REPORTING INFORMATION

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

Fort Gordon is located in north central Georgia and within easy driving distance of Charleston and Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, as well as other cities along the East Coast. Augusta is the third-largest city in Georgia with a population of nearly half a million but still manages to display that small-town feel. It's also home to the Masters 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 and 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 Gordon’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation 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 Post Exchange.

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

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

UNIFORMS

Fort Gordon is located in Navy Region Southeast. The winter uniform shift occurs in November and the summer uniform period typically begins in March, in accordance with regional commander guidance. The Uniform Shop on base does not adequately stock Navy uniforms, so ensure you have the proper uniform items. You can order online at Navy Exchange Uniform Support Center or call 800-368-4088.

STUDENTS

Reporting procedures

Temporary additional duty (TEMADD), permanent change of station (PCS), active duty for training (ACDUTRA) or Catalog of Navy Training Courses (CANTRAC) reservations are required for all courses. The orders must identify course number and title, student's name, rate/rank and Social Security number.

Students must report to classes no later than 8 a.m. on class convening date. Students on PCS orders or from out of area and arriving earlier than class convening date must have orders stamped at IWTS Fort Gordon in Building 25706.

Students who arrive on class convening day report directly to Building 25706 for further information, muster and class-up instructions.

Students who arrive for schools must meet course prerequisites or may be returned to their parent command. If prospective students don't meet all prerequisites, the training course manager must approve your waiver request. Students must also meet obligated service requirements, per the MILPERSMAN and/or Enlisted Transfer Manual.

Command obligations

In order to improve performance and minimize interference with school-related requirements, it's recommended that students attending formal courses become exempt from regular-duty requirements.

Uniforms

Working uniforms are required the first day of class (E-6 and below: Navy Working Uniform; E-7 and above: khakis). Students must comply with Navy standards of dress and grooming.

Class attendance

Students attending courses of instruction without TEMADD orders remain under the parent command's administrative control. The parent command shall ensure the student reports to class on time each day as assigned.

Discipline

A breach of discipline on liberty or duty will result in immediate disciplinary action, which may include disenrollment and return to parent command.

Leave

Leave, except for emergency leave, will not be granted to students. Modification to orders authorizing leave will not be honored unless received in writing prior to a student's scheduled departure date.

Messing

Fort Gordon has three Army dining facilities, as well as other fast-food restaurants and a Post Exchange food court.

Transportation

Classroom locations are within walking distance of barracks. Out-of-area students arriving at Augusta Regional Airport should contact the IWTS Fort Gordon command duty officer at 706-421-4726 to inquire on the availability of military transportation to Building 25706. Otherwise, a commercial taxi may be taken.
