REPORTING INFORMATION

Whether you are inbound or contemplating a transfer here, you will discover that Information Warfare Training Site (IWTS) Fort Eisenhower is a challenging and rewarding duty station.

Fort E isenhower is located in north central Georgia and is within easy driving distance of Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and other cities along the east coast. Augusta is the second largest city in Georgia with a population of nearly half a million, but still manages to display the feel of a small town. It is also home to the Masters Golf tournament. Friendly people, an overabundance of first-class amenities, fine dining, and a growing arts community are all factors that contribute to a superb quality of life and underscore why so many people choose to serve and retire here. Housing choices range from affordable, quality houses and apartments, to modest homes on acreage, to luxurious residences in gated country clubs. Temporary quarters, family housing, and barracks are also available on base.

Activities and programs abound for youth, teens, and adults. Fort Eisenhower’s Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) website offers a variety of programs and services for single or unaccompanied Sailors and their families, including computers, games, trips, a golf course, bowling, child care, camping, fishing, riding stables, and much more! You can shop at a modern, well-stocked commissary and the Post Exchange.

Finally, remember to regularly inform your sponsor and command about your travel plans, especially if you encounter emergencies along the way or cannot arrive safely or as scheduled.

We look forward to your safe arrival and to welcoming you to IWTS Fort Eisenhower. You will enjoy living here, being part of our family, and working with a winning team of professionals.
