It was taken under advisement.
Major Gen. M. S. Eddy, com-
■ mander of the Sfond Army, has
announced a st\-year plan for Hit
I raining of approximately 571,195
ground force troops of the Nat-
ional 'Guard in (lie United States.
General Eddy said actual train-
ing of the National Guard would
continue to be a state function.
Tile Army ground forces, however,
will detail regular Army instruct-
ors responsible for supervision ol
the training program
These instructions will be as-
4 signed to units down to and in-
cluding the battalipn level, tlu-
General explained.
The six-year program is design-
ed to standardize National Guard
training. It will go into effect
when individual organizations
reach an established quota of 1.5
jier cent ol the required number
of enlisted personnel and ,S0 p "i
cent of the required number of
officers.
During the firs: ai.ul second
years '■ training of units and indiw-
dualx will be on the company
level; during the third and fourth
years, on a battalion level; dur-
ing the fifth year mi ,i regimental
combat team and combat com-
mand level, and during the last
, year on a division level, accord-
ing to General Kddy,
