One officer expressing caution over potential reductions in the hospital's
capacity is Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who served two tours in Iraq after the
2003 invasion and is now commander of the Army's forces in Europe.

In a letter to Woodson, Hertling wrote that in assessing the medical
requirements for the Landstuhl replacement hospital, "there are some who
simply see it as linked to the current conflicts or, worse, linked to the
size of the force and the families stationed in Europe."

"As we look to the future, the key issue will be how much we need at this
strategic location for unknown operational support to multiple theaters,"
Hertling wrote.  "The decisions made with regard to this facility will
affect our national security in multiple regions for the next century."
