CES Intermediate Course hosted at Stuttgart, Germany for first time

The U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart command team brought the Intermediate Course to the garrison for the first time on 30 Oct – 17 Nov 2023. The class witnessed a diverse group of ACPs and LNs ranging between GS-10 to GS-12 grades and engaged in a curriculum designed to foster adaptability, innovation, self-awareness, and effective management.

Robert Gwinner, deputy to the garrison commander at USAG Stuttgart, emphasized the importance of recruitment and retention in his remarks: "Good people want to work for organizations that are always trying to improve and that offer them opportunities to do the same," he said. “Positioning ourselves as an organization that supports its employees’ professional growth helps attract the type of people we’re looking for. USAG Stuttgart has an incredibly important mission and we’re always looking to sustain excellence.”

IMCOM-Europe will be hosting the CES Intermediate Course at USAG Wiesbaden from Jul. 8-26, 2024, and the CES Advanced Course from Jul. 22-Aug. 16, 2024, at USAG Stuttgart.
