test of man and metal Much of the value from Desert Raider II will be shaking bad habits that may have been picked up during REORGER when a January thaw kept the 197th roadbound At times it would seem

year the first to test a new training phase one that lasts 20 days instead of the 14 days that all other units here have undergone The rotational test period prac ticed here in first four years consisted of two free ma neuver phases and a live fire phase 14 days the With pre maneuver preparations and the inevitable turn in period a unit could be at ort Irwin about 20 days The expanded rotation being tried by the 197th provides four days to be used at the com discretion Another first awaits the bri gade here In the past only parti cipating battalions were evalu ated Brigade headquarters played a large part of course but was not evaluated except in ternally This year brigade head quarters operations will be evalu ated during the opening attack phase of the 25 days There seems no question that some changes will have to be made to provide proper testing for Guard and Reserve units Even with the 14 day schedule the stretch out time is at least 20 days and nearly a week more than many employers give reservists and guardsmen That is why the smoke generator com pany from South Carolina will not be joining the 197th for another week and will participate only in the defensive phase of Desert Raider II not fair to the units which in many cases round out active duty divisions like the soon to be 10th Mountain Division at ort Drum and ort Benning Its round out brigade probably from New England will be denied the advantages of this type of train ing almost a sure bet that there will be pressure on employers to add an extra week for their em ployees who devote time off to honing military skills PLAY DAILY AND WIN YOUR SHARE Ol UP TO $1 0000 IN CASH PRIZES IN THIS POPULAR NIW LEDGER ENQUIRER GAME!
