- Joe_DThere was an M24 at the Brick Mess around the late 90's. It's the place we sometimes called the "Leaders Club" when I was there. It's real close to the CG's HQ building and behind the old theater there.
Here's where I saw her last in 1998.

- JWB2What a beautiful old structure. Now that Knox is almost abandoned what will come of it?

Although the Armor Center is leaving, the post is far from abandoned.
Actually (I think) the assigned population has increased.
I do know oppost traffic has increased.

Olive Theater is still there and a functional movie theater. I believe Wayburn is a briefing hall of some sort. No longer a functional movie theater.

This M24 may be the one located at the 'Chaffee Gate' (on Bullion Blvd)

So that just leaves the question of whether it's the same M24 now on Bullion Boulevard. Don's suggestion is persuasive, since that one appeared soon after the other the other one disappeared not far away. I have therefore rewritten the text in a way that I think is most appropriate - please comment if you disagree:
Unique ID 1306: Fort Knox Chaffee Gate (ex Leaders Club) M24
If anyone has any photo's of this vehicle since 1983 I'd love to add them.

As for the article,......'Rebranding' !?, thats revisionism at its worst.....
Yesterday while getting my new vehicle on-post registration sticker at the 'Welcome Center' at Chaffee Gate (aka Bullion Blvd entrance...) I noticed a sign,....."NO TOURING, FT KNOX IS A CLOSED POST!".
Sounds like they're not really interested in 'welcoming the neighbors' as is mentioned in the article. (!?)
