Camp Fannin Camp Fannin was a U . S . Army Infantry Replacement Training Center and POW Camp located near Tyler , TX . It was opened in 1943 and only operated for four years , before closing in 1946 . It is credited with training over 200 , 000 U . S . Soldiers , sometimes as many as 40 , 000 at one given time . Originally planned as a U . S . Army Air Corps station , Camp Fannin was established in the spring of 1943 , the camp was named for Col . James Walker Fannin , a Texas Revolutionary War hero , who died at Goliad . The original plan moved to Pounds Army Air Field ( Now Tyler Pounds Regional Airport . ) By applying the 2 . 4 % average World War II casualty rate of all Army personnel , it is probable that at least five thousand six hundred who trained here died during the course of the war . Twice that many may have been wounded . Because most who trained at Camp Fannin served as infantry , these estimates are considered conservative . The area where Camp Fannin existed was returned to non - military use during 1946 . A section of the land was handed over to the state of Texas , where the once military hospital was transformed to the University of Texas Health Center at Tyler . Other buildings were sold to commercial and development companies . Many buildings still stand today , most of which are used as location for business and warehouses . A memorial , paid for the Camp Fannin Association , stands at the UT Health Center at Tyler .
