O.S.S. Basic Military Training (1943)
Description
The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) had many training facilities.
Most were located in Maryland and Virginia.
The first and largest facilities were Chopawamsic Recreational Demonstration Area (RDA) and Catoctin Recreational Demonstration Area (RDA). Chopawamsic RDA, located near Quantico in Northern Virginia, is now called Prince William Forest Park.
Catoctin RDA, located in Western Maryland, is now called Catoctin Mountain Park. Both had been partially developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the 1930s.
These sites were chosen for many reasons.
The areas were remote, secluded, and heavily forested.
They were also federally owned lands that already had facilities to accommodate large groups.
The War Department would lease the facilities from the Department of the Interior.
