Corbin seeks end to West Point enlistment bias in officer promotions
Adjutant General Corbin, citing agency reports, urges Congress to repeal or amend laws that restrict promotions from the enlisted ranks to commissioned officers. He notes the 1878 and 1893 acts allowed merit-based officer entry, boosting the command branch with six to 68 new officers from 1898 to 1900, but argues two-year service is insufficient for leadership.
