Marshall told Hope that sol diers sent overseas are usually given additional training after they reach the theater of opera lions. In come cases, however, he said, this is not possible. He pointed out thai while il required a year or more lo train a full division, an individual sol dier placed in a veteran unit may be adequately prepared for bat tle in much less time; "It should be kept in mind," Jie said, "that all of these men i , . ure assigned to units with long combat experience where the leadership from non-commissioned grades upward is in the hands of veterans."
