District Court, W.D. Louisiana August 16, 1956, Nos. 5276, 5297, 5339, 5396, 5404, 5537 (Honeycutt v. United States)

Benjamin C. DAWKINS, Jr., Chief Judge.

Each of these unrelated cases have one legal point in common, which we here decide.

These are negligence actions, all arising from separate accidents which occurred during the extensive Army maneuvers, known as “Operation Sagebrush”, conducted in Louisiana during the fall and winter of 1955.
