Fort Richardson is headquarters for United States Army Alaska (USARAK), a subordinate unit of United States Army Pacific Command. The primary combat unit at the Fort is the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 501st Infantry, which along with smaller supporting engineer, signal, military intelligence and artillery units, form a readily deployable combat task force in support of the 1st Brigade, 6th Infantry Division (Light) headquartered at Fort Wainwright.
