"Curtis took part in the Louisiana maneuvers of 1941. During the maneuvers, the medical detachment job was to treat battalion members who were injured or had been bitten by snakes. After the maneuvers, he learned that he was being sent overseas with the 192nd."

"Realisitic military training can lead to injuries and death due to safety risks incurred through various factors including lack of sleep, enervated, the presence of heavy equipment, traffic accidents, and the presence of firearms. During the Louisiana Maneuvers, 26 men died. Most men lost their lives from drowning in the Sabine River and vehicle accidents. One died from getting struck by lightning, and one had a heart attack at age 24. [3]"
