Navy Men Given
Overseas Study

WASHINGTON, April %. up

mobile overseas units close behind
the battle lines.
The continuous process of train
ing naval personnel is being pursu-
&c in the foremost battle areas
with the establishment of 19 over
seas training aids sections. A full
supply of training equipment and
officer specialists are available for
use by the ships of the fighting
fleets.
Based on the knowledge that bet
ter trained men mean fewer casual
ties, these units provide elementary,
Intermediate and advanced training
in almost any naval subject desired.
Usually the units are established
bases where ships put in for re-
fueling or repairs.
The training may be anything
from a single training film to a
regular course of several weeks.
Among the most popular subjects
are lookout training, damage con-
troll, first aid, gunnery, seamanship,
navigation, communications, recog-
milton, engineering, tactics, and
many phases of amphibious opera
tions. The material stuoied invar-
iably has direct bearing on the op-
Irrational needs of the ships.
Some of the training aids sections
have their own Quonset huts, power
plants, air-conditioning equipment,
material library, a jeep, and all Of
flee items. In addition, the section

the abolition of their protective
