Biographical/Historical Note
Camp Joseph T. Robinson is located in North Little Rock, Arkansas, the home of the Arkansas National Guard. Originally Camp Robinson was named Camp Pike in honor of General Zebulon Montgomery Pike, and in 1937, the camp was renamed after United States Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson. The post was taken over by the United State Government in 1940 and became a replacement training center during World War II. Two different centers, an Army training and a medical training center, were stationed at Camp Robinson during World War II, but were later combined to form the Infantry Replacement Training Center.
