"U.S. Turns Over Two Posts
THE United States officially handed over two of its 10 military posts in Panama during early September ceremonies in Panama City.
Fort Davis and Fort Gulick were returned to the Panamanian government as a milestone in the implementation of the 1977 Panama Canal Treaty.
Fort Davis was officially established as an infantry post in 1919, and Fort Gulick Military Reservation opened in 1941 as an anti-aircraft and harbor defense site.
In 1984, in compliance with the Panama Canal Treaty, a portion of Fort Gulick --- with the exception of family housing, the ammunition storage area and several community service facilities --- transferred to the Republic of Panama and was renamed Fort Espinar by Panama.
In preparation for the latest transfer, units at Fort Davis were transferred or inactivated. Almost 1,500 military personnel, 600 civilian employees and 1,400 family members were moved to Panama's Pacific Community installations or other posts outside Panama.
With Fort Davis and Fort Gulick now under Panamanian control, Fort Sherman, site of the Jungle Operations Training Center, and the Galeta Island Communications Facility remain the last U.S. military facilities in the Atlantic Community. -- U.S. Army, South, Public Affairs Office"
