New Branch for Navy IAFT Drafted for Coast Defense Jurisdiction
A proposed law would move the coast artillery from the War Department to the Navy, creating a unified coast defense service under the Secretary of the Navy. The plan aims at greater efficiency, with the artillery branch reorganized into a Navy controlled unit closely coordinated with the Marine Corps and Navy Fortifications. The draft, prepared by Army artillery chiefs, faces political testing before President Taft’s approval, and has drawn both support and opposition among stakeholders.
