This was labeled "Army car and escort" I do not know why that was needed. (my dad was not in the Army) Maybe the fort was under the jurisdiction of the US Army in 1958. The fort was an actually army fort until 1961. When the army left in 61 the property was given to the National Park Service. See the NPS time line below.
