Road Trip: Fort Wainwright, Alaska

Fort Wainwright is a United States Army post adjacent to Fairbanks in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is part of the Fairbanks, Alaska Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Fort Wainwright is the home of the United States Army Garrison and units of the United States Army Alaska (USARAK) including the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, also known as the 1-25th SBCT; the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade (Alaska) and the Medical Department Activity-Alaska.

Fort Wainwright's mission is to deploy combat ready forces to support joint military operations worldwide and serve as the Joint Force Land Component Command to support Joint Task Force Alaska.

Their strategic location, superior training capabilities and dynamic relationship with the local civilian communities make Fort Wainwright and the United States Army in Alaska a significant national asset and world-class power projection platform for military operations anywhere in the world.

The post is also home to Task Force 49, a brigade-size aviation unit with CH-47 Chinooks, UH-60 Black Hawks and OH-58 Kiowas, as well as support personnel. Today’s units include infantry, field artillery, engineer, logistical support and medical personnel. When a tactical unit is called upon to deploy, the support faction activates immediately to make the deployment fast, safe and efficient.
