From 1917 until it closed in 1993, Fort Ord, California, operated as the training ground for troops who served in five major wars and a number of lesser conflicts. With as many as 20,000 military personnel staffing it at any given time, Fort Ord served as the primary economic engine for the Monterey Peninsula and for the Salinas Valley. The closure of the base in 1993 dealt a blow to the local economy from which it is still recovering.
