| | CHAPTER III |
 | | The forward echelon, corps replacement and school division, was to receive replacements from the base division, to continue their training, to forward them to combat divisions, and to supply the troops for the corps schools. |
 | | Division surgeons had been carefully selected at home and were officers of experience, but their office forces usually consisted largely of personnel unfamiliar with many military details, though some organizations fortunately included commissioned and enlisted Medical Department personnel who had had experience in the National Guard or elsewhere. |
 | | Similarly, the sanitary train of the 1st Division was dispersed in three villages, included in its Infantry area, while one of its field hospitals operated as a camp hospital in a fourth, also a part of the division medical personnel remained with the Artillery in another area from that occupied by the Infantry. |
