MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS

Lieutenant-Colonel Greacen

Sergeants White, Siebert, and Krasowski

The ptarpose of the instruction in this department is not only to
give military training that shall fit young men to render efficient and
intelligent service to their country in time of war but also to spread
among the citizens of the state a thorough and accurate knowledge
of our military history, policy, and necessities.

The endeavor is to inculcate habits of discipline, obedience, loyalty,
self-control, order, and precision.

Military training improves the health and physique through the
habit of erect carriage, alert movement, and a certain amount of
incidental physical exercise. The student learns also what should be
done in case of injury, how to prevent disease and otherwise preserve
his health in camp and wherever else sanitary precautions are necessary.

The military instruction meets the requirements of the laws of
Congress for the state colleges organized under the act of July 2, 1862,
and also of the National Defense Act of June 3, 1916.

The Corps of Cadets is organized as a battalion of infantry forming
a unit of the "Reserve Officers' Training Corps." A student band
accompanies the battalion and takes part in its exercises on suitable
occasions.

The War Department details an officer of the R^ular Army as
Professor of Military Science and Tactics.

The course in Military Science and Tactics qualifies the student
who completes it: (1) for appointment in the "Officers' Reserve
Corps;" (2) for appointment, in time of peace, as temporary second
lieutenant in the R^;ular Army for further training; (3) for further
appointment to permanent commissions in the R^ular Army.

The course is required of all freshmen and sophomores, except
those excused on certificates of physical disability or by reason of
conscientious scruples. It is elective in the junior and senior years.

To be eligible for the Reserve Officers' Training Corps a student
must be a citizen of the United States and not less than fourteen years
of age. The following are ineligible: officers of the Army, officers of
the Reserve Corps, members of the Navy not completely discharged,
members of the States forces, and aUens.

Students who do not meet these conditions of eligibility, but are
physically able and not excused on account of conscientious scruples,
are attached to the Corps without being enrolled as members. They

are required to attend all its exercises, theoretical and practical, pro-
viding uniforms at their own expense.

The United States partly furnishes service uniforms to members
of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and transportation and sub-
sistence to those members who elect to attend summer training camps.
(Paragraphs 45 to 66, General Order No. 49, Series 1916, War De-
partment.)

All students excused from military training for whatever reason
are required to devote an equivalent amount of time to exercise in the
gymnasium.

The instruction is both theoretical and practical, the former being
designated as military science and the latter as military tactics. A
progressive program of training is carried out, as follows:

Theoretical

Theory of target practice; military organization; map reading;
service of security; personal hygiene; general military policy of the
United • States as shown by military history; military obligation of
citizenship; service of information; combat, illustrated by small tac-
tical exercises; infantry drill regulations; camp sanitation; small
arms firing regulations; marches and camps; army regulations; minor
tactics; map maneuvers; company administration; military history;
elements of international law; property accountability; court-martial
proceedings; international relations of America; psychology of war;
general principles of strategy.

Practical

Physical drill; infantry drill, to include the school of the battalion;
preliminary instruction in target practice; gallery practice; nomencla-
ture and care of equipment; instruction in first aid; signaling; elements
of fortification; military sketching. f

651-654 Military Science and Tactics

Freshman and sophomore years, 3 hours equated as 1, required
in all courses.

May include functioning as cadet non-commissioned officer.

655-658 Military Science and Tactics
