The Alliance for Fort Gordon is Becoming the Alliance for Fort Eisenhower
Friday, October 27th, 2023
As of October 27, 2023, The Alliance for Fort Gordon will be redesignated as the Alliance for Fort Eisenhower to align with the redesignation of Fort Gordon to Fort Eisenhower.
“Core to our mission is a best-in-class relationship between the Alliance, Fort Eisenhower, and our region, Chairman T. Stan Shepherd said. This is largely attributable to the fact that we are a stand-alone organization with this focus as its primary mission. Our efforts center on ensuring the success of the critical missions at Fort Eisenhower, knowing the increased importance of this military installation to our Nation’s security. The name Dwight D. Eisenhower truly represents the core values of the American military, in the Alliance’s 20th year we proudly change our name to the Alliance for Fort Eisenhower after former president and five-star general Dwight D. Eisenhower.”
Fort Gordon is among the nine military installations that were mandated for re-naming by the Naming Commission due to containing Confederate-linked names.
“Rising from second lieutenant to commander-in-chief, Eisenhower’s extensive, innovative, and effective military experience and leadership shaped our modern world,” said Cyber Center of Excellence and Fort Gordon Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton.
“His dedication to ensuring equal rights for Soldiers and citizens alike continues to be an example and inspiration for the present and future Soldiers of the Army he so faithfully served and decisively led. General Eisenhower epitomizes those values we continue to instill in our Soldiers today.”
The redesignation ceremony that will recognize General Dwight D. Eisenhower as the name for the installation will take place on October 27th at Barton Field. The event is open to ID Card Holders and invited guests.
The Alliance for Fort Eisenhower promotes, coordinates, and advocates for the “Fort Eisenhower Cyber District” to stimulate investment in cyber growth and capitalize on opportunities for the benefit of all. For more information, please contact Dr. Tom Clark at [email protected]
