I guess this area is now off limits for training. Before you know it 10th MTN will be looking for a new place to live.
I wasn't aware the marines had archeologists also. kinda hard to dig with a rifle in your hands!
It's always something -- inside the "pink zone" on the Range Control map of the Ft. Drum impact area there is a small "no fire area" about 100m square -- it is an Italian Navy cemetery from WW2 when "Pine Camp" (as Drum was known then) was a POW compound. Location from memory follows: From MP6: Az 5000m, Rg 2500M.
I understand that a delegation used to (and still may) lay wreaths there annually on Italian Memorial Day. Any Freepers know more about this? Those poor swabs ought to be dug up and moved somewhere sunny.
