EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from January 1926, the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) of Purdue University, Indiana, USA, are seen engaged in military maneuvers. The scene is led by a 1918 Dodge Brothers Command car, its distinctive grille and headlights illuminating the wintery landscape. Three Harley-Davidson motorcycles follow closely behind, their powerful engines roaring as they maneuver through the snow. The command car, with its open top and seating for several officers, is an essential component of the ROTC unit's command and control structure. Its presence at the front of the formation indicates the importance of effective communication and coordination during military exercises. The three Harley-Davidson motorcycles, with their iconic V-twin engines, were popular choices for military use due to their reliability and power. Their ability to traverse various terrains made them ideal for reconnaissance missions, as seen here in this formation. A 1918 white reconnaissance truck follows the motorcycles, carrying essential supplies and equipment for the ROTC unit. Its open bed allows for easy loading and unloading of equipment, making it an essential tool for the soldiers in the field. Bringing up the rear is a 5-ton artillery tractor, its large wheels churning up the snow as it moves steadily forward. The tractor's primary role is to tow artillery pieces, enabling the ROTC unit to engage in artillery training during their maneuvers. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of military training in the United States during the 1920s. The combination of cars, motorcycles, and trucks in this formation showcases the evolution of transportation technology and its role in military operations. The ROTC unit at Purdue University was preparing its officers for the challenges of the modern military, ensuring they were well-equipped to serve their country.
