U.S. Armv Will
J
Reshape Its
Regular Division
WASHINGTON UR — The U.S.
Army made known Saturday it will
start within a few weeks to reshape
its regular division into the most
heavily-gunned and most maneu
verable in U S. history.
The changeover, first in seven
years, will be gradual and may take
the better part of two years to
complete. '
Fourteen infantry, armor and
airborne division in the United
States, Germany, Korea and the
Pacific will be revamped. Only
one division at a time will be re
cognized in each area to minimize
disruption.
The Army’s two newest divisions
—the 1st Armored at Fort Hood,
Tex., and the 5th Infantry at Ft.
Carson, Colo.—were organized un
der the new concept from the
ground up. The Army said their
performance in field testing “de
monstrated convincingly the sound
ness of the new division structure.”
Since 1956, t^e older infantry
and paratroop divisions have been
formed under what the Army calls
a “pentomic” structure built around
five battle groups of about 1,350
men each. Armor divisions are
made up of three combat com
mands each, comprising varying
combinations of tank and infantry
battalions.
The pentomic structure was
adopted because the Army felt then
that the three-regiment triangular
division of World War II and Korea
was not suitable to the nuclear
battlefield.
In recent years, Army planners
have seen the need for still an
other reorganization that would
adapt in radically different kinds
of terrain around the globe, as
well as for the atomic battlefield.
Accordingly, they came up with
still another concept under which
battalions of from 750 to 850 men
would be the “building blocks” for
divisions which would be tailored
to a specific mission and environ
ment.
Each division may have as few
as six battalions or as many as 15.
Each division also will include
three brigade headquarters which
could be the nucleus for forces of
less than division size.

City, Washington, D.C., and Col
onial Williamsburg, Va., next

Bernstein's Concerts Will
Be Presented at Savoonga
Conductor Leonard Bernstein’s
concerts will soon be enjoyed by
Eskimos on an island in the Bering
Sea.
Thanks to Ford Motor Co.’s film
library at Oakland, three films of
Bernstein’s concerts have been
sent to Savoonga, St. Lawrence
Island.
M. F. O’Donnell, manager of the
film library, who is accustomed
to just about all kinds of requests,
admits this one from the fringe of
the Iron Curtain was a bit “dif
ferent.”
St. Lawrence Island is located
in the Bering Sea between Alaska
and Siberia. Actually, on a map,
the island appears to be closer to
Siberia than it is to the mainland
of Alaska.
The request for the films came
from Frederick A. Goranson, prin
cipal-teacher at the Savoonga Day
School which is operated by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs under the
U.S. Dept, of Interior.
“Many of the people have never
been off this island, which is close
to Siberia,’’ he wrote. “They have
relatives living in Siberia, but have
had no contact with them since the
‘Iron Curtain’ descended.”
The Oakland Ford Film Library
serves the 13 western states. Dur
ing 1961 films from the library
were shown more than 100,000
times to a total audience of more
than 5,500,000.
