Troop Carriers Have
Arrived In State

Two trOOp-carrying amphibious
tractors from LetterkenDv Ord
nance Depot, Chambersbury, Pa
arrived this week. They win be
used In training by the Army Re-
serve 54Oth Amphibious Tractor
Battalion during the winter.
Report Of the vehicles arrival
came from Captain Clarence p
Campbell, Army Advisor to the
54Oth, at the Reserve TRAINING
Center in Seaford.
The 540th has companies with
home stations in Seaford and DO
yer as we'll as Fort Miles. One of
tho huge ,26 foot long, is ton trac-
tors will 90 to Seaford for the
company there as soon as proner
accommodations for it can be ar
ranged.
The tractors better known as
Amtracs or "saTdine cans" repre-
sent part of the Armys amphibi-
Gus landing arsenal. Chiefly troon
or cargo-carrying vehicles, thew
are designed to effect a beach
head during an amphibious attack
In cooperation with amphibious
tanks and other weapons.
The 54Oth which is the only Re-
serve Unit of its kind in the conn
try. learned to operate the am
tracs last month during its sum
mer training encampment at the
y. S. Naval Amphibious Training
Base. Little Greek. va.
The unit practiced beachhead
landings after their tractors were |
launched from Naval Landing |
craft. Such landings, being dim !
'ult and intricate operation will |
lot be attempted by the Reserv- |
cts during their weekly meetings /
his winter But they will learn
ne maintenance requirements of
heir Amtracs, and may drive them
occasionally over the sand dunes
It Fort Miles.
Those sand dunes are one Of the
,ig reasons why Delaware was
hosen to have an Amphibious Re-
erve Unit. Such terrain is con
idered ideal training ground for
mphibiOus operations, Offering
ealistic conditions similar to
hose which might some dav be
aced in combat.
