Dedicated in the late 1980s, itmemorializes the founder of the U.S. Army Signal Corps.While assigned as an assistant surgeon in theRegular Army of the United States, Dr. Albert J.Myer devised a military visual signaling system thatthe Army adopted in 1860. Dr. Myer became SignalOfficer of the subsequently created Signal Division,and received the rank of Major. On March 3, 1863,President Abraham Lincoln signed legislationmaking the Signal Corps a separate militarybranch. Major Myer became first Chief SignalDr. Albert J. MyerOfficer with the rank of Colonel. He would continueto lead the Signal Corps for two and a half decades. cxxiThe Myer Center roof features a DymaxionDeployment Unit (DDU). Richard BuckminsterFuller received a patent for these corrugatedmetal structures in 1944. The Signal Corpsbought 200 of them, and “seem to have beenFuller’s only significant customer.” Dozens ofthe units were used at Fort Monmouth andnearby Camp Evans for radar experimentation Dymaxion Deployment Unitand storage. The DDU at the Myer Center is the only “igloo” remainingon Fort Monmouth property, and is by all accounts extremely rare.Building 2704: Command and Control Directorate (C2D), CERDECBuilding 2705: PM Future Combat Systems (PM FCS)Building 2707-8: PEO C3T Administrative/Storage SpaceBuilding 2719-21:754th Explosives Ordinance Detachment (EOD)training areaBuilding 2900: Visitor CenterBuilding 2901-2:Guard ShelterBuilding 3001: Outreach Center (Howard Commons Area)Landmarks and Place Names at Fort Monmouth
