KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany \u2013 As one of the Life Cycle Management Commands supporting operations in Europe for U.S. Army Materiel Command, U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command provides Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) depot-level maintenance capabilities and support to U.S. Army Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n

After nearly three years of planning and work, a newly renovated and modernized maintenance facility project was completed and placed into operation recently at CECOM\u2019s Tobyhanna Army Depot Forward Repair Area-Europe on Panzer Kaserne in Kaiserslautern.<\/p>\n

Joseph Scheff, the deputy to the commander at 405th Army Field Support Brigade, and Command Sgt. Maj. Terrell Brisentine, the 405th AFSB command sergeant major, visited the newly renovated maintenance facility April 8. They were greeted by members of the depot forward repair area team, who briefed them on the infrastructure upgrades and renovation work, the facility\u2019s capabilities, and the mission of CECOM\u2019s Tobyhanna Army Depot Forward Repair Area-Europe.<\/p>\n

At a cost of about $2 million dollars to renovate, modernize and equip the maintenance facility using European Defense Initiative funds, and about $150,000 to recondition and refurbish the exterior and replace the roof, paid for by U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz, building 3042 on Panzer Kaserne is another example of the Army\u2019s commitment to modernization and infrastructure investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt provides the team an up-to-date facility with increased capacity and capability to improve our work efficiency and our morale,\u201d said Kevin Beck, the Tobyhanna Army Depot Europe branch chief. \u201cWe have a new facility, and our people are \u2013 more than ever \u2013 excited to come to work every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
