5 FORT KNOX, Ky. A recent call from Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville for installations to start providing work space for spouses is being answered by Fort Knox senior leaders, with a twist.
The directive focuses on carving out spaces for spouses who desire to start or grow their own business, or remotely work in a more office-friendly environment rather than from home.
“We’ve seen it throughout our careers. As we travel through duty stations, our spouses have really struggled,” said Command Sgt. Maj. William Fogle, senior enlisted advisor at Fort Knox Garrison. “They’ve sacrificed, not just dealing with our deployments and having to be home alone and raising a family without us, they’ve truly struggled with their own careers.”

Two Kentucky Army posts â Fort Campbell and Fort Knox â are among six Army posts that will be allocated millions of dollars in private-sector funding soon to construct new homes and improve the quality of existing houses.
Negotiated between the U.S. Army and Lendlease and announced Jan. 27, the agreement involves $1.1 billion in capital investment from various public financial institutions.
Lendlease officials said they plan to use the additional monies to renovate more than 12,000 existing homes while also constructing more than 1,200 new houses at the six installations. Itâs part of efforts to improve military housing after reports in 2018 revealed military families were contending with dangerous living conditions in privately managed military homes, including mold, lead paint, faulty electrical wiring and pest problems.
