Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the proceedings of a congressional committee hearing regarding the efficiency of the US military in 1916. The Assistant Secretary of War testified that officials believed the military should focus on training civilians and enlarging the first line of the regular army. Lawmakers questioned the plan, proposing alternatives such as enhancing the national guard, short-term enlistments, and compulsory service in schools. The Assistant Secretary firmly believed a national military system was the only solution to the US military's inadequacy. His proposal excluded state control and focused on building a force able to respond to any threat. The book offers a rare insight into military policy debates during a transformative period in American history.
