The main headquarters for the Desert Training Center was Camp Young, this is where General Patton's 3rd Armored Division was stationed.

Camp Horn was built to prepare troops to do battle in North Africa to fight the Nazis during World War II.

When completed the camp had shower buildings, latrines, wooden tent frames, outdoor theater, firing ranges, water storage tanks and water treatment plant.

The only remains of Camp Horn are rock lines walkways and road.

The runway was from use for small planes, like the L-4 Piper Aircraft so the vast training grounds could be watched from the air.
