\wv x Schofield Barracks, Hawaii Army pfc Curtis V.Frazier of Amissville, Va., and near ly 3,000 soldiers of the 25th Infantry Divisions’ 2d Brigade Task Force began leaving Hawaii by air Jan.25 for Okinawa to participate in Exercise QUICK RELEASE. The month-long exercise is scheduled to end Feb. 25. Task Force personnel are carrying only essential light combat equipment. Heavy equipment, including artillery weapons and tanks, will be issued from ships of the Military Sea Transport Service, a forward floating depot, after the men deplane at Okinawa. This new logistical approach, being tried for the first time in the Pacific Command, is expected to speed the movement of troops to trouble spots and to reduce airlift requirements during an operation’s initial stages. Frazier, regularly assigned as a driver in Troop A, 3d Reconnaissance Squadron of the division’s 4th Cavalry at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, received basic training at Fort Gordon, Ga.
