Fort Campbell Army Post straddles the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. The post is named in honor of William Bowen Campbell, a former Tennessee Governor who served as a Union General in the Civil War. Fort Campbell was originally established (in 1942) as a war-time armor training and mobilization camp during WWII and became a permanent installation in 1950. From 1948 to 1965, the post was also home to Clarksville Base, a top-secret nuclear weapons storage and modification facility. Over the years, Fort Campbell has been home to several airborne, armored and infantry units and has grown to become one of the Army’s most important permanent installations.
Fort Campbell has been the home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), the only Air Assault division in the world, since 1956. Two prestigious Special Operations Command units, the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), have also been at Fort Campbell since the mid-1980s. In 2009, the 52nd Ordnance Group (EOD) relocated to Fort Campbell (from Fort Gilliam, GA) as part of 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) stationing actions.
Throughout its history, Fort Campbell has supported the training and deployment of front-line Army units involved in the nation’s wars, beginning with World War II through Vietnam and Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and up to the current Overseas Contingency Operations. Since 2002, Fort Campbell units have been among the most deployed combat units in the Army.
