Guard Seeks Authority
For Two Drills a Day

Efforts are to be made by Ma
tional Guard officers to have the
Secretary of War and the chief OF
stan Of the Army reconsider their
prohibition against units of the
Militia holding two drills on one
night. The suggestion was made to
the War Department some time ago,
according to Maj. Gen. Milton A.
Reckord, commanding the National
Guard of Maryland and the 29th
National Guard Division, and it was
disapproved
Guard officials point out that the
restriction on one drill a day or
night is seriously hampering the
instruction of the troops because
there is too little time to get in any
real work. AS one artillery officer
pointed out, when the troops are
assembled it takes half an hour or
more to get out the guns, sound
locators and instruments, located,
when, after few minutes use, it is
necessary to put them back. The
drill period is limited to an hour
and a half It was asserted that
much more benefit may be obtained
if they allowed the longer time, say
three or four hours on a night, and
the troops would get some real train
ing. further than taking out the
equipment and putting it back. This
was held to be of little use unless
they get some time in learning how
to use the equipment.
Gen. Reckord pointed out that the
War Department is constantly call
ing on the militiamen for more
training. and he believes that the
Guard officers should be given
enough latitude in trying to carry
this out so that they could arrange
the drills to get the maximum in
struction for the groups. There is
held to be every advantage in having
two drills in one night. Further
more, it was asserted it would save
the time of the men, many of whom
have to come long distances even in
the large cities in order to attend
drills.
1t was held by the Guard officers
that the National Defense Act per-
mits the Secretary of War to au-
thorize two drills per day, and they
express themselves as unable to
understand why that official has
disapproved the recommendation
Originally the matter was turned
down by the chief Of staff. and, Of
course, following usage, the Secre-
tary OF War backed up that official.
There is precedent for 1t in con-
nection with officers, 1t was ex-
planned. Officers, it was pointed out,
may do II hours Of work on corre-
spondence courses at one time and
qualify for a whole months pay in
one session.
