Proof Is supplied by the actual We
hicular count Of the famed Fort
Knox, KY, First Armored Division
one Of the models of modern me-
chanized unit. Its equipment con-
sists of STA light tanks; 220 medium
tanks; 558 scout cars, Sc staff cars;
and 2017 trucks.
An Illustration Of the magnitude
Of the Army's dependence on trucks
Is the estimate that it would take
all the trucks in a city the size OF
Minneapolis, working "a hours a day
for week, to supply the army with
enough onions to season months
rations.
Trucks made their debut as In
struments of national defense dur
Ing the middle of the first World
War. Where that World war prob
lem called for manpoWer, however
tactics of today's war of mass move
ment call for horsepower-ready to
move at automotive speeds on a
moments notice with a minimum of
delay. The problems raised by these
new concepts are being solved by
Industrial ingenuity.
BULLET SEALING
TIRES ARE USED
Pneumatic tires, for example
have replaced the ancient solids,
with resulting increases in speed
and mobility. To make these rela-
lively thin tires invulnerable to gun
fire, B. F. Goodrich company tech
ncians have drawn on materials and
processes used in manufacture OF
bullet-sealing gasoline tanks for
combat airplaneS. The result Is an
inner tube which can be penetrated
by burst after burst of machine gun
fire and still retain enough air pres
sure to carry the vehicle many miles
beyond the danger zone. One of the
newest developments Is run fiat
tire which defies snipers, machine
guns and even small cannon.
But even these are not enough to
satisfy all requirements, for the
army transport service, freight di-
vision, estimates that about half of
the food used by the army is hauled
by private carriers because they are
better acquainted with highway
routes and sources Of supply.
In addition, the Quartermaster
Corps has begun to build up COL
lection OF mobile military convent
ences, mostly mounted in trailers
and drawn by 2 1-2-ton trucks. One
Of these miraculous mechanizat lions
Is a mobile bathing unit which pro-
vtdes baths. physical checkups and
fresh clothing for so soldiers per
hour.
