THE SUNDAY STAR, WAS HINGT i ON. D. C, JULY 14, 1929—PART 4. District Nat ‘With the approach of the field train- ng. LEeflm‘l next month, officers and men pf the National Guard of the District Bf Columbia are making preparations the departure to camp. Equipment being gathered together and made feady for the advance guard which will carry it to camp, and have it in lace by the time the main body of oops arrive, lecture courses are being Dflmnd out, and mimic warfare lems are’ being prepared to test e results of the armory training dur- ing the Winter months. It has just so happened’ that at a time when the units are busiest get- ting ready for the annual jaunt the qguartermaster had to pick up his sup- plies and move out of one of the hotel prmories on the Union Station plaza, gnd dump his loads of equipment into B rented store room on lower Pennsyl- vania avenue. While the moving has been completed, it will take some time, With the limited help allowed the guartermaster, to get it all sorted out, and put on shelves yet to be built. In the meantime, there likely will be requisitions coming from the various units for necessary pieces of equipment to fit up their organizations to take the fleld for training daty. While every effort will be made to put the property in orderly shape as rapidly as possible so that it may be issued when needed,'it is a stupendous task. All of it must be sorted out and placed on shelves where it can be easily obtained. This work has to be done with very little help, and with nothing like the equipment which would be furnished to a Regular Army quarter- master who might be called upon to make such a move. Capt. Fletcher F. Bernsdorff, the focal quartermaster, has just completed B special course of study at the Army Quartermaster School at Philadelphia, but, according to officials of the Guard, this training cannot be used to the maximum in the present move, because of the limited help. He does not have A regular corps of enlisted men on full time duty to assist, but must depend on civilian labor for the work, and this involves a large amount of direct supervision. However, it is not expected that any bf the units will be seriously hampered In the preparation of their organizations for camp. On the other hand, it was said, the location of the store room some distance from the armory will give both officers and men some Very valuable training, because they will have to look far ahead and foresee many of their needs. In the past, with the quartermaster store room located yight in the armory where the units are drilled, it has been possible for officers to draw promptly only such zlquipmen! as they needed from time to ime. Training programs are being prepared, #nd noncommissboned officers being #chooled in the most modern methods | ©of instructing the enlisted personnel | under them so that the maximum re- | ;\‘m.s may be obtained from the train- | B. The training program of the 20th Division Headquarters, composed of of- | ficers from the militia of this city and the States of Maryland and Virginia, has been completed by Lieut. y Charles B. Elliott, U. S. A, Regular| Army instructor assigned to this unit, Which will train this year at Camp Albert C. Ritchie at Cascade, Md. The program provides for two long trips for the officérs, one of them a terrain exercise, which will carry them over the battlefields of Gettysburg, and the other a chemical warfare demon- stration at Edgewood Arsenal, Md. The for is ional Guard 13, and will be under the direction of Maj. O. J. Bond of the Chemical War- fare Service of the Army, and the sec- ond will be held on August 16. The usual 24-hour command post exercise will be held also this year. During this exercise a regular division headquarters, with the necessary sub- headquarters, will be set up in the nea by mountains, -and miles of communi- cation lines will be laid along the road- sides in an effort to defeat an imaginary enemy. The officers will have regular war maps, and by means of orders is- sued from time.to time, and reports received from outpost stations, will work out a war problem under the guidance of the Regular officers. They will live for 24 hours under actual field service conditions. In this work they will have the sup- port of the division signal company from Norfolk, Va., and the air service of the Maryland National Guard. Other features of the program follow: August 12, solution of war problems and organization, including the preparation of combat orders, dispatch of messages, te., all based on the Battle of Gettys- ; August 14, a conference on mobi- lization plans; August 15, a map prob- lem, involving & movement of troops by rail, and another map problem on Au- gust 17. Sunday will be a day of rest for the personnel, and the second week will begin on Monday with a flank guard map problem; August 20, & terrain exer- cise, dealing with reconnaissance and attack; August 21, a map problem, deal- ing with supply. The camp will coi clude on August 24, with a conference at which there will be a critique of camp work and a discussion of the stafl training schedule for the ensuing year. In order to carry out their training properly, it has bsen suggested to the officers that they take. to camp with them the fleld service regulations, the fleld service staff manual, command, staff and logistics, text book, tactical principles and decision, tables of organi- zation, reference data and combat orders, Brigade headquarters has received from Miss Mabel R. McComas, hostess of the Service Club, located on Lake Royer, in Camp Ritchie, a letter stat- ing that she would be glad to make reservations at the club for members of the local Guard. The club is operated under the direction of the camp in a large stone building erected by the Maryland National Guard. Special rates are provided for the families of the en- listed personnel. Capt.
