Best Answer

From Chicago, you have major Army installations at the following distances:

  • Fort McCoy, Wisconsin (approximately 250 miles)
  • Fort Knox, Kentucky (approximately 340 miles)
  • Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri (approximately 440 miles)
  • Fort Campbell, Kentucky (approximately 450 miles)
  • Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (approximately 540 miles)
  • Fort Riley, Kansas (approximately 650 miles)

So, Fort McCoy would be the closest, but getting stationed there may not feasible, or may require an MOS other than the one you intend to enlist as (if that's your intent).
