ARMY TO MAKE
ASSIGNMENTS
OF RESERVES
Is Checking up List Avail
able Officers For
Emergency

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 20
A preliminary classification of the
$1,000 reserve officers is now being
made by the War department in order
that officers especially fitted for spe
cific duties may, in the event Of a ma
tional emergency, be called into SER
vice without delay. This classification
Is being made by the chiefs of corps
and branches Of the war department
so that special qualifications Of these
Officers may be in the hands of the
nine corps area commanders not later
than June Is.
1t is the purpose of the war depart
ment to reduce hereafter TO the mini
mum classification mistakes, many of
which occurred during the war. The
present plan embraces complete re.
cord Of every officer in the organic
ed reserves, so that men especially
fitted, for an assignment may be 10
Gated and called into active duty in
event of national emergency.
Preliminary classification now be-
ing made is not expected to be any
where near perfect. The data in the
possession Of the war department or
a large number Of reserve officers i
very meagre and mistakes in classifi-
cation will undoubtedly develope. IL
Is desirable, however, to secure i'm
mediately as much data as possible
into the hands of corps commane-s
SO that the first unis can be consis-
tentIy organized. One Of the grea.
advantages Of organizing the reserve
forces in time of peace. is that mis-
takes of classification and assignment
can be tested and corrected. whereas
the compilation of these most inn
p6rtant records and assignments are
practically impossible TO obtain in
time of emergency.
Orders recently issued by the war
department directed that corps area
commanders make an immediate
study of their districts, with a view
of locating reserve units according to
the local population. These studies
will be submitted to the war depart
ment not later han June /. 1t is an
ticipated that by the time corps area
commanders will have completed their
studies the classification cards Of re-
serve officers will have reached each
corps area, so that an assignment can
be made Of these officers to their
respective units.
Pending final completion Of the
organized reserves its units will COM
prise only skeletonized organizations
consisting of the full commissioned
officer personnel. so far as tho num-
Der of reserve Officers permit, to-
gether with such non-commissioned
specialists as will enable the complete
organization to expand to full war
strength in the shortest possible time.
