Fort Oglethorpe, Military base and heritage site in Catoosa County, Georgia, US.
Fort Oglethorpe extends over 13.9 square miles of land adjacent to the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park in western Georgia.
The United States Army established the cavalry post in 1902, which later served as a detention center during World War I and a Women's Army Corps facility in World War II.
The Southeast Veterans Museum and History Company maintain collections of military artifacts and documents that chronicle the fort's extensive involvement in both World Wars.
