Road Trip: Fort Hood, Texas

Fort Hood is the Army's installation to train and deploy heavy forces. A 214,968-acre installation, Fort Hood is the only post in the United States capable of stationing and training two armored divisions.

The post is the headquarters of III Armored Corps and First Army Division West and is home to the 1st Cavalry Division and 3rd Cavalry Regiment, among others.

Fort Hood consists of three sections: the main cantonment, West Fort Hood, and North Fort Hood. The main cantonment is bounded by Killeen on the east and Copperas Cove on the west. The Fort Hood main cantonment area, otherwise referred to as Main post, holds its own airfield, Hood Army Airfield.

North Fort Hood is bounded by Gatesville to the northwest. West Fort Hood, bounded by Killeen and Copperas Cove, includes Fort Hood's second airfield, Robert Gray Army Airfield, which has been expanded for civilian use (Killeen–Fort Hood Regional Airport (GRK) and additional training areas. To the east and southeast, the reservation is bounded by Harker Heights, Nolanville, Belton, and Morgan's Point Resort.

It is one of the U.S. Army installations named for Confederate soldiers to be renamed by the Commission on the Naming of Items of the Department of Defense that Commemorate the Confederate States of America or Any Person Who Served Voluntarily with the Confederate States of America.

On 24 May 2022 the commission recommended the fort be renamed to Fort Cavazos, named after Gen. Richard E. Cavazos, a native Texan and the US Army’s first Hispanic four-star general.

*HUGS*

[radu]

Howdy, lauren. *Hugz*

I was beginning to wonder if I’d get here this evening. I think my ‘puter caught whatever bug has been ailing Kathy’s lately. LOL Not behaving very well this evening.

I hope you’re doing well.

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening robowombat, thanks for joining us this evening.

[laurenmarlowe]

Howdy radu!

Computer woes are no fun at all.

Neither are clogged water pipes, which is what I have been dealing with for a week. But, plumber came today and fixed everything.

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!

Glad you made it and I hope your bug goes away very soon dear one!

*HUGS*

[radu]

UGH! I’ll take ‘puter pains over clogged pipes any day! Glad the plumber finally showed up and you have water again. A week’s a long time to go without water!

I rebooted the modem, since that’s worked before when this issue happened, and things seem to be working now. We’ll see how long it lasts. *fingers crossed*

[luvie]

What a great road trip, Lauren!
Thanks for your hard work!
Ft. Hood is HUUUUUGE!
We must have been close to it
.... at the gun range near Gatesville.
All you Night Owls have a Terrific Tuesday!
((((hugs))))

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Hope you had a good day today. Looks like it’s darn cold!

It was even windier today than it was a couple of days ago. Nasty. We’re “supposed” to have a high chance of rain tomorrow, but I’m not confident that it will happen.

I hope so.
