Sembach Kaserne (lit. 'Sembach Barracks') is a United States Army post in Donnersbergkreis, Germany, near Kaiserslautern. It is approximately 19 miles (31 km) east of Ramstein Air Base. From 1995 to 2012[1] the installation was a United States Air Force installation known as Sembach Air Base, until it was transferred to the United States Army.
