Fort Hood is the largest employer in the State of Texas. Approximately 45,000 soldiers are assigned to Fort Hood. The large concentration of military dependents strongly influences the area's business climate as well as the approximately 1,000 soldiers who separate from the service each month. With advanced high-tech training, these soldiers provide an experienced and well disciplined labor pool.

The Ft.Hood outdoor Museum is a must see. There is an incredible amount of tanks, planes, helicoptors, and other Army transport vehicles on show, all very interesting, and really worth coming to see.
