In the community, cooperation of the
National Guard with the Regular Army,
continued decrease in number of I'M
satisfactory units at annual inspections.
Among the weak points stressed are
Lack of suitable armorieS and riding
halls, split divisions between States,
tendency to use annual field training
periods for things which should be
done at home stations, annual turn
over of personnel, lack of proper physi-
cal examination for recruits, local
political influences in appointment and
retention of inefficient officers, lack of
supervision of units by higher COM
manders due to lack of funds.
However, the bureau says that there
is a general note of optimism running
through all reports, which indicates a
particularly healthful condition of the
National Guard. Weak points are
recognized and are being given close
study. Remedial action is taken where
possible Particular attention is being
given the care and maintenance of
property, and it is expected decided
improvement can be reported this year.
