Cooperation In Defence Against Invasion

From A Special Correspondent

ONE OF THE things that most impress one after periodical visits to troops engaged in preparations for defence against invasion is the way in which plans for the counter assault are steadily becoming standardised and a definite technique evolved.

・・・ Another, and this is encouraging for more than one reason, is the increasing degree of cooperation that exists between the full-time troops and the Home Guard.

The public ought now to be let into the secrets of the way in which the last three months have. been spent experimenting in the development of plans for throwing | the invader back into "the. sea should he gain a foothold. It can now be stated with confidence that whenever the call is made it will be answered in a methodical rather than a haphazard manner.

The questions arising from a decision to form mobile forces were difficult. What should be the strength of the smallest yet effec- tive mobile force? How should it be constituted? How should it operate? In the last two months the answers have been given, and they now await a practical test, which may come more quickly than is usual with military theory, Big Strides

The company had the wireless car with it, and was a self-contained fighting unit even down to its supply trucks and field ambulances. The infantry carried their 2in, mortars, and behind a barrage of these they advanced to the final assault: Presumably the rest of the battalion would be rea- sonably close at hand as reinforce ments should the mobile company prove less successful than they ap pear to be in this mock action.
