Only it wasn't an Air Force base near Clarksville, Tennessee. What is now Campbell Army Airfield had reverted to Army control from the Air Force in 1959, and the rest of Fort Campbell was always Army. Despite the Kentucky mailing address, most of the post is in Tennessee. At that point the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne was in Vietnam, and the rest of the Division went over in December 1967.

As an item of interest, it seems that the original recording of this song (with the Monkees) is flawed and you will always hear a thumping noise (if you listen carefully), generally happening between the times of 2:10 to 2:15, or somewhere around those time locations, depending upon the produced song length. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.195.24 ( talk) 04:32, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
