Camp Frank D. Merrill is home to the 5th Ranger Training Battalion and the Mountain Phase of the U. S. Army Ranger School. While in Ranger School, small unit leaders are instructed in combat techniques and  procedures used to move soldiers and equipment over all types of terrain, including mountains. One -eighth of the earth's surface is covered by mountains and almost every war which has been fought since the start of recorded history has included some type of mountain operations.

Training facilities: The camp also hosts and assists the training of other military units, civilian government agencies, and youth groups. Each year numerous military and civilian organizations utilize the camp and surrounding area to conduct training. Facilities include the lower mountaineering area; a 25 meter firing range; and class room facilities. For more information about our facilities or how to reserve them, contact the camp’s Operations section at ext 232/236
