FIGHTING FORCE AMPLE
With large force already at Texas
City, Tex. this would give the United
States force ample to intervene in
northern Mexico and carry on a cam
paigna until reinforcements could be
rushed from the north.
According to the plans already
mapped out by members of the army
| war college, a portion of the troops
now in Texas City would in time OF
war embark on two army transports
that are now. held at Galveston and
proceed Immediately to Vera Cruz
under convoy of portion of the At
lantic fleet already in the gulf of
Mexico. Landing these at Vera Cruz
coincident with crossing the border
by the regiments at Forts Bliss and
Huachuca. would give the United
States the advantage Of having two
great forces converging on Mexico
City. one from the north and the other
from the east, which would prevent
any combined resistance by the Mex
|ican army.
