Inactive training In the future will be directed toward preparing units and | individuals for the practical instric- tion to be given during the active duty perfod. It will cover the theory of the subjects to be taken up during the active duty period, the object be- ing to conserve time during that period by completing during the in- active perlod such subjects as may be possible. Under the new train- ing policies, troop or group schools are to be established in every locality where they may be practicable. The applicatory conference method s recognized as the most efficlent method of Imparting instruction and will be employed wherever practica- ble in lleu of lectures. Kor tactical Instruction, the solution of map problems, map maneuvers and the sand table will be employed. Practical work during active duty periods in the past has been serfously retarded because many trainees have had no suitable preparation for such duty. This has required that time be devoted to orlentation lectures and theoretical ‘Instruction which have their proper place in Inactive train- ing. In order to avold this condi- tion and to enable closer co-ordina- tion between inactive and active training and to render the latter more effective, preference in the selectinn | of units and individuals for active | duty training will be given to those satisfactorily completing the inactive | duty training prescribed by the corps commander. In view of the limita- | tion of funde for Reserve training. lonly a relatively small number of »Mcers may be ordered to active duty ch year.
