By BILLY R. SHEPHERD
One thing both active and retired soldiers
still have in common is the memory of
many passing hours in the field experienc-
ing the “hurry up and wait” aspect of the
training schedule. The 1st Cav. Div. has
solved this problem with a classroom on
wheels called the Mobile Learning Center.
SIMILAR TO A mobile library operating
in a civilian community the Mobile Learn-
ing Center operates in the division’s tac-
tical operations areas and field training
sites. It offers a variety of learning aids
which not only fill gaps in the training
schedule but also help sharpen MOS skills.
The learning center is housed in an M820
expandable van carried by a five-ton truck.
Inside are eight Bessler CuSee TEC (audio-
visual) machines which accommodate two
soldiers each. The machines play audio-
visual tapes which are based on the Skill
Qualification Test concept.
The center is powered by one of two ten-
kilowatt generators transported in a trailer
First Team organizer
Thousands of soldiers have contributed
to the tradition of the cavalry but no one
contributed more than the division’s first
commanding general. Maj. Gen. Robert L.
Howze organized the unit in 1921 and for
doing so he is known as the founder of the
division.
Howze’s life spanned more than six de-
cades of great change in America and his
Army career of 38 years saw his beloved
cavalry move from the days of Indian-
fighting pony soldiers to the advent of
mechanization and armor. His was the age
of transition
which
spanned from the Civil
War through the Roaring Twenties.
Robert E. Lee Howze (he later dropped
the “E was born Aug. 22 1864 in
Overton Tex. He was the fifth of 11
children bora to Capt. and Mrs. James A.
Howze. Capt. Howze had been a local Civil
War hero as a member of Hood’s Division.
AS A TEENAGER young Howze set his
mind on attending the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point. He succeeded and
in 1888 he graduated as a second lieutenant
and was assigned to a cavalry unit.
Howze was a lieutenant with the 6th Cav.
in the Dakotas when on New Year’s Day
1891 his 53-man detachment was attacked
by more than three hundred Sioux Indians.
In twenty-below-zero weather Howze re
HAVE YOU EVER thought about acting
in a Shakespearean play? Now’s your
chance to give it a try. The Ft. Hood
Workshop Theatre will hold auditions for
William Shakespeare’s “MacBeth” on
Thursday evening Aug. 24 from 7-9 p.m. in
Cabaret Music Annex Building 303. This is
the a tte to produce a
Shakespearean work on Ft. Hood and
follows a six week series of classes which
was designed to give abetter understand-
ing of Shakespeare and his theatre. Briefly
MacBeth” is a ghost story/murder
mystery which has retained its great
popularity for more than 360 years due in
large part to the perplexing relationship
between MacBeth and Lady MacBeth and
their ambitious plans which lead to murder
upon murder. The cast calls for 7 women 2
boys and 14 men. Previous attendance at
the Shakespeare Workshop is not required

pulled by the truck. Lights inside the center
may be switched so they automatically go
off when the door is opened making the
center “light secure” for night operations.
The center is also air conditioned and heat-
ed so soldiers can learn in comfort.
“The Mobile Learning Center is a great
solution to what was a nagging problem”
said one 1st Cav. company commander.
“In the past concurrent training meant
sacrificing some of the effectiveness of the
original operation because concurrent
training used to cause lots of scheduling
and transportation problems. The Mobile
Learning Center has made concurrent
training as simple as arranging for the
center to come to the field site” he con-
tinued. “And we can’t match the consistent
quality of the training the soldiers re-
ceive.”
THE MOBILE LEARNING Center is
available seven days a week and once it
arrives on a site it can be ready for opera-
tion in a matter of minutes. The NCOIC
Sgt. John Doherty said the greatest advan-
tage to the center is that troops can use it
Howze: horse to tanks
pulsed several attacks led counterattacks
to break up the Indian formations and held
his ground. So determined was the defense
that not a single soldier died in action. He
was awarded the Medal of Honor for his
valor on the battlefield.
“No more gallant officer fought in the
war against Spain” is how Theodore
Roosevelt described Howze during the
Spanish-American War.
Two years later Howze was in the Philip-
pines where he led a daring expedition of
the 34th Volunteers to rescue a Lieutenant
Commander Gilmore and twenty-seven
other Americans who were prisoners of the
Filipino leader Aguinaldo. For the success
of that mission Howze received a tem-
porary promotion to the rank of brigadier
general of volunteers a recommendation
for a second Medal of Honor and official
thanks from the Secretary of War.
IN 1916 HOWZE was serving in his
permanent rank of major as a squadron
commander of the 11th Cavalry. He joined
Pershing’s expedition against the Mexican
bandit Pancho Villa. Howze’s squadron
traveled more than 1000 miles in three
weeks without rest. Part of the expedition
was “Howze’s Ride” a forced march of 75
miles after which the 11th’s troppers
engaged the bandits and killed 61 of them.
Arts and Crafts Centers offer classes
for participation. Auditions are open to
military dependents and the general
public. For additional information you can
call Mr. Dan Yount at 685-5346 at the
Cabaret Music Annex. The building is
located on Battalion Ave. near 31st St. with
parking in the Palmer Theatre parking lot.
THE ARTS & CRAFTS Branch of
Recreation Services is the proud recipient
of the First Place Award for Program Ex-
cellence of the FORSCOM level of the 17th
Innerservice Photography Contest. The

Mr. Teller accepted the award and ex-

as much or as little as the situation
permits. “Instead of sitting around and
wishing they were back in garrison
soldiers can do something constructive
while waiting for their next mission” said
Doherty. “Troops can spend 20 minutes or
two hours in the center and the time will be
well spent.”
The center has over 200 TEC tapes cov-
ering every combat MOS and many of the
support specialities. The center also car-
ries soldiers’ manuals and field manuals
relating to the same subjects.
The Mobile Learning Center isn’t popular
just with commanders soldiers enjoy us-
ing it too. “It’s a good break from the field
routine” said one 1st Cav. trooper. “The
SQT training is especially valuable and I
feel I really benefit by the time I spend in
the center.”
While the Mobile Learning Center won’t
completely replace personalized instruc-
tion members of the division find it helps
pass many hours of field duty. Soldiers who
are waiting for their next move can relax
and learn in the comfort offered by the
Mobile Learning Center.
The exploit won Howze a promotion to
lieutenant colonel.
By August 1918 Howze wore two stars.
He took command of the 38th Div. and took
them to fight in World War I. He served in
the Meuse-Argonne offensive and took
command of the famous 3rd (“Marne”)
Div. which he marched to the Rhine and
into Germany. He brought them home in
1919 when he was reassigned to Mexican
border duty in command of the District of
El Paso.
He organized and took command of the
1st Cav. Div. Sept. 121921. This was the on-
ly mounted division among the ten regular
Army divisions created by the Army re-
organization of 1920. When the division was
organized it had two cavalry brigades
each having a machine gun squadron.
There was also the 1st Cav. Div. Head-
quarters and the 1st Cav. Div. Special
Troops which consisted of the 27th Ord.
Co. 1st Sig. Trp. and a veterinary com-
pany. Five more units which were part of
the 1st Cav.’s development were the 82nd
FA Bn. 1st Cav. Div. Trains Co. the 8th
Engr. Sqdn the Ambulance Co. and the 1st
Med. Sqdn. The Trains Co. had four pack
train units and two wagon companies.
Howze commanded this division until a
year before his death in 1926.
