These are some pics of my great uncle Ernest Mabe of Mt. Airy, Georgia, at the Desert Training Center in the Mojave Desert taken circa 1942. The name of the place was later changed to the 'California Arizona Maneuver Area' and is the largest training area in US history. One photo he appears to be goofing off carrying every single piece of equipment he could find - minus his actual uniform due to the heat. In one photo he also has what looks like a M3 fighting knife clenched in his teeth.
