A short cut to the mechaniza
tion and mobility needed by the
Infantry in modern warfare has
been discovered in the M56 "Scor
pion" the Army's new self-pro
pelled airborne 90mm antitank
weapon.
Recent experimentation with the
versatile M56 at the United States
Army Infantry School reveals
that it can provide a full-tracked
platform for the 106mm recoilless
rifle the 4.2-inch and 81mm mor
tars the quad .50 machinegun
antitank missile and other In
fantry weapons. It can also pro
vide the chassis for a new light
amphibious Infantry personnel
carrier.

areas of extreme cold makes
this information vital read

RADC's Organized
By Chemical Corps
O E A N A a
(ANS) A small team-type or
ganization called the Radiological
Control Center has been develop
ed by the U.S. Army Chemical
Corps School here to plot and
predict radioactive fallout and to
evaluate radiological monitoring
and survey data in a combat
zone.
Announced this week by the
Army the units called "RA
DC's" will be composed of
one officer and four enlisted men
and will be established at Field
Army Corps and Division levels.
Functioning with speed accu
racy and skill each unit will pre
dict fallout from enemy weapons
as well as evaluate and dissemin
ate radio-logical data for its area
based on readings taken and re
ported by ground and aerial mon
itors.

job to "Manage our resources

He added: "The big time saver
for building good habits is what I
call the principle of integrated
training. It means applying all we
know to all we do all the time.'
Opportunities to integrate tactical
training General Clarke asse
exist whenever a unit moves
halts bivouacs or does almost
anything.
The CONARC commander
put special emphasis on a call
for more night training. "In
warfare of the future we will
do more and more things un
der the cover of darkness" he
said. "So we must acquire ha
bits and training now that will
enable us to move freely and
fight effectively at night."
These guidelines were the high
lights of a talk made by General
Calrke to the National Guard As
sociation convention at Atlantic
City on 29 September. Guardsmen
from throughout the Nation ga
thered there to hear General
Maxwell Taylor and top officers
of other services.

THE ARMORED SENTINEL FORT HOOD TEXAS
General Bruce C. Clarke
USCONARC commanding general-
has spelled out a blueprint for
bringing the Army to a higher
level of combat readiness.
In a major statement of current
CONARC policy the Army'
senior ground commander strong
ly urged increased realism in field
training. And he urged that more
training time be allocated for unit
as opposed to individual
training exercises
'I propose" General Clarke
said "that we approach our com
bat readiness problems with
sense of wartime urgency appro
priate to the gravity of our situa
tion.
"I propose that we eliminate the
non-essentials and bear down hard
on the essentials in training
I propose that we move much
faster toward achieving a degree
of readiness consistent with our
mobilization requirements."
Replacing wrong habit with
right habit the four-star offi
cer went on "is THE training
task. The right habits must be
so deeply ingrained by con
stant practice that correct re
sponses are instinctive under
stress."
Such seemingly minor points as
wearing helmets and carrying
weapons at all appropriate times
are key habit-formers General
Clarke pointed out. "The soldier
taken by surprise without a weap
on in his hands rarely gets a sec
ond chance to change his habits.
