R?itirn of Wounded Troops to Kwangsi. During April and May 1953, about 2,000
,,rounded men of the 2.1 Army Group who had been previously stationed in the Kwangsi
Military District returned in several groups from Northeast China.' These
sick and wounded men were staying in Liuchou (N 21+-18, E 109-16)2 and Kweilin
(N 25-20, E 110-10).
2. rRroop Education. On 5 June the results of an examination on military tech-
nique and cultural matters given to Chinese Communist troops in Kwangsi were
made public (sic). Only 18 percent of all persons taking the examination passed.
Because the troop training and cultural movement had been a.failure, troop
education was to be on a regular, continuous basis rather than on a short-
term basis as in the past.
Kwangsi Public Security Divisions. In June Kwangsi Military District had two
pia"bl.i.c security divisions, the 19 and 20 Public Security Divisions. The 19
Public Security Division had garrison duties at Kweilin, Liuchou, and Wuchou
(N 23-28, E 111-19), and the 20 Public Security Division had defense duties in
Nanning and in the self-governing region of the Tung (0302) nationality in
western Kwangsi.3
Reorganization of Kwangsi Militia. During June a program to reorganize the
mil:i.tia in the Kwangsi Military District was temporarily delayed. During the
reorganization a total of 80 militia to tui (11.29/7130) had een reorganized
into 20 militia basic units (chi. kan t?uan, 1015/1631/0957).
