56th Artillery Command Reactivation Ceremony

U.S. Army Europe and Africa conducted a reactivation ceremony for 56th Artillery Command, the European Theater’s Fires Command, yesterday Nov. 8, 2021, on Allen Field, Lucius D. Clay Kaserne, Wiesbaden, Germany. Gen. Christopher Cavoli, commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, was present to hand the colors off to Maj. Gen. Stephen J. Maranian, who accepted command of the 56th Artillery Command. “The reactivation of the 56th Artillery Command will provide USAREUR-AF with significant capabilities in multi-domain operations,” Maranian said. “It will further enable the synchronization of joint and multinational fires and effects, and employment of future long range surface to surface fires across the USAREUR-AF area of responsibility.“
