Fort Campbell, KYFort Campbell, KY 42223 | Post Operator: DSN: 635-2151, (270) 798-2151 Fort Campbell: OverviewFort Campbell is proud to be the home of the 101st Airborne Division, which is also known as the “Screaming Eagles.” Some of the other units that the installation hosts include the 101st Aviation Brigade, the 159th Aviation Brigade, and the 101st Sustainment Brigade. Collectively, the mission is to maintain the combat readiness of the troops stationed at Fort Campbell so that they will be able to deploy at a moment’s notice and effectively neutralize any threat across the globe. The construction of Camp Campbell, as it was known at that time, began shortly before the entrance of the United States into WWII and finished in 1942. Upon completion, the post supported one armored division and a number of various infantry and support units. For the remainder of the war, Camp Campbell mainly became a training installation for armored divisions. In 1949, the 11th Airborne Division moved to Camp Campbell and remained there until 1956. During that timeframe, the installation became a permanent post and renamed Fort Campbell. In late 1956, the 101st Airborne Division became the new entity to occupy Fort Campbell. From that point forward, the famous “Screaming Eagles” have been deployed from this post to defend our country. Having such an effective fighting force at its disposal provides the Army with a tremendous capability, which helps to counter the threats our nation faces today.
