Welcome to the U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) and Fort Leonard Wood, where all chemical, engineer and military police and transportation Soldiers, plus Marines, Airmen, Sailors and international students from allied nations receive training.
Fort Leonard Wood, in the beautiful south central Missouri Ozarks, covers more than 62,911 acres, of which, 53,995 is used for training.
The fort is located in Pulaski County, which has a population of nearly 45,000. Bordering the installation to the north are the towns of Waynesville and St. Robert, with an approximate combined population of 6,700. The post is two miles south of Interstate 44. St. Louis is a two hour drive to the east along Interstate 44 and Springfield, Mo., is a little more than an hour's drive to the west.
A strong bond exists between Fort Leonard Wood and surrounding communities. There are numerous organizations and thousands of volunteer hours by the local communities to support Fort Leonard, the soldiers that train there and their families.
More than 100,000 people visit Fort Leonard Wood's Museums each year, and officials expect the number of visitors to increase as the facilities collection of historical artifacts continues to grow. One of the museum's unique projects is the restoration of a World War II company area that features a dining facility, barracks, company headquarters and officer quarters from the 1940s.
