THE BATTALION Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, August 8, iggj Reserves To Train At Brayton Field Fire School , Texas A&M will add a new dimension to its military instruc tional status this month. Soldiers of the 420th Engineer Brigade will train at the univer sity’s Brayton Field Aug. 10-24. Personnel of the Texas Engineer ing Extension Service will in struct the 463rd Engineer Pla toon of Huntsville in firefighting, rescue and emergency operations. The newly-organized platoon of one officer and 23 enlisted men will be trained by members of the Firemen’s Training School head ed by Chief Henry D. Smith. Training was contracted to A&M by the U. S. Army in cooperation with the Fourth Army. First Lt. William V. Wagner’s platoon is one of the cellular units of the 420th, commanded by Brig. Gen. Joe G. Hanover of Bryan. General Hanover and President Earl Rudder are expected to ob serve the platoon during its two- week summer training, according to Maj. William Ross, brigade operations officer. Fourth Army officials may also visit. “We feel that by the end of the two weeks, if the men master the training, they should be MOS (military occupational specialty) qualified,” Major Ross said. He indicated 102 hours of training scheduled by Johnny Rauch and school instructors sur passes the amount soldiers re ceive through normal Army train ing programs. “There’s only one volunteer fireman with any sort of training in the group,” the major added. “The nature of training Chief Smith has arranged should make the platoon capable of going on active duty and fulfilling it’s mission: providing the equiva lent of a fire station for a divi sion-size camp,” Major Ross went on. Rauch said training will stress “getting their hands dirty. Learn ing is best accomplished by doing and we’re going to have them doing.” He said the GIs will study fire chemistry, tactics and prevention, fire-fighting during civil disturb ances, use and maintenance of equipment, including rope, hitches, nozzles and appliances, extinguishes, ladder, hose, protec tive breathing apparatus and pumpers. The soldiers will learn rescue carries and drags, fight petro leum, structural and LPG fires and receive instruction in brush and range firefighting. Kenneth Burton of the fire control depart ment, Texas Forest Service, will assist in the latter. Chief Smith has assigned Rauch, James R. Dobson, Tom Robinson and W. B. Dorman to the two-week training program. “Others will probably ass j s , from time to time as needetp Rauch added.
