Where is the National Training Center located?

• A. Fort Irwin, California
• B. Fort Benning, Georgia
• C. Fort Hood, Texas
• D. Fort Lewis, Washington

Answer: (A)

The National Training Center is located at Fort Irwin, California, in the Mojave Desert. This remote, expansive setting provides the rugged terrain, space, and isolation needed for very large-scale, brigade-level and combined-arms training, including realistic maneuver, staging, and live-fire exercises that simulate combat operations. The other listed posts are real Army bases with their own training missions, but they are not designated as the National Training Center. Fort Irwin’s desert environment and vast training area make it the best fit for the Center’s purpose.
