Any and all help greatly appreciated!!
Thank you

I do remediation work at Camp Sibert. A lot of people misspell "Sibert" so this could be a reason you're not finding more information on it. I'm not sure what "3pros reg" means, but I'm sure "utc cw s" should read "UTC CWS" which means Unit Training Center, Chemical Warfare Service. If you're interested and still reviewing this site, I can get you more information.

Thank you so much for your reply. I am still very interested in. Any information would of great help.

Thank you!!

No problem.

Here's the project I've worked on in the past:

There are still plenty of sites I'm working at Camp Sibert - both chemical and conventional weapons.

Here's some additional info on Camp Sibert and projects related to the Camp:

Look very closely, it may be "prov", short for provisional. A type of temporary or in this case, a training regiment. See detailed definition below:

Organization, designation, and discontinuance of provisional units
a. Provisional units may be organized and designated by the head of an HQDA agency or by the commander of an
Army field command. These actions are not subject to approval by HQDA. The descriptive title of the unit will include
the word “ provisional ”as part of its designation. Provisional units will be organized for limited periods, not to exceed
2 years. At the end of the 2 years, the organizing authority will determine if the organization should remain in
provisional status, if recommendations should be made through appropriate channels to permanently organize the unit,
or if it should be discontinued. Organization and discontinuance of provisional units will be reported to the Center of
Military History (DAMH–FPO).
b. Provisional units are composed of personnel temporarily detached from their assigned positions in MTOE or
TDA units, as required. Organizations providing personnel to form provisional units will not be refilled from
replacement sources by reason of these attachments. Promotion, reduction, or reassignment of an individual attached to
a provisional unit is the responsibility of the commander of the MTOE or TDA unit to which the individual is
permanently assigned. Commanders of provisional units created as rear or home elements of deployed units may have
promotion or reduction authority.
c. Organization of a provisional unit is not a change in the force structure. Provisional units will not be accounted
for on strength returns, since the personnel of these units are accounted for in the strength of the organizations to which
they are permanently assigned.
d. Organization of a provisional unit is not a basis for requisitioning personnel, supplies, or equipment from
agencies outside the command in which the unit is organized.

Clay,

Your information is fascinating. I have been researching this area for awhile now. My husbands family owned a large amount of property there, and was pushed off the property when this emcampment moved it. Do you have any other maps of the area?

Thanks,
