We are planning a unit training activity for 6 JUNE 09 (yes... D-Day) in Zoar, Ohio. We will be conducting a class on map and compass work (including a practical compass course). We will also continue our training on squad tactics.
This is open to other Allied reenactors as well.
Please mark this on your calendars and I will have more information in a
few days. Please email Chris Smith if you plan to attend. You can also visit the event Facebook page by clicking here.
Orders are as follows:

Note; The above agenda is provided as a rough outline for the day's activities and is not yet finalized so subject to chage.
502 PIR Uniform;
Since training will take place on June 6, it is only fitting that the M42 jump suit with jump boots be the uniform of the day. For those of you who do not have your Normandy kit yet the M43 uniform is perfectly acceptable.
M2 or M1C helmet with or without net and scrim, and overseas cap.
Web gear appropriate for D-Day is prefered. Rigger ammo pouches would be correct as well as standard issue gear.
327 GIR Uniform;
Standard wool uniform with M41 field jacket or HBY jacket and trousers. Rough-out ankle boots with canvas leggings. For those of you who do not have your Normandy kit yet the M43 uniform is perfectly acceptable.
M1 helmet with or without net, and overseas cap.
Standard issue infantry web gear.
Firearms;
M1, 03 & 03A3 rifles, M1 and M1A1 carbines, Thompson SMG, Grease Gun, 1911A1 pistols are acceptable. BAR for 327 GIR only. Okay maybe someday we'll have a BAR!
NOTE, Do not bring any ammunition period.
