A new policy was inaugurated by

erning the qualification of reserve
officers for detail to active duty upon
the War Department general staff.
In the case of reserve officers, quail
f1cation for general staff active duty
in the War Department included grad
uation from course available to them
at the Command and General Staff
School and recommendation from
such school and from the corps area
commander or chief of arm or service
his ing assignment jurisdiction. Under
the new policy, satisfactory compile
tion. prior to 1888. of a course open
to reserve officers at the Army War
College may be accepted as a quail
f1cation for War Department general
staff detail in lieu of graduation from
the special course at the Command
and General Staff School.
Details to the General Staff Corps
are made only by direction of the
President in orders issued by the
adjutant general naming the officers
concerned. Regular Army, Reserve or
National Guard officers assigned to
general staff positions without such
orders from the adjutant general are
not members of the General Staff
Corps. The General Staff Corps
eligible list is list maintained by the
adjutant general which comprises the
names of officers who have fulfilled
the requirements Of the national de-
fenSe act for inclusion thereon. Re-
serve officers, not included on the
initial General Staff Corps eligible
list in 1920, must, to fulfill the legal
requirements for inclusion thereon,
have active duty upon the War De-
partment general staff for six months
and recommendation at the conclusion
thereof by board composed of the
general officers who are assistant
chiefs of staff.
