Mai{liot, Jr. "Cani_p §ruher, Ok[alionia" The outbreak of the Second World War in Europe in September 1939 prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to declare a limited national emergency on September 8 and step up military preparedness efforts. By June 1940 Congressional measures had augmented the federal budget for construction of arms and munitions plants, coastal defenses , and military training camps and expansion of existing bases . In 1939 the nation's armed forces numbered only 200,000, but plans for a six-million-man army had been made. Camp Gruber is an Oklahoma Army National Guard (OKARNG) training facility 2 used for Training of OKARNG soldiers . It covers a total of 87 square miles (230 km ). The base is named after Brigadier General Edmund L. Gruber , a noted artillery officer and the original composer of the U.S. Field Artillery March, the source for the Army's official song, "The Army Goes Rolling Along". Camp Gruber is located near Braggs, Oklahoma in the Cookson Hills, about 14 miles (23 km) southeast of Muskogee, Oklahoma. f2lf3l .

BERCHTESGADEN is a wreckage attesting to the superiority of the American in producing effective weapons and equipment, in planning effective coordination of means in battle, and in handling and operating these weapons and this equipment with intelligence. The 173rd Field Artillery Group contributed its full share in that great sweep from Normandy through France and Germany into Austria. By its active participation in four campaigns of World War II this unit helped to create one of the greatest victories in military history. It helped crush and destroy the once proud Wehrmacht as no modern army had ever been crushed and destroyed. Under the leader ship of its able Commander. Colonel Wilbur S. Nye, the 173rd Field Artillery Group contributed in large measure to the continued amazing victories of the American XV^ Corps. Toward the end the German superman looked third rate; the master race had been mastered! This accomplishment will go down in history in bold print a tribute to American bravery, ingenuity, skill, and fortitude.

In 2009, Kansas had four weather disasters resulting in federal disaster declarations. These included two winter storms and flooding, thunderstorms, hail, strong winds and tornadoes. The Kansas Division of Emergency Management and local emergency managers worked to ensure Kansans had the resources necessary to sustain them through the storms and to begin the recovery process. Kansas Guardsmen stood ready to support community needs. The state’s Incident Management Teams were trained to support the counties when needed with additional personnel to work in the emergency operations centers. Meanwhile, thousands of our Kansas Guardsmen served and continue to serve in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Djbouti and along the U.S.-Mexico border, protecting our nation during the Global War on Terrorism.
