Throughout World War II, Camp Roberts was the largest U.S. Army basic training installation in the nation. Over 436,000 troops passed through an intensive 17-week training cycle. A peak population of 45,000 troops was reached in 1944, with thousands of these soldiers quartered in huge tent cities. Besides the two Training Centers, there was a 750-bed hospital and internment facilities for German and Italian prisoners of war. Many of the Italian POWs swore allegiance to America after Italy surrendered, and spent the remainder of the war as service unit workers at Camp Roberts.
