The department said, however,
that the accident and death rates
would be considerably lower than
J for a corresponding numDer of
|Civilain persons during the same
period of time.
"Casualties are expected to be
more numerous during maneuver*
than during preliminary training
in camps," the deptrtment said,
"because of the greatly increased
I activities under simulated war
( conditipn% Troops will be con
stantly in movement over all kinds
|of terrian and at night operations
will be under blackout conditions.
" Roads in the maneuver areas
will be congested with men and
fast-moving tanks, mechanized
equipment and motor vehicles.
Realism in the war games also
| will put all troops under stress oi
keen competition for the outcome
Jof these 'free maneuvers' will de
pend entirley on the action taken
by the man in the field."
The November maneuvers in the
Carolinas will involve approxi
mately 302,000 troops and the de
partment said probably 70 of them
| would be killed and 30 die of dis
| ease. About 22,500 will be hos
pitalized by disease and 7,500 by
injuries, the department said.
