will disperse In the Forest to
begin Operation DEVIL

"Twice within the last two

"Today, wa are faced with

great at that encountered In
these hot ware. We call this
a cold war, but the necessity
remains to ba prepared for
possible hot war action.
"In order K> maintain the

we must train constantly. The
