context_section_description: The Hohenfels Training Area (HTA) is named after the market town of Hohenfels. The German Army founded the training area in Hohenfels in 1938. In 1951, it became a U.S. Forces training area and was used primarily by U.S. Forces. In 1988, Hohenfels Training Area became the home of the Combat Maneuver Training Center (CMTC), with the mission to provide realistic force-on-force combined arms training exercises for the U.S. Army Europe, and 7th Army's maneuver battalion task forces. Combat Maneuver Training Center was transformed and officially named the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in December 2005. It is the largest U.S. Army Europe maneuver training area. In May 2014, U.S. Army Garrison Hohenfels became a U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria community.
