a training section in sanitation, under the surgeon, was originated in early january 1945, when capt. w.d. sheets, reported for duty. water treating equipment and other sanitary equipment and supplies were immediately ordered. during january the sanitary demonstration area, lectures and training films were utilized in the training program, since no other training aids were available. with the removal of casa to the presidio, early in february, use of the fort ord sanitary demonstration area was eliminated. by the latter part of february, three other sanitary officers had reported for duty, majors milton o lee and howard e. dorst, and capt. w.r. bradlee. the training program was then organized with four hours of instruction in water sanitation (capt. sheets), two hours in waste disposal(capt.bradlee), four hours in food sanitation (maj. lee), four hours in insect and rodent control (maj. dorst), and four hours in field sanitation by all of the above officers. major dorst, the senior officer, was designated chief of section, and capt. sheets continued as property officer. as more training equipment was received, floor space available in the dispensary became inadequate and the sanitary training section was moved to larger quarters in building 5.
