Fort Bliss, Texas Military Lawyers
With a name that belies the business conducted here, Fort Bliss (named after math professor and LTC William Bliss) is the home of America’s Tank Division. Dangerous stuff happens here, in the El Paso corner of Texas and spanning into New Mexico. And if one should forget that missile and artillery training and testing goes on in this vast 1,700-square-mile tract, the Fort Bliss website provides a timely reminder: “Military munitions are dangerous and may be encountered in areas currently or formerly used for military training or testing. Don’t forget the 3Rs of explosives safety — Recognize, Retreat, and Report.”
