is made up of tank and motorized artillery, cavalry and infantry d. visions. It is highly mobile, has fast and powerful striking force. It is essentially an army of attack.
 The Third Army, of 330,000 men, is three times as strong and IS made up chiefly of infantry, cav airy. anti-tank and aircraft diyi- sions. It too operates extensively on wheels but basically it Is a defensive army For the purpose of these games, both armies have attached to them an equal number of aircraft. Also, the participat- ing parachute battalions are oper- ated by General Headquarters and alternate between the two armies to give both practice in using and opposing these surprise fighters who drop down from the sky
 The terrain in this rugged low land has been a tremendous handl- cap to the Second Army. With a water table only two feet below surface level, the tanks and armored cars have been compelled to keep largely to the hard-surfaced roads, which are few and far between. So to minimize losses from air bomb- ing, the mechanized Second Army has had to move largely at night to take up positions to fight the next cay. This has meant a terrific strain on men and equipment which they met with amazing res llience and stamina. These boys and their machines are tough and sturdy, and in wide open country they would have run the Blues ragged.

RAIDS BEHIND THE LINES

The Third Army has taken full advantage of the breaks given it by the terrain. Its underlying strategy has been to keep out of the way of the mechanized forces and then to swarm over them from the Hanks and the rear.
 The Third Army's combat patrols have displayed signal aggressive ness and resourcefulness. They have raided far behind Red lines, disrupting communications and supplies and forcing Red CHG to eyacuate hastily in order to avoid

One thing these war games have proved is that the citizen soldiers are in superb physical condition.
 These boys are a magnificent looking crowd;, fit, hard, keen-eyed, enthusiastic and amazingly well in- formed Nobody is kidding them about anything. They are we'll behaved, courteous, but frank and straightforward.
 Conclusive evidence of the fit- ness and discipline of this mans army is the fact that AWOLs and sick reports during maneuvers have been practically non- existent.
