Today we journey to one of more than a dozen large Desert Warfare Training Camps that were set up under the direction of General Patton during World War Two. These camps were designed to train over one million U.S. Army soldiers in the art and hardships of desert warfare before being shipped to North Africa to fight and defeat German and Italian forces occupying that area.

Camp Bouse was established as a top-secret camp where a new U.S. wonder weapon was tested and readied for our entry into the war. What exactly was this wonder weapon called the "Gizmo"? The answer to this mystery is answered in this video.
