Navy Supply Corps School (Athens, Georgia)
NSCS Seal

New Supply Corps junior officers attend the Navy Supply Corps School (Athens, Georgia) (NSCS) in Athens, Georgia.

NSCS occupies a 58 acres (23 ha) campus with a lengthy history. The site had been used as a school since the 1860s, first for the University of Georgia's University High School, then as a Confederate military school, and at the end of the U.S. Civil War, a federal garrison. In 1866, the site housed a school for disabled young Confederate veterans, which existed with state support for two years; then as a state normal school.

The Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission of 2005 decreed that NSCS will be closed here and re-located to Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island in 2011.

In January 2010 the school's commander, Captain John Titus Jr., 45, was relieved of command by the head of Naval Education and Training Command, Rear Admiral Joseph Kilkenny, because of a "lack of confidence in his [Titus'] ability to lead." The relief followed a Judge Advocate General investigation.[1]
