Following in his father\u2019s footsteps, he and his two brothers all chose to serve in the military, too. Davis, who is the oldest of the three, is a retired Air Force technical sergeant. His brother Jefferey is a retired Coast Guard petty officer first class, and his brother Jonathan is a captain in the Army \u2013 and they\u2019re all logistics.<\/p>\n<p>Davis works at the 405th Army Field Support Brigade\u2019s Logistics Readiness Center Ansbach, the logistics experts and the face for customers on everything logistics in the Ansbach community, to include Illesheim and Katterbach.<\/p>\n<p>After retiring from the Air Force in 2017, Davis took first took a job with the Exchange before accepting a job offer with LRC Ansbach. He started out at LRC Ansbach working at the Central Issue Facility, then the Drivers Testing and Training Station and now he\u2019s at the Transportation Motor Pool, working as a transportation specialist.<\/p>\n<p>As a transportation specialist, Davis helps manage all the daily operations there. This includes the fuel card program, key control, vehicle dispatch operations, customer service, bus driver scheduling and routes, and more. Recently, per a higher-level directive, a large quantity of LRC-managed non-tactical vehicles across Europe were transferred directly to the operational units. At LRC Ansbach, the number of NTVs were reduced by nearly 200 percent from over 350 to under 130. But Davis said since the program change is still relatively new, and the unit representatives LRC Ansbach supports often still need their assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still assist the customers when needed, however it\u2019s now their responsibility [to manage their assigned non-tactical vehicles],\u201d Davis said. \u201cBecause it\u2019s such a new program, the customers have never been through all this before \u2013 like getting new vehicle registrations and getting new fuel cards \u2013 so they are coming back to us asking for assistance, which of course we provide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis said he really enjoys working at LRC Ansbach. He likes the people he works with and the mission supporting the U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach community, and he likes living in Bavaria, again. As a child, Davis and his brothers lived in Bamberg with their Army dad and their German mom, so it\u2019s no wonder he enjoys living back in Bavaria, now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"editor-image single\">\n<figure class=\"photo cur-photo\">\n          <span class=\"centered-image\"><br \/>\n            <span class=\"img-container\"><br \/>\n              <a class=\"rich-text-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/api.army.mil\/e2\/c\/images\/2024\/05\/13\/d3fa4862\/original.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LRC Ansbach transportation specialist has two brothers who also serve in military logistics\" src=\"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/size0-full-259.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n              <\/a><br \/>\n                          <\/span><br \/>\n          <\/span><figcaption>\n                        <span class=\"image-caption\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"caption-text\"><br \/>\n                Stephen Davis, a transportation specialist with Logistics Readiness Center Ansbach, has two brothers who also work in logistics with the military.

In addition, Davis has a 23-year-old daughter who lives in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe enjoy all the opportunities to travel here and getting to see all this history and experience all these different cultures that are all consolidated in this region of Central Europe. And Ansbach is a small community. My son goes to school here, we\u2019re right here in Beautiful Bavaria, and it\u2019s just perfect,\u201d said the 49-year-old logistics expert whose last job in the Air Force before retiring was 52nd Logistics Readiness Squadron flight service center supervisor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been in logistics my whole career, pretty much,\u201d said Davis, who holds a master\u2019s degree in cybersecurity from the University of Maryland Global Campus. \u201cI worked in logistics for 20 years with the Air Force, and for the last six years I\u2019ve been with Logistics Readiness Center Ansbach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LRC Ansbach is one of eight LRCs under the command and control of the 405th AFSB.
