manded by Major General Wil
liam N. Haskell, of the New
York National Guard.
Confronting these two Corps
on the field of mock battle will
be a defending force led by Ma
jor General James A. Woodruff,
U. S. A., now commanding Gen
eral First Corps area. The de
fending forces will consist prin
cipally of the First Division, Reg
ular Army, the 18th Infantry,
and the Seventh Cavalry Brig
ade, the largest completey mech
anized unit in the United States
Army.
The work of the mechanized
Cavalry Brigade will be watched
with especial interest. There are
no horses in- the organization,
and the nigged nature of the
country in the maneuver area
will test severely the effective
ness of mechanized troops oper
ating under the most adverse
conditions.
The spread of mechanization in
European armies has been an out
standing military development
since the World War, but there
are many staunch partisans of
•the horse who maintain that the
absence of the man on horseback
is likely to prove fatal to the
army which tries to ignore his
essential usefulness. As the mech
anized Cavalry Brigade from the
Regular Army attempts to run
rings around the 101st Cavalry
(horse) from the New York Na
tional Guard, the experts will
have every opportunity to ga
ther material to support their
ipet arguments on the merits of
machine warfare.
While mechanization and mo
torization will gear the ground
troops to the pace of modern
high-speed warfare, Air Corps
units will seek to drive the ac
tion even faster.
In the early days of American
history, the maneuver area lay
directly in the path of armed
forces using the Champlain-Hud- j
son valleys invading New York
from the North or Canada from
the South; but this historic trad
ition has been nullified by the
present-day reality of Canadian
American friendship and its 3,000
miles of unfortified frontiers.
In the problem presented by
the 1939 First Army maneuvers,
the invader is an enemy from
overseas who crossed te Atlantic
Ocean and landed on the New
England coast. This invading
army, represented by the four
National Guard Divisions and
their auxiliary troops, is seeking
to enter New York, and is met
in the Plattsburg area by the
Blue defending force. The effort
of the Blue defenders to check
the Black invaders brings on the
mock battle.
