Europe Shift to New
Training Center

Headquarters European Com

quarters European Command an
nounced last week that on Septem-
Der Is, the training center for Ne
gro troops located at Grafenwohr,
Germany, was consolidated with a
newer center now in operation at
Kafertal, near Mannheim, Bavaria.
Negro troops at Grafenwohr who
had completed training were slated
to take up assignments at posts
where their services were needed.
Those who had not completed their
training were shifted to Kafertal.
The European Command stated
that on the consolidation date the
six companies of the 370th and
371st Infantry Battalions, composed
of Negro troops, which had COM
pleted training at Grafenwohr,
were to be assigned to essential
duties requiring trained combat
type troops within the United
States zone of Germany. Two COM
panies of the battalions, originally
planned f r use as Constabulary
Forces which had not completed
their training were shifted to the
Kafertal Center. The shift to
Kafertal, Headquarters officials
stated, was necessary because the
climate and facilities at Grafen-
wohr were not suitable for winter
training.
The mission of the Kafertal
Training Center has been revised to
include the receipt of all Negro re-
placements arriving in the Euro
pean Theater from the United
States. The center will screen all
incoming requirements and provide
for their training where required
before assigning the new troops
to operational units. Negro person
mel from inactivated units and
other casual sources within the
Command will be received at the
training center, as well as a limited
number of trainees from active
units.
