U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach Commander Col. Michael Cookey, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade Commander Col. Adam Bock, members of the German Bundeswehr, and local German community leaders participate in a noise abatement committee meeting at the 12th CAB Brigade Headquarters, Katterbach Kaserne, Germany, Sept. 11, 2026. The recurring commission serves as an open forum between military leadership and neighboring municipalities to minimize aviation noise disturbances within the local community while ensuring the brigade maintains critical operational readiness through mission-essential flight training and maintenance procedures. Following the discussion, attendees, including host-nation civic and military partners, viewed a static display of an AH-64E Apache helicopter and participated in a flight aboard a CH-47 Chinook helicopter operated by the crew of the 1-214th General Support Aviation Battalion, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade.
