25 April 2024: STEM Tour of USAREUR-AF G34 IDEX LAB
On 24 April, 2024, the Rhein-Main Post hosted STEM Students from Wiesbaden High School for a super 1.5 hour tour of the IDEX Lab.
USAREUR-AF G34 Identity and Exploitation (IDEX) provides US forces a capability to collect, process, analyze, exploit, and disseminate identity information and analysis of collected exploitable materials throughout the European and African theaters. IDEX capabilities include a scalable, modular, deployable exploitation capability to forensically process biometrics, latent fingerprints, chemistry, DNA, and digital media. Forensic processing enables identity intelligence analysts to deny anonymity to threat actors within the US Europe Command and US Africa Command areas of responsibility.
Special thanks to IDEX Lab and STEM Students from Wiesbaden High School in Germany. (Anytime you see a logo on the wall with a skull— you know it’s going to be good!)

14 September 2023: Young Professionals Mixer
On 14SEP, over 25 guests joined for a SAME Rhein-Main Post mixer event hosted by the Young Professionals.
The social event was hosted in downtown Wiesbaden and attracted an even mix of staff from USAREUR-AF ODCSENG and USACE Europe District. It was nice a nice evening getting to know one another better outside of the office, while also getting to newly meet other colleagues of shared engineering projects.
Thanks to Nick Erwin for organizing the event, and all those that spent the evening with us to make it a success!
