Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany -- The United States European Command (USEUCOM), launched its updated customer-friendly Web site today, allowing for an easier and more navigable customer experience.

The revamped site includes much of the same information as the previous site. However, the information has been categorized under four major sections: News, Command, Community and Newcomers.
"The Web site is faster loading, easier to navigate and dedicated to being more customer friendly," said Josie O. Magee, Chief of the Web Services Division, Public Affairs Directorate.
