The Stewart/Hunter complex is the U.S. Army's premier heavy force power projection platform on the East Coast. The Stewart/Hunter complex is home to the most highly trained and rapidly deployable mechanized force in the world - the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized), the "Iron Fist" of the XVIII Airborne Corps.
Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield are the home of the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized), and combine to be the Army's Premier Power Projection Platform on the Atlantic
Coast (41 miles southwest of Savannah, GA.) It is the largest, most effective and efficient armor training base east of the Mississippi, covering 280,000 acres including parts of Liberty, Long, Tattnall, Evans and Bryan counties in southeast Georgia.
Hunter Army Airfield is home to the Army's longest runway on the east coast (11,375 feet) and the Truscott Air Deployment Terminal. Together these assets are capable of deploying units such as the heavy, armored forces of the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) or the elite light fighters of the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.
