Campbell subsequently joined the Army at Fort MacArthur, San Pedro, Calif. in 1941. By that time, he had completed four years of high school and was unmarried at the time of his enlistment. He joined the 10th Mountain Division at Ft. Lewis, Wash. and also served at Camp Hale, Colo., Fort Ord, Calif., Kiska Island, Alaska, and later Camp Swift, Tex. and in Italy. Campbell was assigned to Company A of the 87th Infantry Regiment, later he was in the Medical Unit of the 87th, the Mountain Training Group, Medical Unit of the 10th, and Headquarters of the 87th Infantry Regiment.
