On back: "Lower center is the Recruit Reception Center, where as many as 20,000 new soldiers may be outfitted and processed each month. Top left is the Medical Department Replacement Center, where approximately 6,000 soldiers get 13 weeks of basic military and medical training before they are sent out to their permanent assignments. Top right, at the loop in the road and near the bend in the Rock River, is Camp Grant headquarters. At far right is the extensive station hospital, which has a capacity of about 500 patients."
