The Council on America's Military Past, USA, Inc. was founded in 1966 in Phoenix, Arizona as the Council on Abandoned Military Posts and chartered as a nonprofit educational association. Initially organized to identify, locate, preserve and memorialize the military installations and units that no longer serve the role for which they were created, mounting member interest soon included other subjects including soldier's life and customs of service. The association was renamed the Council on America's Military Past, USA, Inc. in 1981 to reflect those expanding membership interest. Despite its initial location in the west, CAMP activities are nationwide and we have members in all states and territories and ten foreign countries. Some members are federal and state agencies and their employees, including the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Archives and Record Service. Others are employees of preservation offices and historical societies. Many members are or have been military officers and military historians.
