We even showcase locations in Japan, South Korea, Germany, Belgium, and Italy. In total, we feature 45 Army-specific locations around the globe.

Our AWN Command Team and Band of Bloggers (and their milspouse tribes) have helped to compile installation-specific information to help you no matter what Army installation becomes your new home. We have the insider details regarding local realtors, off-post health care options, specific installation information, spouse testimonials, social media connections, hidden gems of the area, and things you have to do before you leave. You can plan how to make the most of your new location before you even arrive and make connections with other spouses who are already there using social media groups.

If you have additional tips, information, connections, or personal testimonials about any of our military locations, feel free to leave a comment or email us at info@armywifenetwork.com to help out your fellow military spouses.

We here at Army Wife Network want to take some of the guesswork out of the need-to-knows about duty stations around the globe. Hence, our Post With the Most series. In this particular blog, we will be showcasing information related to United States Army Garrison Italy in Vicenza, Italy.

Being stationed in overseas locations like Vicenza, Italy, is unique and can be more challenging to figure out than the average stateside PCS. First, the military community of USAG Italy is made up of three installations—Caserma Ederle, Caserma Del Din, and Longare—where the soldiers work on a daily basis. There is a fourth location where families may live and which houses the schools—Villagio.

In addition to what is offered through on-post services, military families living in Vicenza have access to many resources on the Italian economy.

Most well-known for being home to the famous 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), USAG Italy and its surrounding area are filled with history, beautiful architecture, Italian culture, and abundant adventure.
