(IP) The Army massed 100,000 troops today for gigantic war games in the Carolinas in which soldiers must deal with make-believe A-bomb blasts and atomic artillery fire. “Operation Flashbum,” the Army’s first maneuver using atomic weapons, get underway across a vast expanse of the Carolinas mprrow to test atomic warfare tac tics. More than 3,143 soldier and 1,500 tons of equipment of a transplant ed infantry division were airlifted by 80 giant C 124 to nearby Pope Air Force Base last night. Strategic air cover has been fer ried across the nation from the home bases of air wings taking part. The infantrymen flown in last night comprise the 14th Regimen tal Combat Team of the 37th Buck eye Division which is being moved with full equipment from Camp Polk, La., to take part in the exer cises. REALISTIC MANEUVER No actual atomic weapons will be set off during the maneuvers lasting cntil May 6 but the mock fighting nevertheless will realistic ally create conditions of atomic warfare, the Army said. Ground forces will be supported by 380-mm “atomic cannon” artill ery pieces, heavy artillery rockets and electronic guided missiles in use in full-scale field tests for the first time, the Army said. Troops will wear special clothing to protect them from “radio-active contamination” and will carry gel ger counters into simulated atomic bombardment areas. The strategy calls for defending the Carolinas coasts from the spear head of an aggressor force which already has “captured” positions in Florida and holds a large part of Canada.
