The USAG Ansbach Central Issue Facility (CIF) located at Barton Barracks, Bldg. 5264, will be closed to regular appointments and walk-ins February 2-16, 2026, to implement a new platform to manage clothing and individual equipment. Beginning Feb. 17, the CIF transitions to appointment-only operations.

The Army has mandated the implementation of the new Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment (OCIE) platform known as the Soldier Equipping and Asset Management (SEAM).

This new SEAM platform will enhance Soldier readiness, improve property accountability, strengthen financial auditability, and provide a more efficient and user friendly interface for all OCIE operations.
