Fort Knox
encompasses 109,000 acres in three Kentucky counties, Bullitt,
Hardin, and Mead Counties and is located 35 miles south from
Louisville, and north of Elizabethtown. Fort Knox is a
certified Kentucky city. It is the sixth largest urban
community in the Commonwealth, with a day-time population of
about 33,000. Fort Knox is adjacent to the city of Radcliff,
15 miles north of Elizabethtown, and approximately 45 miles
south of Louisville. The surrounding communities house
hundreds of military retirees and active duty families. The
base operator's phone number is 502-624-1181 or DSN
312-464-1181.
History
Fort Knox is the home of the Army Armor Center and to the U.S.
Army Recruiting Command. It is also the site of the U.S.
Bullion Depository and the General George Patton Museum, both
located on or near the army post. The Armor Center and School
is the largest organization on Fort Knox and performs the
mission of training all armor Soldiers and Marines. The Army
Recruiting Command headquarters conducts the mission of
bringing men and women into the U.S. Army. Additionally, the
Eastern Region of the ROTC is headquartered at Fort Knox. The
Army Accessions Command has personnel on post and will
relocate the headquarters here as a result of the BRAC
decisions of 2005. Units located on Fort Knox are considered
"Partners in Excellence" and include active duty Army
organizations, Army Reserve, National Guard and the U.S.
Marine Corps.
Population Served
Fort Knox has a population of over 23,000 Soldiers, family
members and civilians.
Base Transportation
Currently, there is no public base transportation on the
installation.

Critical Installation Information
There is a mandatory Seat Belt Law in Kentucky and on Fort
Knox that includes passengers. There is also a requirement for
child restraint seats for children 40 inches and smaller. This
law is strictly enforced. It is the responsibility of the
soldier to provide a car seat that is in good and fully
functional condition. If you do not have a car seat, the ACS
Relocation Loan Closet may loan you a car seat with a set of
your orders.
You must register your privately owned weapon on post within
72 hours of arrival. Military Police are available 24 hours a
day to assist you with this process, call 502-624-2111/2112.
