Ft Campbell CYSS keeps an updated list of overnight sitters available. Your team is small for support but there will be garrison level resiliency groups that may be able to provide a list as well.

SSG (Join to see) While stationed overseas we lived on post. My wife, through the Child Development Center (CDC), was an authorized on post/in home Family Child Care (FCC) provider. Check with the Ft. Campbell CDC if similar programs are available.
Unfortunately, there are few late night childcare options for shift workers in the same boat as you. On the local level the Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is a good starting point. AFAP is an Army-wide program to identify critical issues concerning welfare and morale and present them to senior Army leadership for resolution. You might not be able to quickly affect change but you can start the process for future Soldiers in similar situations. Additionally, you could also write your congressman/representative. When doing so you must leave the "personal feeling" out of it, present the issue and provide some possible course of action. Good luck.

I'm in the same boat, but I can't rely on on post care for long. Right now I'm relying on my kids' godmother, since that is the only person I know in the area.
