Road Trip: Fort Hunter Liggett, California

Fort Hunter Liggett, named after General Hunter Liggett in 1941, is a United States Army fort in southern Monterey County, California, about 250 miles north of Los Angeles and 150 miles south of San Francisco. The fort is primarily used as a training facility, where activities such as field maneuvers and live fire exercises are performed.

The U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., provides world class training for combat support and combat service support units of the Army Reserve, and offers excellent training opportunities to all U.S. military components and those of allied nations.

It is exceptionally well suited to large-scale joint exercises. Fort Hunter Liggett is funded by the U.S. Army Reserve, under the command and control of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, based at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

Fort Hunter Liggett is the largest installation in the Army Reserve, with more than 165,000 acres of unencroached mountains, valleys, rivers, plains, and forests, providing ideal maneuver areas to meet today's training requirements. Fort Hunter Liggett's ranges, training areas and facilities support year-round joint, multi-component, and interagency training.

Available resources include Tactical Training Bases, MOUT sites, a five-mile Convoy Live Fire Course with 360-degree live-fire capability, weapons qualifications ranges, a live-fire shoot house, and an urban assault course.

For units with airborne training needs, Fort Hunter Liggett hosts one of only four C-17 capable dirt assault strips in the U.S., dozens of parachute drop zones, a heliport with refueling capability, and restricted airspace up to 24,000 feet.

Training technology includes the Dismounted Soldier Training System, H.E.A.T. Training, Engagement Skills Trainers, a 10-station IED Defeat Lanes trainer.

Yes..I am attempting to reschedule as many lessons as I can...doubling up , as I really can’t afford this, but I MUST go. I have to see my mother again.

I think you know what I mean.

Not so tall, she’s almost the shortest on her team. But, she’s still a giant in our hearts!

Good night and sleep tight.

[luvie]

Thanks, galz, for a great road trip...CA would be very pleasant this time of year compared to Texas! LOL!

I got home at about 3pm and all went well. It was cooler here than it was in the D/FW area and MUCH cooler than Corpus! It was a wonderful weekend!

[The Mayor]

Same here, typical Monday for me.

[Kathy in Alaska]

But of course! Is it softball season? I am sooo out of touch.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I like the thinking...LOL!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I can read it just fine. Can you write it easily?

[where's_the_Outrage?]

Spent several months at Fort Hungry Lizard in the late 80s, lots of interesting wild life. Saw Elk herds, the squirrels lie in ground holes, hit a deer with my car going back to King City, and one had a coyote join me while I was running.

First time I went we drove down PCH and came in the back way.

And some old Air Defenders might know what I am talking about here, was on top of a mountain and as I looked right I saw the intake of an A7 coming at high speed about 100 meters away. I just had time to grab my hat and crouch as Kato announced he was on station flying over at about 20 meters (upside down).

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad you had a good time, and are safely home.

Softball season just ended. They took 3rd place out of 5 teams in the 11-12 age group...pretty good, considering the 2 top teams are our All Stars and the Traveling team.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’ve been working on it. I did see someone in a yellow shirt. d:o)

Everyone looked like they were having a grand time.

[luvie]

I think it was a great success! Everyone made it all happen and it’s wonderful when so many people can get together from all parts of the country and just FEEL like old friends!

You would be one of those. :)
