Road Trip: Fort Gordon, Georgia

Fort Gordon, formerly known as Camp Gordon, is a United States Army installation established in 1917. It is 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.

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:

15th Regimental Signal Brigade, home to the 73d Ordnance (TRADOC), 369th Signal (TRADOC), 447th Signal (TRADOC) and 551st Signal Battalions.

35th Signal Brigade, home to the 63d Expeditionary Signal Battalion, 67th and 50th Signal Battalion. 50th Signal Battalion is current on detached duty to Fort Bragg, NC (formerly the 93rd Signal Brigade)

513th Military Intelligence Brigade, home to Task Force Lightning and the 202nd and 297th MI Battalions
35th Military Police Detachment
706th Military Intelligence Group, home of the 707th MI Battalion

The post also hosts a joint-service command, National Security Agency/Central Security Service Georgia, formerly known as the Gordon Regional Security Operations Center. It is a SIGINT collection center for a geographic area including the Middle East.

The Army's 706th MI Group works there alongside units from the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency, Naval Network Warfare Command (Navy Information Operations Command, Georgia, Marine Corps Intelligence Activity 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.

And who -- pray tell -- is the stunningly attractive blonde in the center of this shot on the veranda?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor...and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[luvie]

LOL! Well, it’s onyx, actually! And she Is stunning and sweet too! :)

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

The meds are kicking in - the congestion is clearing up. But the last couple of days I've had substantial joint pain all over - don't know whether it's the med (Levaquin) or something else.

Didn't get the rose in the ground today. I was late getting out of the rack today and it's been raining all day.

I got my resume out Friday evening - sent several more out today to new (to me) agencies.

[Publius]

I’ll guess I’ll just have to double my quarterly contribution to FR then.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, lauren, for our National Anthem...humming along.

[luvie]

Very good idea! :)

[left that other site]

That’s OK...just in from work, and have been singing for seven straight hours.

Mostly Stones, Fleetwood Mac, and the Beatles, but I have a schedule worthy of a Wagnerian.

[Publius]

Wagnerian? Hm-m-m-m-m. Watch this. Best vocal rendition I've run across. A concert performance from the London Proms.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, knarf...we thank you for your service to our country.

[ConorMacNessa]

In this dire moment I am compelled to make this statement and to bear Faith to the Patriots who have fought and fallen in defense of our Beloved Nation and the Freedoms we hold dear.

Our God-given Freedoms and hard-won Constitutional Rights are under attack as never before! I stand for the United States of America with no boast or apology.

Thanks and Praise to the brave lads and lasses who serve in our Armed Forces! God Bless the United States of America!

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

Patrick Henry before the Viginia Convention 23 March 1775

“Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me,

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!”

My FRiend, I believe we are facing our biggest crisis as a nation since the war Between the States.

[ConorMacNessa]

Welcome to the Canteen, Brother! Thank you very much for your service to our Nation!

It seems that I have both a Wagnerian schedule and Wagnerian proportions.

[Publius]

Wagnerian proportions? You're built like Brünnhilde?
