CAPTAINS CORNER The smile of Captain C. J. SMITS, Commanding Officer of attack transport ship U.S.S. GEORGE CLYMER (APA-27) expresses both gratitude and surprise as the Land- ing Force Commander in Operation Westwind , Colonel Claude D. BARTON, Com- manding Officer of First Brigade, Twenty-fifth Infantry Division accepts GEORGE CLYMER plaque from the Captain and reverses the table to surprise the Navy Cap- tain with a commemorative plaque from his organization. A highly successful Army- Navy amphibious exercise on the Island of Molokai in the Hawaiian chain during April 1964, Operation Westwind is typical of the close interservice co-ordination and sup- port of our modern day Armed Forces.
