A US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany published a list of food banks in the area that could help soldiers and staff as part of its "Shutdown Guidance," the subtext being that soldiers and base employees might need to obtain free food from German government services during the government shutdown. The webpage included information about which services are affected by the ongoing shutdown of the federal government, FAQs about how to work during a furlough, and links to apply for emergency loans. After the shutdown guidance's publication, the US Army changed it and removed the list of food banks, but the original has been archived here. The US Army Garrison Bavaria is the army's largest group outside the US with around 36,000 troops stationed across four facilities in Germany. The German government will pay 11,000 local employees at US military facilities as a show of good faith, anticipating repayment when the shutdown is resolved.
