USAG Grafenwoehr Public Affairs Office
The U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr Public Affairs Office is the source for news, events and information in the Bavaria Military Community, which includes Grafenwoehr, Rose Barracks, Hohenfels and Garmisch. The PAO staff manages the USAG Grafenwoehr website, The Bavarian News online, The Weekly Newsletter, the marquees (electronic billboards) on Rose Barracks and Grafenwoehr, and the garrison’s Facebook and related social media products.
In addition, the office works closely with AFN-Bavaria TV and Radio, tenant units and public affairs offices, other government outlets, and U.S. and German media.
The public affairs office does not provide photo support for ceremonies or events unless it is covering them for the newspaper (AR 360-1, Chap. 13-4). However, our staff accepts submissions from the community for our information products. To contribute, see our submission standards below.
To request photo or video documentation of ceremonies, make a request through the Joint Multinational Training Command’s Visual Information Ordering Site (link to https://www.vios-east.army.mil/Login/Login.aspx).
To reach AFN-Bavaria, call DSN 476-3172 / 3173, Civ. 09662-83-3172 / 3173.
