National Guard Reorganized Under French System
Washington reports a War Department plan to reorganize the national guard under the French model, enlarging regiments and potentially transferring many state militia officers to the national army or losing commissions. Efficiency boards will assess officers for retention and command suitability amid the shift to a two-brigade, two-regiment-per-brigade division structure.
