Missing land

I cannot account for the vast majority of land that is no longer part of the fort. A tiny amount was given to the mission. There was a trade between the Army and United States Forest Service in 1957, but that deal increased the size of the fort. My best guess is that the land was given to the Forest Service in another deal and incorporated into the Los Padres National Forest. -- Kjkolb 00:27, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to mention something. It is quite difficult to find this information online because of efforts in recent years to transfer some or all of the fort's land to the Forest Service or National Park Service. The efforts failed, for now, which should probably be incorporated into the article at some point. -- Kjkolb 01:14, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commanding Officer of US First Army In WW1

General Liggett was the commanding officer of The US First Army in WW1; nowhere does the article mention this though the Wikipedia article on Gen. Liggett does.

At first, the AEF commander, Gen. Pershing wore two hats, one as the commanding officer of the US First Army and also as the commanding officer of all US troops in Europe.

However, once there were enough men in France to form two full armies, Pershing then made Liggett the CO of the US First Army while Robert Bullard became CO of The US Second Army.Satchmo Sings (talk) 05:31, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO, there is no need, as the information is already available in the General Liggett biography article. All that really needs to be included here is that he is the the person the fort is named in honor off. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 08:31, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Size matters

This article says that this is the largest Command post for the Army Reserve. The Fort Bragg article says Army Reserve also has a Command Post there, and Bragg is bigger. So which is it?
