Three members of Congress will visit Fort Campbell this week to learn about military readiness and budget effects.

A news release from the post said Republican U.S. Representatives Mac Thornberry of Texas and Marsha Blackburn and Diane Black of Tennessee will visit on Tuesday.

Thornberry is chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and Black heads the House Budget Committee.

Fort Campbell said the lawmakers will focus on military readiness and impacts that Defense Department budget cuts have had on facilities, personnel, training and maintenance across the 101st Airborne Division.
