CAMP BLANDING DIGS IN WITH 65 MILES OF ALL NEW LINES

During World War II, Camp Blanding, located on Kingsley Lake south of Orange Park, Florida, served as an infantry replacement center where 800,000 soldiers were trained and as a prisoner of war compound. Today the 70,000-acre camp belongs to the Florida National Guard. It operates year-round to meet the training needs of tens of thousands of National Guardsmen, active Army, and Reservists. New barracks and facilities have been built. Ranges and training areas are improved. Little was done, however, to upgrade the camp's deteriorating potable water and sewer systems. Today, however, Camp Blanding has more than 65 miles of new potable water lines and sewers.
