Lack of a transport ship and ocean beach does not deter men of the 53rd Infantry at Camp Ord, Calif., from going in for landing party exercises. Scaffolding with a net draped over one side, which the men call “black beauty,” is made to simulate high-sea conditions by rocking and pitching it with ropes and pulleys. On the order to “go over the side,” soldiers scramble down the net and into a small boat underneath as though they were actually in the act of making a landing.
