The Army Cyber Command is in the early stages of planning the construction of its new headquarters at Fort Gordon, Georgia, a facility that could cost between $100 million to $250 million, according to local reports.
The headquarters will include a command and control facility and a cyber protection team operations facility, both built to the secure compartmented information facility (SCIF) standards used in classified Defense Department settings. One structure will house the Army Cyber Command/Joint Forces Headquarters, and the other will provide an administrative area that includes “special use space for a SCIF and forensic lab” as well as food service and physical fitness areas, the Augusta Chronicle reported on Jan. 11.

Army gears up to build out cyber headquarters
The Army on Dec. 18 posted notice on FedBizOpps.com, the federal government's primary acquisition site, of the initial steps for the bidding process. Contracts are expected in two parts, likely to be awarded fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017 and each completed within two years, respectively.
Army Cyber Command is in the process of transitioning to Fort Gordon, which already is home to the Army Cyber Center of Excellence, the Army Cyber School as well as the 7th Signal Command. Also onsite are the National Security Agency's local facilities.
