If you have concerns about your Soldier’s well-being, you may contact your local Red Cross chapter and ask for a “welfare check.” This may result in the Soldier’s commander being contacted by the Red Cross to ascertain the Soldier’s well-being.

The property line of Fort Campbell does not end at the brick wall along Fort Campbell Blvd., also known as state road 41A, in either Tennessee or Kentucky as some people think.

Pursuant to Article One, Section Eight, Clause Seventeen of the U.S. Constitution; Chapter 110, the Public Acts of Tennessee for 1895 and subsequent Fort Campbell filings made on January 19, 1943 (Montgomery County Minute Book 49, page 57); and Kentucky Revised Statues, Chapter 173, the jurisdictional boundaries of Fort Campbell extend to the center of the median along said route. This means the west side of the road (traveling south toward Clarksville from the installation’s northern border in Oak Grove, Kentucky) is Fort Campbell property, which makes activity there subject to federal and military restrictions/regulations.

Additionally, U.S. Code Title 18 Part I Chapter 37 Section 795 states photographing and/or sketching defense installations and equipment is prohibited without the consent of the base commander. The information can be found at https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/795.

Though established federal property, in cases such as traffic mishaps and/or violations along the route in question, military police can defer to civilian authority for response, which is usually easier for those involved to deal with or resolve. When MPs become involved, cases go to Federal Magistrate’s Court for resolution. As operational security is a priority for the installation, military law enforcement personnel will respond to real and perceived threats, as well as observed infractions of established regulations and laws.

The Community Relations section also responds to noise and training abatement issues. If you have concerns about low flying aircraft or other maneuver issues, you may call (270) 461-1277or (270) 798-4365.You may also find the information to file a noise complaint by visiting the Community Relations page.
