West Point Night Battle Drill Divides Cadet Corps
A Washington Post special reports West Point cadets staging a night exercise under Lieut Col Treat. The attack and defense mirrored real battle conditions with two provisional battalions, a machine gun section, and a mountain howitzer battery. Wounded were treated on the field and stretchered to aid stations as the defense stubbornly repelled successive assaults. Captains and officers from infantry units observed, while cadets and visitors watched from the board of visitors. The event showcased practical drill and engineering feats, including a mock bridge construction by first-year cadets for evaluating crossing maneuvers. The exercise lasted over an hour with heavy machine gun fire and realistic battlefield sounds.
