The 28th National Guard Division is composed of the organized militia of this city, the States of Maryland and Virginia and a portion of Pennsylvania, and is commanded by Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, who also is commander of the National Guard of Maryland. A tentative mobilization and train- ing schedule has been mapped out by Col. Reckord and the officers of his staff together with the commanders of the separate brigades and units. These will be worked out in detail during the next several months. In fact, the commanders will be kept at the task of arranging the details so that if Congress provides the funds everything will be in readiness for the movement. ‘The proposal will involve a general movement of all organized militia from the States in the 29th Division chain to Indiantown Gap, Pa., where the latter State maintains a large State camp. According to the plans s0 far developed, all of the troops will be moved into the camp by motor train, and it will require the use of all of the motor vehicles allotted by the War Department to the various militia units to transport the troops and equipment. Regardless of the distance of the| home stations of the troops from the mobilization center, no additional time will be allowed for the camp period, it was said. All the troops will be given 15 days of training. The troops which will come from the longest dis- tance will be those in Southwest Vir- ginia, and it is expected that they will require two days of travel. However, this travel will be considered an im- portant part of the mobilization plan. When the camp is completely es- tablished, with all the units under tentage, it is estimated that there will be 8,000 militiamen in the camp. The first week in the camp, if Congress provides the funds, will be given over to the training of brigade units and less. All of the training of these smaller units, however, will have a definite objective, and that is the di- visional maneuver which is to be held for two days during the second week of the camp. The first Saturday in camp will be given over to an inspection, review and muster, the first of its kind in the history of the division. Although the division staff has held annual camp for the purpase of instruction in war games by map problems, this is the first time since the division was organized since the World War that it will have been assembled for field training purposes. All of this preparation, however, is contingent upon Congress providing the necessary funds in the annual appropriations for the militia. If the | funds are provided | unit will be ready with plans. How- | ever, if Congress frowns on the ex- pense, it was explained, the prepara- tions so far made will be considered a valuable part of the peace-time train- ing of the various units which would be involved in a general mobilization. On the other hand, the expense is uot expected to be much greater than the cost of sending the individual units to their State camps. The principal in- crease in expense is in transportation, as, for instance, Virginia troops, which usually go to Virginia Beach, will make the longer march to Indiantown, at a cost only of gasoline and other motor vehicle expense. There would not be any additional cost involved for food, etc., as the troops would consume this were they to spend their time only in their State camps. Gen. Reckord has requested the commanding officers of all units in the division to have all of their detailed plans in the division headquarters by February 1 next. By that time, prob- the divisional | ably, it will be known just how much the War Depaartment has recom- mended for appropriation to carry out the training program and how much the Budget Bureau has allowed to pass. It is not proposed to have the maneuvers until the next fiscal year; that is, the governmental year begin- ning on July 1, 1935. There will be plenty of opportunity for target practice for the Infantry units if Congress authorizes the funds for the training. It was pointed out that there now are 100 targets at the Indiantown camp, and it is planned now to increase these to 200. In addition there are a number of targets within a comparatively short distance of the proposed Indiantown camp. They are at Mount Gretna, Pa. Col. John W. Oehmann, acting commander of the local militia and commander of the 121st Regiment of Engineers, it was said at the Guard headquarters, is following closely the movement to have funds provided for the construction of an armory here for the local militia at the eastern terminus of East Capitol street, in a section of what is now Anacostia Park. Funds have been provided for the study of the proposed site and the proposed plans, including provision for a stadium where not only Guard contests could be held, but also those of other organizations. Col. Oehmann, it was announced, has just completed 35 years of service in the militia and will be awarded a bar to be attached to his 25-year service medal. He enlisted in the local militia on December 8, 1899. Corpl. Malcolm E. Wardwell and Pvt. James D. Tanner have been or- dered promoted to sergeants in Com- pany A, 121st Engineers.
