August-October The Battalion communications office was relocated from the old TOC to a building near the Battalion headquarters. One of the problems faced during relocation was obtaining three phase power. After the move the office was operating off of temporary electrical lines attached to nearby buildings. The temporary set up hampered the communication operations due to frequent power failures. Permanent three phase power was essential to operate the radio Teletype machine which was often the only effective method of communications with B Company elements located in IV Corps Tactical Zone.
