liquor bought in a "duty-free" shop before 

entering Canada and brought back into the United States may be subject to duty and 

Internal Revenue Tax. 

Note: Many travelers are confused by the term "duty-free" as it relates to shops. Articles 

sold in duty-free shops are free of duty and taxes only for the country in which that shop 

is located. Articles sold in duty-free shops are intended for export and are not to be 

returned to the country of purchase. So if your purchases exceed your personal 

exemption, that item may be subject to duty. Articles acquired in a U.S. duty free shop 

before you left the United States, may be included in your exemption. 

Keep Your Sales Slips 

You will find your sales slips, invoices, or other evidence of purchase not only helpful 

when making out your declaration, but necessary if you have unaccompanied articles 

D-8


being sent from the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam or any of the 

Caribbean Basin Countries. 

Packing Your Baggage 

Pack your baggage in a manner that will make inspection easy. Do your best to pack 

separately the articles you have acquired abroad. When the Customs officer asks you to 

open your luggage or the trunk of your car, please do so without hesitation. 

Photographic Film 

All imported photographic film that accompanies a traveler, if not for commercial 

purposes, may be released without examination by Customs unless there is reason to 

believe it contains objectionable matter. 

Films prohibited from entry are those that contain obscene matter, advocate treason or 

insurrection against the United States, advocate forcible resistance to any law of the 

United States, or films that threaten the life of or infliction of bodily harm upon any 

person in the United States. 

Developed or undeveloped U.S. film exposed abroad (except motion-picture film to be 

used for commercial purposes) may enter free of duty and need not be included in your 

Customs exemption. 

Foreign film purchased abroad and prints made abroad are dutiable but may be 

included in your Customs exemption. 

Procedures for Shipping Goods to the U.S. 

Merchandise acquired abroad may be sent home by you or by the store where 

purchased. As these items do not accompany you on your return, they cannot be 

included in your Customs exemption and are subject to duty when received in the 

United States. Duty cannot be prepaid. There are, however, special procedures to 

follow for merchandise acquired in and sent from the U.S. Virgin Islands, American 

Samoa, Guam or Caribbean Basin countries. 

All incoming shipments must be cleared through U.S. Customs. Customs employees 

cannot, by law, perform entry tasks for the importing public, but they will advise and give 

information to importers about Customs requirements. 

Customs collects duty (if any) as provided for in the tariff schedule, certain Internal 

Revenue taxes and sometimes, a user fee. Any other charges paid on import shipments 

are for handling by freight forwarders, commercial brokers, or for other delivery 

services. Some carriers may add other clearance charges that have nothing to do with 

Customs duties. 

Note: Customs brokers are not U.S. Customs employees. Brokers' fees are based on 

the amount of work done, not on the value of the personal effects or tourist purchases 

you shipped. The fee may seem excessive to you in relation to the value of the 

D-9


shipment. The most cost-effective thing to do is to take your purchases with you if at all 

possible. 

Mail Shipments (including parcel post) are generally cost-efficient. Parcels must meet 

the mail requirements of the exporting country as to weight, size, or measurement. 

The U.S. Postal Service sends all incoming foreign mail shipments to Customs for 

examination. Packages free of Customs duty are returned to the Postal Service for 

delivery to you by your home post office without additional postage, handling costs, or 

other fees. 

For packages containing dutiable articles, the Customs officer will attach a mail entry 

showing the amount of duty to be paid and return the parcel to the Postal Service. The 

duty and a $5 processing fee on dutiable packages will be assessed. In addition, the 

U.S. Postal Service changes a handling fee on the package when delivered. 

Formal entry may be required for some shipments (certain textiles, wearing apparel, 

and small leather goods) regardless of value. Customs employees cannot prepare this 

type of entry for you. Only you or a licensed Customs broker may prepare a formal 

entry. 

If you pay the duty on a package but feel that the duty was not correct, you may file a 

protest. This protest can be acted on only by the Customs office that issued the mail 

entry receipt - Customs Form 3419A - attached to your package. Send a copy of this 

form with your protest letter to the Customs office at the location and address shown on 

the left side of the form. That office will review the duty assessment based on the 

information furnished in your letter and, if appropriate, authorize a refund. 

Another procedure would be to not accept the parcel. You would then have to provide, 

within five days, a written statement of your objections to the Postmaster where the 

parcel is being held. Your letter will be forwarded to the issuing Customs office. The 

shipment will be detained at the post office until a reply from Customs is received. 

Express shipments may be sent to the United States from anywhere in the world. The 

express company usually provides or arranges for Customs clearance of the 

merchandise for you. A fee is charged for this service. 

Freight shipments, whether or not they are free of duty at the time of importation, must 

clear Customs at the first port of arrival into the United States, or, if you choose, the 

merchandise may be forwarded in Customs custody (in bond) from the port of arrival to 

another Customs port of entry for Customs clearance. 

All arrangements for Customs clearance and forwarding in bond must be made by you 

or someone you designate to act for you. Frequently, a freight forwarder in a foreign 

country will handle all the necessary arrangements, including the clearance through 

Customs in the United States by a Customs broker. A fee is charged for this service. 

D-10


This fee is not a Customs charge. If a foreign seller consigns a shipment to a broker or 

agent in the United States, the freight charge is usually paid only to the first port of 

arrival in the United States. This means there will be additional inland transportation or 

freight forwarding charges, brokers' fees, insurance, and other items. 

An individual may also effect the Customs clearance of a single, noncommercial 

shipment not requiring formal entry for you, if it is not possible for you to personally 

secure the release of the goods. You must authorize and empower the individual in 

writing to execute the Customs declaration and the entry for you as your unpaid agent. 

The written authority provided to the individual should be addressed to the "Officer in 

Charge of Customs" at the port of entry. 

Storage charges. Freight and express packages delivered before you return (without 

prior arrangements for acceptance) will be placed in storage by Customs after five days, 

at the expense and risk of the owner. If not claimed within six months, the items will be 

sold. 

Mail parcels not claimed within 30 days will be returned to the sender unless a duty 

assessment is being protested. 

State "Use Tax": 

Merchandise purchased abroad and brought back may be subject to a "use tax" in a 

number of states. The use tax on these purchases is assessed by states using 

information from Customs declarations completed by returning travelers at ports of 

entry. The use-tax rate is usually the same as the sales-tax rate in the traveler's county 

of residence. 

For Further Information 

Every effort has been made to indicate essential requirements; however, all regulations 

of Customs and other agencies cannot be covered in full. 

Customs offices will be glad to advise you of any changes in regulations which may 

have occurred since publication of this leaflet. Please consult your local telephone 

directory under "U.S. Government, Department of the Treasury, U.S. Customs Service," 

for a telephone number of the nearest Customs office. 

Frequently, We Are Asked Questions which are not Customs matters. If you want to 

know about... 

Baggage Allowance. Ask the airline or steamship line you are traveling on about this. 

Currency of Other Nations. Your local bank can be of assistance. 

Foreign Countries. For information about the country you will visit or about what 

articles may be taken into that country, contact the appropriate Embassy, consular 

office, or tourist information office.

(1) Infantry: One infantry company fights as dismounted infantry, 

executes a dismounted infiltration attack to seize a critical choke point along the attack 

route of the main body, and augments Independent Reconnaissance Patrols (IRP). The 

company may also provide squads to provide mounted security until reaching the 

...


engagement area and dismounts to provide suppression of enemy armored vehicles, 

dismounted reconnaissance, and local security. 

(2) Armor: One armor platoon fights as part of the MRBs during the 

attack, setting a support by fire, assaulting, and breaching obstacles with plow and 

roller. 

(3) Engineers: A 25-soldier sapper platoon augments the Engineer 

Reconnaissance Patrols (ERPs) and provides mobility support to obstacle clearing 

groups (engineer M113s, ACEs, and MICLICs). Most missions are performed with a 

USAREUR active duty engineer platoon or company. 

b. Movement to Contact (MTC). 

(1) Infantry: Two infantry platoons fight as dismounted infantry and 

perform dismounted reconnaissance. Each squad provides dismounted security for a 

tracked vehicle, dismounting upon contact to provide suppression of enemy armored 

vehicles, dismounted reconnaissance, and local security. 

(2) Armor: One armor platoon fights as part of the Advanced Guard 

Main Body (AGMB). 

(3) Engineers: A 25-soldier sapper platoon provides mobility support 

to obstacle clearing groups and countermobility support to the mobile obstacle 

detachment (MOD). Most missions are performed with a USAREUR active duty 

engineer platoon or company. 

c. Motorized Rifle Company (MRC) Defense. 

(1) Infantry: One infantry company establishes observation posts, 

conduct counter-reconnaissance patrols, and provide obstacle overwatch. 

(2) Armor: One armor platoon provides tank crews for the division 

reserve and the main MRC defense. 

(3) Engineers: A 25-soldier sapper platoon emplaces complex 

obstacles in support of the MRC countermobility plan. These missions are typically 

performed with a USAREUR active duty engineer platoon or company. 

d. Low-density MOS soldiers, such as TOW gunners, scouts, fire support 

teams, medics, mechanics etc., will be task organized to best support the OPFOR 

mission. Generally, this means they will be attached to battalion organic teams and 

sections for specific missions. If you have low-density personnel that want to train in 

their MOS, notify the 1-4 IN S3-plans section.

6. Sponsor Train Up 

a. Rules of engagement (ROE) briefing: Typically issued the day after the 

main body arrives. Topics covered include weather, safety, JMRC overview, 1-4 IN unit 

organization and SOPs, and the JMRC ROE. This briefing is mandatory for all soldiers 

that will train in the Box. 

b. Infantry: Typically a one to two day train-up. Tasks trained include 

dismounted breaching techniques, engaging combat vehicles with Dragon/Viper (MILES 

AT weapons), engaging aircraft with MILES Stinger, BLUFOR vehicle identification, 

actions with armored vehicles to include roll-over drills, and SINCGARS familiarization. 

c. Armor: Typically a two day train-up. Tasks trained include driver's safety, 

contact drills, action drills, BLUFOR vehicle identification, land navigation, breaching 

obstacles with plow/roller, and M60 tank PMCS. Before performing any missions 

against BLUFOR, tank crews will participate in a 3-5 day STX train-up designed to 

develop driver and crew skills. 

d. Engineers: Typically a one day train-up (two day train-up if USAREUR 

engineer augmentees are available). Tasks trained include OPFOR obstacle 

standards, emplace triple standard concertina, row minefields, construction of simulated 

road craters, Mobile Obstacle Detachment (MOD) obstacles, actions with armored 

vehicles to include roll-over drills, and obstacle breaching. 

7. ODT Unit Training Requirements 

a. Task Organization. While on ODT attached to the 1-4 IN, you are 

considered as one of the battalion's companies (infantry) or platoons (armor and 

engineer). 

b. Briefings. The ODT unit OIC/NCOIC will schedule two meetings with the 

1-4 IN Battalion Commander. 

D-15


(1) Initial Meeting. The first meeting will be a chance for the battalion 

commander to get to know the unit leadership and give you some initial guidance. This 

will usually take place immediately following the ROE briefing. 

(2) Training Plan Briefing. For the second meeting you and a 

representative from the 1-4 IN S3 will brief the battalion commander on your training 

plan/schedule for the duration of your ODT period. Find out what Box missions your 

unit is expected to execute and schedule internal training during any remaining time. 

Discuss with the S3 representative the resources you will require for your desired 

internal training. Finally, develop a written calendar with your training plan that you will 

brief to the battalion commander. Topics that you will brief include: 

(a) Deployment to JMRC 

(b) Unit readiness 

(c) METL tasks trained during predeployment 

(d) METL tasks you expect to train on ODT 

(e) Internal training plan 

(f) Logistical concerns 

(g) VIP visits 

(h) MWR trip 

(i) Redeployment plan 

c. Uniform. The uniform for training is blacks (tops, trousers, and Gore-Tex), 

LBE, Kevlar (stripped), and MILES gear. Flak vests are mandatory for soldiers riding in 

tracked vehicles. OPFOR augmentees will wear the Army camouflage soft cap with the 

black uniform when in garrison. Jungle boots are NOT authorized for use in the field 

between 01 Oct and 01 Apr. Officers and NCOs will wear pin-on rank. Uniform for the 

maintenance shops will be coveralls or full BDU uniform. Uniform for PT is the Army PT 

uniform. 

d. MWR Trips. You are allowed two days during ODT to dedicate to MWR 

trips. Typically these days are the last two days prior to your departure, however, you 

may be asked to schedule your trips at another time due to Box mission requirements. 

It is your responsibility to schedule your MWR trips. 1-4 IN does not do this for you. 

You may schedule MWR trips through ACS or ITR (Outdoor Recreation).. The intent 

in allowing you two days for MWR is that half of your unit stays back to begin clearing 

on the first day, and takes their MWR trip on the second day, while the other half takes 

D-16


their MWR trip the first day and clears on the second day. Regardless of when and 

where you go for your MWR days, you must notify the 1-4 IN Battalion Commander, 

sponsor company, 1-4 IN RC-LNO, and JMRC-RC-LNO of your plan. 

e. Daily Status Reports. All augmentee units must submit a daily status 

report. Infantry and engineer units will submit through their sponsor company. Armor 

outfits will submit through Company D. This report is due to the sponsor company no 

later than 0600 every day. Report the number of personnel present for duty, 

hospitalized, returned to CONUS, AWOL, sensitive item report, and equipment status. 

This report may be submitted telephonically to the sponsor company and the RTOC. 

The sponsor company will submit it’s internal daily status report along with the 

augmentee’s daily status report to the battalion PAC no later than 0615 every day. 

f. Incident Reports. All serious incidents (reportable accidents, injuries, 

death, lost/damaged sensitive items, AWOLs, hospitalizations, Red Cross messages, 

alcohol related incidents, etc.) must be reported to the 1-4 IN battalion commander or 

XO, sponsor company commander, 1-4 IN staff duty officer (SDO), your unit battalion 

commander, and the JMRC-RC-LNO ASAP. ODT unit company or detachment 

commanders should report serious incidents directly to the 1-4 IN battalion commander 

as soon as possible (includes calling him at home if necessary). Ensure you report the 

incident in your next day's status report. 

g. CQ. Every barracks building must have a 24-hr CQ and/or fire guard. 

Ensure that the 1-4 IN Staff Duty and RTOC has your 24-hr CQ phone number. 

h. Arms Room Inspection. You will forward a copy of your sensitive items to 

the 1-4 IN S2. Because your arms room will not have an alarm system, you will have to 

post a 24-hr guard on your arms room as long as you have weapons stored there 

(Annex B: Arms Room SOP, Tab C Life Support Information). 

8. Training Resources 

a. All of the battalion's training resources are available to you while on ODT. 

Typical resources used for ODT unit internal training include MOUT sites, helicopters, 

SAW and M240 Range (familiarization only), training areas, blanks, and pyrotechnics. 

All you have to do is request or schedule them with the 1-4 IN S3. 

b. All training resources must be requested through your sponsor company. 

This includes land, MOUT sites, TSC items (i.e. mine and bangalore kits), 

transportation, comminations, SOIs, maps, radio COMSEC fills, CL IV, and ammunition. 

c. Infantry companies and engineer platoons must request training and blank 

ammunition through their sponsor company. Ammunition requests must be turned in 72 

D-17


hours in advance of delivery. The following is a typical package of blank ammunition 

and pyrotechnics: 

4560 5.56 blank 

3800 5.56 linked blank 

3000 7.62 blank 

32 HC smoke 

32 Violet smoke 

72 White star illum 

72 White parachute illum 

450 ATWESS 

36 Trip Flares 

9. MILES 

a. It is a command responsibility to ensure that every soldier going into the 

box has a working MILES body harness and halo. Every weapon system must have a 

working MILES laser IAW 1-4 IN SOP. 

b. The infantry company's ADVON must draw MILES for their company and 

the attached engineer detachment at the scheduled appointment time, Bldg. 525, 466- 

2598. Appointments are scheduled through the RC-LNO. Armor platoons will not draw 

MILES through the MILES warehouse. The S3-training officer will make appointments 

for turn in of MILES. You must have someone from your sponsor company with you 

when you draw and turn in MILES. 

c. ADVON must know the numbers and types of weapons systems that your 

unit is bringing. Draw 10-20% extra for floats. Draw a controller gun and green key 

from the MILES warehouse or your sponsor company to test MILES. Draw a Viper and 

a Dragon for each squad. Draw a SAAF/MRAD (MILES zero box) to zero weapons. 

d. If your MILES does not work, you must take it to the MILES contact team 

for repair / replacement. Call the RTOC, 466-2424, or reference the OPORD for the 

time and location of the next scheduled MILES contact team. 

10. Safety 

a. Safety must be your first priority during training. You MUST have medics 

and a dedicated ambulance at all training. You can coordinate for 1-4 IN medic and 

ambulance support through your sponsor company. 

b. The JMRC ROE requires you to ensure that your soldiers have reliable 

communication while in the Box. You will NOT leave any soldiers alone in the training 

area without communication. It is a command responsibility to ensure that you have 

communication with the RTOC every time you enter the training area. You must report 

D-18


the number of personnel, location of training, type of training, number of sensitive items, 

and expected time of return. You must also do radio checks with the RTOC every hour 

and promptly inform them of your return to garrison upon the completion of training. 

c. It is a command responsibility to complete a risk assessment (See Annex 

A) prior to all training events. You must also have a risk mitigation plan. You will be 

asked for it if there is a training accident or incident. All soldiers must receive a safety 

briefing prior to the beginning of any training. Annex B is a sample safety and risk 

assessment briefing for your free time and MWR trips. 

d. It is your responsibility to monitor your soldiers' health during all training. 

Take immediate steps to prevent serious extreme weather or training injuries. Use the 

fluid replacement guide in Annex C when planning and conducting your training. 

e. Ensure your soldiers have the MEDEVAC frequency and know the nineline 

MEDEVAC procedures outlined in Appendix 1, Annex D, TAB C of this packet.

5. Brief summary of training conducted/observed. 

a. X/X-XXX augmented elements of 1-4 IN (OPFOR) during STX 

lane training, MRC Defense, and a Dismounted Infiltration Attack. 

b. During the MRC Defense X/X-XXX conducted eight separate 

platoon-level dismounted defense missions. These missions included 

planning and conducting the defense of a MOUT site, preparing and 

fighting from bunkers and trenches, providing overwatch for obstacles, 

holding key terrain, and providing observation posts to call for indirect fire. 

ODT soldiers also conducted counter-reconnaissance patrols during which 

they killed a COLT team and a dismounted scout patrol. 

c. During the Dismounted Infiltration Attack X/X-XXX had two 

platoons infiltrate and set anti-armor ambushes to disrupt BLUEFOR rear 

operations. ODT soldiers destroyed several high payoff targets, including 

the BLUEFOR task force TOC. They also captured the task force 

commander and staff, several OPORDS, and critical C2 information. 

d. The sponsor company trained and validated ODT soldiers on 

the VIPER and DRAGON anti-armor MILES weapon systems. Training also 

included OPFOR techniques for executing an initial breach of a wire/mine 

obstacle, OPSEC/COMSEC, and operation of the SINCGARS radio system. 

e. The ODT unit conducted daily sustainment operations to 

include PMCS, PT, and training meetings. ODT soldiers also conducted 

two MWR trips while at JMRC.

TAB G (History of 1-4 IN Battalion and Hohenfels) 

True Horror Stories 

1. Due to the limited facilities and transportation assets here at CMTC, units will 

have to share buses, latrine/shower buildings, and on rare occasions billets. The 

major unit, usually the infantry, will sign for and be responsible for the 

latrine/shower building. This facility must be secured while not in use. If not, the 

BLUFOR will use it and more than likely trash the building. Guess who has to 

clean the building prior to redeployment. With securing the building in mind, units 

must co-operate to ensure that all soldiers get a fair share of shower time. While 

three units were sharing the facility the key was misplaced. All three units were 

blaming each other, and the tension started building. It was agreed that the units 

would man a guard on the facility until the key turned up. This created more 

tension. One unit decided to throw another unit out of the showers, and lock the 

building up. To add to the discomfort of this situation, the 1SG of one of the units 

was in the shower when they were told to leave. This incident continued on with 

heated arguments, until a 1SG and SFC were throwing fists at each other. That 

evening, not only the two combatants, but the chain of command for each unit as 

well as all witnesses, had to spend three to four hours at the MP station. Lesson 

learned: Co-operate. There are limited resources, but enough to share. Don’t let 

things get out of hand. 

2. Advons usually arrive at CMTC on the Wednesday prior to the main body’s 

arrival. During this time, the advon takes receipt of the shipment, from a 

commercial carrier, of the unit’s equipment when it arrives. This shipment 

contained weapons, NVGs, radios, and field gear necessary to conduct training 

while at CMTC. One shipment arrived one week prior to the advon arrival. It 

shipment came during 1-4 Infantry block leave, so there were minimum soldiers 

on hand to assist. Because the storage containers are secured, they could not be 

opened up by 1-4 IN. The commercial carrier could not take the shipment back to 

the terminal for a later delivery, because they do not have the facilities to store 

weapons or sensitive items. The equipment was down loaded, by forklift, right in 

front of the 1-4 IN battalion headquarters building. One container was placed 

right in the CSMs parking space. 1-4 IN SDO had to keep an eye on the 

containers with instruction to physically check the locks every ½ hour. This 

caused a strain on the 1-4 IN. Lesson learned: Ensure that your state 

transportation office firmly nails down the delivery date for the units equipment. It 

needs to arrive when the advon is here. There is no system in place for anyone 

here to sign for or secure weapons and/or sensitive items. 

G-1


3. A unit was here in March, and had heard about the weather at the OCC, 

talked with the 1-4 IN RC-LNO, and received a briefing. They were in the box on 

an overnight dismounted mission after it had snowed all day. Few soldiers had 

overshoes, and some were even wearing jungle boots. They got cold and came 

in. Their mission failed. Lessons learned: Have your S2 research the weather. 

Be prepared for it. NCOs must conduct PCIs and hold soldiers accountable. 

Bring all your TA-50, as stated in the packing list. 

4. A unit redeployed, reporting all soldiers present to 1-4 IN. After everyone got 

off the plane at home, one wife was left standing alone, waiting for her husband. 

The unit commander, 1SG, and entire chain of command departed the airfield 

without a word to her. She called 1-4 IN and held us responsible for the 

whereabouts of her husband, who we thought, had redeployed. She had no 

understanding of who her husband’s squad leader, PSG, PL, etc. were, or what 

their relationship was to her husband. Upon investigation, we learned he was in 

a local hospital. We took control of him and got him home. Lessons learned: 

Ensure your Family Support Group is functional before deploying. Report all 

serious incidents promptly. Exercise basic leadership skills. 

5. A unit redeployed and reported an “up” to 1-4 IN. A 1-4 IN NCO saw a soldier 

from the RC unit on the Hohenfels installation and asked him what he was still 

doing there. The soldier replied that the Air Force was unable to take all of the 

unit’s equipment, so the unit had returned him to CMTC with 50 duffel bags (how, 

we don’t know) and the instructions to “Get it all home somehow”. We 

coordinated for it to happen. Lessons learned: Have a solid redeployment plan. 

Ensure your state plans for contingencies. Stay at the airbase if you lose 

transportation assets since it is at least a 4-hour drive from CMTC, one way. 

6. A group of soldiers decided to go to the on-post club the night before their unit 

redeployed. Two soldiers decided to drink, ignoring the no-drinking policy for 

their company, and got drunk. While at the club they were witnesses to a fight. 

In order to avoid speaking to the MPs about the fight, they decided to leave 

Hohenfels. The unit redeployed with both soldiers still missing, and decided to 

leave two soldiers back to look for them. The MPs located one of the soldiers 

later that night, and called the RC-LNO. Both the RC-LNO and 1-4 IN was 

unaware that two soldiers were AWOL and that two other soldiers were left on 

post to look for them. Once the issue was raised to the CMTC chain of 

command, search teams scoured the box and neighboring towns by ground and 

air, looking for the soldier that was still AWOL. His picture was even sent out all 

over Germany. A couple of days later someone reported spotting him in 

Frankfurt. Shortly thereafter his sister reported that he had called her from

HISTORY 

1ST BATTALION 4TH INFANTRY REGIMENT 

The 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry has 

served in the defense of the United 

States for two hundred years. The 

battalion traces its lineage to the 

original Fourth United States Infantry 

which was formed in 1792. 

THE INDIAN WARS 

During the era of the Indian Wars, 

The Fourth Infantry was sent, under 

the leadership of William H. Harrison, 

into the Northeast Territories which 

included Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. 

Hostile actions of the Indian tribes 

was stopping settlement of this vast 

area. General Harrison, who was later 

to become a United States President, 

led the Fourth Infantry and a force of 

volunteers into battle against the 

Indians at Tippecanoe. During this 

famous battle, the American forces 

completely routed the Indians. 

WAR OF 1812 

Within months after Tippecanoe, the 

Fourth Infantry marched into Canada 

(near Detroit, Michigan) in the 

opening days of the War of 1812. The 

Fourth Infantry was ambushed by a 

far superior force of British troops 

and their Indian allies. Responding 

to the enemy initiative the Fourth 

Infantry soldiers attacked the enemy 

breastworks, wounding the famous 

Indian chief Tecumseh, and 

completely routed the attackers. 

Later in the war the Fourth Infantry, 

as part of a larger force under 

General Hull, was surrounded and 

G-3 

lost their colors to the British, which 

was displayed in the Tower of 

London until 1889. General Hull was 

court-martialed and found guilty of 

cowardice. 

SEMINOLE CAMPAIGNS 

In the 1820s American settlers were 

pushing south into the areas of the 

Creek and Seminole Indian tribes. 

The Fourth Infantry, commanded by 

General Andrew Jackson, future 

president, was selected to stop the 

Indian threat. For the next twenty 

years, the Fourth Infantry was in 

almost continuous engagement with 

these tribes. The Indians were finally 

defeated and the states of Georgia, 

Alabama and Florida were open for 

immigrants. 

MEXICAN WAR 

As part of General Zachary Taylor’s 

invasion force, the regiment took part 

in all the major battles of the Mexican 

War: Palo Alto, Vera Cruz, Monterey 

and Chaputtepec. General Ulysses S. 

Grant was another of the future 

presidents who served with the 

Fourth infantry during this war. 

CIVIL WAR 

The regiment’s first engagement 

of the Civil War was in 1862 

during the Siege of Yorktown. 

Among other actions, the Fourth 

Infantry participated in the Battles of


Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, 

Chancellrosville, Wilderness, 

Gettysburg, Spotsylvania, Cold 

Harbor, Petersburg and Cedar 

Mountain. It was also present at 

Appomattox for Lee’s surrender. The 

former Lieutenant U.S. Grant, then 

commanding the armies of the Union, 

never forgot the Fourth Infantry with 

which he had served in Mexico and 

the many Indian wars. As 

recognition of it’s valor during the 

Civil War, he named the Fourth 

Infantry as the guard unit at his 

headquarters for the surrender 

ceremony. 

SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 

In 1898, The Spanish-American war 

started. The Fourth Infantry became 

part of a large American force that 

sailed for Cuba. It participated in the 

battle of El Caney and in the 

occupation of Santiago. Tropical 

fever disseminated the command and 

when the campaign ended, the 

Fourth Infantry returned to New York 

to recruit new troops 

WORLD WAR I 

The Fourth Infantry left for France in 

1918. The entire regiment was 

awarded the French Croix de Guerre 

for participation in the defensive 

actions at Aisne, Chateau, Thierry, 

Champagne-Marne, and in the 

offensive actions at Aisne, St. 

Michael, and Meusse-Argonne. The 

regiment lost 80 percent of its men 

due to constant artillery fire, and was 

relieved for a rest period. After the 

war the Fourth Infantry served as part 

of the Army of Occupation until 1919. 

WORLD WAR II 

In 1940, the regiment was earmarked 

for the defense of Alaska. The Fourth 

arrived in Alaska the same month 

France fell and started building Ft. 

Richardson. The major battle of the 

war for the Fourth Infantry was the 

Battle of Attu, a Japanese occupied 

island. After five straight days of 

G-4 

strong enemy opposition, the First 

Battalion linked up with other 

American forces who had landed on 

the opposite side of the island. The 

battalion was given the task of 

clearing entrenched Japanese from 

the high peaks of Fish Hook Ridge. 

Covered only by mortar and machine 

gun fires troops of Company A 

scaled steep cliffs while facing heavy 

enemy fire. Small groups of soldiers 

were clearly visible as they slowly 

inched their way up to the enemy 

held peaks. One observer later said 

that the scene resembled a 

Hollywood adventure movie rather 

than the reality it was. The Japanese 

were defeated and the Presidential 

Unit Citation was awarded to 

Company A for its heroism during the 

attack on the peaks. In 1945 the 

Fourth Infantry moved to Japan as 

part of the Army of Occupation along 

with the 25th Infantry Division. 

GERMANY 

In 1958 the Fourth Infantry Regiment 

sailed for Germany and accepted its 

new NATO mission. In 1965 the 

Battalion joined the Third Infantry 

Division in Aschaffenburg. In May 

1984 the Battalion transition to 

Bradley Fighting Vehicles, the finest 

equipment available. 

The Battalion inactivated on 16 

December 1987. It was reactivated on 

16 November 1990 in Hohenfels, 

Germany as the opposing forces at 

CMTC. As the OPFOR, 1-4 Infantry 

trains all USAREUR units for 

peacekeeping and combat 

operations. The OPFOR has trained 

over 200,000 U.S. soldiers and nearly 

50,000 allied soldiers in the past 

seven years. No USAREUR Unit has 

trained as many soldiers as 1-4 

Infantry (OPFOR).

HISTORY OF HOHENFELS 

Hohenfels takes it’s name from the rock formations prevalent in the area and is 

literally translated as “High Rock” or High Cliff”. the known history of Hohenfels dates 

back to 500 B.C. The area was mentioned by Julius Caesar in 15 B.C. when he led his 

army over the Alps to conquer the Celtic and Gaelic tribes. One of the strongholds of 

these tribes was located on top of Linderberg Hill. Caesar marched his army through the 

area and fought a battle here. This is now the South end of the Post, where the airstrip is 

today. As the Roman Empire declined around 470 A.D. the influence of the Huns 

increased. It is believed that the area was pillaged during a bloody massacre by the 

Huns. Graves of the dead have been found on nearby Eichelberg Hill (700 meters South 

of Grossbissendorf) during this century. Descendants of the Huns may still be found in 

this area today. Charlemagne drove back the Asiatics and was successful in uniting the 

Germanic tribes. Christianity was introduced and a period of peace followed. Toward 

the end of Charlemagne’s reign many of the Castles in this area were constructed. 

The name of Hohenfels was first mentioned in 936 A. D. in connection with the 

name “Graf Von Hohenfels”, who is thought to have been vassal to the Bishop of 

Regensburg. He built his castle in the steep rock above the valley. From here 

communication with the castle in Hohenberg-Scholssberg facilitated the construction of 

a warning system whereby the farmers in the area were able to seek safety whenever 

danger threatened. 

In 1080, August of Hohenfels was mentioned as a participant in a tournament at 

Augsburg. In 1250, Count Konrad gained notoriety for Hohenfels by entering into a 

conspiracy to murder the Roman Emperor Konrad IV when he stayed in the Monastery, 

St. Emmeram in Regensburg. The Emperor, however, was warned, and the count was 

reduced to a knight and exiled. Legend says that the Knight was struck by lightening 

and killed while fleeing, and the castle was plundered. 

In 1427, the Castle of Hohenfels was destroyed by the Hussites. The advent of 

the Bubonic Plague occurred soon after. In 1540, Hohenfels was awarded the Coat of 

Arms which remains today. During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), the castle was 

stormed and taken by Swedish Troops. 

The beautiful old church in Hohenfels was built from 1716-1726, and the Altar is 

said to have been placed on the spring of the “Forellenback” - trout stream. In 1743 

most of the town was destroyed by fire. It was difficult for Hohenfels to develop, and it 

was probably one of the poorest and most neglected sections of Germany and Bavaria 

until 1933. 

The re-establishment of the German Armed Forces, “Wehrmacht” in 1935 called 

for an additional troop training and firing area for the units of the VII Army Corps in 

Southern Bavaria. The Grafenwoehr training area no longer sufficed for all branches of 

the Whermacht Due to Troop size, type and terrain and locations. Because the area of 

Hohenfels was sparsely settled, the population was comparatively poor, lacking 

industrialization and mineral resources, the soil comparatively barren, and almost no 

water supply and only a few traffic lines were in existence, considering these factors, the 

training area was expected to help the people in the adjacent towns by providing 

employment. In 1937, the training area was set up. General Ritter Von Schobert, then 

Commanding General of VII AK, Later killed in Russia, named it “Hohenfels Troop 

Training Area.” Along with small arms and mortars, antiaircraft and artillery pieces. A 

Bunker was constructed in the Albertshof area where troops received training for the 

attack against the “Maginot Line” in France.

Hohenfels was used to keep prisoners of war beginning in late 1939, Polish troops 

were the first group to be held, and were accommodated at Camp Unteroedenhart. In the 

Spring of 1940 they were sent to work in factories and farms, ect. During the Summer of 

1940, 3,000 Belgian soldiers were brought to Camp Unteroedenhart, but were soon 

released or took up factory work in Germany. At the same time 500 French soldiers 

arrived and were billeted separately at Camp Unteroedenhart, where they worked until 

the end of the War. In 1941, 3,000 Yugoslavian Officers including two Generals and 300 

Orderlies were accommodated in Camp Unteroedenhart until February 1942 when some 

were released and others were transferred to other officers’ camps. About 2,800 Russian 

soldiers were brought to Camp Unteroedenhart. They were under the care of Swedish 

Red Cross. In the Fall of 1943 a small camp was established on the training area near 

Rohrbach to house 3,000 American POW’s. On April 1945, between 1300-1400 hrs., the 

American Army entered the training area with 9 tanks, having come from Velburg / 

Hohenburg via Willertsheim/ Albertshof. There was no German resistance. Units of the 

German Divisions “Goetz von Berlichingen,” as well as other weak units, had already left 

in the direction of Regensburg. Without resistance, the U.S. tanks moved to Hohenfels 

and proceeded to the Vils and Naab Rivers at Kallmunz. The permanent party of the 

training area were captured near Fishback in the Bayerisher Wald. 

In May, 1945, the first Displaced Persons, most of them former internees from the 

German concentrations camps of Flossenberg, Hersbruck, and Buchenwald, arrived at 

Hohenfels. By July 1945 a total of 13,000 DP’s (Poles, Ukrainians, Jews, Ect.) were 

billeted in Camps Nainhof, Pollenricht and Oberlinder. At first the Americans 

administered but later the United Nations took over. By the Spring of 1949 the DP’s were 

repatriated. By October 1951 almost all the former villages in the Hohenfels training area 

were resettled. Barracks from the camps were moved to the small towns and were used 

as temporary dwellings, stables and barns. 

In the Fall of 1951 the area was requisitioned for use as the U.S. Army training 

area. In a meeting between the German federal Government, the Bavarian States 

Government, the Land Commission of Bavaria and the U.S. Army Representatives held 

17 August 1951 in Parsberg, it was agreed to extend the Old German Wehrmacht area to 

the west. On or about 1 October 1951, the American Army moved an advance party into 

Camp Nainhof. The training area was divided into four maneuver areas (A,B,C,D) with a 

total of 52 ranges for all types of weapons. 

The German Army, the “Bundeswehr”, began training at Hohenfels about 1960. 

Since then thousands of troops have been trained here.
