  State Summary

BRAC Summary:
– To facilitate the formation of a Multi-functional Aviation Brigade, an attack aviation battalion will relocate from Ft Campbell. Four Infantry BCTs, a Multi- Functional Aviation Brigade, a Sustainment Brigade, a UEx Headquarters, the 5th Special Forces Group and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment will remain at Ft Campbell. Based on the net impacts of Modular Force Transformation and BRAC related actions there will be a increase of approximately 300 Soldiers using FY03 as a baseline and FY11 as an end state.

– The Army intends to transform Ft Knox from an institutional training installation to a multi-functional installation that will be the home to Operational Army forces and various administrative headquarters. The relocation of the Armor Center and School is balanced by the activation of the Infantry BCT and the relocation of the units returning from overseas. Combined these FORSCOM-related units represent over 5,000 Soldiers and their families.

– Blue Grass Army Depot will gain a new importance as a DoW (formerly DoD) Munitions Center of Excellence. It becomes a focal point for one of the most critical aspects of Army combat capability -the ammunition on which our Soldiers depend.
