There is a sign near the cache that has the rules and regulations for Camp Elliott. You will need a writing utensil to sign the log.
*One of the most successful classified projects of World War II was initiated at Camp Elliott: the Navajo Code. Following impressive trial demonstrations, hundreds of Navajo Indians were recruited to develop a code based on their language. They would also serve as specialists in the Signal Corps as “Code Talkers.” Following their recruit training, the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers, 382nd Platoon, were ordered to Camp Elliott.
Following their training at Camp Elliott, the original 29 Code Talkers were assigned throughout the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions, including the Raider Battalions. They saw action on many of the Pacific islands including Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Saipan, Guam and Iwo Jima, often serving on the front lines. The Code proved indispensable, allowing sensitive messages to be sent and translated in a matter of minutes as compared to the hours required by the codex machines. The Navajo Code saved unknown thousands of Marines, and to the creators’ credit, it was never broken.
As with the Code Talker School, many facilities at Elliott were moved to Camp Pendleton in the early months of 1943.
