History of Fort Campbell
The colorful heritage of Fort Campbell, Kentucky, dates from 1846.
In that year, Colonel William Bowen Camp- bell led his First Tennessee Volunteers, the "Bloody First," in the storming of Monterey. His rallying cry, "Boys, follow me!" led him to a generalship and later to the Tennessee State House.
On July 18, 1941, a site was selected for a military reservation on the Kentucky-Tennessee border between Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and Clarksville, Tennessee. Construction began on February 4, 1942, and within a year, Camp Campbell was a 101,700-acre training center, capable of accommodating two armored divi- sions and a variety of special troops.
The post's initial cadre, one officer and 19 enlisted men, arrived from Fort Knox, Ken-
tucky, in early summer 1942. From then until the end of World War II, Camp Campbell was the training ground for the 12th, 14th, and 20th Armored Corps and the 26th Infantry Division in succession.
The 11th Airborne Division arrived in 1949 following occupation duty in Japan. In April 1950, Camp Campbell became Fort Campbell, a permanent installation.
The 11th Airborne Division left for Germany in 1956. On September 21 of that year, Major General T. L. Sherburne received the colors of the 101st Airborne Division from Secretary of the Army, Wilbur M. Brucker and Army Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. The famed "Screaming Eagles" of World War II were thus reactivated, and Fort Campbell became their home.

TO THE NEW SOLDIER
This book is about you and your comrades in arms. It portrays your transition from civilian to soldier-a change which has been experi- enced by millions of other Americans before you. It marks your own successful entrance into the finest Army in the world and the continu- ation of an almost 200 year old American Army tradition of defending the freedom and the dignity of individuals.
Today, as in the past, our Army is only as good as its individual members. Your record thus far indicates that you are a worthy addition to the Army and that you will contribute to its proud traditions. As you progress with your Army career, apply and expand upon the knowledge and skills you have gained during these past few weeks of Basic Com- bat Training.
I hope that this Pictorial Review Book will bring forth many pleasant memories in the years to come, both in military and in civilian life, and that the future will be bright for each of you.

History of The Army Training Center
On May 2, 1966, Third United States Army General Order Number 161 directed the acti- vation of a Basic Combat Training Center at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. A post planning group was formed to pave the way for the of- ficial opening of the Army Training Center, and more than 500 World War II vintage build- ings were renovated to provide training and living facilities for the trainees.
The cadre of the Army Training Center be- gan arriving in June and the organizational phase went into full swing on an accelerated basis. On July 6, barely two months after its initial activation, Fort Campbell's Army Train- ing Center received its first 220 newly-inducted soldiers, all of whom had processed through the Reception Station at Fort Benning, Georgia. Basic combat training began on schedule on July 11 with a full complement of 1,100, and
the Training Center became fully operational.
The United States Army Reception Station at Fort Campbell was officially opened on Au- gust 8. The station is capable of receiving, pro- cessing, and assigning 1,100 receptees each week. Most of these receptees receive basic combat training at Fort Campbell.
On September 1, more than 1,000 members of the 1st Training Battalion, Ist Training Brigade, assembled in the first graduation cere- monies held at the Army Training Center. Weekly graduations have occurred since then.
Thus, only four months after its inception, the United States Army Training Center at Fort Campbell has grown to a facility with an au- thorized cadre strength of 330 officers, 2,165 enlisted men and 34 civilians, capable of gradu- ating 1,100 soldiers every week.
