A lapse in appropriations before the Sept. 30, 2025, deadline has forced portions of the government to shut down. The shutdown will impact services provided by the Garrison at installations across Rose Barracks, Tower Barracks, Hohenfels and Garmisch.  

During this time our U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria team will continue to deliver life, health, and safety services for those working and living in our community.
