Fort Monmouth's history can be traced back to the establishment of the Signal Corps training facility in Little Silver in 1917. The installation gained permanent status in 1925 and was named Fort Monmouth in honor of the soldiers of the American Revolution who died in the battle of Monmouth Court House. Fort Monmouth served as the home of the Signal Corps Laboratories and later the Signal Corps Center consolidating several Signal Corps functions at Fort Monmouth. The Electronics Command ECOM was established at Fort Monmouth in 1962 and managed signal research development and logistics support. ECOM was later fragmented into three Commands and one Activity at Fort Monmouth until being combined as the new Communications-Electronics Command CECOM effective May 1 1981.
