U.S. Army Europe and Africa "Stay Safe"

Safety, security and anti-terrorism resources for our community.

Threat Situation Statement
Unclassified Threat Situation (as of June 26, 2025)

 

USAREUR-AF has recently reinforced the importance of increased vigilance and enhanced defensive measures, emphasizing proactive security enhancements, awareness of potential threats – including insider threats – and rapid response preparedness. All personnel are required to review and adhere to updated protective measures, reporting procedures, and situational awareness protocols to mitigate risk and ensure the safety of our forces and facilities.

The safety of our community is our highest priority. Currently, USAREUR-AF is not aware of any specific threats against our communities. We also remind all DoW personnel to remain vigilant, report any suspicious activity immediately, and re-enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive timely security alerts: https://mytravel.state.gov/s/step

Commanders are reinforcing the importance of heightened vigilance at all levels.

INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION PLANS: Personnel must stay current with media coverage of local events, remain aware of their surroundings, and keep in regular contact with their unit, colleagues, family members, and friends while traveling. DOW personnel should monitor local news outlets, the American Forces Network (AFN), and the Alerts and Messages page of U.S. Embassy and Consulate websites in the countries where they live and travel to remain aware of changes in the security environment. USEUCOM requires enrollment in the U.S. State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This service allows personnel to enroll their presence with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate and receive important information about security conditions at their duty or destination country. Step enrollment and local security information at https://step.state.gov/.

All personal are encouraged to refresh their Antiterrorism (AT) Level I training at https://jko.jten.mil/courses/AT-level1/launch.html.  Speak to your unit or garrison AT Officer for additional information, assistance, and other Antiterrorism tips.
