22 Jul 2025 12:43
Thousands of additional personnel and visitors will be in the Fort Knox area through August as part of Cadet Summer Training missions and activities.

Wilson Gate to be open for limited hours on weekday CST Family Day and graduation dates
22 Jul 2025 12:43
To help facilitate timely access for Cadet Summer Training (CST) visitors during major weekday events, Wilson Gate will temporarily be open for both inbound and outbound traffic from 6-10 a.m. on Family Day and graduation dates that occur during the workweek. This adjustment is in addition to normal operations at Chaffee (main) and Brandenburg gates and is specifically intended to ease congestion for the thousands of CST guests – many of whom may be unfamiliar with the procedures and timelines for entering a military installation and locating parking in the cantonment area. It is important to note that this is not a routine change. The temporary opening of Wilson Gate represents a surge effort that relies on additional support and coordination across multiple Fort Knox units and organizations. It is a targeted response to meet the unique access demands posed by high-traffic CST events, and is not a resource level that can be maintained on a regular basis. Dates Wilson Gate will have limited hours in support of CST Family Day and graduation events: • July 21, 25, 30, 31 • Aug. 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, 19, 20
