A general policy has been announced
by the War Department governing the
certification for reappointment under
paragraph 15c, Army Regulations, No.
14O-5. of officers of the Medical Depart
ment Reserve. While 1t is not practi-
cable to prescribe definite policy which
can be followed in each case, there are
certain factors which should be consid-
cred uniformly in all instances. In gen.
eral Medical Department Reserve OFF,
GERS, for the purpose of assignment. may
be grouped into two main classes, the
first consisting of those assigned to
technical units such as hospitals and
laboratories. where their professional
ability is the important consideration;
and the second, of those assigned to or
CARNATIONS of arms and other branches
of the service and to medical regiments,
where, in addition to professional abil-
ity, a knowledge of military require
ments Is essential. Qualifications for
reappointment of those in the first
group should be made in the cases of
those who in civil life are engaged in
the practice of their profession and
whose services in time of emergency
would be utilized along practically the
same professional lines.
In the Qualifications of officers of the
second group the fact that they are en-
gagged in the practice of their profess
sion in civil life is not in itself sufficient
