| Description | WIESBADEN, Germany -- Lt. Gen Mark Hertling, commanding general of the U.S. Army Europe, watches Joan Shalikashvili sign the guest book at the dedication of the Gen. John Shalikashvili Mission Command Center, here June 14.The Mission Command Center, also known as “The Shali Center,” will support USAREUR’s mission of training and preparing forces for full-spectrum capabilities. The construction project, headed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Europe District, is on track to be the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver certified project by the U.S. Army in Germany. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health. The building, built using a majority of local materials, environmentally responsible practices, and low pollutant-emitting material, will save $120,000 per year in anticipated energy cost and 1.3 million liters of water per year. The Command Center is the namesake of the late Gen. John M.D. Shalikashvili, who emigrated to Peoria, Illinois in 1952 from Warsaw, Poland, was the first foreign-born American Soldier to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.The USAREUR is celebrating the 237th U.S. Army birthday by dedicating the installation, housing area and Mission Command Center slated to host the command in the coming year. The command selected significant figures from the U.S. Army’s 237-year history with strong U.S.-European ties to dedicate these sites to. The Wiesbaden Naming Ceremonies are also the capstone event of the “USAREUR Strong Week,” a seven-day highlight of the training, deployments and historical commemorations that the Army in Europe does throughout the year in support of our nation’s strategic and operational goals.
