Wilson Gate closed indefinitely
02 Jul 2025 16:46
Wilson Gate will be closed to all inbound and outbound traffic indefinitely, starting July 4, due to resource constraints. We understand this may cause inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to manage our current resources effectively.

Dog park on Fort Knox to be closed indefinitely
25 Jun 2025 15:31
The dog park, located along 9th Cavalry Regiment Avenue, is scheduled to be closed effective 4 p.m. Friday, June 27 until further notice. We recognize that the dog park has served as a valued recreational space for some members of our community. However, we must also acknowledge that maintaining a dog park is not a requirement for Army installations, and Fort Knox does not receive dedicated funding for its upkeep. With growing constraints on manpower and resources, we are no longer able to sustain the level of maintenance required to ensure the park remains a safe, clean and healthy environment for pets. We appreciate the community’s understanding and support as we continue to evaluate how to best balance resources with the needs of the installation.
Transportation household goods (HHG) blackout dates until July 15
20 Jun 2025 18:37
Transportation HHG is currently in a “blackout” until July 15. This is due to limited transportation service providers (TSPs) and the Fort Knox area being saturated during peak season. For those needing to move during this time, please plan on either a personally procured move (PPM) or hiring a moving company. Those needing additional guidance should reach out to the Transportation Office at 502-624-2037.
Notice of increased security posture
18 Jun 2025 20:22
Those traveling to Fort Knox and other U.S. military installation may notice an enhanced security posture until further notice. This is in response to a U.S. Army North directive. There are no specific or credible threats against Fort Knox; however, additional security measures are being implemented to safeguard military communities. This change necessitates a pause on Fort Knox’s Trusted Traveler program. Additionally, please anticipate increases in wait times when entering the installation. Everyone’s patience, understanding and cooperation are appreciated as installation personnel work to maintain the safety and security of the Fort Knox community.
