Roots Army Bill Sets Radical Military System Changes
Secretary Root proposes a sweeping army bill creating a lieutenant general rank, reorganizing staff duties, and dissolving the current staff corps for a system where line officers serve finite staff terms. It beefs up artillery and other branches, adds ranks, reorganizes promotions by seniority, and allows volunteer officers under certain ages to join regular ranks. Also authorizes organizing Philippine natives and a Porto Rican regiment under U.S. command.
