These days, the post supports the Drug Enforcement Agency’s mission by surveilling low-flying aircraft across the border. Fort Huachuca has 2 museums on post, one detailing the history of the American Southwest and the fort’s involvement in the Apache wars, and the other is the Army Intelligence Museum. There are plenty of available housing options here for those looking to live and work on Fort Huachuca, from family-friendly homes to individual rooms in the barracks.
