FORT MEADE. Md, July q
This may be vacation time fol-
most college students, but it's
definitely not for some 1900 OF
them now here for six weeks OF
Army spit and polish.
They're the ROTC cadets from
40 colleges and universities who
for the most part. are getting
their first real taste of Army life
Said to comprise the largest
ROTC group ever to train at
Fort Meade, the encampment
opened last Monday and will
continue through August 3 when
about 100 of the cadets will be
commissioned as second lieute-
nants in the Army Reserve.
The others still have their
senior year at school to finish
before they. too, become eligible
for commissions as reserve Off
GERS. Those due to get their gold
bars already have their college
diplomas.
So far, it's been far cry from
the college campus. Reveille
sounds at $50 am. and retreat
isn't until 5:45 pm. Even after
hours, there's still plenty to do
shining boots. cleaning rifles and
scrubbing barracks. Later will
come an occasional night prob
lem or overnight bivouac.
During the fourth and fifth
weeks. the entire contingent will
move to Camp A. P Hill. Va. for
tactical training and field prob
lens. At Camp Hill. tents will re-
place Meade's reprinted frame
barracks as sleeping quarters.
Theory Becomes Practice
During the college year. a
training officer declared. the
cadets depend on lectures and
theory. Here, they translate it
into action.
The cadets get plenty of pro-
fessional help, virtually on
man-for-man basis. Some pal
regular officers and non-com-
missioned officers, assigned dur
ing the rest of the year at the
colleges represented here, handle
administrative and organiZa-
tional details. In addition, more
than 1900 paratroopers of the
Army'S crack 82nd Airborne Di-
vision from Fort Bragg. N. c.. are
detailed TO the encampment. to
provide tactical support and in
struction. They include four
companies from the 504th Air
borne Regiment and three from
the 325th Airborne Regiment.
The paratroopers, with their
shiny jump boots and morning
conditioning runs, provide a
rugged example for the cadets
The number training at Fort
Meade is almost half the entire
total Of 300 attending ROTC
camps in the Seven-State 2nd
Army area. Others are training
at the engineer center, Fort bel-
voir, Va; armored center. Fort
Knox Ky quartermaster CEN
ter, Fort Lee, Va; transporta-
ton center, Fort Eustis. Va. and
the Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
Md. The Fort Meade encamp-
ment is for the general military
sciences.
