Army camps all the same at Camp Pickett Virginia
A field report on Camp Pickett Virginia shows 20000 reservists and National Guardsmen passing through for annual training amid quiet anger and routine drills. The piece compares Pickett with Camp Drum New York and notes remote location, limited civilian contact, nearby towns like Blackstone and Henderson, and diversions such as drive-ins and fireworks runs. It also mentions the Army Reserve Command 77th ARCOM and parallels to Civil War sites and regional life.
