NTC aka National Training Center is in Fort Irwin California...located in the Mojave Desert
Before a deployment the soldiers train at this location for about a month...give or take (however after 30 days the military has to pay seperation pay soooo typically they are home at the 30 day mark. ha ha)
With over 1,000 square miles for maneuver and ranges, an uncluttered electromagnetic spectrum, airspace restricted to military use, and its isolation from densely populated areas, Fort Irwin was an ideal site for this facility. The National Training Center was officially activated October 16, 1980, and Fort Irwin returned to active status on July 1, 1981.
