Orders issued by the War Department
last week clothe each chief of branch
and corps area and department COM
mander with authority to recommend
any Reserve officer under his assign
ment Jurisdiction who has not quallfled
for reappointment as prescribed IN
paragraph Is Of Army regulations 140-5
for reappointment with assignment
privileges provided his work in civil life
is similar to that and fits him for the
work he would be called upon to per-
form in the event of war. This VIII
be of extreme interest to number OF
Reserve officers residing in the District /!
of Columbia, who, due to the pressure |
of their civilian pursuits, are unable TO |
attend the inactive inStructlonal as |
SsmblieS of their respective branch or |
the inactive duty camp training during |
the Summer camps. The question was /
I also raised this week whether Re- |
serve officer, say, for instance, who is
assigned to the Infantry branch, and |
under the new War Department re- |
appointment ruling, Though no test |
case has been presented to the War |
it is felt that the new in
StructionS on this subject will be OF no |
avail. Should the Reserve officer in |
question be a military intelligence Re |
serve officer, it is quite certain that his
work in civil life would be viewed by
the authorities in the War Department
as sufficient for him to perform his |
military intelligence duties in time OF
emergency Washington ReServists COM
ing under the above ruling should see
that their papers reach the adjutant
general of the Army at least 80 days
prior to the expiration of their current
appointment period.
