Camp McAlester OK

Camp McAlester, located near McAlester, Oklahoma, was established during World War II as a key military installation. Originally constructed in 1942, the camp served as a vital training and support facility for U.S. Army troops, particularly in artillery and munitions handling due to its proximity to the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. Throughout the war, thousands of soldiers passed through Camp McAlester, contributing to the war effort both at home and abroad. After the war, the camp's role diminished, with much of its operations consolidated into the adjacent ammunition plant, which continues to play a significant role in U.S. military logistics today.
