missioned officers Of the corps are
graduates of the Chemical Warfare
School and ii is understood that n
larger number of officers will be de-
tailed in the future in order to meet
requirements Commissioned officers
when so detailed will attend the line
and staff officers course. while aspir-
ing enlisted men. who show interest
and whose respective applications will
have been approved by the major gen.
eral commandant, will be detailed 10

80 commissioned officers and COS en-
listed men attached TO aviation
throughout the corps. which includes
duty in half dozen foreign countries.
