The Joint Base Langley-Eustis community was invited to Jacob’s Conference Center on Fort Eustis to attend the “State of the Fort” address by U.S. Army Col. Jenn Walkawicz, 733rd Mission Support Group commander, Oct. 8, 2019.

The JBLE State of the Fort addressed the history of Fort Eustis, reviewed 2019’s accomplishments and highlighted the future of what’s ahead.

“Our mission here at the 733rd MSG is to provide proactive and timely installation support to mission partners, enabling those units to respond to any known or emergent operational requirement,” Walkawicz said. “Simultaneously, we look to optimize delivery of installation services with a focus on fiscal responsibility, environmental stewardship and a holistic approach to health and fitness.”

According to Walkawicz, Fort Eustis has units from every major Army Command, four Combatant Commands, the Joint Staff and two Interagency Partners along with many other direct reports and field agencies.

With the new fiscal year right around the corner, Fort Eustis is looking to provide improvements to make U.S. Army Soldiers and their families’ lives better on the installation.

Some of the projects that will be started or completed in 2020 include:

• The Advanced Individual Training Barracks Phase IV
