The current base covers 12,500 acres (51 km2) and is home to many different units and elements of the Louisiana Army National Guard.
The camp was originally named for Louisiana native and Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard.
[2] Inspired by the work of the Federal Naming Commission, the Louisiana National Guard began the process of soliciting potential replacement names for Camp Beauregard from the general public in September 2022 even though the State of Louisiana was not legally required to do so.
After World War II, the camp was returned to the state, which used it as a training area for two years and then deactivated it.
The 256th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the Louisiana Army National Guard often makes use of the camp's training and lodging facilities.
