(From right) Col. Brendan Gallagher, Fort Bliss garrison commander; U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar; Lt. Gen. David Wilson, deputy Army chief of staff, G-9 (Installations); and Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor, 1st Armored Division and Fort Bliss commanding general, formally open the Defense Department’s first 3D-printed barracks at Fort Bliss, Texas, Jan. 29, 2025. The facilities will initially house troops deploying to Fort Bliss in support of the installation’s Mobilization Force Generation Installation mission. Fort Bliss processes and trains approximately 70,000 service members annually, with support from Army Reserve and National Guard units that deploy to Fort Bliss for annual rotations. The new barracks at Fort Bliss can house up to 56 soldiers per building. The Pershing Heights facilities will be first used by the 382nd Military Police Detachment, an Army Reserve unit from Massachusetts, which will be heading to Fort Bliss in support of the MFGI mission.
