(FORT HOOD TEXAS) U.S. Rep. John Carter (R-TX31) today announced that Fort Hood will be the new home of First Army Division West Headquarters a unit of 601 military and civilian personnel currently headquartered at Fort Carson Colorado.
Long-term dedication to excellence has resulted in long-term growth" says Congressman Carter. As we continue to build Fort Hood into the Armys top base worldwide we will continue to gain new units to the Fort and thats good economic news for everyone in Central Texas."
Carter credits outstanding military and civilian leadership in the Fort Hood area with the win and believes the recent success in landing $641 million for the first phase of a new hospital was a factor in this victory.
Knowing that Fort Hood would have state-of-the-art health care facilities to service our active and retired military families had to have played a role in this decision" says Carter. I believe success builds on success and we are now starting to see years of work falling into place."
