2. UNIT AREA
It was rumoured that the Unit would camp in a different area, but fortu
nately this proved to be untrue, and the value of occupying the old site was
very much in evidence, with quick orientation of all personnel.
The Unit again took advantage of the opportunity of sending a work party
to GREENBANK on Sunday, 5th August, and after a day's hard work by all
members, most of the canvas was up.
The setting up of the Unit Lines followed the 1961 form, with clearly defined
areas of responsibility and authority for Section Commanders.
3. MARCH IN
The Advance Party, under Command Lt. R. A. DOUBE, marched into Camp
on Wednesday, 8th August. The task of the Advance Party is never one to be
envied. Mountains of clothing, bedding and miscellaneous camp equipment are
dumped on the doorstep of the Unit "Q" Store. Items then have to be sorted,
checked and assembled preparatory to issue. Great credit is due to the Q.M.,
his C.Q.M.S., and Io members of the Advance Party for their efficiency and hard
work in having these issues ready for the Main Body. The success of the Camp
could well begin with correct "Q" administration at this time.
The Main Body marched into GREENBANK on Thursday, 9th August. This
day was spent in Administration and "Q" activity. Platoon Commanders and
Section Commanders took over their Platoon and Section activities more quickly
and more efficiently than in previous years. Duty personnel moved smoothly
into the pattern of Day 1 routine and by evening the Unit was functioning as a
Unit.
The importance of pre-camp planning was again demonstrated by the quick
integration of Administration, Training and "Q".
