Fort Leonard Wood is on 100 square miles of rugged Ozark wilderness. With the addition of the Military Police and Chemical schools to the Army Engineer School, Fort Leonard Wood became the Maneuver Support Center for the Army. Now that the two new schools are in place, the Fort is projected to have a nearly $600,000,000 impact on the region.

Throughout its growth, Fort Leonard Wood's soldiers and their family members have enjoyed an outstanding quality of life. Children attend a top-ranked school district and activities on post are plentiful. The new multi-million dollar Davidson Fitness Center and new Child Development Center, along with a superb hospital and many other facilities and amenities, make Fort Leonard Wood a premier Army installation.
