NRD Louisville, Ky

Navy Recruiting District (NRD) Louisville, Kentucky, was established to oversee and coordinate U.S. Navy recruiting efforts across Kentucky, southern Indiana, and southern Illinois. Since its inception in the mid-20th century, NRD Louisville has played a vital role in enlisting and processing thousands of recruits into the Navy, supporting the fleet’s manpower needs through periods of conflict and peace alike. The district managed a network of recruiting stations and participated in numerous community outreach programs to bolster public support and awareness of naval service. NRD Louisville continued its mission until the Navy’s nationwide recruiting restructuring, which saw its operations merged under larger Navy Talent Acquisition Groups in the early 21st century.
