The event is hosted by the 21st Theater Sustainment Command (21st TSC), a part of the United States Army Europe, for the Kaiserslautern Military Community, and 21st TSC has agreed to arrange and pay for Mayor Calloway’s travel costs. Kaiserslautern Military Community is a community of Americans living in and around Kaiserslautern, Germany supporting the United States Army, and is the largest U.S. military command outside of the United States.
