The Camp Crier, June 02,
1945
Atterbury-trained units are now scattered throughout the world - some in Iraq, Australia, the Philippines, Hawaii, India, and of course, Europe and Africa. The post is proud of the role it played in training troops to defeat the Axis in Europe and its present assignment to help finish the fight in the Pacific. More than one hundred units received training in Atterbury for overseas duty during the past three years. Three of them - 83rd, 30th, and 106th Divisions - played major roles in bringing about victory in Europe. The 83rd and 30th Divisions were "spearhead" units in the drive across France into Germany and the 106th took the brunt of the initial attack and delayed the Germans at the start of the Battle of the Bulge. Also Atterbury-trained was the 365th Infantry Regiment of the 92nd Division which was cited for its work during the Italian Campaign. Smaller Units. In the smaller units medical, ordnance, and military police organizations were the largest in number. Each had more than a score of outfits. Medical units included general station, evacuation and portable surgical hospitals, ambulance companies, and supply depots. Ordnance ranged from light to heavy maintenance groups, while military police included combat, escort guard, and aviation guard organizations. Also included were tank, tank destroyer, automatic anti-aircraft, engineer, quartermaster, field artillery, topographic, signal, finance, band, railway, and service organizations. Complete Listing. A complete numerical listing of organizations during the past three years follows. The first date is its arrival or activation date here and the last, its departure. In parenthesis is the name of the organization upon re-designation. |
