Guard units have been enabled Ia
carry out some OF their tactical plans

the operation has been expensive, es-

tAln vehicles, such as tactical ye.

Apparently taking cognizance of
this handicap, the War Department
has issued an order, for the purposes

commanding officer of the particular

troops to be moved, transport them to
camp and then return to their homes
At the beginning Of the encampment.
At the conclusion Of the training
period they had to repeat the trips.
It also proved expensive from . pay
standpoint. as the drivers had to be
furnished by the States to which the
trucks were allocated, and the enlist
