I have a photo album from my father's Army days and most of the pictures are labled "LOnghorn". Any info on the excercise? I know it involved his unit relocating to Texas.....

Thanks Wes. He wasn't in the 82nd but he did mention riding in the back of a 2-1/2 ton truck all the way to texas. In some of the pictures there's a clothesline strung down the center of the trucks with uniforms hung on them.......
