ModSpace recently completed the installation of 199 custom buildings in just 142 days at Fort Stewart, Ga., home to the U.S. Army's 4th Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized).

The Fort Stewart complex is believed to be one of the largest such projects in the history of the modular industry. It includes 467 separate units, joined to form structures for barracks, offices, supply rooms and laundry facilities. The barracks house more than 800 troops.

"Modular" is not only a type of construction, it also defines the new and more effective type of fighting force the Army has initiated this year. Individual Army units with special abilities, but sometimes from far-flung bases, are identified by commanders, and brought together at a single site for specialized joint training for a specific mission.

The quick installation of the new facilities at Fort Stewart has helped the Army get what it calls its "Modularity" concept underway, in a timely and realistic fashion -- particularly urgent when forces are being deployed to fight the Global War on Terrorism.
