FORT KNOX, Ky. — Several Soldiers assigned to U.S. Army Cadet Command gathered at Fort Knox’s two main railheads May 5 to offload several military vehicles in preparation for the 2023 Cadet Summer Training season.

Under the watchful eye of Cadet Command safety officials, the Soldiers loaded into each of the trucks and carefully drove them off of rail cars before driving them to the unit’s motor pool.
