This summer, thousands of additional personnel and visitors will be in the Fort Knox area as part of Cadet Summer Training (CST) missions and activities. During the Army’s largest Annual Training Exercise, the post population grows by more than 14,000. As such, higher traffic volume is anticipated, especially on days when CST Family Days and Graduation ceremonies are hosted. Everyone is asked to exercise patience and plan accordingly for longer-than-normal wait times at the entrance gates. 

CST graduations are open to the public for attendance and are held at Brooks Field. In the event of inclement weather, ceremonies will be held at Natcher Gym. Additionally, all graduation ceremonies will be live-streamed on the ArmyROTC Facebook page and @ArmyROTC YouTube channel.

Everyone coming to Fort Knox for graduation will need either a valid military ID or a Visitor’s Pass. Visitors to Fort Knox without a valid military ID can pre-register for a 5-Day FastPASS or visit the Visitor Center to obtain a Visitor’s Pass. All adults (18+) must possess a valid ID.
