The Soldier Service Center,
Building 5700, is a state-of-the-art,
customer oriented facility that
centralizes most personnel services for
Soldiers, family members, civilians,
contractors, and retirees.
The Army Aviation Warfighting Center, Fort Rucker, Alabama, is
located in the southeast corner of Alabama. Fort Rucker is
approximately 80 miles south of Montgomery and 20 miles
northwest of Dothan. Florida's Gulf Coast lies 80 miles to the
south. The communities of Enterprise, Daleville, and Ozark are
west, south and east of the post, respectively and serve as
our three main gates. The post covers about 64,500 acres of
countryside in an area known as the "Wiregrass," named for a
wild grass peculiar to the region. The area is known for its
lower cost of living, making it a prime target for real estate
investments. The base operator's phone number is (334)
255-1110 or DSN 312-558-1110.
History
Fort Rucker and Army Aviation trace their origins back to
earlier eras, as both were products of World War II. During
World War II, America conducted a manpower mobilization
unprecedented in its history in terms of total numbers. The
United States put into uniform over 16 million men and
approximately 333,000 women. This mobilization called for the
creation of new training camps and military bases, including
Camp Rucker, named in honor of Colonel Edmund W. Rucker, a
Civil War Confederate Officer, who was given the honorary
title of "General." With the consolidation of all Army
Aviation flight training at Fort Rucker in 1973, the post
became the Mecca for Army aviators. Air Force helicopter
pilots have also trained here since 1971, as have students
from more than 60 foreign countries.
Mission
The current mission of the Army Aviation Warfighting Center is
to develop the aviation force for its worldwide mission. This
mission includes developing concepts, doctrine, organization,
training, leader development, material, and soldier
requirements. It is also to provide resident and nonresident
aviation maintenance, logistics and leadership training in
support of the total force and foreign nations for the
sustainment of joint and combined aviation operations. Major
commands on Fort Rucker include U.S. Army Garrison Fort
Rucker, U.S. Army Aviation Warfighting Center, U.S. Army
Combat Readiness Center, U.S. Army Warrant Officer Career
Center, U.S. Army Aviation Technical Test Center (ATTC),
Aviation Center Logistics Command (ACLC), U.S. Army
Aeromedical Center, U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory,
U.S. Army School of Aviation Medicine, and U.S. Army Air
Traffic Services Command (ATSCOM).
