ENVIROMENTAL RECREATION 

Patrons wishing to participate in environmental recreation on Fort Campbell will need to follow these steps to acquire the appropriate permits and validations:

INSTALLATION ACCESS: 

Fort Campbell’s primary mission is to support military training. Access is controlled and subject to change based on security requirements.  Patrons are responsible for ensuring they meet the requirements for access to the installation. Individuals that do not have a valid DoD ID Card (i.e. Non-Affiliated Civilians) must complete a criminal background check annually. Specific directions for completing a background check will be described in step two.

BACKGROUND CHECK:

Background checks are not required for individuals possessing a military ID or CAC Card. A background check is required for Non-Affiliated Civilians. Non-Affiliated Civilians wanting to participation in environmental recreation should fill out FC Form 190-5 to complete the background check. All completed background check forms should be submitted via email to usarmy.campbell.imcom-atlantic.mbx.des-access-control@army.mil
