US Army Garrison in Bavaria Pulls Food-Aid Guide as Shutdown Puts Troop Pay at Risk

German authorities are temporarily covering wages for U.S. military civilians in Germany.

Overview

  • The garrison briefly posted an emergency list pointing personnel to German support options, naming Tafel Deutschland and apps like Too Good To Go, before removing it.
  • An Army IMCOM spokesperson said the guide was prepared for civilian employees rather than soldiers and will be reposted with clearer labeling.
  • Archived versions of the deleted guidance remain accessible online even though the garrison took it down.
  • Soldiers received October pay, and Berlin advanced about €43 million to cover October wages for roughly 11,000 U.S. Army civilian staff, with November payments still uncertain.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned in comments reported by CBS News that military pay could stop after November 15 if the budget impasse persists.
