The post’s largest military tenant is the Alaska National Guard, with facilities at Camp Carroll and Camp Denali.
Fort Richardson also hosts several non-military activities, including a United States National Cemetery and a state-owned fish hatchery.

The fort encompasses 62,000 acres (25,091 ha), which includes space for offices, family housing, a heliport, a drop zone suitable for airborne and air/land operations, firing ranges and other training areas.
Nearby mountain ranges offer soldiers the opportunity to learn mountain/glacier warfare and rescue techniques.

The Buckner Fieldhouse is a 3,500 seat multi-purpose arena on Fort Richardson.
 From 1978 to 1982, it was home to the Great Alaska Shootout basketball tournament.
 It was replaced as the Shootout venue when the Sullivan Arena opened in 1983.
 Along with the West Anchorage High School gymnasium and the former Anchorage Sports Arena on Fireweed Lane, the Buckner Fieldhouse served as a venue for various other events which later moved to the Sullivan Arena and the William A. Egan Civic and Convention Center upon those facilities' completion.
