‘The Vietnam War: 1945-1975’ at National WWI Museum and Memorial

In early 1918, the US War Department created the Student Army Training Corps (SATC) as a way to hasten the training of soldiers for the war. Students in the SATC would simultaneously take college courses and train for the military. The intensive training course at Bliss Electrical School where Maurice Bryant served provided training for electricians. This photo shows SATC drafted men from the Washington, D.C., area installing wires for the electric lights and motors in the wiring laboratory at the school, August 13, 1918. National Archives
