Plans for Field Service in AUGUST
Tentotive Preparations Being
Made for Three Weeks of Comp

listed only q brief time before the
field service Is scheduled to begin, as
there will not be to give them even
the rudiments of military training,

rather frowns on the Guard appear
ing In the field, even for the base
camps, with large numbers of new
men. because the necessity of teach

hampers the major operations.

III the war games should apply at the

time since the close Of the World
War that the local troops have been
taken at such great distance for
training. But is was pointed out that
1t is a part Of the Army's plans to
give more advanced training to all
of the units.
AS a result Of a reorganization
order received from the War De-
partment, all units forming the 12lsr

to make the band a separate unit.
Under prior organization, the band
was known as the band section of
the Headquarters and Service Com
pany.
