A History of Fort Campbell

Más información sobre el libro

The evolution of Fort Campbell reflects its adaptation to shifting national security demands over seventy-five years, transitioning from the Tennessee-Kentucky Armor Camp established before Pearl Harbor to a premier base for elite air assault and airborne units. As the largest employer in the region, it significantly boosts the local economy with $2.6 billion annually. John O'Brien, a post historian, chronicles this transformation, highlighting the fort's journey from a "Giant Bachelor City" to a "World-Class Army Home."
