Welcome to the Cyber Center of Excellence

The Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE) is the U.S. Army's force modernization proponent for Cyberspace Operations, Signal/Communications Networks and Information Services, and Electronic Warfare (EW), and is responsible for developing related doctrine, organizational, training, materiel, leadership/education, personnel, and facility solutions. A major aspect of the CCoE's mission is the training, education, and development of world-class, highly skilled Signal, Cyber, and EW professionals supporting operations at the strategic, operational, and tactical level.

Today's broad and rapidly changing global operational environment means the Department of Defense and the nation are required to function within an increasingly competitive, congested, and contested cyberspace and electromagnetic spectrum. Ultimately, the CCoE must enable commanders and leaders to seize, retain, and exploit freedom of action in both the land and cyberspace domains, while simultaneously denying and degrading the adversary use of the same.

  • Starting Monday, 5 February 2024, only Uniformed Services Identification (USID) cards, also known as DoD ID cards, are authorized to use McKenna Gate (Gate 1) from 5-9 a.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

    All vehicle occupants must be DoD ID card holders, children under the age of 10 with a DoD ID Card Holder or Gold Star Family Automated Installation Entry card. Trusted travelers, temporary pass or other AIE cards will not be permitted during the restricted times.

    Security personnel will turnaround any vehicle with Trusted Travelers or Pass/ Automated Installation Entry (AIE) cards (this includes Veterans Affairs issued ID cards) and redirect them to the Main Gate (Gate 6) or Gate 5 on Tobacco Road. For clarification on ID card variants, visit Next Generation Uniformed Services ID Card (cac.mil).

    Limiting access during peak hours should reduce traffic by 30% (approximately 1,500 vehicles). An analysis conducted by Department of Emergency Services determined current vehicle load during peak hours to be approximately 5,000.

    Redirecting traffic to Fort Eisenhower’s Main Gate (Gate 6), will:

    ·        Reduce congestion during morning commute hours at the Gordon Highway and Jimmy Dyess intersections creating a safety hazard for our workforce and the local community.

    ·        Assist medical personnel and those with medical appointments to arrive on time.

    ·        Reduce stress on security personnel and military manpower manning the gates during peak hours.

    FORT GORDON, Ga. – Fort Gordon is officially redesignating to Fort Eisenhower on Friday, Oct. 27 at 10 a.m. during a ceremony on the installation’s Barton Field.

    The last of nine Army installations to be renamed, the name change was announced July 11 by the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence Public Affairs Office in a release stating the new namesake honors General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his admiration for the Augusta area, a community that he found solace in throughout his presidential years.

    “Rising from second lieutenant to commander-in-chief, Eisenhower’s extensive, innovative, and effective military experience and leadership shaped our modern world,” said U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence and Fort Gordon Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton. “His dedication to ensuring equal rights for Soldiers and citizens alike continues to be an example and inspiration for the present and future Soldiers of the Army he so faithfully served and decisively led. General Eisenhower epitomizes those values we continue to instill in our Soldiers today.​”

    Attending the ceremony are friends and family of the Eisenhowers and leaders from across the Department of Defense, including granddaughters Susan and Mary Jean Eisenhower, Secretary of the Army, Christine E. Wormuth and Chair of the Congressional Naming Commission, Retired Navy Adm. Michelle Howard.

    FORT GORDON, Ga. – For seven years, Fort Gordon has partnered with local law enforcement for “Operation Southern Slow Down,” a collaboration between the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Region 4 and five southern states – Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The dates for this operation are July 17-23, 2023.

    To support this initiative, the Cyber Center of Excellence and Fort Gordon Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton, will join law enforcement representatives from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, Georgia State Patrol, Georgia Office of Highway Safety, Grovetown Police Department, NHTSA Region 4 and other law enforcement agencies for a press conference at the Fort Gordon Gat 6 Visitor Center on Monday, July 17, 2023, at 10 a.m.

    “In 2021, speeding killed 12,330 people and was a contributing factor in 29 percent of all traffic fatalities,” said Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton. “These deaths are completely preventable. During this Operation, it is my goal to educate our audience on the perils of speeding and distracted driving and educe these numbers significantly, both on and off post.”

    This highly visible, highly publicized enforcement and education initiative seeks to raise awareness and enforcement of traffic violations that contribute to many traffic crashes.

    Any media interested in attending, please RSVP to usarmy.gordon.cyber-coe.mbx.ccoe-website-and-media@mail.mil by 3 p.m. Friday, July 14, 2023. Media should meet at the Gate 6 Visitor Center by 9:30 a.m. on Monday, July 17.

    FORT GORDON, Ga. – It is officially announced that Oct. 27, 2023, is approved for the redesignation ceremony for the Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE) and Fort Gordon to implement the Naming Commission’s recommendation to recognize General Dwight D. Eisenhower as the namesake for our installation.

    “Rising from second lieutenant to commander-in-chief, Eisenhower’s extensive, innovative, and effective military experience and leadership shaped our modern world,” said CCoE and Fort Gordon Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton. “His dedication to ensuring equal rights for Soldiers and citizens alike continues to be an example and inspiration for the present and future Soldiers of the Army he so faithfully served and decisively led. General Eisenhower epitomizes those values we continue to instill in our Soldiers today.”

    To begin the transition to Fort Eisenhower, earlier this year the CCoE solicited submissions for a new logo. The logo selected was designed by Sgt. 1st Class Jason Spencer formerly of the Cyber Center of Excellence and now an Army Artist in Residence at Fort Belvoir, Va. Spencer’s entry was among 24 entries received from around the Central Savannah River Area and beyond. Spencer was recognized in a ceremony at CCoE in June.

    The redesignation ceremony will take place at Barton Field and is open to ID Card Holders and invited guests. The event will be streamed live on the CCoE’s social media for the public.

    Specific details will be announced as they are finalized through social media and press releases.

  • Due to anticipated inclement weather, this event is now scheduled for March 29th at 1 p.m.

    The Fort Gordon Garrison Command is hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony marking the reopening of the installation community garden March 27 at 1 p.m.

    Thanks to the hard work of Fort Gordon volunteers who lent a hand and their personal time, the post became the first Army Installation to sponsor an AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) group who contributed greatly to the effort as well. The AmeriCorps team spent approximately a month on Fort Gordon not only restoring the garden but also working on conservation projects in the installation’s training areas.

    After Monday’s ceremony, the garden will be turned over to Fort Gordon families for their enjoyment and use.

    The Fort Gordon Garrison Commander, COL Reginald Evans, will be the keynote speaker.
