Camp Dodge

Original construction of the post began in 1907, to provide a place for the National Guard units to train.

[1] In 1917, the installation was handed over to national authorities and greatly expanded to become a regional training center for forces to participate in the First World War.

[7] Similarly, with the outbreak of the Second World War, Camp Dodge was again handed over to the federal government; however, this time the post was used only as an induction center for new service members.

[1] Camp Dodge has served as a Guard and Reserve installation since the end of the Second World War.

During World War II the Camp Dodge was defined as being at the town of Herrold, so many documents reference this name as its post office address.
