Sabre Army Heliport (ICAO: KEOD, FAA LID: EOD) is a military use heliport located at Fort Campbell, seven nautical miles (13 km) northwest of the central business district of Clarksville, in Montgomery County, Tennessee, United States.

History
[edit]Sabre AHP was built in 1976 to accommodate UH-1 "Huey" helicopters. In 1998, the U.S. Army conducted a study of the heliport at the direction of the U.S. Congress. $19.5 million was appropriated for improvements including widening the landing area to accommodate UH-60 "Blackhawk" helicopters. The Lane Construction Corp. was selected in 2000 to construct a new 1,357-metre (4,452 ft) concrete runway and a 1,240-metre (4,070 ft) parallel taxiway, along with three connecting taxiways, a visual flight rule helipad and runway lighting.[2]
