Where was the 1-502 activated?

The correct activation location for the 1-502 is Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Specifically, the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment is part of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and was established there as part of a rich history of airborne operations. Fort Campbell has been the home to many significant units and operations, playing a crucial role in the training and deployment of air assault and airborne forces.

While Fort Benning is renowned for its infantry training and is associated with the development and training of various infantry units, it is not the site of activation for the 1-502. Fort Bragg is known as a major hub for airborne and special operations forces but is not where this specific battalion was activated. Fort Hood is primarily recognized for armor and cavalry units and does not have a historical connection to the 1-502 activation.
