Baker Company hosts Market Garden tactical in 2013


For several years, there have been discussions between reenactors about organizing a Market Garden World War II reenactment in and around the Ohio village of Zoar. Due to the area's founding by German Separatists in 1817, the geography very much resembles the Germany/Holland/Belgium regions. In cooperation with Camp Tuscazoar, things have finally come together.

The Camp Tuscazoar WWII Tactical will be held on October 12-13, 2013 and hosted by the 1st Allied Airborne Reenactor's Baker Company (502nd, 101st ABN). Camp Tuscazoar is a facility of the Boy Scouts of America built in the 1920s and steeped in history (http://www.tuscazoar.org/tuscazoar_history.htm). The Camp will have all of the amenities we need and provide reenactors with the proper housing, food and other amenities, as well as several hundred acres on which to conduct operations.

This event is specifically a non-spectator tactical. Due to certain limitations, there will be a need to cap the number of participants. If your unit is interested in attending, please email Chris Smith (csmith@firstalliedairborne.com).

At this time, the planning team is developing the details on logistics and registration information. To stay up to date, you can visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/tuscazoar. Make sure to click on the LIKE button. We will also continue to post information at www.firstalliedairborne.com.
