The U.S. Army's strength is built on strong communities.

At the 2025 Army Community Partnership Awards Ceremony, we recognized outstanding partnerships between Army installations and local communities that enhance readiness, improve quality of life for Soldiers and families, and strengthen the places we live and serve.

These partnerships reflect what’s possible when collaboration, trust, and shared purpose come together in support of the Army's mission.

USAG Ansbach Community residents will undergo mandatory, third-party housing inspections of all Army Family Housing from Jan. 22-30, 2026, as part of a Congressional mandate to ensure safe and healthy living conditions on military installations.

The inspections are the result of the FY20 and FY21 National Defense Authorization Act and aim to bring in a third-party to offer an unbiased evaluation of the condition of military housing.
