The Military Bill Expanded Army in Wartime Plan
The administration military bill sent to Congress endorses a policy by the general staff for permanent emergency protection. It calls for an army of 510000 at peace, expanding to 1250000 in war, with universal training. It would train youths for three months in camps to provide a foundation for rapid mobilization, estimating 800000 men trained annually under the plan. Formerly it was an accepted theory.

War experiences overturn talk of long soldier training
The late war showed that a year of training was unnecessary as soldiers with only months of training performed capably. Camp training proved beneficial to young men, reducing opposition to universal military service. The War Department bill offers a solid framework for a durable national policy.

It also notes political tensions and labor issues tied to the era.
