Is a Millitary centre, it was Built in 1940 in order to Train troops for battle in the second world war, It was named in honour of a well known general, Leonard Wood. And to hold prisoners of the Axis (Germany, Italy, And japan). As a Prisoner of war camp it had very low escape attempt rate, Only one person tried to escape from the fort (He succeeded but was re-captured later. Fort Leonard Wood was very kind to his prisoners and many of them actualy said that there life imprisoned there was better then there life on the front. Fort Leonard wood had served this purpose whenever the USA went to war and today is one of the Countrys biggest training centres (Though it is not a POW Prison). Fort Leonard Wood however, Is built on the remains of a small town. Coincidently named Bloodland, A town of Germans workers, Because the government could take any land they wanted, they decided to seize Bloodland's land. Most of the Residents Did not know about the governments desicion Until the Towns mayor made an announcement during the Halloween Celebrations. Most of the Townspeople were enraged by this and formed a riot, it is said that they cursed fort Leonard Wood after they were forced to be evicted, saying that they would bring humiliation to the Fort. The area where bloodland once stood is now a Small Arms firing range, respectfully called "Bloodland Firing range". The only structures from the origional bloodland that still stand, are a small schoolhouse and the graveyard. Both just outside the fort.
