SINGING A SONG FOR SUPPER Last week
the 2nd Armd. Div. was treated to the songs and
entertainment of the Clarke College Coffee House
Theatre. The group travelled from Iowa to perform
for GIs at Ft. Hood. Here personnel of the 48th Med.
Battalion
Qualifies
On M-60
Elements of the 1st Bn. 41st
Inf. 2nd Armd. Div. were out
on Sugar Loaf machinegun
range Wednesday qualifying
it he in an
machinegun the M-60. About 30
men selected from the four com
panies of the battalion qualified
with the weapon.
Qualification with the M-60
consists of firing a zero on a
10-meter target then firing at
frontal line and oblique targets
with six-round bursts at the 10
a an in a
saturating silhouette targets at
ranges out to 1100 meters.
When firing at these long-
range targets the gunner must
have his assistant act as an
observer for his fire patterns.
The trajectory of the round is
so high that the gunner cannot
fire directly at the target but
some meters above it. So the
assistant observes with
binoculars and corrects the gun
ners' cone of fire onto the target.
This calls for some close
team-work on the part of the
gunner and assistant. But then
teamwork is all part of the in
fantry game. When you get to
live with someone as close as
you do in an infantry unit you
learn to function asJ a team
for your life may well depend
on it.
DoD Orders Cleanout
Of Unneeded Records
(ANF) Deputy Secretary
of Defense David Packard has
directed an immediate and
thorough records cleanout cam-
piagn within DoD to be com
pleted by June 30 1972.
In a memorandum to the
secretaries of military depart
ments and assistant secretaries
of defense agencies Mr. Pack
ard said "The Department of
Defense has approximately 12
million cubic feet of records in
its offices. We are accumulating
more records than we can get
rid of by retirement or destruc
tion. This has created a require
ment for purchasing new filing
equipment each year just to sat
isfy fihe increase. To solve this
problem each office must have
a thorough house-cleaning and
eliminate files not required for
efficient operation."
