"From March of 1933 until the entrance of the United States into World War II in December 1941, the U.S. Army participated in one of the largest domestic relief operations in its institutional history--the Civilian Conservation Corps, better known as the 'CCC'. ...This essay illustrates how the Civilian Conservation Corps, while primarily intended as a civilian relief organization during the Great Depression (1929-1940), served as a 'pre-training course' for the men whom eventually served in the Army during the first years of World War II." -Dr. Leo J. Daugherty III
