Die hochtechnisierte Einrichtung mit einer Fläche von 2590 km² befindet sich auf dem Areal eines unwegsamen Truppenübungsgeländes in der Mojave-Wüste und ist in besonderem Maße für die Panzerkriegführung optimiert. Das Ausbildungszentrum ist die primäre Ausbildungseinrichtung für die gepanzerten Truppen der US Army und dem United States Army Forces Command hierfür unterstellt. Als Gegnerdarstellung (Opposing Force) dient das 11. gepanzerte Kavallerieregiment.[1]
