Md, to the A. P. Hill Military Res
ervation, Va, for maneuvers will
be completed tomorrow as the SOL
diers begin final preparation for the
fall trek to the Carolinas to join
other divisions Of the 1St Army.
Although 1000 troops of the divi-
sions 88th Brigade Combat Team
set up a base camp at the Vir-
giria reservation Friday. the camp
resembled a ghost town last night,
because of a general exodus on
week end leaves.
Last Chance for Leave.
Making up the brigade, Virginia
soldiers of the 1l6th and 176th
Infantry Regiments and the 111th
Field Artillery were taking advan-
tage Of the last opportunity to visit
their home towns before beginning
about two and a half months of
maneuverS.
A second convoy, including about
800 officers and men of the I'd
Battalion Of the 176th Field Ar
tillery, a Pennsylvania unit. arrived
at A P. Hill yesterday from Fort
Meade, but the bulk of the re-
naming 10000 division troops will
be on the move tomorrow.
Although most of the movement
is being directed around Washing
ton to avoid congeSting traffic, at
least one convoy will move through
the District at o'clock in the morn
ing. Eight members of the Metro
politan Police traffic division have
been assigned to escort a convoy of
353 trucks from the District line on
Bladensburg road across the city to
Highway Bridge.
Moved In Shifts.
The division will remain at A. P.
Hill Reservation for two weeks to
engage in preliminary field training
designed to tougher the men for the
longer maneuvers to follow in the
CarolinaS. Officers of the 88th Bri-
gade said yesterday that a three
day maneuver. patterned after the
one recently completed by the di-
vision near Beltsville, Md, prob
ably would begin Wednesday.
The division has had to move
from Fort Meade to A. P. Hill in
shifts" due to a shortage of trucks
The vehicles had no sooner arrived
with the advance units Friday when
they returned to Maryland for other
troops.
