6 BAUMHOLDER, Germany Results from the most recent Army Family Housing Tenant Satisfaction Survey show the Baumholder Military Community logged a record-breaking 38.5% participation rate, the highest participation for garrisons in Europe, and among the highest in the Army.
According to Housing Office leaders, this year’s participation rate can be attributed to the dedication of volunteers, who went the extra mile to collect responses.

KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany Health officials expect more coronavirus vaccines to be available to service members and families in Europe, where vaccination rates have lagged behind military communities in the U.S. and many overseas installations.
