Fort Eustis' 100th Anniversary-- Part 2: Trained Artillery Men During Both World Wars

Fort Eustis was named for Brevet Brigadier General Abraham Eustis, a veteran of the War of 1812.  The fort was established to train artillerymen during World War I.  Some 20,000 trained there with some winding up in balloons and airplanes acting as artillery spotters.

The fort served the same role during World War II.

Today, it is the home of the Army Transportation Corps.  It became this after World War II.
