✯✯✯✯
Patton’s Playground holds a significant place in American history, particularly in the context of the Second World War.  Patton’s Playground location  was a vital training ground shaping the course of American military history.

Camp Bouse The 526th A.I.B. – Canal Defense Light Project – Desert Training Center – California – Arizona Maneuver Area – Camp Bouse was established in Butler Valley in September 1943. It was the home of the 9th tank group which consisted of six tank battalions, one armored infantry battalion, an ordnance company and a station hospital. It was one of twelve camps built in the southwestern deserts to harden and train US troops for the battlefields of World War II. The other camps were Young, Coxcomb, Granite, Iron Mountain, Ibis Clipper, Pilot Knob, Laguna, Horn, Hyder and Rice.
