ARMY INSTRUCTORS
NEEDED FOR GUARD
War Department Unable to Fur
nish Required Number of
Commissioned Officers.

Although the numerical strength of
the National Guard has been ma
terially increased by the two incre-
ments allowed by Congress the War
Department has been unable to keep
pace with the growth in the matter
Of furnishing commissioned officers
OF the regular establishment to serve
as instructors. If there is q third
increase activated within short
time the officer shortage for National
Guard instruction use will become
acute, it was indicated.
The National Guard Bureau OF the
War Department pointed out that
three divisional areas are without the
services of Signal Corps instructors
and six lack Quartermaster Corps in
structors. Some newly organized Field
Artillery and Engineer organizations
have not been provided for, and there
are said to be number of other cases
where an increase is necessary.
In preliminary survey it was
found that an increase of approx
mately ITO instructors of the Ma
tional Guard is desirable. With this
increase. it was said, one instructor
could be provided for each infantry,
cavalry, field artillery and coast
artillery regiment stationed at one
place, two for each of those regi-
ments which are moderately scattered
and three for each widely scattered
regiment. An engineer instructor
could be provided for each State hav-
ing engineer units, provision could be
made for division headquarters, bri-
gade headquarters and special troops
and a Signal Corps, Quartermaster
Corps and Medical Corps instructor
could be furnished for each divisional
area. 1t was added the survey did
not anticipate any increase for the
Air Corps militia units.
Requests received for an increase
of three Signal Corps and four field
artillery instructors, it was said. were
not favorably considered by the War
Department due to the shortage Of
Regular Army officers for all activities.
It was asserted that unless q con-
siderable number of additional Reg
ular Army commissioned personnel is
authorized there appears to be little
likelihood of the bureau being able
to secure the necessary number of
instructors for the National Guard.
The appropriation act for the current
fiscal year did provide for moderate
increase of Regular Army officers,
including provision for about 100 off,
GERS for Reserve Officers Training
Corps activities. However, it did not
provide for sufficient officer personnel
to care for the National Guard.
An increase of 10 sergeant inStruc-
tors recently has been authorized. It
was said, however, that this will not
enable the bureau to satisfy the many
requests for additional sergeant in
structorS
