Troops and families arriving new to country are required to self-isolate and shelter in place for a minimum of two weeks in assigned quarters, before they can start the usual routine. USAG Ansbach has come up with a system of support services to make the Restriction of Movement (ROM) as easy as possible for the new arrivals.

Once a month a pick-up of bulk trash takes place in all USAG Ansbach housing areas. Housing residents can place their bulky items in the grassy area near the road by their building on the evening prior to the scheduled day, as pick-up can be as early as 7 a.m. It is important that no bulk items are placed anywhere outside that assigned time frame!

Wildlife crosses roads mostly in the evening and early morning hours, often close to stretches of forests and fields. They do not understand the speed of a vehicle and will not wait for a car to pass before they try to cross the road.

The Ansbach region features several golf courses; most of them are private clubs that welcome guest players. Miniature golf courses are often found in the cities and offer a fun outing for the whole family. 

In the middle of March as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the United States, the Army made mission adjustments to focus on protecting the force, posturing for global operational readiness, and supporting the national effort to fight the novel coronavirus.
