Webmaster note: Joachim Lenk, a German journalist and author, has written a book on the US Army Garrison Ulm/Neu Ulm that includes the air base at Leipheim, the Schweighofen Airfield, the local training areas and the ammo dump at Merklingen. I have not had a chance to review the book yet, but will provide some feedback as soon as I have a copy.

In the meantime, you can review Joachim's website at USGarrison.com (link).

post-WWII The installation was renamed Ford Barracks in honor of Major James C. Ford of the 110th Inf Regt, 28th Inf Div. Major Ford was awarded the Silver Star (Oak Leaf Cluster) during WWII.

Within the post there is an historic fortress that was build in 1879 as part of the defensive system around Ulm.
