[edit]Units on this Base should also include: Detachment 1, 338 Training Squadron (USAF). The only Air Force Satellite Communications school—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.186.209.150 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 13 February 2006.
Southeastern Signal School
[edit]Southeastern Signal School, which I attended during the Korean War following Camp Gordon's BTG Basic Training Group. The Basic Training was featured in Life Magazine in 1952. The magazine showed a unique feature of our training: The "Struggle Pit" where two platoons, one platoon shirtless the other wearing T shirts would go in this empty hole 4 ft. deep and struggle to empty the pit of one competing platoon by physically throwing them out. 206.246.28.178 (talk) 14:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
DDEAMC/SERMC
[edit]There no longer a SERMC. This command was turned over to SRMC based in San Antonio. Currently DDEAMC, its sub-commands, and other commands formerly under SERMC are now under SRMC. The current DDEAMC Commander is an O-6 position, rather than part of the regional commanding general's command.

doesn't link
[edit]I added Fort Gordon to my User:Oobspacer page and get the message that page doesn't exist even though i can search for it and see it in my browser. Am I doing something wrong or..., the link is working from this comment, very confusing. Oobspacer (talk) 22:54, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Soldier
[edit]My father was stationed at Fort Gordon in 1967, I am trying to find a picture of him or a yearbook so to speak of his squad. Is this possible? Thank you for your time and consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vsimmons1970 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Fort Gordon has the worst food in the army outside of various bases in Germany. When I state this, it keeps getting deleted - which makes me assume there is some type of agenda to promote army food on Wikipedia. Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 09:20, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Redesignation 27 October 2023
[edit]On 27 October 2023 at 9:00AM, at Barton Field this installation will be redesignated Fort Eisenhower. The entrance gate signs have been changed over, and are covered over with tarps until the 27th.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 17:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Ancheta Wis and since Fort Bragg and Fort Benning are back, it's only a matter of time. 166.181.87.114 (talk) 09:07, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Requested move 27 October 2023
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. Per WP:SNOW. I've moved this article back to the original name prior to this as it has been unilaterally moved twice by one editor, who I will be talking to on their talk. (closed by non-admin page mover) estar8806 (talk) ★ 00:16, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Fort Gordon → Fort Eisenhower – Today 27 Oct 2023 is redesignation day. The ceremony was live-streamed, the US Army web pages have already been moved,[7] the dignitaries have given their speeches, the Eisenhower family was photographed on post, the tarps have been removed from the new signs... -- Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 16:43, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see any reason to not move it. Certainly the Army thinks it's Fort Eisenhower. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:27, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- I have already moved it. Death Editor 2 (talk) 19:51, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

- Support and I think, based on previous US military base renames earlier this year, an early close should be considered, even the back-and-forth move now. Skynxnex (talk) 03:54, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support, it's the new name and should be updated the same as the other renamed bases have been throughout the year. - OdinintheNorth (talk) 04:18, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

o'day
[edit]The ARCYBER page gives an integrated discussion of the units, which are grouped by o'day: Operate, Defend, Attack, Influence, and Inform.
According to the ref above, multiple units are part of NETCOM which, fits under O (operate).
Cyber Protection Brigade fits under D (defend).
The 915th cyber warfare battalion is now designated the 11th Cyber Warfare Battalion, which fits under A (attack).
There are other units which are part of the Fort Eisenhower installation which we need to further sort out. -- Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 01:00, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Naming issue
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Editors are reminded that this is a contentious topic area subjected to heightened editing standards and scrutiny, and that controversial page moves must be discussed and gain consensus, with arguments being made in accordance with our policies, guidelines, and MOS on article naming and titles -- not based on politics, or personal preferences. We've been through this on two separate base rename articles now, each where the page was repeatedly subjected to a move and edit war over the names that had not yet taken effect, nor that had any WP:COMMONNAME or MOS:AT support. We're not doing that a third time; I've placed all of these base names under extended-confirmed protection for a month. If you want to discuss a move or change the name, make a formal RM, make policy-based arguments, and gain consensus. Be prepared to cite evidence of the move *actually* taking place -- i.e. not an announcement that a move will happen in the future (i.e. the 6/10 announcement from President Trump), and not an order to a subordinate for them to execute the name change; but to a reliable source that directly states the change has been executed. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 03:25, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Name change has been executed by the United States Army. https://www.wrdw.com/2025/06/11/speedy-switch-local-army-post-becomes-fort-gordon-again/ 185.98.168.87 (talk) 20:17, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 20:20, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Article should now be up to date with the new name, and I added a blurb with the above reference. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 20:30, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
Fort Gordon
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
All official United States Army social media accounts and official US Army correspondence now refer to “Fort Eisenhower” as “Fort Gordon”, and edit should be made to reflect this. 2600:1700:1D4D:7210:9869:7AB9:195:2B01 (talk) 18:21, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
Not done -- not a properly formatted edit request, not supported by accompanying citations, and primary source social media correspondence is not a determining factor per our article naming policy. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 18:53, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

- official United States Army correspondence, apologies for not linking it before. If you have any further questions feel free to reach out.

- That link does not support your claims. As you've been repeatedly told, that article says several times that the change *will be* made, not that it *has been* made. Remember, contested claims are required to be verifiable to a reliable source that *directly* supports the claim; we do not decide article names based on political opinions or ideology -- or by speculative future plans that have not taken effect yet.⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 19:43, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

- Please review the above link. The mayor of Augusta has formally acknowledge the change as well as the General in Charge of Fort Gordon. I hope you take this in account in your future endeavors. 185.98.168.87 (talk) 20:05, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for that link. This one's a start, and good enough for us to go on. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 20:20, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
