Located in western Louisiana, near the burgeoning communities of Lees- ville and DeRidder, the installation covers more than 147,000 acres of Kisatchie National Forest. The Post, originally called Camp Polk, was established as a result of the famous- Louisiana maneuvers of 1941-42. Twenty- two million dollars worth of construction was completed in mid-1942. Fort Polk was named after the Right Reverend Leonidas Polk, an Episcopal bishop of Louisiana, known as the 'Fighting Bishop. Reverend Polk was killed in action in 1864 at Marietta, Georgia, while fighting as a Confederate lieutenant general. During World War II, Camp Polk trained millions of men. Former President Eisenhower, General Mark Clark, General Omar Bradley, the late General George S. Patton, Jr., General Walter Krueger, and General Alfred Gruenther were among the famous personalities who directed the training of equally famous divisions whose deeds in battle in the European, Asiastic, and Pacific Theaters have gone down in history. After the war, Polk was inactivated to a stand-by status. In 1948-49, the camp was partially opened to accommodate vital National Guard and Reserve summer training. September 1950, saw the Post fully activated to meet the needs of the Korean War. In 1954, the Post closed, only to be opened the next year and designated a fort. In June 1959, Fort Polk again was closed. 5 .vi 'AN
