The City Commission requested that I forward this material to you for your review and recommendations. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Mayor Suzanne Shaughnessy, Commissioner John Meserve, Commissioner Mike Borno, Commissioner Theo Mitchelson, Commissioner Richard Beaver, City of Atlantic Beach 800 Seminole Road Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233 Re: COMBAT TEAM CAMP'' Atlantic Beach, Florida 1942 -1945 Dear Mayor Shaughnessy and Commissioners: One of our members, Russell J. Pardee, an Atlantic Beach resident, has researched the above captioned former military post and has summarized his findings in the enclosed report, "Military Operations at the Beaches During World War II ". Also enclosed is an aerial photo of the camp taken in August, 1943 at which time Pardee was stationed there in "A" Battery of The 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment. We believe the City of Atlantic Beach might wish to consider placing a commemorative marker on Plaza to show the location of the camp and thus preserve the historical significance of the area. With that in mind, there is also enclosed a project map of the camp area as furnished by the Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Pardee will be away during the summer, but any questions you may have can be directed to our Archivist Dwight Wilson, at our Archives, 241 -5657. For your information, we are also making a request of the City of Jack- sonville to establish a similar commemorative marker at the site of the gun position in Area 7 in Hanna Park. Sincerely, Michael Paschall, President Encl (3) MILITARY OPERATIONS AT THE BEACHES DURING WORLD WAR II World War II at the Beaches became a reality on January 2, 1942 when two units of the 31st Infantry Division, a National Guard division from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, arrived at a bivouac area in Jacksonville Beach. These units were the 1st Battalion of the 155th Infantry Regiment (less Company B) and Battery A of the 116th Field Artillery Battalion and they formed a combat team. These divisional troops, shortly after Pearl Harbor, had been ordered to Jacksonville and had been bivouacked at the circus grounds. Their duties involved protection of important facilities. In the report dated December 29, 1941 of the Southern Sector of the Southern Coastal Frontier, the U.S. Army headquarters concerned with coastal defense, appears the following troop disposition: "Bridge over Trout River -3 Riflemen Seminole Beach, Mayport -13 Riflemen Old St. Johns River Bridge -4 Riflemen New St. Johns River Bridge -5 Riflemen" The Southern Sector report for December 31, 1941 shows that this combat team moved to Jacksonville Beach from Jacksonville and bivouacked in the "recreational area" there. This "recreational area" has been identified on a 1943 aerial photo as being located in an area bounded by 7th and 9th Avenue North and 8th and 10th St. W. These troops remained at this camp until mid February at which time they were transferred out, leaving no troops at this Jacksonville Beach site. In May 1942, the Regimental Headquarters Company of the 104th Infantry Regiment and Hq. Battery of the 102nd Field Artillery Battalion, (both being Massachusetts National Guard units) arrived at the Jacksonville Beach "recreational area" and stayed there for about a month. They then moved to the newly built camp at Atlantic Beach. Immediately after Pearl Harbor and well into 1942, Beaches residents, as - 1 - a result of the following, began to see the expansion of the war effort locally and to witness enemy action close at hand: 1) On the Saturday after Pearl Harbor, George Mozo, an Atlantic Beach employee of a New York contractor, received an urgent request to lay a cable 42 inches deep for the telephone company from 15th St. and Beach Avenue in Atlantic Beach to a point 300 feet north of Steele Avenue (now Moale Avenue in Mayport). This was accomplished in a very short time and Mozo believes this project involved the establishment of a radar installation at Mayport. 2) On January 5, 1942 at a meeting of the Jacksonville Beach City Council, there was appropriated $1,000.00 to grade and drain 7th Avenue North from 3rd St. to the "Recreation Camp" with the work to be completed within two weeks. (Presumably this was to accomodate the army troops then bivouacked there). Then at a meeting on May 18, 1942, City Manager Palmer reported that the Army Recreation Camp would be moved from Jacksonville Beach to Atlantic Beach where a new army camp was being built off Plaza. 3) German submarine activity off the Florida coast in early 1942 caused a substantial loss in Allied ships. On the night of April 10, 1942, the SS Gulfamerica, a tanker, was torpedoed about four miles off Jacksonville Beach and the vessel was then shelled with deck guns until it sank. All this action was witnessed by hundreds of people on shore. 4) On the night of June 16, 1942, a German submarine surfaced off Ponte Vedra Beach and put ashore four saboteurs. They buried explosives on the beach and then left the area to rendezvous with four other saboteurs who came ashore on Long Island, New York from another submarine. After one of the eight informed the FBI of their plan to blow up defense - 2 - installations, the remaining seven were apprehended, tried, convicted and sentenced on August 8, 1942. Six were executed, one received a life sentence and one a thirty year sentence. 5) On April 11, 1942, the headquarters of the Southern Sector, a unit of the Eastern Defense Command, moved from Atlanta, Georgia to the Realty Building in Jacksonville, Florida, across the street from the Florida Theatre. The Southern Sector coordinated all coastal and harbor defense activities on the East coast from North Carolina to the West coast of Florida. This involved the placement of coast artillery batteries at a number of Temporary Harbor Defense sites and the establishment of a number of combat team camps. These camps normally had infantry units in company or battalion strength and were supported by field artillery. This infantry - artillery team then would be able to provide an immediate ground response to any landings from submarines or shelling by surface vessels. Also the combat team camps if near a harbor, would normally have a coast artillery battery emplaced in order to provide a long range artillery defense. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMBAT TEAM CAMP ATLANTIC BEACH AND ITS SATELLITE GUN POSITION OFF SEMINOLE ROAD In April 1942, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers leased 149.77 acres of land off Plaza in Atlantic Beach and construction was begun on an army camp. This camp was identified in the Corp of Engineers files as "Atlantic Beach Recreation Site," with the purpose of providing a place for service men to sleep while on leave at the beaches. Actual use, however, was as a combat team camp for rotating infantry, artillery and support units. - 3 - Land for the camp was leased primarily from R.C.B.S. Corporation, a development company with large real estate holdings in Atlantic Beach. Principals in this company were a group of attorneys whose last initials formed the company name (i.e. Rogers, Crawford, Bull & Schwartz). Somewhat later in 1942, the Corps of Engineers under a "Coastal Defense" program, leased another 29 plus acres from R.C.B.S. Corporation. This consisted of four sites with the largest about 28 acres and located off Seminole Road at Manhattan Beach (later to be known as Seminole Beach). This latter area was to be developed as a position for a four gun 155mm coast artillery battery and was one of a number of Temporary Harbor Defense sites established on the East coast to protect harbor entrances using long range artillery. Also, part of the "Coastal Defense" project involved acquisition of two small parcels located about one mile north of the gun position and one mile south. On each of these two sites, a fifty foot tower was built and was known as a base end station. These stations, using azimuth instruments would take sighting angles to targets and report data to a plotting room which would track the target and convert the data into range and direction settings for the guns; they then would be fired. It was planned that the coast artillery battery which would man the gun position on an alert basis around the clock, would be based permanently at the so- called base camp, namely Combat Team Camp, Atlantic Beach. MILITARY OPERATIONS AT COMBAT TEAM CAMP ATLANTIC BEACH AND ITS SATELLITE GUN POSITION In late July 1942, the first combat units arrived at the newly built camp. These troops were part of the 26th Infantry (Yankee) Division and - 4 - consisted of the following: (a) Hq. & Hq. Company, 104th Infantry Regiment (b) 104th Infantry Regimental Band (c) Hq. & Hq. Battery (less detachments), 102nd Field Artillery Battalion. All the rifle companies of the 104th Infantry Regiment and the three firing batteries (105mm howitzers) of the 102nd FA Battalion were spread up and down the East coast at other combat team camps and only the headquarters of these two units were at Atlantic Beach. By September 3, 1942, the 104th Infantry Regiment had additional troops at Atlantic Beach consisting of Service Company, and the Anti -Tank Company and Medical Detachment (less small detachments of each assigned elsewhere); also the 102nd FA Battalion now had its Service Battery at the camp. On October 9, 1942 an advance detachment from Battery A of the 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment arrived at the Atlantic Beach camp to prepare for movement of the battery along with other regimental units from Camp Pendleton, Virginia. The 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment, with a storied World War I record, was deactivated in 1921. Then it was activated on July 20, 1942 as a 155mm gun tractor drawn coast artillery regiment with Lt. Col. later Col. Charles E. Shepherd as regimental commander. The regiment was organized as follows: 1st Battalion Battery A & B *(each with four guns) 2nd Battalion Battery C & D *(each with four guns) 3rd Battalion Battery E & F *(each with four guns) G Battery -- Searchlight Band Medical Detachment *maximum range 20,000 yards - 5 - After a short organizational and training period at Camp Pendleton, the newly formed regiment was assigned to the Southern Sector of the Eastern Defense Command. The entire regiment then moved to six Temporary Harbor Defense sites as follows in October, 1942: Units Location Battery A, Hq Battery and G Battery Atlantic Beach, Florida (less detachments) Band Atlantic Beach, Florida Medical Detachment Atlantic Beach, Florida Battery B & Hq 1st Battalion Pass -A- Grille (Tampa, Florida) Hq 2nd Battalion Hollywood, Florida (later to Miami) Battery C Miami Beach, Florida Battery D Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Battery E & Hq 3rd Battalion Ft. Screven (Savannah, Georgia) Battery F Kure Beach, (Wilmington) North Carolina On October 19, 1942, the main body of troops of Battery A, 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment, along with Regimental Hq, Hq Battery, G Battery (less detachments assigned to the other 5 firing batteries), Medical Detachment, and Band arrived at the Atlantic Beach camp. The four tractor -drawn 155mm guns of Battery A were then emplaced in revetments on top of the open sand dunes at the newly established gun position off Seminole Road, about two miles north of the base camp. Palmetto logs were placed vertically in the revetments to keep sand from drifting into the guns and camouflage nets were placed over the guns. Also the north and south towers (base end stations) along with a similar tower at the gun position were activated and alert crews manned the guns, plotting room, and base end stations around the clock. Down back of the fifteen foot high sand dunes were four small buildings: an alert barracks, plotting room, gun mechanics room and a latrine. Also, there was a small guard shack for the duty sentry at the pathway entrance to the gun position off Seminole Road. Thus on October 24, 1942 at 6:00 p.m., Battery A opened the Temporary Harbor Defenses of Jacksonville at the gun position. As the newly arrived 53rd Coast Artillery troops found out, construction - 6 - at the base camp was still underway. There was no office for Col. Shepherd, the commanding officer. As a result, the regimental office had to be established in downtown Jacksonville in the Realty Building where space was taken next to that of SoutheriSector Hq. of the Eastern Defense Command. It wasn't until mid- February 1943 that the 53rd Hq. was moved back to the Atlantic Beach camp. At the gun position, there were numerous gun section alerts and periodic search light drills using targets towed by the Navy. Also, there was a continuing improvement and sandbagging of the revetments along with construction and sandbagging of ammunition shelters. Typical of the training alerts conducted at the Atlantic Beach camp and gun position was the following as reported by Souther Sector Hq.: "General alert and drill for Harbor Defenses held on 5 December 1942 at 0911. One round fired from alert gun 28 seconds later. The remaining three guns were ready to fire at 0926. First truck from Camp Atlantic Beach arrived at guns with personnel at 0920 and the last truck at 0922. Gas alarm was conducted during the alert and both beach defense plans were put into effect." In order to maintain a continuing alert status at the gun position, personnel were rotated on a four -day cycle; i.e. two days on duty at the gun position, 1 day leave, then 1 day duty at the base camp. There were training exercises involving road marches and overnight bivouacs at Ponte Vedra; also service practice with the four 155mm guns was conducted periodically using targets towed by the Navy. While the 53rd Coast Artillery troops were the permanent or anchor units at the Atlantic Beach camp, there were a number of other units that rotated in and out. These are as follows: 1) In January 1943, the 26th Infantry Division units (104th Infantry Regiment and 102nd Field Artillery Battalion) were relieved by the 144th Infantry Regiment (including the Hq. and Hq Company, Service Company, - 7 - Anti -Tank Company, Band and Medical Detachment); also by the 243rd Field Artillery Battalion (Hq., Hq. Battery and Service Battery) in April 1943- departed November, 1943. 2) Hq. and Hq. Company, 61st Engineer Battalion (Combat) arrived January 1943 - departed September 1943. 3) 677th Medical Collection Company (less detachments) arrived March, 1943- departed March, 1944. In early 1944, the Eastern Defense Command was reorganized in order to reduce the number of troops in combat team camps on the coastal frontier. It was reasoned that only a limited defense should be maintained against possible, but improbable isolated raids by submarines, aircraft or surface vessels operating by stealth. As of March 1, 1944, the Southern Sector Hq. in Jacksonville under whose command Combat Team Camp Atlantic Beach operated, was inactivated and its jurisdiction passed to Southeastern Sector Hq. in Raleigh, North Carolina. That headquarters then transferred out the last two major troop units at the camp. The 53rd Coast Artillery units on March 15, 1944 were transferred back to Camp Pendleton, Virginia and the 144th Infantry Regiment was transferred to Camp Van Dorn, Mississippi for reassignment to the Army Ground Forces. Battery A, 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment vacated the gun position off Seminole Road upon transfer but the position was immediately occupied by its replacement, Battery A, 263rd Coast Artillery Regiment which was transferred to Atlantic Beach from Ft. Moultrie, South Carolina. Also in late March, 1944, the 36th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (Mechanized), a unit of the 11th Cavalry Group arrived at Combat Team Camp Atlantic Beach for a short training period of about seventy days prior to an overseas assignment. During this period, the unit's 17 light tanks could be - 8 - seen training on the beach. After this unit left in early June, 1944, the only unit at the camp was Battery A, 263rd Coast Artillery Regiment and its supporting medical detachment. There was a further reorganization of troops in the Southeastern Sector and on October 1, 1944 Battery A, 263rd Coast Artillery Regiment was redesignated as the 248th Coast Artillery Battery (Harbor Defense). Then on October 9, 1944, the Temporary Harbor Defense of Jacksonville was abandoned and the 248th Coast Artillery Battery was ordered to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina for assignment to Army Ground Forces. Before departing from its station at Atlantic Beach, the 248th Coast Artillery Battery was the recipient of high commendation, in the form of a Resolution of Appreciation and Commendation, from the public officials and citizens of the city of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, unanimously adopted by the City Council, as a tribute for the effective and valorous assistance rendered by this Unit when that area was struck by a severe hurricane on 23 October 1944. The Resolution was forwarded in a letter from the City of Jacksonville Beach, signed by the City Manager, addressed to Major General D. S. Wilson, Commanding General, Southeastern Sector, Eastern Defense Command, dated 8 November 1944. It eulogized the splendid cooperation and effective assistance given by the 248th Coast Artillery Battery in this emergency, unmindful of personal dangers and the efforts involved, and expressed the sincere appreciation of the citizens and public officials of the City of Jacksonville Beach, Florida. From November 1944 until the end of the war, there is no record of any troops based at the Atlantic Beach camp or any use of the gun position. - 9 - SOME SERVICEMEN RECOLLECTIONS OF WORLD WAR II AT THE BEACHES Life for the servicemen at Combat Team Camp Atlantic Beach was certainly pleasant. The camp was located in a small, friendly town, was close to the beach and there was always transportation available to the USO and the amusement park at Jacksonville Beach. While on duty at the gun position, there was a lot of recreation time for water sports and touch football on the beach. All servicemen will certainly recall the off duty hours at the small beach bar on the south side of the Atlantic Blvd. ramp to the beach and at the Copper Kettle restaurant across the ramp. On trips to and from Jacksonville, the bus and taxi drivers were on the return trip asked to "let us off at the lighthouse." This lighthouse was located at Saltair Blvd. (later Seminole Road) and Atlantic Blvd and was part of a gas station actually in the middle of the road junction. It was the one thing about the area that servicemen recall as it was so unusual. After the war ended, the buildings at the base camp were removed and in the 1950's, the camp area was converted to an airport and known as Bull Airport. The airport operated until the early 1960's when it was closed and became a real estate development, Selva Lakes. Also part of the camp area ended up as the Selva Marina Country Club golf course which was developed in the 1950's. As to the gun position off Seminole Road, it is now part of Area 7 of Hanna Park which is operated by the City of Jacksonville and is unspoiled. Even today, three of the four gun revetments can still be identified although overgrown with palmettos and underbrush. The view from the gun revetments eastward has changed as storms and hurricanes have moved the beach about forty -five yards to the east. As recently as 1989, remains of sandbags - 10 - emplaced nearby the gun revetments during the war years, still could be found. Also, behind the dunes and on the lower level off the pathway from Seminole Road, the cement foundation for the latrine is still intact. As to the south base end stations, one of the four cement foundations for the tower has been found. It is located alongside the Oceanwalk wooden walkway to the beach and about one hundred feet in from Seminole Road. The 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment, the primary unit at the Atlantic Beach camp, underwent a transformation after transfer to Camp Pendleton, Virginia in March, 1944. On June 14, 1944, the Hq. and Hq. Battery were redesignated as the 153rd Coast Artillery Group. The three battalions at the same time were redesignated as follows: 1st Battalion - including Batteries A and B became the 290th Coast Artillery Battalion; 2nd Battalion- including Batteries C and D became the 291st Coast Artillery Battalion; 3rd Battalion - including Batteries E and F became the 292nd Coast Artillery Battalion. On August 14, 1944, these redesignated units were transferred to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina and converted to Field Artillery as follows: *290th Coast Artillery Battalion became the 778th Field Artillery Battalion armed with 240mm howitzers; *291st Coast Artillery Battalion became the 779th Field Artillery Battalion armed with 240mm howitzers; *292nd Coast Artillery Battalion became the 780th Field Artillery Battalion armed with 8 inch guns; 153rd Coast Artillery Group became the 153rd Field Artillery Group. *Additional personnel were added to activate C Battery and Service Battery in order to bring each battalion up to full strength. After training at Ft. Bragg, the 153rd Field Artillery Group was shipped to Europe and saw limited action there before V.E. day. The 778th and 779th Field Artillery Battalions saw only limited action in the Philippines while - 11 - the 780th Field Artillery Battalion was being unloaded in the Philippines when the war ended. For the nostalgic minded veterans of the 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment, there is a reunion scheduled for October 12th -14th, 1995 at Independence, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. This should be a great opportunity for the men to meet those with whom they served at Atlantic Beach and elsewhere during the early days of "The Big One."
