Inquiries being received by the War
department from reserve officers
throughout the country indicate that
the attachment of reserve officers to
National Guard organizations for
armory and field training is not quite
understood. Reserve officers. especial
ly in New England, have taken advan-
tage of the opportunity to take active
training with National Guard organi-
cations in this part of the country
The attachment Of such reserve Of
ficerS may be terminated upon applica-
ton of either the attached officer, the
commander of the National Guard or
sanitation. the adjutant general OF the
state or the corps area comma nder
In the event that any local reserve
OfflcerS desire TO take this training
they should direct their applications
TO the corps area comma ander. Balti
more, Md. where final action will be
taken by him.
The number of reserve officers who
can he attached to a National Guard
unit. If mutual benefit is to be de-
rived from such attachment is de
pendent upon the state of training Of
the unit concerned. For the present.
in no case should the number Of
reserve officers so attached exceed the
actual officer strength of the National
Guard organization. Not to exceed
one captain should he attached to a
company or similar unit Subaltern
officers may be grouped. i. e, Ma
tional Guard unit whose officer
strength includes one captain. one
first lieutenant and one second lieu
tenant. might have attached to 1t one
captain and two subalternS or three
subalterns. In the field grades. the
number OF National Guard officers
grade for grade. should not be ex.
ceeded.
Through practice Of the functions
OF command with State troops by re-
serve officers not holding commissions
in such State orga MIA tions, it is
pointed out. spirit Of co-opera ton
and training among the components
Of the Army of the nited States will
he developed. The hope has been ex
pressed in the War Department that
reserve officers in the Middle West
and West will take advantage OF this
training with National Guard organi-
zations in their immediate vicinity.
