The soldier on the right isn't exactly making this hand-to-hand combat exercise hard, leaning in to greet the blade approaching his sternum.


The year is 1917, and these soldiers are in Camp Dick, an aviation training facility near Dallas, Texas. The man on the left, an English sergeant major, is preparing his U.S. allies for battle in World War I. But the Americans are likely also training to protect the still-young border with Mexico. Between 1910 and 1919, the U.S. had a series of skirmishes with its southern neighbor, the most notable being Pancho Villa's 1916 attack on Columbus, New Mexico. During the raid, Villa, along with 500 cavalry, burned and looted homes in the dead of the night. But U.S. army troops garrisoned in the town were quick to respond, and chased Villa back to Mexico. The U.S. captured him a year later.

The New York Times reported in 1919 that Camp Dick had trained more than 25,000 aviators, though not necessarily in flight:
The Dallas camp, while neither a ground school nor a flying school, was the neck of the bottle through which practically all aviators who have entered the service since its establishment, Jan. 30, 18, have passed. It was designed as a place in which the morale of the aviators could be maintained while the men were in transition from one stage of development to another.

右边的士兵并没有让这种徒手格斗练习变得艰难，他俯身迎接接近胸骨的刀片。


这一年是1917年，这些士兵在德克萨斯州达拉斯附近的迪克营，一个航空训练设施。左边的人是一名英国军士长，他正在为他的美国盟友在第一次世界大战中的战斗做准备。但美国人很可能也在为保护与墨西哥之间仍然年轻的边界而进行训练。1910年至1919年期间，美国与南部邻国发生了一系列小规模冲突，最引人注目的是潘乔-维拉1916年对新墨西哥州哥伦布的袭击。在这次袭击中，维拉与500名骑兵一起，在夜深人静时焚烧和抢劫房屋。但驻扎在该镇的美国军队迅速作出反应，将维拉赶回了墨西哥。美国在一年后抓获了他。

纽约时报》在1919年报道说，迪克营已经培训了超过25000名飞行员，尽管不一定是飞行。
达拉斯训练营虽然既不是地面学校也不是飞行学校，但它是一个瓶子的颈部，自18年1月30日成立以来，几乎所有进入部队的飞行员都通过了这个瓶子。它被设计成一个可以在飞行员从一个发展阶段过渡到另一个阶段时保持士气的地方。
