A common U.S. Army combat order is to “secure the objective.”
That’s exactly what Fort Gordon's museum is fighting to do – to keep irreplaceable pieces of Signal Corps history from leaving Augusta forever.
The U.S. Army Signal Corps Museum at Fort Gordon officially closed in February with a casing ceremony held at the installation.
“The Army is making its decision in May or June,” said Amy Tuschen, executive director of the Fort Gordon Historical Museum Society. “They’re already packing everything up. By May or June, in the next 60 days max, they’re going to decide whether they’re going to keep the artifacts here.”
