Military Organization

the Enlisted Reserve Corps may be placed on active duty in the same manner as are members of the Officers' Reserve Corps.

d. The Organized Reserve Units are composed of officers of the Officers' Reserve Corps, enlisted men of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, supplemented by a small cadre of officers and enlisted men of the Regular Army. The projected war establishment consists of twenty-seven divions, six cavalry divions, the required corps, army, General Headquarters Reserve, and harbor defense troops, and the major portion of the communications zone and zone of interior troops. In peace time, Organized Reserve units are maintained as cadres, with a war strength complement of officers and a limited number of noncommissioned officers. This personnel consitutes the nucleus of the war time unit. The units are localized, as nearly as practicable, so as to constitute complete higher units.
