The Regular Army has no more
important mission than the training
Iof the civilian soldiers of our new
letizen army The summer camps
would be almost as futile without
Regular Army officers and enlisted
men as our schools would be with
out teachers and administrators.
The National Defense Act of 1920
divided the Army of the United
States, which it created, into three
components--the Regular Army Ma
tional Guard and Organized Reserv-
es. Under our new defense plan
the Regular Army is to expand in
the event of a national emergency
into at least nine infantry divisions
for the purpose of checking the
enemy with the least possible de-
lay. The National Guard is to mus
ter eighteen divisions for the pur-
pose of reinforcing the Regular
Army and making certain that the
enemy is held at his starting point.
The Organized Reserves are to ex-
pand during hostilities from a mere
skeleton into twenty-seven Infantry
divisions, and more, If need be, for
the purpose of bringing our defense
forces to such strength that the
enemy will seek again the peace he
disturbed.
For Defense System
However, the Regular Army must
not confine it's efforts during peace
to perfecting itself alone. Our whole
defense system would collapse in
that event Regular Army officers
and men must work diligently to
make certain that both the National
will also be able to fulfill their de-
Tense missions in an emergency
Civilians of the high standard de-
manded by our plans, are too busy
to spare much time from their pri-
vate business. In most instances
they do not acquire sufficient tech
nical military knowledge from their
daily occupations u uHueltdhe tuc
formation and perfection of their
own military organizations and train
ing without assistance and guidance.
The peace-time responsibility of the
Regular Army, under the National
Defense Act of 1920, is greater than
it ever has been in our history.
No similar standing army has peace
time responsibility that is even COM
parable with that of our Regular
Army at present. a.
Approximately 4,S00 officers and
SIS 900 enlisted men of the Regular
Army will actually be engaged this
summer in the training Of the Ma
tional Guard, the Organized Reserv-
es. the Reserve Officers Training
Corps and the Citizens Military
Training Camps.

Every summer camp will have its
quota. This means that the Regular
