Fortifications were built on land from 1878 onwards. Gun batteries were installed at [[Fort Nepean]] in 1886 and Eagles Nest in 1888. Barracks were constructed at Fort Pearce. With the removal of coastal artillery after World War II, the facilities housed the Officer Cadet School (OCS) Portsea from 1951 to 1985 and later the School of Army Health until 1998. 3,544 officer cadets graduated as Army officers from OCS Portsea (including 30 RAAF officers and 688 foreign officers) with 20 graduates [[killed in action]] (KIA) overseas including Malaya, Borneo, South Vietnam, Cambodia and Philippines.
