// Strategic Significance
Fort Campbell straddles the Kentucky-Tennessee border and is home to the 101st Airborne Division — the only air assault division in the world capable of rapidly inserting large forces by helicopter anywhere on the globe. The 101st is one of the most deployed divisions in the Army and its rapid deployment capability makes Fort Campbell one of the most operationally important bases in the US. The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment Night Stalkers is also based here.
// Civilian Impact Assessment
Clarksville Tennessee and Hopkinsville Kentucky are the primary civilian communities surrounding Fort Campbell. The base straddles two states creating multi-jurisdictional emergency coordination requirements. Major deployments of the 101st create visible and immediate economic impacts on the surrounding communities. Cumberland River flooding affects both base and civilian infrastructure.
// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
Clarksville and Hopkinsville emergency management coordinate with Fort Campbell on multi-hazard planning. Cumberland River flooding is the primary natural disaster risk for the region. During major 101st Airborne deployments civilian traffic on surrounding roads may be significantly impacted by military convoy movements. Monitor Tennessee and Kentucky emergency management broadcasts.
