Fort Gordon
is located just a few miles southwest of the city of Augusta,
Georgia. The post is located in Richmond County and our Gate 2
is only a few hundred yards from Columbia County. Fort Gordon
is 139 miles from Atlanta. We are also 138 miles from the
charm of Charleston, South Carolina, 211 miles from the
beaches, entertainment, and golf courses of Myrtle Beach, and
122 miles from the historic streets of Savannah. You'll find
that the cost of housing and other living expenses in the
Augusta area is moderate. The weather is mild, the golf is
great, and Southern hospitality is alive and well. The base

History
Camp Gordon, named for Confederate Lieutenant General John
Brown Gordon, was activated for infantry and armor training
during World War II. Almost deserted after June 1948, the post
came to life in September 1948, with the establishment of the
Signal Corps Training Center. Camp Gordon, become a permanent
Army installation on March 21, 1956, and was re-designated
Fort Gordon. Designating the installation the U.S. Army Signal
Center, the Army consolidated all communications training at
Fort Gordon on October 1, 1974. The arrival of the Army's
Computer Science School was only part of the impetus for the
fort's tremendous growth during the 1980s. The following
decade found its Mobilization Command deploying numerous
troops to Southwest Asia during Operation Desert Shield-Desert
Storm (1990-1991). Fort Gordon figures prominently in the
post-Cold-War national defense.
Mission
Fort Gordon's primary mission is training for signal and
ordnance soldiers. The installation is also home to the 35th
Signal Brigade, 513th Military Intelligence Brigade and the
Regional Security Operations Center. The Dwight David
Eisenhower Army Medical Center, serving the Southeastern
states, is also located here.
Base Transportation
The Garrison operates a shuttle service on the installation.
Shuttle maps and schedules are available in the Darling Hall
