The United States Army Garrison (USAG) Baumholder, affectionately known as "the Rock" is set in the wooded hills of the Western Palatinate in the German federal state of Rheinland-Pfalz.

Baumholder itself has medieval origins, as the first recorded mention of the town is found in a document dating back to 1156.

World War II brought the military to Baumholder. The German government appropriated 29,158 acres and resettled about 842 families from 14 villages to clear the land for use by the Third Reich.
