22 Oct 2025 20:25
The Fort Knox Garrison Leadership Team and Safety Office urge the use of reflective attire when conducting physical fitness or other outdoor activities during hours of darkness or restricted visibility, such as at dawn or dusk low visibility. Additionally, personnel using Fort Knox range and training area complex roads for physical readiness activities are reminded to read, understand and follow Fort Knox Policy No. 16 – “Use of Range and Training Area Complex Roads for Physical Readiness Activities (Cycling, Running, and Ruck Marching). This safety policy extends beyond military personnel to include all individuals. The policy can be viewed at the below link. Adherence to this policy is essential for the safety of all personnel and for maintaining access to the training area road network. Requirements include, but are not limited to, wearing high-visibility clothing or reflective gear during all physical training activities. The safety of our community members is paramount! Those with questions should contact their unit leadership or the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security (DPTMS) at 502-624-3681.
