Ansbach Retired Soldier Council
USAG Ansbach Retired Soldier Council Charter (5 Nov 24)
The Garrison Retired Soldiers Council (GRSC) is a group of Retired Soldiers whose primary mission is to provide lines of communication between the retired community and the Garrison Command Group.
They provide the Garrison Commander advice and recommendations regarding vital issues and concerns of Retired Soldiers, Spouses and Surviving Spouses.
The council members provide information to the retired community and collect information about suggested improvements in the local Garrison area.
For improvements/changes that cannot be accomplished at the Garrison level, they refer the issue to the Army in Europe Retired Soldiers Council (AERSC) for resolution at that level.
