Main entrance to Fort Leavenworth

Fort Leavenworth today is a picturesque,tree-shaded military reservation of some 6,000acres abounding with historical markers, monu-ments, and structures that graphically aid theobserver in bridging the gap from the presentto the rich heritage of the past. In addition tothe U. S. Army Command and General StaffCollege and a multitude of fine Post facilities,Fort Leavenworth is the site of a NationalCemetery, the US Disciplinary Barracks, theMidwest Relay Station, and an air defense mis-sile battery.

Centrally located in the heart of the UnitedStates on the western bluffs of the MissouriRiver, Fort Leavenworth was founded in 1827.In May of that year, an expedition of four in-fantry companies under the command of ColHenry Leavenworth landed in keel boats at thepresent site of the Post to establish a permanentmilitary garrison for the protection of overlandtrade along the Santa Fe Trail. The locationselected by Colonel Leavenworth was approvedby the War Department and the new outpost

was designated "Cantonment Leavenworth."The following years were busy ones for thegarrison which was charged with the missionof keeping peace between Indians and traderswhile protecting the interests of the Govern-ment. Later, as the westward movement ofimmigrants opened the Oregon Trail in 1845,protection of caravans and the exploration ofterritory along this route were added to the mis-sions of Post troops. By mid-nineteenth centurythe Post, now designated "Fort Leavenworth,"had become a main depot from which the mili-tary outposts of the West were supplied, andan important station of cavalry troops engagedin the protection of settlers and Governmentagencies from the marauding Plains Indians.

The signing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act inMay 1854 triggered a rush of claim-staking"Free Staters" and "Slave Staters" into thesenew territories west of the Missouri River. Theensuing border troubles between the two fac-tions frequently required the intervention ofmilitary forces from Fort Leavenworth. During

this same period, military operations weredirected to suppress the ever more hostile In-dians, as the tribes in the area were forcedfrom land and livelihood by the settlers. Thecity of Leavenworth, then situated 3 miles southof the Post, became the first incorporated townin the Kansas Territory in June 1854, and thefirst territorial governor established his officeand quarters at the Fort in October of thatyear.

With the outbreak of the Civil War, FortLeavenworth served as a base of operationsfor Federal troops in Kansas and Missouri.Camp Lincoln was established on the reserva-tion as a center for mustering in, equippingand training regional volunteers, and muster-ing them out of the Union forces as theirterms of enlistment expired. This camp was inoperation from 1861 until 1865 when the endof the war presaged a new role for Fort Leaven-worth.

The incredible hardships suffered by pris-oners of the Civil War resulted in far-reachingreforms of the existing military prison system.In 1874 provisions were made for a militaryprison to be located at Fort Leavenworth toserve as a facility for long-term prisoners thenconfined in guardhouses at each of the variousmilitary installations throughout the country.Conversion of quartermaster buildings to amilitary prison was completed in the spring of1875 and the transfer of prisoners to FortLeavenworth was begun.

The Civil War also brought about the realiza-tion that the officer corps of the Army requireda progressive system of military education inaddition to the essential qualities of leadershiprecognized in the past. Fort Leavenworth wasdestined to play a major and continuing partin this educational system. While President ofthe United States, Gen Ulysses S. Grant ordereda reorganization of the Army which providedfor formal officer schooling. As a result, GenPhilip H. Sheridan was directed to establishthe first school for advanced officer educationwithin the Military Division of the Missouri.'For some time, Maj Gen John Pope, command-ing the Department of Missouri, had urged theconsolidation of the numerous small outpostsin his area of responsibility by the establish-

The Military Division of the Missouri consisted ofthe following Departments: Texas, Dakota, the Platte,and the Missouri.

ment of a sizable garrison and military schoolat Fort Leavenworth. General Pope's recom-mendations were, to a large extent, responsiblefor the issuance of General Orders Number 42by Headquarters of the Army on 7 May 1881which directed that a School of Applicationfor Infantry and Cavalry be organized at FortLeavenworth.

Col Elwell S. Otis was appointed comman-dant of the school, an academic staff was as-sembled, and a course of instruction preparedfor the first class of 42 student officers whichcommenced in March 1882. The title of theschool was changed in 1886 to the UnitedStates Infantry and Cavalry School and con-tinuous improvements were made in the courseof instruction and the academic facilities. In1898, the Spanish-American War, and thePhilippine Insurrection which followed, causeda suspension of systematic Army education for4 years.

Fort Leavenworth was designated a per-manent post in 1902 and was garrisoned with aregiment of infantry, a squadron of cavalry, anartillery battery, an engineer battalion, a sig-nal company, and medical detachments. Thesetroop units were placed in support of the schoolwhich reopened in August of that year as theGeneral Service and Staff College. In thissame year, the remains of General Leaven-worth, who had died of illness and injuries in1834 while on campaign along the Santa FeTrail, were reinterred in the Fort LeavenworthNational Cemetery. The elaborate ceremonies,which took place on Decoration Day, were at-tended by thousands of people.

The school was again closed in 1916 for theduration of World War I. Graduates servedwith distinction during the war in key posi-tions, some commanding divisions and brigadeswhile many others were assigned high levelstaff duties. During these war years, FortLeavenworth became a training camp for in-ductees, and the school facilities were used totrain officer candidates.

The school system was reinstated at the Postin 1919 with the opening of the School of theLine and the more advanced General StaffSchool. In the years between World Wars Iand II, approximately 4,500 officers were grad-uated from the academic institution at FortLeavenworth.

When the United States was drawn intoWorld War II, for the first time during anational emergency the school continued op-erations. An expansion of the educational pro-gram and school facilities began on an un-precedented scale. Instruction was intensifiedas courses were shortened and the size of theclasses increased tremendously. From the 27wartime classes which were conducted, approxi-mately 19,000 graduates were provided theArmed Forces. In addition to the school, thegarrison of Fort Leavenworth again supportedthe needs of the emergency by processing hun-dreds of thousands of personnel through induc-tion, reception, and separation centers organ-ized at the Post.

The school was given its present designation,the Command and General Staff College, in1946 in recognition of its status as a higherinstitution for professional military education.An Associate Course was added the followingyear. This shorter course of instruction pro-

vided the means to train additional officers, in-cluding those from the National Guard andReserve components. In 1950, Fort Leaven-worth supported the Army War College whichwas relocated at the Post to resume operationsthat had been interrupted by the war. This col-lege was moved to Carlisle Barracks, Pennsyl-vania, after the graduation of the first classin 1951.

The Korean War made increased demandson Fort Leavenworth and the College for offi-cers to fill command and staff positions of anArmy expanding through partial mobilization.

The cold war has emphasized further the re-quirements for mature, skilled leadership inthe diversified Army of today. The chaptersthat follow deal with the activities, accomplish-ments, and missions fulfilled by Fort Leaven-worth and the U. S. Army Command and Gen-eral Staff College in keeping pace with theserequirements.

CHAPTER II

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

The tempo of routine was quickened at FortLeavenworth in 1952 as the Post and the U. S.Army Command and General Staff College metthe mobilization requirements of the KoreanWar. Many more students were in residence atthe College than in previous years. The numberenrolled in the Regular Course rose to over 500,and the Associate Courses, scheduled on a semi-annual basis, provided an increased supply ofofficers trained for command and staff duties.Although it was termed a "conflict" and foughtin a far-away country, the war remained prom-inent in the thoughts of most Army personneleven as it began to fade from the headlines. Thefierce winter battles had been fought at Bloodyand Heartbreak Ridges, and the Korean frontwas in a condition of uneasy stalemate as peacetalks were resumed at Panmunjom.

In 1952, a distinguished soldier, the honorgraduate of the class of 1926 at Fort Leaven-worth, Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, was electedto the highest office of our Nation. The hopesfor an early end to the fighting in Korea werearoused by General Eisenhower's pledge tovisit that wartorn country if elected and by theUnited Nations truce talks. However, the bitter,costly struggles for White Horse Mountain,Old Baldy, and Pork Chop Hill were still tocome.

During this same period, activity takingplace in Nevada was to require an entirelynew appraisal of the concepts for tactical war-fare. This activity culminated the followingyear in an intense bright flash and the riseof an ominous, ugly, mushroom-like cloud overFrenchman's Flat. With this successful detona-

-8-

tion of a surface-delivered, relatively small-yield nuclear weapon, military texts and tac-tical doctrine would never be the same.

Against this somber, potentially explosivebackground, the events and activities at FortLeavenworth began in 1952, the year thatmarked the 125th anniversary of service by thePost to the Army and the United States.

THE YEARS 1952-55Maj Gen Horace L. McBride, Commanding

General at Fort Leavenworth and Comman-dant of the College, welcomed the 1952 GeneralStaff Course class shortly before his departurefrom the Post to command the Army forces inthe Caribbean. His duties were assumed inApril by a recent veteran of the Korean War,Maj Gen Henry I. Hodes, who had commandedthe 24th Infantry Division, served as DeputyCommanding General of the Eighth Army, andbeen a member of the United Nations trucedelegation.

General Hodes "got his feet wet"-literally-at Fort Leavenworth almost immediately asthe melting of unusually heavy snows swelledthe Missouri River to flood stage. Hand to handcombat was waged against the surging, muddywaters by an improvised task force of person-

nel calling themselves the "Fort LeavenworthRiver Rats." Organized from the Post garrison,including the Army Band, inmates of the Dis-ciplinary Barracks, civilian employees, staffand faculty members, and student officers, thetask force labored for a week reinforcing andraising the dikes protecting Sherman Air ForceBase. The river waters eventually rose morethan ten feet above the runways of the airfieldlocated in the northeastern part of the mili-tary reservation. Troop units from Fort Riley,Kansas, and Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, ar-rived to assist the personnel from the Post andwork continued until, just as the battle ap-peared to have been won, a section of dike col-lapsed and forced an evacuation of the area.All of the flood-fighters were evacuated safelyunder the personal direction of General Hodes,including those stranded on the dikes who werepicked up by a hard-working engineer barge,the "Chico." The river which quickly coveredthe airfield, receded within a few weeks. ThePost resumed normal operations and prepara-tion for a combined celebration of ArmedForces Day and Fort Leavenworth's 125thanniversary.

The two-day celebration opened with a Pio-neer Parade through the city of Leavenworthon 9 May 1952. Horse-drawn vehicles from thePost Museum, with drivers and passengers at-tired in frontier dress and authentic militaryuniforms of the past, were a colorful sight tothe many spectators along the route of march.An open house at Fort Leavenworth washeld following the parade with an impressivearray of weapons and equipment on display.Troops of the 31st Infantry Division fromCamp Atterbury, Indiana, demonstrated thefirepower of a rifle company with a "madminute" of sustained fire from every availableweapon. Following a program by the Air ForceDrum and Bugle Corps and the Army FieldBand, the curtain was raised on an historicalpageant-Frontier Fort to Command College-depicting the story of the Post from earlywestern exploration to the present time. Pre-sented on two successive evenings in a naturalamphitheater south of Cody Road, the pro-fessionally directed performance, climaxed bya fireworks display, was the highlight of thescheduled festivities. The program for thesecond day included an Armed Forces Dayparade in Leavenworth, fly-overs by Air Forceand Navy aircraft, demonstrations of aerialresupply and heavy equipment parachute drops,a horse show, and the second presentation ofthe pageant. The entire celebration, the largestof its kind ever presented in the Fort Leaven-worth area, commemorated this anniversary inthe growth and development of the Post in anever-to-be-forgotten manner.

Graduation exercises for over 600 membersof the Regular Course were held the followingJune, according to custom, on the tree-shadedMain Parade-the site of the original Canton-ment Leavenworth. Secretary of the ArmyFrank Pace, Jr. delivered the graduation ad-dress, and diplomas were presented by ColMax S. Johnson, the Assistant Commandant.This class, the largest thus far in the post-World War II period, quickly dispersed to allpoints of the compass, with many of its formermembers in possession of orders for the FarEast Command (FECOM) and Eighth Armyunits in Korea.

Projects for the improvement and expan-sion of Post facilities to meet the needs of anincreasing student population continued. Thecommissary was moved from an overcrowded

location in the Post Exchange building to itspresent site along the southern part of GrantAvenue in a former consolidated mess hall.Ground was broken for 74 sets of new studentquarters in the area east of Pershing Park.

General Johnson, promoted to brigadier gen-eral the preceding November, left the positionof Assistant Commandant in February 1953for the Far East. His replacement, Col CharlesE. Beauchamp, who had commanded the 32dRegiment in the early Korean fighting, arrivedfrom Washington, D. C., to assume the respon-sibilities for the operations of the Commandand General Staff College. Within a few monthsCol Thomas B. Hediken turned over his re-sponsibilities as Chief of Staff at Fort Leaven-worth, which involved the supervision of allnon-College elements at the Post, to Col CharlesG. Meehan.

The Fort Leavenworth Museum, possessingone of the largest collections of old horse-drawnwagons, carriages, and sleighs in existence, wasreopened on Armistice Day 1953. It had beenclosed in 1950 pending approval by Departmentof the Army for use of a building large enoughto house the entire collection. Through the ef-forts of General Hodes, the museum was estab-lished in the Bluntville area of the Post in aformer stable. Its valuable and interesting col-lection of historically significant propertiesagain was placed on public display.

The Post Chapel at Fort Leavenworth, apicturesque stone structure with an interiorlined with plaques perpetuating the memory ofdeceased soldiers, held commemoration serviceson 3 May 1953. Occasioned by the 75th anni-versary of the laying of the cornerstone, theservices also dedicated a new electric organ inmemory of the officers and men of the 7th Cav-alry Regiment who had given their lives in theKorean War. Maj Melborne C. Chandler organ-ized the fund that made the purchase of theorgan possible, and Miss Margaret C. Berrywas on hand, as she had been so often in thepast, to play the organ prelude for the service.

Saint Ignatius Chapel, a Gothic style struc-ture located on the Post but the property of theKansas City Archdiocese, was in the process ofcomplete redecoration under the direction ofChaplain (Maj) Joseph M. Mollner. The chapel,already containing many historical testimonialsand memorials, was enhanced by bronze tabletshonoring the priests and military chaplains

who had served at the Post since 1869. Newstatuary and murals were also added.

As the year 1954 opened, the Post was re-visited by a former Assistant Commandant ofthe Command and General Staff College whohad gone on to win fame and the Medal ofHonor in Korea. Maj Gen William F. Deanspent several days at Fort Leavenworth enroute to his new assignment with Sixth Army.The Korean truce had become effective the pre-ceding July when a 12-minute ceremony ter-minated more than 3 years of bitter fighting.The early days of that war were vividly re-called by General Dean in an address to thestudents of the College as he described the cir-cumstances leading up to his capture, and hislong months of confinement by the North Ko-reans.

In March 1954, Maj Gen Garrison H. David-son, a former assistant commander of GeneralDean's 24th Infantry Division, was designatedto assume command of Fort Leavenworth uponthe departure of General Hodes for Europe.Requirements of General Davidson's assign-ment as senior Army member of the WeaponsSystem Evaluation Group in Washington de-layed his arrival at the post until July, andGeneral Beauchamp, who had by then been

promoted to one-star rank, acted as command-ing general and commandant during the in-terim period.

The same summer the residents of the Postand the city of Leavenworth were startled bythe arrival of a seemingly inexhaustible sup-ply of aircraft to Sherman Army Airfield.'Seventy-one liaison aircraft from Fort Sill,Oklahoma, were flown to the airfield for recon-naissance use by the students at the College.This, the largest group of aircraft ever as-sembled at the Post, conducted as many as 300individual flights a day as students closelyscrutinized the terrain adjacent to the Mis-souri River, the setting for a tactical problem"Attack of a River Line."

June 1954 was an active month at Fort Leav-enworth. Traditionally busy just prior to grad-uation ceremonies, which were held for some600 students that year, the Post prepared totake part in the Centennial Celebration withthe city of Leavenworth. The week-long cele-bration, marking the 100th anniversary of thecity's founding and the opening of the KansasTerritory for settlement in 1854, included dailyparades, historical exhibits, athletic events, pic-nics, horse shows, street dances, and numerousother festive activities. A stage spectacle-Jubilee-including 16 separate scenes portray-ing the history of the area, was presentednightly. Wednesday, 9 June, was proclaimed"Military Day" and the Band and an HonorGuard from Fort Leavenworth led troops fromFort Riley, the Centennial Queen and her court,high school bands, and other marching unitsfrom various civic organizations in a massivestreet parade.

Troops from Fort Riley participated twoweeks later in a regimental retreat parade tohonor the arrival of Secretary of the ArmyRobert T. Stevens for a conference with hiscivilian aides. Aides representing 37 states,the District of Columbia, and the six continen-tal armies were present for the conference-the first of its kind ever held. General officerspresent included the Chief of Staff of the Armyand principal Department of the Army staffmembers, and the Commanding Generals of theArmy Field Forces, the six army areas, and theMilitary District of Washington. For many of

the officers, among them Gen Matthew B.Ridgway, Lt Gen Williston B. Palmer, andMajor Generals Arthur G. Trudeau, James M.Gavin, Robert N. Young, and Gilman C. Mud-gett, the conference was a homecoming to thescene of their student days at the College.

A retirement ceremony was held in front ofSherman Hall, the Post and College Headquar-ters, on 31 July 1954 to honor Colonel Meehanwho was succeeded as Chief of Staff by ColChandler P. Robbins, Jr. General Davidson hadarrived to assume command at Fort Leaven-worth and was present with other membersof the Post and the College staff and facultyto bid Colonel Meehan farewell upon his com-pletion of 30 years of Army service.

Otis Hall, originally constructed as quartersfor bachelor officers in 1902, was the site of aninteresting event in June 1955. A plaque wasdedicated by Maj John S. D. Eisenhower, im-mediately after his graduation from the Col-lege, to commemorate the residence in the build-ing by President (then Major) and Mrs. Eisen-hower in 1925-26. The president was then astudent in the Command and Staff Schoolwhere his son John claimed to remember hisfather "sweating over his books in a study atthe top of the house."2

The housing situation at Fort Leavenworthwas becoming increasingly critical as the sizeof the College staff and faculty increased alongwith the numbers of students at the Post. Over100 student family housing units were recon-structed from four-family quarters to theiroriginal two-family design-a project which,although necessary, further complicated theproblem. Appeals for rental housing were madeby the Post to all nearby communities fromKansas City to Atchison, Kansas. Approval forthe construction of 50 Capehart duplex houseswas secured, and occupancy of the 237 sets of"inadequate" quarters in the West Normandyarea was permitted on a voluntary basis. Con-tinuing student occupancy of these convertedWorld War II barracks buildings has been per-mitted up to the present time, although planscall for them to be dismantled during 1964.With the passing of these structures from theFort Leavenworth scene, a prime topic of con-versation will have been eliminated among

those officers and wives claiming to have spentmost of the winter months adjusting thermo-stats and window openings in the old buildingsthat apparently remained frigid on the firstfloor and stifling on the second, despite all at-tempts to regulate the inside temperature.

The Fort Leavenworth Historical Committeewas organized by General Davidson to enhancethe prestige and history of the Post and theCommand and General Staff College. Originallyheaded in 1955 by Col Louis Biittner, Directorof Administration at the Post, the committeecompleted plans and initiated a program result-ing in the identification and marking of historiclandmarks, places, and buildings at Fort Leav-enworth as well as improvements and additionsto the Post Museum.

Brig Gen William F. Train had the starsof that rank pinned on his shoulders by GeneralDavidson upon his arrival to assume the dutiesof Assistant Commandant.

General and Mrs. Davidson contributed sig-nificantly to the increase in Post population inSeptember 1955 when twin daughters, BonnyElaine and Gail Marie, were born to them atthe Post hospital.

The old brick YMCA building, erected in1907 on the corner of Pope and McClellanAvenues by Miss Helen Miller Gould in memoryof her financier father, Jay Gould, was pur-chased by the Post. It was then completely ren-ovated at a cost of over $100,000, most of themoney coming from nonappropriated specialservices funds, as a facility for the use of allPost personnel for reading, study, and recrea-tion. Named the Patch Community Center afterthe late Gen Alexander M. Patch, Jr., a gradu-ate of the Command and General Staff Schoolwho later commanded the Seventh Army duringthe 1944 invasion of southern France, the build-ing was officially reopened by General Davidsonin December.

THE YEARS 1956-59General Davidson departed early in July 1956

for his new assignment at the United StatesMilitary Academy. Fittingly, one of his lastofficial acts was to participate in a rededicationof the General Henry Leavenworth monumentin a ceremony held at the Fort LeavenworthNational Cemetery on the Fourth of July. Theincoming Commandant, Maj Gen Lionel C.McGarr, and his family met officers and ladies

-12-

from the Post and members of the civiliancommunity at an official reception at the Of-ficers' Club. This social event marked the begin-ning of a 4-year tour for General McGarr8-a tour that would result in numerous improve-ments in the Post and major changes in theCollege.

Maj Gen Lionel C. McGarr

On 6 November 1956, General McGarr turneda shovelful of earth on Arsenal Hill whichsymbolically started construction of a new aca-demic building at the Post for the Commandand General Staff College. Long required andcontinually recommended, this constructionproject would create the splendid facilities ofJ. Franklin Bell Hall and provide an environ-mental setting in keeping with the importanceof the instructional mission of the College.

Ceremonies were held later that same monthin connection with academic facilities for chil-dren of dependents. The Commandant deliveredthe principal address at dedications for two ele-mentary schools on the Post. The recently com-pleted structure on Biddle Boulevard wasnamed "The General Douglas MacArthurSchool," and the other school in the Pershing

Park area, which had been in use since 1953,was named "The General Dwight D. Eisen-hower School." Messages of appreciation andcongratulations were received from both indi-viduals for whom the schools were named.

Colonel Robbins, Deputy Post Commander,left Fort Leavenworth in January 1957. Origi-nally assigned as chief of staff, his positiontitle had been changed to deputy post com-mander, although his responsibilities remainedunchanged. His successor, Col William W. Culp,was no stranger to the Post, having just servedwith the College for over 3 years on his fourthtour of duty at Fort Leavenworth.

Another major change in personnel occurredthe following July. General Train, the As-sistant Commandant, departed for the 8th In-fantry Division in Germany. More than 400 of-ficers and their ladies filled the main ballroomof the Officers' Mess to wish the General and hislady Godspeed. The gala evening featured askit concerning the general's early life andArmy career. A satire of the well-known tele-vision program, "This Is Your Life," the skitwas based on documentation and pictorial mate-rial provided by Mrs. Train. The office of theAssistant Commandant was then occupied byBrig Gen Frederick R. Zierath who had arrivedfrom an assignment with the 3d Infantry Divi-sion at Fort Benning, Georgia. General andMrs. Zierath were introduced to the officers andladies of the Post, as well as many prominentcivic leaders from the local area, at the fare-well reception for General Train.

As indicated earlier in this chapter, the Col-lege was at this time to undergo a significantreorganization and reorientation, as an entirelynew curriculum was planned and written forthe academic year 1957-58. "Keeping pacewith the future" became the watchword amongthe hard-pressed members of the College staffand faculty as this major undertaking was ac-complished successfully.

Events were rapidly taking place in manyareas at Fort Leavenworth. A new five-digittelephone dial system was installed, creatingonly temporary confusion among the many sub-scribers to the Post Telephone Exchange. Anattractive information booth was constructedof stone on Grant Avenue just inside the mainentrance as a service to the many visitors toFort Leavenworth. Plans were announced for

-13-

the construction of an additional 200 sets ofCapehart family quarters to begin in November1957, as the initial construction project to house100 families neared completion. Fort Leaven-worth received the National Safety Council's"Award of Honor for Distinguished Service toSafety" for superior achievements in accidentprevention for 1956. The award was presentedto General McGarr by the Commanding Generalof the Fifth US Army, Lt Gen William H.Arnold, who noted that the Post had receivedsimilar recognition in a Department of theArmy award for the preceding year.

The Henry Leavenworth Chapter of the As-sociation of the United States Army, whichhad been founded in October 1956, as one ofthe first local chapters of that organization, an-nounced the results of its first election in April1957. The chapter, which has since grown toone of the largest in the country and wonnumerous awards for its support of the USArmy and its national defense mission, in-stalled Harold E. Purdy of Kansas City, Mis-souri, as its first president, and a board ofgovernors composed of local civilian membersand officers of the Post. Mr. Charles S. Steven-son, who had served as temporary chairman ofthe chapter from its inception and had guidedthe initial organization, presided over the meet-ing and the installation of new officers. Sched-uled in conjunction with a chapter meetingin the Post Theater were displays and demon-strations of the latest Army equipment, anopen-air lunch for the attending members, aband concert, and tours of the Post. Gen CharlesL. Bolte, US Army, Ret., delivered the prin-cipal speech of the day.

Pope Hall, which was built prior to the turnof the century as a recreation and dance hallfor the Post garrison, was gutted by fire inMay 1957. The medieval-appearing structure,with thick walls of locally quarried stone, wasused at the time to present instruction in thetactical employment of nuclear weapons. Thefire was presumed to have been started byfaulty electrical wiring. Over $200,000 dam-age was caused before the flames were broughtunder control by Post and Leavenworth fire-men, assisted by prisoners from the Disci-plinary Barracks. The cost to repair the old,familiar building was considered prohibitive,and it was eventually torn down. Today, a metalmarker denotes the location of Pope Hall and

the former Kansas territorial capitol buildingwhich earlier stood on the same site. The areais now a parking lot.

Operation BLUBBER was brought to aclose in June as final results were announced byCol Norman W. Anderson, the Post Surgeon.The operation was an outcome of the Army-wide emphasis on physical fitness, and wasdesigned to assist overweight personnel intrimming down to a satisfactory level. Consist-ing of diets, exercise, and periodic weighingand measuring, the program was conductedthroughout the 1956-57 academic year. Re-sults indicated that will power was probablythe most important requirement for success.

The Post took on a "new look" effective withthe changeover to winter uniforms in October1957. "Pinks and greens" and olive drab-shade 33, the long-familiar semidress andduty attire for Army officers, were placed instorage as the Army Green uniform was pre-scribed for all Army personnel. Many of theout-dated uniforms later were collected anddonated to Allied armies and ROTC organiza-tions.

The Fort Leavenworth Dramatics Clubopened the Post theatrical season with a 3-dayrun of a comedy, "The Tender Trap." Althoughrecords indicate that dramatic productionshave been staged at Fort Leavenworth sincethe days when General Custer is alleged to haveappeared before the footlights, it is doubtfulthat any had been better received than thisoverwhelming success. It was unanimouslyagreed that everyone connected with the pro-duction turned in an outstanding performance.Lt Col Jean P. Meslet, the French Liaison Of-ficer to the College, who was later to deservedlygain a reputation as the "Chevalier of FortLeavenworth," starred in his first DramaticClub role.

Fort Leavenworth was mentioned with in-creasing frequency-in the press media of the Na-tion during the first half of 1958. The periodand the publicity will be remembered by manybecause of the presence at the College of Lt GenRafael L. Trujillo, Jr., son of the DominicanRepublic dictator. Because of his extracur-ricular activities, the 28-year old general be-came ineligible for the award of a graduationdiploma.

In January 1958, a group of enthusiasts ob-

-14-

tained official permission to form an off-dutyflying club at the Post. The Fort LeavenworthFlying Club was chartered for purposes of rec-reation and to stimulate interest in aviation.Its constitution and by-laws provided that itwould be self-supporting. The regulations ofthe Civil Aeronautics Association still governthe operations and maintenance of the aircraftused by the club. Lt Col Frederick St. John,Post Transportation Officer at the time, waselected the first club president. Two light air-craft, an L-17 and an L-21 which were surplusto the needs of the Army, were loaned to theclub until the club treasury would permit theirpurchase. The club has increased in popularity,membership, and scope of activities to thepresent time through its operations based atSherman Army Airfield.

The Post construction program was in evi-

dence in many parts of the military reserva-tion, with most attention directed toward thecompletion of Bell Hall. Work began in March1958 on a permanent building to contain bach-elor officers' quarters and a student field rationmess. The building was designed to improveliving conditions for the many officers withoutfamilies at the Post. These consist of a bona-fide bachelor variety as well as the geographi-cal bachelors attending the shorter Associ-ate Courses of the College for whom de-pendent travel is not authorized. Additionalmeal and snack service was provided in Aprilwhen a new cafeteria opened adjacent to thePost Exchange. The first Capehart housingproject, located south of the National Cemeterynear the junction of Cody Road and Biddle

Boulevard, was opened at the first of the year.The housing area occupies ground astride abranch of the famed Oregon Trail and, uponthe recommendation of the Fort LeavenworthHistorical Society, it was duly named "TheOregon Village."

Ceremonies to start the construction of aNike Hercules missile air defense system forthe greater Kansas City area were held in July1958 at what is now the headquarters area forBattery D, 5th Missile Battalion, 55th Artil-lery.

Students of the 7th, 8th, and 9th gradesat Fort Leavenworth began classes in a newlycompleted school building on the east side ofGrant Avenue near the main entrance to thePost. The school was dedicated in December1958 by General McGarr and named in honorof Gen George S. Patton, Jr. General Patton'sson, a graduate of the Command and GeneralStaff College, expressed appreciation of thededication to his deceased father's memory ina message read during the ceremony.

Numerous sporting events were held at thePost in 1958. The Annual Spring Horse Show,sponsored by the Fort Leavenworth Hunt, washeld under ideal conditions on a May weekend.The traditionally colorful events included equi-tation and jumping, hunter, and parade com-petition which drew contestants and spectatorsfrom miles around. Members of the Hunt re-vived an old custom in September by stagingan organized hunt ride over the rolling ter-rain of the Post. Old coaches, which had beenused to follow the hunt in earlier days, wereagain made available for transportation by thePost Museum. The Sunday morning ride endedat the Hunt Lodge where a bountiful breakfastwas served to the riders and their guests.

The Fifth US Army Tennis Tournament washeld on the Post courts during the summer, andwas followed by the 1958 Inter-Service GolfTournament in August. The highlight of thisannual golf classic was the open division playof 5-man teams from each of the services incompetition for the coveted James V. ForrestalTrophy. Top honors in this event of 72-holemedal play were carried off by the Army teamfor the second straight year despite strong com-petition.

Two other unrelated events-one historicallycurious, the other historically nostalgic-tookplace just prior to the coming of winter. Nearly

-15-

100 members of the Kansas City Horseless Car-riage Club, determinedly driving 30 automobilesof the period 1925 and earlier, made a stop-over at the Post Museum during their annualcross-country trip. The Fort Leavenworth Huntgraciously offered equine assistance if required.Fortunately for the pride of the intrepid motor-ists, the offer proved unnecessary.

More than a dozen "stalwarts" of the 32dUS Volunteer Infantry Association paid a visitto Fort Leavenworth during their 25th annualreunion in late September. The associationwas formed in 1934, with membership includ-ing veterans of the 32d Volunteer InfantryRegiment and widows of deceased veterans. Theregiment was mobilized and trained at FortLeavenworth in the summer of 1899, and de-parted some 1,300 strong that fall for servicein the Philippines during the Spanish-AmericanWar. The small group of members were wel-comed to the Post by General Zierath andvisited the area south of Merritt Lake wherea stone marker and bronze tablet mark the loca-tion of their old encampment. A brief memorialservice for the veterans who had died duringthe year was held by Chaplain (Lt Col) Wil-liam B. Sharp at the Post Chapel. A luncheonin the Consolidated Troop Mess concluded thevisit, at which time C. H. Rhoades of Leaven-worth, Kansas, was nominated president ofthe association for the coming year.

One of the major events of the year-at least,in the minds of the smaller members of the Postcommunity-is the annual Halloween program.The arrangements for 1958 included a Saturdaymorning parade for all the lively little spooks,with marching music provided by the ArmyBand and a detachment of ROTC cadets fromLeavenworth High School. The parade, as al-ways, was a sight to behold. Members of theFort Leavenworth Hunt led their mounts overthe route while wagons from the Post Museumcollection bulged at the seams with costumedchildren. That night a mammoth carnival wasstaged at the Sherman Army Airfield hangarswith displays, games of skill and chance, andrefreshment stands attracting nearly everychild on the Post. Parents armed withpurchased scrip handled the financial arrange-ments for a night of merriment. All the profitswere given to the Post Activities Fund.

Col Francis A. Liwski arrived on Post in

October to fill the position of Deputy PostCommander which had been vacated by thedeparture of Colonel Culp for the Army Com-mand Management School the previous August.Colonel Liwski occupied this position until hisretirement at the Post nearly 4 years later.

As the 1958 holiday season approached, FortLeavenworth took on a festive appearance. Thepublic was invited to tour the Post and observethe striking results of this effort. Many out-door trees were brilliantly lighted, as werenumerous buildings along the main thorough-fares. A huge replica of Santa perched atop a"moon rocket" was in place over the ArmyField Printing Plant to capture the spirit ofChristmas in a manner which also recognizedthe interest of the time in our national spaceprogram. The feature attraction was the ex-terior of Bell Hall where the age-old "MerryChristmas and Happy New Year" greeting wasspelled out in a blacklite display, and wheresix beautifully decorated trees were illuminatedby changing lighting effects.

The new $5 million academic building of theCommand and General Staff College, consideredto be the most modern educational plant west ofthe Mississippi River, was officially dedicatedas J. Franklin Bell Hall on 14 January 1959.Approximately 1,400 guests assembled in thebuilding's main auditorium as the HonorableWilbur M. Brucker, Secretary of the Army,delivered the principal address of the day fol-lowing an introductory speech by General Mc-Garr. Virtually all of the College facilities wereunder one roof for the first time since 1881.Students and instructors were moved into thefully equipped classrooms from previous loca-tions in Gruber, Muir, and Andrews Hallswhich originally had been constructed as ariding hall, stable, and gymnasium, respec-tively.

The Post lost the services of a well-knownfigure when Bob Baker retired in March 1959.The 78-year old barber began the practice of hisprofession at the forerunner of the Commandand General Staff College in 1910, and his shophad long been a favorite gathering place forfaculty members and student officers. Many ofhis patrons will recall Mr. Baker holding forthin his Grant Hall establishment, with diplomason the wall attesting to his "graduation" fromvarious courses of the College, as he recounted

-16-

tales of his associations with famous Armyleaders in the past. He was an avid skeetshooter and had donated the Bob Baker Trophyto the Post Skeet Club in 1957. This trophy iscompeted for annually, with the stipulation thatit will always remain at Fort Leavenworth.

The collection of the Fort LeavenworthMuseum was moved from a remote area of thePost to its present location in Andrews Hallshortly after that building was vacated by theCollege. Under the able direction of Miss Mil-dred Cox then, as now, the Museum Curator,the relocation of this popular tourist attrac-tion was quickly accomplished. The newly oc-cupied building permitted the expansion ofhistorical exhibits planned by Miss Cox, thePost Historical Committee, and the museumBoard of Counselors. The museum was formallyopened in May, and a tremendous increase in"business" ensued as over 12,000 visitorsviewed the displays within the first 3 months.

Numerous visitors, three separate classgraduations in one day, Armed Forces andFrontier Day celebrations, and a CombinedArms and Services Conference resulted in avery busy month for Fort Leavenworth inMay 1959. As on many similar occasions inthe past, the Post was equal to the task. TheFrontier Day celebration deserves further men-tion since it was conducted simultaneously withthe yearly Armed Forces Day events and set aprecedent for the next several years. Plans forthis combined celebration on 16 May were ajoint City-Post venture. An open house washeld at the Post that Saturday morning which,along with the many permanent items of his-torical interest and the newly reopened Mu-seum, permitted the general public to visitBell Hall and view the academic facilities ofthe College for the first time. That eveningFrontier Day events were staged at ShermanArmy Airfield. The field and hangars weredecorated with relics of the past as thousandsof people, young and old, relived the early dayswhen the Post had been a staging area for thelong treks West over the Santa Fe and OregonTrails. A chuck-wagon dinner, a pioneer cos-tume contest, games for the children, and anold-time family-style dance climaxed the mem-orable day.

The Post housing picture was considerablybrightened in the late summer of 1959 whenover 100 Regular Course student families were

able to occupy quarters in the second of theCapehart construction projects. All the quar-ters had not been completed when the classreported to Fort Leavenworth, however, andan emergency project labeled "Operation Wel-come Hand" was initiated to ease the situa-tion. A temporary housing office manned byPost personnel at the Leavenworth Chamberof Commerce received more than 40 offersfrom Leavenworth families willing to sharetheir homes with an incoming Army family.These initial difficulties were overcome with therapid completion of the remaining quarters inthe area named "Kansa Village" for an earlyIndian tribe of the Missouri Territory. Trues-dell Hall, with quarters for 90 bachelor of-ficers and a modern 350-man student officersfield ration mess, also was completed in August.Located at the intersection of Grant and Stim-son Avenues, the building was named afterthe late Maj Gen Karl Truesdell, Commandantof the Command and General Staff School, dur-ing World War II.

THE YEARS 1960-63

The International Group of the Fort Leav-enworth Officers' Wives Club sponsored anevent in January 1960 that proved so success-ful it became another Post tradition. Theevent, an International Exposition, which de-picted the cultures and customs of the 43 coun-tries represented by. Allied student officers thenattending the Command and General Staff Col-lege, was held for 2 days at the Officers' OpenMess. The Allied students and their familiesprepared national exhibits with materials fromtheir native lands. They were assisted by theirrespective embassies in the United States.The exhibits included products of culture, in-

-17-

dustry, and history arranged in an attractivedisplay for each country. Uniformed Allied of-ficers and members of their families attired innative dress presented a colorful sight as theygreeted the general public and explained thevarious exhibits. Mrs. Leo J. Nawn supervisedthe arrangements for the exposition which wasacclaimed as one of the most educationally en-joyable activities ever conducted at Fort Leav-enworth.

General Zierath was honored at a farewellreception upon his departure in January fromthe position of Assistant Commandant for anew assignment as Chief of Staff of the Alas-kan Command. Not long after, invitations wereextended to the permanently assigned officersof the Post and their wives for a receptionmarking the arrival of the new Assistant Com-mandant, Brig Gen William A. Cunningham,III, and Mrs. Cunningham.

General McGarr's appointment calendar forJuly 1960 was marked with the dates of manyfarewell formations scheduled prior to his de-parture after 4 years of what had been orig-inally intended as a 2-year tour of duty. Hisnext assignment was Chief of the Military As-sistance Advisory Group on the far side of theworld in a country with which many otherpersonnel of the US Army would soon be-come intimately familiar-the Republic ofVietnam. A reception honoring General andMrs. McGarr given by the Leavenworth Cham-ber of Commerce was followed by anotherat the Post. On July 29, General Mc-Garr formally relinquished command at FortLeavenworth at retreat ceremonies in front ofBell Hall. General and Mrs. McGarr departedthe Commandant's quarters at Number 1 ScottAvenue on 4 August. The strains of "Auld LangSyne" were provided in the background by amilitary band as the couple drove off through agathering of military personnel of the Postand their dependents wishing them bon voyage.

General Cunningham served as Acting Com-mandant until the arrival of Maj Gen Harold K.Johnson in mid-August from Germany wherethe general was Chief of Staff of the NATOCentral Army Group. General Johnson hadfirst been assigned to Fort Leavenworth afterhis release as a war prisoner of the Japanese.He graduated from the College in 1947 after

which he served as a faculty member for severalyears.

November 1960 will be remembered as themonth in which John F. Kennedy was elected

Maj Gen Harold K. Johnson

the 35th President of the United States. Theexciting presidential campaign which featuredthe televised Kennedy-Nixon debates was aconstant topic of discussion throughout thePost as it absorbed the attention of the Nation.Another topic of conversation at the timeamong military personnel was the announcedcurtailment of dependent travel to overseaareas.

The first housing area specifically designatedfor Post enlisted personnel since 1908 wascompleted as 1960 drew to a close. This, thethird Post Capehart housing project, and thelast such project to be completed to date, con-tains 100 duplex, two-story buildings in anarea to both sides of Biddle Boulevard nearthe southern boundary of the military reserva-tion. The first 20 families completed their moveinto the project, named Santa Fe Village, intime to greet the New Year in new quarters.

An early visitor to the Post in 1961 wasformer President Harry S Truman who ad-dressed the students and faculty of the Com-

-18-

mand and General Staff College in January. Mr.Truman has since become a frequent speakerat Fort Leavenworth, with his presentationsespecially noted for candid, forthright, andhumorous responses to queries from the audi-ence during the concluding question and answerperiods.

May is usually a busy month at the Post,and May 1961 was no exception. Armed ForcesWeek was celebrated by another Frontier Dayfor which a replica of a pioneer fort, com-plete with simulated log blockhouses and apalisade, was constructed at Sherman ArmyAirfield. Named "Old Fort Sunflower," it wasgaily decorated with blossoms of the Kansasstate flower to provide a setting for the day'sentertainment. The activities of the week,which included the fifth annual spring meetingof the Henry Leavenworth Chapter of the As-sociation of the United States Army (AUSA),featured sky-diving exhibitions by a team ofparachutists from the 7th Special Forces fromFort Bragg, North Carolina. This crowd pleas-ing program of "spot" jumping, mid-air batonpassing, and free-fall aerobatics was followedby a tactical jump by two special forces de-tachments from US Air Force C-123 aircraft.

An impressively large number of general of-ficers converged on Fort Leavenworth on 23May for a special 1-day conference devoted toNational Guard affairs. The 46 senior officersattending this meeting, plus those enrolled invarious courses of the College, created a totaltemporary population of 112 US Army gen-erals-a formidable concentration of "stars"by any standards.

The largest horse show in the history of theFort Leavenworth Hunt up to that time tookplace 27-28 May 1961 with Lt Col Floyd W.Townsley, President of the Hunt, carrying offtop honors in the final open jumping event.General Johnson was on hand to present rib-bons and trophies to the winners among the468 entrants and 105 horses that were shown.

A different type of presentation was made byGeneral Johnson in July when he pinned thesecond stars on the shoulders of the AssistantCommandant, General Cunningham. The promo-tion to major general resulted in a shortenedtour of duty at Fort Leavenworth, as GeneralCunningham departed for a new assignment inGermany.

Moving on a permanent change of station

was merely routine for Brig Gen Harry J.Lemley, the new Assistant Commandant, whoarrived with his wife, two daughters, and sonin August 1961. The Lemleys, who had movedtheir household five times in connection withtheir recently completed tour in Germany, wereto find an unaccustomed degree of stabilizationat Fort Leavenworth where General Lemleyis presently the Commanding General andCommandant of the Command and GeneralStaff College.

The creeping spread of international com-munism in 1961 prompted the Henry Leaven-worth Chapter of the AUSA to conduct aguest speaker program to further the securityof the Nation and to accent the vital role of theUS Army as an instrument of national secu-rity. Because of this very effective program,the chapter received the AUSA award for thebest single promotional project among the as-sociation's chapters throughout the world. Theaward-winning program employed seven au-thoritative speakers, all members of the staffand faculty or students of the College, to alertcitizens of northwestern Missouri, northeasternKansas, and the communities in the KansasCity area to communism's methods and dan-gers. Some 75 presentations were given to meet-ings of adult civic, business, and professionalgroups, with an estimated total attendance of6,300 persons.

On 26 September 1961, Fort Leavenworthreceived a certificate, signed by Secretary ofthe Interior Stewart L. Udall, which officiallydesignated the Post a "Registered NationalLandmark." The application for this designa-tion was submitted by the Secretary of theArmy in recognition of the historical signifi-cance attained by Fort Leavenworth since itsestablishment. A bronze plaque commemorat-ing this designation was prepared and dedi-cated the following Armed Forces Day, when itwas emplaced in front of the Post Museum.

An eagerly awaited event, held every 2 yearsat the Post, is the Mardi Gras Ball. The highlypopular event is sponsored by the Daughtersof the US Army for the benefit of the hospitalemergency fund. Proceeds from the March 1962Mardi Gras also provided for a newly estab-lished scholarship fund for high school seniorsat Fort Leavenworth. Co-chairmen for the cos-tume ball were Mesdames Albert L. Kotzebueand Dandridge F. Hering. The main ballroom

-19

of the Officers' Open Mess was transformed intoa resemblance of the French Quarter in NewOrleans, with facsimiles of the French Market,the Old Absinthe House, and the Gem Barrealistically portrayed and stocked to satisfythe inner needs of the more than 1,200 attend-ing revelers. Mrs. Lewis A. Pick, wife of astudent at the College, reigned as Queen of theBall while the elected King, habitually selectedby the students from among the College instruc-tors, was Lt Col Guy G. McConnell.

Currency was converted to party money forwagering at the many games of chance thatwere organized and supervised by Dr. Ivan J.Birrer, the College Educational Advisor. Partymoney was also exchanged at a brisk rate atthe numerous concessions doing a land-officebusiness in costumed dolls, candies, balloons,flowers, and comical souvenir photos. Circulat-ing shrimp and oyster bars, as well as attrac-tive roving flower girls with large baskets ofpink and red carnation corsages, sped theflow of dollars for the cause. Maj Albert L.Kotzebue was master of ceremonies duringthe Queen's coronation and the following pro-gram of entertainment. First prize for the mosthumorous costume was awarded to a studentportraying a doomsday prophet and carryinga sign "Are you ready for the end?" makingunmistakable reference to the close of the Col-lege course. Two can-can chorus lines headlinedthe program. The first, composed of well-re-hearsed ladies of the Post, performed in amanner worthy of the Follies Bergere. Theother, made up of male members, ran througha routine with a lesser degree of professionalcompetence but considerably more hilarity. Thefun-filled evening successfully provided a note-worthy social event for the year and a sourceof revenue for a deserving cause.

General Lemley, in the spring of 1962,visited Vietnam to view at first hand the coun-terinsurgency operations in that country bythe South Vietnamese forces and their Ameri-can advisors. Shortly after his return, he pre-sented a resume of his observations at the an-nual meeting of the Henry Leavenworth Chap-ter of the AUSA. In his closing remarks follow-ing a concise description of the situation, Gen-eral Lemley reiterated his belief that the strug-gle in South Vietnam is waged against a strongand determined enemy by capable and dedicatedpeople whose freedom must be preserved.

Two weeks of top-level discussions on waysto improve the combat effectiveness of the USArmy took place at the Post in June 1962under the sponsorship of the US ContinentalArmy Command. Over 75 general officers at-tended this, the second, Worldwide CombatArms Conference, with Under Secretary ofthe Army Stephen Ailes heading the list of ap-proximately 300 distinguished visitors. GeneralJohnson served as overall coordinator for theconferences which were conducted in Bell Hall.

On 1 July 1962 a new combat developmentsagency came into being at Fort Leavenworth.Designated the Combined Arms Group (CAG),it is an integral part of the US Army CombatDevelopments Command established in themajor reorganization of the Department ofthe Army. General Johnson, in addition to hisduties as Commanding General of Fort Leav-enworth, and Commandant of the Commandand General Staff College, assumed a thirdposition as Commanding General of CAG.Along with combat developments elements lo-cated with several of the Army service schools,CAG directs the activities of a Combined ArmsAgency (CARMSA) formed at the same timefrom the doctrinal elements of the College in-structional departments. Col Robert C. Workswas named Deputy Commander of the Com-bined Arms Group, and Col Robert H. Deasonwas appointed Commanding Officer of the Com-bined Arms Agency.

Each summer the Post has been a temporaryhome for groups of high school ROTC students.Two groups of 100 cadets each were trainedin a typical encampment in July 1962 in thecharge of the Kansas City ROTC detachment.The boys, coming from Leavenworth, KansasCity, Independence, and St. Joseph, follow astrict training schedule beginning each morn-ing with a reveille formation at 0500. Squadtactics and similar field problems take up muchof the training week which is concluded afterthe young prospective officers take to the riflerange to fire the weapons they have carried indrill during the past school year. By the timethe last camp formation is dismissed, the boyshave gained a new confidence in themselves,have perhaps lost a few excess pounds and de-veloped a few unfamiliar muscles, have gainedan appreciation of Army field duty, and havea respect for Fort Leavenworth's mosquito,chigger, and tick inhabitants as well.

Colonel Liwski closed a 30-year militarycareer and a 4-year tour of duty as Chief ofStaff at a retirement ceremony in Bell Hall atthe end of July 1962. He was succeeded by ColRobert C. Erlenbusch who previously had beenthe Post G4. Colonel Erlenbusch was still serv-ing in this position at the end of 1963.

Several of the more adventurous militarypersonnel at the Post obtained official Armysanction for a Fort Leavenworth Sport Para-chute Club in October 1962. The 27 chartermembers elected Col Joseph B. Seay, at thattime the Post G4, as the first club president.Colonel Seay put his previous parachutingexperience, which began with a jump overNew Guinea in 1943, to good use in quicklyestablishing the selection and training criteriafor the free-falling membership of the new club.All joining members are required to completea stringent course of prejump training, makefive closely supervised static-line jumps, and atleast three more static-line jumps employingthe use of a dummy ripcord before they arepermitted to make their first actual free-falljump.

Several statistics compiled for the year 1962serve to provide an insight into the size andscope of the Post operation. Over 3,500 studentswere graduated from courses of the Commandand General Staff College while some 26,000officers were enrolled in nonresident extensioncourses. The sum of $36 million was spent dur-ing the year for salaries, supplies, and services.The monetary value of the physical facilitiesat Fort Leavenworth was appraised at $73 mil-lion. The local AUSA chapter, selected thatyear as the best overall chapter in the world,announced a membership of 2,015. The Postoversubscribed its established United Funddrive goal by 133 percent when a total of over$37,000 was pledged. Not least significant byany means, 310 babies were born in 1962 atthe Munson Army Hospital.

New Year's Day, 1963, was the promotiondate for General Lemley to the two-star rankof major general. The next month saw GeneralJohnson leaving the Post for duty in Office ofthe Deputy Chief of Staff for Military Opera-tions. General Lemley became the second Com-mandant in history to move up from the As-sistant Commandant's position to the commandof Fort Leavenworth.

In assuming the threefold responsibilities of

his new position, General Lemley is in theunique position of reporting to three superiorofficers. They are the Commanding Generals ofthe US Continental Army Command, the FifthUS Army, and the US Army Combat Develop-ments Command. As Post Commander, he

serves as chief administrator for a complexmultimillion dollar operation, and attends awide variety of boards and committees. Asthe head of Fort Leavenworth's first family,he and his wife are expected to attend countlesssocial functions in the furtherance of militaryand civic relations. These functions are notpermitted to interfere with official duties, butthey demandingly restrict the time that thegeneral may devote to normal family life.

General Lemley travels extensively, for themost part to supervise the activities of the Com-bined Arms Group with its 10 subordinateagencies spread from Virginia to Arizona. Hegreets nearly every official visitor to the Post,and hosts a great number of them in hisquarters at No. 1 Scott Avenue. In 1962, over3,300 visitors were entertained in the Com-mandant's home. During an average workweek in excess of 50 office hours, the generalreads and signs hundreds of papers requiringhis attention each day, and somehow finds time

-21-

to personally conduct a multitude of promotionand awards ceremonies for the thousands ofpersonnel under his command.

An atmosphere of tense expectation builtup in the first weeks of March 1963 as theday approached for the arrival of a team ofofficers from the Pentagon. The team, from theOfficer Personnel Directorate, arrives at thistime each year to announce the future assign-ments of the student officers attending the

Command and General Staff Officer Course.The Post was the scene of hectic activity im-mediately after the announcements were madeas officers and their wives spread the news andcompared locations for their next duty stations.The chief operator at the Post switchboard haslearned from long experience that extra helpis required that evening to handle the hundredsof long-distance calls placed by the studentfamilies to relatives and friends.

Many officers of the College staff and facultyand the Post garrison, in addition to the stu-dents, were making movement plans about thissame time. The average tour of duty for per-manently assigned officers at Fort Leavenworthis 3 years, with about one-third of them depart-ing and arriving during the summer months.The new Assistant Commandant, Col Elias C.Townsend, arrived for duty in April from anassignment as Assistant Chief of Staff, G3,with the Second US Army. Colonel Townsend,an instructor at the College in 1946-48, waspromoted to brigadier general in August.

Physical fitness was a current topic in thespring of 1963 when the Army Physical Combat

Proficiency Test was scheduled for the firsttime for all male soldiers under 40 years ofage. Those who wisely prepared for the testby practice at the course set up in the BluntvilleBowl area found significant differences betweenthe new requirements and the old PhysicalFitness Test. When the final results were postedafter more than 1,000 men had been tested,top honors went to the assistant Protestantchaplain of the Post, Chaplain (Capt) Wayne G.Shelton. In an almost perfect performance inthe five-event test, the 34-year old chaplainscored 498 out of a possible 500 points, leav-ing a mark for combat arms officers to strivefor in the future.

The Post detachment of the Women's ArmyCorps, commanded by Capt Margaret Clifford,celebrated the 21st anniversary of their corpsin May 1963. Arrangements for their birthdayparty were made by those detachment memberssoon to be retired after 20 or more years ofservice. One of the first WAC detachments tobe authorized; it arrived at Fort Leavenworthin 1943 and was expanded to nearly 300 mem-bers during World War II. There are presently71 enlisted women and 6 WAC officers servingat the Post in assignments to the Munson ArmyHospital, Midwest Relay Station, the dentalclinic, library, and other Post and College activi-ties.

Another unit of the garrison deserving men-tion is the 371st Army Band which has provideda variety of music at the Post since 1947. Theband has averaged over 50 performances amonth, playing receptions, sports events, nu-merous other military and religious activities,in addition to filling a schedule of outdoormorning concerts on summer weekends. TheBand has also performed in Leavenworth,traveled to many surrounding communities toplay for civic functions, and provided stagemusic for the Post Dramatics Club.

Work began in November 1963 for the re-moval of a familiar Post landmark. The oldFort bridge, which was constructed in 1872 andsubsequently carried the traffic of Highway 92across the Missouri River, had been closed sincethe Leavenworth Centennial Bridge was com-pleted in 1955. Now considered a menace tonavigation on the river, it was scheduled fordemolition. During the process, the woodenflooring of the bridge accidentally caught firein a rather spectacular fashion as flames en-

-22-

gulfed the complete length of the span. Fire-men stood by in frustration without practicalmeans to extinguish the blaze until a bargewith fire-fighting equipment aboard wasbrought upstream. After several days the lastembers ceased smoldering, the onlookers inBell Hall turned away from their windows andredirected their attention to office chores, andworkmen again began to dismantle the metalstructure.

The awful news of the assassination of Presi-dent John F. Kennedy on the 22d day of Novem-ber was received with shocked incredulity atFort Leavenworth, as it was all over the world.While confirmatory reports were announced,and the aftermath of events was televised fromDallas, realization of the actual loss suffered bythe Nation took effect. Instructions were issued,as the Post flag was lowered to half-staff, for

all assigned officers to assemble in the audito-rium of Bell Hall the following morning whereGeneral Lemley performed the sad duty ofreading the official notification of the Presi-dent's death from the Secretary of Defense.

The usually gay Post holiday season passedagainst a subdued, somber background asscheduled celebrations were cancelled, and asense of deep personal loss remained the pre-dominant emotion in the hearts of all Ameri-cans. The year 1963 came to an end not longafter the flag was once more flying at full-staffto mark the end of the period of nationalmourning. Personnel at the Post prepared toenter the coming year experiencing, with theirfellow countrymen everywhere, a spirit of re-dedication to the ideals so often clearly ex-pressed by the late 35th President of the UnitedStates.

CHAPTER IIIPOST UNITS AND ORGANIZATIONS

It is widely known that Fort Leavenworthis the home of the U. S. Army Command andGeneral Staff College, and it is true that theCollege is the major military activity locatedat Fort Leavenworth. It is less generally knownthat Fort Leavenworth is the home of severalother diversified operations of a unique and im-portant nature. This chapter discusses the moreprominent of these operations.

THE COMBINED ARMS GROUPThe newest among the agencies at Fort Leav-

enworth came into existence as a result of astudy directed by the Honorable Robert S.

McNamara, Secretary of Defense, in February1961. A study was made of the Department ofthe Army functions, organizations, and pro-cedures in the light of current and projectedtrends, and resulted in the reorganization ofthe Army in 1962. In January 1962, the Com-mand and General Staff College began studiesto determine how this Army reorganizationwould affect the College and the other serviceschools of the combat arms. These studies con-cluded that the Departments of Doctrine andCombat Developments of the College should bedeactivated. Further, it was decided that the

-24-

personnel from these departments should formthe nucleus of two new organizations to belocated at the Post; the US Army CombinedArms Group and the US Army Combined ArmsCombat Developments Agency. These studyconclusions were approved and implemented.

Orders from the US Army Combat Develop-ments Command at Fort Belvoir, Virginia,established the Combined Arms Group (CAG)at Fort Leavenworth as a subordinate elementeffective 1 July 1962.' Maj Gen Harold K.Johnson assumed command on that date. Sub-sequent orders organized and assigned the fol-lowing combat developments agencies to theCAG from existing activities at the militaryinstallations indicated: Air Defense at FortBliss, Texas; Armor at Fort Knox, Kentucky;Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma; Aviation atFort Rucker, Alabama; CBR at Fort McClellan,Alabama; Engineer at Fort Belvoir; Infantryat Fort Benning, Georgia; Intelligence at FortHolabird, Maryland; Communications-Elec-tronics at Fort Huachuca, Arizona; and Com-bined Arms located at Fort Leavenworth, Kan-sas, with the headquarters element.2 These far-flung agencies, composed of nearly 1,100 per-sonnel, immediately began operations under thecentral direction of the CAG.

The mission of the CAG, as set forth in theActivation Plan, is to formulate and documentcurrent doctrine for the Army; to anticipatethe nature of land warfare in the future; todetermine the types of forces and materialneeded in the future; and to determine howthese forces and material should be employed.This formal mission statement was in agree-ment with the thoughts of Lt Gen John F.Daley, the first Commanding General of theCombat Developments Command, who felt thathis command should supply answers to thequestions: "HOW SOULD THE ARMY BEORGANIZED? HOW SHOULD THE ARMYFIGHT ?"

A formal ceremony was held on the con-course in front of Grant Hall on 2 July 1962to dedicate the two new organizations at the

General Orders No. 5, Headquarters, US ArmyCombat Developments Command, Fort Belvoir, Vir-ginia, 21 June 1962.

Post. The CAG occupied office and work spacein the Grant-Sherman Hall facilities. The Com-bined Arms Agency (CARMSA) moved intoareas on the third floor of Bell Hall which af-forded its members ready access to the refer-ence material of the College Library.

The Headquarters of the CAG, in additionto an administrative element, is organized inthree divisions. A Plans and Programs Divisionmonitors the 5-year programs for combat de-velopment, and the worldwide programs oftroop testing new doctrine and organizations.An Organization and Doctrine Division super-vises the preparation of studies dealing withoperational and organizational concepts andmateriel objectives. This supervision includesthe preparation of doctrinal field manuals andtables of organization and equipment. Theevaluation of materiel requirements for com-bat and combat support elements, and themonitoring of various materiel test and evalua-tion programs are accomplished by the MaterielDivision. Accomplishments of the CAG in thefirst year and a half of its existence have beenthe monitoring and supervision of subordinateagencies which resulted in the preparation ofover 160 doctrinal studies and publications,some 40 tables of organization and equipmentand more than 150 materiel or developmentrequirements and objectives.

Col Wilson M. Hawkins assumed the posi-tion of CAG Deputy Commander on 15 June1963 from the first officer appointed to directthe affairs of that organization within theCommanding General's policy guidance, ColRobert C. Works. The Combined Arms Groupand the Command and General Staff Collegetoday enjoy a mutually beneficial relationshipenhanced by their physical proximity and theiroperation under the command of a single in-dividual, the Commanding General of FortLeavenworth. Close cooperation between thetwo has increased the fund of tactical knowl-edge available to the CAG for developing doc-trine, and the ability of the College to assimilateapproved doctrine into its tactical teachings.

THE US DISCIPLINARY BARRACKS

For nearly 90 years, the facilities of the USDisciplinary Barracks have housed men whohave failed in some respect to adjust to societyor their military environment. The history ofthe USDB goes back to 21 May 1874 when an

-25-

amendment to a previous act of Congresschanged the location of a military prison fromRock Island Arsenal, Illinois, to Fort Leaven-worth. From that time, the programs of theUSDB have evolved slowly in keeping with thechanges now apparent in modern penology.New theories and practices have been triedand tested; some discarded and others adopted.Today the USDB, which serves both the Armyand the Air Force, is a community uniquewithin the larger community of Fort Leaven-worth. Activities conducted at the USDB re-flect the progressive approaca of both Servicestoward the reeducation of the inmates. Theatmosphere is corrective rather than punitive.Although their freedom is restricted, the pris-oners carry on many of the activities of normalsociety.

From the day a prisoner arrives until theday he leaves, he is involved in a program aimedat determining the basic cause of punishablebehavior, and preparing him to assume a re-sponsible role in society upon his release fromconfinement. Should a prisoner need psychiatriccounseling, additional educational opportuni-ties, vocational training, the experience ofsupervised group living, recreational opportuni-ties, or religious training, these requirementscan be met within the overall program. To ful-fill these requirements, almost half of the as-signed staff of the USDB consists of psychia-trists, psychologists, social workers, teachers,counselors, work supervisors, athletic super-visors, library workers, classification experts,and lawyers. Col Weldon W. Cox, Commandantof the USDB from 1959-63, often remarked,"What a prisoner accomplishes while inside thewalls is partly his responsibility-the institu-tion helps him to help himself."

Motion pictures are shown on weekends andholidays, and a hobby shop provides a meansfor constructive relaxation. The USDB also hasa well-equipped gymnasium. During the sum-mer, baseball and softball leagues are organ-ized; while in the winter months, football andbasketball are the major atheltic events. Vol-ley ball, wrestling, boxing, weight-lifting, andtrampoline exercises round out the extensivesports program.

Since the first classes were begun in 1888,education has been a main feature of the USDBprogram. During the 1963 fiscal year, 256 pris-oners successfully completed high school gen-

eral educational development tests, and 44 com-pleted the same tests on a college level. In ad-dition, 156 men completed formal classroomstudy for high school, 48 completed group studyclasses or correspondence courses at the highschool level, and 492 completed similar workat the college level.

Since 1960, an Associate in Arts degree inthe junior college program has been avail-

able through a joint effiort by the USDB andthe Junior College of Highland, Kansas.

Closely related to the educational program isa vocational training program. A major im-provement to this program has been the recentcompletion, by prisoner labor, of a modernvocational industries building within the wallsof the USDB Main Unit. The first major build-ing project for the USDB since 1930, this struc-ture provides training facilities for the devel-opment of skills in tailoring, electrical work,photography, sheet metal work, printing, andupholstery. On-the-job training is offered insuch fields as dry cleaning, laundry operation,plumbing, cooking, carpentry, barbering, andautomobile repair. Vocational skills acquiredby the prisoners in many of the fields are putto use to reduce the operational costs of theUSDB, as well as to provide a source of prisonrevenue by offering commercial-type servicesto the personnel of Fort Leavenworth.

A major subsidiary of the USDB is the FarmColony and Greenhouse. Prisoners assigned toagricultural work raise hogs, beef cattle, andpoultry and cultivate several hundred acres ofland with crops of corn, milo, alfalfa, and oats.

-26-

The Farm Colony consists of more than 600acres in an area northwest of the prison'sMain Unit. Located between the Farm Colonyand the USDB is the prison greenhouse, re-portedly the largest in the State of Kansas. Thesale of plants and flowers, as well as farm pro-duce to residents of Fort Leavenworth andother authorized personnel, also provides a con-siderable amount of revenue to the USDB Vo-cational Training Fund.

Minimum custody prisoners are quarteredat the Farm Colony and at the Local ParoleeUnit. These men move from their quarters totheir jobs without direct supervision, and manyof their duties are accomplished away from theprison in various areas of the Post.

For those prisoners due to return to civilianlife, a prerelease counseling program providesinstruction concerning job applications, civilianlegal problems, parole supervision, travel pay,family adjustment problems, and many otherrelated matters. Men selected to return to mili-tary duty undergo an additional training pro-gram. Those who return to the Army are re-trained in basic soldiering duties by the Mili-tary Training Branch of the First Guard Com-pany, and Air Force personnel are sent to anAir Force unit that has been organized for asimilar purpose.

Both Army and Air Force officers are as-signed to the USDB. Their training and ex-perience include special penological school-ing at the baccalaureate, master, and doctoratelevels. More than 450 enlisted men performduties at the USDB. These assigned personnel,with a representation of combat veterans aswell as college graduates and technicians anda broad range of training and background, areassigned to the First Guard Company cur-rently commanded by Maj Lawrence E. Person.They are trained cooks and guards, specialistsin psychological testing and social case work,administrative specialists, and engineeringsupervisors.

A third group of specialists are the civiliansemployed at the USDB by the Department ofthe Army. They include men and women withspecial skills and training in correctional work.Such trades as shoe repair, upholstering, andbarbering are taught to prisoners under thedirection of both civilian and military person-nel.

Rehabilitating men who have failed in the

military service is a specialized mission andfar from an easy assignment. For the recentlyassigned Commandant, Col E. L. Slobe, and hisstaff, the search for better ways to help menat the US Disciplinary Barracks will remaintheir first objective.

MUNSON ARMY HOSPITALA major step forward in the continuing pro-

gram of health and welfare at Fort Leaven-worth was taken in April 1958 when groundwas broken for a new military hospital. Con-struction of the $3 million building was basedupon plans made available by the US Air Force.While this construction was taking place, medi-cal service was provided from the buildingcomplex on Thomas Avenue where it had beenlocated since 1902. Col Joseph T. Caples, Com-mander of the Hospital and Post Surgeon, wasbusy at the time as he directed the many rou-tine hospital activities while taking an activesupervisory interest in the new building.

Colonel Caples was known as the unofficialhistorian of Fort Leavenworth because of hisinterest in the local area and his extraordinaryfamiliarity with Fort Leavenworth in the past.The Colonel had lived at the Post four timesprevious to his current assignment; first withhis father who was stationed here in 1909, asecond time while his father took part in theMexican Campaign in 1916-17, a third timewhen his father was a student in the GeneralStaff School in 1921, and yet again when hehimself was a student in 1942. Colonel Caples'family history in this location goes back muchfarther than that, however. His great-great-grandfather was the president of the associa-tion that founded the City of Leavenworth in1854.

With the completion of construction, themovement of hospital equipment into the newfacility began in January 1961. One monthlater, patients were moved from the old hospitalbuildings, and the new health center was infull operation in its new location by 27 Febru-ary 1961. The buildings from which the hospitalwas moved serve today to house the DentalClinic, offices of the American Red Cross, andprovide billet space for enlisted personnel.

Colonel Caples presided over a program offormal dedication ceremonies on 29 March 1961during which the hospital was named in honorof Brig Gen Edward L. Munson, who had

-27-

served with distinction in the Army from 1893to 1932. General Munson had been an instruc-tor in the Army Service Schools, which laterdeveloped into the United States Army Com-mand and General Staff College, and foundedthe Medical Field Services and CorrespondenceSchool at Fort Leavenworth. The scheduled pro-gram, to which the public was invited, includeda welcome by Maj Gen Harold K. Johnson,Commanding General of the Post, a dedicationaddress by Maj Gen Thomas J. Hartford, theDeputy Surgeon General of the Army, and atour through the facilities of the new hospital.

Main entrance to Munson Army Hospital

The fully air-conditioned, three-story hospitalis equipped with the most modern medicalequipment. Presently providing beds for amaximum of 90 patients, provisions were incor-porated into the basic design for an expansionto a 190-bed unit if required. Two floorsof the building contain rooms for pa-tients. These rooms vary in size fromsingle-bed rooms to those with six beds.There are three surgical operating rooms, twodelivery rooms, a pharmacy, modern kitchenand dining areas, and two food service unitsfor wards.

Rooms for patients are colorfully decoratedand most have all the comforts of a home bed-room. Each bed has a two-way communicationsystem to a nursing station, and a pillow

speaker for listening to radio or recorded pro-grams. Remote controlled television sets aremounted from the ceilings and connected to thepillow speaker system. Telephone jacks in-stalled in each room are provided for the pa-tients' convenience. An interesting innovationis a communications system whereby key hos-pital personnel can be contacted without dis-turbing the patients through the use of tran-sistorized pocket receivers. A Special Serviceslibrary, a branch Post Exchange and snackbar, and a barber shop are also available inthe hospital.

A health center of this type requires a siz-able and diversified staff, including medical,surgical, nursing, administrative, and coordi-nating services. Over 200 personnel are assignedunder the command of Col John H. Taber, whoassumed the duties of Commanding Officer andPost Surgeon from Colonel Caples in August1963, to staff and operate the facilities ofMunson Army Hospital. Among these is ColonelOliver Buesing, Chief of Surgery, one of theoutstanding surgeon's in the Army. Many of theservices rendered by the hospital however,especially in the area of dependent medicalcare and preventive medicine, could not be pro-vided without the wholehearted and enthu-siastic support of the Red Cross VolunteerProgram by the distaff population of FortLeavenworth. These women, working as GrayLadies, Staff Aides, Nurses' Aides, and Regis-tered Nurses, contribute thousands of hours ofvolunteer service to the hospital each year.Nearly 300 of these women participate an-nually in the program during peak workloadmonths.

MIDWEST RELAY STATIONOn 12 December 1957, Headquarters, Fifth

US Army, published General Orders Number145 establishing the US Army Midwest RelayCenter at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, effective2 January 1958. Subsequent authority delegatedoperational control and the responsibility forthe accomplishment of the Midwest RelayCenter mission to the Commanding General,Fort Leavenworth.

The history of the Midwest Relay Stationbegan in December 1952 when a prototype tele-typewriter system was placed into operation atChicago, Illinois. This system was manufac-tured specifically to test the automatic concept

-28-

and to determine its possibilities for militaryapplication. This early test conclusively dem-onstrated that this equipment could provide amuch higher and more reliable grade of servicewith a considerable saving to the Governmentin the cost of personnel salaries alone. In verybasic terms, this system converts a messageprepared by the originator into a perforatedpaper tape. The tape is then fed througha transmitter that transforms the printedwords to electrical impulses traveling at thespeed of light to a destination where the im-pulses are reconverted to a paper or, in someinstances, to a final copy of the message in pageform. The automatic switching components ofthe system are set into operation upon receiptof the electrical impulses from an incomingteletypewriter line. From these impulses, thedestination and relative importance of the mes-sage are determined, and the message is auto-matically routed to the destination in accord-ance with its importance without human as-sistance or intervention. Messages addressed tomore than one agency or headquarters are re-produced in the appropriate number of copiesby the equipment and automatically routed tothe proper addressees.

Exterior of the Midwest Relay Station

With the proven feasibility of fully automaticswitching, the Chief Signal Officer of the Armydetermined that it would be far more economi-cal to operate a few large relay stations, eachserving large geographical areas, than manysmaller stations to serve specific commands.This concept represented a major departurefrom previous doctrine which normally placeda commander's communication facilities di-

rectly under his control. Accordingly, planswere made for a West Coast Relay Station atDavis, California; an East Coast Relay Stationat Fort Detrick, Maryland; and a MidwestRelay Station to be established in the Kansas-Missouri area. Under this concept, the Mid-west Relay Station currently is serving Govern-ment and military activities located throughout21 states and 4 army areas.

The Fort Leavenworth location was approvedby the Department of the Army and the exactlocations for the main station, receiver station,and transmitter station were determined priorto 1956 when the contract was signed for theconstruction of the main station building onBiddle Boulevard. The radio transmitter sta-tion was located adjacent to Sherman ArmyAirfield and its construction began in June1958. Later that year, construction was begunon the radio receiver station which was locatedat the Sunflower Ordnance Works in Desoto,Kansas. Additional construction and improve-ment of the station's facilities have taken place.

Equipment began arriving from the manu-facturers in September of 1958 and installa-tion was completed by October of the followingyear. The installation was accomplished byteams from the Army Signal EngineeringAgency with assistance provided by the per-sonnel assigned to the station under the com-mand of Lt Col John A. Anderson. In thismanner, station personnel gained valuable ex-perience in a phase of the overall training pro-gram designed to familiarize them with theequipment they would later operate and main-tain.

It was realized from the beginning that thetraining of personnel was the key to success-ful operation of the Midwest Relay Station.This initially presented a serious problem dueto the limited number of personnel havingprevious experience with automatic switchingequipment. These personnel were to be foundprimarily among those who had been associatedwith the prototype test in Chicago, and thoseat the relatively new West Coast Relay Sta-tion. A limited number of the more experiencedindividuals were recruited from these- installa-tions. The required remainder, both militaryand civilian, were selected on the basis of longexperience in the communications field andfamiliarity with network operations as theyexisted prior to the advent of automatic switch-

-29-

ing. This system of selection proved to be highlysuccessful and although many of the skilledmilitary personnel have been transferred fromthe station, most of the key civilians originallyrecruited are still present. Advantage was takenof every available training resource. Classesfor switchmen were conducted by the Auto-matic Electric Company at their Chicago fac-tory. Representatives of the Kleinschmidt Cor-poration assisted in the training of repairmenat classes conducted by the Midwest Relay Sta-tion. Personnel were sent both to Chicago andthe West Coast Relay Station to observe andbecome familiar with the operations there. Be-tween September 1959 and January 1960, 69individuals were trained in automatic opera-tions at classes conducted at Fort Leavenworthin the building now occupied by the Army Na-tional Bank. It is historically significant to notethat this building had first been used almosteight decades earlier for the instruction ofstudent officers in the school that was to de-velop into the U. S. Army Command and Gen-eral Staff College.

The cut-over to live traffic began on 2 January1960, the second anniversary of the organiza-tion of the Midwest Relay Station. With thecut-over, the station began its automatic switch-ing service on an around the clock basis whichhas continued without interruption until thepresent. Credit must be given to the outstand-ing performance and devotion to duty of thepersonnel responsible for the initial organiza-tion and training which resulted in what thecommander of the Army CommunicationsAgency described as the most successful cut-over in network history.

The formal dedication of the Midwest RelayStation, then commanded by Lt Col Hanford T.Colwell, took place on 18 February 1960 withceremonies held at the Fort Leavenworth Of-ficers' Open Mess and at the main station. Dedi-cation ribbons at the entrance to the stationwere cut by Maj Gen Ralph T. Nelson, ChiefSignal Officer of the Army, and Maj Gen LionelC. McGarr, Commanding General of Fort Leav-enworth. Guests and visitors present, more thana hundred in number, included State and localgovernment officials from the surrounding area,Post staff personnel, representatives of the com-panies that had manufactured equipment forthe station, and prominent Signal Corps repre-sentatives from Fifth US Army and the

Washington, D. C. area. The ceremonies wererecorded on film by photographers from theArmy Pictorial Center, and later edited into anewsreel type pictorial report which is stillavailable through the Army film library sys-tem.

The Midwest Relay Station, currently com-manded by Lt Col Gerald C. Von Bargen, hasbeen designated a class II activity of the ArmyStrategic Communications Command. Its mis-sion is to relay electrical communications anddata for government installation in the centralportion of the United States. As a part of theWorld Wide Strategic Army CommunicationsNetwork, the station is capable of relayingmessages to and from any installation in anypart of the world in which United States orAllied forces may be located. It also functionsas an important element of the Defense Com-munications System and serves as a transferpoint for Army and Air Force traffic. In re-turn for the administrative support it is pro-vided by Fort Leavenworth, the Midwest RelayStation also operates and maintains the PostCommunications Center. The station has proc-essed approximately 27 million messages in itsfirst 4 years of operation, with over 600,000messages handled in one month during 1963.

It is anticipated that the station will becomea part of the Global Satellite CommunicationsSystem and will continue to expand its serviceswithin its area of operations. In the event ofemergency, the Midwest Relay Station will pro-vide the Nation with the most modern and ef-ficient communications service available in theworld.

THE AIR DEFENSE BATTERYThe construction of a Nike Hercules de-

fense for the Kansas City area was approved bythe Department of the Army in late 1957. WithSenate approval in May 1958, negotiationsbegan for the purchase of land and the awardof contracts for the design and construction ofthe defense project. The contract for construc-tion was awarded in June 1958 and the notifica-tion to proceed was issued the following month.Ground-breaking ceremonies were conductedat Fort Leavenworth on the future site of theDelta Battery Headquarters at Pope Avenueand Biddle Boulevard on 23 July 1958.

Battery D, or Delta Battery, is one of thefour firing units of the 5th Missile Battalion

-30-

(Nike Hercules), 55th Artillery. The bat-talion headquarters is located at the Naval AirStation, Olathe, Kansas.

The ceremonies were sponsored by the HenryLeavenworth Chapter of the Association of theUnited States Army. A powerful Herculesmissile formed a backdrop for the speakersplatform, and the sounds of heavy earthmovingmachinery could be heard as the chaplain of-fered a prayer for peace. Civilian dignitariespresent for the occasion were headed by KansasGovernor George Docking. Brig Gen FrederickZierath, the Assistant Commandant of the Com-mand and General Staff College, representedFort Leavenworth and delivered the officialwelcome to the numerous participants andguests.

Headquarters of the Air Defense Battery

In August 1959, filler personnel began report-ing to Fort Leavenworth for assignment toDelta Battery. At the same time, the officers,key noncommissioned officers, and specialistsof the battery, then commanded by Capt GuyJ. Marzari, reported for "package" trainingat the Army Air Defense Center, Fort Bliss,Texas. This training, which developed indi-vidual and unit proficiency so necessary for thesuccessful operation and maintenance of theHercules system, was completed in Octoberand the trained personnel departed for FortLeavenworth to join the remainder of DeltaBattery.

By November 1959 sufficient personnel andequipment had arrived at the battery site topermit the emplacement of the equipment andthe start of an intensive unit training program.

The battery was declared operational in April1960. It is interesting to note that the batterylaunching area, from which Hercules mis-siles would be launched, is located on the samehill where the earthworks of Fort Sully wereconstructed during the Civil War for a similarmission, but against an entirely different typeof threat.

Delta Battery draws on Fort Leavenworthfor logistical support. Battery officers and manyof the enlisted personnel reside on the Post andparticipate actively in Post functions. Con-ducted tours through the battery facilities incooperation with Post activities, and demon-strations with the sentry dogs that guard theperimeters of sensitive battery installationshave been a source of interest to many Postvisitors. The battery sponsors annual Christ-mas and Easter parties for the children of SaintJohn's Orphanage, Kansas City. In additionto donations from battery personnel toward thepurchase of clothing for the orphans, the dayspreceding Christmas each year find the men ofDelta Battery busily engaged during their off-duty time collecting and repairing toys to bedistributed as gifts to these children. Throughorganized efforts such as these, and the promo-tion of good will by its individual members,Delta Battery has greatly assisted Fort Leav-enworth in maintaining a record of outstand-ing civic relations.

The battery is tested on the effectiveness ofits training programs by an annual servicepractice conducted at the McGregor FiringRange in New Mexico. This service practiceconsists of the actual firing of Nike Her-cules missiles at simulated hostile targetsand provides the basis for a thorough evalua-tion of the battery's firing operations. The bat-tery has fired 17 missiles under these condi-tions thus far with a perfect score of seventeentarget "kills." The battery has consistentlybeen rated "Superior" on its annual generalinspection. It has never failed successfully todemonstrate its ability to store, handle, andprepare for firing the powerful nuclear war-heads with which its missiles can be armed.Because of these and other similar achieve-ments, this unit has been designated the "Out-standing Battery of the Year" by the 4thRegion, Army Air Defense Command, to whichit is assigned for the 2 years this award hasbeen in existence.

The history of Delta Battery, although rela-tively brief, is a source of pride to the presentbattery commander, Capt Milton Welsh, andthe members of his unit. Delta Battery remainsin constant readiness to fulfill its assigned mis-sion to actively defend the Kansas City areaagainst aerial attack should the national policyof deterrence fail.

SHERMAN ARMY AIRFIELDThe center of air activity for Fort Leaven-

worth and the Command and General StaffCollege is Sherman Army Airfield located eastof the US Disciplinary Barracks on the Mis-souri River flats. The field was establishedunder the jurisdiction of the Disciplinary Bar-racks in 1923 by the Army Air Corps. At thistime it was merely a strip 1,800 feet long in a fieldof alfalfa and was intended only for emergencylandings. Named in 1936 for Maj WilliamSherman, US Air Corps, who had supervisedmajor improvements of the field, it was thenunder the control of the Army Air Corps,later the US Air Force. The expanding role ofArmy aviation resulted in the transfer of thefield to the Army and Fort Leavenworth in1953.

An important and busy activity was incor-porated with the operation of the field in 1954when a Transportation Corps aircraft main-tenance and supply detachment was movedfrom Fort Riley, Kansas, to Fort Leavenworth.This relatively small detachment, presentlycommanded by Maj Edward F. O'Donnell, sup-ports Army aircraft, including those of theArmy Reserve and National Guard throughout11 states in the Fifth US Army area. The de-tachment operates a U-1A utility aircraft tofly maintenance personnel and supply partswherever needed to accomplish its mission.

Effective 1 January 1959, a 5-year lease wasgranted to the City of Leavenworth permittinguse of the field by privately owned aircraftlisted with the Civil Aeronautics Agency andequipped with two-way radios. The Post Avia-tion Officer has since been responsible for theflight pattern and safety of all aircraft withinthe control zone of the field.

In 1960, the field was designated a classA airport-one which averages more than100 take-offs and landings a day-and beganoperations on a 24-hour basis. That same yeara significant improvement of landing surfaces

was completed. The main runway was toppedwith asphalt in a strip 5,900 feet long and 100feet wide. The field drainage system was im-proved as well as the secondary 5,400 footcinder runway.

The Post Army Aviation Detachment, cur-rently commanded by Maj John P. Westphal,is now assigned 17 fixed-wing aircraft and 3light helicopters. The operations at ShermanArmy Airfield, in addition to providing avia-tion support to the Post and College, providefacilities for the maintenance of flying pro-ficiency by permanently assigned and studentofficers. The number of aviators assigned asstudents at the College has increased yearly.Not only are aircraft made available to thesepilots, but their flight records are maintainedby personnel at the field. The Aviation Divisionalso operates a Link trainer which simulatesinstrument flight for aviators sharpening theirblind flying skills.

THE MUSEUMThere are indications that an attempt was

made as early as 1924 to establish a museum atFort Leavenworth to preserve the many his-torical military relics which were locatedthroughout the Post. A formal request fromFort Leavenworth to establish a museum wasapproved by the War Department in 1938 andthe Post Museum was established that year.Originally, the museum was situated in Build-ing No. 74 which now houses the Army Educa-tion Center. From the very start, the museumhas maintained a collection of period animal-drawn vehicles that is probably unsurpassedanywhere in the country. Among these authen-tic means of transportation of the early Westare stagecoaches, prairie schooners, numeroushorse-drawn buggies and sleighs, and oldArmy vehicles of all descriptions. For yearsthese vehicles were rented for a small fee, andprovided to military and civilian organizationsengaged in activities with an historical theme.The holdings of the museum were placed instorage in the fall of 1950 when the museumwas placed in a standby condition.

Shortly before his departure in 1952, Gen-eral McBride directed that plans be made toreactivate the Post Museum. It was reestab-lished in Building No. 391 and opened with ap-propriate ceremonies in 1953. The collectionof a small local quartermaster museum was

-32-

consolidated with the existing holdings, andthe museum activity was placed under the of-fice of the Headquarters Commandant for ad-ministrative purposes.

In 1955, General Davidson formed an his-torical committee to study and report upon aprogram at the Post which would encouragepublic and private support of the museum, andthus encourage increased understanding andsupport of the US Army. The committee recom-mended the organization of a Post historicalsociety and a permanent historical committee;the initiation of plans to restore and preservethe numerous available historical sites andobjects; the acquisition of a civilian museumcurator; and the appointment of a Post his-torian. The committee's recommendations wereapproved and implemented. A very active his-torical program was conducted with local andstate historical societies which served to fur-ther civic relations.

A civilian curator for the museum was ap-proved during the tenure of General McGarr asCommandant, and Miss Mildred C. Cox wasemployed in September 1958. The followingyear the museum was relocated in AndrewsHall with the primary considerations being amore advantageous site and an increased build-ing capacity. Well over half of the availablefloor space is now taken up by exhibits anddisplays, with the remainder used for an audi-torium, administrative and shop areas, andstorage.

The mission of the museum was establishedin 1960:

The mission of the Fort Leavenworth Mu-

seum is to collect, preserve, and present afully adequate graphic artifactual display ofthe history of Fort Leavenworth and all mil-itary facilities located at Fort Leavenworth(including the United States Army Com-mand and General Staff College, the UnitedStates Army Hospital, the United StatesArmy Midwest Relay Station, and the UnitedStates Army Disciplinary Barracks) and todevelop and preserve historical sites andmonuments throughout the military reserva-tion. The Museum serves as a medium forfostering knowledge and understanding ofthe history, traditions and development ofFort Leavenworth and its related facilities,stimulating esprit de corps and improvingpublic relations.3

A Board of Governors was established forthe museum in 1960 to guide and support themuseum program. The board also administersa non-government fund created by donationsfrom Post activities and organizations, andthose received from the general public. Relicsand other historical objects are purchased fromthis fund. An unofficial group of counselors wasalso formed in 1960 to provide liaison withregional museum activity and gain support forthe Fort Leavenworth Museum. In addition, thecounselors furnish professional advice and as-sistance to the museum Curator and Board ofGovernors. The counselors represent the De-partment of the Interior, the Kansas State His-torical Society, the Harry S Truman Library,and the museum in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Since the relocation of the museum in An-drews Hall, an active plan for expansion ofthe collections and exhibits has been in effect.Until sufficient properties are acquired to meetthe requirements of this long-range plan, de-picting the entire span of history for the FortLeavenworth area, relics added to the collec-tion are cased in exhibits of isolated but relatedthemes. A wide variety of attractive and his-torically interesting exhibits are displayed forthe many visitors to the museum. Although themajor collection grouping consists of the oldvehicles, the museum's holdings include artil-lery pieces, uniforms and related militaryequipment, Indian artifacts and western pio-neer relics, and objects from foreign landsdonated by Allied officers.

Hall is set aside for a display of period roomssuch as could be found in the homes of the earlysettlers of the Kansas Territory. The recon-struction, furnishing, and maintenance of theserooms has been accomplished by the Leaven-worth County Historical Society. An appealingexhibit, and a source of envy for the youngermale visitor, is a collection of miniature soldiersthat has been loaned to the museum by Lt ColS. von Schriltz. These thousands of miniatures,authentically uniformed and equipped in themost minute details, are arranged in forma.tions depicting military regiments of the world.

Stimulated by a progressive museum pro-gram, visits to the museum have increased fromabout 500 persons each month in 1958 to atotal of over 54,000 persons in 1963. Miss Coxand her museum staff conduct group tours forPost personnel, visiting dignitaries, and groupsfrom schools and civic and professional organi-zations. The museum personnel participate innumerous local, state, and regional historicalaffairs. The Fort Leavenworth Museum, by re-flecting what the community is and what it oncewas, creates a consciousness of the heritage andaffairs of the Post unattainable by any othermeans.

CHAPTER IVTHE COLLEGE, 1952-63

In the years following World War II, themission and operational procedures of the U. S.Army Command and General Staff College be-came more firmly established than in anyprevious period in the history of the academicinstitution at Fort Leavenworth. The primarycourse of instruction, the 10-month RegularCourse, was conducted once each year fromSeptember until June. A shorter, 13-week As-sociate Course was also scheduled each yearas a means for increasing the professionalability of the officer corps within all three com-ponents of the Army: the Regular Army, theNational Guard, and the Army Reserve. Thestated purpose of the two courses was identical:"To prepare officers for duty as commandersand staff officers at the division and higherlevels."'

Circular No. 202, War Department, 9 July 1946.

The College staff and faculty maintained of-fices and supporting facilities in the Grant-Sherman-Sheridan Hall complex under theclock tower which had become a symbol ofrecognition for officers of many nationalitiesthroughout the world. Student classroom activi-ties were concentrated, for the most part, inGruber and Andrews Halls. Gruber Hall, origi-nally a massive brick riding hall, housed theclasses of the Regular Course students. Thesmaller classes for the Associate Course wereconducted in the wood-constructed AndrewsHall.

The academic pace and pressure which hadlong been associated with student life at theArmy's senior school of tactical knowledge werenot diminished after completion of the accel-erated wartime program. Selection for attend-

-35-

- - - - -

ance at the College continued to be made on ahighly competitive basis. Competition duringthe demanding courses of instruction is a verytangible aspect of a student's assignment asclass members vied for positions at the top ofthe final academic standings. Graduation fromthe Command and General Staff College is asignal achievement in an officer's career, anachievement to which a great deal of impor-tance is attached in determining his future as-signment to positions of increasing respon-sibility.

THE KOREAN WAR PERIODThe initiation of the "police action" follow-

ing the Communist invasion of South Koreahad less immediate impact upon the plannedand programed activities of the Commandand General Staff College than any previousconflict involving US Army forces. To somedegree, this may be explained by the fact thatthe extent of military effort that was eventuallyrequired for enforcement of the United Na-tions' principles in that country was not ini-tially indicated. Then, too, the curriculum ofthe College, which had been expanded to includethe many diverse military aspects of WorldWar II, required little actual modification toincorporate lessons learned from the combatoperations in Korea. While the Korean Warnecessitated no major changes in College or-ganization or instruction, the Chinese Com-munist intervention and the resulting mobiliza-tion of US Army components created a greaterdemand for trained officers. Fort Leavenworthand the Command and General Staff Collegewere called upon to satisfy this demand.

The size of the Regular Classes was increased,beginning with the course starting in 1951which contained approximately 550 members.Starting in 1952, and continuing until the pres-ent time, the Associate Course was scheduledtwice a year from January until May and fromAugust to December. Initially, about 280 stu-dents were enrolled in each class. The AssociateCourse was lengthened from 13 to 16 weeks in1953 and, beginning that year, the class wasdivided into two groups for the final month ofthe course. One group of student officers re-ceived specialized instruction in the combatarms during that period, and the other groupdevoted their time to the study of the logisticalfields.

The College organization in 1952, as it hadevolved at the direction of Commandants MajGen Horace L. McBride and his successor, MajGen Henry I. Hodes, included five instructionaldepartments. Supervised by an Executive forInstruction, Col James W. Coutts, these de-partments presented all of the classes to theresident courses. Department I, headed by ColFrederick H. Loomis, presented instruction re-lating to intelligence matters. Col Marshall W.Frame was in charge of Department II whichwas concerned with armored operations andlogistics. Department III, supervised by ColKeith H. Ewbank, taught ground operationsand air support, while Col Charles R. Murrayand Department IV were charged with air-borne and amphibious operations. DepartmentV dealt with personnel matters and was underthe direction of Col William S. Bodner. Non-resident instruction by extension course forstudent officers was administered by Depart-ment VI under Col James B. Evans. Anotherinstructional group, Department VII, was es-tablished that year to prepare and present in-struction in the tactical employment of nuclearweapons. These instructors, under Col KarlF. Eklund, occupied Pope Hall where they pre-sented their first course of instruction in thefall of 1952.

The curriculum of the College was plannedand administered as directed by the AssistantCommandant. Emphasis was placed on com-mand responsibilities, the functions of the gen-eral staff as it contributes to command, and thecoordination of the general staff operating asa team.2 Instruction was, as it is now, basedupon a process of learning by application. Thestudent became familiar with the subject mat-ter by individual reading and study outsidescheduled class hours. The subject matter wasthen clarified by classroom application throughthe use of practical exercises, map exercises,and conferences. Most of the instruction waspresented to groups of from 50 to 80 studentseach.

The Program of Instruction for the Regularcourse totaled 1,253 hours of classroom workand related activities. Students began theirstudies with a thorough grounding in the prin-ciples of war and fundamentals of combat, and

2 Instructional Circular No. 1, Command and GeneralStaff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, 1 September1953.

-36-

continued through field army operations. Anexercise designed around a joint Army, Navy,and Air Force operation, including an amphibi-ous landing and an airborne assault, put thestudents through their paces in a realistic man-ner. Fifteen examinations took up 58 hoursof the course as a means for student evalua-tion.

THE DOCTRINAL MISSIONAn object of continuous study within the

area of operations of the Command and GeneralStaff College had been the relationship of thestaff and faculty to the formulation of tacticaldoctrine' for the Army. When Maj Gen Gar-rison H. Davidson arrived at the College asCommandant in July 1964, he reviewed thedoctrinal mission as stated in SR 350-5-5: "toinitiate action as necessary to formulate orrevise (tactical and logistical) doctrine (of thecombined arms and services)." This missionwas especially significant at the time becauseof the tactical adaptations for the conduct ofland warfare resulting from the existence ofnuclear weapons. At that time a relativelysmall section of 12 officers was charged withthe development of future doctrine, while theresponsibility for current doctrine was splitbetween the Executive for Instruction and theExecutive for Research and Evaluation. Realiz-ing that current doctrine was the basis for thecurriculum at the College, the Commandant as-signed this area of responsibility to the Execu-tive for Instruction, Col John A. Gavin. Forthe development of future doctrine, an organi-zation based on a weapon system approachwas established. This new organization wasplaced under the direct supervision of Col SethL. Weld, Jr., the Executive for Research andAnalysis. It was composed of three agencies:Current Analysis Section (CAS), Combat De-velopments Department (CDD), and AdvancedOperations Research Department (AORD).AORD was concerned with developing doctrinewithin a long-range time frame of 10 or moreyears in the future. CDD was assigned a similarfunction, but limited to a midrange time frameof 5 years. The CAS function was to handle

3"Principles, policies, and concepts, applicable to asubject, which are derived from experience or theory,compiled and taught for guidance. It represents thebest available thought that can be defended by reason."-Dictionary of US Army Terms, Department of theArmy, January 1961.

doctrinal studies and other similar projectsassigned to the College by outside agencies,thus freeing AORD and CDD from the inter-ruptions of planned operations that these ac-tivities had caused in the past.

A total of 42 officer positions were includedin the faculty organization for doctrinal mat-ters and, eventually, 35 of these spaces werefilled. To insure that the best qualified officerswere made available to fill the authorizedspaces, General Davidson wrote and talked withthe chief of each technical service, and per-sonally visited in Washington, D.C., with arepresentative of each arm and service. Allwere keenly interested and enthusiastic intheir support of the College effort in this field.

STAFF REORGANIZATIONAnother major action undertaken by General

Davidson in 1954 was the reorganization of theCollege staff along directorate rather thanexecutive lines. A feature of the existing or-ganization that appeared to warrant correctionwas the span of control that was required bythe Assistant Commandant, who had 21 officersreporting to him directly. The Commandantdirected an ad hoc committee to take thematter under study, and the committee's recom-mendations were placed in effect about 1 yearlater.

A significant aspect of the resulting reorgani-zation was the assignment of all instructionalresponsibilities to a Director of Instruction.Col William W. Culp, the first officer to occupythis position, was placed in charge of the resi-dent and nonresident instruction departments-seven in number. An academic staff, the specialrepresentatives of the technical and adminis-trative services, and sections representing theother US Armed Forces, as well as liaison of-ficers from Great Britain and France, wereunder his supervision. In short order, the Di-rector of Instruction became the focal pointaround which the execution of the College in-structional mission revolved. The two otherdirectorate agencies constituting the new or-ganization were the Director of Research andAnalysis, previously mentioned, and the of-fice of College Secretary, then directed by ColJohn F. Franklin, Jr., which carried out theadministrative and supply functions for theCollege, supervised the Printing Plant, the

-37-

Bookstore, the Library, and many other activi-ties.

Simultaneously with this reorganization, acurriculum plan was devised to start with the1956-57 Regular Course, which featured fourphases of instruction. Phase I familiarized thestudent with certain basic principles and tech-niques, phase II was devoted to the applicationof these principles and techniques to the solu-tion of relatively simple military problems,while phase III was concerned with increas-ingly broader and more complex problems andsituations. Phase IV consisted of subject mat-ter which would provide the student a generalunderstanding of military affairs to widen hisknowledge and background. The first three ofthese phases were presented in numerical se-quence, with a certain desirable degree of over-lap. The phase IV subjects were interspersedthroughout the entire course.

STUDENT ACTIVITIESThe Regular Class of 1954-55 engaged in a

publishing venture that produced a class year-book to preserve the memory of their tour atFort Leavenworth. This was the first projectof this type to be accomplished by student of-ficers as far as can be determined. The result-ing volume, titled The Bell, established aprecedent that has been followed by the publica-tion of a similar yearbook by each succeedingRegular Class. Lt Col Jack N. Hemingwayserved as Editor-in-Chief for the first year-book staff of 52 officers and 6 wives. The book,which was prepared for the presses in anamazingly short period of time, presented anattractively balanced reflection of the seriousand humorous side of student life, and alsoincluded separate group photographs of eachstudent officer and his family. Cartoon work bystudent artists gave recognition to a commonacademic affliction known as the "green sheetshakes." This phrase described a state of trepi-dation experienced prior to committing one'smemory and knowledge to written solutions onthe familiar green-colored examination answersheets.

The class will be sure to remember the hoursspent on staff studies examining the practicalityof combining the G2 and G3 operations; thetimes when the 201st Armored Cavalry wascalled upon to save the day in a theoreticalproblem situation; and the classroom time ex-

pended in fruitless efforts to enable the 20thDivision to capture the French town of Lam-baille. Recollections of the days spent in GruberHall include the evasive action required to eludethe persistent wasps attending classes with thestudents, and the flexibility of classroom ar-rangements made possible by a rather com-plicated system of movable walls. These adapta-ble partitions had already been "immortalized"by a student's poem that concluded:

... and when I make my last long hike,If the heavenly host are workmanlike,Those Pearly Gates will open like-The folding walls of Gruber.'

EDUCATIONAL SURVEY COMMISSIONIn 1955, General Davidson, as Commandant

of the College, requested an objective evaluationof the academic operation at Fort Leavenworthfrom an "outsider's" point of view. The lastsuch appraisal, made in 1946 by a group ofprominent civilian educators, resulted in theadoption of numerous changes and modifica-tions in the College curriculum and instruc-tional methods. Because of the many develop-ments in the College that had occurred since1946, the Commandant decided that it was timefor another survey. Whereas the original sur-vey group had been composed entirely of civil-ian members, General Davidson felt that it wasdesirable to have the survey performed by acombination of military personnel and civilians.

The Educational Survey Commission wasmade up of three corps commanders of WorldWar II; retired Lieutenant Generals Troy H.Middleton, Geoffrey Keyes, and Manton S.Eddy. The remainder of the commission con-sisted of three civilian educators, with equallydistinguished backgrounds in their fields;Doctors Harl Douglass, H. F. Harding, andJacob S. Orleans.' The commission was in ses-sion at the Post in January and March of 1956,and submitted a final report that June.

In general terms, the Survey Commission in-dorsed the operations of the College and ap-proved recent efforts by the staff and facultyto increase the educational stature of the insti-

tution. The final report included numerousspecific recommendations for possible improve-ment and areas that appeared to warrantstudy. The commission's report was com-pleted within weeks of General Davidson's de-parture and the incoming Commandant, Gen-eral McGarr, understandably deferred action onthe recommendations until he could completea personal and directed study of the academicsituation of the time. It should be noted thatGeneral McGarr did concur later in over two-thirds of the commission's recommendationsand incorporated them in the next major re-visions within the College.

DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATIONThe 7th of May 1956 marked the 75th an-

niversary of the founding of the military schoolsystem at Fort Leavenworth which had devel-oped into the Command and General Staff Col-lege, and a Diamond Jubilee Program washeld at the Post to commemorate the occasion.The scheduled ceremonies included an addressby the Secretary of the Army, Wilbur M.Brucker, a reception and luncheon for some500 invited military and civilian guests, and aparade by the 16th Infantry Regiment of the1st Infantry Division from Fort Riley, Kansas.This parade also marked the first time that aunit of the 16th Infantry had set foot on theFort Leavenworth Reservation since 1899 whenelements of the regiment had departed thePost for service in the Spanish-American War.Another feature of the program was the presen-tation to the College of the original "Leaven-worth Lamp" by the Kansas City Chapter,Military Order of the World Wars. This lampwas the outcome of a desire of the Commandantin 1955 for a traditional symbol of learningsuitable for an award to indicate past mem-bership on the College staff and faculty. Thefollowing description of the lamp is based onthe design finally approved as a composite ofideas submitted in a Post-wide suggestion con-test held in October 1955:

The base is the traditional lamp of learn-ing symbolizing the knowledge acquired atthe College-from which is emerging amailed fist symbolizing the military natureof the knowledge taught at the College.

Clenched in the fist are a rifle and swordconnoting the origin of the College in 1881as the School for Application of Infantry and

Cavalry in the past with a guided missilesymbolizing the future.

The entire symbol thus represents theidea that from the College emerge the leaders,who with their knowledge and control ofthe past, present, and future weapons ofwar protect our liberty.'

The lamp was unveiled before SecretaryBrucker and the large audience which hadgathered in Andrews Hall to hear the Honor-able Mr. Brucker's address. The first of manyminiature replicas of the original LeavenworthLamp was presented to General Davidson inJuly of 1956 immediately prior to his departurefrom the Post.

Other visible evidence of General Davidson'stour as Commanding General of Fort Leaven-worth is the distinctive shoulder patch nowworn by all military personnel assigned to theCollege and the Post garrison. The request forsuch a patch was submitted in 1954 and wasapproved and authorized for wear in June1956. The official description of this now-fa-miliar patch reads:

On a white shield 21/2 inches in width and21/2 inches in height overall, with a 1/8 inchred border, a blue chevron between threeblue lamps, two at the top above the chevronand one below.

The design is based on the shield of thedevice approved for the school.7

MAJOR REVISIONSIn July of 1956 a new Commandant, Maj Gen

Lionel C. McGarr arrived at the Command andGeneral Staff College. Several factors indicatedto General McGarr the necessity for furtherrevisions of the College organization and cur-riculum. Most apparent among these factorswere the report of the Educational Survey Com-mission, a USCONARC requirement directingincreased emphasis on nuclear weapons in-struction and nuclear warfare, and the pendingconversion of the Army's divisions to the pen-tomic battle group structure.

Because of the magnitude of the changes en-visioned by the Commandant, and the necessityfor maintaining continuity of student instruc-tion and College operation, a transitional or-ganization of instructional committees wasplanned and established to commence academicpreparations for the Regular Course of 1957-58. The personnel required to staff these com-mittees were drawn from the officers assignedto the existing instructional departments. Thedepartments continued with the instruction ofthe classes in residence, but gradually trans-ferred increasing numbers of personnel to theinstructional planning committees as they weremade available by the completion of courses.The result was an orderly transfer of all neces-sary personnel to the new committees whichwas completed during the academic break be-tween Regular Courses in the summer of 1957.The planning committees then became the in-structional departments for the next scheduledcourses. A large share of the credit for this re-organization and complete revision of the Col-lege curriculum is due to Col Ward S. Ryan,who was appointed as the coordinator for theentire project.

The revised organization was a departurefrom the centrally controlled director staffconcept in that the principal College staff wasnow composed of assistants to the assistantcommandant (a title later changed to chief).These positions initially included an As-sistant for Resident Instruction, first filledby Col Harold C. Davall; an Assistant for Non-resident Instruction, to which Col Edward C.Dunn was appointed; and an Assistant for Re-search and Analysis with Col William M. Con-nor first assuming those duties. Later in the

same year, the office of the Assistant for Re-search and Analysis was eliminated and themissions it had served were expanded and as-signed to the newly created positions of the As-sistant for Doctrine and the Assistant for Com-bat Developments. Colonels Dunn and VictorW. Hobson, respectively, were the initial headsof these activities.

The instructional departments that grew outof the planning committee system were estab-lished along more functional, self-containedlines. The Departments of Nonresident Instruc-tion and Special Weapons, which had previ-ously been functionally organized departments,were retained intact within the new structureof the College staff and faculty. The remaininginstructional responsibilities were assumed bythe Departments of the Armored Division, theInfantry Division, Airborne Operations andArmy Aviation (later this department wasalso to include Unconventional Warfare), Staffand Education, Larger Units and Administra-tive Support, and Combat Developments. Sepa-rate doctrinal elements, consisting of a nucleusof officers assigned this function on a full-timebasis, were formed within each of the depart-ments. These elements assisted the College inkeeping abreast of the expanding doctrinalmission by conducting the actual review, revi-sion, and development of doctrine. Depart-mental coordination in doctrinal matters wasaccomplished by the Assistant for Doctrine.

Another feature of this reorganization wasthe elimination of the academic staff. Underthe new concept of decentralization, which hadbeen recommended by the Educational SurveyCommission, the instructional departmentswere granted increased authority for the devel-opment of curriculum content which had for-merly been controlled by the academic staff.A decentralization of subject matter review waseffected, with this responsibility delegated tothe departments, as opposed to the previouscontrol of these matters by a College reviewboard.

The curriculum for the 1957-58 academicyear was completely rewritten. When placedinto effect, the Regular Course program devotedapproximately 67 percent of the instructionto intelligence and operations subjects, with theremainder taken up by logistics, personnel,and civil affairs subjects. With the outbreak ofsmall-scale aggression in several areas through-

-40

out the world, recognition was given to thenecessity for increased emphasis on limitedwar. Applicatory instruction with geographicalproblem settings was almost equally dividedbetween general war and limited war situa-tions, with about 7 percent of the instructionoriented on conditions short of actual war. Inthe past, nearly 90 percent of the locales forthis applicatory instruction had been in west-ern Europe. The new program of instruc-tion placed over 30 percent of these problemsettings in eastern Europe (to include theUSSR), and another 40 percent in the MiddleEast, Africa, and Asia.

A standard 6-hour academic day was estab-lished with instruction equally divided betweenthe morning and afternoon periods. Thismethod of operation lent itself to the develop-ment of classroom instruction around 3-hourinstructional blocks, and greatly facilitatedscheduling of the program.

BELL HALLOf tremendous importance to the growth and

development of the Command and General StaffCollege was the completion of this new aca-demic building. General Davidson had traveledto Washington, D. C., in mid-1955 to appear be-fore the Senate Appropriations Committeeand was successful in obtaining the reinstate-ment of the project in the Military Construc-tion Program. The House Military Affairs Com-mittee had previously approved the expenditureof funds for such a project, but the bill waseliminated by the House of Representatives.Plans for the building were developed and ap-proved, Congressional approval was granted inthe summer of 1956, and construction beganthe following November.

This $5 million structure was dedicatedon 14 January 1959 to the memory of Maj GenJames Franklin Bell, a holder of the Medal ofHonor. General Bell had been instrumental inassisting the Secretary of War in the develop-ment of an overall plan for the Army educa-tional system following the conclusion of theSpanish-American War. In recognition of theability he had displayed in this connection, Gen-eral Bell was designated Commandant of theSchools and Staff College at Fort Leavenworthduring the years 1903-06. While in that capacityhe established a reputation as the founder ofmodern methods of instruction in the Army.

Secretary of the Army Wilbur M. Brucker,

on his second trip to the Post within a year,delivered the dedication address at ceremoniesheld in the spacious auditorium of Bell Hall.The ceremonies included a symbolic completionof the laying of the cornerstone, and the un-covering of a memorial plaque in General Bell'shonor. The activities of this day culminatedthe efforts of past commandants and facultymembers, originating as early as 1935, to ob-tain an academic facility which would supportadequately the contributions by the College tothe Army and the Nation.

J. Franklin Bell Hall is a figure 4 shapedbuilding situated on Arsenal Hill overlookingthe Missouri River. It contains over 300,000square feet of floor space. Its unique designprovides a two-story classroom and auditoriumunit, a basement unit, and a three-story officeunit containing a faculty briefing room, library,and offices. The classroom wing contains 24large, fully equipped classrooms which will eachaccommodate 55 students with ease. The mainauditorium has a capacity of 1,425 personsand the faculty briefing room has over 300seats. Bell Hall's completion made possible theconsolidation of academic facilities which hadbeen housed either in antiquated buildings orconverted structures dispersed over a consider-able area of the Post. Two individuals most in-timately concerned with the interior arrange-ments and appointments of the ultramodernbuilding were Dr. Ivan J. Birrer, the CollegeEducational Advisor, and Maj Wilfred C.Washcoe, the head of the College Editing and

-41-

Publishing Unit. With the increase in class-room space and other facilities provided byBell Hall, an increased student enrollment wasauthorized by the Department of the Armycommencing with the 1959-60 academic year.The Regular Course was planned for a studentbody of 750 officers, and 400 officers were toattend the Associate Courses.

The College in 1959 prepared to sponsor acourse to be conducted under the auspices ofthe Chief of Information. First known as theSpecial Information Course for Reserve Com-ponents Officers, it was designed to providepersonnel in the civilian community from thefields of information, education, public rela-tions, and politics with an understanding ofArmy requirements, developments, missions,and goals. The first class was held for 2 weeksin August of the same year for 50 selected of-ficers. Guest speakers and instructors fromvarious Department of the Army agencies wereprovided to augment the instruction preparedand presented by the College staff and faculty.8

NUCLEAR WEAPONS INSTRUCTIONSlide rules, P(f) nomographs, scaling laws,

and nuclear damage templates became tools ofthe military trade as instruction to provide therequisite knowledge for the tactical employ-ment of nuclear weapons was added to the Col-lege curriculum. First presented by the Collegein a 6-week course in the fall of 1952, nuclearweapons instruction had developed into twocourses by 1956. A 5-week course was presentedto students selected Army-wide, and a 31/2-week course was presented to selected gradu-ates of the Regular and Associate Courses totrain specialists in this field. These NuclearWeapons Employment Courses (NWEC) con-tinued in this manner until the shorter coursewas determinated at the direction of USCON-ARC in 1958. Responsibility for the 5-weekcourse was transferred to the Artillery andMissile School in July 1962 when the trainingrequirement had diminished because of the in-corporation of this instruction in the pro-grams of the branch service schools. A 1-weekrefresher course for officers previously awardedthe MOS prefix of a nuclear weapons employ-ment officer is conducted at the College on arecurring basis.

8 The last course of this type was conducted in June1963. No further such courses are scheduled.

A 2-week Senior Officer Nuclear WeaponsEmployment Course (SONWEC) was initiatedin March of 1957 with the purpose to trainmajor unit commanders and their senior staffofficers in the tactical, logistical, and adminis-trative doctrine, techniques, and procedures ap-plicable in employing nuclear weapons to sup-port Army operations, including training in thetechnical considerations and operations in-volved. In 1961, the course title was changedto the Senior Officers Advanced OperationsCourse, a title deemed better suited to indicatethat the course was no longer solely restrictedto nuclear weapons employment, but now pro-vided a working knowledge of considerationsapplicable to current and future warfare. Sixcourses of 1 week's duration were conductedduring fiscal year 1962. The course was dis-continued in May 1962 because of its closesimilarity to a course then commencing at theAir Defense School.

EDUCATIONAL ADVISORA unique position at the College is that of

the civilian Educational Advisor. His dutiesinvolve advising and providing consultation tothe staff and faculty on matters of educationalpolicy, methods, and procedures. Dr. Ivan J.Birrer has ably filled this position since 1948,and has become a familiar personality tothousands of officers serving tours of duty atthe Post. He has provided invaluable continuityin College operations and developments overthe years, as the military membership of theCollege has changed time and again, and itseducational philosophy has been progressivelydeveloped. In recognition of Dr. Birrer's out-standing contribution to the College, he re-ceived the Meritorious Civilian Service Awardin July 1960. General McGarr, in making thepresentation, paid tribute to the ability, loyalty,and sincerity Dr. Birrer has devoted to the Col-lege and the many community activities inwhich he is engaged. In a turnabout presenta-tion, the Educational Advisor then presentedthe Commandant a token from the staff andfaculty-a miniature Leavenworth Lamp-commemorating the close of General McGarr'seventful tour at the Post.

ACADEMIC AWARDSTwo awards for student academic achieve-

ment have been instituted at the College in re-cent years. The General George C. Marshall

-42

award to the top student of a graduating classwas presented by Gen George H. Decker, theArmy Chief of Staff, during graduation cere-monies of the Associate Course on 16 December1960. This distinction for scholastic accom-plishment was accorded for the first time to LtCol John A. Ely. The initial presentation of theGen John J. Pershing award was made to LtCol Asa Barnard in June 1962. This engravedmedallion recognizes the first-ranking studentin the 5-year USAR school program of exten-sion and resident instruction. Appropriately,the award was established 40 years from thetime that General Pershing, then War Depart-ment Chief of Staff, had ordered the initiationof an Army extension course program.

EFFECTS OF THE ARMY REORGANIZATIONThe organization and routine of the College

had remained relatively stable since 1957 untila change was required by the major reorganiza-tion of the Department of the Army in mid-1962. A part of this reorganization providedfor the forming of the Army Combat Develop-ments Command which would consolidate underone agency the combat developments missionsthen assigned to USCONARC, the technical andadministrative services, and other agencies.The mission of this command included the de-velopment of "doctrine and the preparation oftables of organization and equipment and fieldmanuals to disseminate new or revised doctrinalconcepts."' This mission assignment reducedthe doctrinal and combat developments func-tions previously performed by the College. TheChief of Resident Instruction, Col Jasper J.Wilson, was then given the responsibility forinsuring that the instruction presented at theCollege conformed with current doctrine andArmy policy.

Concurrently with the relief from the doc-trinal mission, the teaching departments under-went a reorganization which provided for aneven more functional assignment of respon-sibility. Five departments were established, in-cluding the Department of Nonresident Instruc-tion which remained essentially the same asbefore. The new faculty structure consisted ofthe following departments and assigned objec-tives. The Department of Command, headed byCol Wilson M. Hawkins, was to give resident

instruction in the art of command; the func-tions, techniques, procedures, and relationshipsof the staff; the command, staff, and technicalaspects of the employment of special weapons;political-military theory; and the basis of na-tional strategic planning. The Department ofDivision Operations formed under Col Law-rence M. Wilson was to give resident instruc-tion in division operations, less joint and com-bined aspects. Col William H. Blakefield, as-signed as the Secretary of the College in 1963,was placed in charge of the Department ofJoint, Combined, and Special Operations whichwas to present instruction in joint and com-bined operations; joint operations to includeairborne, amphibious, air-ground, and air de-fense operations; counterinsurgency and un-conventional warfare; psychological warfare;electronic warfare; and war gaming. ColAugustus T. Terry, Jr., was placed in chargeof the Department of Larger Unit Operationswhich dealt with resident instruction in corps(less the airborne corps) and field army opera-tions; and combat service support of largerunits (above division level) including the em-ployment of logistical commands. °1

Another change placed in effect at the sametime was the elimination of the final specializedphases of instruction in either the combat orlogistical fields for the students of the AssociateCourses. The course duration was increased to18 weeks and one common program of instruc-tion became effective for all Associate classmembers.

CONCLUSIONThe years in the history of the U. S. Army

Command and General Staff College treated inthis chapter have brought about the growthand development of the College to an undis-puted position as the senior Army school oftactical knowledge-a status that has beenjustly accorded worldwide recognition. TheCollege programs have matured and crystal-lized to the extent that major changes appearneither justified nor required in the foreseeablefuture. This has been made possible only by theevolution of an academic institution with suf-ficient inherent flexibility in operation andphilosophy to maintain its leading position inthe Army's role of national defense.

CHAPTER VTHE COLLEGE TODAY

The year 1963 passed without interruptionor disturbance of planned operations as theacademic mission of the U. S. Army Commandand General Staff College was accomplished.Students arriving for the first course of thecalendar year-the spring Associate Course-reported to Bell Hall for registration andprocessing and were greeted with the efficiencywhich has become an accustomed feature of thePost and College functioning. Procedures forthis purpose have been effectively establishedto take care of the multitude of details thatan officer must attend to upon arrival at a newpost. For this one centralized operation, theprocessing line includes representation from

all Post activities, official and extracurricular.Students are able to accomplish every require-ment from the completion of travel vouchersto registering their automobiles. The samefriendly assistance was experienced in thelate summer by the more than 700 members ofthe 1963-64 Regular Class when they foundthat quarters had been assigned and house-hold goods moved in; or cots, bedding, andother furnishings set up until their personaleffects would arrive. With the Regular Class inresidence, and either the spring or fall As-sociate Courses underway, the student popula-tion at Fort Leavenworth approaches 1,200officers.

A perpetual student problem arises in thesearch for automobile parking spaces in thevicinity of Bell Hall. Some students effectivelysolve this problem with bicycle transportation,while many others walk to and from classesand thereby obtain the benefits of exercise tocompensate for an otherwise fairly sedentaryacademic day. Student athletic programs areorganized for each class to furnish physicalexertion to alleviate the mental exertion thatoccurs during the schoolday. Students work offexcess energy, maintain physical fitness, and oc-casionally break bones in intramural volley-ball, bowling, basketball, softball, and tennistournaments as well as in many other Postsports facilities.

Friday evening is generally a period of re-laxation for the students after the conclusionof the week's classes. Much of informal en-tertaining takes place in student family quar-ters, and the activity in the large student apart-ment building known as the Beehive leavesno doubt concerning the reason for its name.Many student officers gather at the Officers'Club during "happy hour" for animated discus-sions during which the classroom battles arerefought and the college solution is a muchdiscussed topic. The average student, however,spends much of his weekend time studyingin preparation for the coming week. The Col-lege sets a traditionally demanding pace forits students, emphasizing military educationrather than training.

THE STAFF AND FACULTYThe College at present is organized to oper-

ate within the guidelines and general policiesprescribed by the Commandant, Maj Gen HarryJ. Lemley, Jr., and under the supervision of theAssistant Commandant, Brig Gen Elias C.Townsend. The College Secretary, Col WilliamH. Blakefield, is the principal subordinate to theAssistant Commandant in the planning, prepa-ration, and conduct of College affairs. The bulkof College staff functions are delegated to threecoordinating agencies: the offices of the Chiefof Resident Instruction, the Chief of Non-resident Instruction, and the Secretariat.

Col Francis W. O'Brien, as Chief of ResidentInstruction, is responsible for the staff super-vision of the instruction presented to students

at the College and for the recommendation ofpolicy concerning the curriculum. The Chiefof Nonresident Instruction, Col Richard M.Leonard, exercises similar authority over theCollege programs of nonresident instruction.

On two occasions in 1963, the College struc-ture underwent revision. With the first re-vision, the Office of the Secretary assumedseveral responsibilities which had been dele-gated previously to the Chiefs of Resident andNonresident Instruction and the Class Super-visor. These included the classroom support forthe resident courses, the assembly and distribu-tion of resident and nonresident instructionalmaterials, and the administration, direction,and supervision of the resident US students.Also assigned to this office was the supervisoryresponsibility for the Army Field Printing andInstructional Aids Plant and the College BookStore. These functions were placed underthe staff supervision of Col I. L. Luthi withthe title of Deputy Secretary/Class Director,and the entire agency was titled the CollegeSecretariat.

The second revision resulted in the discon-tinuance of the Department of NonresidentInstruction. Responsibility for the preparationof nonresident courses and instructional ma-terial was given to the appropriate residentdepartments, thus consolidating all instruc-tional activities.

Organization of the instructional depart-ments and the responsibilities discharged byeach remain as discussed in the precedingchapter. The services of a variety of otherspecial staff sections and agencies also con-tribute to the depth of experience within thebroad scope of the College staff and faculty ac-tivities. Liaison officers from the British,French, and Canadian Armies present residentinstruction and advise on matters concern-ing their respective armed forces. In May1963 arrangements were completed for aliaison officer from the Federal Republic ofGermany to be assigned to the College, the of-ficer to be named at a later date. Representa-tives of the US Navy, Marine Corps, andAir Force accomplish identical duties fortheir Services. A group of US Army specialrepresentatives from the technical and adminis-trative services are assigned within the in-structional departments to furnish advice and

assistance in areas related to their branchesand agencies.

RESIDENT COURSESThe Regular Course program for the 1963-

64 academic year was designed:To provide officers with a working knowl-

edge for wartime and peacetime duty, toinclude the joint aspects thereof, as com-manders and general staff officers at division,corps, field army, and army group (opera-tions only) to include their combat supportsystems. To provide a basis for satisfac-tory performance in a wide variety of com-mand and staff positions at nontactical head-quarters. To provide the basis for futuredevelopment for progression to higher com-mand and staff responsibilities.'Over 1,150 hours of academic instruction

were included in the Regular Course, of whichover 40 percent were scheduled for practicalwork and about 30 percent for conferences.The course included 670 US officers whoaverage 35 years of age and 12 years of com-missioned service. Over 80 percent of the stu-dents were in the grade of major. Prerequisitesfor attendance included a maximum age of 40years, a minimum of 8 but not more than 15years of promotion list service for RegularArmy officers, a minimum of 8 but not morethan 15 years commissioned service for Reserveofficers on extended active duty, and a minimumof 8 years commissioned service for ReserveComponent officers in an active status but noton active duty.2 In addition to the US members,the class included 75 Allied officers in the gradesof captain through brigadier general repre-senting the armed forces of 46 foreign coun-tries.

Two Associate Courses were scheduled forthe 1963-64 academic year. Each of these 18-week courses was programed for 448 studentsof the Regular Army, Reserve Components onactive duty or active duty for training only,and our Allied armed forces. Nearly 45 per-cent of the first class was made up of RegularArmy officers. The stated purpose of this courseis:

To provide officers with a working knowl-edge for wartime and peacetime duty as com-

manders and general staff officers of divisionsand logistical commands and a general knowl-edge of the duties of commander and gen-eral staff officers at corps and field army toinclude their combat support systems. Toprovide the basis for future development forprogression to higher command and staffresponsibilities.3

Qualifications for attendance at the AssociateCourse are the same as those established forthe Regular Course except that a student maybe 44 years of age, Regular Army officers musthave between 15 and 19 years of promotion list

service, and Reserve Component officers onactive duty must not have over 19 years ofcommissioned service.'

A preparatory course is conducted prior tothe beginning of each Regular Course at theCollege. This course is provided for the Alliedstudents, US officers of the Navy, Marine Corps,and Air Force, and selected US Army officers.It is a resident course of 8 weeks to pre-pare students for the Regular Course and toorient the Allied officers on the customs andtraditions of the United States. The course ispresented in two phases, with the US officersjoining the Allied students for phase II, thefinal 3 weeks of the instruction.

Allied officers scheduled for an AssociateCourse attend a similar precourse orientationfor 1 week. Future plans provide that all Alliedstudents who attend the Associate Course willgo to the first (or fall) course of each aca-demic year. Under this plan, these Allied stu-

dents will also attend the 8-week preparatorycourse along with the Regular Course Alliedofficers, and the 1-week orientation programwill be discontinued.

In both the Regular and Associate Courses,Allied students receive an 18-hour instructororientation program to prepare them for in-structor duties if they are so assigned uponreturn to their countries. This program isscheduled during the time the US students ofthe class are receiving classified instruction.

Two types of Command and General StaffOfficer Refresher Courses are also conductedat the College. Of these, a 1-week combat divi-sion course is presented to two classes, each ofapproximately 230 students, during the earlysummer months. One class is composed ofNational Guard division commanders, generalstaff officers, and their principal assistants. Theother class consists of officers assigned tosimilar positions in Army Reserve divisions andmaneuver area commands. The purpose ofboth courses is identical-"to provide refreshertraining as a unit to commanders and staffs ofNational Guard and Army Reserve, armored,mechanized, infantry, and training divisions,and maneuver area commands; to develop staffteamwork; and to instruct in the application ofcurrent doctrine."'

The second type of refresher course, also 1week long, is scheduled once a year for about60 officers assigned as commanders, operationalstaff section directors, and their principal as-sistants of Army Reserve logistical commands.This course provides "military training andeducation as a unit to commanders and staffsof Army Reserve logistical commands, includ-ing the principles and techniques of combatservice support provided by a communicationszone for one or more field armies."'

The College prepares newly assigned mem-bers of the staff and faculty for instructorduties by an Instructor Training Course whichis scheduled prior to the start of each academicyear and at other times as required. Thesecourses, a little over 1 week in duration, orientthe prospective instructors on the College or-

ganization and operation, instructional philos-ophy, and methodology, and provide them withpractical work in the preparation and presenta-tion of instruction. Additional training forauthor/instructors is provided by an annualInstructor Workshop. The lecture and con-ference periods of this course afford a staff andfaculty understanding of the College guidanceand curriculum changes directed for the comingacademic year, and include discussions of prob-lems and various means to overcome them.

Typical classroom arrangement in Bell Hall

NONRESIDENT INSTRUCTIONNonresident programs of instruction have

been.developed concurrently with the residentprograms of the College to provide professionalmilitary education for present and potentialcommanders and general staff officers of allthree Army components. The courses presentedare in two categories-career courses andspecial courses. Career courses are the USARSchool Associate Command and General StaffCourse and the USACGSC Extension Course.The special courses are the Special ExtensionCourse-Preparatory and the Special Exten-sion Course-Graduate Refresher.

The USAR School Associate Command andGeneral Staff Course is a 5-year program ofclassroom instruction for Reserve Componentofficers conducted for approximately 120hours a year. The instruction each year isdivided into two periods. The reserve dutytraining period consists of 24 classroom as-semblies, each lasting 2 hours, conducted fromSeptember through May at a USAR school inthe student's community. The second periodis a 2-week active duty encampment during

-47-

June, July, or August at an Active Army sitein the student's army area. The active dutytraining period in the fifth and final year isconducted at Fort Leavenworth for all students.The entire program of instruction closely paral-lels the resident Associate Course, and studentswho successfully complete the course areawarded a diploma from the College. The USARschools are staffed by Reserve officers not onactive duty, and are supervised by the appro-priate corps commanders and school comman-dants.

The USACGSC Extension Course also paral-lels the resident Associate Course and is pre-sented by correspondence to members of allArmy components. It consists of 28 subcourses,each of which contains from three to nine les-sons. Students who satisfactorily complete allsubcourses are awarded a certificate of com-pletion by the College. They may obtain a di-ploma by attending the 2-week fifth year activeduty training period of resident instruction atFort Leavenworth. The programs of thiscourse and the USAR schools course have beendesigned to permit students to transfer fromone to the other to alleviate conflicts withtheir civilian occupations and duties with theirreserve units.

The Special Extension Course-Preparatorywas initiated in 1958 and is now sent to allofficers selected to attend the Regular and As-sociate Courses. It is a course of self-instruc-tion containing material designed to introducethe selected officers to the basic terms, pro-cedures, concepts, and organizations used inresident instruction at the College.

A Graduate Refresher Extension Course isavailable to graduates of either resident ornonresident courses of the College as a meansof keeping up with the latest College instruc-tion on Army doctrine, organization, techniques,and procedures. The course was first offered in1960 and consists of eight lessons in two partsto permit incorporation of the latest informa-tion. The first part is issued in January andthe second part in June.

Additionally, the office of the Chief of Non-resident Instruction distributes staff trainingmaterial to Reserve Component units whichsupplements the instruction presented in theresident refresher courses. All available mate-rial is listed in a catalog published annually,and provides up to 120 hours of instructional

subjects applicable to the various Reserve Com-ponent units.

In May 1961 a 1-week instructor trainingconference was instituted for the officers whoinstruct in the USAR School Associate Com-mand and General Staff Courses. The primarypurpose of this conference is to familiarizethese selected instructors with the educationalphilosophy and policies of the College, and thuspromote high standards of instruction in theUSAR schools. The principal objective of thistraining is to provide at least one instructorgraduate for each USAR school. As of May1963, 207 instructors from 97 schools had at-tended this conference.

THE ALLIED PERSONNEL PROGRAMEach year, officers from Allied nations all

over the world converge on Fort Leavenworthto attend the Regular and Associate Coursesof the College. This interesting aspect of theCollege operation is one of the most unique, andmost potentially rewarding, of the activitiesat the Post.

The program for the officers of countriesallied with the United States had its modestbeginning in 1894 with the enrollment of alieutenant of the Swiss army for 6 months ofinstruction. In 1908, two officers from the Mexi-can Army attended the Staff College course, andthe pattern was established for the continuinginclusion of Allied officers in the residentcourses of instruction. By the end of the 1963-64 academic year approximately 2,600 Alliedofficers will have been graduated from the Col-lege. This program is a vitally important fea-ture of our Nation's efforts to strengthen thealliances with free nations of the world by in-creasing the professional competence of theirmilitary leaders.

Allied student officers are administered bythe Office of the Director Allied Personnel. Thisoffice, presently in the charge of Col David M.Ramsey, Jr., is responsible for all matters con-cerning the Allies except the instruction pre-sented in the courses. The organization con-sists of an Instructional Section and an Ad-ministrative and Personnel Affairs Section. Thefunctions of the latter section are for the mostpart explained by its title, and include theresolution of all the problems incidental to thestay of a visitor in a foreign land. The Instruc-tional Section plans and conducts preparatory

-48-

courses for the Allies and monitors their aca-demic progress, paying particular attention toany language difficulties they may encounter.In addition, the section arranges an orienta-tion program to acquaint these students withthe American way of life. The official phasesof this program include a wide variety of edu-cational films and visits to points of interestin the Middle West. A major feature of theprogram are trips to industrial centers and theWashington, D. C. area.

The Allied officers' lives at Fort Leavenworthare not devoted entirely to an official or academicexistence. It is essential that they feel at home,and this is capably handled by US officers andtheir families as well as families and civicgroups in the surrounding civilian community.Unofficially, the Allied officers and their fam-ilies are given an insight into American socialcustoms and activities both on and off the Post.An officer of the Fort Leavenworth garrison isassigned to each Allied officer on a voluntarybasis to sponsor his stay at the Post-a pro-gram which results in many mutually enjoyableand rewarding friendships. The InternationalGroup of the Fort Leavenworth Women's Clubplays a major role in making the Allied officersand their families welcome by providing as-sistance and social activities. Under the aus-pices of the local chapter of the Junior Chamberof Commerce, US families in Leavenworth areassigned, again on a voluntary basis, as civiliansponsors for each Allied family. The RotaryClubs of Leavenworth and Kansas City, theKansas City chapters of the American Red

Cross and Military Order of World Wars, andother civilian groups host a variety of socialfunctions for the Allied students each year.

In return for information acquired aboutthe United States, the Allied officers take advan-tage of an opportunity to increase the generalknowledge and appreciation of their countriesamong the US personnel at Fort Leavenworthby participating in the College "Know YourWorld" program. This program is a series oftravelogs presented by the Allied officers afternormal class hours. The periods are well at-tended and of great interest to military andcivilian personnel.

Through this program of academic and socialactivities, the Allied students take back to theircountries a well-grounded understanding ofwho we are, how we live, and what makes upour basic philosophies. They also become ac-quainted with other Allied students and, bytheir classroom and off-duty associations, fur-ther their understanding of the people andcustoms of many different nations.

THE MILITARY REVIEWThe Military Review is an official Army pub-

lication, published by specific authorization ofthe Department of the Army. Publication isfinanced with appropriated funds and themagazine is subject to Government printingregulations. The mission of the Military Reviewis to provide a forum for the expression ofmilitary thought, with emphasis on the doctrinepertaining to division and higher levels of com-mand. The views expressed in the magazineare those of the authors and are not necessarilythose of the Army or the Command and GeneralStaff College.

The Military Review accomplishes its mis-sion through the publication of original articlesof current interest by authoritative US andforeign authors, digests of selected articlesfrom foreign and domestic sources, reviews ofbooks on professional military subjects, and amilitary notes section of short, illustratedfeature items. Printed monthly and distributedto approximately 21,000 readers, the magazine'sinfluence extends over a wide area. It is avaluable source of material for the Commandand General Staff College, the Army War Col-lege, Army Reserve schools, and other Armyeducational and training facilities. It is alsostocked in the libraries of numerous civilian

-49-

universities, and principal US and foreign mili-tary installations.

In the furtherance of inter-American mili-tary knowledge and cooperation, the magazineis also published in Spanish for Latin and SouthAmerican countries, and in Portuguese fordistribution in Brazil. Publication of theSpanish-American edition is supervised by USArmy officers; the Brazilian edition, becauseof the extensive use of the publication by themilitary forces of that country, is edited by anofficer assigned by the Brazilian Ministry ofDefense. Recently, at the recommendation ofthe current Brazilian Editor, Lt Col Joao A.Faco, the Chief of the Brazilian Military Com-mission in Washington, D. C., assumed a degreeof responsibility for the Brazilian edition.

Significant changes in concept and formatof the Military Review have been implementedsince 1960 by the Editor in Chief, Col KennethE. Lay. Emphasis on purely doctrinal mattershas been deemphasized under the premise thatofficial field manuals are the appropriate pub-lications for the dissemination of doctrine. In1961 it was decided that each issue would pre-sent a balanced coverage of various subjectareas, rather than the special issue practiceof the past. Currently, for example, an issuemay contain a historical article, one on counter-insurgency, perhaps one on world strategy,another on division organization, and others.

A beneficial liaison relationship was estab-lished in 1961 when Lt Col Daniel E. Halpin,a member of the Army War College Faculty,was announced as an Associate Editor of theMilitary Review. In a mutual agreement be-tween the Commandants of the two colleges,this Associate Editor reviews possible sourcematerial at the War College for Military Re-view articles, and makes recommendations con-cerning publication to the editor in chief. Healso furnishes advice and assistance concerningsource material under consideration by the Mil-itary Review about which the War College mayhave particular knowledge.

Prior to 1961, editions of the Military Re-view reflected an austerity policy. Major con-sideration was given to economy of space, andwhite unprinted areas were regarded aswasteful. Understandably, this policy did notlend itself to the production of an attractive

magazine. The January 1961 edition of theMilitary Review introduced the new lookwhich was based, in part, upon a survey ofthe magazine's readers. Page size was increasedas was the type face. A simple, attractive coverdesign was incorporated and more liberal andjudicious use of illustrations and artwork wasemployed. The guideline was that each articlewould be treated as a separate case, illustratedand laid out in a manner best suited to make itattractive and readable. A military digests sec-tion of condensed reprints of previously pub-lished material was discontinued, with thesedigests treated similarly to original articles andinterspersed throughout the magazine.

The 40th year of publication was celebratedby the staff of the Military Review in February1962. An open house, held in the editorial of-fices, and an official reception were attended bymembers of the College staff and faculty, andcivilian guests prominent in the fields of edu-cational and commercial journalism. GenBarksdale Hamlett, the Army Deputy Chiefof Staff for Military Operations, was the guestof honor and speaker at the reception held atthe Officers' Open Mess. A program for con-tinued improvement in the publication of theMilitary Review was announced by the Com-mandant, General Johnson, and published ina special 40th Anniversary supplement to themagazine.

Effective with the November 1963 issue, anawards program to recognize outstanding au-thorship was established that differed fromprevious programs of this nature. As announcedby the Commandant, General Lemley, the pro-gram provides that authors of award articleswill receive a $25 bonus and an engraved cer-tificate in addition to a standard honorarium.Award articles will be selected, without regardto number, and announced in subsequent issuesof the Military Review. In a revised selectionprocess, each of the College departments andstaff agencies submits monthly nominations forevaluation by the Military Review staff whichwill, in turn, submit recommendations to theCommandant for final approval.

Other recent innovations designed to increasethe popularity and circulation, while improvingthe content of the magazine, include the distri-bution of informative news letters, a facts andfeatures handout for general use, a trial

-50-

subscription plan at reduced rates for gradu-ates of the College, and an effort to sell thethe Military Review in service school bookstores.

The above measures, and numerous others,have been taken at the offices of the MilitaryReview by a staff determined that the publica-tion will continue to warrant the tribute paid in1962 on the occasion of its 40th year of ex-istence:

Throughout this age of remarkable devel-opment, the Military Review has kept pacewith the needs of the Army it serves.Through its close association with the Com-mand and General Staff College, it has pro-vided an important medium for the presenta-tion and dissemination of Army doctrine. Asa forum for the expression of informed opin-ions and advanced thinking, the MilitaryReview has afforded our military leaders thatopportunity for critical analysis and frankevaluation which is so essential to progress.7

THE PRINTING PLANTAfter many years of operation with sections

physically separated in several locations, theArmy Field Printing and Instructional AidsPlant moved into its present location on GrantAvenue in 1950. The primary mission of thePlant is to provide printing and training aidsto support resident and nonresident instructionat the College. Within the capabilities of thePlant, support is also rendered to Post activi-ties and other authorized agencies. In addition,the Plant prints the Military Review and oper-ates an Audio-Visual Communications Center(formerly known as a Film and Equipment Ex-change) and a Photographic Laboratory.

As one of the more modern facilities of itstype in the Army, the Plant has undergonenumerous changes in recent years to effectgreater economy and more efficient use of man-power and material. These changes have in-cluded a phasing out of letterpress equipment,which has been replaced by cold-type composi-tion and an augmented lithographic capability.Modernized processes and the mechanizationof hand operations have been incorporated asnew equipment has become available to satisfyrequirements of the Plant. The College makes

extensive use of overhead transparencies as in-structional aids because of the ease with whichinformation can be imparted by this technique.The capability for production of these instruc-tional aids was significantly increased in 1952when a complete silk screen processing facilitywas added to the Plant, and again in 1956 whencolor film processing equipment was installedin the Photographic Laboratory.

Today the Army Field Printing and Instruc-tional Aids Plant is equipped and staffed toprovide limited letterpress printing; completelithographic printing of multi-colored maps,map overprints, and overlays; instructionaltexts and administrative publications; a widevariety of instructional aids; and photographicdevelopment and printing facilities in supportof the College and the Post.

LIBRARY DIVISIONAn important facility of the College today

is its Library Division under the supervisionof Mr. Anthony F. McGraw. The Library Divi-sion is administered by the College Secretariatto provide materials and assistance to the stu-dents, the staff and faculty, and the militarypersonnel and their dependents at Fort Leaven-worth. The Library has been a recognized ne-cessity for academic operations from the found-ing of the first school at the Post. From a ratherinauspicious start in those early years, almostentirely caused by a lack of funds, the Libraryhas grown to present holdings of over 85,000volumes and periodicals, more than a score ofnewspaper subscriptions, and a impressivenumber of pamphlets, documents, and taperecordings.

A College Archives was first established in1943 as a repository for numerous classifieddocuments received during World War II. In1963, the holdings of this document librarynumber over 230,000 items, including extensivefiles of microfilm, and provide an invaluablesource of military reference and backgroundmaterial in nearly every imaginable field. TheLibrary, which was located in Wagner Halluntil 1959, now occupies most of the secondand third floors in the center wing of Bell Hall.In 1963, the Archives was consolidated withthe Library and is now operated as an integralpart of the Library Division. The Library isused extensively at the present time in connec-

-51-

tion with administrative, educational, and re-search activities at the College.

GUEST SPEAKERSThe Guest Speaker Program of the College

has proved a most effective means to provide ageneral knowledge in support of the curriculumthrough the services of a vast array of authori-tative lecturers, both military and civilian. Asan indication of the importance currently at-tached to this facet of the College operation,about 40 eminently qualified speakers presentprovocative and vital topics to each RegularCourse. More than 100 hours are allotted forthis purpose.

Topics cover a broad spectrum ranging fromthe goals of US diplomacy and military strat-egy, current developments in critical geograph-ical areas of the world, communistic policiesand long-range plans, to the military possibili-ties enabled by technological advances in space.The last 30 to 40 minutes of a guest speakerpresentation are usually devoted to a questionand answer period. Often, following theformal presentation, seminars are scheduled,with the speaker and selected students examin-ing aspects of the subject matter in more detail.

The Chief of Resident Instruction is respon-sible for the implementation of the GuestSpeaker Program, which is developed by hisoffice and the instructional departments. Theprogram consists of two parts: College speak-ers and departmental speakers. The Collegespeakers present subject matter on broad topicswith general application to the curriculum as awhole, while the departmental speakers dis-cuss topics in support of a specific department.

During the 1958-59 academic year, the firstBritish lecturer to the United States under theexchange program sponsored by the KermitRoosevelt Foundation spoke at the College. Thislecture series has continued since that time.

The Guest Speaker Program is recognized asan important supplement to classroom instruc-tion at the College. During recent years, theCollege has been most successful in obtaining

as guest speakers high level military officersand civilians well qualified in their fields.

THE HONORS PROGRAMMembers of the 1963-64 class of the Com-

mand and General Staff Officer Course werethe first student officers to be offered an op-portunity to participate in a voluntary programofficially known as the Honors Program. On21 March 1963, this program was accreditedby the North Central Association of Collegesand Secondary Schools for the award of thedegree Master of Military Art and Science.Actual award of this degree cannot be ac-complished until approval is granted by theCongress of the United States. The Honors Pro-gram, which was designed to complement theRegular Course, consists of the course itself, athesis describing a research experience on asignificant problem within the scope of the Col-lege curriculum, and comprehensive writtenand oral examinations.

Lt Col Bruce C. Koch was appointed thespecial assistant to the College Secretary toplan and organize the program, and he workedclosely with Dr. Birrer in its development.Students electing to take advantage of the pro-gram are assigned faculty advisors to provideassistance in their research efforts.

Although the first Honors Program is sched-uled for completion subsequent to the time ofthis writing, this challenging addition to thecurriculum gives every indication of providingqualified students an opportunity to demon-strate their capacities for advanced scholar-ship. As such, it marks yet another milestonein the progress of the College.

CONCLUSIONThis chapter has covered briefly the present

organization, operation, and activities of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.Despite the certainty of predictable and un-foreseen future developments, the College canbe expected to insure, as it has so capably inthe past, that continuing service to the Armyand the Nation is rendered by an academic in-stitution "Prepared in Peace for War."

CHAPTER VICOMMUNITY LIFE

The greater portion of the Fort Leavenworthcommunity is made up of student officers andtheir families. This population, although pre-dictably transitory, is accorded treatment atthe Post in keeping with~ the justifiable im-portance attached to the end product of theU. S. Army Command and General Staff College

-the officer graduate. Many of the organiza-tions and activities of the Post have been ori-ented on a mission to simplify, while at thesame time enrich, the life of the students andtheir dependents in a manner unique withinthe Army establishment. Exclusive absorptionin an academic routine can be detrimental toany well-adjusted person. This fact has longbeen recognized at Fort Leavenworth whichprobably offers more spiritual, professional,social and recreational opportunities than anyother military installation or civilian com-munity of comparable size.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIESReligious services and activities, a com-

munity focal point at every Army post, areavailable to all at 'Fort Leavenworth. ThreeArmy chaplains plan and present spiritual pro-grams centered around chapel exercises andreligious education. The present Post Chaplain,Chaplain (Lt Col) Henry L. Durand, alsoguides the Catholic religious activities. Chap-lains (Lt Col) Theodore V. Koepke and (Capt)

Wayne G. Shelton serve the Protestant mem-bers of the military community.

Protestant religious programs provide gen-eral Sunday services at the Post Chapel andthe Normandy Chapel as well as services forthe Episcopal, Lutheran, and Latter Day Saintsdenominations. The choirs at both chapels arenotably outstanding. Several Protestant groupscomplement the services of worship. Col JamesE. Simmons heads the Protestant Men of theChapel which assists by providing ushers, set-ting up Christmas, Easter, and outdoor services,and supporting chapel organizations. The Prot-estant Women of the Chapel are directed byMrs. James N. Love and attend to many chapelactivities. In addition to an Altar Guild, thiswomen's group holds sessions of religiousstudy, repairs and maintains choir and acolytevestments, and promotes charitable functions.The Protestant Youth of the Chapel are or-ganized in a senior group by Lt Col and Mrs.

Charles B. Ablett and Chaplain (Maj) and Mrs.Thomas J. McMinn, and a junior group by Coland Mrs. Albert D. Shutz. The groups meetat the Post Chapel Center on alternate Sundays.Protestant acolytes serve at both chapels andmeet at the call of the Acolyte Fathers for prac-tice and refreshments.

The Sunday School enrollment averages 1,400children in classes scheduled at the Post ChapelCenter and Annex as well as the NormandyChapel Annex. The current Board of Super-intendents is composed of Lt Cols Wayne F.Pickell, John D. Ford, Raleigh O. Taylor, andHarvey D. Piper. Classes are conducted forchildren from 2 years of age through seniorhigh school age.

An adult Bible study group meets regularlyat the Post Chapel Center Annex and additionalBible studies are scheduled for a women's class,an enlisted class, and Sunday School classes.Opportunities are provided during the year forall Protestants desiring membership with aspecific denomination to attend preliminaryinstruction and become members of their se-lected church.

The Catholic religious program at the Postprovides Catholic families with a schedule ofservices to meet their religious needs. A totalof seven Sunday Masses are held at the St.Ignatius and Normandy Chapels besides week-day morning and afternoon Masses. An adultchoir and two youth choirs enhance liturgicallife and observances of the parish. All membersof parish families are invited to join the severalactive parish societies.

The Holy Name Society, with Col RichardM. Leonard as president, is the organizationfor all Catholic men of the Post. Corporatereception of Holy Communion by the society isa monthly affair. The society, among its otheractivities, assists in supervising the St. Ignatiusparochial school system. The Altar RosarySociety conducts monthly meetings at whichMrs. Melvin E. Hoekstra presides. A principalproject of these Catholic women is the adorn-ment of the chapel altar and sanctuary. AllCatholic high school students, in the grades 9through 12, are eligible for membership in theCatholic Youth Organization Teen-age Club ofSt. Ignatius Parish. The club's objective is toprovide an opportunity for discussion of thereligious and moral issues facing our youth. LtCol Theodore W. Peterson is the supervisor of

this group which also conducts a variety ofsocial events at its weekly meetings. An AltarBoys Guild is directed by Maj Eugene J. Ringelto encourage young boys to assist at the altarduring Mass and devotions.

Scouting is a major character building ac-tivity for the younger members of the FortLeavenworth community. Four troops of GirlScouts represent the Brownie, Junior, Cadette,and Senior levels of scouting. A program forthe older boys is provided by five Boy ScoutTroops and an Explorer Scout Post. The Post'sCub Scouts lay claim to belonging to the largestCub pack in the world.

The Girl Scout program in 1963 was openedto girls from 7 to 17 years of age, regardless ofprevious scouting experience. The currentneighborhood chairman is Mrs. Dayton F.Caple. Spring campouts and day camps areplanned for all age groups, and the girls' camp-ing area on the Post, Camp Conestoga, is thescene for campfires and songfests in the fall.

The theme for 1963's Boy Scout activities was"Scouting and Advancement" as every Scoutwas encouraged to progress in rank and meritbadge achievement along with the healthy funand companionship that Scouting has alwaysprovided. A traditional fall kick-off dinnerlaunches each year's schedule of events whichinclude frequent camping and hiking trips inareas around the Post. A permanent campsite,Camp Miles, was completed during the summerof 1963 in the northwestern part of the militaryreservation through a mutual effort by Scoutsand parents. Monthly Courts of Honor are ar-ranged by the chairman of the Troop Com-mittee-now Col John O. Austin-to present aScout of the Month Award, ranks of advance-ment, and merit badges.

Cubmaster for the "largest pack in theworld" is Maj Gerd S. Grombacher. The packhas an annual membership of more than 300boys which, because of its size, is divided intofour pack groups. In February the pack or-ganizes its annual Blue and Gold banquet forthe young Scouts and their parents, and inMay they gather for a Cub Scout picnic.

The teen-age population at Fort Leavenworthis one of the largest at any Army post in thecountry. Fulfilling the needs of this group forwholesome recreation and entertainment is theArmy Brats Club. The club provides music,dancing facilities, ping-pong and billiard tables.

-54-

Other assets include an outdoor patio, a snackbar, and modern clubroom furniture. Super-vision is provided by a full-time manager andan advisory council, but the most importantfeature of the club is that the sole responsi-bility for its planning and maintenance is inthe hands of the teen-agers themselves.

A Youth Activities Association (formerlyknown as the Dad's Club) coordinates all Postyouth activities, making certain they operatesmoothly. The association's general member-ship, with Col Abb Chrietzberg as president,includes the fathers of all children at the Post.It handles the organizational affairs and budg-ets of the Scout groups, the youth baseballleagues, a junior golf program, and the ArmyBrats Club. In addition, the association al-locates funds to the Special Services youthprojects for playgrounds, basketball leagues,bowling, swimming, sports instruction, andthe Patch Community Center. Money to supportall these popular facilities and organizations,so important to the younger set, comes froma number of sources, but primarily from theLeavenworth United Fund and proceeds fromthe Post Thrift Shop.

The Post Rod and Gun Club is open to allmilitary personnel and dependents interestedin outdoor life-whether it be hunting, fishing,training field dogs, or fish and game conserva-tion. A clubroom located in McNair Hall is usedfor biweekly meetings, which usually includea speaker and films on some aspect of huntingand fishing, and the several parties sponsoredby the club during the year. The club holds afishing derby each year for young anglers, withprizes for the boy or girl catching the biggest,smallest, and most fish. A spring fishing trip tothe Lake of the Ozarks is also arranged forclub members. Cabins, boats, and motors arereserved in advance of the motor caravan de-parting the Post for a weekend of sport. Oneof the chief aims of the club, however, is topromote fish and game conservation. In a recentoperation supervised by club president, ColFrank H. Barnhart, Jr., Merritt Lake wascleaned and restocked with fish, and the clubplans to repeat the project in adjoining SmithLake. Game bird cover and food crops have beendistributed over the reservation game area, andthe local supply of quail has been increased bystocking and controlled hunting to complementthe doves, pheasants, rabbits, and squirrels

found in the Post's hunting areas. A yearlydrawing for prizes of outdoor equipment isarranged to provide funds for these conserva-tion projects.

An extremely spirited and colorful organiza-tion at Fort Leavenworth is the hunt. Firstorganized in 1926, the hunt was officially recog-nized as a member of the National SteepleChase and Hunt Association in 1931, and sub-sequently became one of the most famous or-ganizations of its type in the country. At theoutset of World War II, the hunt was dis-banded and its colors retired. In 1951, a groupof military personnel obtained the use of twostables on the Post and organized a self-sup-porting, private riding club which, for the sakeof tradition, assumed the name "The Fort Leav-enworth Hunt."

During the 12-year period of this history, thehunt operated facilities for the stabling ofprivate mounts, and conducted a variety ofinformal riding activities-schooling, trail rid-ing, field days or gymkhanas-as well as socialevents. Major annual activities were the springand fall horse shows featuring equitation,hunter, jumper, and novelty classes. The excit-ingly interesting shows have attracted largenumbers of entries by horsemen from neigh-boring areas of Kansas, Missouri, and Ne-braska. A formal Hunt Ball has usually beenconducted at the time of the spring show.

A group of members of the Fort Leavenworth Huntassembled at the Hunt Lodge.

Until recently, the management of the hunthas been handled by an elected board of gov-ernors, and the regular membership varied

-55-

from 35 to 50 officers and enlisted personnel.The number of mounts stabled by the hunt hasbeen between 35 and 65 creating an average an-nual requirement for some 10,000 bales of hayand straw, and about 5,000 bushels of oats.Three employees were maintained by the huntmembership, with the members themselvespitching in for special projects. In recent years,the nature of the hunt membership has some-what shifted. With a diminishing number of"old cavalrymen" on the active roles of theArmy, adult membership has decreased, with acompensating increase in active junior riders.A Junior Hunt Council has been organized aspart of the regular riding association.

Also, in recent years, two events have beenestablished as traditional hunt activities. Eachyear, on an evening just before Christmas,mounted hunt members turn out in force, ac-companied by other members riding in the oldhunt bandwagon and hay cart, for "carollingon horseback." The other popular event is asemiannual "Day at the Races" held at the Of-ficers' Mess for all mess members. The Messbuilding is decorated in a racetrack motif, andthe feature attraction of the evening is a raceof wooden horses "ridden" by ladies of the Postover a backgammon-like track according to thefall of dice.

In April 1962 the hunt broadened its ac-tivities by contracting for stable managementand the operation of a rental riding and in-struction program. This service has been en-thusiastically received and has resulted in anincrease of several hundred associate members.The profits from this operation are devoted toneeded improvements to hunt property andfacilities.

The official name of the riding associationwas changed to "The Hunt, Fort Leavenworth"on April 7, 1963. In July of that year, underthe supervision of The Hunt President, ColEdward R. Lewitz, The Hunt began truly livingup to its name by reviving fox hunting as oneof its activities. Kennels were built for a packof 14 foxhounds, and live and drag hunts havebeen scheduled during the season under thecapable control of Masters of Foxhounds MajH. A. Kellner (US Army-retired) and Lt ColCharles C. Ross.

An outstanding service to the community iscontributed by the Red Cross Volunteers whodonated well over 30,000 hours of their time to

the Munson Army Hospital during 1962-63.These dedicated women are a familiar andwelcome sight to the patients and hospital staffas they perform duties as gray ladies, nursesaides, staff aides and in other capacities inthe less glamorous side of hospital routine.Mrs. Robert H. Deason is chairman of thesevolunteer services that assist the hospital med-ical staff in the clinics and wards, the library,and during annual physical examinations andspecial inoculations for Post personnel.

The military education system at Fort Leav-enworth discussed in the two preceding chap-ters is supplemented by an adult civilian educa-tion system for assisting active duty militarypersonnel in raising their levels of formalschooling. The Post Education Center arrangesfor educational programs such as correspond-ence courses, preparatory group study classes,proficiency testing, and instruction from ac-credited colleges and universities. In one recentyear, 169 enlisted men completed high schoolthrough the center, and over 60 gained theequivalent of a year of college study. Increas-ing numbers of officers, both permanent partyand students, attain the academic requirementsfor the Army's degree completion programwhile at Fort Leavenworth. Evening coursesfrom the University of Kansas and nearbyPark and St. Mary's Colleges are offered bythe center for this purpose. Many of theseArmy "bootstrappers" go on to earn bac-calaureate degrees.

The Post community engages in so manyvaried activities that a comprehensive descrip-tion of them all would be most difficult. It iseven more difficult to determine an interestoutside normal family life and military dutiesthat cannot be pursued through member-ship in one of Fort Leavenworth's com-munity organizations. For the more activesportsmen, flying, parachuting, skeet, judo, andeven cricket clubs are available. The one rec-reational activity attracting the greatest par-ticipation continues to be the game of golf, asdevotees flock to the Post's fine 27-hole courseon days of fair weather (and other days not sofair) throughout the entire year.

An extensive, long-range program for im-provement and maintenance of the golf coursewas initiated in June 1963 under the guidanceof the Assistant Commandant, General Town-send. The golf director at the time was Col

-56-

James B. Kemp who got the program underway.On Colonel Kemp's retirement in August, hewas succeeded by Col Robert W. McCartney.The greenskeeper serving under both directorswas Mr. Cecil Miller. A tremendous improve-ment in the playability and appearance of thecourse has been brought about through thepreparation of a detailed, written plan for thecourse, improved management techniques, anda more effective use of materials for mainte-nance. Installation of a permanent sprinklingsystem on the greens was begun, holes wererenumbered to facilitate better control of playfrom the first and tenth tees, numerous treeswere planted along the fairways, and the "back9" was beautified by the draining and dredgingof Merritt Lake. These and other measures, in-cluding the employment of a consultant on golfcourses from Kansas State, have resulted inreturning this course to its former positionas one of the finest in this area.

The traditional hub of Post social activity,the Fort Leavenworth Officers' Open Mess, isscheduled for a major renovation. A generalrepair and refurbishing of the swimming poolwere completed in July 1963 and a bath houseand poolside snack bar will be ready for the1964 season. The complete renovation, plannedunder the supervision of Col William H. Blake-field, President of the Board of Governors, in-cludes remodeling and construction modifica-tions to practically every interior facility ofthe Mess building. The present dining roomwill include an informal dining area and bev-erage lounge to be known as the Sutler's Room.In addition to all new furnishings, the formaldining area will contain a charcoal broilerwhere diners can see their steaks and lobsterprepared. A new private dining room, completewith bar and pantry service, will be installed inthe space now occupied by the business offices.A considerable amount of new equipment willbe added to the kitchen which will then be re-arranged to provide more efficient food service.The main ballroom will be remodeled to pro-vide for division into four smaller areas bymeans of portable wall sections. The entireballroom will then be redecorated and an en-closed service bar constructed in one corner.These, the first modifications other than minorstructural improvements to be made to theMess building which was originally designedas a dairy barn, are scheduled for completion

in late 1964. At that time, the membership ofthe Mess will be afforded facilities unprec-edented in the long history of the Post, and acaliber of service in keeping with the long-established Fort Leavenworth community tradi-tions.

CIVIC RELATIONSThe cordial relationship enjoyed by the Post

with the city of Leavenworth has continuedover these years. The degree of cooperationbetween military and civilian officials is evi-denced by numerous joint projects.

The city of Leavenworth, in May 1957, re-ceived a Certificate of Achievement from theSecretary of the Army as official recognitionof the exceptional contributions made by thecity in the interests of the Post. The award waspresented by General McGarr at the annualdinner of the Leavenworth Chamber of Com-merce in the Cody Hotel. The citation notedthe outstanding patriotic service performed bythe city since 1952, and the city's continuingdemonstration of its devoted interest in prob-lems of immediate concern to Fort Leaven-worth. In 1959, Leavenworth adopted theslogan: "The Best Army Town in the USA."Thousands of military personnel and their de-pendents who have been treated with warmthand hospitality by the citizens of Leavenworthwholeheartedly agree to the validity of thatslogan.

In 1958, the Post established "A Day at FortLeavenworth"-a visit to the military establish-ment by select groups from the surroundingcommunities. This recurring event brings to-gether business, professional, and civic leadersfor an orientation on the College, the Post andits activities, and the modern Army. It is in-tended to promote understanding and stimulateinterest in military affairs, and has been mostsuccessful in attaining these objectives. Specialinvitations are also extended from time to timeto groups of industrialists to view College oper-ations. This project provides a means of ac-quainting these business executives with theaims and results of the College programs. Italso encourages them to permit those amongtheir employees who are members of the ArmyNational Guard and Reserve to attend residentcourses of the College for which they mayqualify.

In cooperation with the Mayor of Leaven-

-57-

worth, a Civilian-Military Council of 10 mem-bers was formed in 1959. Five prominent civicfigures were appointed to council membershipby the mayor as counterparts to five officersfrom Fort Leavenworth. The council meetsperiodically to discuss and resolve any area offriction which would tend to disturb harmoni-ous relations between the City and the Post.

An opportunity to further the Army's in-formation goals is provided through the partici-pation of members of the College staff andfaculty, students at the College, and person-nel assigned to the Post in a program of publicspeaking. The program is coordinated by aSpeakers Bureau, supervised by the Post In-formation Office, which fulfills requests fromcivic, fraternal, industrial, veterans, and Re-serve organizations for guest speakers. Alliedofficers also take part in the program whichhas arranged speaking engagements in thefour-state area of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,and Iowa. The Information Office itself, man-aged by Lt Col John J. Killian and his principalassistant Mrs. Henrietta Elving, plays a keyrole in keeping the civilian community abreastof developments at the Post and within theArmy by a continuous flow of informationreleases to local news media.

Other cooperative efforts effectively strength-ening civic relations are the enthusiastic sup-port of the Henry Leavenworth Chapter of theAssociation of the United States Army, an-nual United Fund drives, and joint sponsor-ship of many commemorative and festive ac-tivities. Typical of the cooperation in the lastcategory was the staging of the LeavenworthCounty Fair in August 1963, where Fort Leav-enworth went all out to provide unusualsports demonstrations, musical and vocal talent,and administrative and publicity support toinsure the success of the 4-day event.

SPECIAL SERVICESThe Post agency responsible for maintaining

morale and welfare through planned recrea-tional activities is the Special Services Officeheaded by Lt Col Robert A. Domos. With of-fices located in the Patch Community Center,Special Services is concerned with six recrea-tional areas: sports, handicrafts, youth activi-ties, the Post Library, a Service Club for en-listed personnel, and musical and theatricalentertainment.

Outdoor sports facilities managed by SpecialServices provide opportunities for participa-tion in a diversity of athletics. Two swimmingpools, 10 tennis courts, lighted softball dia-monds and a football field, and two ice skatingrinks are scenes of healthy, enjoyable recrea-tion in the appropriate season. A 14-lane bowl-ing alley, two gymnasiums, squash and hand-ball courts, and a swimming pool are providedfor indoor athletics. Softball and basketballdraw large crowds to the scheduled contestsof the Post teams-the Leavenworth Knights-with teams from the surrounding area. Nearlyall these facilities are made available to thePost children through year-round schedulingof junior leagues and tournaments. Childrencan spend many active hours in playgroundareas, some 27 in all, conveniently locatedthroughout the Post.

A well-stocked Post Library is operated bySpecial Services in the Patch Community Cen-ter, and branch libraries are maintained at theUS Disciplinary Barracks and its local paroleeunit, as well as at Munson Army Hospital. ThePost Service Club is a favorite gathering placefor enlisted personnel, and offers television,games, and reading material in addition toevening programs of bingo, music, and dancing.The Post Theater provides showings of currentmotion pictures during the evening for adultand family entertainment, and Saturday mati-nees which attract, as intended, a vociferoussmall-fry audience. The Special Services enter-tainment section also sponsors soldiers shows,maintains a library of music and recordings,and furnishes advice and assistance to the FortLeavenworth Dramatics Club.

Hobbyists and "do-it-yourselfers" are wellprovided for at the Special Services Craft Shop.Tools and materials for jewelry making, enam-elling, ceramics, leathercraft, woodworking,photography, and oil painting may be obtainedfor use on a self-directed basis. Classes inceramics and painting are scheduled, and in-struction can be provided on request in otherhandicrafts. An automotive craftshop, completewith servicing and shop facilities, was recentlyopened as a most welcome convenience for theincreasing number of amateur mechanics.

Special Services makes provisions for thechildren at Fort Leavenworth in fields otherthan sports. Classes in puppetry, acrobatics,drama, and dancing are all held at the Patch

-58-

Community Center. Special children's partiesat Christmas, Easter, and Halloween have be-come traditional; and now puppet plays, dra-matic presentations, and dance recitals havebecome special events for the youngsters de-monstrating newly acquired talents before ad-miring parents.

One of the most popular attractions, basedon attendance, in which Special Services has ahand, is the Independence Day fireworks dis-play. This evening display is co-sponsored byFort Leavenworth and the Leavenworth Cham-ber of Commerce, and has drawn thousands ofpersons in each of the 16 years it has beenstaged. The spectators gather on the northshore of Merritt Lake for this spectacular pro-gram of pyrotechnics and military band music.

Cultural entertainment for the general public,such as performances by the Kansas CityPhilharmonic, the University of MissouriString Orchestra, and other local band concertsare arranged by Special Services.

Periodically a consolidated Post activitiesregistration period is conducted by the SpecialServices to acquaint newcomers and studentsarriving at Fort Leavenworth with all themany recreational opportunities available tothe Post community. The Special Services officefulfills an important responsibility by contribut-ing to the atmosphere of pleasantly rewardingactivity on the Post.

SOCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONSThe most widespread social organization at

the Post, the Fort Leavenworth Officers WivesClub, began its 1963-64 season with a welcom-ing tea in September at the Officers' Open Mess.All student, staff and faculty, and garrisonwives were invited to this annual gathering ofold and new members which featured a talk byMaj Gen Harry J. Lemley, Jr., the Command-ing General.

Monthly luncheons are held for the club'smembership, and each of these affairs is fol-lowed by a special program of entertainmentor an educational subject. While these get-to-gethers enable the members to make new ac-quaintances and strengthen old friendships,it is the unusual variety of special interestgroups, coordinated by Mrs. Anthony B. Cristo,the Club President, and a capable staff of assist-ants, that makes the club such an interestingand unique organization.

An Art Group offers lessons in oil paintingby an instructor from the Kansas City ArtInstitute and arranges a spring exhibit of themembers' work. Members of the Great BooksGroup select and review a number of literaryclassics each season. Other clubwomen meetfrequently to develop and maintain fluency inFrench and German through conversation inthose languages.

A Sewing and Tailoring Group meets eachweek at the McClellan Officers' Club Annex forinstruction in beginner, intermediate, andexperienced seamstress classes. Felt, pat-terned, and cocktail hats are the fall projectsfor the ladies of the Millinery Group. Otherdomestic skills are developed by a House andGardens Group which plans a series of pro-grams dealing with homemaking.

The International Group always comprises alarge membership as it continues its service tothe community by providing American-stylehospitality to the families of the Allied studentofficers. The friendships established, the back-ground knowledge gained, and the awarenessof actual contribution by the ladies active inthis group have long proved to be more thanadequate compensation for their time andenergy.

The game of bridge, consistently a popularpastime among the women, is prominent on theclub's calendar of events. Duplicate sessionsare scheduled two evenings a week, and oneweekday afternoon is set aside for social bridge.More active recreation is the objective of golfand tennis groups, and women's bowling leaguesare quickly established each year.

A Senior Set arranges social gatherings fordependent and visiting mothers, aunts, andgrandmothers. Just to make sure that nofield of endeavor is overlooked, the club recentlyadded programs devoted to interior decoratingand public speaking.

The Daughters of the US Army is an organi-zation accepting as members the daughters ofofficers of the Armed Forces. The daughters ofAllied student officers are also cordially invitedto join the Fort Leavenworth chapter whichwas reactivated on the Post following WorldWar II.

The Daughters were originally formed 36years ago at Fort Benning, Georgia, to provideits members a means to keep in touch with oneanother as military assignments moved them

-59-

to stations all over the world. The chapters atmany Army installations, however, work notonly to maintain contact among the member-ship but also to support charitable and social ac-tivities. The Fort Leavenworth chapter spon-sors a hospital emergency fund, providing nurs-ing care for women and children. With itsfunds it purchases various items for the com-fort of the patients in Munson Army Hospital.Scholarships for deserving high school studentsand donations to the Post museum fund areamong the worthy projects of the organization.

Funds for these projects Lre derived in partfrom sales of a Post activities calendar pre-pared each year by the members. The princi-pal source of money, however, is the proceedsfrom the gala Mardi Gras celebration stagedby the Daughters every 2 years at the Post.Mrs. Albert D. Shutz served as chapter presi-dent to supervise the planning of these charita-ble projects, as well as evening social affairs,at business meetings following each monthlyluncheon.

The. Boughton Memorial, completed in 1922on Kearney Avenue south of Sumner Place,serves two distinct purposes. Constructed as ameeting place for Hancock Lodge, No. 311, A.F. & A. M. of the Masonic Order, provisionswere made in the building appropriation billfor a portion of the first floor to be set asidefor the Fort Leavenworth Post Office. Han-cock Lodge, which was instituted in 1889, isone of the most well known among military per-sonnel. It was named after Gen Winfield S.Hancock, a former commander of the Depart-ment of Missouri and a Democratic presidentialcandidate in the elections of 1880. The build-ing was dedicated to the memory of Col DanielH. Boughton, who served as Assistant Com-mandant of the schools at Fort Leavenworthand as Master of Hancock Lodge. This old andhonored lodge organizes a full schedule ofactivities for Masons and their associated or-ganizations with regularly stated communica-tion for degree work.

The Association of the US Army (AUSA)is an organization with headquarters in theNation's capital and chapters throughout theUnited States and overseas. As the one organi-zation representing the entire Army, it is de-voted to the premise that a strong, modern,mobile Army is vital to our national security.General membership in the AUSA is open to

any individual subscribing to the association'saims and objectives.

The Henry Leavenworth Chapter of theAUSA, organized in 1956, has expanded toapproximately 2,000 members. The geograph-ical area of the chapter includes eastern Kan-sas and western Missouri. Chapter activitieswithin this area are administered from the of-fice of the chapter secretary at Fort Leaven-worth. The chapter was cited by the AUSA in1959, 1960, and 1961 for outstanding serviceto its community and the Army. In 1962 itwas declared the best chapter, overall, in theAUSA and became the only chapter to receivethe annual award for the second time for besttelling the Army's story. The chapter, in 1963,again earned this national award.

The objectives of the Henry LeavenworthChapter for 1963-64 are (1) to support thecause of national defense and to improve thissupport by wider member participation, im-proved public relations, and liaison activities;(2) to strengthen the ties with leaders of in-dustry, commerce, and the professions by an ag-gressive campaign to enroll these leaders inchapter membership, and by providing speakerprograms to service and civic groups; and (3)to insure more effective chapter cooperationand liaison with educational institutions and toencourage the prestige and student participa-tion in the ROTC program.

To achieve these objectives, the chapter hasestablished community liaison chairmen in themore populous urban centers within its area.It has sponsored several of the "Days at FortLeavenworth" for industrial, civic, and profes-sional groups which included orientations onthe Command and General Staff College, theAUSA, and recent Army developments andfunctions. The chapter's theme for 1962-63 intelling the Army's story was "the Army's rolein today's world." Col J. W. Morgan arrangedthe speaker program around this theme withpresentations covering a wide range of in-formative topics. During the year, 41 speakers,consisting of students and faculty of the Com-mand and General Staff College, appeared be-fore nearly 100 civic, service, church, school,and college groups. Chapter awards during thesame year were made to 125 outstanding ROTCcadets, students, educators, and others for ex-cellence and service in a variety of fields.

The chapter traditionally has an annual din-ner dance at the Fort Leavenworth Officers'Mess in June each year. Approximately 200members, including Maj Gen Harry J. Lemley,attended the 1963 meeting. Figuring promi-nently in the affairs of the chapter, in additionto the president Col Ted C. Bland, are Mr. VicShalkoski-vice president, Mr. Wendell Lehman-treasurer, and Lt Col Wayne F. Pickell-secretary. By past performance, and presentefforts, the Henry Leavenworth Chapter of theAUSA insures future support of its parent as-sociation in accomplishing the AUSA's statedpurpose of "fostering, supporting, and advocat-

ing the legitimate and proper role of the Armyof the United States."

Community life at Fort Leavenworth is asdiversified and rewarding as the backgrounds,experiences, and interests of the inhabitantsof the Post. The innumerable facets of thiscomplex society both supplement and comple-ment the vital military missions accomplishedby the military members of the community. Thecompatible, beneficial synthesis of the officialand unofficial aspects of Army life has givenrise to the exceptional reputation enjoyed andmaintained by Fort Leavenworth as an out-standing asset among the Nation's military re-sources.

APPENDIX VIII

POST CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

From June 1950 through 1956, militaryconstruction at Fort Leavenworth was limitedto minor construction projects and mainte-nance. However, non-Government owned build-ing construction at the Post was expandedduring that period, beginning with the leasingof a tract of Fort Leavenworth land, approxi-mately 0.5 acre located at the southwest inter-section of Biddle Boulevard and Kearney Ave-nue, to the Army Cooperative Fire Associationfor construction of a two-story office building,No. 325, which that association completed in1953. Later, in 1959, a second structure, UtilityBuilding No. 322, was constructed on this sameacreage by this firm.

In August 1952, a portion of the reservation,18.36 acres, was leased to the Fort LeavenworthSchool District for a school site and, by 1955,the Eisenhower (Elementary) School, Build-ing No. 327, located on the east side of thePershing Park housing area was completed. Itwas in July 1955 that 15.02 acres of Post landwere leased to the Fort Leavenworth SchoolDistrict for construction of another elementaryschool-the MacArthur School, Building No.326, located on the west side of Biddle Boule-vard in the Oregon Village housing area. Withthe leasing of a third tract, 13.03 acres, inNovember 1957, the Fort Leavenworth SchoolDistrict constructed the General George S.Patton, Jr., Junior High School, Building No.392, located on the east side of Grant Avenue,just to the south of the Pershing Park housingarea. A combination Maintenance Shop-StorageBuilding No. 351 was completed by the schooldistrict in 1963. This structure was located justnorth of the school.

Major military construction resumed at FortLeavenworth in 1957 when the US ArmySignal Midwest Relay Station Mission was as-signed this command. The Midwest Relay Sta-tion Communications Building, No. 136, locatedon the west side of Biddle Boulevard south ofKearney Avenue, was completed that year. Theoriginal one-story main building was of con-crete foundation, concrete floors, concrete blockand brick walls, with tar and gravel roof. In1959, an addition to this main building was nec-essary to house equipment for an expanded op-

eration; and, finally in 1961, the unfinishedbasement for this addition was completed. Dur-ing 1963, construction of a second addition,with basement, was added to the main build-ing. The Midwest Relay Station TransmitterBuilding, No. 138, and antenna area, locatedin a restricted area beyond the northeast dikearea of Sherman Army Airfield, were com-pleted in 1961; and in the same year, two emer-gency generator buildings were constructed-Building No. 139, located in the above restrictedarea; and Building No. 121, located near theCommunications Building, No. 136. In March1960, a tract of 13.47 acres of US Depart-ment of Justice land, located within the south-west boundaries of the US Federal Peniten-tiary lands, was purchased; and the MidwestRelay Station's Micro Wave Repeater Building,No. 2002, with supporting facilities, was com-pleted in 1961. In 1960, two buildings with sup-porting facilities for housing Midwest RelayStation's Radio Receiver Station equipment(Building No. 2000) and a Standby GeneratorBuilding (Building No. 2001) were constructedon land of the Sunflower Ordnance Works nearLawrence, Kansas.

In 1957, three identical concrete block am-munition storehouses, Buildings No. 112, 113,and 179, were completed. These storehouses arelocated in the magazine area-extending north-ward from McPherson Avenue and east ofSheridan Drive.

Located just inside the Grant Avenue en-trance to Fort Leavenworth, on the east sideof the avenue, is the Post Entrance Building,No. 51 (Information Office). This unique stonestructure was completed in April 1958. Con-struction was performed by USDB prisoners,using native stone that, until the year 1957, in-closed a portion of the east wall of the FortLeavenworth National Cemetery. This nativestone was quarried during the latter part ofthe nineteenth century from one of the severalquarries located on the reservation at that time.

Construction on the new academic build-ing housing the United States Army Com-mand and General Staff College-James Frank-lin Bell Hall, Building No. 111, began after aground-breaking ceremony on 5 November 1956

-68-

and was completed 24 November 1958. Thisbuilding is located on historic Arsenal Hill over-looking the Missouri River. Its design is theshape of the figure four and contains threefloors with basement. It is constructed on drilledpiers to rock footing with concrete foundationwalls, concrete floors, steel frame window wallwith insulated porcelain panels-brick facedmasonry exterior walls, and concrete with 5-ply built-up roofing. This building contains thefollowing facilities:

Twenty-four 50 student capacity class-rooms

Auditorium with balcony and stage-1,425 seats

Briefing Room with stage-323 seatsLibrary and office spaceCafeteria with 316 serving capacityBarber ShopStorage areasBoiler Room located in sublevel basement.

Prior to construction of Bell Hall AcademicBuilding, No. 111, the Command and GeneralStaff College occupied space in 15 buildings onthe Post. With completion of this new struc-ture, numerous changes resulted throughoutthe Post by the relocation of activities in thosebuildings previously occupied by the College.During 1960, extensive modification and altera-tion to the west half of Gruber Hall, BuildingNo. 302, was made to accommodate a 14-lanebowling center for Special Services. In 1959,the Post Museum moved to Andrews Hall,Building No. S-801, a former College classroombuilding.

During 1951, 1952, and 1953, 227 sets ofstudent officer family quarters were constructedunder the Wherry Family Housing Act. Thishousing was located on the former site ofWorld War I barracks and is presently knownas Pershing Park. Ownership and title forthese quarters were transferred to Fort Leav-enworth by the US District Engineer throughcondemnation action in 1958, at which time thePost Engineer accepted real property accounta-bility, to include maintenance and repair re-sponsibility, for these buildings. These one-family quarters were constructed on a three-bedroom plan, prefabricated wood frame, with-out basement; however, since 1958, many dwell-ings have been modified to include a fourth bed-room with half-bath and a clothes closet.

In 1957, just south of the Fort Leavenworth

National Cemetery and Post Trailer Park, con-struction of 50 two-officer-family dwellings,under the provisions of the Capehart HousingAct, was completed. These one-story duplexes,some with basements and others without base-ment, were of reinforced concrete foundation,oak and vinyl asphalt tile floors, with hardboardsiding and brick veneer trim walls. This area,originally known as Capehart I, is now knownas Oregon Village.

In 1959, just south and west of Oregon Vil-lage, 40 four- and six-officer-family dwellings(20 each four-plex and 20 each six-plex-200sets of quarters), constructed under the Cape-hart Housing Act, were completed. These twostory, four- and six-plex dwellings with base-ment were of reinforced concrete founda-tion, oak and vinyl asphalt tile floors, with con-crete block and brick walls. This Capehart IIarea is now known as Kansa Village.

During 1960, 100 each two-noncommissioned-officer family dwellings (100 duplexes-200 setsof quarters), constructed under the CapehartHousing Act, were completed. This housing wasconstructed just south and west of Kansa Vil-lage. These two-story, with basement, duplexeswere of reinforced concrete foundation, oak andvinyl tile floors, and hardboard siding walls.This Capehart III area is presently known asSanta Fe Village.

With completion of the foregoing new hous-ing areas, 28 buildings comprising the Blunt-ville (USDB noncommissioned officer) hous-ing, which had been constructed in the late1870's were demolished. Five other noncom-missioned quarters located on west KearneyAvenue, which were built in 1884, were de-molished, as were many of the semipermanentbarrack-type structures of World War II vint-age, which had been converted to family quar-ters, located in the West Normandy area.

Construction of a new bachelor officers'quarters with mess (Building No. 225-Truesdell Hall), located northeast of the inter-section of Grant and Stimson Avenues overlook-ing Smith and Fuller Lakes, was completed in1959. This 90-bedroom bachelor officers' quar-ters, with mess serving capacity for 340 per-sons, is a two-story structure (irregular de-sign) of reinforced concrete foundation, con-crete slab and asphalt tile floor, and concreteand brick walls. This building contains an in-

-69-

dividual heating plant boiler room, kitchen, anentrance lobby, and a lounge.

Upon completion of Truesdell Hall in 1959,the Enlisted Men's Consolidated Troop Mess,which had been located in Building No. 48, wasmoved to Building No. 244, the former Con-solidated Officers' Mess-just north of the oldStation Hospital Building, No. 198.

Since its designation as a class A airfield,improvements at Sherman Army Airfield toprovide increased capabilities of operationbegan in 1958 with construction of the controltower atop Hangar Building No. 132 and theinstallation of a radio room, during 1960, atthe base of the control tower. Also, during1960, the north/south runway was completelyresurfaced and reduced in width to 100 feet,using a bituminous surface over a rock base,with rock surface and base stabilized shoulders(50 feet wide) on both the east and west sides

of this runway. At the same time, the north,south, and northeast taxiways were increasedin surfaced areas.

In 1959, Fort Leavenworth, through lease ac-tion, granted exclusive use of 7.79 acres ofSherman Army Airfield land to the city ofLeavenworth (Kansas) for use as the city'smunicipal airport. This area is located duesouth of the Guided Missile Field MaintenanceShop, Building No. 75, and is to be used forhangar and maintenance building space as wellas taxiway to the runways. Included in thislease was the concurrent use, with the USArmy, of an additional tract of 233.50 acres ofSherman Army Airfield which comprises therunways and taxiways of the main field.

During 1960, construction was completed onthe four widely dispersed United States ArmyAir Defense Command (USARDCOM) Nike-Hercules Missile Bases (two sites in Missouriand two sites in Kansas) and the Missile Bat-talion Headquarters site established for the airdefense of the Metropolitan Kansas City area.One of these bases, Nike Site KC-80, waslocated at Fort Leavenworth. Twenty-sevenbuildings and structures, with supporting facili-ties, dispersed in three distinct and separateareas make up the Fort Leavenworth site.These areas are as follows: Nike BatteryHeadquarters area-located north of the Na-tional Cemetery; Nike Control (restricted),Nike Launch (restricted) areas-located along

the western boundary of the Fort LeavenworthReservation.

The logistical support mission for all fourbases, battalion headquarters, and the ARAD-COM troop units operating them in this airdefense was assigned Fort Leavenworth. Toprovide the necessary guided missile field main-tenance support for these units, a new GuidedMissile Field Maintenance Shop, Building No.75, was constructed in 1961. This building islocated at Sherman Army Airfield-just southof Hangar Building No. 132.

In 1961, construction was completed on theMunson Army Hospital, Building No. 343. Thisthree-story, with basement and penthouse, 90/190-bed hospital structure has a reinforcedconcrete foundation, concrete slab and asphalttile floors, concrete block and brick walls,and a built-up tar and gravel roof. The MunsonArmy Hospital Powerplant, Building No. 344,was completed that same year and has a rein-forced concrete foundation, concrete floors,concrete block and brick walls, and built-up tarand gravel roof. This powerplant containsthree boilers fired by fuel oil fed from two10,000-gallon capacity tanks. The Munson ArmyHospital area is located northeast of the inter-section of Pope Avenue and Biddle Boulevard.

As of December 1963, the old Station Hos-pital Building, No. 198, located on ThomasAvenue, still contained the Dental Clinic onthe first floor of the north wing; however,since 1962, the remainder of the building hasbeen the home of Headquarters Company andHeadquarters Detachment troops.

During February 1963, construction wascompleted on two-story with basement ArmyNurses and WAC Officers' quarters. These twostructures, Building No. 338 and Building No.339, located on the west side of Kearney Ave-nue just east of Dodge Hall (Building No. 268),are identical in exterior design with concretefoundations, concrete floors, brick masonrywalls, and asphalt shingle roofs. Althoughidentical in exterior design, because of con-struction differences within the interiors,Building No. 338 has a designed capacity for16 persons, whereas Building No. 339 has adesigned capacity for 19 persons. At an ap-propriate dedication ceremony, this buildingarea was officially dedicated as BlochbergerTerrace.

-70-

In February 1954, a license dated 27 October1905, which granted the Young Men's ChristianAssociation, Inc., the right to construct andmaintain a building (YMCA) on the Fort Leav-enworth Military Reservation, Kansas, wasterminated and a contract consummated thepurchase of the YMCA Building by the UnitedStates Army. This building, No. 345, locatedat the northeast intersection of Pope and Mc-Clellan Avenues, was dedicated and designatedas Patch Community Center to be used bySpecial Services for community activities.

The second disposal action by sale of FortLeavenworth Military Reservation land sincethe Reservation was established in 1827 oc-curred during 1958 when 9.44 acres of landwas quit-claim deeded to Leavenworth for thecity's Municipal Waterworks Treatment Plant.This acreage is located in the extreme south-east corner of the Reservation and had beenleased to Leavenworth for the plant duringthe time that the city supplied water for FortLeavenworth.

During the period 1952 through 1963, therewas no new construction for religious educa-tion facilities. The requirements for space weremet by using existing structures vacated byprevious activities. Upon completion of the

new schools, Building No. 53 and Building No.333 located on Scott Avenue north of the PostChapel, which formerly housed the Postschools, were (in 1956) diverted to use as Sun-day Schools. In the West Normandy area,Building No. S-682 and Building No. S-683,which formerly had been used for Post schools(in 1959), were converted for religious educa-

tional functions.The support of Fort Leavenworth in its pro-

gressive construction program over the past 12years has required an orderly and timely in-crease in utilities, roads, sidewalks, and park-ing areas. Some statistics that indicate the mag-nitude of maintenance required of the PostEngineer as of December 1963 are as follows:

Electrical distribution lines, approxi-mately 115 miles

Gas pipeline, 138,376 lineal feetSteam distribution lines, 27,286 lineal feetSanitary sewer, 211,542 lineal feetGround drainage, storm sewers, etc., 190,-

219 lineal feetWater pipelines, 292,321 lineal feetRoads, approximately 60 milesSidewalks, 119,903 square yardsVehicle parking areas, 206,022 square
