It was a good program and had the Mass. delegation been on the ball they would have moved Natick Labs to Fort Devens assuring that neither would ever be closed. The closure of Fort Devens was a real loss for New England and certainly for the MI & SF branches.

I agree. I believe 7th Group was there too, right?

I still drive through there from time-to-time when I go visit relatives. My old barracks are still there along with the main school house - before they built the no-window monstrosity ;)

Yes the brand new building without windows and the brand new control tower at Moore Army Air Field. When I was there in autumn 1995 they were venal siding barracks that the engineers knew were going to be torn down. Lots of good memories though and good people. There were 10th SF and also the reserve 11th SF along with various brigade and battalion size reserve elements. Combined there were probably ten to fifteen brigades of active duty and reserve soldiers throughout New England before the “Peace Dividend” cuts were made.
