About Us
Raymond Rees National Guard Training Center is capable of providing individual and group training for units up to battalion size (300-800 soldiers). The site contains a weapons firing range, small maneuver space, track vehicle driver training space, and infrastructure to support both weekend and annual training periods while simultaneously hosting Regional Training Institute (RTI classes). The RTI at Camp Rees is one of two infantry training schools west of the Mississippi, capable of housing and feeding 120 soldiers at a given time. Class cycles vary in duration, from 5-day Tactical Certification Courses to 19-day Advanced Leadership Courses, which take place monthly throughout the year. During non-class times the RTI facilities will be used by the Oregon Training Command and by Oregon National Guard units to fulfill weekend and annual training missions in tactical skills such as weapons qualifications, land navigation, and wheeled and track vehicle driver training.
