Valley Forge Improvements Valley Forge encampment was a trying time for the Continental Army’s NCOs. I believe that two of the biggest concerns there were was sickness and disease along with the arrangement of the camp. When an army has soldiers and other civilians living in such tight quarters it becomes very difficult to stay healthy with poor living conditions that include no showers, wet floors, and the lack of a plan for human waste. It is the responsibility of leaders to develop a strategy to handle those matters. To say the least, the living quarters that these soldiers lived in were inadequate. The men were told to build sixteen by fourteen foot huts that accommodated 12 soldiers and sometimes were just merely bigger than half that
