Road Trip: Fort Knox, Kentucky

Fort Knox is a United States Army post in Kentucky south of Louisville and north of Elizabethtown. The 109,000 acre base covers parts of Bullitt, Hardin, and Meade counties. It currently holds the Army human resources Center of Excellence to include the Army Human Resources Command, United States Army Cadet Command and the United States Army Accessions Command.

The most recent era of transformation at Fort Knox began in 2005 with the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission. The Armor Center and School relocated to Fort Benning to merge with the Infantry Center and form the Maneuver Center of Excellence. In addition, the Armor School relocated to Fort Benning and, as with the Infantry School, is subordinate to the MCoE.

Relocated to Fort Knox were the Human Resources Command, Army Accessions Command and Cadet Command to join Recruiting Command information of the Human Resource Center of Excellence.

In May 2010, The Human Resource Center of Excellence, the largest office building in the state, opened at Fort Knox. The new center employs nearly 4,300 soldiers and civilians.

Fort Knox is one of only three Army posts (the others being Fort Campbell, Kentucky and Fort Sam Houston, Texas) that still have a high school located on-post. Fort Knox High School, serving grades 9–12, was built in 1958 and has undergone only a handful of renovations since then.

The Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor was established in 1949 to preserve historical artifacts and archival materials relating to Mechanized Cavalry and Armor and General George S. Patton Jr.   It is one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of armored vehicles spanning 1917 to the present and has the finest collection of Patton artifacts in the world.

There are static displays of various tanks, other armor and a few helicopters. The museum also includes a number of Patton's personal effects, dating from the World War II, including his office van and touring car.

I was there in winter of 1969-1970 for basic training. When did personnel become human resources? And why?

Hi Everybody!

Went to the County Fair this evening to see a fellow musician perform.

Ate Junk Food, drank beer, and patted livestock.

The horses and ponies were especially nice! Those 4H kids are great!

Growing up in the inner city, it was quite an interesting experience LOL!

Lynn-Dah stayed home.

Learn the art of horseback riding. I rode every weekend from 1987 to 1992. Horses were some of the sanest people I knew.

[TADSLOS]

When did personnel become human resources? And why?

When the Army went full tilt corporate. It's much easier to insert and manipulate social engineering in the organization when you change the language.

Howdy, PRO!

Have a good day? Has it cooled off enough to be able to enjoy getting outside or did you stay in and eat more popsicles? :-)

I do love to ride...every chance I get.

I really love horses.

In the city of Boston, the police horses were stabled near where I lived. My friend and I used to sneak into the stables with apples and carrots. We thought we were very clever. (We were about 12 or 13 at the time)

I am sure that the police knew we were there, but ignored us.

Those were different times!

Good evening, Pro...any respite from the heat?

It’s been raining here most of the day. And the guy on the radio said it is raining in most of the state. This is a good thing as there have been 100s of fires so far this summer. Hopefully this will put them all out.

Howdy, LUV.

I see you survived another “early bird” day. You weren’t a grumpypuss at work, were ya? :-)

[Publius]

Years ago, I worked with a mare that was a brilliant trail horse. She knew just how good she was, and she was arrogant about it. You could go up or down some of the most treacherous trails in the Santa Monica Mountains, and you were as safe as if you were in your mother's arms.

But if you took the fork in the road that led to the ring, you could see her shoulders slump. "Aw Wilbur, do we have to do that?" she would have said.
