Description

On January 14, 1942, Col. Andrew D. Bruce announced that the location of the new Tank Destroyer Tactical Training and Firing Center was to be near Killeen, Texas.

This announcement put into motion a whirlwind of activity and construction that resulted in the creation of one of the largest military bases in the world.

On September 18, 1942, Camp Hood was officially opened.

Eight short months after the opening of Camp Hood, the base nearly doubled in size.

Building from scratch, the spirit of a black panther, as depicted on the tank destroyers shoulder patch, was channeled into anti-tank combat teams.

These teams were trained to fight the formidable might of Germany's panzer divisions.
