Cancelled Closure As part of the ongoing realignment of US forces in Europe, the Army shut down most operations in Mannheim in 2012. Earlier plans (as of September 2012) called for closure of all USAREUR facilities in Mannheim and Heidelberg by 31 August 2013. In February 2015, USAREUR announced Coleman Barracks will be retained temporarily as an interim site to store and maintain pre-positioned vehicles and equipment that will be used to support U.S. Army Regionally Aligned Forces when they rotate into theater for training, exercises or contingency operations. Upon final closure the facility will be returned to the German government. In August 2021, the US Army announced that the presence in Mannheim was to be kept as part of an effort to deploy an additional 500 troops to Europe.
