A total of 38 members of Allied Force Command Heidelberg participated in OUP with 36 meeting the criteria to receive the award by serving for a total of thirty days. Twenty-two others received their medal separately or after reassignment to another military unit.

Your efforts are appreciated and have added to this command’s outstanding reputation and legacy. Thank you.”

Lt. Col. Bjørn Kristiansen provides an overview of the upcoming 19th Doctrine and Procedures Working Group held at Campbell Barracks, Germany, November 26- 28. The event served as a venue to pass information about deployments, exercises and deployment activities to the new Land Command in Izmir.

The 19th Doctrine and Procedures Working Group (D&PWG) was held at Allied Force Command Heidelberg, November 26-28.

The group also serves as a forum for raising key issues from the GRF/L community to the NCS and to share experiences between the GRF/L community gained through deployments, exercises and de- velopment activities.

The specific objectives of the 19th D&PWG were to provide updates about Allied Command Operations reform initiatives, the outcomes of the Bi-Force Command Commander’s Conference the NATO land Lt.

After singing Christmas songs, children were treated to a surprise visit from Santa Claus. Each took their turn sitting on Santa’s lap and receiving a Christmas present.

“I had a lot of fun and really liked getting presents from Santa Claus,” said Marley Freeman, daughter of Lt. Col. Charles Freeman.

While children played with their toys and waited their turn to visit the jolly old man in the red suit, attendees chose from an array of food such as fruit, miniature sandwiches with various meats, cheeses and vegetables, deviled eggs, Christmas cookies and chocolate dipped marshmallows with sprinkles and candy canes.
