a full size civilian camp for displaced persons, occupying approximately ten acres was staked out and outlined in white tape on the presidio of monterrey. the camp layout was based on a recommended plan submitted to the headquarters from the theater...barbed wire fences, sanitary facilities and typical sections of barracks and other buildings were constructed in the area - with detachments participating in the construction. it was anticipated that the camp would make field problems relating to camps take on a more realistic aspect in addition to the training aid, which the actual layout would provide.
