The bayonet thrust at a dummy
is part of the training of an Amer­
ican army which is out to show that
the Germans and Japanese really
are “dummies” for starting some­
thing that they can’t finish.
Cold steel flashes in the sun­
light, or pierces the fog. Whatever
the weather, the infantrymen are
out in it, attacking dummies which
hang over fields where cattle
grazed not long ago, or crops grew.
There’s nothing secret about this
training. It is the grimmest, stark­
est action that American soldiers
can have, yet motorists on High­
way 99W can see it going on as
they drive past the cantonment.
This camp area, veteran cam­
paigners say, is “ideally suited” for
training, because it has everything:
hills, prairie, forest, bare plain,
brooks, brush, ravines, farms and
houses, roads and dust or mud, as
the case may be. Nowadays, it’s
mud.
In addition, they say that Col.
Gordon H. McCoy, commanding
officer of the post, has done a
grand job in providing dummies
and having them arranged exactly
right for bayonet practice.
The pictuers here presented
show, in sequence, the procedure
on the qualification course.
Next comes the “assault course,
when in a sense the soldier i
taught to forget what he has just
learned: that is to say, the earlier
course is academic, rigid. Every­
thing has to be done just so. In
practice naturally that is imposs­
ible. A fellow must learn to meet
one dummy after another, as it
might be with th<- enemy in battle.
He must vary the attack according
to circumstances, and adjust him­
self to the adversary's behavior. In
short, he must be resourceful.
After that comes the “blitz
course," an advance on all past
fighting in its ruthlessness and in
the fierceness of the encounter. It
is bayonet skill plus tactics. It in­

counters. Here the empty farm swing the butt so as to catch him
houses of the camp area are per­
fectly adapted to the purpose.
Bayonet practice is arduous
stuff. Before he does anything
else, the soldier is trained at hand­
ling the rifle and holding it out at
arm's length until his muscles
stand no more. By pictures,
training goes somewhat
