Militia Equipment
Needs Caretakers

With millions of dollars worth OF
field and training equipment oelng
furnished to the militia throughout
the country each year, without
adequate provision of funds to en-
ploy personnel for its proper care,
the National Guard Association OF
the United States has urged that
steps be taken to overcome this
handicap. Much of the equipment
is such that it cannot be given pro-
per care by the personnel on drill
nights. confronted as they are with
the necessity of given practically all
their time to drills and class room
instruction. The work is believed
to require the employment of full
time men.
The association has recommended
that a federal caretaker be assigned
to each ordnance company, to be
paid from federal funds. The belief
was expressed that such caretaker
would be of invaluable assistance
in the maintenance of the various
weapons by the Guard and would
aid in the troop training by main
tanning these articles in servicable
condition at all times. 1t also was
pointed out that the number OF mo-
tor vehicles assigned to the Guard
has increased considerably in the
last few years and in some cases
it is difficult to secure enlisted care
takers with the necessary knowledge
and experience in the repair of
motor vehicles. Therefore, it has
been requested that the National
Guard Bureau arrange for selected
caretakers to attend the Motor
transport school at Holabird Quar-
termaster Depot, Maryland, or some
other quartermaster depot in order
that they may be properly trained
in the repair and upkeep of such
motor vehicles.
In connection with this shortage
of trained personnel, the association
also has called attention to the lack
Of sufficient number of sergeant
instructors from the Regular Army
to be assigned to the guard for
instruction purposes. 1t has recon-
mended that the total number of
sergeant-instructors on duty with
the National Guard be restored to
the total authorized for this duty
prior to the decrease made in 1882.
Since that time the Guard through
out the country has experienced
considerable expansion Manv new
unites have been added, to complete
the tables of organization, under
authority Of several increases in
personnel provided by Congress-
but the ergeant-instructor assign
ments have not shown any increase
sufficient to take care of these units.
which is considered quite serious
from the standpoint of the Guard.
However, it is said that the Regular
Army does not have the men avail
able for this duty.
Increases also have been asked
in the allowance for maintenance of
organizatioral equipment such as
canvas and typewriters. 1t was
pointed out that the allowance now
is 40 cents per enlisted man a year,
but that the ever increasing use of
the articles requires the continuous
employment of labor to preserve
the property, and this is held to
be insufficient. 4
