Eisenhower.〔 ==Organization== The Signal Corps filmed convoy events;〔()〕 and the civilians of the Goodyear band was transported from Chicago in one of the trucks. The Publicity Officer (Lt William B Doron) rode with Ostermann 2–10 days ahead of the main body,〔()〕 while the Recruiting Officer (Capt Murphy) was 1–2 days ahead, and the Cook and Mess units were several hours ahead,〔Carpenter (1920)〕 Two motorcycles scouted about ½ hour ahead to report conditions and place markers.〔 In addition to 230 road incidents (stops for adjustments, extrications, breakdowns, & accidents) resulting in 9 vehicles retiring,〔 the convoy of "''24 expeditionary officers, 15 War Department staff observation officers, and 258 enlisted men''" had 21 injured en route who did not complete the trip.〔 Although some "were really competent drivers" by the end, the majority of soldiers were "raw recruits with little or no military training"; and except for the Motor Supply Company E commander (1st Lt Daniel H. Martin), troop officers had "meager knowledge" of "handling men in the field".〔 ((also published in Mechanical Eng., vol. 42, no. 3, March 1910, pp. 145–150 and 205, 16 figs.) ) pp. 2–4: List of control points with dates and mileages, p. 5: List of officers, p. 8: List of vehicles & trailers, p. 31: Appendices pp. 60–80: Daily Log * NOTE: The p. 2 "Frederick, Md" listings indicate the table uses the inaccurate title "Scheduled Arrivals" for the locations/dates of Scheduled ''Departures'' (cf. "East Palestine" listings after the Sewickley delay). Similarly, p. 4 inaccurately indicates the last 3 ''scheduled'' listings (i.e., Jackson's retyped schedule has scheduled departures from Stockton "8/29/19" and Oakland "8/30/19", which inaccurately means a different--but unidentified--scheduled destination for the evening of 8/30 was required before the ''scheduled'' "8/31/19" rest day and subsequent arrival in San Francisco.)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1919 Motor Transport Corps convoy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
