The long-term future of the Mannheim military community is in doubt, since it was not included in U. S. Army Europe's 2004 announcement of those military communities that would remain after a long-term restructuring and downsizing of U. S. forces in Europe. On July 11th, 2007, the DOD announced that Turley Barracks would be closed in late 2007 and returned to Germany by 2008 [4].

As is standard policy with all bases returned to host nation control, Turley Barracks will be handed over to the Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben (the federal agency which oversees the assets of the German federal government). It is most likely that the entire facility will be sold, possibly to the city of Mannheim which would like to redevelop the site although many buildings have landmark status.
