Where Heroes Train and Legends Are Born!
Fort Carson was established in 1942, following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The city of Colorado Springs purchased land south of the city and donated it to the War Department. Construction began immediately and the first building, the camp headquarters, was completed Jan. 31, 1942. Camp Carson was named in honor of the legendary Army scout, Gen. Christopher "Kit" Carson, who explored much of the West in the 1800s.
Camp Carson became "Fort Carson" in 1954. In the 1960s, mechanized units were assigned to the Mountain Post. At this time additional training land was purchased, bringing the post to its current size of 140,000 acres. Throughout its history Fort Carson has been home to nine divisions. An additional training area, comprising 237,000 acres, was purchased in September 1983. Named the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site, this training area is located approximately 150 miles to the southeast and is used for large force-on-force maneuver training. Comprehensive maneuver and live fire training also occurs down range at Fort Carson
Our Mission is to enable Army readiness in support of U.S. and serve as the strategic support area and base of operations where Soldiers, Families, civilian employees and retirees train, work, live and thrive!
Our Vision is to be the premier installation in the Army, enabling world-class training and rapid deployment of ready forces, while maximizing the quality of life of our installation community. We take care of our people with our commitment to innovating, modernizing, and strengthening installation readiness and resilience, and by being good stewards of our resources, through strong partnerships and effective communication. We are Mountain Post READY.
