原文:

The V Corps HQ will be permanently based at Fort Knox, Kentucky and will consist of about 600 soldiers and leaders who will rotate to Europe on a continuous basis in roughly company-sized elements to form an ‘operational rotational command post.’

The Army is conducted a comprehensive analysis to determine the most suitable location for the headquarters. Fort Knox met the criteria needed.

The Army looked at installations across the service, but chose Knox because of features such as its network infrastructure and transportation proximity as well as its availability of schools, services and other resources needed for soldiers and their families.

中譯:

第5軍指揮部將常設在肯塔基州的諾克斯堡,由約莫600名官兵組成,並以一個連大小的兵力採作戰輪調指揮所形式,持續輪調歐洲。

陸軍為選定最適合第5軍指揮部的地點進行了全面分析,諾克斯堡符合所需規範。

陸軍檢視該軍種轄屬所有營區,最後選上了諾克斯堡,因為該營區除有官兵及眷屬所需的各類型學校、服務及其他資源外,並具備網路基礎設施、交通便捷等特性。
