CASINO:  There is now a casino just off the post of Fort Indiantown Gap, there are NO UNIFORMS of any type or time period permitted at the Casino, even current day uniforms There will be a mandatory roll call for both Allies by Battalion and Axis by Battalion; please check with battalion commanders.  This list will be posted in each barracks and at the registration building. You MUST fall out with your assigned Battalion. No one will be permitted to deploy to the field until all roll calls are completed, and NO one will be permitted to return from the field until a second role call is completed. Military Police (re-enactors) & Garrison Police (re-enactors) section have the authority by the WWII Federation to: a, issue warnings; b, log transgressors; c, report transgressors to Regiment and the Federation in the form of a daily report. (Regiment will support this with the inclusion of the MP sections report in its AAR to the Federation) In cases where there is a question as to where a display vs. non-display unit is to be billeted in re-enactor barracks, the bottom floor of each barracks will be reserved solely for display units. No non-period items should be left on these floors (i.e. hide all coolers, keep modern magazines, and refuse off these floors) IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge and the World War II Federation will have a Wreath Laying Ceremony at the site of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge Monument on 29JAN10 at 1600 hours to include a 21 Gun Salute and Taps, with the wreath laying. KFIG Radio Station Broadcast Schedule of Special Events: ONLY WWII Vehicles may park along side of Woodland Ave.  NO Tracked Vehicles of any kind. The Battle of the Bulge Re-Enactment has been recognized by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as an educational experience.  Click here for details. Our Living History Commemoration portrays Soldiers of World War II. Our purpose is to Honor the Veterans of World War II, Battle of the Bulge and present it in an Educational manner as accurately and objectively as possible. We must stress "objectively" - we concentrate on the military aspects of the soldier we DO NOT support or in any way condone the politics which directed them. Our Living History Commemoration and its people do not represent or advocate National Socialism or any of its outgrowths.  The display of the National Emblem or other insignia is done as a part of the accurate portrayal of the soldiers of the period.  This Living History Commemoration and its people try to portray the common soldiers in a unit.  The Axis Historians provide an important foil to the Allied Historians at public display battles and living history events.  The victory of the American, British and Soviet forces did not come easily.  An accurate portrayal may permit the uninformed to gauge more accurately the difficulty and the sacrifice made by all soldiers in achieving what General Eisenhower titled: "The Crusade in Europe." Period politics are neither condoned nor tolerated.  Nor is the display of the Nazi Political Party Flags, Banners, or Arm Bands.
