LIVORNO, Italy - A lot has changed at Army Field Support Battalion-Africa since Robert Guess arrived in July of 2019. When he first hit the ground, the Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 worksite at Leghorn Army Depot ‘South of the Alps’ only had one APS-2 unit equipment set – about a battalion’s worth of tactical vehicles and equipment pieces – and the installation itself was earmarked by the Department of Defense for drawdown and closure.
