Field Artillery Regiment are interested
tn the proposed training program for
the Summer of 1925 for the regiment.
AS this regiment was ordered into
active duty status for the two weeks
this past Summer, it will be the turn
of the 314th Regiment to go to Camp
Meade this Summer.
1t is understood that the 313th Regi-
ment will probably be ordered into
a two weeks training camp. The
camp no doubt will be located on the
Fort Myer Va reservation. This
will give the reserve artillerists the
cooperation OF the officers and men
of the 18th L. S. Field Artillery, the
organization at Fort Myer. Col Le-
roy Heron, commanding officer of the
S13th Field Artillery. no doubt will be
the commanding officer of the camp.
A Regular Army officer from the
Field Artillery will be in camp as
the instructor. 1t is believed that
Capt. Golden, 9Th Field Artillery, will
he the officer selected for this detail.
Capt. Golden is personally acqua inted
with many of the local officers, as he
has been on duty at Camp Meade
the mess officer for the past two
training camps.
1t is felt that this type Of camp.
a camp on a Regular Army post with
one other organization of the regu-
lar service, will prove very beneficial
10 the reserve field artillerymen.
Probably some definite information
will be available by the next meet
Ing of the 313th, which viii be held
On the third Thursday of February.
