Cole IKERS ambling along Whip-poor-Will Way Trail at the HPatuxent Research Refuge’s North Tract in Maryland skirt a large open field. Few realize this was once the parachute drop zone (DZ) of an elite U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) unit. Nor would they know the DZ is named in honor of a bona fide Vietnam War hero and fighter for veteran’s rights. Their hike may take them past a small plaque beside the trail. If curiosity impels them to approach and read the plaque, they will learn a little of the story of Capt. Dean K. Phillips. North Tract abuts and until 1991 formed the training area of Fort George G. Meade. Since its activation in 1917, Fort Meade has experienced several mission changes. It served as a training site for drafted and mobilized U.S. Army com- bat and support forces in both World Wars. The interwar Army tank corps was located there, and the fort processed USAR and Army National Guard (ARNG) units from sever- al states for the presidential call-up in support of Operation Desert Shield (1990). Fort Meade has also supported major Army administrative operations, notably the headquarters of the Second U.S. Army and later First U.S. Army. Since the end of the Cold War, the fort’s mission has again changed to focus on supporting information, intelligence, and cyber operations. Currently the major tenant organizations are the National Security Agency, Defense Media Activity, Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Courier Service, and the U.S.
