Fort Gregg-Adams, home of the United States Army’s Sustainment Center of Excellence, as well as the Army’s Logistics Branch, Ordnance, Quartermaster, and Transportation Corps, is located in Prince George County, about 3 miles from Petersburg, Virginia. Established in 1917 as Camp Lee, construction on this new installation began following the declaration of war in WWI. The purpose for this facility was training soldiers that were to be sent to the Western Front. Camp Lee was officially closed in 1921, but was rebuilt and reopened in 1940 as a Quartermaster School. In 1950 Camp Lee was declared a permanent facility and renamed Fort Gregg-Adams. Modernization to the buildings and hospital took place during the 1950’s and 1960’s. The first training in the use of automated data processing was seen in 1966 when the first Quartermaster Officer Candidate School since WWII was opened. The U.S. Army Logistics Center was created and opened at Fort Gregg-Adams, focusing on the integration of the Quartermaster, Transportation, Ordnance, and Missile and Munitions centers and schools. The Logics Center was renamed the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM) in 1990 and in 2000 the two departments of the Quartermaster’s School gained new, state-of-the-art facilities. In 2001 Fort Gregg-Adams opened the Army Women’s Museum and has thousands of artifacts chronicling women’s involvement throughout Army history in its collection.
