Re enlisted a couple of months ago, I have my pcs orders the orders state I will be going to Fort Knox but my soldier talent profile has me projected to report to Barton Barracks KY. Does anyone have any information on this location? UIC is WAT6T0

Not at all sure that is correct. The only Barton Barracks I have ever heard of is in Germany under V Corp. I would contact your Branch for clarity, unless of course someone knows if a Barton Barracks in Kentucky.

I am sure I only muddied the waters for you.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member, I agree with CSM Darieus ZaGara. Only one I was aware of was the one at Ansbach.

Are you going to V Corps? There is still some confusion in the system regarding "what's at Fort Knox and what's in Germany". Not saying this is what has happened, but if you are going there, this might be one of the possibilities. IF so, contact the V Corps G1 folks [login to see] ) for clarity.

You can also lookup your UIC on FMSWEB (https://fmsweb.army.mil - need to log in from a system on the .mil domain) and get details regarding where the exact location is of that unit.

It's probably just that the HQ is in Germany. PCS orders will always assign you to a Brigade level. Your BDE HQ if you're going to V Corps is now in Germany.

I would take anything on you soldier talent profile with a grain of salt. IPPSA is still in the beginning stages and it has a ton of errors about soldier's information. Mine states my duty station is Junction City. I am stationed at Fort Riley (I know that's basically the same thing, but junction city is not a military base). It also says I was a trainee at Fort Knox when in fact I did BCT at Sill and AIT at Leonard Wood. I would look at your ACT sponsorship information and contact your sponsor to get a solid answer about where you will be. I would also go off of your orders and not the STP.

I believe there is a building at Fort Knox called Barton. Could this be your living quarters?
