REPORT OF ADJUTANT GENERAL

[G. O. No. 15]
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Charleston, October 22, 1921.
General Order
No. 15.
1. The following schedule of training is published for the information and guidance of the Infantry units of the West Virginia National Guard. It is enjoined upon all commanders to follow it in detail, for the follow- ing reasons:
(a) It assures uniform instruction and advancement. In actual ex- perience this method has produced excellent results-and in the minimum of time.
(b) It relieves the Regimental, Battalion and Company Commander of the many hours' work involved in preparing a good schedule, and leaves these hours available for a course of study which will be pre- scribed, with a view of fitting them for their present grades and pre- paring them for future promotion.
2. The schedule is for 13 weeks and covers the "School of the Soldied" training for all units of an Infantry Regiment. In connection with later schedules for Squad and Platoon training and in the Special Arms, which will begin February 1, 1922, this will fit all units to assemble in Battalion and Regiment for the two weeks in camp next summer, and start the more advanced training.
3. Due to the fact that the West Virginia National Guard was not organized and did not start training at the beginning of the season, and because it is not desired to give that or any other excuse for inferior appearance when in camp next summer with others troops, this schedule calls for two hours training per week. It is expected that all units will take at least that amount-and as much more as circumstances will per- mit. Units hereafter organized will need even more, as the year's train- ing schedule calls for 192 hours-including the 88 hours at camp.

ARMORY DRILL PAY.
1. In order to entitle officers to armory drill pay whose drill attendance is not regularly recorded on the weekly drill record (Form 367-b) and to furnish a basis for the certificates of the Federal Instructor and the National Guard Officers who must vouch for the correctness of the pay rolls, the following will be required, pursuant to National Guard Regu- lations and Militia Bureau Circular Letters No. 50, 1920, and No. 51, 1921:
(a) At the end of each period for which pay rolls are prepared, each officer, entitled to armory drill pay who is not regularly attached to some unit for drill, will forward to the officer who is to sign the roll upon which his name is borne, a sworn statement giving in detail the date, duration and character of the military duty performed by him for which he is entitled to pay during the period. The National Guard officer who signs the roll upon which has been entered the data contained in the affidavit of the individual officer, will submit the affidavit to the Federal Instructor when he submits the pay roll and insert sheet. Affidavit should be similar to the following:
I hereby certify and solemnly swear, that I have performed the follow- ing military duties in the period between and

(b) It will be the duty of all officers to see that their attendance at armory drill and instruction is duly reported as required by these regu- lations. (Par. 503 N. G. Regs., 1919.)
(c) When the services of an officer do not continue throughout the whole period, the affidavit will be submitted for that portion for which pay is due. No officer can be paid unless a sworn statement is submitted showing his monthly record of drill attendance or other military work.
(d) The nature of the work required of different officers, who do not attend armory drills or study the subjects prescribed in the regular correspondence courses, is found in M. B. Cir. Letter No. 50, 1920, and No. 51, 1921; Pars. 491-504, and Par. 302 (Pages 83-92) N. G. Regs., 1919. The latter paragraph is especially important during the first year after tentative Federal recognition, as it shows the subjects of the examination for final Federal recognition. Par. 114 N. G. Regs. 1919, gives further information concerning the duties of the State Surgeon.

4. Blankets, overcoats and woolen uniforms and other woolen articles when not in use must be packed in moth balls or other preparations to prevent destruction by moths.
5. All arm chests and packing boxes will be kept on hand at armories for emergencies, for packing articles not in use and for shipping articles to and from camp.
6. Blankets will not be unpacked for the purpose of instruction in making the "Pack," as the shelter half, rain coat and other articles can be utilized for that purpose.
7. Enlisted men will not take their arms apart except by permission from a Commissioned officer under the proper supervision and only in the manner prescribed in the descriptive pamphlet of arms issued by the Ordnance Department (W. D. Doc. No. 987). .
8. In addition to having small arms locked in arm lockers, arms racks and well-secured storerooms, they, as well as other property liable to theft should be kept hidden from public view and difficult to find or remove.
9. If an article of U. S. property be lost, damaged or destroyed by negligence or fault of an officer or enlisted man he shall be required to pay the value thereof or the cost of necessary repairs.
10. Reasonable care cannot be considered as having been exercised for the safety of property when it appears that the loss, damage, destruc- tion or theft was due to carelessness, willful neglect or failure to exercise ordinary foresight.

The following extract of "Suggestions for Training the National Guard," a publication of the Militia Bureau, Washington, amended to conform to the latest Tables of Organization, is published for the information and guidance of the National Guard of West Virginia.
By order of THE GOVERNOR. JOHN H. CHARNOCK, Adjutant General.
SUGGESTIONS FOR TRAINING THE NATIONAL GUARD
Pending the issuance of text books covering the late developments in war, and the revision of our regular manuals, the following suggestions are made concerning the training of the National Guard:
1. To be effective in time of war, military training must be uniforni throughout and must conform to certain basic principles possessing varying degrees of importance. A due sense of proportion of these principles and a full appreciation of the relative merits of these qualities constituting the standard to which the Army must attain are expected of all commanding officers.
(a) Patriotism is of the first importance. An absolute and unqualified devotion to the welfare and success of our country is an indispensable prerequisite that has always constituted the soul of our Army.
(b) The methods to be employed must remain or become distinctly our own.
32
1
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA
[W. VA.
(c) All instructions must contemplate the assumption of a vigorous offensive. This purpose will be emphasized in every phrase of training until it becomes a settled habit of thought.
(d) Time is important, but proficiency is the most important factor in all training.
(e) Professional knowledge leads to the greatest efficiency when intelligently applied in actual practice.
(f) The general principles governing combat remain unchanged ill their essence. The recent war has developed special features which involve special phases of training, but the undamental ideals enunciated in our Drill Regulations, Small Arms Firing Manual, Field Service Regulations and other service manuals remain the guide for both officers and soldiers and constitute the standard by which their efficiency is to be measured, except as modified in detail by instructions.
(g) Self-respect. self-reliance and resourcefulness are qualities in a large measure inherent in our soldiers and should be cultivated to the fullest extent in their training.
(h) All officers and soldiers should realize that at no time in our history has discipline been so important; therefore, discipline of the highest order must be cxacted at all times. The standards of an Ameri- can Army should be those of the United States Military Academy. The rigid attention, upright bearing, attention to detail, uncomplaining obedience to instructions required of the cadet should be required of every officer and soldiers of our Armies. Failure to attain such discipline will be treated as lack of capacity on the part of a commander to create in the subordinate that intensity of purpose and willing acceptance of hardships which are necessary to success in battle.
In striving to secure proper standards of discipline, officers will not lose sight of their personal obligation to provide for the comfort of their men. No proper opportunity should be lost to improve their condition and surroundings and create a spirit of contentment and confidence in the future. Every effort must be made to preserve at all times the highest possible morale, the external sign of discipline.
