Funds secured for fort’s CECOM improvements

U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-6th District) and Rush Holt (D-12th District) have secured $1 million for a major overhaul of Fort Monmouth’s Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM), Eatontown. The funds will go toward strengthening information security and safeguarding information from enemy penetration.

Additionally, the upgrade will cut costs by integrating communications into a more cohesive highway and creating a more efficient system than that in use today. According to the lawmakers, much of CECOM’s telecommunications infrastructure is World War II-vintage, and the entire post needs to be upgraded. The modernization project began last year.
