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.

FORT EISENHOWER, Ga. (Nov. 21, 2024) -- Cyber Quest 2025 is set to take place June 2-18, 2025 in training areas on Fort Eisenhower. This annual data-centric experiment provides a hands-on, unique, realistic, operationally based environment to identify new and emerging technologies to enhance the Cyber, Electromagnetic Warfare, Information Advantage and Signal capabilities of Army operational forces.
The multinational experiment informs capability development requirements for future Army operations in a multidomain operations environment. This year Army Futures Command is experimenting with 24 technologies to inform concepts driven transformation associated with Decision Advantage, Zero Trust at the tactical edge and increased automation on the future battlefield. Cyber Quest identifies viable technologies for follow-on experimentation, serves as a risk reduction event for acquisition partners, and recommends mature technologies for rapid acquisition.
Soldiers from Army Cyber Command, 75th Innovation Command, Army Forces Command, and International Partners will observe and evaluate emerging solutions and/or technologies during Cyber Quest 2025. Field assessments of participating technologies will take place throughout the month of June.
A media day is planned during the exercise. More information will be released as the exercise nears.

FORT EISENHOWER (Oct. 10, 2024) – The Commanding General for the Cyber Center of Excellence and Fort Eisenhower has determined the installation can resume normal operations beginning at 8 a.m. Friday, Oct. 11, 2024.
“We are ready to re-open the gates of Fort Eisenhower and welcome back the full workforce, our beneficiaries, and the community. Over the past two weeks, herculean work has been accomplished on and off the installation – recovering from Hurricane Helene has been possible because of teamwork, community commitment, and neighborly care, “said Commanding General Maj. Gen. Ryan Janovic. “We have all learned more about resilience and readiness. I am humbled to be on this team and thankful for the support from the whole Army.”
The Safe Haven evacuation order will be rescinded at 11:59 p.m. tonight, Oct. 10, 2024. While the effects of the hurricane are ongoing, the majority of facilities are operational and plans are established for repairs or replacements.
Servicemembers and Civilian workers should contact their chain of command and/or supervisors for information on returning to work.

FORT EISENHOWER (Oct. 8, 2024) – Access to the installation and the reopening of services will happen in phases to ensure the safety of the Fort Eisenhower community.
The phased reopening of services will be deliberate and sequential. Chain of command and supervisors should be communicating their return-to-work plan to employees. DOD-ID card holders and previously credentialed contractors supporting priority projects may access the installation. The installation is not open to visitors at this time.
Open facilities include the Main Exchange, Military Clothing Sales, Commissary, UPS Store and the Shopettes gas and retail located at Gates 1 and 5.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center available services include pharmacies and emergency department. The main outpatient and exchange refill pharmacies are fully operational and urgent and emergent care is available 24/7 with limited capabilities to treat, stabilize and transfer, as necessary.
A full list of open services is available on the Garrison Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/forteisenhower or on the CCoE Website https://cybercoe.army.mil/Announcements-Press-Releases/. Any service not listed, is closed. Closed facilities and outdoor areas are off limits until they can be declared safe.
The Cyber Center of Excellence facility managers are finalizing inspections of each classroom to ensure we are ready to receive trainees in all disciplines. This includes inspecting for damage and cleaning areas that have been without power. Some classes may resume earlier than others as we safely re-establish our training cycles. Soldiers will be notified through their chain of command when to report to Fort Eisenhower.

Thank you for your support and continued care for one another.
FORT EISENHOWER (Oct. 3, 2024) – The Commanding General corrected the condition of access to Fort Eisenhower as CONTROLLED ACCESS.
As of Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024, the CG has defined CONTROLLED ACCESS as allowing for: mission essential personnel, first responders, and residents of Fort Eisenhower. Unit Commanders will define mission essential personnel for operational and installation-wide missions.
As services are sequentially restored for beneficiaries in the coming days, the controlled access definitions will be redefined to allow for more DOD ID card holders and beneficiaries to return to the installation as needed (i.e. retirees & family members able to return to Army/Air Force Exchange Service and the Commissary)
Once services, training, and operations have been fully established, and it is safe to do so, the installation will revert to OPEN, meaning only standard restrictions to entrance apply (e.g. non-ID card holders, individuals with warrants, etc).
Thank you for your support and continued care for one another.
Yesterday, 29 September, the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence and Fort Eisenhower Commanding General sought and gained approval for a “safe haven” declaration that increases the safety and wellbeing of forces and families assigned to Fort Eisenhower. This decision came after the unfortunate confluence of loss of power and water.
MG Ryan Janovic signed the memo to support the Soldiers, Civilians and Family Members assigned to Fort Eisenhower who are currently dealing with severely degraded living conditions caused by Hurricane Helene by offering a pathway for reimbursement for expenses incurred due to relocation to “safe haven” locations. A copy of the memorandum appeared today on social media sites; we confirm it is legitimate and benefits from this additional context.
We want to emphasize the memorandum and voluntary evacuation authorization has nothing to do with any threats to safety beyond the current absence of power and water on the installation.
The memo is not a mandatory evacuation order. The Joint Travel Regulation requires such a memorandum to authorize reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by permanent party who voluntarily evacuate up to 500 miles from Fort Eisenhower.
Mission essential personnel are required to remain as the Fort Eisenhower community continues to recover; leaders in each chain of command continue to identity the persons required for mission essential operations.
While the safe haven authorization does not apply to trainees assigned to the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence’s Cyber and Signal Schools, we are examining early graduations (approximately 600 trainees) and delayed reporting of next courses so that we can best care for the men and women here training.
Finally, and related, Fort Eisenhower remains in a “emergency and mission essential personnel only” status through Wednesday. We eagerly await the ability to open the post, rescind the safe have declaration, and regather the full force of the Fort. In the meantime, the safety and well-being of the entire team remains the priority.

FORT EISENHOWER (October 1, 2024) – Based upon continued degraded conditions on the installation, the Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Ryan M. Janovic, extended the installation closure through Friday, October 4, 2024. Only mission essential & emergency operations persons, as well as residents, will be allowed to enter the gates.
The safety, health, and security of our force and families on & off the installation remains the priority. We will spend the next 48 hours sequentially and safely restoring essential services so we can methodically re-open the installation.
AAFES facilities (to include fuel stations) and FMWR facilities remain closed.
The Commissary partially opened today to provide shelf-stable items to on-post residents and trainees. It is not available to off-post beneficiaries until the installation re-opens fully.
We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we continue to work through this emergency response and towards the recovery.
Remain safe as you work to recover from this storm.
Individuals requesting Hurricane Helene assistance are reminded that they can call the American Red Cross at 1-877-272-7337.
FORT EISENHOWER (Sept. 28, 2024) -- Fort Eisenhower is feeling the effects of this storm along with the rest of the CSRA. The power on Fort Eisenhower remains solely focused on mission essential facilities. Our families, Soldiers, and services are without power.
The Commissary, AAFES facilities, MWR facilities, and fuel stations remain closed, with no known reopening timeline as of Saturday, Sept. 28.
Our teams and community partners are actively working to clear trees and restore power across the installation. For this reason the installation remains closed. Only emergency, essential personnel and installation residents are being granted access to the post at this time.When power is restored, we will deliberately and sequentially re-open the installation and keep families and the community aware of the plan.
We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we work through the emergency part of the response and towards the recovery.
Remain safe as you work to recover from this storm. Individuals requesting Hurricane Helene assistance should call the American Red Cross through 8 a.m., Monday, Sept. 30. That number is 1-877-272-7337.
