7. The men from Georgia acquitted themselves in. a roo t creditable manner, as evidenced from the official. reports from the War Department, and Georgia hould be proud of her record in this war.
. The Legislature should provide this Department with funds to continue the work of procuring, checking, classifying, cardindexing, and filing the individual record of service of each and every m~n who erved in the 'World .War from thi . tate, and I tru t that you will so recommend, in view of the great hi torical value of r;;uch records in the future.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

11. The war being over, the reorganization of the National

Guard and the disbandment of the State Guard became matter.

of great importance to be considered. Some of the State Guard

companie asked to be relieved from further duty, as the period

of the emergency for which they had been organized wa over,

and were so relieved, but, on account of conditions then existing,

and there being no ational Guard troops to take their place :

thi Department could not comply with all of their requests, and

explained to them that the National Guard units would be organ-

ized a rapidly a po ible, arid that a oon a' a ufficient num-

ber had been organized and equipped that the State troops would

be mustered out.

OTE: ubsequent to the period cove?'ed by this ?'eport, or-

ders [01' their disbandment have bee'n issued by this Department.

12. At the time of my return, 'March 1, 1919, a majority of the

National Guard unit from thi tate were till in the Federal

ervice either in France or in various part of the United tate.

During the period of their Federal ervice their organizations

were broken up, orne changed to other branches or arms of the

ervice and the officer and enlisted men cattered as replace-

ment into various other division and organizations of the army.

13. The following table will how the original National Guard

organizations, consi ting of approximately 6,074 men, drafted

into the ervice of the United States on August 5, 1917, under

ection 111, National Defen e Act, approved June 3 1916, and

the llb equent change made thereafter by the Federal authori-

14. The 'Val' Department's interpretation of Section 111, National Defense Act, that drafting the National Guard into the service of the United States meant that the troops of the National Guard so drafted could not return, when released from Federal ervice, to the ervice of the tate, had the effect of abolishing the National Guard and destroying all of the prewar units; thu stripping the tate of the only organized, di ciplined, and efficient force for dome tic protection to replace the tate Guard companies organized within the State to serve during the period of the war, leavm.g it incumbent upon the
tate to reorganize an entirely new Jational Guard force before the Home Guard Companie could be disbanded.
15. Owing to the fact that the Federal Government had not decided upon a fixed military policy, and the Federal Congre s wa discu sing various military laws, ome of which embodied compulsory military training, the adoption of which would completely change all existing laws and regulations, probably accounts for the attitude of the War Department towards the reorganization of the National Guard, and their refusal of the request made by this State to reorganize the ational Guard, and their subsequent conflicting provi ions and regulations relative thereto, after they did grant the permission to proceed with the reorganization. (See Appendix A for official correspondence upon this subject.)
16. There al 0, unfortunately, existed at thIS time a mo t determined feeling ao-ainst rejoining the ational Guard on the
9

part of the officer and men ,Yho erved in the war, the rea on' for which, having b en 0 generally di cu d and published in th pre " are of comlllon knowledg , and may be attributed to the unpopularity of th Federal law and the regulation promulO'ated thereunder by the Vial' Department.
17. It became evident that mat rial change in the l' ederal La,, weI' nece ary to mak th future of the Xational Guard a certainty. Th National Guard A sociation of the Unitell > tate an 1 the Adjutant General A ociation of the nited 'tate were called in convention at ~t. Loui , ~Io., in Uay, 1919, and thereafter in conference held, fir t at ~ew York in eptemb 1', 1919 \Va hington in January and April, 1920, and 'hicago in June 1920, ,,-here re olution. of the greate t importance affecting the ~ational Guard ""ere adopted and ince incorporated into legi lation by Congre . . Th Adjutant General. of thi 'tate attend d the conv ntion and all of the conference by your authority and wa appointed a memb I' of the Reorganization ommitte of the Tational Guard A ociation, and al 0 one of it.. Vice Pre idents, and rcndered every a i tance posible to draft acc ptable legi lation in relation to the ~ational Guard. The tate of Georgia al '0 contributed, by your authority, out of th military fund, it proportionate shar of the
, expen e of the Reorganization 'omlllittee to ecure the enact-
ment of the propo ed amendment to the Federal law_
1. nder the provi. ions of the Xational Defen e Act as amended. the Government a wne' the exp n e of payinO' arming, equipping, and training the Xational Guard, leaving to the tates their right, under th :Militia Clause of the Con-titution, to . elect their own officer and to det rmine and fu the location of the unit and headquarter of the ~ 'ational Guard within th ir re pective border. Upon the tate devolve the expen e of officering recruiting providing and maintaining uitable armories, . tOl'age and tabling facilitie for the equipmrnt and animals furni hed, and for general overhead upk ep expen .. of the re pc -tive headquarter and organization..
19. Th member. of th ~ational Guard need encouragement by the tate. Their uece ab'olutely depend' upon an adequate appropriation beinO' made by the L gi lature for their support. When on ideration i given to the tru value of the
]0

Xational Guard to the 'tate thi i. very little to a k in l' turll for the great uuselfi h aCl'IDce made by the individuals compo ing thi volunteer force for the pre ervation of law and order.
20. Generally. peaking, our fellow citizen fail to adequately app'l'eciatc the importance of the National Guard, not only to the Governm at but to the tate, and accord it commen urate support. I therefore tru t that you "'ill urge upon our Legi lature and citizen the nece.. ity of their full upport to the Xational Guard. .pecially the employer, upon who e attitude the ucceo of the Xational Guard largely d pend.
21. nder the lao t regulation rec ived from the 'Val' D.epartment lett I' dated December 16 1920, the follo\yiug allotment of ::\ati nal Guard troop, ba. ed on a ratio of a minimum of 00 men per enator and Repre entative in ongre, for organization in thi tate ha been made the unit to be di tributed in annual in l'ement over a five year period beginning July 1st, 1919:

ORGANIZATION.
23. otwithstanding the obstacles encountered, the " Dubliu Guard" wa converted into a National Guard Rifle Company and received Federal recognition with a minimum enlisted trength of 100 men August 2 ,1919. The" Elizabeth Rifle," Atlanta, Ga. were also imilarly transferred into a rational Guard Rifle Company and received Federal recognition a such with a minimum enli ted strength of 100 men on January 20, 1920. Since that tim the following companies have been organ ized and have received Federal recognition in the order named;
Co. "E,' 1 t Inf., "The Macon Hus ar ," :Macon, Ga. Troop" A,' 1st Sqd. Cav., "The Georgia Huss'ars," Savannah, Ga. Troop "B," 1 t qd. Cav., 'Liberty Independent Troop," Hinesville Ga. Co. "F," 1st Inf., '''Ibe Jackson Rifles," Jack on, Ga. Machine Gun Co., 1 t Inf., Macon, Ga.
o. 'I," 1st Inf., "The Brun wick Riflemen," Brunswick, Ga. Co. "G," 1st Inf., "The Floyd Rifles," Macon, Ga.
o. "B," 1st Sep. Bn. Inf. " risp County Volunteer," Cordele, Ga. Co. "H,' 1st Inf., "The Macon Volunteer ," Macon, Ga. Btry. "A," 1st F. A., "Chatham Artillery," avannab, Ga.
24. The organization of the units, allotted for immediat organization during the pre ent fiscal year, is progressing in a mo t ati factory manner, and the e units are now being extended Federal recognition at a minimum strength of 50 meu each for recognition until June 30, 1921, and for maintenance thereafter at a minimum trength of 65 men. The former ruling of the War Department requiring a minimum strength per Rifle Company of 100 men wa generally regarded throughout the country a exces ive, and proved to be impracticable and im po. ible.
TROOPS IN AID OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES.
25. During the period covered by thi report, the following call have been made for troop in aid of the civil authoritie
Latwens County.
In re ponse to an appeal received from the Acting Mayor of Dublin, Ga., Wm. 1\f. Br edlove, Your Excellency, deeming the appr hen ion well fotmded, directed thi Department to take

Adjutant General held several telephone conversations with General Mel-

drim's Adjutant, Captain E. G. Thomson, Savannah, Ga., arranging details

for transporting troops from Sava.nnah to scene of alleged trouble in case

of a call.

4. Your Excellency's attention is called to the fact, as shown above, that

no word was ever received from the Sheriff of this county direct; that Judge

Lovett acted upon statements made to him, which he subsequently pro-

nounced as not well founded; that the State Law, Section 80, was appar-

ently technically violated in our endeavor to prevent mob violence and to

afford protection to the alleged slayer prior to his capture and to the actual

commission of any overt act of disorder or violence; that the alleged disor-

der or violence was never located by the Sheriff or any other civil officer

and no information of any definite character was ever received upon which

the' Governor could base the issuance of a Proclamation; that when the

negro was apprehended in an adjacent county the troops responded will-

ingly and with unusual promptness to the Governor's calI; that everything

humanly possible was done, and every advance precaution taken to a.vert

trouble.

See Appendix B .for detailed reports of the respective com manding officers of troops called out on this occasion.

TARGET RANGES AND RIFLE PRACTICE.
28. The following rifle ranges have been personally inspected by the Adjutant General, and the following report submitted as to conditions existing thereon:
Atlanta Rifle Range. During the World War the Federal authorities constructed on the Atlanta Rifle Range property two large barracks buildings, and one Officers quarters, used in conjunction with the German War Prison Camp adjacent thereto. After the armistice, when the prison camp was abandoned, the~ buildings together with others, were ordered demolished for salvage' purposes. In view of their value to the National Guard of thi State, for use as quarters for Officers and men during State rifle camps of instruction, and State rifle competitions, request was made of the Government to allow the buildings and improvements to remain intact as part of the rifle range property, and after an extended correspondence the matter was finally settled and the buildings, together with improvements, were turned over to the custody of the State.
20

The e buildings, together with the improvements, make a valuable addition to th eAtlanta Range, which has been in constant use by troop stationed at Fort McPherson and Camp Gordon;
ational Guard organizations, Home Guard organizations, Schools and Colleges, and Civilian rifle clubs. The range is in need of a few minor repairs and only ,a nominal upkeep expense is necessary to maintain it in first class condition.
The Macon Rifle Range. The Holton Range, near Macon, Ga., which originally consi ted of fifty target, was found to be in a fair condition, considering the fact that it has remained vacant since the troops were called into the Federal service for Mexican Border duty before the World War. General repairs and new equipment are nece sary throughout to place this range in good condition. A nominal upkeep expense will be necessary to maintain it for use of the troops stationed at Macon, Ga.
The Savannah Rifle Range. The Savannah Range, Rose Dhu, which originally consisted of thirty-five targets, has been in constant use by Home Guard units, Civilia nrifle clubs, and Schools located in Chatham County, and is in a fair condition only. It is badly in need of general repairs. ew parapet construction is nece ary; new torage houses for equipment and a new telephone ignal y tern are necessary to place the range in a fir 1clas condition for use of the National Guard units located at Savannah.
The Augusta Rifle Range. The Augusta Rifle Range, which originally consisted of twenty-one targets, was more or less demolished by vandals during the World War. The vandals who wrought its destruction were the Government's troops (28th Division) and therefore a claim for damages of $3,399.00 wa. submitted to the Government, with the re ult that this Department has been notified by the Militia Bureau (22nd indorsement dated November 30, 1920) that the Quarterma tel' General has allotted $2,500.00 from appropriation "Shooting Galleries and Ranges, 1921 ", for the repair of the range.
For details concerning rifle practice and competitions held during the period covered by this report see Appendix E for detailed report on target practice by Major W. T. Spratt, Ordnance Department, Georgia ational Guard.
21

FLAGS. 29. The following Colors and Standards of the organizations created during the World War, in which a majority of the personnel consisted of Georgia men, have been returned to the custody of the State by the War Department, and it is incumbent upon the State to provide suitable air-tight cases for their safe keeping, pre ervation, and display in the rotunda of the Capitol building:

FINANCIAL STATEMENT FEDERAL FUNDS
FROM :lARCH 1, 1919, TO DECEMBER 31, 1920.
Having been appointed United States hoperty and Disbursing Officer for the State of Georgia under provisions of Act of Congress approved June 3, 1916, by Special Order o. 163, paragraph 1, August 16, 1916, . G. 0., Ga., and having been relieved of the duties of Acting Adjutant General by the reappoint~ent of General ash as The Adjutant General on March 1, 1919, submit the following report covering period March 1, 1919, to December 31, 1920:
(a) The shortage exi ting in the State's property account with the Federal Government, approximately $30,000.00,' covering a period of years, po sibly as far back a 189 ,ha been settled in full in the following manner:
After the troops were drafted into the Federal service, August 5, 1917, and after Federal property transferred back to the War Department, a final audit was made of the property accolmts, and articles amounting to approximately $10,000.00 were found and credited on the Governor's property account. During 1919 affidavits were secured and urvey proceedings filed for the remainder of thi hortage, amounting to about $20,000.00, which survey preceeding were approved by the Secretary of War, with the exception of certain article of the amount of $745.33, which was paid by the Adjutant General of the tate to balance the account with the Federal Government. The re ult thus obtained clears up all back shortages in property between the State of Georgia and the United States.
(b) During the year the Federal Government exchanged with the tate of Georgia the following equipment, for a similar amount of Russian Rifle and equipment previously issued to the State for use by State Guard organizations, under Special Regulations o. 37, 1917:
2,440 Rifles (Springfield), Cal. 30, 1\1. 1903. 2,440 Bayonets. 2,440 Bayonet Scabbards. 2,440 Gunslings. 2,440 Oiler and Thong Cases. 2,440 Brushes and Thongs. 2,440 Front Sight Covers.

With but few exceptions, all of the Russian Rifle and appendages have been returned to the Augusta Arsenal, Augusta, Ga. All ational Guard and State Guard organizations are now equipped with the U. S. Springfield Rifle Cal. 30, 1. 1903, with appendage..
(c) On January 25, 1920, the under igned went to Savannah, Ga., and dismantled all Federal property installed on the two Dummy Forts located in the Park extension' packed and shipped this equipment on February 11, 1920 to various arsenals and depots in the United State, with the exception of the buildings and the Dummy Gun and Dummy Mortar, which were transferred to the Commanding Officer of the Coast Defenses of Savannah, under orders of the War Department, thus relieving the State of re pon ibility and the large expense for their upkeep.
(d) During the World War the Federal Government constructed one officers quarter and two barrack buildings on the Atlanta Rifle Range, adjacent to Fort McPher on, Ga., as a part of the German War Pri on Barrack , and equipped them with all modern convenience at an approximate cost of $28,000.00. Upon the abandonment of the War Prison Camp this Department requested the War Department to turn over these buildings intact to the State of Georgia for use of its National Guard for rifle practice, camp of instruction, and other purpo e. 'l'his transfer wa finally completed May 5, 1920.
(e) On May 17, 1920 in compliance with Ga. G. 0., No.2, ] 920, one staff officer, :five company officer , and thirty-one enlisted men from the ational Guard of this tate attended a four day camp of instruction at Camp Jack on, . C., and were furnished transportation, subsistence and pay during this tour of duty at Government expense.
(f) On June 10-24, 1920, in copliance with Ga. G. O. o. 3, 1920, four staff officers and the officers and enlisted men comprising the two companie of National Guard of thi State attended a fifteen days camp of instruction on the Atlanta Rifle

ADMINISTRATION.
30. The responsibilities and duties of this Department have teadily increased, owing to the necessity of creating an entirely new National Guard force for domestic protection, and the extra work and expense incident thereto. Also to securing, clas ifying, indexing, and recording the service records of the Georgia men who served in the World War.
The Adjutant General and other officers on duty in thi Department have been required to make frequent and repeated trips throughout the State to further interest in, and to accomplish the reorganization of the National Guard units allotted to the State by the War Department, creating inspecting, supplying, equipping, and mustering the units so organized.

CONCLUSION.
31. In conclusion, I wish to express to Your Excellency, to the Regular Army Officers detailed for duty in this State, and to all of the officers and enlisted men of the National Guard, my deep appreciation for the interest and cooperation shown and the courteous consideration given me in the discharge of my duties at all times.
Respectfully, J. VAN HOLT NASH, The Adjutant General.

1. nder date of January 15th the following in tructions were received from the Secretary of War:
The future military policy of the War Department has not been announced. This' policy will involve questions affecting the ational Guard organization.

ubject: Information Relative to ational Guard.

1. Referring to your communication of March 7, 1919, in which you a k for certain information relative to the National Guard, I beg to reply to yom inquiries a follows:

33

(a) 0 new legi lation has been enacted by the ixty-fifth Congress relating to the ational Guard.
(b) No amendments have been made to the National Defen e Act (Act of June 3, 1916.)
(c) The ational Defen e Act i now in force and effect, being both a peace and a war measure. Some of its provision have been affected by legi lation for the exi ting emergency.
This Bureau recommended that ection 62 of the Act be 0 amended as to provide that it would be fulfilled if the fir t strength of the National Guard required of each State (two hundred for each Representative in Congre s) be attained one year after the propo ed amendment was effective, and the other increments provided therein be attained by successive year thereafter. Thi amendment failed of passage due to the failure' of the Army Appropriation Bill. At the same time appropriations for the upport of the ational Guard failed of passage, con equently there i only a limited amount of funds available for the maintenance of the Jational Guarl! until June 30, 1919.
(d) The policy outlined in Circular Letter o. 3, Militia Bureau. March 27, 191 is held in abeyance pending further instruction of the ecretary of War in regard to the organization of new units. Circular Letter No. 23, August 15, 1918, is only effective in so far a organizations and officers that have been specifically authorized and recognized a National Guard by the War Department are concerned.
2. Under in truction from the ecretary of War the Militia Bureau i not extending authorization for new ational Guard unit at the pre ent time for which, a has been pointed out above, there are only a limited amount of funds available for arms and equipment.

1. Referring to previou corre pondence relative to the 01'-

34

ganization of the ~atiol1al Guard within your tate, I am in. trncted by the cretary of War to advi e you a follow :
2. In order to provide a limited number of units of National Guard available for the maintenance of law and order within th ..everal tate, the Militia Bureau will con ider the authorization of unit of ational Guard as far a limited fund permit, provided, however that the nece ity is shown for 1\ational Guard for this particular purpo e by the State authoritie and cog nt rea on are advanced for the completion of their organization prior to June 30, 1919.
3. It hould be clearly under tood that the War Department doe not call for the organization of the ational Guard at the pre ent time but leave' the initiation of it organization with the tate authorities a it i not de ired to anticipate the action of Congress in the formulation of the National military policy, nor i it believed to be desirable to undertake the general reorganization of the ational Guard prior to the demobilization of the former National Guard unit from the United tates Army.
4. Due to the failure of the Army Appripriation Bill to be com a law the number of troops that can be equipped is trictly limited and available funds will be used a far a po ible for equipment only, and for units which are clearly required to preserve order, and enforce the law .
5. When specifiically altth01-ized by th War Department units except coa t artillery, will be organized under Table of Organization approved May 3, 1917, and coa t artillery unit under Circular 29, filitia Bureau, 1916. For the present the lettered compatnies (including cavalry troops and coast artillery companie ) will be pl'esented for recognition and maintained as National Guard at the enlisted t1'ength of sixty-five. . The Headquarters, lachine-gun and upply ompanies will be maintained at the minimum trength authorized by Table of Organization May 3, 1917.
6. Available fund will be used to furni h nece ary equipment to the tate' in th order in which their National Guard unit are recognized by the War Department, and at the strength pecifiied in paragraph 5 of thi communication. Th equipment of tho e recognized after uch funds have been exhausted will
35

be II ce arily deferred until Congre shall hav made provi ion for further equipment.
7. You are reque ted to immediately inform the Militia Bureau whether the tate of Georgia desire to organize ational Guard unit , giving your rea on for the urgency of their organization prior to June 30, 1919. In view of the fact that exi ting appropriation lap e on June 30, 1919, unless obligated by that date, prompt action in the que tion i nece ary.

ircular Letter No. 44.

From: The Chief, Militia Bureau.

To:

Th Adjutant General of all tate, Territorie and

the Di trict of Columbia 'filitia.

Subject: Organization of New nit and Procedure Governing the Extending of Federal Recognition Thereto.

The following advanc paragraph of ational Guard regulations now in the hand of the printer and soon to be pubIi hed, are furni hed for th information and guidance of all concerned:
Article IV (E). Organization of new unit and procedure go\-erning the extending of federal recognition thereto.
]45. The National Guard consists of the regularly enli ted militia between the age of 1 and 45 year , and of commissioned officers between the a e of 21 and 64 years, organized, armed and equipped a provided for in these regulation, and recognized by the War Department as' rational Guard under the provi ions of the act of ongre s of June 3, 1916.
146. The act of June 3, 1916, is designated to give Federal aid and assi tance and a certain amount of supervi ion from the Federal Government, in the organization and training of National Guard troop in the varioUS"
tates, with a view of providing them with a uitable military fOl'ce for emergency use. The Federal Government retains the right to call the National Guard into Federal ervice when nece ary, and to pre cribe the particular unit or units which when combined "\\ill further the forma.tion of higher tactical units.
147. tate h'oops, by whatever name designated, and officers of such force , as well a officers of the Organized Militia ex:i ting prior to the act of June 3, 1916, are not a part of the Kational Guard a coutemplated by that act, unle they have pecifically qualified for and ha\'e recei\'ed recognition a Kational Guard by the War Departtnellt.
46

14 . Federal recognition i defined as the acceptance by the Federal Government as National Guard, of officers or a body of enrolled officclrs and men who have complied with the provi ions of the act of June 3, 1916, and who are entitled to the benefits of the act.
149. Certain conditions set forth hereafter are requi ite for Federal recognition. The ational Guard plan does not extend to or embrace the organization of new units, with no armories, no grouping of personnel according to localities, and no probable permanency of existence, but coutemplate the development of a force, equipped and trained as far as possible in time of peace, which can be called upon for ervice in time of emergency.
150. Recognition of National Guard units will be extended by the Militia. Bureau upon the following conditions:
(a) The organization hall be specifically authorized by the Militia BII-
reau. (b) Snitable armorie and torage facilitie hall be provided by the
State or Territory. Thi extends" to and includes stable facilities for mOllllted troops and ali factory housing for vehicle and armament _
(c) There hall be proper localization of unit, with the personnel drawn from the immediate vicinity_
(d) '!bere shall be a rea onable probability that the organization can be maintained for a period of years, and kept alin~ by re-enlisbnents- and the acquisition of recruits.
(e) There hall be a reasonable certainty of the necessary number of a emblies for drill and training prescribed by the War Department.
(f) All unit hall be organized undel' approved tables' of organization, unle general exception are autllOrized by the ecretary of War in time of peace.
(g-) Units shall be recruited to the streugth pre cribed by the l\Iilitia Bureau a nece sary for Federal recognition.
'So new unit will be in pected for recognition uul organized pur nant to anthorization from the ,l\I'ilitia Bureau of the War Department.
131. Men hould not be recruited for the ,C:rational Guard and reqllired to ign the Federal enli tment contract under ection 70 of the act of Congre s, approved June 3, 1916, prior to the authorization by the Militia Bureau of the particular organization to ,,,hich the e men will be eventually a signed.
152. The Fedel'al enlistment conb'act i not completed until Federal recognition ha been xtcnded by the 'War Department. Prior to the receipt of Federal recognition a National Guard, an organization or an individual belonging thereto ha' the statu of State forces not yet a part of the National Guard.
153. (a) After units ha'-e been alJotted to a tate, Territory, or the Di trict of Colnmbia, the adjutant general of the State, Terriory, or the District of Columbia, the adjutant general of the tate, Territory, or the District of Columbia concerned will ad,-ise the hief of the Militia Bureau by letter of the units it is desired to organize, describing them accurately.
(b) When authority ha been e...'\.i:ended in accordance with the prod ions
41

of ection i4, act of .J une 3, 1916, and within the age limit for the everal rades a prescribed in paragraph 232 of the e regulation.
(c) The adjutant general of the tate, Territory, or the Di trict of 0lumbia will then cau e the organization to be inspected by an officer of the. tate, Territory, or Di trict of Columbia to determine whether 01' not the condition contemplated by law for .F ed ral recognition can be met by the new organization (par. 150, supIa).
(n) An in pection by a Regular Army officer i required prior to j<'ed eral recognition. When a tate i ready to ha\'e an organization in pecte<l l'l'port will be made to the Militia Bureau and the department commander will be directed by the War Department to cause the ~n pection to be made. The inspector will \'erify the membel' from the enli tm nt paper' (Form 2tl, A. G. 0.), check the proportion of oneyear and three-year enli tment , and ee that all the men ha\'e been properly examined phy ically (Form l3:i-1, A. G. 0.), and properly enlisted, and that their general appearance is satisfactory. He will make such inquiry and examination of the officers as will enable him to report upon their qualification and uita,hility for the grade in which they have been commissioned, and will repurt hi concluion on each officer under head of I I Remarks' on Form 113, M. B. ITe will base his recommendation as to recognition upon compliance by the organization with the conditions et forth above. hould the result of hi inspection ju tify Federal recognition, the insp ctor will, upon its couclusion, administer the dual oath, unle s there is conclusi\'e proof that the enlistment oath ha been administered by a ~ ational ,uarl! officer who ha been extended Federal recognition by the Militia Bureau. pon completion of the inspection he will mail his report (Form ]l3, :\L B.) with a complete roster of the company troop, battery 01' detachment (Form 104, with Form 92, M. B., for officers of the Medical Department, and :E orID 10 , M. B., for all other officers) and bis recommendations to th D parllllent commander for transmis ion to the ,Militia Bureal!. On Form No. 113, M. B., under the heading "Remarks," information oncerning the admini tration of the dual oath should be set fOIth fully. 111e name or nam of the National Guard officer or officer' administering the oaths "ill be tated.
(e) The Militia Bureau will careflllly examin uch report and r 'ommendations as are made by the Inspector, and if the organization compl~e with the requirements of law, th Secl"'tary of War will send through the Militia Bureau, a notification to the tate and to the del artment headquarters that the organization in pected ha been recognized as Xational Guard.
(f) Before receiving final Federal r ognition officer will be I:equired to pa such portion of the examination prescribed by the :\Iilitia Bureau a may be deemed expedient, which portion will in general include an inquiry iuto the candidate's antecedent, moral and character, educational opportunities and qualification, bu ine and profe sional experience, conduct, efficiency and soldierly habit while a member of the Regular, Militia or Yolunte l' force, and his' probable efficiency and aptitude for the servic. The
4

elementary and professional examinations will be completed when practi-
cable. 154. The most common error noted at Federal inspections for recogni-
tion are the following: (a) presentation of a company not properly organized, ometime lacking required officers, noncommi sioned officerS', "tC.; (b) naming of officers not qualified by law (ee ection 74, act of June 3, 1916); (e) the enlistment of boys under eighteen years of age; (d) samd as to men over forty-fh'e (except re-enlistment); (e) lack of record of physical competence of personnel; (f) men having dependents who are not shown to have signed waiver of dependency in ease of call or draft into Federal service. (g) failure to complete Form 10 , :M. B., for each officer, except officer of :Medical Department. In ease of latter, Form 92, M. B., is required.
155. Requisition for supplie for new organizations cannot be honored until the organization has first been authorized, ins'Pected, and recognized by the War Department as National Guard.
156. Recognition may be extended to units a small a a company. 157. Headquarters, machine-gun and supply companies or troops will not ordinarily be organized unless a complete regiment hw been authorized by the Militia Bureau. 158. Field officers and corresponding staff officers will not ordinarily be recognized as such until all the component parts of the commands to which they pertain are inspected and accepted; State staff officers will be recognized as needed, provided at least one National Guard unit has been recognized in the State. 159. There is, however, no objection to an officer, who can not be recognized immediately, pre enting himself to an inspector at any time with the understanding that formal recognition will be deferred until his corresponding unit ha qualliied and has been accepted. 160. In applying for authority to organize new units of National Guard, and for sub equent in pection for Federal recognition, such action will be expressly under tood by the War Department as being in trict compliance with the foregoing policy, and the adjutants general of all States, Territories and the Di trict of Columbia will be go\'erned accordingly.

My dear General: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your telegram of August
21st relative to the minimum strength required for ational

Guard companies, and desire to state that reply thereto has been delayed pending a complete investigation of this subject.

An opinion has just been received from the Judge Advocate

General of the Army as to the authority of the Secretary of War under existing law with reference to the reduction in strength of National Guard companies. The result of this in-

vestigation, together with this opinion will be communicated in a few days by the Militia Bureau to the Governors and Adjutants General of all States, and to members of the Senate ancl House military committees.
Very truly yours,

NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War.

CIRCULAR LETTER o. 49. From: The Chief, Militia Bureau.

September 6, 1919.

To:

The Adjutants General of all States, the Territory

of Hawaii and the District of Columbia Militia.

Subject: Minimum Strength of National Guard Companies.

1. In response to the appeal contained in a number of telegrams from the State authorities of various States, the Secretary of War has had investigated the authority of law for fixing the minimum strength of National Guard companies and a copy of the opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Army on this question is inclosed for your information.
2. From this opinion, it appears that the Secretary of War is, at this time, without authority to permit the organization and

50

recognition of ational Guard units of less than the strength prescribed for like units of the Regular Army.
3. Furthermore, it appears that even in time of peace, any regulations promulgated by the ecretary of War permitting
ational Guard companie to be organized and recognized at a reduced strength, would neces arily have to be general in their application, and apply to companies organized in large a well as small or sparsely settled communitie . As mo t of the ational Guard units will be needed, and be organized in communitie large enough to maintain companies of at least 100 men, and e pecially on account of the requirements of collective training which can only be realized with a company with a trength of at lea t 100 men, it is not deemed advi able to make any general reduction in the strength of all ational Guard units, even after the termination of the present war period.
4. In those communities which are too small to maintain a company of 100 men, and where the state authorities deem it essential that National Guard troop be located, the detached platoon y tem authorized for lettered infantry, engineer, and coast artillery companies, and for lettered cavalry troops, will undoubtedly meet the situation. The conditions required for armory drill pay will apply to each platoon separately as if each platoon were a eparate company.
5. The experience during the great war ha proven that infantry companie to be effective must be larger than was formerly considered nece sary. onsequently, a company of 65 would receive, in time of emergency, such a large influx of untrained men in order to bring it up to effective trength that it would be of very little value without further training. Furthermore, the great war ha demonstrated that the platoon i the combatant unit and that the basis of all combat trainino- is the training of the platoon. It is therefore e ential to provide sufficient men in each platoon to permit training of the platoon as a unit, either alone or in the company. The company of 65 men will not provide sufficient men in each platoon to permit this very essential collective training.
6. The War Department is interested only in forming an efficient ational Guard for State and Federal u e in an emergency. If the companie are organized on the basi of 65
51

men, it would undoubtedly be a step backward 0 far a the efficiency of the ational Guard as a whole is concerned. It i believed the detached platoon system authorized by the War Department meet the objection made to the larger strength company not only without any loss in efficiency, but in fact with a gain in efficiency in that it provide an opportunity for the platoon leader with detached platoon to obtain by experience those qualities of initiative and I adership so e sential today for our platoon commander. If this neces itate some minor difficulties a to the plitting of appropriations between two towns, and the renting of additional armorie in the smaller communitie, uch difficultie should not be permitted to tand in the way of the organization of the larger company, with its re ulting advantages of collective training impo ible with a company of only 65 men.
7. We now have federally recognized Jational Guard units in various State in which the companies have a trength of 100 and over. Other State which have inaugurated a vigorou recruiting campaign are apparently meeting with ucce in the reorganization of the National Guard, a evidenced from the following report ju t received:
"In some unit, the required minimum trength has already been enlisted and the progres reported by the remaining units is so pronounced a to warrant confidence in e'-entual and early succe in all cases."
8. It is believed that if the variou tate authoritie re ponible for the reorganization of the National Guard will cooperate with the Militia Bureau and devote their energie to a vigorous recruiting campaign in an effort to comply with the ruling of the War Department, that little difficulty will be encountered, and the I ational Guard will soon be re-established on a stable basis.

Major General, G. S., The U. S. Army.

OP:CJIO OF THE J DGE ADVOCATE GE ERAL RELA-
TIVE TO THE A THORIZA'l'IO OF A REDUCTIO.r
IN THE TRENGTH OF LETTERED INFANTRY
COMPANY, ATIO AL G ARD.
ection 60 and 68 of the National Defen e Act are as follow~ :
ec. 60. Organization of National Guard Unit .-Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the organization of the National Guard, including the composition of all units thereof, shall be the same as that which is or may hereafter be prescribed for the Regular Army, ubject in time of peace to such general exceptions as may be authorized by the Secretary of War. And the President may prescribe the particular unit or units, as to branch or arm of service, to be maintained in each State, Territory, or the District of Columbia in order to secure a force which, when combined, shall form complete higher tactical units. (39 Stat., 166, 197.)
ee. 6 . Location of Units.-The tates and Territories shall have the right to determine and fix the location of the units and headquarters of the
ational Guard within their respecti~e border ; Provided, 'l'bat no organiza tion of the National Guard, members of which shall be entitled to and shall ha\'e recei~ed compensation under the provi ions of thi Act, shall be disbanded without the con ent of the President, nor, without such consent, shall the commissioned or enlisted trength of any uch organization be reduced below the minimum that shall be prescribed therefor by the President. (39 tat. 200).
From Section 60 it i clear that ordinarily the compo ition of all unit of the National Guard hall be the same as that which i , or may hereafter be, pre cribed for the Regular Army. 'l'he one exception to this rule i contained in the clause which provide that this provi ion i " ubject in time of peace to uch general exception a may b authorized by the eC~'etary of War." This clause i operative only in time of peace, and such exception a are authorized thereunder mu t be general, affecting all similar unit or organizations of the ational Guard alike. The peace strength of an Infantry company is required, by ection 17, Jational Defense Act, to be one hundred enlisted men unless the Pre ident exercises the authority granted him thereunder to increase this number to one hundred and fifty (39 Stat. 177, 178). In the opinion of this office Section 60 authorizes the Secretary of War, in time of peace, to make gen-
53

eral exception to the rule requiring National Guard organizations to conform to the Regular Army in respect to composition of its units and to pre cribe the composition of the excepted unit. In this re pect, Congre has seen fit to grant broad powers to the Secretary of War in order to meet the varying conditions under which Jational Guard organization are maintained in time of peace. By inserting this exception, Congres apparently recognized that the neces ity for strict conformity to Regular Army organization i not 0 compelling in time of peace as in time of war when the ational Guard may be called to duty in the Federal . ervice and be merged with the Regular Army and all other Federal forces into one national military force.
The opinion of this office is that since the country is at present in a tate of war, it would not now be legal for the ecretary of War to authorize the reduction in the enlisted trength of lettered infantry companies of the National Guard, suggested in your memorandum, although the ecretary of War would have such authority in time of peace.

ubject: Conf renee with orps Area Commander.

1. I am in receipt of a letter from the Chief, Militia Bureau, dated October 21, 1920, covering the subject embodied in your telegram of the 26th, which i hereby acknowledged. I regret tv say that a previous engagement which requires my absence from the State will prevent my attending your conference on the 5th of ovember. I therefore give you below a brief outline of the conditions existing in thi State at the present time.
2. The State of Georgia maintained prior to the World War the following organizations:
1 Brig. Infantry (3 Regiments). 1 ep. Bl}. Infantry (4 Companies). 1 Sqd. Cavalry (4 Troops). 1 Sep. Troop Cavalry. 1 Bn. Field Artillery (3 Batteries). 1 Bn. Coast Artillery (4 Companies'). 1 Field Hospital Company. 1 Engineer Company.
3. The present allotment to the State by the Militia Bureau is contained in letter dated July 16, 1919, as follows:
1 Sqd. Cavalry. 1 Regt. Infantry. 1 Bn. Infantry. 1 Bn. Field Artillery. 1 Company Engineers. 1 Field Hospital Company. 4 Companies Coast Artillery.

56

4. The organization of the above is now under way and depend ab olutely and po itively upon keeping the minimum trength of organization at ixty-five men per company. r 0 greater force per company than this can be maintained in thi
tate. Our legislature has never made an appropriaiion greater than .'30,000.00 per year for the upport of the military of the 'tate. Of our male population available for military duty (within the age required) 57 per cent. are white and 43 per cent. negroe. The latter cannot be used or considered. A majority of our organizations are located in the small town throughout the rural agricultural districts. The city of Atlanta has only one company of Infantry at pre ent Federally recognized. The city of avannah ha at pre ent only one troop of
avalry Federally recognized, but can possibly be worked up to organize a Regiment of Heavy Artillery or Field Artillery motorized complete. Thi would be the logical place for such an organization a range facilities for actual firing under ervice condition exist there. Thi matter is now under con ideration there and by combining some of the exi ting organization , such a ' The Chatham Artillery' and" The avannah Volunteer Guard ," it can po sibly be accomplished. The city of Macon ha three Infantry companies and one Machine Gun company. The city of Augusta ha no organization at present. All other companies Federally recognized are from mall towns.
5. We are hopeful of reorganizing up to our pre-war basis, but beyond that the conditions will not warrant under existing sentiment.

Subject: Reorganization of ational Guard.

1. Since the receipt of the tentative allotment of ational Guard unit to be organized in this State, and its acceptance

57

by the State, teps have been taken to proceed with the organiza. tion of the units allotted.
2. The Adjutant General called in conference at Savannah, Georgia, the ommanding Officers of the various unit that exi ted prior to and during the World War from that city with the following re ults. The re pective organizations agree to pool their interests and unify their efforts to organize the Artillery Brigade Headquarters and the Artill~ry Regiment (75 M. Motorized) with the nece ary auxilliary unit to make the organization complete in every particular.
3. To accomplish this the five Infantry companies of the old First Infantry Regiment; the four companies of the Coa t Artillery Battalion (The avannah Volunteer Guards) ; and the two Batteries of Field Artillery (The Chatham Artillery) will combine and pool their properties and interest and proceed at once with the organization of the Regiment upon receipt of authority.
4. It will be noted that only two companie of Coa t Artillery are now allotted to the State, whereas prior authority wa given by the War Department for the reorganization of the Battalion of Coast Artillery which existed prior to and served during the late war. Two companies of this organization are now ready for inspection for Federal recognition, but ince the change madc by the Federal authority reduces them to only two companie' and takes away their battalion headquarters they much prefer to reorganize as Field Artillery and be in pected for'Federal recognition as such. This organization will give the new artillery regiment four unit. To replace the two companie of coa t artillery allotted to the tate in the tentative allotment heet for Georgia, Infantry units are preferred, in view of the fact that prior authority was given to reorganize one regiment infantry and one separate battalion of infantry, both of which were well under way when the change wa made and much trouble, delay and expense to the tate will be prevented if authority i granted to continue with the reorganization of the regiment M infantry and the separate battalion of infantry
5. It is, therefore, requested that the allotm nt of troop to this tate be changed as follow: ub titute for the tWl) companies of coast artillery one eparate battalion of infantry
58

and that authority be granted the State to proceed with the organization of the artillry regiment (75 M. :Motorized) and the artillery brigade headquarters at avannah, Georgia.
6. An early reply is reque ted as the in pection for Federal recognition of the two companies of coast artillery mentioned above and other unit are being held up pending a decision.

1. Your letter of the 22nd inst. notifying this Department of your di approval of the changes requested by the tate in the

59

tentative allotment of units to the State has been received and noted.
2. Our effort are now concentrated to give the War Department the Regiment of Field Artillery reque ted and called for in the allotment sheet as presented by Colonel Walter E. Bare, of the General taB', who made the tatement that he was authorized and directed by the ommanding General of the Fourth Corps Area to ay that upon its acceptance by the State this Department wa authorized to proceed at once with the organization of the units called for therein.
3. Acting upon this authority, the Adjutant General of the tate formally, by letter, accepted the tentative allotments in behalf of the State, and proceeded to avannah, Ga., and after extremely hard work and exhaustive effort, ucceeded in bringing together the different faction exi ting in that city, which had previously been pulling apart and preventing the reorganization of any unit, to combine and concentrate their united effort upon the organization of a complete Regiment of Field Artillery, or in fact, the reorganization of the 118th Field Artillery, which, under the ba ic law (Section 3a, ational Defense Act), should be preserved, a a majority of the units which will go to make up this Regiment served throughout the World War in the 118th Field Artillery. 4. I am greatly plea ed to report that five batterie have already been organized and Federal recognition and inspection for them ha been reque ted of the Militia Bureau. The completion of thi Regiment at an early date is now an assured fact and I trust, therefore, that we may depend upon your cooperation and support in the organization of thi unit. 5. In reference to my request contained in pa.ragraph 4 of my letter dated November 17, 1920 to replace the two companies of Coa t rtillery allotted by one eparate Battalion of Infantry previously authorized, the organization of which was well under way and nearing completion, can only ay that the reorganization of Coa t Artillery units at the present time will be absolutely impossible, rendered so on account -of the reduction to two companies when a Battalion of Coa t Artillery was previously authorized, and the organization which served through the World War as such, which should be preserved provided the
60

basic law is to be re pected (Section 3a, ational Defen e Act), had not been considered in the allotment made.
6. The authority previou ly requested to organize Coast Artillery units ha , therefore, been withdrawn for the present, and the l\Iilitia Bureau has been so advised and requested to revoke all order that may have been issued in consequence.

1. Referring to your three (3) letters of ovember 29th in which you request action with a view to Federal recognition of Batteries B, C, D and E, First Regiment Field Artillery, Georgia ational Guard, you are advised that the Militia Bureau is unable to act upon your request until we have received the approval of the ecretary of War upon the recent allotment assigned to your State.

2. It is a umed in the Militia Bureau that the Regiment of 75 mm Field Artillery hown in the new allotment to the tate of Georgia will be approved by the Secretary of War but as your present allotment include only one Battalion (2 Batteries) of 155 mm. Field Artillery, and as one Battery of thi Battalion was ordered inspected for recognition in telegram from the Militia Bureau dated October 9th, it has been decided that before authorizing inspection of any other Artillery units the final approval of the Secretary of War upon the Georgia allotment must be furnished the Militia Bureau.

3. You will be notified of your authorization for the present fiscal year a oon as the approved allotment i forwarded to this office.

The Commanding General 4th Corps Area, Fort Mc-

Pherson, Georgia.

Subject: Limited Authorization...of National Guard for Present Fiscal Year.

1. It has come to the attention of the Militia Bureau that following the recent conferences between the State and the Corps Area Headquarters authorities on the subject of allotting National Guard troops, certain State authorities have gained the impression that the tentative allotment accepted by them was authorized for immediate organization. This,is an error. The tentative allotment referred to is the final and complete allotment to each State, the organization of which is to be distributed in increments over a five-year period beginning July 1, 1919.
2.. The small amount of Federal funds remaining on hand for National Guard purpo es will make it impossible for the Militia Bureau to authorize to any State, for organization during the present fiscal year, a larger number of units than was included in the State allotment prior to June 4, 1920. In order to reduce the chances of friction to a minimum, the Militia Bureau believes that this information should be brought to the attention of the State authorities if there is any doubt whatever as to their understanding of this point.
3. The Militia Bureau will issue complete information covering the tentative allotment and the authorization for the present fiscal year for each State as soon as we are advised that the Secretary of War has approved the allotments recently adopted.

The Adjutant General of Georgia.

Subject: Artillery Allotment, Georgia National Guard.

1. Referring to your telegram of December 7th, in which you indicate that six batteries belonging to a Field Artillery

62

Regiment, Georgia ational Guard, are now organized and readv for Federal inspection, and in which you ask for a ruling as to the commissioned per onnel which will be authorized for the e units, you are advised that the Militia Bureau by letter of December 4th, to your office (which letter was probably not received before the dispatch of your telegram), made it clear that the Artillery units included in the tentative allotment recently assigned to the tate of Georgia cannot be authorized for organization during the present fiscal year.
2. Thi ituation is due to the fact that the Federal appropriation now available for National Guard purposes are so limited that the Bureau will find it nece sary to restrict authorization of ational Guard units to States throughout the country to a force not to exceed the authorization held by each tate prior to June 4, 1920.
3. The State of Georgia had an allotment at that time of one Battalion (2 batteries) of 155 mm. Artillery. This allotment cannot be exceeded in the authorization to be issued by the Militia Bureau unles other units in the Georgia allotment arc eliminated and Artillery substituted therefor. As indicated in our letter of December 4th, you will be notified of the Georgia authorization for the pre ent fiscal year as oon as the Georgia allotment receives the approval of the Secretary of War and this office is officially notified to that effect.
4. We will al 0 forward information covering the composition of units on a fifty-man and ixty-five-man basis as soon as these tables have been adopted for the Regular Army. The tables referred to in your telegram are tentative only and are ubject to change before final adoption.

ATLANTA, December, 14, 1920.

From: The Adjutant General, State of Georgia.

To:

The Chief, Militia Bureau, Washington, D. C.

Subject: Organization Georgia National Guard.

1. Receipt is acknowledged of yonI' letters dated December 4th and 8th, 1920, upon the subjects, " Inspection of Artillery Units, Geor.gia Jational Guard," and " Artillery Allotment, Georgia
ational Guard." I am aloin receipt of copy of a letter from the Chief, Militia Bureau, to the Commanding General, Fourth Corps Area, dated December 7, 1920, subject: " Limited authorization of National Guard for present :fi cal year."
2. In the letter to the Commanding General of the Fourth Corps Area the following statement is particularly noted: " Thc tentative allotment referred to is the final and complete allotment to each tate."
3. In your letter of the 8th in t. to thi Department, the following statement is noted: "The Bureau will find it necessary to restrict authorization of National Guard unit to States throughout the country to a force not to exceed the authorization held by each State prior to June 4, 1920. The State of Georgia had an allotment at that time of one Battalion (2 bat-
. . . . ." teries) of 155 mIn. Artillery. This allotment cannot be ex-
ceeded in the authorization to be issued by the Militia Bureau

4. The above tatements, if true, are certainly paradoxic. In the :first place, this State accepted in good faith the allotment of July 16, 1919, also the allotment of October 19, 1920. The latter, you now state in your letter of the 7th instant to the Commanding General, Fourth Corps Area, is final and complete. Second, you notify the State of Georgia, in your letters of the 4th and 8th instant, that we must not exceed the authorization of units allotted July 16, 1919, that one Battalion (2 batteries) of 155 mm Artillery was then allotted and one battery of this particular organization was ordered inspected for Federal recog

64

nition. The Iilitia Bureau must have known at the time that no such organization is included in the new allotments to this State, which were delivered to the State and put into effect prior to Our request for the inspection of the battery of Field Artillery of 75 mm, which is the only character of Artillery authorized for this
tate in the" final" and (( co'mplete " allotment of units.
5. The Militia Bureau's letter dated July 16, 1919, allotted to this State one Battalion of Field Artillery and not a word wa aid concerning its character, nor have we received any intructions or tables concerning the organization of a Battalion of 155 mm. Artillery. We naturally a surned that the reorganization of the Field Artillery Battalion that existed prior to and s~rved as such throughout the World War was intended, in compliance with the law to preserve such organtzation , and our application was for the in pection of a battery of Field Artillery of 75 mm. and not for a battery of 155 mm. Artillery.
6. There has been no confusion in thi tate resulting from the conferences called at the States' expense with the Corps Commanders. We have acted in good faith in an earnest effort to cooperate with the wishes of the War Department, and have acted upon positive statements made to the effect that all previous allotments of units to the State had been revoked, and that authority was granted to the State to proceed with the organization of the new units allotted wherever it was found possible to do so.
7. There exists a great difference in the character of units previously allotted to this tate and tho e recently allotted. The question naturally arises: What is to become of the units previou ly allotted to this tate and now organized that do not appear in the new allotment 1 If we continue with their organization, which you indicate and apparently desire, what action will you take to protect them 1 We do not propo e, if we can avoid it, to be stultified and have the great expense, labor, and effort that have been expended upon them lost. The officer and men composing these organizations in this section are intelligent men of affairs, and cannot be hawked about and changed from one character of organization to another without showing them and their organization, which holds their interest on account of
65

its past tradition, history and service to the country, proper consideration.
8. The old allotment to this State included, in addition to one Regiment of Infantry, one Separate Battalion of Infantry, the organization of which was nearly completed when the new allotment was issued, and our recent request to complete the organization of the Separate Battalion of Infantry was declined on the ground that it did not fit in with the plan of the War Department and would be surpluS" and out of place if authorized. Fortunately, we can embody this unit in the regimental organization.
9. The Field Hospital Company authorized in the old allot ment, which has been reorganized and has applied for recognition, does not appear in the new allotment, and I presume our request to have it accepted will meet with a similar fate. The organization of a Sanitary Company, substituted in the new allotment, is impossible.
10. The four Companie of Coast Artillery, which were authorized under the old allotment, were cut down to two companies in the neW'. allotment, thereby killing its organization as a battalion and a unit of war service.
11. The sum and substance of the matter is this : We would like to have some positive ruling upon which we can rely and act with confidence before proceeding further. We cannot proceed with the reorganization of the units allotted July 16, 1919, as apparently desired from your letters referred to herein, without a positive guarantee that they will not be disturbed in the future.
12. Weare in a position to give the War Department the following units:
1 Complete Regiment of Infantry. 1 Complete Regiment of Field Artillery (75 mm.) 1 Field Hospital Company. 1 Squadron of Cavalry. Or as much thereof as may be authorized to the extent of the appropriations allotted to the State for the present fi cal year.

From: The Chief, Militia Bureau;

To;

The Adjutant General of Georgia.

Subject; Allotment of National Guard Under Act of June 4, 1920.

1. Under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved June 4, 1920, the following allotment of National Guard troops, based on a ration of a minimum of 800 men per Senator and Representative in Congre ,has been approved by the Secretary of War for the State of Georgia;

Division Troops.

for explanation of changes in ten- 2 Coa t artillery companies.

tative allotment.

2. Attention is invited to the fact that the above list of organizations is the complete and final minimum allotment of National Guard to the State of Georgia. Under the law the organization of these units is to be distributed in annual increments over a five year period beginning July 1st, 1919.
3. In determining what portion of the final allotment to au-

67

thorize for organization during the pre ent fiscal year, the Militia Bureau was guided by the following considerations:
(a) The size of the allotment made to the State prior to June 4, 1920, and the attitude of the State authorities toward the formation of that force.
(b) The wi hes of the State authoritie a expre ed in correspondence with the Militia Bureau or other agencies of the War Department.
(c) The principle laid down a a fundamental part of the policy of the War Department, i. e., that throughout it reorganization the rational Guard must be maintained as a well-balanced, effective force, capable of prompt mobilization into properly proportioned divisions and larger units.
(d) Finally, the 'state of the Federal appropriations that limit the assistance which the Federal Government can extend to the National Guard.
4. The authorized allotment of troop to the tate of Georgia, on June 4, 1920, was a follows:
1 Infantry regiment. *1 Infantry battalion (separate). ] ea,aIry quadron. *1 Field artillery battalion (155 mm.).
1 Engineer company. 1 Field hospital company. 4 Coast artillery companie .
Under the Tables of Organization effective at the time the above allotment wa authorized, the total trength of thi force, ba ed on the minimum authorized for the Regular Army, is approximately 2877 men.
Due to changes pre cribed in the organization of the Regular Army, the unit marked thus (.) in the above list have either been altogether eliminated, absorbed by other unit , or removed from the State's allotment. For the units thus marked the fol lowing units will be sub tituted on the allotment authorized for immediate organization:
1 regiment of Field Artillery (75 mm. horse-drawn) in lieu of the separate Infantry battalion and the 155 mm. Artillery battalion; the Engineer company will b come a Combat Engineer unit for the Army troops; the Coa t Artillery allotment is re-
68

dnced to two companies. Attention is invited to note at the end of this letter in explanation of the Militia Bureau's action on Infantry and 75 mm. Field Artillery allotment.
5. The funds available for ational Guard purposes are sufficient to provide during the remainder of the present fiscal year for a force not to exceed that authorized prior to June 4, 1920. Therefore the allotment of ational Guard Troops for the State of Georgia for the fiscal year 1921 (ending June 30, 1921, is as follows:
Division Troops.
1 Infantry Regiment. 1 Field Artillery R~giment (75 mm., hor t: drawn). 1 Hospital Company.
Anny Troops.
1 Combat Engineer Company. 1 Cavalry Squadron. 2 Coast Artillery Companies.
In this connection, attention i invited to Circular Letter TO. 62, 1\I.B., current series, which fixes the company maintenance strength at sixty-five men.
6. Authority is hereby granted for the disbandment of any units that are rendered surplus by this readju tment. In carrying out this di bandment the following points should be observed:
(a) The commi sioned personnel affected may be permitted to resign, or placed in the National Guard Reserve or tran ferred to other recognized units. If officers are transferred to a branch other than the one in which they hold a commis ion, they should furnish the Militia Bureau with a new oath of office as of date of transfer.
(b) The enlisted per onnel should be discharged or transferred to other recognized units.
(c) The equipment pertaining to the disbanded units should be taken up by the State for issue to other troops.
(d) The Militia Bureau should be notified promptly as to the designation of the units that are disbanded under this authority and as to the di po ition made of the commis ioned and enlisted personnel compri ing any disbanded units.
69

7. The increment to be added for the coming fiscal year will be authorized as soon as Congress provides the appropriation to meet the expense of this increase. In the meantime the Militia Bureau would welcome from the Georgia authorities information as to any exi ting units that may not be included in the above authorization for the present fiscal year, and also information as to what units the tate authorities desire to have included in the increment for the coming year. The l\Iilitia Bureau will be guided by these wishes as far as possible, but the following principle laid down by the Secretary of War will take precedence over all other con iderations:
"Infantry and Cavalry divi ions and ubordinate unit thereof and Coast Artillery units for harbor defenses shall be organized before corp and army troops (other than Cavalry), but any exi ting units which fit into the complete tate allotment as approved may be retained."
. Under the law, National Guard unit may, until June 30, 1921, be recognized with a minimum strength of 50 men; this strength i authorized for tecognition only, the minimurn maintenance strength after July 1, 1921, being fixed at 65 men. Until further notice is given, the temporary table of organization set forth in Circular Letter No. 35, L B., June 16, !920, (as amended by Circular Letter No. 51, lVI. B. current series) will govern the compo ition of all units covered therein.

Tables of organization covering the compo ition of all units not covered by the above mentioned circular letter will be prepared for and i ued to the ational Guard at the earliest practicable moment. The i ue of tlie e tables will be made without request therefor from the tate authoritie. Correspondence on this matter is therefore not nece sary.
9. In conclusion, thi Bureau de ires to emphasize the fact that the War Department favors the organization of a reasonable number of unit along the mo t efficient line a again t the hasty formation and later di integration of a larger number of poorly organized companies.

By direction of the ecretary of War:

OTE.-The following indorsement from the Secretary of War on your ll'tter of Noyember 17, ]920, to the Commanding General, 4th Corps Area, goyerned the Militia BUl'eau in issuing the allotment contained
herein: "It is desired that you invite the attention of the State authorities to
the fact that the 75 mm. gun organizations to be allotted to the State of Georgia are division troops, and therefore will be animal drawn and Dot motorized; al 0 that thil application for the allotment of a separate battalion of infantIJ' is di approved."

)I.B. 325.4-Ga. From: The Chief, Militia Bureau:

December 24, 1920.

To:

The Adjutant General of Georgia.

ubject: Organization, Georgia ational Guard.

1. The Militia Bureau does not believe it necessary to reply at length to your letter of December 14th on the above subject, in view of the fact that our letter of authorization of December 16th to your office has, in all probability, et at rest the doubts which troubled the State authoritie on the subject of their National Guard allotment. This office feels ure that any remaining doubts which may now exist will be ilis ipated by a careful reading of the National Guard clau es of the Act of June 4,1920.
2. uch scrutiny of the law will reveal the fact that the allotment of ational Guard to the variou tate was a que tion entrusted to a Joint Committee, not to the :Militia Bureau. As a con equence the lilitia Bureau, contrary to the as umption of the Georgia authoritie , ilid not know what allotment had been a igned to Georgia until we had been furni hed with a copy of the allotment bearing the approval of th ecretary of War. Our letter of authorization followed promptly the receipt of that officially approved document.
3. If our letter of December 16th i carefully read, it wm becom clear that the complete and final allotment of the State of Georgia is a totally dill'erent thing from the atdhorization i sued by the Bureau, ~hich indicate the quota of troops that may be organized by the State during the present fiscal year.
4. This point was evidently overlooked by the Georgia authoritie , but it is a fact nevertheless that, while the law provides that a tate if desired, may undertake the organization of its

71

compl~te allotment at once, the law (Section 119, Act of June 3, 1916), also provides that-
The Secretary of War shall cau e to be estimated annually the amount necessary for carrying out the provisions of so much of this act as relates to the militia, and no money hall be expended under said provisions except as shall from time to time be appropriated for carrying them out."
5. The Militia Bureau wa glad to note that the removal of the Separate Battalion of Infantry from the Georgia allotment made it possible to include in this year' authorization the 75 mm. Field Artillery Regiment (horse drawn) which the State evidently wishe to form at once.
6. In conclusion, the l\Iilitia Bureau desire to expres the hope that the Georgia authoritie , now that they have secured the readju ted authorization for thi fiscal year, will proceed energetically with their appointed task of organizing their quota of the ational Guard.
By direction of the Secretary of War: J. Mel. CARTER,
Brigadier General, U. . Army.
WAR DEPARTME IT'S POLICY RE PECTING REORGANIZATION OF THE ATIO AL GUARD.
Subject: Allotment of National Guard Troops to Corps Area.
Under the provisions of the ational Defense Act, as amended by the Act of Congre s approved June 4, 1920, the nited State is now divided, with reference to military population, into nine administrative area , which replace the old departments and are officially known as Corp Areas. They in turn have been grouped into three Army Area.
Thu the First, econd and Third Corps Areas constitute the First Army Area; the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, the econd Army Area; and the eventh, Eighth and Ninth, the Third Army Area.
It is now proposed to station in each corps area one or more tactical corps of three Regular Army, ational Guard or Or-
72

ganized Reserve divisions each, together with a balanced percentage of field army and general headquarters reserve troop .
The principle upon which this adjustment ha been prepared contemplates a peace time organization capable in a major emergency of quick and orderly expansion to the strength required for the initial mobilization for war, but without the addition of a single tactical unit.
In other word all the military units required in the first mobilization will be provided either in actual organizations of a peace strength sufficient for proper training or in more or less skeletonized organizations composed of Organized Reserves.
It has been deemed advisable by the War Department to begin the reorganization of the ational Guard immediately and a table of tentative allotments has been prepared showing the number of troops to be organized in each State, under Section 62, of the ational Defense Act, as amended which require a proportion of 200 men for each enator and Repre entative in Congres , and a number to be determined by the President for each Territory and the District of Columbia; with a proportionate annual increase until 800 men per enator and Representative has been reached which minimum is required under the Statute by June 30, 1924. If the provisions of this law are fulfilled, a total enlisted strength of approXimately 427,000 men will be provided a the peace organization of the Jational Guard component of the Army.
The plan for the development of the ational Guard furnished to Corp Area Commander represents the work of a Committee of the War Department General Staff composed of Regular, ational Guard and Re erve officers who served in the Army throughout the war and who repre ent wide and broad
~xperience ill ational Guard affairs.
This committee made an exhaustive tudy of the problem with regard to the perpetuation of the numbers and designations of the combat division of the American Expeditionary Forces, and of the actual number of troops stationed in the several States prior to Mexican Border service, the number sent to the Border and the number called from each State into the service of the United States and later drafted for the World War.
73

The tentative ational Guard allotments made by the War Department comprise for each Corps Area one or more tactical divisions, with appropriate percentages of the troops required for the organization of Army Corps, field army and general headquarters reserve troops.
It i realized by the War Department that the number of ational Guard units allocated to the several corps areas may at first glance appear ambitious, they provide only the tactical units required in the general scheme of defense to absorb the minimum strength directed in the .r ational Defense Act to be reached by June 30,1924.
The policy of the War Department will be to give every assistance po ible to the State authorities in the solution of the problems which may confront them during the reorganization, alid it is contemplated that corps area commanders will confer with State authorities with a view to recommending to the War Department changes in the tentative State allotments which may be considered desirable, and such changes as may be approved will be incorporated in the :final allotments before their issuance, for the guidance of all concerned.
It is contemplated that troops required under the allotment which are armed with weapons not susceptible to use in State emergencies, will be provided with Infantry equipment and will be trained as Infantry to a limited degree in order that they may have a distinct value from the standpoint of State requirement.
After the allotment tables have been formally approved, the localization of units called for will be worked out by committees in the several States of which a majority membership will be made up of ational Guard and Reserve Officers.

The Adjutant General, tate of Ga., Atlanta, Ga.

Subject: Report of Duty Performed by Ga. State Guard in Case of Phillip Gathers.

1. In connection with the murder of 'I:i Anza Jaudon, near Rincon, Ga., on the 11th in tant, the hunt for Phillip Gather, charged with the crime, and his arre t and lynching, I beg to report as follows on the duty performed by the Georgia State Guard:
2. On the 15th in tant Judge Lovett of Screven County, reordered on duty. I was at that time absent from home station, in Athens, Ga. On the afternoon of the 16th your telegram to me wa promptly communicated to Capt. G. B. Pritchard, 1 t Bn., G. . G., the enior officer in the city of the two Savannah battalion , and he in turn communicated with apt. John A. nutton, temporarily commanding the 2nd battalion. On the morning of the 17th your wire to Capt. E. G. Thomson, clerk at the e headquarters wa at once tran mitted to Capt. Hutton, and you were 0 advised by telegraph.
3. On the morning of the 1 th it was reported to me that the negro Gathers was thought to be about five miles from Savannah, and that the mob wa moving in that direction, and after hurried con ultation I i sued pecial Order r o. 1, copy attached. The e two battalions were a sembled, but on receipt of later information were dismissed subject to the prescribed riot

75

call of the city. On the 19th this action was confirmed by Special Order o. 2, copy attached.
4. On the morning of the 18th Capt. O. M. Morgan, Commanding Effingham Home Guard, came to Savannah in per on and reported in detail on the situation. He was ordered to report to Capt. Pritchard and to keep in close touch with this officer.
5. About 11 :15 A. f. on the 21st I was informed that the negro Gathers had been arrested and was being carried from Stilson, Ga., towards Springfield. The information did not reach me through military sources. Immediately I summoned my Adjutant, also Major Henry Blun, commanding 2nd battalion (who had returned to avannah on the 20th) and Capt. Pritchard. I got all po ible information on the long distance telephone from Springfield and Guyton, and at 11 :45 A. M. had sounded the Savannah riot call on the fire alarm, issuing at the same time Special Order o. 3, copy attached. Despite much confusion because of the almo t simultaneous ringing of a fire call, both battalions a embled quickly and in gratifying numbers. The 1 t battalion moved to the armory of the 2nd battalion, and both left in automobile for Rincon or pringfield, about 1 :15 P. M. The 2nd battalion had a total of 157 officer and men and the 1st battalion, to the be t of my information, carried about 100. As reported by Major Blun, the troops reached Montieth, ten miles from avannah, by 1 :45 P. M., and were turned back from there by his order. He learned there from reliable authority that the negro had already been lynched near Rincon and that quiet prevailed at the cene.
6. I attach hereto report of Major Henry Blun, commanding both Savannah battalions on this duty; clippings from the avannah Morning Jews of the 22nd instant; and copies of my letters of the 22nd and 25th to Capt. O. M. Morgan and of his reply of the 23rd. As oon a further report is received from Capt. Morgan I will forward ame, also report which has been reque ted from the 1st battalion G. S. G.

Subject: Report of Military Performance June 21 t, 1920.

1. After a conference in General Meldrim' office between 11 and 11 :30 A. 1., June 21 t, 1920, and pur uant to Special Orders o. 3, Headquarter First Brigade, G. . Guard, placing the undersigned in command of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, G. S. G., "and ordering the e battalions to a semble immediately at their re pective armorie, the pre cribed riot call of the City of Savannah was ounded at about 11 :45 A. M.
2. The fact that a fire alarm immediately followed the riot call of eleven stroke was omewhat confusing and unquestiop.ably delayed mobilization to some extent. Despite thi fact, the two battalions left the Guards' armory about 1 :15 P. 1., the Fir t Battalion having joined the Second at this point. The men were ordered to use all available automobile as a means of tran portation, and the first machine reached Montieth about 1 :45 P. M. This machine carried rajor Henry Blun, Comdg. the 1st and 2nd Bat ., Capt. G. B. Pritchard, Senior Officer in command of the 1 t Bat. and Staff officer. At Montieth these officers met Drs. Exley and Adam, two reputable Savannah physicians, who had Just returned from a section described as a short distance above Rincon and about eleven miles from Montieth, near a place known a Rahn's mill, and who informed the officers that Phillip Gathers had been killed by a mob at approximately 12 :45 P. M. This report wa verified by other re-

78

sponsible parties, returning from the 'scene, among whom wa

Chief Harley of the County Police force. The troops were then

halted and ordered to return to their armories, where they were dismissed at 3 :15 P. M.

The attendance record of the 1st Bat. will be forwarded as soon as received. This information has been reque ted.
4. Perhaps it would not be amis to express my gratification at the very good showing which the two battalions made on this occasion. Particularly are the members of the older companies to be congratulated, not only as to their punctuality in answering the everal calls, but a to the number of men that responded. In my own outfit I offer as an example-Company , A," which had an attendance of 40 men and 3 officers on June 21st, and all the members of this company are counted among the older men of this Battalion, many of whom have seen much military service in past year .

ubject: Report of Annual Inspection.
1. I have the honor to submit the following as my report upon the Annual Armory Inspection of the ational Guard of Georgia for the year 1919, made by me under G. O. o. 1 from your office dated March 3, 1920.
2. Under instructions from Headquarters, Southeastern Department, only those organizations Federally recognized prior to January 1, 1920, were to be included in this inspection.
3. This in pection was made concurrently with the Federal Inspector, Major W. P. Screws, U. . Army, who is on duty as Inspector-Instructor of the Alabama ational Guard.
4. There being but one line organization to inspect, no com'parison can be made, and as this one organization has been organized but a few months, there is no previous data available to show whether there has been improvement or deterioration.

Records.
The record were in good condition with the exception of the Property and Loan Record which wa not properly as embled.
This was properly arranged by the Inspector, and instrnctions given for keeping it properly in the future.
P1opmty.
The property was in excellent condition, practically all of it being of recent i ue.
The armory affords uitable facilitie' for tIl car of the property, and is an excellent one for general- purpo es.
Attendance at Drills ince Federally Recognized.
Owing to a evere epidemic of "flu." thi company's figure under thi head is really misleading, as most of the ab ences were cau ed by ickness, and not from lack of interest or enthusia m.
Attendance at Inspection.
Pre ent at In pection: 3 Officer, 1 First gt., I Supply gt., 6 gt ,. 9 Cpl., 1 Mech., 2 Cook, 2 Buglers, 15 1 t class Privates and 2 Private. Aggregate 6 .
Absent at Inspection: 1 Mess Sgt., 2 Cpls., 41st class Privates and 33 Private. Aggregate 40.
The large number of ab entees wa caused by sicknes . ee remarks under the preceding eading.
Inspection and Ensuing Drill.
Appearance of the Men: Very good. Several appeared with. out coat. Leggings not uniform throughout the company.
Drill: Very good. The first part of the drill was not up to
2

standard, owing to the presence of a large number of recruits. These recruits were later allowed to fall out, and the balance of the drill was much better. Non-commissioned officers need more self-confidence.
Discipline. The di cipline of the company, as far a the Inspector ha been able to determine in the short time the company ha been in exi tence, i very good.
Ta1get Fi1ing. o target practice held during 1919.
General Remarks. Considering the short time this company has been organized, it ha made commendable progress. The spirit of both officers and men is excellent, and one very encouraging feature is the attitude of the people of the community, which is mo t favorable.

5. The grading of this company i incomplete, owing to the fact that ome of the factors are missing, but in order to furnish a basi for future reference, it has been graded in so far as it could be done.

6. Owing to the change in the minimum strength of companies, the method in computing attendance at drill heretofore in use, is not applicable with companies of 100 men, so an arbitrary rule was adopted in the above computation, subject to approval by you.

Note.
This schedule will govern the activities in camp, and may be modified if progress along the different lines warrant any change.
It will be noted that every afternoon is devoted to work on the target range. This was deemed advisable, owing to the large number of recruits in the Guard, the number of competitions called for in the order of the Adjutant General, and al 0 to allow for some day when weather conditions would prohibit the work on the range.
Should it be possible to complete work on the target range sooner than contemplated, the time thus gained will be' devoted to more extended instruction in Field Work, of a practical nature. Additional lectures will be given on days when the weather is such that outdoor work cannot be carried on.

REPORT OF THE IN PE TOR-GEl ERAL, GEORGIA NATIO);iAL GUARD,
O. CAMP OF L--. TRUCTIO , HELD AT ATL.lNT.l RIFLE R. GE,
June 10th to June 24th.
A1~thority.
Under the provisions of General Order, No.3, Military Department, State of Georgia, dated June 1, 1920, the National Guard of the State established a Camp of Instruction at the Atlanta Rifle Range adjoining Fort McPherson, Ga., for the period from June 10 to June 24, 1920, both dates inclusive.
Q1tarlers, Rations, Etc.
The troops ordered to participate in the Camp of Instruction, reported for duty June 10th.
Company "A" 1st Separate Battalion, from Dublin, consisting of three officers and seventy-five men, traveled to camp by rail. This company was joined later by eleven men who had been unable to come with the company. The average attendance at camp was 3 officers and 82 men.
Company "A" 1st Regiment, from Atlanta, con isting of three officer and eighty-one men, proceeded to camp by marching. The average attendance at camp was 3 officers and 81 men.
The command occupied the barrack buildings on the grounds, which are entirely suitable, particularly as to sanitary arrangements and bathing facilities for a mall battalion.
The messing arrangement were very satisfactory. Rations were drawn from the Commi ary at Fort McPherson, and proved ample in quantity and excellent in quality.
Equipment.
The equipment of the men was practically all new, and in excellent condition.
95

Discipline.
The conduct of the men, both in and out of camp, left little to be de ired. 0 trial by court:martial were had during the camp, and the orderliness of the entire personnel was the subject of favorable comment by officers of the Regular Army, not on duty with the troops but in a position to' observe the camp daily.
Instruction.
A chedule of instruction, prepared in accordance with requirements of the War Department, governed the work of the camp.
Thi schedule called for 8 hour work per day, but 0 diversified that none of the work became monotonous, the different drills alternating with lectures by competent instructors on military subjects.
In most cases the drill following a lecture, was a practical application of the instruction just given in the lecture, thu combining theoretical and practical work in uch a manner that the lessons taught would make a lasting impression.
The schedule, with slight variations, was carried out in its entirety.' A copy of same is attached to this report.
Target Practice.
The regular yearly target practice, required by regulations, was held during this camp, forming a portion of the schedule of instructions.
Owing to the fact that a large percentage of the men of the Guard were without previous military service, considerable time wa devoted to this very nece ary instruction of the oldieI'.
In addition, a number of competitions were called for, in the order providing for holding this camp.
All afternoons, therefore, were utilized in preparing for work on the range, or in actual shooting on the range.
Major William T. Spratt, Jr., Ordnance Department, Georgia ational Guard, was in direct charge of the target practice.
He performed this duty in an able and con cientious manner. and with very gratifying results.

P1-ogress.
Comparing the tate of instruction of both officers and men, upon arrival at camp and at the conclusion of the cour e of instruction, a marked improvement wa readily seen along all line. 1'hi wa manife ted in the improved carriage of the men, and the ea e and confidence with which they performed their various duties.
General Remarks.
Although this schedule of instruction called for eight hours work per day some of which was pretty strenuous to men accustomed to office work or other indoor employment, the spirit of the command was excellent, and company commanders reported that, with few exception, the men were expre sing regret that the camp could not be continued.
Major Jame l\f. Kimbrough, Jr., Inf., U. . Army, who is detailed as Inspector-Instructor with the ational Guard of Georgia, wa in charge of in truction.
He carried out his dutie in a very able manner. Hi lectures showed careful preparation and a thorough knowledge of his subjects, and he wa able to hold the attention of hi hearer at all times. In addition to the theoretical part, Major Kimbrough wa active in supervi ion of the practical work of the troops
98

throughout the course, and the results attained show the value of his efforts.
Major Arthur McCollum, Quartermaster Corps, Georgia ational Guard, was detailed as camp quartermaster. This officer has had many years experience in this department, and the efficiency manife ted shows the result of that experience.
Examinations of Officers. During the encampment practically all the officers present took the profe ional examination required by the War Department for Federal recognition a officers of the ational Guard. It is gratifying to be able to state that all pa sed the examination ucces fully. The under igned, as Camp Commander, can testify to the prompt and cheerful compliance with order on the part of the officers, both line and staff.

The Adjutants General of all States and Territorie , and Com-

manding Generals', Territorial Department.

Subject: Organization of the ational Guard.

1. The National Guard which exi ted prior to the war with the Central European powers was drafted into the Federal service, and after performing its duty with great honor and fidelity has been discharged from its obligation. The time has now m'rived for its reorganization under the laws by which it has been established, and in pursuance with the Acts' of Congres making provi ion for its maintenance and equipment.
2. Plans for the reorganization of the National Guard call for the eventual organization as soon as appropriations' are available on the following basis:
The Coast Artillery will be substantially as it exi ted before the war. The remainder of the National Guard will within the limits of available appropriations be organized into sixteen Infantry Diyi ions', one Cavalry Division, and into separate regiments and maller unit .
No National Guard Army or Corps troops or special service units such as aero quadrons or tank corp or the like will be organized at the pre ent time.
3. The Infantry Divisional Di trict under the sixteen dirision plan will be sub tantially the ame a that in which the National Guard was formed for en'ice in the United States Army. Xational Guard Di'l'i ional District Ko. 51-Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-

Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. 4. The Camlry Division will be as igned to the entire nited States at large, but will be organized principally in tho eState uitable for mounted troops. 5. In accordance with the Act of June 3, 1916, a amended by the Act of June 11, 1919, the tot-al strength of the ational Guard i to be obtained in annuill increment, cOllllllencing with 200 men for each senator and representative in Congress, and increa ing each year by not Ie than fifty percentum until a total peace tren th of 00 enlisted men for the above representation ha been reached. The tate may desire to raise at once their entire quota under the Act of June 3, 19]6, and under the law may do so; there will be only sufficient Federal funds available to maintain the number given belo\\' a far a Federal Obligation are concerned. 6. The appropriation for the upport of the National Guard for the fiscal year 1920 is based on 200 enlisted men for each enator anod representative in Congre ", and pro\-ides for the maintenance of a total of ] 06,200 enlisted men, which ha'"e been prorated on thi basis to the tate and Territol"ie of the United State. The Militia Bureau, in designating tbe number and kind of ational Guard unit to be organized by tbe se\-eral tate, ba been guided by tbe nace sity of forming larger unit u eful ill the event of a Federal emergency, while at tbe arne time considering tbe intere ts' of tbe tate by pro\-idin for them a force capable of maintaining law aud order_ 7_ Tbe plan c mprising sLxteen Infantry Divisions' and one avalry Dh-ision can not be completely realized during tbe fiscal year 1920 owing to the limitation of eJ,.; ting appropriation but the organization of tbe Kational Guard will be such a to form tbe neces ary units for eight partially complete Infantry Divisions and one skeleton Camlry Divi ion wbi h could be mobilized in an emergency by a combination of ...-ational Guard Districts. . The ecretary of War has decided that tbe fine en'ice of tbe National Guard Divisions in the world war bonld receive the greatest recognition that it is po sible to accord them. Tbeir ervicOS' and fine records are a :N ational a et and tbe recognition accorded them sbonld be of the same character. A a part of tbe Army of the nited tates they won
104

many of the laurels of that Army. It ha , therefore, been decided to perpetuate a many a pos ible of the ational Guard and National Army unit which took part in the war with Germany, by continuing their designations ill the permanent military establishment and in such a manner a to gh-e representation to every State. Tho e Divisions which cannot be incorporated in the permanent military c tablishment will be perpetuated by announcing them as Reserve Division to be organized whenever a National emergency hould require.
You are therefore informed that de 'ignations other than tho e u ed in the war with Germany will be elected for all new ~ational Guard Dh'i ion, and the unit which compo e them.
9. It i the de ire of the War Department to re-e tablish the ational Guard on a firm and efficient basis and to obtain in the cOmDlis ioned and enlisted grade a maximum of men ,,,ith ervice in the United tate Army during the great war. To achieve that end it will be necessary that the Regulation be fully complied with, and the requirement for admis ion ill the National Guard both for officer and enlisted men fully observed. The appointment of officers and enlistment of men, who are not suitablc for acth'e field service, either for profe sional or per onal reasons, or who would not be able to participate completely and fully in a Federal call, will serve on ly to lower the military efficicncy of the 1 ational Guard as a whole. The War Department reque ts the earne t co-operation of the . e\-eral Statcs and Tel'1'itories in making the National Guard an effective force during the period of its re-organization.
10. Totification of the allotment of unit to the e,'eral tates under the plan outlined for the fi cal year 1920, will be made in a epal'ate communication.

TL.\NTA.
From the foregoing it will be een that the United tate recognize the ational Guard a fir t line troop nece ary for the
ational Defense. The Federal law require that each State shall organize and maintain jointly with the Federal Government its proportionate quota of the full number of ational Guard troops allotted as neces ary for the Natoinal Defense and safety.
A reorganized Georgia ational Guard of the strength required by the Federal law i incumbent upon the tate if she desires to keep abrea t of her iter tates in doing her appointed part, and the ame pride and spirit which animated the Georgia rational Guard to the performance of their patriotic and heroic duties prior to and during the war with the Central Powers should now be shown that the splendid record achieved may be perpetuatcd which ha (lemon hated that our citizen soldier organized and trained for war in accord with American ideal are incomparable.
The men of the Georgia National Guard have done great things, their war record i imperi hable, but their pirit which overcame every obstacle in battle mu t now be concentrated in forming a strong nucleus of every unit of the reorganized Guard, that the actual knowledge of campaign and battle may be imparted to the recruit who will later take their places and that our old historical military organization may keep their identity and continue their existence and profit by the valuable training and fighting spirit of their membership.
To organize a Company the following will be nece ary: To ecur prompt consideration and recognition by the tate and Federal Government a formal application should be ubmitted to the Adjutant General, giving names, age and Military record of the officer and men. One hundred enlisted men is the minimum number required for Federal recognition.

TATE OF GEORGIA,
:MILITARY DEPARTl\IE '1',

BULLETI NO.2:

June 26, 1920.

GEORGIA rATIONAL GUARD REORGA1~IZATION.

1 'I he principal ob tructions which 'were preventing the reorganization of the National Guard of thi tate having been removed with the pas age by Congres of the Army Reorganization Bill, approved JWle 4, 1920, the National Guard will now be enabled to reorganize upon a more liberal considerate and constructive ba is than ever before.
2. The mo t important changes made are in the nature of amendment to the National Defense Act of June 3, 1916, which remains the ba ic law, as follow :
3. Section 60. National Guard Companies are now authorized at a MINIMUM OF 50 'lEN EA H, and will receive Federal recognition at a minimum enlisted strength of 50 men. Within one year thereafter the unit must enroll and maintain a trength of at lea t 65 men, which is pre cribed as the minimum strength for maintenance.
4. ection 69. Enli tment in the ational Guard will be for a period of three year with the privilege of ubsequent enlistment for a period of one year each.
5. The Chief of the :Militia Bureau will be a National Guard officer from January 1, 1921, and the ational Guard will have actual repre entation upon the General Staff Committees and

112

will be an important and active factor in formulating the plans of reorganization and regulations for their maintenance.
6. ection 109. The pay of both officers and men is more liberal than ever before. The new law divides all enlisted men into seven grades, pecifies the percentage of total enlisted trength in each, and the monthly rates of pay for each grade. In addition enlisted men may be rated as specialists a1l4 r"eceive pay therefor. The pay for National Guard Officers has been greatly increased. They will receive regular drill pay at the rate of one-thirtieth of the monthly ba e pay of their grades as prescribed for the Regular Army for each regular drill attendance. In addition to this drill pay, Captains commanding organizations will receive $240.00 a year; officers above the grade of Captain will receive $500.00 a year; and officers below the grade of Major not belonging to organizations shall receive four-thirtieths of the monthly ba e pay of their grade for satisfactory performance of their appropriate duties under the regulations.
7. Section 111. In ca e of war the National Guard, while ubject to draft into the Federal Service, more considerate treatment is provided for than that shown them during the World War. Their organizations will remain intact and they will resume their former militia status in the State service upon the termination of the emergency for which they were called.
8. In view of the fact that under the law' the State cannot maintain Hom eGuard Companies, which must be disbanded and the arms and equipment i sued to them must be returned when peac ehas been formally declared by the President, it is incumbent upon the tate to reorganize the units of National Guard allotted to the Statc for the fi cal year 1920 by the War Department and application received from every city and town in the
tate de iring to organize and maintain an organization will receive prompt attention.
9. The following letters, containing the temporary policy, regulations and tentative table of organization, received from the Militia Bureau arc printed in detail for the information of all concerned. 'fhe e regulation will govern until new regulations based upon the new law can be prepared.
By order of the Governor: J. VAN HOLT A H, The Adjutant General.

WAR DEPART~IENT,

MILITIA BUREAU.
Washington, June 16, ]920. Circular Letter Nit. 35. From: The hief, :Militia Bureau.

To:

The Adjutants General of all State, Territories of Hawaii and

Porto Rico, and the Districts of Columbia Militia.

Subject: TempOl'ary Policy of the Militia Bureau.

The foIl owing instruction have been communicated by the War DEY partment to the Militia Bureau for its guidance under the Act of June 4, 1920, and are tran mitted herewith for the information of the National Guard:
1. The ba ic policy for the organization of the Army of the United tates, including the Regular rmy, the National Guard and the Organized Re erve ,i now being studied by the appropriate division of General taff and action has been initiated to ecure the sen'ice of Re erve officers and ational Guard Officer for duty with the Committees of the General taff charged with the e tudies a now re, quired by law, 2. The reorganization of the National Guard and the initial organization of the Organized Reser,e pertains to the econd pha 'e of the problem and will not be nndertaken until the basic policy ha been decided upon. Pending the approval of the ba i policy mentioned in 1 abo\-e the :Militia Bureau should continue recognition of National Guard unit already allotted to and accepted by the tate which eek Federal inspection and recognition a, provided for by law. 3. rational Guard Organizations who e pI' cribed n1ll11ffiUm trength exceeds 50 hould be recognized with a strength of 50 and tho e who e prescribed minimum strength i less than 50 hould be recognized with a mininlUffi trength prescribed by the Militia Bureau, 4. In connection with 2 and 3 above, it hould be under tood that all National Guard organizations recognized prior to the appro,al of the ba ic po]icie outlined in 1 and 2 above hall be subject to uch reorganization a may be nece ary in order to conform to uch policie . In till connection attention is dil-ected to the de irability of reorganizing m.inor units rather than major unit. Attention is in,ited to paragraph 2. The Militia Bureau has already a igned unit which have been accepted by certain States. Federal.inspections and recognition of the e units a now provided for by law, will be continued, but no additional allotment will be made until the ba ic policie adopted by the ommittees of the General taff ]'eferred to in paragraph 1 abo,e ha,e been adopted. There is inelo ed herel\ith Tables of Organization, with information
114

sheet attached, bearing upon the organization of uni which formerly had a strength greater than 50, but which, under the pre ent law, may be recognized with a trength of 50. They are tentative tables which, under the law, will terminate July 1, 1921, or ooner, and which are subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 abo.e. Tho e units of the ational Guard whkh have an authorized strength of less than 50 will be recognized with the organization prescribed in Tables of May 3, 1917, subject, however, to the provisions of paragraph 4 above.
Under paragraph 4 above, the recognition of brigade headquarters and division headquarters' will be deferred, pending the adoption of the ba ic policies by Committees of the General Staff pre cribed by section 3a and 5, Act of June 4, 1920.

By direction of the ecretary of War:

J.~cI. CARTER,
~[ajor General, U. . Army.

It is reiterated here for em]basis that the tabloo is ued herewith are tentath'e, and are therefore ubject to change. It i al 0 expected that full information will be issued shortly covering change in the ational Guard Regulations necessitated by the Act of June 4, 1920. Pending the is ue of this iniormation, th efollowing tentative Regulations are published for the convenience of the J: ational Guard. The e Regulations become effective immediately, and will remain in force until changed by proper authority.
(a) The la,,- having authorized the recognition of National Guard units at a minimum strength of 50 meu, uuits may forthwith be presented at that minimum trength until further instructions i ue. After Federal recognition i ell.1:ended to cover any strength between 50 and 65 men, the unit enter upon what will be known a it First Period.
Attention is invited to the fact that the law prescribes that National Guard units may be RECOGNIZED (t a minimum strength of fifty men. This strength is for 1'ecogllition only. It is not p1'escribed as a MAINTENANCE st1ength.
(b) Within one year after its Federal recognition the unit must enroll 11. strength of at least 65 men, or the minimum strength prescribed for the corresponding unit in the Regular Army if that miniDlum strength is below '65 men. The nnit will then enter upon what will be known as its econd Peliod.
(c) Enrollment beyond the trength of 65 men will be governed by Reg\llation to be i sued later.
(d) The provision of pal'agraph (b) above apply only to those uuits pre ented for Federal Recognition under the Act of June 4, 1920. For ALL unit, however, the follo\\ing interpretation of the :rational Guard Regulation ,,'ill govern: Wbere\'er the words "pre cribed minimuDl strength" :appear in the J: ational Guard Regulations, they hall apply to a strength of 65 men (unle a lower strength is authorized under Tables of Organization, M.ay 3, 1917), whether the unit was organized for recognition witb a strength of 50, as authorized under the Act of June 4, 1920, or was recognized 'Yith the trength prescribed by the Tables of Orgauization, May "3, 1917. The full trength of 50 qualified enli ted men mu t be enrolled in order to secure recognition as a National Guard twit. The permauent dividing of organizations recognized prior to June 4, ]920, into maller organizations for recognition as eparate units, \\'ill not be authorized.
(e) Failure to maintain the minimum strength required under paragraph (b) above will render the unit liable to the forfeitlll'e of its Federal tatus.
