President Joe Biden plans to designate Camp Hale, a World War II-era alpine warfare

Published: 07-10-2022 16:57

President Joe Biden plans to designate a World War II-era alpine warfare training site, Camp Hale, as his first national monument in Colorado. The move will protect the site from development and preserve its historical significance.

Camp Hale was established in 1942 as a training ground for the 10th Mountain Division, a unit of the U.S. Army that specialized in alpine warfare. The division played a key role in the Allied victory in Italy in 1945. After the war, the site was used for various purposes, including as a Boy Scout camp and a ski resort.

The decision to designate Camp Hale as a national monument is based on a recommendation from the National Park Service, which conducted a study of the site last year. The study found that Camp Hale has significant historical value and is worthy of protection.

The designation of Camp Hale as a national monument will help to preserve an important part of American history and ensure that future generations can learn about and enjoy this unique site.
