SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1943 News JgNk from Camp BUTNER The unsuspecting trees waved peacefully in the breeze in Buna Mission in New Guinea as three Japanese moved stealthfully to ward the American lines. Three well-aimed shots rang out and the Japs died without even knowing what hit them. They had not seien the perfectly cam ouflaged American soldiers even though they passed within ten feet of them. At Camp Butner, a newly ar rived unit, the 602nd Engineer (Camouflage) Battalion, under the command of Major R. E. Kearney of Hollywood will train men to take advantage of all the protection that naure and mans’ genius has placed at their dis posal. The 602nd 'which is under the military jurisdiction of Col-I onal Sidney S. Eberle’s Second Army Special Troops intend that camouflage advantages will al ways be cn the side of the Amer ican troops. ‘"We have two missions”, says Major Kearney, a former Holly wood motion picture engineer. One is to conduct camouflage training in the zone of the In terior, and the ether is to seei that the American soldiers know and use the best camouflage technique in the theatre of oper ations.” The men of the 602nd after they have received their train ing will advise the various unit's on the post how to camouflage the men and their equipment. For every theatre of war, there are different colors and patterns employed. In Africa whites and pastels are used; while in Guad alcanal, colors run to dark green and brown. In the field of combat' the Announcement! We have purchased the Service Station in Roxboro on Main street that has been operated as .

Barnett men of this unique Battalion are attached to the various units of a field army to inspect, advise and assist in camoulage instal lations. A tactical battalion might have one private in charge of camouflage; while a division would probably have one officer ! and three enlisted men assigned ! to it. The reports from the vari | ous men in the field are then j sent m to the commander of the camouflage battalion and con solidated there. Another important phase of tha camoufleur’s work is to de tect icnemy camouflage installa tions. This is done by the use of airplanes and aerial photogra phy. The skilled camoufleur is trained to seek out enemy de ceptions, such as the use of shrubbery in concealing land- and even changing the physical appearance of a large city. An entire force can be hid den from suspecting eyes by protective camouflage. Colors and patterns on the vehicles and guns would blend them into their surroundings. It is up to the camouflage engineer to interpret them for what they are. The most important duty of the camoufleur is to impose camouflage discipline on the troeps. The men mus tbe taught that' intelligent concealment migh mean the difference be tween life ond death. The personnel of the 602nd Battaliin is comprised of many artists in the fields of the paint ed canvas, stage and motion pic ture, who are using their talents for the waging of war. Major Kearney, before com- J ing to Butner was in charge of Engineer training films, depict ing tactics and activities of the Corps of Engineers. The unit made the first training film in technicolor. This film, the first in a series, were made on the subject of camouflage.
