Fort Knox Newcomer & Visitor Info

Welcome to Fort Knox!

At Fort Knox, we are about people - great Soldiers, outstanding civilians, and wonderful families that form a bond to provide for the nation's defense. Our on-post residents and off-post neighbors share equally in this task. And because of the great support this installation has received from its surrounding communities throughout the years, we've become one of the premier training centers in the world. We're a team leading the Army into the 21st century by developing cutting edge technology which enhances training, readiness, and the nation's warfighting capabilities.
