=== 1950–1965: Cold War Era growth ===
During the [[Korean War]] (1950–1953), tens of thousands of soldiers arrived at Fort Lee to receive logistics training before heading overseas. Official recognition of its permanent status was obtained in 1950 and the post was redesignated Fort Lee.

After the Korean War, progress was made on an ambitious permanent building program.

==== Air Force SAGE site ====
In 1956, the [[Fort Lee Air Force Station]] on post was selected for a [[Semi-Automatic Ground Environment|Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE)]] system direction center (DC) site, designated DC-04. The four-story [[block house]] was built to house two parallel [[AN/FSQ-7|AN/FSQ-7 Computer]]s that could receive inputs from sensors on the East Coast and provide actionable information on incoming Soviet air threats.

* On 1 December 1956 the [[4625th Air Defense Wing]] (SAGE) was activated. 
* On 8 January 1957 the 4625th was redesignated as the newly activated [[Washington Air Defense Sector]] at Fort Lee. 
* The WaADS was initially assigned to the [[85th Air Division]] but on 1 September 1958 it was transferred to the [[26th Air Division]]. 
* In February 1959 the new [[Semi Automatic Ground Environment]] (SAGE) Direction Center (DC-04) became operational and oversaw [[Washington Air Defense Sector]] operations.{{Coord|37|15|09|N|077|19|21|W|display=inline|name=WaADS-SAGE DC-04}}  The day-to-day operations of the command were to train and maintain tactical units flying jet [[interceptor aircraft]] ([[F-101 Voodoo]]; [[F-102 Delta Dagger]]; [[F-106 Delta Dart]]) or [[surface-to-air missile|interceptor missiles]] ([[CIM-10 Bomarc]]) in a state of [[combat readiness|readiness]] with training missions and series of [[military exercise|exercises]] with [[Strategic Air Command]] and other units simulating interceptions of incoming Soviet aircraft.

==== First permanent structures built ====
The 1950s and 1960s witnessed almost nonstop modernization efforts as, one-by-one, Fort Lee's temporary wooden barracks, training facilities and housing units began giving way to permanent brick and cinderblock structures. New multi-storied barracks were built in the mid-50s, along with whole communities of [[Capehart housing]] for permanent party. In May 1961, the new three-story [[Quartermaster Center and School|Quartermaster School]], [[Thomas Mifflin|Mifflin Hall]], was dedicated. [[Kenner Army Health Clinic|Kenner Army Hospital]] opened in 1962, replacing the remnants of the old WWII-era facility, and the privately funded [[U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum|Quartermaster Museum]] opened its doors in 1963. Some years have seen far more change than others, but the overall process of modernization has continued ever since.<ref name="auto1"/>

==== Locus for Quartermaster Training ====
The Quartermaster Training Center, created to supervise the training of Quartermaster personnel and troop units, brought an intensification of training activity within the Quartermaster Corps. As a result, the courses formerly taught at other locations were incorporated in the curriculum of the Quartermaster School.

Profound changes were evident at Fort Lee during 1962. The post became a Class 1 military installation under [[Second United States Army]]. The Quartermaster School became a part of the [[United States Army Forces Command|Continental Army Command]] service school system and was also selected to serve as the home of the Quartermaster Corps. The [[Second United States Army]] was inactivated at Fort Lee in 1966 until its reactivation at [[Fort Gillem]], Georgia in 1983.
