Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Citizenship for Recruits Any efficient Army, large or small, must be composed of men so selected, trained, and allocated that every technical and military requirement of the service is met adequately and promptly. Disciplining the men in the habit of instant obedience, training them in the manual of arms, and drilling them in close order and extended order formations is more important than ever before, in view of the large number of men involved. In addition, the individual soldier, especially in combat troops, must show mental alertness, initiative, sense of responsibility, and devotion to duty to a high degree. The trained Army technician must also have these qualities developed in accordance with the requirements of his special work. Moreover, it is important that each soldier, officer, as well as enlisted man, understands fundamental business ideals and practices; that he is considerate, fair-minded, and reliable in his dealings with others; and that he understands his obligations as a citizen and is disposed to meet those obligations with fidelity and loyalty. As a basis for faithful and loyal service the enlisted man should know: 1. How to speak, write, and read simple English with understanding. 2. His duties as a soldier and citizen. 3. Enough of the long struggle for liberty to understand its meaning and to appreciate its value. 4. Enough of the sacrifices and achievements of America to inspire loyalty to the country and to the service. 5. Enough about human interdependence to inspire his disposition to act honestly, industriously, reliably, cooperatively, and thriftily. 6. Enough about current national and international problems to enable him to act intelligently in the discharge of his duties. 7. Enough about the mechanism of the American Government to understand his place and responsibilities in it. This course for enlisted men is designed to give them such knowledge and understanding of the army and the country it serves as will help them to perform their duties with intelligence and dependable loyalty.
