Since July 10 the most of the organizations composing the Maneuver Division of regular troops at San Antonio, Texas, have been returned to their stations.1 It is, therefore, an appropriate time to review the health conditions and sanitary administration of this camp, which has established a record that is unique in our Army for the smallness of its sick-list, the excellence of its sanitary arrangements and the completeness in organization of its medical department. The division consisted of eight regiments of infantry, two of cavalry, two of artillery, and the usual quotas of engineers, signal corps, and hospital corps. The latter had in addition to the regiment, four ambulance companies and four field hospitals. These were complete in equipment so far as the Medical Department could supply them, but one ambulance company and one field hospital were never supplied by the Quartennaster's Department with their mounts and draft animals. |
