Watch May-Jun 2003 - 3rd Infantry Division

[Pages:10]Looking for...

My name is Rosemary Moody Neill and I am searching for my Dad, Sergeant Jasper G. Moody. He was in

Europe in WW2. Dad, until recently has not wanted to discuss the war and especially with me, his daughter.

He lives in Georgia and I am in Ca. so the distance is an obstacle with my understanding some of what he tries to tell me. If I understand correctly, he went in at Ft. Bragg, NC Nov. 1942 out Jan. 1946. In the states @ Ft. Bragg he was in, Division 100, Company K, 3rd Platoon. When arrived in Europe became: 15th Inf. Regt., 3rd Division, L Company-3rd Platoon-2nd Squad

Is there any way possible you can help me locate anyone associated with this information? I have searched though I am thinking I may be searching incorrectly. Any help will be greatly appreciated and especially by my Daddy.

Thank you,

Rosemary Moody Neill Daughter of: Sergeant Jasper G. Moody

! I would very much like to hear from veterans of the Third Infantry Division and 65th and 33rd Infantry Regiments who participated in the Puerto Rico (PORTREX) Maneuvers of 1950. PORTREX was the largest Joint, Airborne, and Amphibious peacetime maneuvers in history. Two Regimental Combat Teams of the 3rd Infantry Division and one Battalion Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division participated as the core of the Liberating Forces and conducted amphibious and airborne operations against two battalions of the 65th Infantry and one battalion of the 33rd Infantry defending the island of Vieques.

The Liberating Forces were supported by an impressive array of naval and air forces.

I would also be very interested in obtaining copies of any 3rd Infantry Division or veteran photographs pertaining to PORTREX.

I already have both the official exercise critique and photos from the National Archives, but would be very interested in a soldier's perspective of their units and the exercise. I would like to learn more unit manning, training, and readiness for the exercise and would appreciate veteran insights into leadership and both the strengths and weakness of their units. I understand the 3rd Infantry Division published a pamphlet or book on PORTREX for the participants after the exercise and I would very much like to obtain any divisional documents on the exercise.

The following is my contact information:

Teaching soldiers to save lives

By: Spc. Adam Nuelken, Staff Writer, Frontline Forward February 06, 2003

Course takes first aid to the next level

CAMP NEW YORK, Kuwait Hours of class work and hands on training in saving lives reached its pinnacle Jan. 25 when soldiers tested their knowledge to become combat lifesavers.

More than 70 soldiers worked for five days to learn extensive first aid techniques. Techniques they may find valuable on the battlefield and in everyday life.

The Combat Lifesaver Course is a 40-hour course that builds upon common task training and adds a variety of first aid methods.

"They learn several things. They learn how to do different kinds of carries. Depending on the situation, they learn which kind of carry to use. They learn how to build different kinds of litters. If you don't have a litter, they teach you how to build one with the items you have around you," said Master Sgt. Everett Bivens, Ocilla, Ga. native and Division Surgeon's Office noncommissioned officer in charge. "It also teaches you how to start an IV, the signs and symptoms of shock, how you treat for shock, how you treat burns, head injuries, chest injuries, abdominal injuries and limb injuries."

One of the most important and difficult tasks is giving the intravenous injection on the first try, according to Bivens.

"Most soldiers can do it," he said. "A lot of soldiers are afraid of the needle, and they are afraid they won't get the catheter in the vein on the first try. So they're real nervous of it."

The next thing is the carries.

"Some people can out lift their own body weight, so we expect them to at least lift 150 pounds or more as a medic, plus their equipment," Bivens said. "So that is difficult for a lot of people."

Medics tend to casualties while under fire

By: Spc. Katherine Robinson , 50th PAD 4/24/2003

When the two medics came to Iraq, they never expected to be on the front lines. That was not their assigned role in the war. But that's exactly where they found themselves - under fire, and called to action by their wounded comrades. Spc. Michelle Chavez is an ambulance driver with the 550th Area Support Medical Company from Fort Bragg, N.C. A Huntington Beach, Calif., native, she is currently assigned to the 566th ASMC from Fort Hood, Texas. Her partner Spc. Michael Lastimado is a 566th ASMC soldier from Kapolei, Hawaii. Lastimado and Chavez work at the enemy prisoner of war camp near the 3rd Infantry Division (Mech.) division rear. Their job is to treat EPWs and wounded soldiers who come to the rear.

But in early April, they were a little farther forward, working with one of the 3rd Inf. Div. forward support battalions. On April 3rd, the two were heading toward the Euphrates River, when they received a call that one of TF 4-64's mortar soldiers needed evacuation. "Our task force (4-64) didn't have their main aid station set up, so we had to take the patient to ... I think 1st Brigade's main aid station," Chavez said. The ambulance had one escort vehicle, TF 4-64's command sergeant major, Command Sgt. Maj. Dennis Oggs, and his driver Pfc. Travis Nelson.

After dropping the patient off, the medics tried to get in contact with the task force, and heard over the radio that the 464 convoy was being ambushed, according to Chavez. "We couldn't catch up to them, so we stayed with the vehicle we were rolling with," she explained. "We drove most of the night, taking turns sleeping and driving."

Eventually they ended up at Baghdad International Airport, on the outskirts of Baghdad.

That morning, two B Company, 2nd Battalion 7th Infantry soldiers who Chavez and Lastimado were talking to, started screaming, "Tank!" There was an enemy tank approaching. Chavez

described the infantry dismounts scrambling, picking up anti-tank weapons, running toward the tank, while a Bradley Fighting Vehicle approached it from another direction. "It amazes me that we were sitting there watching those guys run closer to get a better shot at the Iraqis who were trying to shoot at us," she said. "They're braver than I could ever hope to be. "I heard a loud boom," she continued. "Clothes flying up in the air, people screaming, "medic." Lastimado and Chavez treated the three-man Bradley crew for smoke in the eyes and singed hair, but no serious injuries.

"We pulled back a little bit, about 500 feet down the road," Chavez explained.

"When you see a fellow soldier die in front of you, it breaks your heart," he said. "It temporarily paralyses you." When the medical helicopter arrived, Chavez said there wasn't even room on the bird for the last patient. "He stayed with us and we changed his bandages again," she said. When they moved to another part of the airport to meet up with a convoy, they took the patient - who she referred to as "Luis the engineer" - with them and put him in the back of the air-conditioned ambulance to make him more comfortable while they called in another MEDEVAC.

Yet again, the convoy they were waiting for was being ambushed. When it came in, there were three casualties that needed treatment. Chavez said they evacuated two with Luis the Engineer, and returned the third to duty. Luis told her "thank you," before she left. "It feels great when a soldier tells you, `thanks doc,' for helping them out," Lastimado said.

Instead, the soldiers found a grid coordinate on the nearest forward aid station, and after bandaging the patients, brought them to the FAS. They parked around the side of the aid station, where Chavez recalled Oggs telling her, "we'll be safer here."

But this was not to be. While parked, the area came under fire from Iraqis with AK-47s, she said. Someone started screaming for a medic yet again. One of the aid station medics ran first, followed

by Chavez and behind her, Lastimado. Nelson, Oggs' driver, acted as a sort of bodyguard for Chavez. "He was running between me and the rounds," she said. "It just amazed me that he put his life on the line for me." The patient they found upon arrival had a minor shrapnel wound and they returned him to duty after treatment.

"After that we had a little break," Chavez said. "I was back at the ambulance when the firefight started." This time it was in earnest - attack from AK-47s, mortar rounds and Iraqi 50 caliber guns. "The fire started coming in. The sergeant major looked at me and said, "maybe we should get down now." Chavez said they waited in that position during the first two calls for medics. "We knew (the FAS) had enough personnel to treat the number of patients." But when the third call came, she and Lastimado ran to help. While the FAS physician's assistant pulled up a 113 Carrier Personnel to block incoming fire, the medics set to work, Chavez explained. "I was thinking, `Please, God, let our guys be okay." Lastimado said he, too, was thinking less about getting shot, and more about rescuing the soldiers and getting them out of the area. There were several serious patients this time around. One died, according to Lastimado.

Soon afterward, a mortar landed in the area. No one was injured, but the soldiers moved to another area where they spent the night, according to Chavez. The position these medics were in was very abnormal for someone from an ASMC, according to their first sergeant 1st Sgt. Carl Massey, from Newton Grove, N.C. "Our traditional role as an ASMC is echelons above corps, very much in the rear," he

said. "The front line is far removed. The mindset is different." Massey said the ASMC soldiers train to see medical emergencies, and work under pressure, but under fire on the front lines is a different story. He said being attached to the 3rd Inf. Div. was a non-traditional role to begin with, and then the company pushed people to the forward support battalions, which is farther forward than most of them would ever normally get. The FSBs, in turn, pushed them even farther forward. "This answers a lot of questions as far as the training of people in rear areas ... soldiers are soldiers and they're always going to give. That's what makes the Army great," Massey said. "The reason I'm here and able to do this job is because the guys on the front lines are willing to sacrifice their lives for our freedom and safety," Chavez said. "If it wasn't for them, none of us would be here. I appreciate everything they do."

Lastimado said he would never forget the traumatic experience. "It was more than I bargained for. If I have to go to the front again, I will gladly do it ... I have a lot of respect for those who went before me to battle."

Chavez saw combat in Afghanistan as well as Iraq, but for Lastimado, this was a first. "The soldiers ... did what they needed to do, without question and without regret," Massey said. "But I know it's been tough on them. That is something that will haunt you."

Medics can't move away from the carnage after a battle, he explained. They have to stay and deal with the aftermath.

A Medic Recalls Boomerang Hill

PITTSBURG TRIBUNE-REVIEW, By Chuck Plunkett Jr., Nov. 11, 2002.

When the U.S. Army drafted Chuck Currie in 1952, he was a former North Side boy living in the North Hills and newly engaged to a young Etna woman so pretty he'd given up another young woman to call her his own.

He was 21. Of the war in the Far East, he knew only that his North Korean and Chinese enemies were Communists and that it was his duty to try to stop their influence from spreading. He tells people he was never a hero. But he takes pride in knowing he fought for his country when it asked him to. "I wouldn't trade it," he said." "But I would never want to go through it again."

The Army made him a medic, armed him with an M-1 carbine, a .45-caliber pistol and grenades, and sent him off to Korea with the 3rd Division in the Kumwah Valley. Currie developed a hatred of normal sleeping hours, as attacks came mainly at night. He volunteered for night duty, so he could at least be awake when the mortars started falling.

His trial by fire came near the end of June 1953, less than a month before the conflict ended.

Currie's unit approached Boomerang Hill, which got its name from changing hands so often. They were to replace soldiers stationed there. As they drove up, a mortar attack knocked Currie from his jeep, and the battle continued for two more hours.

Afterward, Currie and the other medics went out to look for the wounded and dead.

The unit they came to replace had been overrun. Men had their hands tied behind their back and their throats slit. They had been attacked in the night, and no one had known it.

Currie remembers seeing two soldiers lying on the side of the path. "They were just looking up at the sky," he said. "We rolled them over and the whole back of their heads was blown away. Well, the skin was actually covering the skull. Whether they were killed by the Chinese, execution-style, we don't know. When you're doing something like that, you do what you have to do and then you get the hell out."

The 7th Infantry CP at Anzio

Ididn't have a camera while I was on the Anzio Beachhead. But the 7th Infantry Command Post was ingrained in my memory forever. I was responsible for it's security, in addition to my other duties, as platoon leader of the I & R platoon. In the late 1940's, someone in my family gave me a sketchbook for Christmas. I still have it but there is only one sketch in it. That sketch, which I drew from memory many years ago, is of the 7th Infantry Headquarters area on the Anzio Beachhead near Conca.

The house on the lower right is where I spent most of the daylight hours. The farmhouses appeared to have been made from the same plans. They were concrete with a red tile roof. I didn't sleep at all during nighttime. If there was a sneak attack on the CP, that's when it was most likely to come.

There were alerts that nighttime attacks on headquarters by small groups of enemy parachutists were possible. I spent every night patrolling the defensive positions of my men. One squad was quartered in the barn behind the house and that's where I slept when I could. The front of the house and the second story had been devastated by an incoming enemy shell which hit the front wall near the roof line, early on. Two of the back rooms in the house were occupied by Major Sinclair, the Regimental Surgeon, his tech sergeant, and the regimental aid station. I remember that the major invited me into the aid station to join them for cocktails once, when he had no patients. They were made from the orange juice powder which came in C rations, dissolved in a mixture of medical alcohol and water and served in an aluminum canteen cup. Delicious! Even without ice!

I also remember a wounded Kraut POW being brought in for first aid. He sat on the floor, fully conscious, but with a bloody hole in his neck. The tech sergeant took a foil packet of sulfa powder out of its paper envelope, creased the paper into a V shape, poured the sulfa powder onto it, pursed his lips and then blew the sulfa into the hole in the prisoner's neck. Later, during the breakout, the major gave me a Colt 45 caliber pistol, which had belonged to an officer from Division Hq. who was seriously wounded by shellfire while visiting our CP area. It was an unauthorized weapon, but I carried it for the rest of the War.

All civilians on the Beachhead had been evacuated and taken down to Naples on the returning supply LSTs.. But they were not allowed to take their livestock, except maybe dogs, chickens and rabbits. Across the road are two of the many dead cattle killed by enemy shellfire. Their bodies were swollen to twice normal size with their legs pointed straight up. They smelled to high heaven up to a half mile away. As the warm weather came on, we had to bury them with our entrenching tools during the hours of darkness, which required one helluva big hole for each one!

On the lower left is a live surviving animal. And closer to the road is the house in which the Regimental Staff and War Room were located. Colonel Wiley O'Muhundro was in command at that time. One of my men lived in one of the haystacks behind the house until a hot shell fragment set it afire and it burned to the ground. Across the road is another house, the same except that the attached barn is on the side instead of in the back. The first floor of this house was occupied by Captain Tracy, Hq Co. CO, and Captain Hergenreter, the regimental interrogator. Two squads of my men occupied the second floor.

The pile of rubble on the right of the house is the oven house which took a direct shell hit. The small building behind the house is the outhouse, which we never used.. It was too far away! A slit trench and entrenching tool outside the rear door was safer.

A narrow dirt road ran between the houses. There were drainage ditches on both sides of the road that enabled us to go between houses during daylight, without drawing shell fire. All vehicles were kept at Service Company in the rear.

In the background are the Alban Hills which surrounded the marshy Beachhead. One of the towns in the hills is Cisterna. This was enemy territory which would be taken later at great cost. The buildings were white and the windows were black. And we imagined an enemy artillery observer in every window! My memory is better than my artistic skills and this was one of those tense experiences one doesn't forget.

"San Francisco's Own," WWII

By Jack H. Dailey

Over the years there have been bits and pieces written about the 30th Infantry Regiment and it's history with the San Francisco Presidio. The regiment was known as "San Francisco's Own."

All of that changed with the coming of the U.S. draft in 1941. And what a change for the 30th as well as many other Army units throughout the country. The 30th never has been as fabled as the 7th and 15th outfits (with their many widely known military figures serving in their ranks).

The draft was a homogeneous melding of the old and the new as far as the 30th was concerned. The memory begins on Feb. 18, 1941 in Detroit where draftees were assembled, sworn in and hustled off to Camp Custer at Battle Creek, Mich. There they were merged with other conscripts from many other parts of the state. There we were given the standard physicals, IQ tests and issued in many cases parts of leftover World War I uniforms. After three days we were shipped via train to San Francisco and the Presidio. The temperature was about five below zero when we left. The temperature upon arrival at SF's Marina Green was between 70 and 80.

At the Presidio the sad sacks were assigned to the companies. I recall vividly First Sergeants Mowatt of E, McMillan of F and Young of H looking on in utter amazement at the sight. "Get those overcoats off those men," yelled McMillan.

Now began the merging the old and the new. Prior to the draft the 30th was a spit and polish show horse outfit which strutted its stuff whenever SF wanted to show off. The SF World's Fair was winding down in 1941 and the regiment went over to Treasure Island every day to raise and lower the flag in exact military fashion.

Company F was made up of old China Hands as well as those who found a home in the Army because they were unable to survive during the depression years. So our training began both on the parade ground and on Crissy

Field, beyond old Letterman Hospital. We learned our lessons well and in time we were trucked all the way to Forth Lewis. There they put the 30th away out on the boonies

Page 20

The Watch on the Rhine

while the 7th and l5th had the nice permanent barracks.

Amphibious training took place at Lake Washington near Seattle and San Diego. In between were sojourns at Hunter Ligget near Jolon and to Fort Ord.

Fast forward now to Camp Pickett, VA near Blackstone and the final preparations for battle and embarkation at Newport News, VA. Nobody knew anything until we were at sea and the orders for the Western Task Force under General Patton were unveiled. It was somewhere in North Africa.

That fateful day came on Nov. 11 and we went down the rope ladder and into the LSTs and set a course for the mainland. Our objective was Fedala, the Wadi Nififi River and the French coastal gun emplacement. The French ignored a surrender request and the 2nd Bn., 30th under Col. Lyle W. Bernard opened up with mortars and rifle fire to no avail.

Navy battleships took over and the battle soon was over. I can hear the16-inch shells coming over and doing their job. On the beach-front, surprised and dumbfounded civilians watched in disbelief.

In about a week the battalion was transported via French 40 and 8 boxcars all the way to Guercif, a god-forsaken nowhere in the middle of nowhere marked only by a French Foreign Legion outpost. They were kind enough to let us use their showers periodically. Our mission was to safeguard the Spanish Morocco border against infiltrators.

Then it was on to the closing stages of the Desert War at Tunis.

On to Sicily and the landing at Licata. In a few days Patton ordered the 2nd Battalion to trek from south to north across Sicily a forced march of around 35 miles. The Second Battalion was responsible for the two amphibious landings behind German lines that severed their escape route along the north coast.

To Italy and up the boot of that country, including stops at San Pietro, Cassino, the Volturno River and so on.

The division landed at Anzio, and went on to southern France and toward and into parts of Germany.

In closing, the 3d Infantry Division has again covered itself with glory in Iraq. They chose the right outfit to spearhead the campaign.

PFC Berthel O. Bigler - Platoon Runner

Ft. Meade , Maryland, was the last U.S. replacement depot for Infantry replacement officers being shipped to the Mediterranean theater in December1943. We were issued a laundry list of equipment on which we stenciled our name and serial number. And we reviewed the designated beneficiary of our GI life insurance and signed our last will and testament. As a 2nd Lt. Infantry, I was issued my authorized weapon which was an MI Carbine, along with several magazines of .30 caliber ammunition. One month and three repple depots later, (Casablanca, Oran, and Naples), I was given my choice of weapons just before boarding my LST to go up to the Anzio Beachhead, as a replacement officer in the 3rd Infantry Division. Having grown up during the 1930's, and having read about Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger, Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde and other notorious outlaws, I chose their favorite weapon, the .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun!

My assignment was platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the 7th Infantry Regiment. I was replacing Lt. John Banks who had been KIA on a patrol for the Volturno River Crossing. As I got to know my men, I noticed that one of them, PFC Bigler, couldn't take his eyes off my Thompson sub-machine gun. Bigler was an intense, business-like young man and a good soldier. I was becoming discouraged with the Thompson's weight, the weight of it's ammo and it's short range. I also decided that it might be a good idea to have a body guard who had a weapon with lots of short range firepower. Of course, I couldn't justify a bodyguard to my company commander, my men, nor even to myself. But I could justify a platoon runner who rarely left my side. I asked Bigler if he would like the job and the Tommy Gun, and he quickly agreed. I gave him the Thompson and I got a carbine. I also carried a .45 caliber pistol, that was not authorized, but was given to me later by a medic who evacuated a badly wounded Major who no longer needed it.

Bigler and his Tommy Gun were at my

I can remember more than one occasion when the sight of his Tommy Gun at close range was followed by enemy raising their hands in surrender.

side throughout the remainder of the War. Although I can't say that I saw him shoot anyone who was threatening me, I feel sure that the sight and presence of he and his weapon was enough to discourage attacks on my life. I can remember more than one occasion when the sight of his Tommy Gun at close range was followed by enemy raising their hands in surrender. And as my platoon runner, he often dug a two man foxhole while I deployed the rest of the platoon. And he was occasionally able to warm a C ration or make a cup of instant coffee while sharing one of the few single burner Coleman gasoline stoves we had in the platoon.

When the War ended, there was no longer a need for a bodyguard or even a runner. Bigler and I drifted apart as we settled into the peacetime mode of Occupation Duty in Germany. I am ashamed to say, just as in the case with my driver PFC Steele, when he was eligible for rotation after the War, I didn't even know Bigler was leaving nor get a chance to say good-bye and thank him for guarding my life.

I have tried to find him in recent years through the Internet, all without success. Wherever you are Bigler, thank you for your part in getting me through!
