Camp Withycombe, located in Clackamas County, Oregon,〔http://www.ci.happy-valley.or.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/778〕 United States, was originally established as Camp Benson after Governor Frank W. Benson, but was later renamed Camp Withycombe during World War I for Governor James Withycombe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Camp Withycombe )〕 Originally known as the Clackamas Rifle Range, it was established as a training camp in 1909 and expanded during World War I, during which it served as a headquarters for the National Guard, a central supply depot and training center. Pendleton, Oregon photographer Walter S. Bowman photographed Camp Benson in the early 20th century.〔(Walter S. Bowman ) University of Oregon Library special collections〕 In the 1930s, the camp became a supply depot. Some of the buildings on the camp property, such as the Adjutant General's house (1938), were built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The camp still serves as a training facility, supply depot, and equipment repair facility for the National Guard but the rifle range is now closed.〔http://fortwiki.com/Camp_Withycombe〕 ==Site overview== Camp Withycombe is state land under the responsibility of the Oregon Military Department, a state agency, and is home to several Oregon Army National Guard (ORARNG) military units under the jurisdiction of federal and state military authorities.
