Talk:Camp Victory

Kuwiat
There is a Camp Victory in Kuwait as well, or at least there was one in 2004 when I was there. Should they be mention of this in this article? It is mainly an R&R base, but it is also an important base in transferring troops around the region. Chexmix53 (talk) 19:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, there was a Camp Victory in Kuwait when I passed through it in early 2006 as well, however, I don't believe information about it should go in this article. If there's enough reliably sourced info (from DoD press releases, military newspapers, etc.) then conceivably it can have it's own article. If not, perhaps an article about the several different US installations in Kuwait would be worth creating. Parsecboy (talk) 20:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It no longer exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.213.141.82 (talk) 18:20, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Seitz
Anybody know who Seitz was named for? Just curious... Mark Sublette (talk) 17:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 17:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Log Base Seitz was named after Lieutenant General Richard “Dick” Joe Seitz who was an American Army officer that commanded the 2nd Battalion, 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II ArchyHaddock (talk) 23:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC). I was a member of the 541st CSB during the establishment of the Iraq Base in 2003. It was the 541st that named it "Log Base Seitz". The 541st CSB completed a change of command ceremony with the 515th CSB at Log Base Seitz. The photos were sent to Pat Seitz(Dick Seitz's daughter), who stated in an e-mail, "The base is named after Dad". ArchyHaddock (talk) 00:57, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

3 female soldier dehydration deaths because of fear of rape
"Last year, Col. Janis Karpinski caused a stir by publicly reporting that in 2003, three female soldiers had died of dehydration in Iraq, which can get up to 126 degrees in the summer, because they refused to drink liquids late in the day. They were afraid of being raped by male soldiers if they walked to the latrines after dark." - http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/03/07/women_in_military "There were no lights near any of their facilities[in Camp Victory], so women were doubly easy targets in the dark of the night." - http://books.google.com/books?id=GdSqdIufxekC&pg=PA19&lpg=PA19&dq=camp+victory+3+female+soldiers+rape+latrines&source=bl&ots=SNEu8aKivG&sig=_DfKoWhCF3L9hvTUZ6JWY7ZHHjM&hl=en&ei=jwO9TYaRO5OFtge888m4BQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CB4Q6AEwATgU#v=onepage&q&f=false

Seems like it's worth adding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.60.132.84 (talk) 07:06, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Commanders section is wrong
The dates of the commanders is not correct. When I was there I know Austin was there in late 2010 and 2011...
