Camp Polk’s Headquarters building (bldg 1714), constructed in 1942, was located on the corner of Louisiana and Mississippi avenues. During its tenure, some of the units housed in the building included the 1st Armored Division, the Fort Polk Training Center, the 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized) and the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division. After 72 years, the building’s demolition began in the spring of 2014 — the event was considered the “end of an era” for the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk.
