History
Fort George G. Meade became an Army installation in 1917. The

defensive strategy at the Battle of Gettysburg proved a major
factor in turning the tide of the Civil War in favor of the
North. Fort Meade was an important training center during
World Wars I and II. Its ranges and other facilities were used
by more than 3,500,000 men between 1942 and 1946. In August
1990, Fort Meade began processing Army Reserve and National
Guard units from several states for the presidential call-up
in support of Operation Desert Shield.
