THE JEFFERSONIAQN f 5, .s 2, Af E, W GREETINGS TO TRAINEES To all Trainees of the Regular Army, National Guard, Organized Reserve, RGTC, and CMTC, Greetings! ' The National Defense Act of 1920 prescribes the military policy of this country. It places the responsibility for national defense upon a small Regular Army and National Guard as the first line of defense and upon the great citizen army, the Organized Reserves, as the main line of defense. The RCTC and CMTC are training camps for personnel to be de- veloped for important assignments with the Organized Reserves. Now that the trained veterans of the World War are fast melting away, the summer training camps enter upon a role of growing importance. Reserve Oflicers come to 'camp each summer, or as often as ap- propriations permit, to review old and take new courses. The National Guard attends its annual encampment as a climax to a year of hard work. V Regular Army personnel, by its annual intensive training course ending in tactical inspections, prepares itself for its professional mission of impartinginstruction in the latest developments in the art of war. Each of you by your presence in camp exhibits an intelligent and practical patriotismg ' I ' , ,V May you make the best of your opportunities. Upon returning to your homes with an improved sense of your responsibilities ascitizens, may you spread to your neighbors the germ of patriotic duty-or as I see it, of patriotic privilege-gained by attending Summer Training Camps.
