One motor transport training battalion from MMISOARA (R 16/
T 91) with many officers arrived in CRAIOVA,
II
Rumanian infantry and artillery troops arrived in CARAGAL
(It 33/34/B 21). Others were expected to arrive inSLATINA
(R 33/34/B 21).
Comtent:
a. According to previous, but unsubstantiated information,
component units of the 2d Inf Div were transferred to the
Banate in the-late sung of 1948. However, since, the Fa of
the 2d Inf Div was identified in CRAIOVA in Tan.uary and April
1949*, it was assumed that the Hq of the Ed Inf Div either. re-
mained in CRAICVA or only temporarily moved to the Banate. The
return to CRA.IOVA of the Hq of the 2d Inf Div may be interpreted
that the division returned to CRAIOVA after completion of
maneuvers o
ba 70 Rumanian troops were previously observed in CAR.ACAL and
3LATI TTA?
c, The report gives the impression that 'Lmanian troops were
shifted to areas tvlhloh had previously been occupied by Soviet
troops. This information gains in importance in connection
with the transfer of Soviet troops from Little "'ailachia to
the Banate. 14-7owever, since Soviet rear details inere reportedly
still located in CRAIOVA in September.1949 , it appears doubtful
that the Soviets should have evacuated all Little "rallaohia.
