Signal Construction Battalion Rapidly Expands Reserve Unit
The 302d Signal Construction Battalion in Frederick grows quickly with over 100 sworn in and new enlistees awaiting orders. Under Lt Col James Bartgis Jr, the 402d has expanded from a few members to a sizable unit, earning recognition in the Second Army area. Recent enlistees and assignments include several Korean War veterans and multiple promotions. With warm weather, outdoor activities resume at range firing, and preparations begin for a two-week Fort Meade summer camp from August 15 to 29.
