Army experiments plan a provisional infantry regiment
Captain Bjornstad proposes a large provisional regiment of 54 officers and 1 955 men formed from four infantry units. It will include mounted scouts and a machine gun, field hospital, sanitary detachment, and a full train. The unit will train on a 300 mile hike and maneuvers with regulars and guards, with departure expected by June and arrival at Sparta by July 10.
