Description

Camp Forrest was a training, induction, and combatant prisoner-of-war (POW) facility located on the outskirts of Tullahoma, Tennessee.

It was a self-sustaining city where over 70,000 soldiers were stationed and approximately 12,000 civilians were employed throughout World War II.

In 1942, the camp transitioned to an enemy alien internment camp and was one of the first civilian internment camps in the United States.

By the middle of 1943, it had transitioned into a POW camp and housed primarily German and Italian prisoners.

After the war ended, the base was decommissioned and dismantled in 1946.

In 1951, the area was recommissioned and expanded into the US Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Complex.

Few remains of this important World War II facility exist today; however, the images within provide a glimpse into the effects and realities of a global war on American soil.
