The First District of Kentucky stretches from the Mississippi River across more than 34 counties bounded by the Ohio River on the north, the Tennessee border to the south, and the Appalachian foothills on its eastern edge.
The District is home to the Army's Fort Campbell which houses the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, the 5th Special Forces Group and the 160th Special Operations Air Regiment. In addition, the First District includes the only Uranium enrichment facility left in the United States, the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
