 Capt. Wendell Coates, plans and training officer of the artillery unit which fought the fires, revealed that modern warfare equipment, in- cluding the jeep and two-way radio communication with the "walkie- talkie" was used to full advantage.
 Called from their garrison at Fort Ord by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, troops proceeded to the scene in convoy formation and established a base of operations same tactical maneuver troops would use to engage an enemy in combat.
 Troops Directed by Radio
 From the operations base, troops were carried over miles of rough and hilly terrain by jeeps. Oficers to the rear were kept informed con- stantly of fire fighting progress by two-way radio communication.
 In this manner officers shifted men to the most dangerous areas as 8 high wind whipped the blaze in attacks on new sectors.
 u WdS dIl cACCllc1lL 1Id1lcuVcL and gave the men wonderful train ing for actual combat operations" Captain Coates commented. Even the kitchen force far behind the lines was included in the training when faced with the problem of transporting food and water to the troops"

 Fire Covered 27,OOO Acres

 Men and equipment were taxed to their fullest and performed we'll" the lieutenant said.
 Difficulties of the fight were in- creased by the fact that operations were carried on in heat of Libyan desert intensity since weather tenn peratures ranging from 100 to 1l2 degrees were increased by the heat of the flames.
