North Carolina Military Camps

The November issue of North Carolina's Our State Magazine had the Our State Quiz out military camps in the state from the past.

Of course, most people know of the Big Three: the Army's Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, and the USMC Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville.

However, there were eight more:


SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR

Named for the Confederate general, Camp Bryan Grimes was a US Army facility located in Raleigh, the troops trained here for the Spanish-American War.


SPECIAL FORCES

Set up in 1943, Camp MacKall in Hoke County first trained paratroopers and glider pilots during World War II. These days the Special Forces unit used it for training.


NATHANIEL GREENE

Consisting of 6,000 acres, Camp Greene trained soldiers for World War I from 1917-1919. It was named for Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Greene.


156,000 ACRES

A major training and operations base for the US Marine Corps, Camp Lejuene was founded in 1941 and located in Onslow County. It consists of 160,000 acres. A road goes through it and you see tank crossing warnings, something you don't often see on the US highways.

I ended up missing 6 of the 8 questions.
