218th Leadership Regiment
The 218th Regiment is a training regiment located near the east end of Leesburg
Road on Fort Jackson (Leesburg Training Center). The regiment's mission is to serve
as a training center for Army National Guard and Army Reservists stationed in South
Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
The regiment also operates the Leesburg Training Center (LTC) and the
Clarks Hill Training Center (CHTS). LTC includes over 15,000 acres under license to the South
Carolina National Guard for weekend and annual unit training. A new academic and
dormitory complex costing $12.7 million is nearing completion at LTC. Another major
construction project at LTC is underway - a $3.2 million state of the art Battle
Simulation Center. CHTS is located in McCormick County on Lake Strom Thurmond, where
the South Carolina National Guard has about 1,200 acres under license. The regiment
provides peacetime command and control to two detachments that support LTC's operations
and maintenance.
