Central Processing Facility

The USAG Stuttgart Central Processing Facility (CPF) is the one-stop in/out-processing center.

All incoming service members—regardless of branch—along with Reserve and National Guard personnel and Department of Defense civilians, are required to complete in‑processing upon arrival and out‑processing prior to departure through the USAG Stuttgart Central Processing Facility. This requirement applies to personnel in grades E‑1 through O‑6 (or equivalent), as well as Reserve, National Guard, and Army members on ADOS, ADOS‑RC, or mobilization orders of 90 days or more who are assigned, attached, or performing duty within USAG Stuttgart.

General Officers and Senior Executive Service personnel should request an executive in/out-processing checklist through their unit liaison

Foreign military members, NAF employees, and contractors are not required to in/out‑process but may visit the CPF for assistance as needed.

Service members from all military branches, Reserve/National Guard personnel and DOD civilians are required to completely in-process at the start of the order through USAG Stuttgart's Central Processing Facility.

• Rank of Private (E-1) through Colonel (O-6) or grade equivalent
• Army personnel on active duty for Operational Support (ADOS), ADOS-Reserve Component, or mobilization orders for 90 or more days
• Reserve/National Guard personnel on ADOS orders over 179 days in length assigned, attached, or otherwise performing duty in USAG Stuttgart
• Foreign military, NAF employees, and contractors are not required to in-process USAG Stuttgart but are always welcome to visit our office for assistance with in-processing

Newcomers can initiate in-processing, even before their arrival, by completing the Joint In-Processing Needs Assessment and sending it, with a copy of their orders, to the CPF In-Processing Inbox. Newcomers can provide a hard copy of the completed Joint In-Processing Needs Assessment and orders at CPF upon arrival.

CPF will process the completed Joint In-Processing Needs Assessment and provide a personalized USAG Stuttgart Installation In-Processing Checklist along with the mandatory in-person USAG Stuttgart In-Processing Brief Schedule by email.

The USAG Stuttgart In-Processing Brief is a mandatory brief held at Panzer Kaserne in Bldg. 2913, 1st Floor, Central Processing Facility on Tuesdays and Thursdays (during peak season only) from 0800-1600 Newcomers will be scheduled to attend the in-processing brief the earliest day they are available per their estimated date of arrival.

The USAG Stuttgart Installation In-Processing Checklist enables newcomers to attend all required community in-processing briefs and finish with self-made appointments to the agencies that will specialize to their tailored needs.

The bulk of the in-processing experience can be done with a simple internet connection affording customers time to focus on the important and sometimes daunting tasks involved in getting settled into a new community.
