A reminder that all National Guard
organizat tons must have the typhoid
incubation before going to the annual
encampments has been given by the
commanding general of the 3rd
Corps Area. of which the Washington
District is part.
The letter says that as a result OF
deficiencies found at annual armory
inspections this year, it has come to
the attention of the Army headquar-
tiers that in some instances unit COM
manderS expect to have members OF
their units given anti-typhoid lnocula-
ton and smallpox vaccination at the
Summer training camps or at some time
thereafter.
In view of the requirements Of the
regulations, the letter continues, it is
considered that this action contemplated
by some organizations is not satisfac-
tory. 1t adds that the very COM
mendable and almost complete COM
pliance with the requirements OF the
regulations as TO vaccination on the
part of some National Guard regiments
N this corps area, as shown by the re-
ports of annual armory inspections re-
Gently completed, demonstrates that the
desired results can be accomplished
during the period of armofy training
when properly handled.
In the opinion of the Militia Bureau
and of the corps area headquarters. the
two weeks provided for annual field
training should be devoted TO such
training and the prescribed inocula-
tons and vaccinations should be COM
pleted before leaving the home station
for field training or for active field
service.
The fact that a minimum period Of
two weeks is necessary for the completion
of the vaccination of an individual
would result in delay in movement to
the theater of operations of the 1ndi-
vidual or of an organization whose
members were not properly protected
instead of being prepared to leave home
station, as required by mobilization
plans.
National Guard organization COM
nanders were requested to give neces-
sary instructions to carry out the plan.
