Here are some details on the event.

Where: Ft Ben Harrison State Park, Indianapolis, IN.
When: 08 – 10 April 2011
Host: Museum of 20th Century Warfare www.m20cwinfo.org
This event will be a Normandy scenario conducted in a wooded area with many natural ravines which covers 150 – 200 acres. This event is intended to be a 36 hour immersion beginning early on Saturday morning (0300) with both Parachute and Glider elements being inserted by truck (truck jump) into assigned DZ/LZ’s and then into assigned Assembly Area’s. There will be a hot food vendor on site and plenty of POV parking, water will be available. It is understood that many unit members, especially GI, who do not normally portray Airborne would like to participate, we highly encourage them to do so at this event as the more the better. For those of you in this category you or your unit commander should contact the Liaison Officer of either the 82d or the 101st Airborne Divisions which are listed below for more info. German and British unit commanders please do the same. TSG/HRS Authenticity and Safety Rules will be used with the unit commanders to be responsible for their units. Unit commanders please contact the appropriate Liaison with your unit strength for the event or any questions or concerns. Registration forms can be found at the Museum website which is listed above.

This is to let everyone know that the Airborne Event that we have been planning at Fort Harrison for April 8,9 & 10 has been POSTPONED! A new date(s) will be published as soon as they are set.The reasons for this are numerous and would have put the Park and Museum in a very tight spot with many influential supporters in the Indianapolis area. A meeting was held there on Sat. 8 Jan 11, with the Event planners, DNR OIC, and the Museum Director, and discussed the situation and restrictions that have been imposed. The DNR has another part of property we may be able to use that would be perfect for the Airborne Event. I am going with the DNR Rep. to check the property in Feb. to see if it will work and has the facility's we need. All present agreed on this postponement. We will have an event this same weekend at the Fort and change the senerio to Hurtgen Forrest. All are invited! an new post will be up for this event soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. Pup

Thank you.
