Washington, D.C. – Congressman Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (GA-01) announced today that the 63d Expeditionary Signal Battalion will be restationed at Fort Stewart. The Army’s planned force structure will bring 492 soldiers and their families to the post.
“We work every day to attract new missions to our installations and this is great news for our area,” said Carter. “We know Fort Stewart is the premiere Army installation in the country and I am proud of the great work the men and women on post are doing to demonstrate that. This move makes clear their efforts have not gone unnoticed by the Army. I will continue to work with the communities that surround the post to attract new missions and keep Fort Stewart growing.”
The 63d Expeditionary Signal Battalion’s mission focuses on rapidly deploying worldwide to engineer, install, operate, maintain and defend in support of Full Spectrum Operations. The 63d Expeditionary Signal Battalion is the U.S. Army’s contribution to the Global Information Grid, which globally interconnects with end-to-end information capabilities for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating and managing information on demand to warfighters, policy makers, and support personnel.
