Det 1 supports roughly 1,350 personnel, where 60% are assigned locally to the Stuttgart area, and the rest are spread out amongst Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia. Due to the nature of each members’ assignment/retirement to/from the Det1 area of responsibility, it creates an environment where each individual has unique and specific requirements to ensure their pay and entitlements are appropriately managed. There is no cookie cutter approach – and each member’s case, country-specific requirements, and often unique travel paths In an effort to eliminate and reduce customer wait times and increase process efficiency, the Det finance customer service team has implemented several improved methodologies to meet the demanding customer service needs of the Stuttgart Garrison and the detachment’s area of responsibility.
