It's a German license plate with temporary USA authorization for use in the USA. It's for an armed forces member.
You can see a similiar one at this web site. https://www.google.com/search?q=Germ...tm%3B600%3B330
These plates are provided when a vehicle is shipped from overseas. Since vehicles cannot be plated on vessels when crossing the ocean, there needs to be a valid plate upon arrival to the United States to drive between the port and the state of residency in order to get it registered in their state. You cannot obtain plates for a vehicle that is not present, therefore these plates allow for temporary travel until local state plates are obtained.
As noted, it's a transport plate affixed to US service member vehicles. These replace the local country plate when they leave Europe.
The decal in the middle translates to "Armed Forces of the United States." The blue USA sticker denotes the country of origin and allows the vehicle to travel across Europe. NATO forces now use local country plates instead of country of origin plates as a security measure. I don't know how effective that is when the local plate is affixed to an Suburban near a military base.
Nothing to do with OP's question. I thought it was cool though.
