Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Trained Citizen Soldiery a Solution of General Upton´s Problem "The Causes of the weakness are as follows: First. The employment of militia and undisciplined troops commanded by generals and officers utterly ignorant of the military art. Second. Short enlistments from three months to three years, instead of for or during the war. Third. Reliance upon voluntary enlistments, instead of voluntary enlistments coupled with conscription. Fourth. The intrusion of the States in military affairs and the consequent waging of all our wars on the theory that we are a confederacy instead of a nation. Fifth. Confusing volunteers with militia and surrendering to the States the right to commission officers of volunteers the same as officers of militia. Sixth. The bounty - a national consequence of voluntary enlistments. Seventh. The failure to appreciate military education, and to distribute trained officers as battalion, regimental, and higher commanders in our volunteer armies. Eighth. The want of territorial recruitment and regimental depots. Ninth. The want of postgraduate schools to educate our officers in strategy and the higher principles of the art of war. Tenth. The assumption of command by the Secretary of War. The main features of the proposed system are as follows: First. In time of peace and war the military forces of the country to consist of - The Regular Army, The National Volunteers, and The Militia.
