DW: Food banks are among the resources listed for soldiers and their families on a webpage for a US army base in Germany as a government shutdown has ripple effects on troops overseas.
Food banks are among the resources listed for soldiers and their families on a webpage for a US army base in Germany as a government shutdown has ripple effects on troops overseas. The US is entering its longest-ever government shutdown, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warning that troops won't get their Nov. 15 paycheck if it continues. On its website, the US Army Garrison Bavaria published a guide with tips on how soldiers in Germany can cope during the shutdown. It listed links to emergency benefits and loan options. The web page also contained a "running list of German support organizations for your kit bags" that included charities like Foodsharing e.V and Essen für Alle (Food for All), as well as the app Too Good To Go. These links and recommendations were swiftly removed from the US Army Garrison Bavaria main webpage after gaining attention, but they remain in a PDF. The US Army Garrison Bavaria is the army's largest group outside the US, with a total of roughly 36,000 troops across four facilities in Germany. In October, the German government said it would temporarily cover salaries for around 11,000 local employees at US military bases as a goodwill gesture, expecting reimbursement once the shutdown ends.
