What Airport do you
recommend?
When you fly into smaller airports it
would probably connect from a larger airport, and you would
then be paying for that connecting flight. I recommend
flying into st. louis then renting a car. St.Louis is a 2 hour
drive to Fort Wood at 70 miles an hour.

St. Louis and Fort Leonard Wood. USA Express operates an
airport shuttle service 7 times daily between Fort Leonard
Wood and St. Louis Lambert Airport. The phone number is

If for
any reason there is an emergency at home and you need to
contact your soldier, please call the
RED CROSS
through your local chapter, hospital, or law enforcement
agency. The RED
CROSS maintains an efficient 24-hour worldwide notification
service. Be
sure you have your soldier’s social security number and
address to avoid a delay in service. There is no
charge and most importantly, such notification
gives us the ONLY official confirmation that the
commander needs to grant emergency leave if demanded by
the situation.
For non-emergency contact, or for further assistance,
please write,
call, or e-mail the Company
Commander.
On a personal note,
you can eat anywhere on Fort Wood without an Id, but you
will not be able to buy gas, or shop the PX or Commissary.
