The functions of an ambulance COM
panv in time of action is to establish
ana man a dressing station in a zone
of relative safety and transport such
sick and wounded as are unable te
walk from the regincntal aid stations
! TO tile dressing station and from
| thence to the field hospital.
| The field hospital is a mobile unit
and cares for and shelters the sick and
| wounded only until transferred to the
levacuation lines.
| Recent investigation on the part OF
ithe Division Of Militia Affairs demon
strates that. with but few exceptions
the National Guard organizations OF
the various states are. at their. very
best, unprepared to care for sick and
iwounded beyond the regimental aid
stations, and have made no provision
for this most important sanitary SER
/ vice back Of the regimental lines. II
is desired to impress upon the state
and territorial militia authorities the
importance of this sanitary service
| and the fact that, like other organized
branches, it is one of the essential
auxiliary means for the support OF
combatant troops in field service and
| that it is desirable the steps should be
| taken in all states and territories to
| make provision for ambulance COM
| panies and field hospitals, according to
| the organization prescribed in Field
Service Regulations, 1910.
1t is urged that states organize these
| medical units in the proportion of one
| to each brigade, and that states whose
military force is less than one brigade
organize at least one Of these units
either an ambulance company or field
hospital.
Aside from their Importance from q
| military point of view. the possession
| of such trained, organized, mobile
| sanitary units, capable of despatch in
| a few hours to scenes of civil disaster
| such, as fires, floods, earthquakes
cyclones, etc, is most valuable asset
for commonwealth to possess and a
potent source Of popularity and en-
Encouragement for the existence of Ma
tiOnal Guard,
