ATMF supplements resources from the Center for Military History for daily operations and is the main source of funding for capital improvements for the Army Transportation Museum at Ft. Today's Army Transporters face a growing threat to the Nation, to the Corps, and to our historical legacy but the power of connection to the past can inform the present and the future. The Army Transportation Museu
m offers a unique touchpoint for Army and Community Leaders to train, educate, and build that connection through keeping Army Transportation history alive and available to all. Its first quarters were an unheated warehouse and a half-acre that combined displays and parking. The Foundation was established and built a museum building in 1976. The warehouse was demolished to accommodate expansion and for more outside displays. The Foundation built the aviation pavilion in 1987, and aircraft were added. In 1993, the cargo yard and trucks were added. In 1999, the old WW II warehouse was demolished, and new warehouse faculties were assigned. Today the museum sits on over 5 acres of land with a 45,000 square foot museum, a 25,000 square foot aviation pavilion, a 16,500 square foot truck pavilion, an outside marine park, and a rail yard covered by a 45,000 square foot pavilion. The museum has a historical display a Fort Leonard Wood to educate 88M (truck driver) Advanced Individual Training (AIT) students and a pavilion at Fort Gregg-Adams to educate the Transportation personnel and students there. The Foundation has been an essential part of each expansion effort, enabling an enriched Transportation Museum experience. Vision
Our vision is that Army Transportation heritage is communicated to the Soldiers, family members and the public as an integral part of the American story and that preservation and educating the public on its history is essential to promote a vibrant and healthy Transportation Corps. Mission
The Foundation's mission is to build recognition and support for the extraordinary and dynamic value of the U.S. Army Transportation Museum and to assist the museum in preservation and education of the public through raising and providing funds for Museum capital improvement projects.
