=== 2001β2020: 9/11, BRAC, and Sustainment Center of Excellence === In May 2001, the [[United States Army Women's Museum|U.S. Army Women's Museum]] (AWM) relocated to Fort Lee. It offered more than 13,000 sq. feet of gallery space and thousands of artifacts used to tell the long, proud history of women in the Army. Additionally, the installation hosted a growing number of tenant activities such as the [[Army Logistics Management College|Army Logistics Management Center]] (ALMC), Readiness Group Lee, Materiel Systems Analysis Activity, the [[Leonard T. Gerow|General Leonard T. Gerow]] U.S. Army Reserve Center, the [[Defense Commissary Agency]] (DECA), USAR 80th Division, and several other Department of Army and Department of Defense activities.<ref name="auto1"/> ==== Base Realignment and Closure 2005 ==== [[File:Fort Lee SCOE HQ Building (081116-A-5177B-001) (3075232190).jpg|thumb|U.S. Army Command Arms Support Command (circa 2009)]] In 2005, the [[Base Realignment and Closure]] (BRAC) law was passed by Congress. One of BRAC's requirements was the relocation of the [[United States Army Ordnance Corps]] headquarters, the [[United States Army Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School]] (OMMS) from Aberdeen Proving Ground, the [[United States Army Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School]] (OMEMS) from Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and the [[United States Army Ordnance Training and Heritage Center|Ordnance Museum]] to Fort Gregg-Adams by September 2011.<ref name="OrdnanceTanks">{{cite web|title=Ordnance tanks, artillery arrive at Fort Lee|date=5 August 2009|publisher=Fort Lee Public Affairs Office|url=https://www.army.mil/article/25491/ordnance-tanks-artillery-arrive-at-fort-lee/|access-date=23 November 2011}}</ref> The transfer of artifacts from Aberdeen to Fort Gregg-Adams began in August 2009, with the former museum now designated the [[U.S. Army Ordnance Training and Heritage Center]] at Fort Gregg-Adams.<ref name="OrdnanceTanks" /> Also, the headquarters of the U.S. Army Transportation Center and School from [[Fort Eustis]] was brought to the installation. One of the principal parts of BRAC was the [[Sustainment Center of Excellence]] (SCoE) headquarters building project. In the summer of 2007, there was a ground-breaking ceremony on [[William W. Seay|Sergeant Seay Field]], the site of the new facility. The SCoE headquarters took 18 months to build and was formally dedicated in January 2009. It now houses the [[United States Army Combined Arms Support Command|Combined Arms Support Command]] and command groups for the [[Quartermaster Center and School|Quartermaster]], [[United States Army Ordnance Corps|Ordnance]], and [[Transportation Corps]]. During a ceremony on 30 July 2010, the old CASCOM headquarters was officially retired, and the new building was proudly rededicated as "Mifflin Hall". To help make way for the structure, the First Logistical Command Memorial β which had been located on that site since 1974 β was carefully unmoored and moved to a more prominent spot facing the main post entrance.<ref name="auto1"/> [[File:Army Logistics University.jpg|thumb|The [[Army Sustainment University]] is located on Fort Gregg-Adams.]]In addition, a new [[Army Sustainment University|U.S. Army Logistics University]] was built and opened in July 2009 to centralize basic and advanced NCO, warrant officer, commissioned officer and government civilian leadership training for all Army sustainment branches. The 400,000-square-foot building now offers more than 200 courses and trains upward of 2,300 military and civilian students daily. Its International Studies program is attended by military personnel from more than 30 allied countries.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Command History Office |date=11 September 2023 |title=Army Sustainment University History |url=https://alu.army.mil/about/history/ |website=Army Sustainment University Command History Webpage}}</ref> Fort Gregg-Adams is the country's first army post to host a 'full-size' statue commemorating the service of women in the Army. The statue was unveiled in 2013.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bell |first1=T. Anthony |title='Lt.

With the completion of the BRAC construction projects, the installation acquired 6.5 million square feet of new facilities and about 70,000 troops now train here each year. In 2017, the post marked its Centennial with a year-long celebration themed "A Century of Support to the Nation."
