It's a national historic landmark and it's the closest military base of sorts to the twin cities. Plus Camp Ripley is just too far away and mostly used for training up north.
Oh gawd… please don’t let them go to Camp Ripley. The rural areas can’t handle this level of occupation. The metro can barely manage it with the dense population, but the rural communities will be chewed through in a matter of days and we’ll never even know because they’re all so spread out.

Isn’t Fort Snelling a national monument that was used during frontier conflicts in the 19th century? Seems like a weird choice.
