Schwarze, Donald (Completes Combat Trn. - 1953)

Camp Gordon, Ga. -- Donald Schwarze, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ewald Schwarze, Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.), has completed basic combat training in the Signal Corps Replacement Training Center here.

In his basic combat training he received instruction in infantry tactics and weapons, and other army subjects designed to prepare the individual for his military duties. Signal Corps basic embodies all phases of training common to the army program.

The Signal Corps Training Center, of which the Signal Corps Replacement Training Center is a part, is the key source of our army's communications specialists. In five years this center has mushroomed from a handful of buildings and founding cadre to the largest signal center in the United States Army.
