Battery C Encampment Ends And Armory Move Planned
The 248th Group Army battery encampment concludes as Battery C hosts a championship game against the 243rd Battalion.

G Allan Ballou Jr reports that a cement strike delays part of construction but completion may occur in September or October with parking and access roads to start next week.
