Description: "A beautiful production, showing with dignity and composure the manner in which troops are transported—with equipment and all necessary supplies—by train from one part of the country to another. 'This is an excellent film for understanding the efficiency that results from skilled coordination of effort. All factors involved in this mass transportation problem must be carefully worked out and followed through. No small problem in this is the personal element involved in shifting men to an unknown destination. The ways in which the Army provides for the men en route, including food, sleep, exercise, training and drilling and recreation, are cleverly woven into the film's continuity.' School management"
