Maj Gen J Franklin Bell declares in the MLS annual report that the army’s greatest need is an adequate remedy for the evils of detached officer service.

He cites desertions, inexperience among young commanders, and calls for legislation to fix the system. The report also laments insufficient regular troops for rapid warfare readiness and notes regiments abroad reduce US time at home.
