Our Mission
The Public Affairs Office supports USAG Stuttgart by communicating on behalf of the installation and its leadership - providing clear, accurate, timely information to internal and external audiences. We employ a variety of communication strategies, including internal news and information products, social media, media engagement, and public outreach.
Command Information
The Command Information section provides news and information to members of the Stuttgart Military Community by producing an assortment of command information products for internal audiences. This includes the StuttgartCitizen.com, the annual Stuttgart Welcome Guide, garrison social media content, and management of the My Army Post App and garrison website.

USAG Stuttgart's official website is managed and maintained by the Garrison Public Affairs Office. Need an update? Reach out to us at usarmy.stuttgart.id-europe.list.pao@army.mil
The Stuttgart Citizen
The Stuttgart Citizen is an online newspaper published by USAG Stuttgart's Public Affairs Office as part of the garrison commander’s communications tools. Its purpose is to transmit command information to the Stuttgart military community; therefore, most articles fulfill this objective. Culture and leisure features are used to lend variety and encourage military families to enjoy the communities outside their installation.

Media Relations
The Media Relations section assists members of the news media in reporting on USAG Stuttgart, ensuring the Stuttgart Military Community and the German public has access to the information they need to understand the military's role in the community, in support of the United States Army and of the nation in its overseas mission.
Responsibilities
- Releasing information, arranging interviews, responding to media inquiries, and coordinating access to the installation for news media representatives,
- Inviting reporters to significant events that highlight missions, programs, or issues of interest to the public,
- Providing media awareness and media engagement training to members of the USAG Stuttgart community.
Media Escort Requirements
USAG Stuttgart is a closed military installation.
For security reasons, installation access rules require a public affairs escort to be present any time members of the media conduct news-gathering activities on post.
For invited events, media should RSVP in accordance with the instructions provided in the news release to coordinate a public affairs escort onto the installation.
Service members, military family members, and others with installation access who are interested in engaging the media are encouraged to contact our office for assistance. All media must be escorted onto USAG Stuttgart by a member of the Public Affairs Office. If the story is of limited official interest, we may suggest meeting with the reporter off-post (where a public affairs escort is not required).
For stories not related to the subject's military affiliation, we can generally provide an escort onto the installation only if the story cannot be adequately reported without such access.
Policy Notice
Our office does not facilitate "reaction" stories (stories seeking service member or military family member reactions to issues of current interest or events) and "person-on-the-street" interviews - reporters may solicit military personnel and their families for their reactions to current events via other means, but we will not use military resources to provide an escort onto the installation for these types of stories.
Possession of a military-issued ID card or visitor pass does not constitute permission to conduct news gathering activities on any part of the installation, including family housing, without a public affairs escort. Passholders and/or the visitor's military sponsor may be held responsible if a pass or military ID is misused.
Community Relations
The Community Relations section conducts programs to support and sustain relationships between leaders and service members at USAG Stuttgart and our neighboring community leaders and citizens. For security purposes, the Public Affairs Office does not facilitate tours of USAG Stuttgart installations to the general public.
Capital City Visitation Program
The Capital City Visitation Program is a special no-cost tour which provides USAG Stuttgart military community members the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Stuttgart, the host nation political system, and the development of the postwar friendship between the U.S. and Germany.
The entire program is offered at no charge to all DoD-ID card holders aged 16 years and older (anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult).
Spots are limited and are offered on a first-come, first serve basis. Specific information about itinerary and logistics are provided upon confirmation prior to the tour.
Community Requests
USAG Stuttgart is a closed military installation. For security purposes, our office does not facilitate tours to the public for unofficial purposes. All visitors must be escorted by a sponsor.
Community requests for things such as guest speakers, marching unit, honor guard, military equipment display, or military band must be submitted using DD Form 2536.
Please submit requests at least 60 days prior to your event as most requests require a legal review and direct coordination with units.
