=== 1965β1990: Vietnam War and aftermath: Consolidation of Logistics under TRADOC === [[File:VIPs pictured during the Opening and Dedication Ceremony for the Army Womens Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia.jpeg|thumb|VIPs pictured during the Opening and Dedication Ceremony for the Army Women's Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia]] The rapid logistics buildup in [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] after 1965 signaled an urgent need for many more soldiers in the Quartermaster Corps. Fort Lee responded by going into overdrive. For a time, the school maintained three shifts, and round-the-clock training. A Quartermaster Officer Candidate School opened in 1966 for the first time since World War II. A mock Vietnamese "village" was created on post to familiarize trainees with guerrilla tactics and the conditions in which they could expect to fight in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Part of the sixties-era Quartermaster training program also saw the first widespread local use of automated data processing equipment.<ref name="auto1"/> In July 1973, Fort Lee came under the control of U.S. Army [[Training and Doctrine Command]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://richmond.com/news/local/tri-cities/fort-lee-statue-honors-female-warriors/article_41ca7aad-0ff8-5981-ae3f-71607ccf3a97.html |title=Fort Lee statue honors female warriors |work= Richmond Times-Dispatch|department= Tri-Cities News |date=8 November 2013 |access-date=11 February 2022|author-last1=Bowes|author-first1=Mark}}</ref> Additionally, the [[United States Army Combined Arms Support Command|U.S. Army Logistics Center]] was established in 1973 to serve as an "integrating center" for the Quartermaster, Transportation, Ordnance, and Missile and Munitions Centers and Schools β the traditional [[Combat service support|Combat Service Support]] branches. Again in 1990, there was a post reorganization and restructuring and the U.S. Army Logistics Center was re-designated the [[United States Army Combined Arms Support Command|U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command]] (CASCOM), and the CASCOM Commander became the Fort Lee Installation Commander as well.
