FORT EISENHOWER, Ga. - Fort Gordon was officially redesignated as Fort Eisenhower during a historic ceremony Oct. 27 on Barton Field near Augusta, Ga.
Now named in honor of Army Gen. and President Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower, it is the last of nine Army installations to be renamed.
Former chair of the Congressional Naming Commission, Retired Navy Adm. Michelle Howard, said the ceremony was “the cherry on top” for her and fellow commissioners.
The Augusta area was one of Eisenhower’s desired places of respite, providing him with ample opportunities to hunt and golf, among other hobbies. (US Army 10/27/23) Fort Gordon to Fort Eisenhower: ‘Where the past and the future can now comfortably reside’ | Article | The United States Army
