BEN \ IDRK'KSEN |)t‘|Hity (oinniitniliT, < 'o. D, 18,->th Tank Battalion I told vou when we left O’Neill Friday, July 27, that I would write you and let you know all the news and what we have done and what we are going to do. We arrived at Camp Ripley, in central Minnesota, shortly af ter noon on Saturday, July 28 While the enlisted men were put ting their gear away and setting up ’housekeeping ”, the officers drew the equipment that was be ing issued for the encampment period. Tins equipment included nine fully-equipped M-47 tanks — all in excellent condition. The men were quite anxious to get started so we began work ing on our tanks within two hours after our arrival. We al most missed chow that eve ning lieeause we forgot to change our time to daylight savings time, which is one hour later than O'Neill time I p at 5 We were up at 5 o'clock Sun day morning and on the way to the field by 7 in a convoy of nine tanks and three^" wheeled vehicles. The ranges are 15 miles to the north of our camp site. This experience proved to be very exciting to most of the men as it was the first time we have had a full convoy of men from our own company. We fired . 30-calibre machine guns all day Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day of last week. Over 40 men from the company qualified on this series of "tables of fire” — a very excellent record. In fact, we lead all other companies in the tank battalion. Monday, July 29, we secured from the ranges at ^ p.m., and moved out in convoy to "tac tical bivouac” in the field. Company D arrived at the area one hour later and im mediately set up a defensive perimeter to defend the section assigned to our company. We camouflaged our tanks, tents and other equipment. Outposts were manned and field telephones were used to relay all messages to our com mand post. V'iuiiiuii nnri\ru The “aggressor force” tried to hreak our lines and we cap tured five men — including one officer. A humorous side to this: One of our men captured o u r battalion commander. He was late arriving in the bivouac area and did not know the pass word. After a delay of 10 min utes we okayed his entrance in to the area. We received a citation for our conduct during this bivouac training. I had breakfast Saturday morning with State Sen. Frank Nelson of who had flown up Fri day afternoon with the gover nors of Nebraska and Iowa and a number of other senators.
