THE SCORE

FRANCE ... NOVEMBER 1944

This playset takes place at the United States Army’s Camp Lucky

Strike Replacement Depot, near Le Havre, France.

By the fall of 1944, the U.S. Army was losing infantrymen faster than

it could train new recruits. Poor planning and German tenacity com-

bined to crate a deep manpower shortage on the front lines of the Eu-

ropean theater. The ill-advised solution was the Replacement Depot,

or “repple-depple”. Nestled safely in the rear, the Replacement Depot

was a temporary home for soldiers awaiting new units. Some were

recovered from injuries, some were green troops directly for training

known as “replacement increments”, and some were “otherwise dis-

placed” for various reasons, often dubious. They were sent to whatever

unit had a need, often without regard for their specialty – anti-aircraft

gunners and tank destroyers were thrown into infantry battalions and

men who had never seen a tank were dropped into Shermans and told

to learn fast. Men separated from comrades they had spent years train-

ing with were guaranteed never to see them again once they hit the

repple-depple. Boredom and low morale led to crime and foolishness.

It was, in a word, a iasco.
