This webgroup is for ASA and INSCOM veterans of 2nd OPS Battalion who served at Field Station Augsburg on Gablingen Kaserne. This group was started as a way to share stories & photos, keep in touch, and find old friends. The group is for those of us who were there generally in the mid-70's thru the mid-80's. The site has over 4000 photos of people, Augsburg bases, Bavaria and past 2nd OPS reunions. Over 47,000 messages have been swapped between the 700+ Augsburg OPS veterans who reconnected after the group started in Feb, 2005.

The group held its 1st Reunion in Las Vegas in April, 2006. The Main Event was held at the Hofbrauhaus. 74 veterans attended plus many family members. Over 50 mini-reunions have taken place since. The 2nd Annual Reunion - Oct 26-28, 2007 was held in the Washington, DC suburb of Alexandria, VA. 80 veterans attended events, and with family about 120 attended the Reunion Night Dinner. The 3rd Annual Reunion was held in Pensacola FL June 20-22, 2008 and 55 veterans attended along with ~60 family members. The 4th Annual 2ND OPS Reunion was October 9-12, 2009 in San Antonio, Texas and attended by 91 Augsburg OPS veterans. With family, there were about 125. This was a GREAT EVENT. Post your pictures everyone.

Jackie Lewis is hosting the 2010 reunion in Cincinnati, Ohio across Columbus Day weekend, with the Main Event at the Hofbrauhaus. 24 folks already say they're attending.
