ARPAC Larson barracks

ARPAC Larson Barracks, located in Kitzingen, Germany, was a key installation for the United States Army in Europe during the Cold War era. Originally established by the German military, it was taken over by U.S. forces after World War II and named after Private First Class James D. Larson, a Medal of Honor recipient. The barracks served as a base for various units, including elements of the 3rd Infantry Division and Army Personnel Center (ARPAC), supporting NATO operations and European defense. Larson Barracks remained active until its closure in 2007, after which the site was returned to the German government.
