The Evolution of U.S. Military Policy from the Constitution to the Present, Volume II : The Formative Years for U.S. Military Policy, 1898-1940

Abstract

Tracing the evolution of the U.S. Army throughout American history, the authors of this four-volume series show that there is no such thing as a traditional U.S. military policy. Rather, the laws that authorize, empower, and govern the U.S. armed forces emerged from long-standing debates and a series of legislative compromises between 1903 and 1940. Volume II focuses on the major laws enacted in the early 20th centurythat changed the federal governments relationship with the National Guard, established what would become todays Army Reserve, and improved the Armys ability to expand and develop trained specialists.
