Washington Reserve officers i/ A AV A \ " ould bear in mind that the procure- 4 \ ment of the lidted publications is,not mandatory. but it is practically’ so. since an officer cannot be expected to be proficient in his grade unless he is familiar with the contents of the listed publications.

The promulgation of this circular fills a long-felt need. one that will be welcomed by all Re- serve officers and the application of which. it is anticipated. will consider- 8bly increase proficiency of the Officers’ Reserve Corps.
