About this product

Product Information

Located in north-central Kentucky, Fort Knox is one of the army's major installations and is home to several commands, including the United States Army School and Center and the United States Army Recruiting Command. The fort's history dates to 1903, when a series of military maneuvers was held by the United States Army in West Point, Kentucky. When World War I required the establishment of additional military training facilities, Camp Knox was created. The post closed as a permanent installation in 1922, but it remained an active training center for army programs and, briefly, a national forest. On January 1, 1932, Camp Knox was made a permanent installation again and has since been known as Fort Knox. In 1940, the Armored Force was established, paving the way for the continuing evolution of armed warfare. The United States Bullion Depository chose its location because of its proximity to this post.

  • The US Army at Fort Knox by Matthew Rector

    This book is interesting but left much out. Specifically, I would have enjoyed more information on the 50's - 60's when the base grew so large during the Viet Nam era. It was truly a small city. The dependents and schools were virtually ignored. Patton Museum (when it really was a great museum) was ignored also. The editing was horrible with many mistakes. As a general overview of the military history with a few vintage photos; this is OK. I really had hoped for more candid photos of life around Fort Knox, quarters, dependents, schools, Those beautiful old officers' quarters etc.....

  • lightweight can be read in most places.

    It is a good book for Army History readers.
