Embarkation control for invasion of Southern France.
No full textThe control aspect of embarkation procedures is one that cannot be too strongly emphasized nor its importance exaggerated in the mounting of a large-scale operation such as the one described herein. The control developed by the embarkation group concerned with the mounting of 7th Army forces from the Port of Naples for the invasion of Southern France is noteworthy and will be the one discussed in this outline. Commencing with the time a unit is notified by Task Force Headquarters to prepare for movement to the staging areas for embarkation until the time that the unit actually embarks, the control maintained by the embarkation group must never be relaxed in order that the success of the operation will not be impaired or jeopardized. In preparing for the invasion of Southern France, it was planned that the mounting of the large majority of the troops involved (7th Army augmented and reinforced) would take place from the Port of Naples, Italy. The responsibility for the reception, staging and embarkation of these units was placed on the Commanding General, Communications Zone (formerly SOS NATOUSA) MTOUSA. Headings include an introduction, formation of the embarkation group, control instructions and forms, and a summary

Field therapeutical expedient- exhaustion center for neuro-psychiatric injuries.
No full textReport no. 383, 7 December 1944. Source: Lieutenant Colonel Fredrick Barrow stationed at McGuire General Hospital, Richmond, Virginia, and former Chief Divisional Surgeon of the 39th Infantry Division in France and England. The large incidence of neuro-psychiatric injuries and disabilities during the French campaign has led to considerable advance in specific therapy. It was conclusively demonstrated that immediate treatment of neuro-psychiatric cases at the front lines was more effective than delayed treatment in rear areas, after evacuation, and in connection with this, the medical battalions of the 29th Division devised a front line "exhaustion center"

G.H.Q. Exercise "Spartan" : comments by Commander-in-Chief Home Forces.
No full text“SPARTAN" was the first large-scale G.H.Q. Exercise with troops since "BUMPER" and, coming at a time when petrol and rubber restrictions had seriously curtailed formation training, it caught us "short of a gallop". In order to enable two complete armies to take the field large scale improvisation, particularly with regard to signals, was also necessary, and the events of the exercise as a whole must be judged against this background before any deductions or criticism can be made.
