Army postpones Blue Bolt war exercise over Texas landholdings
Washington reports the Army will limit Exercise Blue Bolt to small unit and command phases at Fort Hood after farmers along the planned 1 1 Texas county scope balked at giving land permission and cited slow damage claims from a 1952 maneuver. The delay stemmed from difficulty securing written consent from landowners, a contributing factor to the postponement.
