No Present Necessity For Increasing the Army Fortifications
The secretary of war reports the 1894 army strength at 2,135 officers and 25,765 enlisted men. Reorganization boosts effective force near two regiments, reducing depots and costs by about 250000 annually. Coastal defense policy may justify raising active strength to the legal 25000, using economies from reforms, including three battalion regiments, while expanding coast artillery and fortifications.
