The Cold War has been and continues to be the subject of an ever-expanding range of books and articles. No doubt, with the declassification and availability of documents on both sides of the former Iron Curtain, some of the best histories of the conflict are yet to be written.

This book provides a contextual foundation for the documentation and, in some cases, preservation of the hundreds of Cold War-era military training and education facilities within the United States. The intent is to foster an appreciation and understanding of these places by future generations. The book is divided into two parts. The index contains names, places, and subjects from Part I only; Part II provides a state-by-state listing of training and education sites.

Along with efforts to design, develop, produce, and maintain needed equipment and weapon systems, training and education played a crucial role in building the forces necessary for national survival in the atomic age. The highly technical weapons forged by America's military-industrial arsenal would prove useless on the battlefield if not handled by highly trained soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines led by highly educated commanders. Thus, a vast percentage of the military infrastructure was dedicated to training and education facilities.
