FT McLellan

Fort McClellan, located near Anniston, Alabama, served as a significant U.S. Army installation from its establishment in 1917 until its closure in 1999. Originally opened to train troops for World War I, it later became a major training center during World War II, hosting infantry, chemical corps, and Women's Army Corps units. Throughout the Cold War, Fort McClellan was home to the U.S. Army Chemical School, Military Police School, and the Women's Army Corps School. The base played a vital role in preparing soldiers for service until its deactivation as part of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process.
