Abstract:
In early July 1943, Major General Edwin P. Parker demanded the men of his 78th (\"Lightning\") division test their skills at Camp Butner. Major General Simpson supervised the exercises relevant to real-battle scenarios. The men comprised the Twelfth Corps and traveled from Fort Jackson in South Carolina to Camp Butner. The activities lasted three days and tested everything from loading artillery to emergency medical procedures.
