Fort McPherson, Georgia

   

Fort McPherson is a U.S. Army base located in southwest Atlanta, Georgia. It is the home to the 3rd U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC), and Forces Command (FORSCOM). Named for Major General James Birdseye McPherson, the base was founded in September of 1885. The site, however, has been in use since 1835 and saw use as a Confederate post during the American Civil War. Fort Gillem, its neighbor and sub-installation, shares several common services, morale support activities, and other activities.
