NEWS RELEASES from the United States Department of Defense
The Department of Defense announced today that the United States
would cease operations at the Army Prepositioned Site (APS) at Eygelshoven,
Netherlands.
Due to U.S. European Command force structure realignment and
transformation, and the attendant reduction in storage requirements that has
occurred in the central region of Europe during the past several years, the
U.S. Army storage facility at Eygelshoven has been identified as excess to the
Army's needs and will begin the process to be returned to the host nation.
Consequently, Army Field Support Battalion-Eygelshoven will be
inactivated and U.S. operations at APS Eygelshoven will cease by the end of
September 2006. These actions are expected to save $13.1 million annually,
and will affect eight U.S. service members, thirteen DoD civilian employees,
28 host nation employees, and 144 host nation contractors.
