National Army Cantons Be Reorganized Across Regions
The War Department ordered redistribution of national army cantonments to form three guard divisions in Southern states and to assemble an additional division in the Midwest and East. Surplus troops from various camps will be reassigned to create one national army division at Jackson, and training for the southern negro division will occur across all fourteen cantonments. The entire first increment remains mobilized as construction winds down at several camps and dates shift amid changing readiness.
