RENNER Major General, USA Commanding HISTORY OF FORT JACKSON VICTORY STARTS HERE Although Fort Jackson was established to answer America's need for trained soldiers in the gathering storm of World War I, the very first fighting men to walk through these gates could point with a certain pride to a rich heritage and trace their military lineage to one of the earliest battles of the American Revolution. In June 1917, Company E, Ist Regiment, South Carolina Infantry became the first unit to arrive at the fledgling Camp Jackson. This unit was derived from the Second Regiment, South Carolina Line, Continental Establishment which defeated a British fleet in the battle of Fort Moultrie six days prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Although named for Major General Andrew Jackson, a native son of the Palmetto State and seventh president of the United States, the fort is actually situated on the former estate of General Wade Hampton, who served as an early governor of the state and as U.S. Senator. The initial site for the cantonment consisted of almost 1200 acres and was purchased by the citizens of Columbia and donated to the federal government initiating a long tradition of mutual respect and concern between the city and the fort. With an ideal climate for year- round training, the site designated Camp Jackson was chosen as one of 16 national cantonments constructed to supply the war effort. The pressures of war brought swift changes. Within 11 days of signing a contract to construct the post, the 100-man camp guard arrived. By the end of the first month, the labor force had grown to more than 1,200 and the first two barracks were completed. Two months later this force had grown to almost 10,000 men. Virtually overnight the post had grown from a sandy pine and scrub oak forest to a thriving training center complete with trolley line and hundreds of buildings. In the third month following the beginning of construction, some 8,000 draftees arrived and began training. Under the post's first acting commander, Brigadier General Charles H. Barth, its first military unit - the 81st, Wildcat Division - was formed. Members of the original camp guard who had been the first to occupy the fort were moved to Camp Sevier in Greenville, South Carolina and were incorporated into the 30th Old Hickory Division. More than 45,000 troops of these two divisions trained at Camp Jackson and saw action in France as part of the American expeditionary Forces in World War I. In less than eight months this vast military installation was completed. Where before there were sandhill forests and swamps, a new city stood. It boasted theaters, stores, kitchens, barracks, officers' quarters, training facilities, stables, warehouses, garages, an airfield, roads, bridges, railroads,water and sewer lines and was distinguished by having the largest government- operated laundry in the country. The hospital consisted of more than 80 buildings covering some 15 acres at the highest point on the post. But almost as suddenly as it had begun, the clamor and activity subsided. With the signing of the Armistice in 1918, the famed 30th Division was deactivated at Camp Jackson. The 5th Infantry Division trained here until deactivated in October of 1921. the installation reverted to control of the Cantonment Lands Commission, and from 1925 to 1939 the silence of the post was broken only by training exercises of the South Carolina National Guard. In 1940, the installation, once again under federal control, was officially designated Fort Jackson and was organized as an Infantry Training Center. Firing ranges were constructed and more than 100 miles of roads were hard surfaced. During World War II the Old Hickory 30th Division was one of the first units to occupy the Fort, just as it had in 1917. Among other famed units to train at Fort Jackson during the period were the 4th, 6th, 8th, 26th, 30th, 77th, 87th, 100th and the 106th. The 31st Dixie Division trained here during the Korean War. Literally thousands of troops were trained by other units at the Fort during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Today, Fort Jackson is officially designated as a U.S. Army Training Center where young men and women are taught to look, act and think as soldiers, always. From its earliest days, Fort Jackson personnel have exemplified the can-do spirit with the drive and the determination to get the job done. With some 70,000 soldiers trained here annually, it becomes clear that this is a living heritage and a tradition which continues today. Fort Jackson is one of the largest training facilities of its type in the world today. some 70,000 soldiers are trained here annually. The post is almost 53,000 acres or 82 square miles in area and there are more than 1,700 buildings. Access to the installation and its training areas is provided by more than 130 miles of unsurfaced roads. The first flag unfurled over the post in November 1917 was flown from the tallest flagpole in the United States measuring some 153 feet. The first all-black regiment of World Was I was organized here in July of 1917. Organized as the First Provisional Infantry regiment CColoredD and later designated as the 371st Infantry Regiment, this unit was officially assigned to the French army. It was cited for bravery under fire and received more than 100 individual and unit decorations. The first all-female brigade was established at Fort Jackson in July of 1974. It was designated the 5th Basic Training Brigade. In keeping with its record of historical firsts, Fort Jackson became the proving ground for the integration of basic training by sex. Both men and women are required to meet the same rigid standards of excellence. 'M W ,, f ,xly fx 2 , 9 , If 1 M 7' gg! 2 W il . - , , ,. . . ' -?7fJ41Q',--J J, ff ' gb .

Here begins the basic training that forms a foundation on which future accomplishments are built. Here, the new recruit receives a total haircut, is issued regulation clothing and is given a complete medical exam and inoculations. Aptitude testing, classification and an orientation briefing follow in short order. This is the beginning of a challenge. A challenge to complete the next eight weeks of arduous training and physical conditioning. a challenge to learn, to excel, to rise above the average and to become a professional soldier. It is a challenge to be humble, polite, honorable, obedient and, at the same time, be proud, aggressive, stealthful, and independent. It also is a challenge to learn to be a member of a team where each individual can be depended upon to support the team's goals. The basic training received during the next eight weeks will accomplish all of the above - and then some. For those who make it to the end of the training cycle the reward is an inner assurance of strength, mind and body. The soldier is out of the recruit phase and well on the way to becoming a proud and professional member of the worlds greatest army. , 3 X I + Y ARMY MUSCLE ARMY MW: wwf V--f , k W J ' ' + 1 'r wf I ' N W m nu Z'fwf ' 3 i x ' ' ,, ,F ix? k .

The army trains its soldiers to protect themselves against nuclear, biological, and chemical attack. The use of the protective mask is an essential part of the training. Removal of the mask after entering a controlled environment of mild tear gas is an uncomfortable but harmless way to demonstrate the effectiveness of the mask. li! . wwlrlwi K0 2 it 'Q A A annul nr AA as H M W Nxw' , I if-I HIP' A ' ' I' 1 i a I.. 4, L. - Linn: fx 1 U 1' ' H 'fm' .U 'ff-'Ni . ar- 'L '. ,- ' - 5 - 5 as ' 1 ' ,,- . rd -, , s 4 . 1 .fp ' -' 'r' ,f MJ. ,VM ,. ,, , ,M L 'fy A-ww 4,1 -S ', - v 1' , s Nm .M .. 1 ffl' ang A V , 'K .

For a carpenter it might be a hammer, for a doctor a stethoscope, and for a soldier it is always the rifle. And, like any professional tool, proficiency in use and maintenance is mandatory. Basic rifle marksmanship begins the training to use and maintain the rifle in a professional capacity. The soldier spends many hours learning to properly strip and clean the rifle and to learn the basic fundamentals of windage, aiming and firing the Weapon in a safe and proficient manner from Various positions. 4 , Y 'riff o1,f 4L f 72 QQ Vx fq A wf If Vxf Wm 56 'w P Aff fin A gf x gfxx if 4156 ff ff' 5- pi' K5 ff X09 5 ---sa.-..,,sm W IF K 'Iii -as-4: ?

Where dining facilities are not available one must take what is available. Available may mean chow prepared at a dining facility and transported to the field. It also may mean eating pre-prepared and pre-packaged meals known as M.R.E.s. ClVleals Ready To Eatl. Whatever type chow is available, the soldier usually eats plenty of it. 1 If W...-aI + W! - ,nw ls K -s I ,I . 1' xi iff, I N .
