The United States Army Reserve Center, located on Knox Road, just east of Greensboro, opened on May 19th 2017. The 85 thousand square foot, $16 million dollar facility was built this past spring on 15.5 acres. It is a consolidation of facilities in Greensboro and Winston Salem. The facility houses five units and over 600 soldiers. Throughout the United States, there are nearly 200,000 U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers, an Active Duty Army of nearly half a million and 341, 589 members of the National Guard, making the total strength of the U.S. Army of over a million soldiers.*
The McCleansville training facility has up-to-date technology and plenty of space for soldiers to receive training in logistics as well as in combat support hospital medical training. The site also offers storage and plenty of parking for military vehicles used in maneuvers. We're not sure if they give tours, and can't find any updates, as most available information was published before the facility opened. However, when you drive by, you will see a nice facility and, especially on weekends when soldiers are coming and going, you see your tax dollars hard at work.

I've featured a navy reserve station here once. Our military has the reserve system as well through the services. I like the look of this building.
