Guire of Detroit. They will pre-
sent a brief skit.
There will be exhibitions of Army
drill, including a race over a portable
obstacle course. The sham battle,
involving tanks, land mines, aerial
bombs and artillery fire, will be de-
scribed over a Signal Corps public
address system by Lt. Charles G.
Chan, who was formerly an announ-
cer for a radio network in New York
City.
The task force will say good night
to the flag with the solemn retreat
ceremony, thus concluding the all-
day salute to Ann Arbor labor, indus-
try and agriculture.

Mobility Will
Keynote Force
Mobility is the keyword of modern
warfare and the Army Caravan task
force which will arrive in Ann Arbor
about 10 a.m. tomorrow is typical of
the Army's highly mobile mechanized
units now fighting the Axis.
More than 120 vehicles, including
1 -ton troop carriers, 2%-ton, six-
wheel trucks which transport field
kitchens, monster 22-ton carriers
which transport the two tanks, and
many other types of motorized trans-
ports will comprise the convoy.
Convoy Travels 25 Miles an Hour
The problems involved in moving
such a vast array of equipment are
many, and the maneuvers in which
American soldiers engage before fac-
ing enemy fire deal primarily in iron-
ing out the bottlenecks of traffic.
When the battalion is on the road in
march formation, it covers a stretch
of highway nearly six miles in length.
No convoy can travel faster than its
slowest vehicle and consequently the
average rate of speei for such a bat-
talion seldom exceeds 25 miles per
hour.
Long before the battalion starts its
run, an itinerary. is mapped out by
transportation officers. Railroad
crossings and road junctions are not-
ed, and bridge crossings are checked
to make sure that the bridges are
capable of supporting the weight of
the heaviest vehicles.
Route Markers Precede Force
Several trucks filled with "route
markers"- Military Police traffic
directors-start in advance of the
convoy. Soldiers are placed at rail-
road crossings and highway crossings
to direct the following convoy and to
supervise. civilian traffic.
At the rear of the convoy are sev-
eral empty trucks which pick up the
route markers and shuttle them
ahead of the convoy to advance
points where they repeat their per-
formance of guiding the battalion.
This operation assures the convoy of
following the correct itinerary and
eliminates traffic jams at the cross-
ings.
Have Short Wave Radios
The lead vehicle in a typical bat-
talion convoy and the rear vehicle
are equipped with short-wave radio
sending-receiving sets, and constant
communication is maintained so that
the head of this monstrous creature
is aware of what the tail is doing five
or six miles away.
Service trucks carrying repair and
supply stores usually follow in the
rear of the convoy where they may
assist vehicles which have fallen out
of line because of mechanical diffi-
culties.
Heavy Carriers Support Tanks
One of the more interesting fea-
tures of the convoy is the heavy roll-
ing equipment which was provided
for the Army Salute program by
Camp Campbell, Ky. There is a 33-
ton medium tank, the Gen. Sherman,
and a 12-ton light tank, which are
transported on huge 22-ton carriers.
The medium tank and carrier com-
ponent,. weighing a total of 55 tons,
pose certain problems in the matter
of crossing bridges and culverts. How-
ever, since the carrier unit has 34
wheels on six axles, the tremendous
weight is distributed fairly enough to
insure safe passage over most high-
ways.

Members of Company A watch a patrol of their unit go through
a practice night maneuver in the Arboretum Friday night. The boys
spent most of the evening getting a realistic picture of the type of
fighting they'll be encountering and using in the Pacific area. Lt.
Kenneth Rewick, foreground who conducted the demonstrations, is
here explaining the right and wrong ways to take cover when an area
is suddenly illuminated by enemy flares.
BUDDIES BR UCK, BIGEL:
Army Continues Partnership
If it is rare enough for two friends
to stick together through the vagar-
ies of induction and Army training,
what are the chances of two law
partners to continue their "partner-
ship" from original assignment right
through to officer candidate school?
This happened to two members
graduating from the first Officer
Candidate Class at the Judge Advo-
cate General's School.
Candidates Leo Bruck and Joseph
Bigel were law partners in Newark,
N.J. in January 1942. Residents of
North'Arlington, N.J., they attended
New Jersey Law School together,
graduating in the class of 1928, and
both were prominent in North Ar-
lington activities. In January Bruck
and Bigel were separated when the
former was inducted, but not for long.
In April both men were in the
Army stationed at Mitchell Field,
N.Y. where Bigel became a "top kick"
and his partner a staff sergeant, in
the same outfit in the Signal Corps.
In June of this year, both received
orders to report at the Judge Advo-
cate General's School as members of
the first Candidate Class, and now
they are slated to graduate together
on Saturday.
JAG Staff, Faculty
Loses Darr, Shields
With the departure for unrevealed
assignments of Maj. James E. Darr,
Infantry, and Capt. George C.
Shields, Quartermaster Corps, the
Staff and Faculty of the Judge Advo-
cate General's School loses two offi-
cers with months of service here.
Captain Shields was transferred to
duty here from Camp McCoy, Wis.
last December.
