Off the I-15

The Desert Dispatch is not the only media outlet interested in the happenings at Fort Irwin. Each rotation, more than 20 different television stations, newspapers, magazines and other media-types trek out to the desert to capture the training the occurs there.

Recently, CBS News and “Army,” the magazine of the Association of the United States Army, have published looks at Fort Irwin.

The CBS News piece, “Turning Enemies into Allies,” can be seen here. It was filmed during a rotation in June and features footage of some of the role players from the Barstow area who now work in the box.

The AUSA Army piece is in their July 2008 issue. “Between Hollywood and Hell,” by Dennis Steele is an in depth look at how the Iraq war is recreated in the Mojave Desert.
