Fort Chaffee
Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center is an Army National Guard installation in northwest Arkansas, adjacent to the city of Fort Smith, and one mile (1.6 km) southeast of Fort Smith Regional Airport. The Arkansas River flows eastward along the northern border of the post and Interstate 40 is five miles (8 km) to the north on the opposite side of the river. Fort Chaffee is primarily used as a training facility by regional National Guard and Army Reserve units and active military units from other installations. Fort Chaffee is now under the control of the Arkansas Army National Guard; at this time, no active Regular Army units are permanently stationed at the post.

Famous quotes containing the word fort:
“The newspapers are the ruling power. Any other government is reduced to a few marines at Fort Independence. If a man neglects to read the Daily Times, government will go down on its knees to him, for this is the only treason these days.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
