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).
