Despite local pleas to keep Company 1475 in Tracy City, the CCC company was moved in June 1938 to Camp S-80 south of Sewanee at the northern edge of what is now Franklin State Forest. There it completed many projects, including part of the first modern road from South Pittsburg to Sewanee, now known as Jumpoff Road, as well as a fire tower, a watchman's cabin, and roads and trails within the State Forest. A camp inspection report also indicated that a variety of work was done at the University of the South. Guard rails and retaining walls along US 41A to Cowan, Old CCC Road in the Sherwood Forest area of South Cumberland State Park, and dams, shelters, and other structures in and around Sewanee and on the University of the South campus were built by the young men of Company 1475. The company was officially disbanded when the CCC program ended in 1942 because of the onset of World War II. During the war effort, the CCC's portable buildings were used by the military to quickly build training bases, and many of Company 1475's buildings are thought to have been moved to Camp Forrest in Tullahoma, now Arnold Air Force Base, a U.S. Army training facility that later became a prisoner of war camp for German soldiers. Many men who took part in the CCC program used the skills they learned to become effective military leaders, and recruits with CCC backgrounds could expect a higher starting grade or quick promotion because the military valued that experience. As the 1937 CCC Annual observed, many men were taught to read and write, hundreds were taught trades that helped them secure jobs, and nearly all were better trained in discipline, character, mental alertness, and associations with their fellow men than before coming to the company.
