U.S. Army Garrison Baden-Württemberg oversaw a diverse group of United States military communities in the southwest of Germany, focusing on maintaining a high quality for the life of soldiers, civilians and family members under the U.S. Army's Installation Management Command Europe Region Headquarters at Patton Barracks in Heidelberg.
It provided support and supervision for U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, among others.
From 2005 until 2008, USAG Heidelberg fulfilled both the local community support and regional command functions.
Besides providing homes for thousands of American forward-deployed soldiers and their families, until 2013 the communities also served as bases for several major headquarters, including U.S. Army Europe and IMCOM-Europe Region.
