This map of Camp Mackall displays the area that the 11th Airborne Division stayed in from March of 1943 to January of 1944. Notice the 11th AB's area is highlighted in yellow (although the wording is upside down) next to the division logo. The 17th Airborne Division was also at Camp Mackall beginning in April of 1943 to March of 1944 and the two airborne division's "faced" each other during the historic Knollwood Maneuvers in December of 1943.

The boys of the 511th PIR enjoyed Camp Mackall's superior facilities when not out on several-day bivouacs or long marches. Out of 12,000 volunteers, only 2,176 remained, having passed (i.e. survived) Colonel Orin Haugen's strict acceptance guidelines. At Mackall the soldiers practiced field problems and got to know the other units in their mother organization, the 11th Airborne Division under Major-General Joseph May Swing.
