Camp Ross was a World War II base serving as a staging area (embarkation camp) under the command of the Army's Los Angeles Port of Embarkation.

The United States Department of War leased 31.026 acres of land starting in 1942.

With departure and arrived every day, the camp and port moved 10 million tons cargo and over 700,000 troops and more than 28,000 prisoners of war during its years of operation.

Many of the departing and returning Troops use the larger Camp Anza in Riverside, California as a staging area.

After the war the Los Angeles Port of Embarkation Station Hospital became the Harbor–UCLA Medical Center and LA BioMed.
