President Roosevelt federalized the National Guard in August 1940, and
the draft was reinstated Sept 1 that year.
The U.S. Army conducted large scale maneuvers in the Carolinas, Georgia,
Louisiana, and Texas in 1940 and 1941 to develop Armor and anti-armor
tactics in response to the successful blitzkrieg tactics Germany used
during the Battle of France.

Mike,
I had some of the same feelings about timing.
Some of those pre-war shots had a number of guys in khaki uniforms.
On a side note, I did some searching thru Cushman's photos at his
Arboretum shots.
It will takes some work to find the exact locations and camera angles
he used, if possible.
I was out shooting this morning and digital can be more colorful than
his chromes.
Regards, Bob S.
