The base is capable of accommodating several hundred recruits at any given time.The Camp contains several training grounds and firing ranges along with a parade ground in the middle of the camp.
Before the First Bug War, Johnny Rico was transferred to Camp Currie upon enlistment in the Federal Military Service. During the live fire exercise, a teammate named Breckinridge is been accidentally killed by Djana'D due to his helmet malfunction. This incident leads Rico to be punished by ten lashes and Djana'D to quit
This base was home to Rico and many other Troopers he would serve with during the upcoming First Bug War.
Notes[]
- The camp was named for Sir Arthur William Currie of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Sir Arthur Currie had the unusual beginning of a pre-war militia gunner and eventually worked his way through the entire scale of ranks to eventually become Canada's first Four Star General. His nickname was "Guts and Gaitors".
- In the 1988 OVA Starship Troopers, instead of tents, the recruits live in normal building. While in the 1997 film Starship Troopers (1997 film), the buildings are shaped like tents.
