Fort Stewart
Fort Stewart is a United States Army post in the U.S. state of Georgia. It lies primarily in Liberty and Bryan counties, but also extends into smaller portions of Evans, Long, and Tattnall Counties. The nearby city of Hinesville, along with Ft. Stewart and the rest of Liberty and Long Counties, comprise the Hinesville metropolitan area. Much of Fort Stewart's garrison are members of the 3rd Infantry Division.
The Fort Stewart Military Reservation includes about 280,000 acres (1,100 km2), including land that was formerly the town of Clyde, Georgia.
Fort Stewart is located along the Canoochee River.
Units assigned to Fort Stewart are:
3rd Infantry Division
Fort Stewart is named for Brigadier General Daniel Stewart, a hero of the Revolutionary War and a political leader from Liberty County, Georgia. It is the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River, covering 280,000 acres (1,100 km2), which include parts of Liberty, Long, Bryan, Evans, and Tattnall Counties. The reservation is about 39 miles (63 km) across from east to west, and 19 miles (31 km) from north to south. During World War II, the camp had billeting space for 2,705 officers, and 37,267 enlisted men. It is close to the East Coast, and two deepwater ports: Savannah, Georgia (42 mi) and Charleston, South Carolina (142 mi). Tank, field artillery, helicopter gunnery, and small-arms ranges operate simultaneously throughout the year with little time lost to bad weather.
In June 1940, Congress authorized funding for the purchase of property in coastal Georgia for the purpose of building an antiaircraft artillery training center. It was to be located just outside Hinesville, Georgia, some 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Savannah.
On 1 July 1940, the first 5,000 acres (20 km2) were bought and subsequent purchases followed. Eventually the reservation would include over 280,000 acres (1100 km2) and stretch over five counties. The large expanse of property was required for the firing ranges and impact areas which an antiaircraft artillery training center would need for live-fire training.
