Fort Gulick, situated on the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal, was a prominent U.S. Army base that played a role in Cold War-era training and defense. Today, it is part of the Panama Canal Zone's historical sites, where visitors can see former barracks, parade grounds, and other military infrastructure. The site is known for its connection to the School of the Americas, which trained Latin American military personnel. Exploring Fort Gulick offers insight into the U.S. military presence in Panama and its impact on regional history. The area is now partly used for educational and community purposes.
