Campanile Hill Battle Planned for May 8
Approximately 50 men of Company G-4 of Scabbard and Blade are preparing to take part in the annual Armed Forces day mock battle for Campanile hill on Wednesday, May 18.
A machine gun position, mariné by Aggressor troops dressed in forest green uniforms, will be assaulted by three squads of rifle-men.
The assaulting troops will attempt to take the crest of Campileh hill. One squad will form a base of fire while the other two squads will form a maneuver element. The attackers will have to cross an apron of barbed wire to reach the Aggressor position.
Three thousand rounds of 30 caliber, blank ammunition have been obtained by Scabbard and Blade for this mock battle. To add realism, colored smoke grenades, M-80 fire crackers. TNT, and a recording of small arms fire have also been sent to the University unit for the battle.
Maj. Delbert L. Townsend, assistant professor of military science, faculty advisor for Scabbard and Blade, is completing plans to have a helicopter brought in from Ft. Riley to take part in the mock battle. If the helicopter is obtained it will be used to demonstrate evacuation of wounded from the combat zones by helicopters. One of the "casualties" of the mock battle will be evacuated from the battle area by the helicopter.
"We hope that the promise of all the empty blank cartridge cases that they can pick up will keep the kids in line until after the battle is over," said Cadet Col. Kenneth L. Cox, engineer sophomore, who is committee chairman for the mock battle. Cox has the headache that everyone presents an outside demonstration must face, that of children wandering into the middle of the demonstration.
The term Aggressor is given to the simulated enemy in all Army exercises. The Aggressor has his own uniform, ranks, language, background, and tactics. He is distinguished by his dark, forest green uniform with a ridged helmet. Permanent Aggressor units are maintained by the Army to give realism to maneuvers and exercises like KU's mock battle for Campanile hill.
