61% Informative

Camp Iron Mountain was built in 1942 in order to train troops to do battle in North Africa during World War 2 .

Stationed here were the Second Armored Division under General George S Patton and the 80th Division .

When the camp was active, they had 15 shower buildings, 26 latrines, 113 wooden tent frames, an amphitheater, and two 3000 gallon water tank towers.

Camp Iron Mountain was only around for about two years , but there was thousands of soldiers that came through here that all went to fight in North Africa and Europe during World War 2 .

The camp is definitely a lot bigger than I thought, but every once in a while you're walking, you're like, man, am I still on the camp? And so let's keep heading out towards the Chapel.

Luke found a rain gauge hidden out in the middle of nowhere here at Camp Iron Mountain .

The Catholic Chapel is the better preserved of the two chapels.

There's no cemetery or anything out here, but if they did, they wouldn't have been buried out here.

Luke found some old rusted nails and an old metal can.
