"The Right Of The Line" Regiment, the 14th Infantry, is in the fight again - this time at the Grafenwohr Front.  Six weeks of war games is the schedule.  The purpose is to weld the Combat Team into a highly-trained and efficient fighting outfit.

...The approach march ... Keep that interval ... Initial contact ... Hit the ground ... The skirmish line ... Fire and movement ... Pinned down ... The mortars work over the enemy strong points and machine guns lay down a withering fire to cover the advance ... The final charge ... Firing from the hip at low, grey silhouettes ... Moving into the objective ... Reorganize and get set to push n again ...

The 14th Infantry is one of the latest additions to the Ninth Division, which now has four instead of the usual three infantry regiments n its organization.  Originally a member of the 71st Division which returned to the States recently, the 14th saw action in this war in Germany and Austria.

Relieved from all occupational duties recently, the 14th was transported to the Munsingen War Games Range in the French Zone, which was obtained through the courtesy of French officials.

A recent change in plans shifted the 14th from the Munsigen area to its present location at Grafenwohr, north-east of Nurnberg.  Both localities are former German Army training areas with facilities for combat problems.

So the "Rite-O-Liners" are back on the field of battle.  However, this time it's a little different.  The problems are realistic, the training is good.  But there isn't the same tense feeling that goes with the real thing ... None of the strained listening nor the alert watchfulness that only the nearness of death can produce.  There are no 88s to sweat out ... no mine fields.

But true to the traditions of the US Army doughboys are in there training.  Preparedness is the keynote now ... the enforcing of a just peace and the preservation of a lasting peace.
