Fort Gordon (formerly known as Camp Gordon), is a United States Army Installation and the current home of the United States Army Signal Corps and Signal Center and was once the home of "The Provost Marshal General School" (Military Police). The fort is located in Richmond, Jefferson, McDuffie, and Columbia counties, Georgia. The main componment of the post is the Advanced Individual Training for Signal Corps military occupational specialites. In 1966-68 the Army's Signal Officer Candidate School (located at Fort Monmouth during World War II and the Korean conflict) graduated over 2,200 Signal officers. Fort Gordon trains more military personnel than any other training center of the U.S. Army.

Increasingly, military signals intelligence has become more visible and comprises more and more of the fort's duties.

Fort Gordon and the Signal Center is commanded by Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Foley. On July 17, 2007, Brig. Gen. Randolph Strong handed over command as he assumed a new position as Director of Architecture, Operations, Networks, and Space, in the Department of the Army’s Office of the Chief Information Officer and G6. Brig. Gen. Foley last served as Director of Architecture, Operations, Networks, and Space, in the Department of the Army’s Office of the Chief Information Officer and G6.

 

 History

Fort Gordon was originally called Camp Gordon in honor of John Brown Gordon, who was a major general in the Confederate army, a Georgia governor, a U.S. senator, and a businessman. On March 21, 1956, the base was renamed Fort Gordon.

 World War I Era

Before America entered world war one, Camp Gordon was a training facility of the 328th Infantry.

World War II Era

In July of 1941 the U.S. War Department approved a contract to construct facilities on a new training area in Richmond County, Georgia that had been selected several months earlier. A groundbreaking and flag-raising ceremony took place in October. In response to the attack on Pearl Harbor Colonel Herbert W. Schmidt, camp commander, moved his small staff from his temporary office in the Augusta post office building to the unfinished headquarters building at Camp Gordon on December 9, 1941 and the 4th Infantry Division began to establish operations there.

The base was home to three divisions during the war: the 4th Infantry, the 26th Infantry, and the 10th Armored. From October 1943 to January 1945 Camp Gordon served as an internment camp for foreign prisoners of war. From May 1945 until April 1946 the U.S. Army Personnel and Separation Center processed nearly 86,000 personnel for discharge from the army.

 Post World War II

From early 1946 to June 1947, the U.S. Army Disciplinary Barracks for convicted criminals was located at Camp Gordon, and the installation was scheduled for deactivation. In September 1948 the army relocated the Military Police School from Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, to Camp Gordon, and in October 1948 a Signal Corps training center was activated.

During the 1950s through the 1970s Fort Gordon served as a basic-training facility. It also provided advanced individual training for troops. Since June 1986 Fort Gordon has housed the U.S. Signal Corps, the branch of the U.S. Army responsible for providing and maintaining information systems and communication networks. The Signal Corps training center's primary purpose is to conduct specialized instruction for all Signal Corps military and civilian personnel.

 Active-duty units and facilities

Fort Gordon's technical name is the U.S. Army Signal Center & Fort Gordon, or USASCFG. While the TRADOC school itself is the primary function, the post is home to the following active-duty tenant units:

The post also hosts a joint-service command, the Gordon Regional Security Operations Center, or GRSOC. It is now known as NSA/CSS Georgia and is a SIGINT collection center for a geographic area including the Middle East. The Army's 116th MI Group works there, as do other military intelligence units from the Air Force, Navy, the Marine Corps as well as civilians from the National Security Agency (NSA).

Considered a mission partner on Fort Gordon is the Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center (DDEAMC), home of the Southeast Regional Medical Command (SERMC) as well as a dental laboratory. The facility treats active duty military and their families, as well as many of the military retiree community in the Central Savannah River Area. Under SERMC, the hospital is responsible for military hospital care from Kentucky to Puerto Rico.

Fort Gordon has approximately 30,000 military and civilian employees and currently has an estimated $1.1 billion economic impact on the Augusta-Richmond County economy.

In 1966-68 approximately 2,200 Signal Officers were trained at Fort Gordon's Signal Officer Candidate School (OCS), before all US Army branch OCSs were merged with the Infantry OCS at Fort Benning, Georgia.

During the Vietnam War, Ft. Gordon was also a training location for Military Police in the Brems Barracks region of the fort, which was also later used in the 1980s for training radioteletype operators.

Real Estate Tips
Working With An Agent >Listening To Your Needs

Some buyers purchase the exact kind of house they said they were looking for, in the neighborhood they preferred. Other buyers surprise us by falling in love with a house that is the complete opposite of what they originally wanted.

Real estate agents listen carefully when buyers describe their needs and preferences. We screen our current inventory of homes to come up with possible matches. Since there is almost always some compromise involved when selecting a home, we may suggest alternatives that might work for buyers.

If you like a specific neighborhood where there are no homes in your price range, we may suggest homes in other areas with similar amenities. If you want four bedrooms, and one of them will be used as a home office, we may look for a den or family room that could serve your needs. When you look at houses, remember that your feedback is important to us--and it won't hurt our feelings.

Born and raised in Germany, I moved to the United States in 2004 and I have spent the past 6 years dedicated to the realms of real estate, specializing in regular and military relocation. My husband currently works for the army as a firefighter, but was previously enlisted, resulting in my experience in relocation. I feel that I have been directly led to this chapter of real estate due to my experiences and skill set. Being involved in relocations personally has given me a thorough understanding of the process as well as allowed me to really connect with the emotions and concerns clients may be experiencing. I've been there. I can easily step into a clients' shoes to really relate with their needs having been the client so many times in the past. Moving is hard, especially when you have a family to uproot. Working with a relocation specialist that has a vast knowledge with the areas they cover is very important. That's why I make sure to be prepared for any questions my clients may have. I am trilingual in English, German and Turkish, allowing me to work with a wider range of clients and I love it. Being able to experience different cultures and values held by clients is a definite perk for me. Knowing that I am able to have a positive impact on someone's moving experience actually means a lot to me, because I've been there. I've experience those ups and downs, those potential worries that sometimes appear. Moving can be stressful, because aside from the packing and organizing, you're leaving what's familiar to you. As a relocation specialist, I will come to the table with full confidence and knowledge to enable me to provide assistance. I strive to be the best that I can be and to leave my clients happy and comfortable. Let me show you what a relocation done right is like. Moving can be overwhelming to begin with; I want to make the difference.
