Show ! The Army and the CCC i The Army, cooperating with! : other Departments, gives the CCC form and organization, and hold3 it togther as a going concern. The work projects may differ from camp to camp, but the physical makeup of all of them is similar throughout the organization. A camp of men in the mountains oi Montana building fire trails is, as I a camp, about the same as a camp engaged in state park work on the ; sandy lowlands of Florida. Whether Whe-ther a man is located in New England Eng-land or in OklcThoma, his clothes are the same and he is given the same variety and amount of foo'l. An organization as lari:e as tl CCC needs such unif- rmity. Otherwise Oth-erwise it would be very difficult to manage. As in any other large undertaking, efficient management is necessary in order to turn out the goods. Reoruiar Army officers were called from their regular assignments assign-ments with troops or at school. They were given the ji-b of moSil-izing moSil-izing and organizing a group many times the size of the United Stat' s Regular Army. They did it with more speed a:.d effirifricy than had been the ca.-e in recruiting ! men for war duty in France back in 1917.
