During the past year Comdr. W. I. { Causey, U. S. N, and Lieut. Comdr. | H. F. Ely, U. S. N, serving as mem- | bers of the board h Capt. Mathew- son, inspected 148 fleet divisions and {31 aviation divisions of the Naval | Reserve, as well as certain units of the Naval Communications Rescrve |and the Marine Corps Reserve. The | board also conducted inspections of | the Naval R. O. T. C. units at the University of California, of Washington, Northwestern Univer- | sity, Georgia School of Technology. | Harvard University and Yale Univer- | sity. | Commenting on the administration | of Naval Reserve units, Capt. Mathew- son reported: “The board conducted inspections | of Fleet Naval Reserve units irom the | middle of June, 1935. All aviation | units were inspected after the middle of the fiscal year. The board in- | spected 148 fleet divisions and 31 | aviation divisions. The division at | Oahu is inspected by a local board | and is not considered in the compe- | tition. Where requested, units of the Naval Communcations Reserve and of the Marine Corps Reserve were in- spected. ps?l'he factors making up the mul- tiples for fleet divisions were as fol- lows: Inspection attendance, 5; cruise attendance, 10; general appearance, 5; mobilization efficiency, 20; drills, 15; instruction, 20; turnover, 5. and drill attendance, 20. The general ef- fect was to emphasize drill attendance and proficiency in drills and 'nstruc- | tion. The factors used in making up i the mobilization efficiency were as fol- lows: Smartness and seagoing -bugty of division as a whole, including cruise | reputation, 5; proficiency of officers, | 2: proficiency of petty officers, 2; num | ber of fleet officers attached to division, | 1; number of men in four upper pay | grades, 1: distribution of petty officers, was omitted the previous year, was reintroduced at the last inspections. “The board is of the opinion that the morale and interest of the units | of the Fleet Reserve is high and that | there has been, during the period since the last inspection, a consistent pro- gressive improvement. “The lack of an adequate number of Bureau of Navigation training courses has been a handicap in the instruction of enlisted personnel. “The majority of the officers of the Fleet Reserve are interested to & University | latter part of September, 1934, to the | | 1.

There is need, however, to raise the level of efficiency of part of the officer personnel through Indoctrination, cruise and armory training, cor- respondence courses and assistance of instructors and the Naval District per- sonnel “A general improvement in armory facilities continues. During the past year several units have acquired ex- cellent armories, in most cases by the use of local relief funds acquired as | & result of the initiative of members | of the Reserve. There are still many units, however, housed in crowded and | otherwise inadequate and unsuitable | buildings. It i. believed that, with | the proper degree of energy and ini- tiative ow the part of the senior Re- | servists in these localities, local relief | funds might be procured for the erec- | tion of suitable armories at most of | these places. It is to be regretted | that the present golden opportunity | is not being grasped in all cases. This is but another instance of the value | of local connections with civic in- | terests on the part of Reservists. “Much ingenuity has been shown in providing material for drill and | instruction purposes. Many units are, however, still inadequately supplied. “The vessels assigned for train- ing duty on the Great Lakes are not suitable in none of them are ine drive or up-to- | date boiler installations. No guns are board, hence no actual firing takes “Forty-one divisions failed to main- tain efficiency, in that less than 75 per cent of the division made the cruise. Four divisions failed to main- {tain efficiency as prescribed in that average drill attendance for the year was less than 75 per cent. Of the above, two divisions were below re- quireme: in both number making the cruise and drill attendance. One division had less than the required 40 F-1 men at inspection. aval Peserve aviation has bene- fited considerably by the restoration of a 45-hour annual syllabus of fligh training. The manner of earrying out the prescribed flight syllabus and the flight demonstrations which made up a part of each inspection program in- dicates a high order of proficiency e aviators demonstrated mandatory limitations, xceptionally well trained in the naval use of aircraft. “In the past year there has been a noticeable improvement in the or- ganized ground training of both offi- cers and men in theory and practice This condition has been reflected oy the higher marks made by the officers upon practical examination in aerial navigation and radio; and by the men upon examination in the techni- cal duties of their ratings. A highe precentage of officers is now enrolled in the Bu of Navigation corre- spondence courses than ever before E a higher percentage of men the Bureau of Navigation ng courses. There still is op- ty for improvement along thi ing Many material improvements have been accomplished at the 1.rious Naval Reserve aviation bases. These improvements have been the result of initiative. intelligent imagination, and constructive planning on the part of permanent personnel. in most cases assisted by the local relief labor. One notable i ce exists at the Naval Reserve Mass., where, with ance of relief labor and lccal support, an un- suitable, small field has been enlarged seawall constructed to prevent wash- out and excessive flooding. buildings improved and enlarged to meet pres- ent needs and more nearly meet pro- jected potential requirements. Simi- larly, at other bases many material improvements have been effected which contribute toward safety in operation, facility of overhaul and maintenance of aircraft, and progres- sive training. “Naval Reserve aviation is an effi- cient organization and the board con- curs with the findings of the Federal Aviation. Commission in respect to this element of the national defense: “‘The Navy Aviation Reserve has what seems to us an admirable organ- ization of such a Reserve in its 31 Fleet Reserve Squadrons. numbering 251 officer pilots, and organized to fly as a unit for some 45 hours a vear in the fulfillment of a syllabus of mili- tary exercises drawn up by the Navy Deparument and to put in a sub- stantial amount of additional practice under the direction of the unit com- mander. These organizations seem to be close to the ideal of military readi- ness. The specific need here seems to be for additional funds for Reserve purposes.’ “The aviation cadet program now being undertaken will in four years begin to provide the inactive Reserve with suitable numbers of well trained officers to bring the officer strength of the Aviation Reserve up to re- quirements. This group of officers is the most important component of an expanded organization. But it is alen important that Reserve enlisted men. in numbers commensurate with the numbers of Reserve Aviation officers now undergoing training or to be trained, be secured. drilled and trained in aviation duties so that the training of both officers and men will go forward in an orderly manner and 1in appropriate numerical ratio. It is suggested that the best results will | obtain if the enlisted strength re- quired, say 10 years hence. be built | up by equal annual increments. The first increment of increase should be | authorized as soon as practicable in order to be selective and to encourage V-2 men to attend drills voluntarily and compete for selection.” Abigail Hartman Rice Chapter met at the home of Mrs. William W.
