Their goal was to find and map the NAZI RADAR units. @ 3:30PM The history of Camp Evans' parent installation, Fort Monmouth, NJ, begins in May 1917 when, as part of its wartime mobilization, the Army authorized four training camps for signal troops. One camp would be located in central NJ - that which would eventually be known as "Fort Monmouth," in honor of the soldiers of the American Revolution who fought and died at the nearby Battle of Monmouth. The Army Signal Corps trained thousands of men for war there, and built laboratories that worked on pioneering technologies like air to ground radio. Though the base was supposed to be temporary, it wound up outliving the war. It was for decades known as the "Home of the Signal Corps," and, until its closure in 2011, the base was still innovating some of the most significant communications and electronics advances in military history - many of which would save lives on the battlefield and also be adapted for civilian use. By Monmouth University Professor Melissa Ziobro, the last Command Historian at Fort Monmouth prior to the base's closure in 2011, InfoAge trustee, and author of Fort Monmouth: The Army's House of Magic (2024).
