Fort Polk JRTC

Currently Fort Polk is supporting the war on terrorism by providing contingency training for the Army's light infantry and special operations forces and by deploying home station and reserve component forces in support of Operations Enduring Freedom, Noble Eagle, and Iraqi Freedom. Recent accomplishments include the new Consolidated Library and Education Center, Post Headquarters and newly renovated Soldiers Readiness Processing Center — all of which have set new standards Army-wide.

Natchitoches, LA

Natchitoches is a city located in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 17,865. Pronounced Nak-a-tish. Established in 1714 by Louis Juchereau de St. Denis. Oldest permanent settlement within the borders of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. Natchitoches was founded as a French outpost on the Red River (Mississippi watershed) for trade with Spanish-controlled Mexico, with the French presence beginning as early as 1699. The settlement's site was established near a village of Natchitoches Indians. After the Louisiana Purchase, Natchitoches experienced a population boom, and several plantations were built along the river. The river eventually changed its course, bypassing Natchitoches and cutting off its lucrative connection with the Mississippi. What was once known as the Red River is now Cane River Lake, a 30-something mile body of water that runs from the city’s downtown historic district through Plantation Country.
