Captain Hoyt reports in his War Department inspection of the Vermont National Guard at Bennington last August that several companies are fairly well drilled with enthusiasm while others lack practice drills. Armories are deficient and the force is small. the state could concentrate military power within 24 hours. Officers show capacity but need experience. many enlisted are young miners and some appear physically disqualified. Light battery drill is excellent. Hoyt notes Vermont’s wartime representation was one-tenth of population versus one in 500 now receiving instruction.
