For the people of Summit County, this two week training exercise of the 19th Special Forces Group is one they wont soon forget. The idea for the Special Forces originated during WWII and when several hand-pickspecially trained groups were chosen for vital missions. In the early 50s, the need for a ed Brigham Youth, Lost in High Uintas, Is O.K. Members of the visiting Green Berets didn't spend two weeks working at war problems in Summit County. A number were assigned to community improvement The Coalville baseball diamond at the Fair Grounds gets a good working over here. (Whether or not this was the equivalent of KP was not announced.) Special ForceS'Group was seen and it was organized. In order to qualify, men must pass strict agility tests and prove tlielr ability to think for themselves and act individually as well as a unit. Their discipline may seem a little loose to men used to the strict army discipline but it is based largely on and only men who are qualified in this area can become part of the group. The National Guard units were formed during the late 50s and early 60s and it was during the Kennedy Administration they were given the green berets as their special symbol. Many of the men in the National Guard unit have served their two or more years in active service and joined the unit to continue their military obligation. The men coming into the units are airborne-qualifiand have had at least six months service and training. They must then go through four steps in further training: The first step is the green men who are sent to jump schooL Although there are a few positions in the units which do not require jumping, only medical disability will keep them from ne Five year old Paul Horne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Horne, of Brigham City, wandered away from his parents campsite in the Bridger Lake Campgrounds on Smiths Fork Creek, almost directly south from Lyman, Uinta County Wyo.

Marvin Combs, Mountain View, Wyo. district forest ranger, Wasatch National Forest said rescuers spotted the youngster several times but the child apparently became frightened and kept eluding them. The youngster came upon an Evanston couple in China Meadows, about six miles from his parents camp. The couple summoned the Summit County Sheriff. The boy told Sheriff Robinson he slept under a willow tree Saturday night. Rangers said the temperature in the mountainous area dropped to near freezing before daybreak Sunday. The boy was dressed in only a jeans and tennis shoes. The Hornes had left last Thursday for a camping trip in the Bridger Lake area. Five units of the Uinta County sheriffs search and rescue organization were in the area looking for a U. S. Geological Survey bench mark Saturday when they were told of the boys disappearance. The Wyoming searchers were soon joined by Summit County sheriffs search and rescue units, forest rangers and Utah Fish and Game conservation irt, officers. By Sunday morning, many Summit County residents as well as a large number of persons from the Mountain View-Fo- rt Bridger, Wyo. areas had joined the search. ed Marion Scene of Green Beret Battle MARION ! - The most excitement for many a day broke loose in Marini Tuesday night. The Green Berets invaded the quiet little town shattering the calmness of the atmosphere with their mock warfare. theoretical enemy had taken over this little village and the inhabitants were truly upset. However most knew what was happening but it was a scarey experience. The abandoned Wherritt house served as headquarters and it was here the battle was staged. Shooting, rockets, wild screeching, paratroopers landing just like in the movies, only the real thing. Sets our minds to thinking and sympathizing with those who are entering the real thing. We are indeed a fortunate people, lets be more grateful.

In charge of this program were Candy Kumapi, Jimmy Jones, Pat Hardman and Coral Crittenden. Extension Agents J. Reed Moore and Mary Bacon stated it was an outstanding camp and the younpters participated in all activities and were very orderly and mannerly. They expressed their appreciation to parents and leaders for their help. making the required one jump every three months. The second step in training divides them into the "A and B teams ("A is 10 men and two officers, B is 20 men and 4 officers) and sends then into the field for training in special missions. These are the men who jumped into this area and whose training is the main objective of this exercise. Their first job in the field is to organize the guerrilla bands and determine their needs in trailing or materials. In order to avoid the aggressors they must keep on the move, getting as far away from the drop point as quickly as possible. Their specified missions may be to Mow up a bridp, dam, or transportation routes; to destroy specific enemy installations or to capture prisoners for interrogation. Sometimes their mission is to pt information on enemy movements or strength and relay it back to the conventional troops so they can plan their maneuvers accord-lnel- v. good the will and show them soldiers arent there to harm them but to help them. This is one of the largest and most extensive training exercises of this type ever held and one officer stated they had been hoping to come to Utah each year for the past two or three years.

The training exercise tries to simulate as closely as possible actual battle circumstances. While no active ammunition is used, the planning and carrying out of the missions is done as it would be in real war. The third step in the training process is the man who has successfully completed his training and has accomplished several missions in the field. Men from this step were used in this training exercise extensively as the Aggressors. Their job was to strike and capture, making the exercise a matching of wits and giving the boys an opportunity to use their training. The fourth step is the old hand who could accomplish the missions with his eyes closed. He served as an advisor and assists the men in the training. When prisoners are taken, they are returned to headquarters for interrogation where they aTe given the full treatment. They are then returned to their units to further the "problem as the training exercises are called. Along with the other missions, the Green Beret have a Civic Action Program in which the troops work with local citizens at civic improvement projects. These boys painted the grandstand and prepared the baseball diamond in the City Park for use. They also helped to build the sidewalk and fence along the road to the fair grounds. In setting up this program, the officers met with the Mayor and City Council, asking them what could be done to aid the City of Coalville. This isnt just being done here to win the good will of the Coalville people, but is part of the job of the Green Beret wherever they are stationed. In other countries they help in similar projects or bring medical aid and education to the people.
