Until then, everyone's stuck in a holding pattern, drinking away their sorrows. As a result, as Jackals, wildlife, and other riff-raff start to take over the highways, caravans are slowly backing up at the Outpost waiting for the roads to clear or their clearance papers to come through. When the NCRCF prison break occurred in 2281, the Outpost was forced to establish a permanent outpost at Primm, stretching its garrison to its limits and lapsing in the ability to patrol the highway and ensure its security, as regulations require the Outpost to maintain a certain minimal headcount. Unfortunately, Army command took this safety for granted, siphoning soldiers off for frontline duties. While not the most prestigious postings, they are a lot safer than being posted to the frontline along the Colorado. Soldiers posted here act as border guards, ensuring the safety of caravans moving up the highways into Nevada. Apart from clearing caravans coming in from Barstow, the Outpost asks as an administrative hub and command center for the south-eastern Mojave, responsible for protecting the stretch of the I-15 south of Primm and Highway 95 up to sectors protected by Camp Searchlight. Regardless of the intent, the statues remain a useful landmark for navigating the desert, lit up at night and easily visible in the distance to whomever passes through Ivanpah Valley. A pair of statues depicting the Rangers were erected at the edge of the outpost, memorializing the Treaty, though many interpret it as a demonstration of the Republic's might to the lands beyond the Outpost. The Outpost was established the following year under the NCR Rangers' jurisdiction, serving as a vital link between the Mojave and the core lands of the Republic. The two forces merged into one, in exchange for NCR extending its jurisdiction to southern Nevada, New Vegas, and of course, Hoover Dam.
After the Rangers realized they could not protect the Mojave alone, especially not against the Legion, the checkpoint became a historic site as the Desert Rangers of Nevada and the Rangers of the New California Republic signed the Ranger Unification Treaty in 2271. It lay abandoned for over a century after the Great War, eventually becoming a natural boundary for the territory controlled by the Desert Rangers of Nevada. Ruined vehicles stuck at the checkpoint when the bombs hit still litter the road leading into California, their rusted hulks slowly decaying in the air weather. Established before the Great War at the mountain pass between the Mesquite and Ivanpah mountains, this highway checkpoint collected tolls from travelers entering the long stretch of I-15 going through solid desert to Barstow.
