THIRD CORPS AREA
PLANS MANEUVERS
Mobilization Prospect Disclosed by
Chief of National Guard
Bureau,

Preparations are under way for the
maneuvers in the Sd Army Corps
area, it was disclosed to National
Guard officers by Maj. Gen Albert H.
Banding, chief the National Guard
Bureau of the War Department.
While he gave no details. it is ex-
pected the local militia, along with
others IN the 29th Division, which
includes units in Maryland and Vir-
ginia and portion of Pennsylvania
might be included.
If the Guard is taken into the
plans. then it is probable there will
be another mobilization of the 29th
Division, the second in its history
and thus will give the Guard officers
opportunity to test out plans and
problems which they have been
working out on paper in the field
encampments for years. Gen. Bland
ing pointed out that the area head
quarters. which is at Baltimore. Md.
considers this matter as of outstand-
ing importance and is putting forth
strenuous efforts to make the maneu-
verS a success.
Already the 29th Division Head
quarters is planning to hold Its train
ing program in the vicinity Of Win
chester, and has asked permission to
hold mobile camp, which would be
moved from day to day as the cam
paign progresses. However, 50 far
this program has not been approved
by the corps area headquarters, and
it is probable that it Is being con-
sidered in connection with the ma
neuvers about which Gen. Banding
informed the militia.
Whether motor transport will form
an important part of the coming ma =
neuvers is q matter which probably
will be given serious consideration, in
view of the statement of Gen. Bland
ing that the conduct of trafic on
the public highways continues to be
a serious problem, and the best regu-
lated motor convoy presents . real
problem to faster-moving civilian
vehicles. He pointed out the rail-
roads were showing real efforts to
assist in the movement Of troops,
both in providing low fares and facill-
ties for prompt dispatch. This taken
together with the problem of move
ments along the roads with motor
trucks, may mean that the troops
may be taken to the mobilization CEN
ters by rail, and then their move
ments from there to the various
theaters Of operations would be by
motor transport. as would be cone
under most conditions in actual field
service.
Gen. Blanding pointed out much
experience was gained last year in
the maneuvers in Massachusetts,, and
steps had been taken to correct some
faults found at that time, and par

1t is the time when a feeling of uni
