ABOUT THE INSTALLATION: 

Fort Hood is the Army's premier installation to train and deploy heavy forces. A 214,968-acre installation, this is the only post in the United States capable of stationing and training two armored divisions. The rolling, semi-arid terrain is ideal for multifaceted training and testing of military units and those assigned to them. Additionally, the Killeen, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Belton, Gatesville, Temple and Lampasas communities that surround us are a model of support for Army Families.  One look is all it takes to discover how we earned our famous nickname, "The Great Place."
