STUTTGART, Germany \u2013 Logistics Readiness Center Stuttgart has a new chief of supply and services, but he\u2019s not new to Stuttgart, he\u2019s not new to the LRC mission, and he\u2019s not new to supply and services.<\/p>\n

Ed Romain was working at U.S. Africa Command in Stuttgart before accepting a job with LRC Stuttgart supporting the U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart community. Also, his last position as an active-duty Soldier was in Stuttgart at the 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group, on Panzer Kaserne where he\u2019s at now with LRC Stuttgart. And this is not his first LRC nor his first position as chief of supply and services. Before coming back to Stuttgart, Romain was the chief of supply and services at LRC West Point, N.Y.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old former staff sergeant who is originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., has been an Army civilian employee for nearly five years. Before that, he was a Soldier and a supply sergeant for seven more. Romain said he loves serving in the Army \u2013 in and out of uniform \u2013 and he loves supporting Army communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the fact that I\u2019m serving in an organization that\u2019s bigger than myself and my team,\u201d said Romain, who oversees about two dozen Army civilians and host nation employees who work at the Central Issue Facility, Installation Property Book Office and the LRC\u2019s Food Service Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support our nation, we support our warfighters, and we support our family members. I love my job, and I love what we do. The Army is a phenomenal organization, and I\u2019m extremely proud to be a part of it during this exciting year. Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Army!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Romain said his team at LRC Stuttgart\u2019s supply and services division provides vital support to the entire USAG Stuttgart community. Whether that\u2019s issuing organizational clothing and individual equipment to servicemembers across all the commands in the Stuttgart community, managing the property books for USAG Stuttgart, or supporting the 10th Special Forces Group with dining facility attendants and a comprehensive food service program \u2013 Romain said his team is comprised of some of the best Army professionals he\u2019s worked with in his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a highly skilled and phenomenal team, a mix of local national employees and Department of the Army civilians. The LNs provide us with great continuity and institutional knowledge, and they know the community extremely well. The DA civilians bring an equal amount of knowledge and experience with them. A lot of them are Veterans, like me, with both installation support experience and combat support experience,\u201d said Romain.<\/p>\n

\u201cCombined, they work very well together, supporting the USAG Stuttgart community,\u201d said the proud father of a 14-year-old son and loving husband. \u201cI\u2019m excited to continue doing that with them and growing with them as we continue providing world-class support to this community.\u201d<\/p>\n

LRC Stuttgart is one of eight LRCs under the command and control of the 405th Army Field Support Brigade. LRCs execute installation logistics support and services to include supply, maintenance, transportation, and food service management as well as clothing issue facility operations, hazardous material management, personal property and household goods, passenger travel, property book operations, and non-tactical vehicle and garrison equipment management. When it comes to providing day-to-day installation services, LRC Stuttgart directs, manages, and coordinates a variety of operations and activities in support of USAG Stuttgart.<\/p>\n

The 405th AFSB is assigned to U.S. Army Sustainment Command and headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The brigade provides materiel enterprise support to U.S. forces throughout Europe and Africa \u2013 providing theater sustainment logistics; synchronizing acquisition, logistics and technology; and leveraging U.S. Army Materiel Command\u2019s materiel enterprise to support joint forces. For more information on the 405th AFSB, visit the official website<\/a> and the official Facebook site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Army will celebrate its 250th birthday on June 14.
