History
Fort Stewart is named for Brigadier General Daniel Stewart, a hero of the Revolutionary War and a political leader from Liberty County, Georgia. It is the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River, covering 280,000 acres (1,100 km2), which include parts of Liberty, Long, Bryan, Evans, and Tattnall Counties. The reservation is about 39 miles (63 km) across from east to west, and 19 miles (31 km) from north to south. During World War II, the camp had billeting space for 2,705 officers, and 37,267 enlisted men. It is close to the East Coast, and two deepwater ports: Savannah, Georgia (42 mi) and Charleston, South Carolina (142 mi). Tank, field artillery, helicopter gunnery, and small-arms ranges operate simultaneously throughout the year with little time lost to bad weather.
