Army Artillery Generals Move to Reid Brigades and Camps
Army and Navy officers rising from colonel in field artillery are assigned to brigades and stations. Names include Allin at Camp McClellan, DeArmond at Camp Custer, Bryden at Leon Springs, Hand at Camp Kearny, Howard at Camp Bowie, Briggs at Camp Travis, Tulebrant at Fort Sill, Rees at Camp Jackson, Cole at Camp Meade, Nugent at Camp Sheridan, Blakely and Currie at West Point Ky, and Lawson to Fort Sill with further reassignment pending. Training for aviators continues with hydro airplane work at Miami. More than 200 wounded soldiers return to active duty abroad as reconstruction efforts rehabilitate veterans. The dental corps expands to roughly 18,000 officers by 1919 with phased commissions starting at Fort Slocum and other camps. Navy reforms include promotions for chaplains and staff officers while pursuing greater production of ordnance and weapons.
