252nd Rifle Division (Soviet Union)

Hi. I am considering assessing your GAN 252nd Rifle Division (Soviet Union). If I decide to, are you OK with me copy editing it first?

PS I liked the edit summary "summaries are hard". And agree with it. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:16, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

• That would be great. Dealing with a reviewer that seems inactive is really problematic. Thanks for picking it up, as I would like this to get to a higher level after GA. (Not my edit summary though) Kges1901 (talk) 13:44, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Camp Carson training details

Kges1901,

My source for details on what type of training were carried out at Camp Carson is an official U.S. military publication about the history of the Fourth Army from 1946 which can be found here ---> http://www.militarymuseum.org/WWII-4th-Army-History%20(1).pdf

This training program is alluded to in various other publications relating to U.S. Army personnel practices in World War II.

The 90th, 113th, 125th, 140th, 144th, 174th, 201st, and 300th Infantry Regiments were detailed to give this six week training at their respective installations beginning in April 1944, with antiaircraft and tank destroyer units being inactivated and their personnel sent there. A program of volunteer transfer to infantry also was authorized in April 1944 via War Department circular, and these units also received some men from this source. The 372nd Infantry Regiment, a segregated unit, was detailed to provide this training to African-American converts and volunteers, but departed for overseas service in early 1945. The 37th Infantry Regiment was detailed at Fort Benning for a time to assist the Parachute School in providing training to men who had volunteered for the paratroops.

The 90th, 113th, 125th, 140th, 144th, 174th, 201st, and 300th Infantry Regiments were assigned to the Replacement and School Command in early 1945 to become the infantry training regiments of a new full-sized Infantry Replacement Training Center at Camp Rucker, Alabama, which was activated on 12 February 1945.

• Thanks for doing the research, and adding your source. Much appreciated. Kges1901 (talk) 21:31, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

• Many thanks The howling cow. Depending on your work program, you may wish to fill out Fort Carson/Fourth United States Army with some of the information. I may or may not get to that before you do.. :) Buckshot06 (talk) 16:25, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
