Jump up ^ The 2015 U.S. Base Structure Report gives 587 overseas sites, but sites are merely real property at a distinct geographical location, and multiple sites may belong to one installation ( page DoD - 3 ). For example, the Garmisch, Germany `` named base '' with its 72 personnel has eight distinct sites large enough to be listed in the Army 's Individual Service Inventory list : Artillery Kaserne, Breitenau Skeet Range, Garmisch Family Housing, Garmish Golf Course, General Abrams Hotel And Disp, Hausberg Ski Area, Oberammergau NATO School, and Sheridan Barracks ( listed in Army - 15 to Army - 17 ). These range in size from Ramstein AB with 9,188 active, guard / reserve, and civilian personnel down to Worms, which has just one civilian.
