afternoon for the Virginia hills, where
they will engage in two-day maneuver,
under the direction of Capt. Louis M.

and the organization went into camp
last night.
The maneuvers were planned to give
the organizations practical field train
ing including test of mobilization,
equipping for field service, purchase of
rations in the open market, organized
road march, reconnaissance of position
and shelter tent pitching. The or
ganization went into camp about II
miles from Washington on the Wash
ington- Richmond highway. During the
evening, one of the Boiling Field planes
went over the area, so that the search
light battery could pick it out with the
beams for the guns to train on.
This is the beginning of a series of
maneuvers to be held on week ends
prior to the departure of the organiza-
tions to Fort Monroe, Va, for their
annual period of field training.
