Army Cyber Command Completes its Move to Georgia Base
2020-09-04 09:45

The Army command dedicated to defending against hackers and other online threats celebrated its move into a new $366 million headquarters in Georgia on Thursday.

Created a decade ago, the Army Cyber Command had been spread across Army installations in three states before consolidating at Fortitude Hall, its new home at Fort Gordon in Augusta.

The U.S. military established the Army Cyber Command in 2010 after the Defense Department declared cyberspace a new domain for warfare, citing rising threats from hackers backed by foreign governments and online attackers acting independently.

Elements of the Army Cyber Command were also based in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and Fort Meade, Maryland.

Army Cyber Command's leader, Lt. Gen. Stephen G. Fogarty, and his command staff have been working at Fort Gordon since July.
