Camp Dix “Fort Dix has been serving America's Army since

July 18, 1917, when its predecessor, Camp Dix, was officially established as a training and staging camp for troops destined for the battlefields of Europe during World War I. Camp Dix rapidly became one of the nation's largest military reservations as the 78th, 87th and 34th Divisions and many smaller units trained for the war. Because of its proximity to Hoboken, New Jersey, the principal embarkation port for the Doughboys, hundreds of thousands of men from other divisions would pass through Camp Dix on their way to France.” - http://www.worldwar1.com/dbc/campdix.htm
