USA ORD SVC CARIB DET2 FTGULICK CZ

**USA ORD SVC CARIB DET2 FTGULICK CZ** refers to Detachment 2 of the Ordnance Service, United States Army, Caribbean, stationed at Fort Gulick in the Canal Zone. Activated during the mid-20th century, this unit was responsible for the storage, maintenance, and distribution of ordnance materiel supporting U.S. military operations in the Panama Canal Zone and the wider Caribbean region. Operating from Fort Gulick—strategically located on the Atlantic side of the canal—the detachment played a critical role in ensuring the readiness and logistical capabilities of U.S. forces during periods of heightened Cold War tensions. The unit’s activities included ammunition management, weapons repair, and technical support for allied and U.S. forces until its eventual deactivation as American military presence in the Canal Zone was reduced in the late 20th century.
