Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, initially written in 1900, explores the principles upon which other countries, particularly England, organized their reserve and auxiliary forces. After a century of inaction by Congress on the issue of improving militia systems, the author reports on England's successful reforms to President McKinley and Secretary of War Elihu Root. Englandâs preparedness included a standing army, a reserve, volunteers, and yeomanry. Its militia system is also examined. The author highlights Englandâs reliance on voluntary service while discussing the inadequacy of a standing army for home defense. Universal service was considered a solution but rejected on economic grounds. The author goes on to analyze how England's system of short service, coupled with the creation of a reserve and supervision of auxiliary forces, strengthened its military capabilities. Furthermore, the work details the impact of the abolition of purchasing commissions on the army. Ultimately, this book stands as a testament to the significance of military preparedness and the need for continual reform to ensure national security.
