Reasons for the Choice of Other Camps in the South
Explanation outlines why Tampa was chosen for base due to its shipping facilities and proximity to Cuba enabling rapid troop movement. Summer camps at Fernandina, Jacksonville, and Tampa were selected for troop health and rail and water mobility. Tampa was temporary for embarkation, later moved troops to Huntsville. Porto Rico campaign orders issued June 26, 1898. Troops delayed on transports after Tampa embarkation due to Commodore Remey’s advisory about Cuban naval movements and telegrams.
