When Lewis Eisenberg's nomination as U.S. Ambassador to Italy and San Marino was confirmed earlier this summer, he said he promised himself to make the U.S. military here a top priority and to visit bases as soon as possible after his arrival in Rome. 

Eisenberg visited U.S. Army Garrison Italy's Caserma Ederle and Del Din Dec. 5 and Camp Darby near Pisa Dec. 13. The ambassador visited Naples in mid- November, where he met NATO Joint Force Command Commander Admiral James Foggo at the headquarters in Lago Patria. There he heard a command brief on U.S. basing in southern Italy and Command in Naples.
