Summary
| Description |
Camp White at Table Rocks During World War II, a portion of Upper Table Rock was part of 43,000-acre Camp George A. White, known as the “Alcatraz of Boot Camps” for its tough conditions. In 1941, Camp White occupied nearly 50,000 acres and contained nearly 40,000 people at its peak, more than 16 times the area and 3 times the population of nearby Medford. At its height, Camp White was the second largest city in the State of Oregon. The Beagle Range encompassed the east and north sides of Upper Table Rock and was used to practice infantry drills such as taking enemy strongholds. It included concrete pillboxes designed to simulate Nazi fortified coastal regions of Europe. Troops practiced manning and capturing the pillboxes, often with live ammunition. Tanks were used to fire on the pillboxes, and men inside were given the task of repelling their attack. Training in the Fortified Zone also included flame throwers, 105-millimeter artillery, simulated TNT, and electrically fired explosions.
