General urges guard to stay intact and transfer limits need authority
General Heavey said the general staff favored moving the supplies but lacked authority. He noted turning over the equipment would cut costs to 5500000009 dollars, and urged maintaining the National Guard as before U S entry, with 1916 act increases carried out. The value of National Guardsmen to the war effort cannot be overstated.
National Guard Strength and Training Proposals
The National Guard totaled 367000 men and 12123 officers with only 362 discharged for inefficiency. Officials praised performance and noted universal training should link to the Guard. The 1916 act proposed 16 divisions and 400864 men, but wartime conditions prevented full implementation.
