Training Game Delivers Hard Lessons at Fort McPherson
In Atlanta and Fort McPherson Georgia the training period nears three months as the officer reserve corps camp reports about 15 discharges daily. About 1845 student officers remain with 101 regulars and reserves. Over 650 students have been discharged since May 15, including 250 to engineers or coast artillery. Physical exams and ability to keep up with work drive many dismissals. Target practice tightens as 600 yard shoots improve pistol skills across cavalry and artillery units. Next week’s infantry and cavalry schedule covers distances, range finding, field work and fortification building. Artillery training continues with soldiering basics, horse stables, cannoneer duties and signaling.
