This month Brigadier General Welton Chase joined us to share the journey through time with BG Welton Chase to see how "Camp Gordon" transformed from a World War II training camp - producing brave, combat arms, fighting Infantryman wielding bayonets and maneuvering tanks - into today's "Fort Gordon," a cyber dominance platform - developing the most elite, powerful, Information Warrior of tomorrow's fighting force.
