The Army activated the Installation Management Command (IMCOM) on Oct. 24, 2006 to consolidate and strengthen installation support services to Soldiers and their families through the full authority of command. The new command placed the former Installation Management Agency (IMA) under a single command as a direct reporting unit. The IMCOM mission is to manage Army installations to support readiness and mission execution, provide equitable services and facilities, optimize resources, sustain the environment and enhance the well being of the military community.
The U.S. Army Garrison—Fort Gordon is one of 20 installations within IMCOM Southeast. Fort Gordon's Garrison provides the logistical and community services that are necessary for the day-to-day operation of the installation. The Garrison is responsible for the infrastructure of Fort Gordon, including all buildings, roads, grounds, utilities and communications, and for vital community services, such as housing management, food service, security and law enforcement, fire prevention and protection and safety, as well as unit deployment/redeployment support. The well being of our people is a key concern of the Garrison.Many programs and services are designed to make life at Fort Gordon a pleasant, rewarding and satisfying experience. These programs and services are numerous and include the Gordon Club, Army Community Service, transition services, library services, recreation services, child development services and many more. The Garrison also provides the military and civilian personnel support services that are necessary for mission accomplishment at the life-sustaining measures in incidents when military police are the first responders to situations. The Soldiers of the detachment are proud to serve the Fort Gordon community and uphold their motto, "Of the Troops—For the Troops."
