On April 4, some of the officers who had spent more than three months at the Brigade and Field Officers’ School at San Antonio, Texas returned to the division, and Colonel John J. Garrity was transferred from command of the 132^nd Infantry to that of the 130^th Infantry, replacing Colonel Frank S. Wood, relieved.  On April 5 occurred the first review of the entire 33^rd Division which was held at the manoeuvre grounds four miles north of Camp Logan. Beginning at 9:45 A.M., three hours were required for the troops to pass in front of General Bell and his staff and, although certain defects were noticeable, the troops and animals showed a marked improvement since the various brigade and regimental reviews which had been held in the preceding weeks. That same day General Order No. 52 was issued, embodying for the information and guidance of all concerned, the numerous regulations which would govern the transfer of the division to the port of embarkation.  April 5 marked the arrival of the first increment of drafted men to fill the division to maximum strength.
