OF Raider Battalion
In Maxim Attack
Heovily Armed Speeiol
Troops Are Troined in

A special raider battalion of
marines, tough fighters versed in
the most vicious types of con-
flict, carried out the August II
raid on Maxim Island, the Navy
Department announced today.
The special troops, whose name
has been kept secret until today,
also are participating in the Solo
mon Islands offensive. They have
been trained, the Navy said, to add
swiftness and stinging power to
amphibious warfare comparable to
paratoroop operations in land bat
ties.
Although today's announcement
of the raiders, identifying them by
their name, did not mention Mai.
James Roosevelt, it is known that he
is a member of the group that made
the spectacular raid on Maxim.
The raiders were heavily armed
for close-range combat and are
thrown into offensives from trans-
port vessels that have great speed
and maneuverability.
Maintain Fast Pace.
The special offensive fighters
carry complete equipment on their
backs and are expected to travel at
maximum speed of seven miles
in an hour, half running and half
walking. On longer trecks they cover
between three and five miles an
hour. Each man is a capable swim.

They are trained in varied methods

Anthony j. Drexel Biddle, they have
