FORT CAMPBELL

One of the key factors in Clarksville's growth is the relationship which it has with adjoining Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), 5th Special Forces Group and 101st Corps Support Group. The 101st Airborne Division is one of the most powerful and prestigious divisions, having made a name for itself during World War II as the Screaming Eagles in Bastogne, Market Garden, Holland. Today, the highly trained soldiers of the 101st are the world's only Air Assualt Division. The 101st participates in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions at home and abroad.

Over 30,000 soldiers and 55,000 family members call Fort Campbell home. The installation manages the records of some 4,000 civilians, with approximately $2.5 billion per year, making it the largest employer in both Tennessee and Kentucky.
