  • This also used to be the Harmony Church training area for Infantry OSUT and in "temporary" barracks built for World War II. I think most of these buildings were demolished in the early 90's. 1st through 4th Battalions of the 2nd Infantry Training Brigade called Harmony Church home, before the regimental name changes occurred.
