Fort Gordon, located near Augusta, Georgia, and home to the U.S. Army Signal Corps and the U.S. Army Cyber Command, marks the halfway point in the U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour’s 25 military base tour.
Lexington, KY (June 2023) – U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, and one of the largest military suppliers of uniforms, boots, and gear, leave the Carolinas for the first of three base stops in Georgia, starting at Fort Gordon. Home of the U.S. Army Cyber Command, the Army’s cyber force defends military networks, secures Army weapons platforms, and protects critical U.S. infrastructure, both defensively and offensively against global adversaries 24/7.
The U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour team will be at the Fort Gordon base exchange on Sunday, June 11, at Bldg. 38200 3rd Ave. The event will feature food, drinks, promos, giveaways, and a chance to win the 2023 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 4×4 the U.S. Patriot team is traveling 6800 miles round-trip in. The event is open to all former and current military members and their families.
“The purpose of this tour is to meet our customers face-to-face, get to know our troops, and bring their voice directly into how we serve them better for their tactical gear needs.,” Mike Fadden, CEO of U.S. Patriot, said. “There is no better way to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who serve our country than to meet them in person, celebrate their stories and create a fun and memorable event they can enjoy with their families.”
The tour will be interactive, and the military service members will be encouraged to leave their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind by the end of the tour. At the conclusion of the tour, the Jeep will be given away through a sweepstake random drawing to one lucky winner. All active-duty military members, national guard members, reservists, military retirees, military veterans, and dependents of active-duty military members are eligible to enter the sweepstakes. No purchase is necessary.

About Fort Gordon, Georgia:
During WWII, Camp Gordon was activated for training infantry and armor divisions, including the 4th and 26th Infantry Divisions, and the storied 10th Armored Division that fought with George S. Patton’s Third Army. After WWII, Camp Gordon saw the establishment of the Signal Corps Training Center, and later with the addition of the Military Police School, and by 1949, the activation of the Engineer Aviation Unit Training Center.
During the 1950s it became the site for Military Government Training for the Army, as well as the only Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory in the U.S., and the Rehabilitation Training Center and U.S. Disciplinary Barracks. Camp Gordon became a permanent Army installation in 1956 and was redesignated Fort Gordon.
During the 1960s, infantry, military police, and signal soldiers all went through Fort Gordon’s U.S. Army Training Center (Basic). The Signal Corps training continued to expand and the Army consolidated all communications training at Fort Gordon in the 1970s. The Army’s Computer Science School arrived in the 1980s.

Fort Gordon is an integral part of the Nation’s defense. Fort Gordon is not only the home of the Signal Regiment, but also supports the 35th Signal Brigade, the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade, the National Security Agency/Central Security Service Georgia, and the 7th Signal Command. In 2014, Fort Gordon was designated as the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence. Originally named for Confederate Lt. General John Brown Gordon, the military installation is due for its renaming ceremony to that of Fort Eisenhower. The tentative date is October 2023.
