Summary
  • "Army Ground Forces designated more than 18,000 square miles of the Arizona and California desert as an armored training facility. Maj. Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., was placed in charge of establishing this facility and served as its first commanding officer. The facility would thereafter reflect his tough image and relentless training doctrines.".
  • "The Desert Training Center/California-Arizona Maneuver Area, 1942-1944: Historical and Archaeological Contexts provides an in-depth look at the history of this massive military training ground. At the core of the report lie military historian Matt C. Bischoff's detailed historic context and overview for this unique facility. Bischoff also provides descriptions of the remaining property types associated with the DTC/C-AMA and commentary on the significance of these resources.
  • Included are details on the administrative history of the facility, the daily lives of the men stationed there, and the weapons, vehicles, and equipment used. The report is illustrated with historic as well as modern photographs, maps, and drawings, all of which help the reader gain an intimate sense of what took place in this portion of the Mojave Desert more than half a century ago."--BOOK JACKET.
