Learn moreThe Army Human Resources Command
Fort Knox hosts the real, current Army Human Resources Command -- the Army's Human Resources Center of Excellence -- a major administrative presence that has created a larger, more stable local population than a typical rotational-only military community.
The U.S. Bullion Depository
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's real United States Bullion Depository sits directly adjacent to Fort Knox, home to a large share of the nation's official gold reserves -- a genuine, distinctive fact, though administered separately from the Army installation and closed to visitors.

Radcliff's own economy relies substantially on nearby Elizabethtown's broader retail and healthcare base beyond the military installation itself.
