FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. \u2013 Fort Meade broke ground on the construction of two new buildings, the Freedom Center IV barracks, in ceremonies Nov. 9. The barracks will house 380 enlisted service members from all military branches when complete.<\/p>\n

Special guest speaker, Gen. Paul Nakasone, Commander U.S. Cyber Command, Chief Central Security Service (CSS) and the Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), identified those service members in his remarks. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be members of the Central Security Service, 40 percent of NSA\u2019s workforce, the Marines, the Soldiers, the Sailors, the Airmen, the Guardians, the Coast Guardsmen that make up the analysts and linguists and reporters that ensure that the National Security Agency can do its principal missions of signals intelligence and cyber security.<\/p>\n

This is a world-class facility for a world-class workforce,\u201d said Nakasone.<\/p>\n

Gen. Nakasone also talked about the cooperation it took to get to this stage. \u201cIt\u2019s been a partnership, the partnership of U.S. Army Garrison Fort (George G.) Meade led by Col. Michael Sapp, Directorate of Public Works (DPW), obviously working very hard to make sure that we have everything that we need, and my incredible team, Installations and Logistics led by Mr. Randy Westfall at the National Security Agency. I also pass along my thanks to our representatives and certainly our congressional leaders that have been so key for us to be able to ensure that we have the funding and resources to be able to build such world-class facilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Col. Michael Sapp, Commander, U.S. Army Garrison Fort George G. Meade also emphasized the importance of partnership. \u201cAs you know, the combined effort between the NSA and the U.S. Army Garrison (Fort George G. Meade) to fund this facility could only happen because of the partnership and cooperation. When we combine our efforts, we can do so many great things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese buildings and the joint service members that will reside in them are another reminder of the incredible talent and skills that we need to attract and retain service members with skills that the nation needs so dearly. It should not be underestimated and cannot be overstated the quality housing and the impact it will have on morale and the quality of work,\u201d Sapp added.<\/p>\n

The Freedom Center IV project represents the first phase of the long-term barracks solution at Fort Meade. \u201cA solution that\u2019s vital for this installation\u2019s growing mission, as it provides tenants with the proper, necessary housing that they deserve,\u201d said Lt. Col. David Myers, Deputy District Commander, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Baltimore District).<\/p>\n

Garrison Housing Chief, Aimee Stafford, who also served as the ceremony\u2019s emcee said, \u201cThis project has been a long time coming, over 10 years. With included kitchenettes, it will be quite an upgrade from the barracks that will be demolished by the time this project is complete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials of the Freedom Center IV project have set a target completion date in the Fall of 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
