Fort Campbell, KY – On July 28th, 2026, the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and United States Army Corps of Engineers (Louisville District) kicked off a 3-day planning conference to select the future development site for a new hangar on Campbell Army Airfield, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. “This is the cornerstone for the Fort Campbell modernization plan,” said Col. James Snowden, commander of United States Army Garrison- Fort Campbell. Over 40 Department of Public Works planners, USACE engineers, Fort Campbell airfield managers, Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) representatives, 101st Airborne Division (AA) G32 personnel, 101st Airborne Division (AA) Engineer members, the 101st Airborne Division (AA) Garrison command team, and 101st Combat Aviation Brigade staffers gathered to gain a deeper understanding of operational requirements to select the optimal location for the new hangar. 101st Airborne Division (AA) aviators look forward to the future, as hangars originally built in 1947 to park Bell UH-1 Iroquois “Huey” helicopters will be upgraded to house MV-75s. “This is not only different from all other CABs but provides us with more heavy lift and long-range lift capability only found at the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).”
