The Commission on Training Camp Activities (CTCA), also popularly known as the Fosdick Commission,[1] was an umbrella agency within the United States Department of War during World War I that provided recreational and educational activities for soldiers as they trained for combat. Established in April 1917, the CTCA had the mandate to keep American troops "physically healthy and morally pure",[2] while also motivating them to fight.[3]
