LESSON NO. Is
STAFF BRANCHES OF THE
SERVICE.

In addition to the three fight
ing arms-lnfantry, Cavalry and
Artillery-there are nine branch
es of the Army known as the staff
corps, and department. In gen
eral their first and most import
ant duty is not fighting. but as
sisting those who do fight, by
providing them with everything
they need. Very few people out
side the Army have a clear idea
of the organization of these nine
branches or of their duties.
Following are the staff corps
and departments: General Staff
Corps; Adjutant Generals De-
partment; Inspector Generals
Department Judge Advocate Gen
erals Department: Engineer
Corps; Signal Corps; Medical De-
partment; Quartermaster Corps;
Ordnance Department.
The first four of the staff
branches just named are com
posed entirely of experienced and
capable officers. The other five
include enlisted men as we'll as
officers.
THE BRAINS OF THE ARMY
The business of the General
Staff Corps is to study military
problems of all kinds, to work out
the best solutions, and to report
to the Chief of Staff of the Army
1t is often called the brains of
the Army and it would be hard
to give a better description in a
few words. The War College
division of the General Staff
Corps is devoted to the study and
investigation of new and special
problems.
In time of war some of the
members of the General Staff
Corps serve with the generals in
the field and assist them i'm solv
ing and handling their various
problems. While on this duty
the senior General Staff officer
acts as chief of staff of the com
handing general. This position
is not to be confused with that OF
Chief of Staff of the Army. who
has general supervision of al
military operations, both at home
and in the field.
The Adjutant Generals depart
ment has charge of all of tho
records relating to Officers an6
enlisted men, issues orders to
carry out the wishes OF the COM
handing officer, and carries OF
military correspondence. In ev-
cry battalion and regiment one OF
the officers of the line is detailed
as adjutant to perform for hi,
organization the duties just
named.
MILITARY OBSERVERS.
The Inspector Generals do
partment observes everything
that goes on and reports on tho
skill and general fitness of Off
GERS and troops. AT intervals ar
officer from the Inspector Gen
erals department reviews the
men in each organization: exam
ines their arms, equipment, anC
supplies; looks over all records
showing expenditures of money
or distribution of property: anC
sends in complete report. point
ing out the good and bad features
OF the organizations In this way
the higher officers are kept in
formed at all times as to the state
of affairs in every section OF the
Army.
The Judge Advocate Generals
department is the legal depart
ment of he Army. Ii prepares
opinions on legal questions fol
the guidance of other officers OF
departments; serves as the rep
resentatlNe of the law in military

ords of the Army. Closely relat-
ed is the office of Provost Mar
shall General, who has charge,
among other things, of enforcing
the sclective service law.
Unless you work your way up
to a commission, it is not likely
that you will come into touch in
any direct way with any of the
four staff departments just
named. Their duties are re-
viewed here simply because it
should be interesting to you to
know how the great Army ma
chine is kept we'll oiled and run
nlng smoothly even in periods OF
great difficulty.
THE ENGINEER CORPS
You will frequently see the
other five staff branches i'm oper-
alton, however, throughout your
! Army life.
The Corps of Engineers are

repair military roads, railroads
and bridges: dig saps and mines
under The encmy's trenches; ano
take care of other work which re-
quires technical skill of this
character.
Theoretically the Engineer
Corps is not one of the fighting
arms: but in practice they are
often called upon to fight and
perform dangerous duties. The,
may build bridges or dig en-
trenchments, for example, under
The enemy fire. In modern war
fare the engineers play a highly
lmportant-and often a heroic
part.
The Signal Corps is the mes
sage bearer of the Army. 1t car

one headquarters to another. II

duct OF a great army as the tele

are the scouting machine, which

goes out to do as much damage

machines. The work is danger
