My first unit of assignment after BT/AIT is “ELTG”, my recruiter has told me that this means I will be going to Germany but he is not sure which base I will be stationed at. Is anyone here familiar with the “ELTG” assignment?

PV2 Private RallyPoint Member, A long time ago (back in the 80s I think) that stood for the European Logistics Task Group ... but I have no clue if that still exists.

If it's just a general assignment (not a unit), it probably stands for "Europe Long Tour - Germany"

Colonel cudworth mentioned it could be Germany.

Not sure if you would be assigned to other bases with a troop medical clinic or you would be in some large institution like this one? I actually went through here with a broken ankle that I suffered in Afghanistan and they ended up sending me to Joint Base Lewis-McChord to do my surgery back in 2009.

Even if you don't go here, it's good to know about this large American military hospital.

A quick Google search of that term has revealed...exactly nothing. I have no idea what this indicates. IF it does indicate a general assignment to Germany as COL Randall C. indicated, then get ready to make the most of an amazing experience! I'd give almost anything to be able to experience Germany again. It was one of the best tours of my career. There is a TON of history and culture to experience so take advantage while you can. Take LOTS of pictures and collect meaningful souvenirs. Your older self will thank you later!

Who cares bro, you’re going to Germany! I went to Germany with AFN in 1998 and it was a truly great experience, you’re going to love it!
