In 1969 I was at Fort Devens with 10th SFG(A). We could do mortar and machine gun training on post without problems. As the developers came closer and closer Devens was restricted in training. I returned to Devens in 74 and found out that much of our training was severly restricted. By the time I left we had to go to the Camp on Cape Cod next to Otis AFB to do some of our training. Everyone around there said they would never close Fort Devens as it was the last Army post in the NE. I left Devens and they were talking closure at that time and again "no one would close Devens" Well it got so restirctive that they closed Devens.

Some of the politicaians may want to look at that situation.
