u. s. army training center, fort orcl, california Fort Ord was named after Maior General Edward Cresap Ord, who served with Fremont's Army in the early California days as a lieutenant. Fort Ord covers more than 28,500 acres of rolling plains and rugged hills which make it ideal for its Infantry Training Center and Combat Support training mis- sions. Located on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula, Fort Ord is 115 miles south of San Francisco and 340 miles north of Los Angeles. Thousands of recruits, draftees, and reservists are trained at Fort Ord each year. The 3d Brigade conducts Basic Combat Training and the 4th Brigade conducts the following Combat Support Training courses: Basic Army Administration, Food Service, Basic Unit Supply, Automotive Mechanic's Helper, Field Communications, Light Wheel and Vehicle Driver.

This motto, which is also inscribed on the Army Flag, depicts the determination, devotion and constant readiness of the American soldier. During his time at the Reception Station, such terms as Aptitude Test, Classification Interview, Language Qualification Test, Clothing Issue, and Preventive Medicine Orientations, become familiar words to the new soldier. Upon completion of this initial processing, he is assigned to a training company for Basic Combat Training. There are five general categories of subiects presented during basic train- ing. They are Administration, Command Information, General Military Sub- iects, Tactical Training, and Weapons Instruction. In the first week the trainee finds that physical conditioning is one of the activities most stressed in basic training. Immediately he begins a series of iContinued inside back endsheetl
