Camp Bouse was one of twelve camps in the American Army's World War II Desert Training Center (DTC), or California-Arizona Maneuver Area (CAMA). The DTC was the largest military facility in American history. The DTC's primary mission was to train American troops to fight in North Africa.

Camp Bouse was established in the Butler Valley, east of Bouse, AZ, in September, 1943. The location for the top secret Canal Defense Light (CDL) project was chosen as it was the most remote the Army could find. Even 70+ years later, the site is 20 miles from the nearest paved road.

CDLs, M-3 Grant tanks mounted with 13-million candle power strobe lights flickering six times per second, were intended to blind and confuse German troops.
