cepts relative to the employment
of atomic weapons in support of

objectives and methods by which
they can best be accomplished also
will be discussed during the ses
sion in which Army training per

During the session members of
Lt. Col. Wiley
(Continued from Page 1)
the privilege of commanding
•720th Military Battalion a bat
talion which has one of the
proudest and most colorful his
tories of any Military Police
unit in the United States Army.
The battalion was activated at
Fort Meade Maryland on January
20 1942. Lt. Col. Harry D. Furey
was it's first commander. With an
authorized strength of 29 officers
and 518 enlisted men it was
brought to full strength and be
gan training for M.P. duties.
The training continued at Fort
Meade until March of that year
when the battalion moved to Penn
sylviana relieving the 175th In
fantry of it's duties of guarding
reservoirs pumping stations poW'
erplants dams railroads and oth
er public and industrial installa
tions in that area.
In June 1942 the battalion was
reorganized and moved to the San
Francisco Port of Embarkation
departing for Sidney Australia on
July 24th aboard the USS Mount
Brenon.
The battalion arrived in Sidney
on August 14th 1942 and until
September 1945 performed military
police duties in Australia New
Guinea and the Phillipine Islands.
In April 1943 Sergeant Fred
erick A. Burness a member
of company "B" was escorting
a prison detail by air from
New Guinea when his plane
crashed in the ocean near Port
Moresby Sergeant Bru-
ness lost his life in that crash
becoming the first casualty of
the battalion.
September 1945 found the bat
talion moving to Tokyo Japan to
take up military police duties in
that city. From September 1945 un
til it relieved the 307th Military
Police Battalion here at Hood in
Feb. 1955 the 720th performed
military duties in Tokyo.
It's decorations and citations are
many and it's history is indeed
a proud one.
After assuming command of the
battalion Col Wiley stated "We
shall always endeavor to give the
best possible military police ser
vice to Fort Hood and IH Corps."

A SPADE IS A SPADE
YOU may wonder sometimes just why you're in the Armed
Forces.
i-
You may wonder why you have a Reserve obligation. You
may wonder why so much time and energy and money is being spent
on defense.
Maybe you even entertain the hope that the Communists aren
ready and eager to take advantage of the Free World.
Well hold on. One of the b&sic doctrines of communism is in
the Reds' own words:
"The existence of the Soviet Socialistic States side-by-
side with Capitalistic States for a long time is unthinkable. In
the end either one or the other will conquer. And until that end
conies a series of the most terrible collisions between the ^So
viet Socialistic States and the Capitalistic States is inevitable.
There it is right on the line. And remember: they said it
brother we didn t. (AFPS)
