Fort Carson is the Department of Defense’s choice, innovative and second largest Army installation. The main installation is located in central Colorado, bordering the city of Colorado Springs to the north and extends thirty miles to the south. Pinon Canyon, Army’s second largest tactical training area that is satellite to Ft Carson, is approximately 150 miles south of Fort Carson near Trinidad Colorado. Our jurisdiction covers 630 sq. miles (402,000 acres). The installation serves a population of over 100,000 people. Fort Carson is the home to the 4th Infantry Division, 10th Special Forces, and a host of other military elements. The installation’s main urban area consists of shops, malls, restaurants, schools, daycare facilities, administrative buildings, motor pool maintenance facilities, a hospital, family residential neighborhoods, and troop dormitories. The rural areas include one main airfield; two satellite airfields and a vast landscape of special tactical and live ordinance military training areas.
