There were in all sixteen cantonments for the National Army and sixteen cantonments for the National Guard. Besides these there were officers' training camps and specials camps for the marine corps, the aviation force, and the reception of men whose training was completed and who were being concentrated immediately prior to being put on transports and sent to the foreign battlefields. A full list of the National Army and the National Guard cantonments with their locations and geographical distribution of the troops which were assigned to each will be of general interest:
