Fort Leavenworth United States Army facility

Fort Leavenworth http://www.shanagrant.com/gallery5.html

Fort Leavenworth is a United States Army facility located in Leavenworth County, Kansas (just north of the city of Leavenworth) in
the upper northeast portion of the state. It is the oldest active U.S. Army post west of the Missouri River, in operation for over
170 years. Fort Leavenworth has been historically known as the "Intellectual Center of the Army."

During the country's westward expansion, Fort Leavenworth was a forward destination for thousands of soldiers, surveyors, immigrants,
American Indians, preachers and settlers who passed through. The garrison supports the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC)
by managing and maintaining the home of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center (CAC). CAC's mission involves leader development, collective
training, Army doctrine and battle command (current and future).
