Camp Gruber is an Oklahoma Army National Guard (OKARNG) training facility. It covers a total of 87 square miles (230 km2).
The base is named after Brigadier General Edmund L. Gruber, a noted artillery officer and the original composer of the U.S. Field Artillery March, the source for the Army's official song, "The Army Goes Rolling Along". Camp Gruber is located near Braggs, Oklahoma in the Cookson Hills, about 14 miles (23 km) southeast of Muskogee, Oklahoma.[2] The Oklahoma Wildlife Department and the OKARNG have in place an agreement that allows limited hunting by civilians on the base.[3]
