REGARDING STAFF SERGEANT RAYMOND GIROUARD'S GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL ABOARD THE FORT CAMPBELL ARMY POST:



DRIVING DIRECTIONS:


>From US41A, enter FORT CAMPBELL thru Gate 4 (Main Gate) and stop at the Visitors Center to obtain a visitor’s vehicle registration certificate. Request that the vehicle registration be made effective (dated valid) for an eight or nine day pass (depending on which day you get your pass (see below); the expected length of the trial is eight days). This allows you to pass through the gate freely for the expected duration of the hearing. To register your vehicle on the first day you will need:
  • A valid drivers license (photo identification).
  • Proof of insurance.
  • Current vehicle registration
Your vehicle will be searched.

The registration/search process will take from 15 to 20 minutes, longer if there's a crowd.


Once registered, continue on Screaming Eagle Blvd/26th Street, thru two stop lights, to the 3-way stop sign at the corner of 26th and Tennessee Avenue (veer to the right as when Screaming Eagle Blvd splits).

Turn right onto Tennessee Avenue. Your turn is marked by the Fort's Museum, a large brown metal building with Don F. Pratt Memorial Museum painted on the front.

After turning right turn onto Tennessee, you'll see the "court-house" down the road about a block, to your left. It's clearly recognized by four white pillars in front and a brown sign. Parking is across the street from the court house, to your right.



PLANNING NOTES:

  • The court-martial is scheduled to begin at 0900 hours, Tuesday 13 March 2007 and run to Wednesday, 21 March 2007. It can and probably will have weekend sessions (Saturday and possibly Sunday).
  • Seating is limited. First come, first served.
  • Family members, friends, and other visitors who wish to attend the court-martial should contact Counselor Anita Gorecki (lead prosecutor) who can provide advance notice to Master Sergeant Webster to avoid delay or denial of access to Fort Campbell.
    • Counselor Gorecki's office phone: 910.860.5472
    • Counselor Gorecki's Email: lawyers@defendingsoldiers.com
    • Media representatives contact Master Sergeant Webster -- Family, friends, visitors contact Counselor Gorecki.
  • Arrive as early as you can each day. Registering your vehicle on Monday 12 March 2007, after peak rush hour (0730 - 0830) at Gate 4 (the Visitor's Center) is a good plan.
  • Peak rush hour at Gate 4 is 0730-0830 (repeated for emphasis).
  • Bring lunch/snacks/drinks. There's a Burger King on Post, however, the place is packed to capacity with soldiers every day. There's nothing "fast" about getting your food.
