Did some more looking
there was a HAHN Air Force base in Germany that I guess was closed or disbanded in 1994

it reads

I have looked up and down the web and asked some army buddies to no avail
it's located in front of the rear passenger tire, near the lip on the bottom
Maybe more markings will come up, if anyone...
