A Guide To Installations And Services

Ramstein Air Base

GO TO TELEPHONE DIRECTORY

Ramstein, the largest US Air Force base in Germany, is not only the headquarters of the United States Air Forces Europe, but also the central airlift hub for the European Theater and a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) installation.

As the headquarters it exercises day-to-day command and control over all USAFE units from Great Britain to Turkey. As the airlift hub it operates a gigantic passenger terminal to rival the ones at commercial airports. And it soon is to be the home of a huge shopping/community center, right across the street from the new passenger center.

The base, located in the federal state of Rheinland-Pfalz, opened in 1952 following construction under the provisions of a reciprocal agreement with France, which was then the occupying authority in this part of Germany.

Rheinland-Pfalz, in the southwest corner of Germany, is the country's main wine growing region and also the location of its largest unbroken stretch of forest, the Pfalzerwald.

The air base is part of the Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC), home of more than 57,000 Americans and the largest American community outside of the U.S. Ramstein, Kapaun, Air Station and Vogelweh are the predominately Air Force communities within KMC.

As a NATO installation, Ramstein has Canadian, German, British, French, Belgian, Polish, Czech, Norwegian, Danish and Dutch military personnel in addition to the Americans.

The base's beginnings are colorful. Its construction came as no surprise to the local inhabitants who were no strangers to airpower. The Luftwaffe had converted a section of the local autobahn into an airstrip at the beginning of World War II. The advancing U.S. Army Air Forces also used the airstrip during the final months of the conflict.

When it opened in 1952, the base served as the home for the 86th Fighter-Bomber Wing and its fleet of F-84F Thunderstreaks. For a while Ramstein was headquarters of the Seventeenth Air Force, but that headquarters moved to nearby Sembach Air Base in 1972 to make room for United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) Headquarters, which moved to Ramstein AB from Lindsay Air Station, Wiesbaden. Ramstein had a major change of mission in 1994, when it switched roles from a fighter base to an airlift one.

The handling of passengers and cargo switched there from Rhein Main Air Base, making necessary the construction of the new passenger terminal. Features of it include automated luggage handling and passenger bridges for boarding planes right from the terminal. It also has air conditioning, dining and shopping facilities, a children's play area and a TV lounge.

The host unit at Ramstein is the 86th Airlift Wing, whose commander also serves as the Kaiserslautern Military Community commander.

Einsiederlerhof Air Station

Einsiederlerhof Air Station hosts the Warrior Preparation Center (WPC), a fully functional, computer-assisted war-gaming center, providing operational-level training and exercises to US and NATO staffs worldwide. The WPC was initiated and is directed by both USAFE and USAREUR.

Kapaun Air Station

Another element of the Vogelweh complex is Kapaun Air Station, an Air Force facility. Among its units is the Kisling NCO Academy, which provides professional military education to Air Force NCOs. The school is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and each graduate earns 10 semester hours of college credit through the Community College of the Air Force. The school is named in honor the late Richard D. Kisling, who had a distinguished career as an Air Force NCO and rose to become Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force.

The Defense Commissary Agency also has its headquarters on Kapaun.

The Air Force also has a number of facilities in Vogelweh.

The Hitch Tent: Off-Road Camping Simplified

by Steve Fennell

February 23, 2020

Marie Clark/Permanent Glimpse

The Hitch Tent tips the scales at approximately 27 kg (60 lbs) and has a 272 kg (600 lb) person capacity.

Words by Steve Fennell

It’s always exciting for us to discover new products that have multi-purposes – or better yet – products that have ‘multi-advantages.’ So when we saw The Rubicon Expedition Products’ Hitch Tent in the new Overland Experience at the 2019 SEMA show, we have to admit we liked its unique design, function, and most of all, its ability to offer added convenience whether you’re at a destination or travelling to one.

Many of today’s Roof Top Tents (RTT’s) can be set up or taken down within 10 minutes or less, depending on the model and routine practice. What made the Hitch Tent so practical to us, is once it’s set up at a basecamp, it can stay set up – foregoing the common repetitive RTT procedure for when you’re going exploring, to re-fuel or replenish supplies – while still providing all the comfort and function of an RTT.

Marie Clark Permanent Glimpse

Secure, adjustable legs ensure its always levelled on a variety of terrain.

Here’s how it works.

The Hitch Tent is a departure from conventional RTT mounting in the sense that its base platform connects to any Class II two-inch hitch receiver (or better), vertically off the tailgate of a vehicle. While its design frees up space for additional cargo on the roof, it also prevents the vehicle from being too top heavy and greatly reduces wind resistance, providing fuel savings over the duration of a trip.

Measuring less than five feet ((122 x 122 x 20 cm (48 x 48 x 8 in) closed and attached to be precise), the Hitch Tent’s two sets of legs are secured with stainless hardware during transport and solidly built with CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum . While in the vertical position, they easily fold out, lock securely in place and extend to various lengths to accommodate uneven terrain. They also feature moveable feet at the base to ensure added security.

The RubiConX Hitch Hub is the unit’s two-way locking mechanism.

Additionally, by unlocking what the company calls its RubiConX Hitch Hub, a zinc-coated steel two-way locking mechanism, the Hitch Tent easily drops down horizontally and can be manually adjusted via an incorporated hitch ball to further accommodate uneven terrain. Once lowered and locked in place, simply fold open the rooftop tent. The Hitch Tent can fit all folding-style, canvas topped RTTs (such as the 23Zero) in the 41 to 68 kg (90 to 150 lb) pound range, and sizes up to 157 cm (62 in). A variety of packages for various off-road needs are also available.

It not only offers a quick set up, but makes life on the trail much easier for solo travelers, those with physical ailments, or when a camp needs to be assembled quickly in inclement weather. When packing up, the reverse process is just as simple. The unit is raised vertically, the legs lock back in place, and the entire unit is safely secured via the RubiConX Hitch Hub for safe travels.

The strong adjustable feet at the base of the legs.

Now, this is the part that we really liked. Once the Hitch Tent is set up, it can easily detach from the hitch of the vehicle via the hub – no tools required – freeing up your rig for exploring or other tasks while having The Hitch Tent still intact upon your return.

“Our Hitch Tent is something that answered a question people didn’t know was available.” explains Andrew Clark of Rubicon Expedition Products. “We’ve made a hitch-based solution for RTT’s. It has all the benefits of conventional units and we just brought it down to a level where more people can enjoy them.”

The Hitch Tent fully set up and ready for use.

Tipping the scales at approximately 27 kg (60 lbs), The Hitch Tent has a 272 kg (600 lb) person capacity, making it ideal for two adults (and perhaps a small child) and even essential gear or personal items. Rounding out some of the many benefits, it can also be rigged to swing-away hitches such as Yakima’s BackSwing for added function and to access the rear tailgate.

“We saw a need to do this as some people still want their roof space,” said Clark. “They have kayaks, SUPs or other cumbersome gear. Then there are some people that just don’t want to climb on the roof – whether they have dogs, kids or disabilities. It sits at a level that’s just off the ground, but wheelers still get all the benefits of a nice mattress and a weather-resistant cover.”

It’s simple to disconnect from your vehicle – no tools required.

Overall rating

Shockingly bad. Bad communication, bad coordination, bad customer service. The only redeeming quality is it was cheap.

Always a pleasant experience when dealing with RTT. The guides are super knowledgeable and friendly. The tours are also a good value. I prefer them to the less expensive MWR trips. The reason is the guides and the size of the buses. RTT tends to provide more room on larger buses.
