FORT BRAGG, N.C. (June 23, 2011) -- Tommy Bolton, the Civilian Assistant to the Secretary of the Army for North Carolina, and 20 business and community leaders from Pinehurst, N.C., visited the newly completed U.S. Army Forces Command and U.S. Army Reserve Command combined headquarters complex here today.
Ted Kientz, the FORSCOM Base Realignment and Closure Liaison Team leader, escorted the group and answered their insightful questions, which ranged from what FORSCOM and USARC’s missions are, to the project’s economic impact on the region.
As they traveled from floor-to-floor, viewing design feature after design feature, Kientz told the group about the sustainable materials used in the building’s construction, environmental and historic considerations, and state-of the-art enhancements designed to optimize mission accomplishment, and working conditions for the nearly 2,800 Soldiers and Army civilians who will occupy in the building.
FORSCOM is the Army's largest command and the generating force provider for combatant commanders worldwide. A major subordinate command of FORSCOM, USARC commands, controls and supports all conventional Army Reserve units in the continental United States.
Both headquarters are now relocating to Fort Bragg in accordance with the 2005 BRAC legislation.
