{{Ébauche}}{{Traduire}}

Camp Venture was known before the war for its extreme survival training. Known as V.E.S.T. (Virginias Endurance and Survival Training), it was run by [[Edward Hayes]] Jr., a [[Free States]] member. The intense training course lasted four weeks, with attendees working on their cardio, strength and learning numerous skills, including building fires, cleaning water, establishing shelter (week 1), handling firearms, field dressings, safety against poisonous flora (week 2), wilderness navigation, first aid and signals (week 3). The final week was essentially an examination, where attendees applied the skills they learned in practice. Hayes used the facilities to train members of the Free States, including [[Raleigh Clay]] and his family, in preparation for the nuclear war. When the Free States seceded from the [[United States of America|United States]] in late 2077, Hayes mothballed the facility and retreated to his bunker.<ref>[[Camp Venture terminal entries]]</ref>

This proved to be a windfall for [[Taggerdy's Thunder]], left to fend for themselves by the chain of command. Acting on de Silva's recommendation, Lt. Taggerdy moved her squad into the camp, where they survived the harsh winter of 2078.<ref>[[Taggerdy's journal: NOV 04 2077]]</ref> Taggerdy ordered the Camp to full readiness, in order to fill out the ranks, putting Sgt. [[Ted Wilson]] in charge of training volunteers. Within 29 days, Wilson brought the mothballed facility back to operational status, improvising a training regimen, adapting Ranger techniques to their present situation (complicated by the lack of an airborne component, but he made do). Recruits signed up regularly, but Wilson's brutal training caused many to wash out. The first class that graduated from Camp Venture had an over 50% failure rate and one fatality due to the live-fire exercises Wilson had recruits perform. However, they were the right kind of people for the Thunder, the lieutenant, and Captain Maxson.<ref>[[Camp Venture terminal entries]]</ref>  

In fact, this was here that the [[Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel]] was eventually born.<ref>[[Formation of the Brotherhood of Steel]]</ref>  

Complications happened from time to time. On January 3, 2081, a recruit by the name of Fisher, just a week from graduation, deserted from the Camp taking a combat shotgun, ten boxes of shells, salvage recon, and other gear. The incident resulted in Sergeant Wilson modifying the recruiting strategy used by Lt. Taggerdy, starting a pattern of elitism and preferring military veterans in recruiting, something that would come to bite the faction back, hard, years down the road. However, the Camp's training continued and when the Brotherhood was formed around 2082,<ref>[[Squire Asher's journal]]</ref> it provided a steady stream of new troops for the organization. Although some couldn't take the strain - as was the case with one K. Kelly, who took her own life on November 9, 2083, unable to live on after losing most of her family and loved ones - others excelled, as was the case with [[Tex Rogers]], who received a commendation on March 26, 2086, from Wilson, the very first he issued since the Great War. As this came just as the situation around Huntersville was heating up, the timing was impeccable.<ref>[[Camp Venture terminal entries]]</ref>

Although the Camp could continue for the foreseeable future, the appearance of the [[scorchbeast]]s and the [[Scorched]], coupled with Taggerdy's steep recruitment criteria meant the Camp's life expectancy was drastically reduced. Losses taken in containing the Bog's scorched threat and refusal to cooperate with other factions led to the Camp being shuttered in July 2093, with remaining personnel reassigned to Fort Defiance, [[Thunder Mountain power plant]], and defense stations along the Bog's perimeter. The remaining Squires were immediately assigned combat duties, completing their training in practice, while Wilson was promoted to Fort Defiance executive officer.<ref>[[Fort Defiance terminal entries#93-JUL-20|Fort Defiance terminal entries]]</ref>
