United States Army Garrison (USAG) Stuttgart is located in the southwest German city of Stuttgart, the cultural and political capital of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The city has some 600,000 people, or more than 1.5 million including the adjoining suburbs.

Stuttgart is perhaps best known as the manufacturing site of Mercedes and Porsche cars.
