Gen. Merritte W. Ireland, surgeon general of the Army. to the Sec retary of War, which contemplate a2 most important and far-reach ing reorganization of the Medical Department of the Regular Army Added interest is also attached to tha part of his commendation which provides that hereafter any medical officer on duty as White House phy eician shall, at the pleasure of the ‘President, have the rank, pay and allowances of a brigadier general of the Medical Department while so serv ing. This would be regarded as a temporary appointment not to be covnted against the allowance of the general officers proposed in the re organization project. The six general officers of the Med- fcal Department under the scheme evolved by Gen. Ireland would consist of one surgeon general with the rank of major general. who would be ze- lected from the nfficers of the Medical Corps of the Regular establishment not below the grade of colonel. and who wotld be chief of the Medical De- partment. and five hrigadier generals, three of whom would be selected from officers of the Medical Corps.

Ireland, who this month enters upon his third term as surgeon general of the Army, in- creasing the r ank for mem- bers of the Nurse Corps is quite in keeping with the scope and responsi- bilities of their work. as aside from handling all matters pertaining to the nurses on active duty with the Regu- lar Army during peace time, the su- perintendent and her assistants, un- der the dicection of the surgeon gen- eral, are solely responsible for the enrollment, _in co-operation American Red Cross. of all nurses to he required in any gency. In hospitals, Gen. Ireland points out.. it is especially desired that the chief nurse have the relative Maj. Gen.

Sani- tary Corps officers are commissioned in grades from second lieutenant to colonel, inclusive. At the present officers of the Medical Administrative Corps are restricted to the grade of captain, but under Gen. Irsland's proposals they would be promoted on 8 length-of-se similar to that obtaining in the case of officers of the Medical, Dental and Veterinary Corps, up to the grade of colonel, save that an additional five vears of commissioned service has heen im- posed in their cases to offset the dif- ference in age on comr m between non-graduate and gradus onnel. Over a long period of vea en. Ire- land continued, the average age first commission in the case of offi- cers of the Medical Corps has heen 28, while ir. the case of applicants for the Medical Auxiliary Corps it would probably be around In the case of those fcal Administrative Corps no promo- tion to the grade of major under the terms of this bill would occur until 1934. Few of the present captains of the Medical Administrative Corps would evor attain the grade of lieu- tenant colonel retired for age hefore acquiring the necessary length of commissioned service. In the event of their sur- vival only four would attain the grade of colonel in 1948-49 immediately pre- ceding their retirement for age der Gen. Ireland’s proposal. upon the absorption of these offic in the Medical Auxiliary Corps ther would be assigned to duty at supply depots. general hospitals and service schools of the Medical Department and gradu ally take over the duties now being performed by Medical Corps officers whose services are required on work more immediately connected with professional attendance on the sick and injured While no hefore 1934 would occur in the case of these officers as a result of the passage ot this act, there would re- sult immediately an_increase gross total of about $40.000 per vear on the item of longevity pay for all captains now in the Medical Admin- tstrative Corps. Gen. Ireland has stressed the per sonnel shortage of the Medical Depart ment for some time in his annual re ports to the Secretary of War. and it i his opinion that remedial action can no longer be deferred without seri ousiy impairing not only the efficiency of that department. but the welfare of the entire Army at large. To em phasize the acuteness of the personnel ghortage of the Medical Department, Gen. Ireland pointed out that depart ment could not man a single surgical hespital. evacuation hospital, hospital train, or any of the other agencies necessary for conducting a proper evacuation secvice in the fleld with out abandontng the larger part of ite present and vitally essential fixed hos pitalization.

A change is not likely to he made in Hawali. | wae explained in the War Department last week, but It iz problematical at | thiz time whether the two-vear period | in the Philippines should be increasec to three years or whether the three year tour of duty in Panama should b decreased to two years. The law pre scribes that the Philippine service should be two vears with the provis: that this period may be extended i the individual is physieally fit anc applies for extension. a on this subject is being furnished to the sur geon general of the Army. and right at this time Lieut. Col. J. F. Siler, o1 duty in the Office of the Surgeon Gen- eral. is confining his ohservations with respect to the Philippines. It has heen the contention of th- military authorities that three years was not too long a period for service in the Canal Zone. due to the fact, it is pointed out, that it was very ea to send an officer to the ['nited States | tmmediately upon the first signs of im- | pairment of health | NAVY. | of particular interest to Navy offi- | cers belonging to the Medical.

Tr this connection, it will be recalled thas prior to June 10. 1926, the highest rank autherized in the Dental Corps cas that of lientenant commander Under the provisions of the equaliza | tion-of-promotion act. however, Denta | Corps officers are eligible for promo | tion to the grades of commander anc captain when their line running mates have been selected for those ranks. In rendering its report last June. the {line selection hoard recommended for | promotion to the rank of commander | the running mates of the senior 17 dental officers, who also became eligl | ble for selection to that rank. Not less | than six rear admirals of the line will | compose the selection hoard that will | be advised that it may recommend | for promotion all those dental officers | eligible for consideration. In the past | line officers have not served as mem bhers of selection hoards for any of the | Staff Corps. but under the new law it | is prescribed th th respect to | boards for the selection of staff o | cers to the ranks of ez | mander, that whenever a number of staff officers of the corp. | concerned above the rank of com mander are not 1y or physically aqualified to servesrear admirals of the line on the active list may he detailed s dut there are no Dental Corps officers .of the Navy holding nk ahove the grade of commander. the following six rear ad mirals of the line will constitute the board.

As_pointed out at the | Washington Reserve _headquarters | last week, the training objective is | the efficient and adequate preparation {of the regiment for the next active I duty period, which takes place in . and it is assumed that this ac i tive duty training period will be pri- | marily devoted to instruction in the { functions of command in combat through the medium of tactical proh- lems conducted on the ground. this training objective and assump- | tion as a basis. the program has been prepared with a view to its culminat- ing in a 15.day practical application {of command functions and tactical | principles enumerated during a two- vear period of inactive training. Two courses of inactive duty training will be conducted for the officers belonging to this regiment. one of which will be a senior officers’ course fol ficers, captalns holding certificates of apacity. and such other officers as are deemed qualified, while the second course of instruction will pany officers’ course for all other of ficers of Infantry. This two-year course will be divided—that is. in the first vear the senior officers will take up the battalion, and in the second vear the regiment and reinforced brigade will be covered. The company officei the first year will study the platoon and company, while in the second half of the course they will take up the company and battalion. | 'Next to the use of the actual ground. it has been found that the sand table ing in command functions and the | application of tactical principles, | Their use in every conference and problem to which they are adaptable will be an outstanding feature of the instruction which will obtain at the Washington Reserve headquartersdur- ing the 1926-27 fnactive duty training seamon. Instruction by means of lec- tures will be reduced to the minimum, and the applicatory system, through the medium of troop-leading problems, will be emphasized. as will also tac tical problems requiring the exercise of command functions and the appli- catlon of tactical principles. Follow- ing_is given the subject matter of conferences, all of which will be fol- lowed by a sand-table problem. to he taken up by the senlor officers: The battalion as advance guard: the bat- talion as an outpost: the battalion an estimate of the situation: the bat- talion in attack—a problem in deci- sions; the battalion in defense—a prob- lem in decisions: the battalion in at- tack—attack of a single point of re- sistance: the battalion in attack— action of interior assault battalion, showing co-operation and co-ordina- tion with adjacent units; the battalion in attack—actlon of the reserve bat- talion: the battalion in attack—the machine-gun company and attached Howitzer platoon: the battalion in de- fense—organization of center of re sistance and machine-gun and auto- matic rifle defense: the battalion in defense—organization of center of re- sistance, location of trenches, strong points and combat troops: the battal- ion In defense—conduct of the defense and counterattack.

The next four meetings of the com- pany officers’ class, which will con- clude their 1926-27 inactive duty train- ing program, will be the same as thé four concluding meetings of the senior | officers’ class """Due to the desirability of utilizing ] sand tables for two or more prohlems and the necessity for the co-ordination of their employment to the instruc.
