If they have a stateside license US forces do have to take a fairly stringent (when compare to state tests) written and sign test. This is a US Military administered test as wisebaker described.
the issue most people have with this test is the right of way and priority road questions. These concepts are different / unheard of if you've never driven there before and require a slight amount of study to answer correctly.
the larger issue with driving in Europe comes if a service member or dependent doesn't have a US license to begin with. If you don't have a US License you have to do the entire process through the German system and that is very expsenive and complicated and not doable for an 18 year old brand new service member or their spouse.
and the above process is only for personal vehicles. tactical vehicles are another process and non-tactical government vehicles are yet a third and even more complicated process.
I have expended much energy ensuring my soldiers have the right drivers license to stay out of trouble.
