Camp Wheeler was a United States Army base near Macon, Georgia. The camp was a staging location for many US Army units during World War I and World War II. It was named for Joseph Wheeler, a general in the Confederate States of America's Army and in the U.S. Army in the Spanish-American War. Among units that staged there was the 7th Infantry Division. A 1,000-bed hospital and a prisoner-of-war camp were included in the World War II camp. Today, the Herbert Smart Macon Downtown Airport and Ocmulgee East Industrial Park occupy the site of the former camp.
