BEAR FLAG REVOLT
PROCLAMATION TO GO

SAN F tANCISCO: “Government to be prosperous .. should
originate with these. who
friendly to its existence and who
manifest friendship by decided
action in overthrowing oppressions. “the people are its guardians, their officers are its serv~
ants, and its glory their common
reward.’’
These timely words were the
essence of a proclamation issued
on June 15, 1846, calling upon
the citizens of California to assist
in the establishment of a Canare
frnia Republic.
This spirited proclamation,

taken to Sutter’s Fort. where he

months, despite the protests of

National. Guard Training
Will Be Streamlined
The Nationa] Guard, together
with the rest of the\.Nation, believes that the sooner it. becomes
strong and fully trained, the
greater the chances for “world
peace, It is an old adage, but.a
thoroughly proved one, that ag»

When the National Guard was
first reorganized after the war, the
outlook was for a long period of
peaceful development. The sixyear training program established
for the Guard was considered adequate, #:
With postwar conditions came
the realization that the training
program must be stepped up. The
National Guard has now streamlined its training program to fit
present world conditions. Instead
of a. six-year program, Guard

Developed by the National
Guard Bureau, the Army Field
Forces, and selected officers from
complete training
the States, the new program in
effect aims to do in three years
what formerly would have taken
just twice that.
The new training program goes
into high gear in the fall when
more than 300,000 field-hardened
Guardsmen in some 4,500 Federally recognized Army units
throughout the Nation get down
to the year’s armory training.
3ased on a three-year enlistment, the new program involves
simultaneous training men at the
several levels af proficiency which
are characteristic f° the average
Guard unit including. tried veterans, semi-trained men and raw
recruits.
Under the new program, the
first hour of the weekly two hou
armory training period will
devoted to general training-as a
unit. During this period the men
will get. practical instruction -in
the team-work Which is. essential to the modern military unit.
During the second: hour of. the
weekly training period, the men
are divided: into specialist groups
for intensive training in the in«
dividual roles they will play in
the unit’s operations. These groups
are also separated into the one,
two, and three year levels so that
instruction does not have to be
repeated to men who have already
taken it.
Under the new training program, the efficiency of instruction
will be stepped up bécause spécialist training will be given simultaneously to the separate groups

The summer field training program, under the new plan, will
be designed to test the year’s
armory instruction under practical field conditions.
One feature of the new program, emphasis on the production
of more Company Headquarters
specialists, is calculated to remove most of the present administrative load from the company
commander, giving him more
time for training his outfit for
its combat function.
Uniform training programs will
be prepared for each type of unit.
All units . of the same type will
conduct the same number of
training hours in the Same essential subjects establishing a minimum. standard of training for
the National Guard as a whole.
