PREFACE 1. These Regulations for the Territorial Army are issued under the authority of the Government of India and supersede the “Regulations for Territorial Army 1948” – (1976 Edition). 2. All concerned are responsible to ensure that these regulations are strictly observed and that any local instructions or regimental orders that may be issued are guided by their spirit and intention. 3. These regulations do not supersede or cancel any Administrative and Departmental Regulations, orders and instructions which are currently in force and which govern certain special provisions of purely administrative nature and are therefore not repugnant to the spirit of these regulations. 4. Users are expected to interpret and apply these regulations reasonably and with due regard to the interest of the service, bearing in mind that no attempt is either made to provide for necessary and self evident exceptions or for such matters as should be dealt with by local authorities. 5. Departmental and other Regulations are based on, and take their authority from these regulation. Should any variance arise between such regulations and the Regulations for the Territorial Army, the authority of the latter is paramount.

    10, George C. Marshall

    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #10 “George C. Marshall: Global Commander” Forrest C. Pogue, 1968 It is a privilege to be invited to give the tenth lecture in a series which has become widely-known among teachers and students of military history. I am, of course, delighted to talk with you about Gen. George C. Marshall with whose career I have spent most of my waking hours since1956. Douglas Freeman, biographer of two great Americans, liked to say that he had spent twenty years in the company of Gen. Lee. After devoting nearly twelve years to collecting the papers of General Marshall and to interviewing him and more than 300 of his contemporaries, I can fully appreciate his point. In fact, my wife complains that nearly any subject from food to favorite books reminds me of a story about General Marshall. If someone serves seafood, I am likely to recall that General Marshall was allergic to shrimp. When I saw here in the audience Jim Cate, professor at the University of Chicago and one of the authors of the official history of the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II, I recalled his fondness for the works of G.A. Henty and at once there came back to me that Marshall once said that his main knowledge of Hannibal came from Henty's The Young Carthaginian. If someone asks about the General and Winston Churchill, I am likely to say, "Did you know that they first met in London in 1919 when Marshall served as Churchill's aide one afternoon when the latter reviewed an American regiment in Hyde Park?" Thus, when I mentioned to a friend that I was coming to the Air Force Academy to speak about Marshall, he asked if there was much to say about the General's connection with the Air Force.
  • Military Rank Equivalency

    Military Rank Equivalency

    Military rank equivalency Although GS civilians do not have military rank by virtue of their GS position, regulations include civilian and military grade equivalencies for pay and protocol comparison purposes. Military rank or civilian grade often have no bearing on supervisory precedence—generally, precedence and authority are guided by situational expertise. For example, a GS-9 is considered comparable to a first lieutenant or lieutenant (junior grade) (O-2), while a GS-15 (top of the General Schedule) is the equivalent grade of a colonel or captain (O-6). Senior Executive Service (SES) and Senior Level grades correspond for protocol purposes to flag and general officers (admirals and generals). Grade equivalencies were created by the U.S. Department of Defense for the purpose of treating civilians serving alongside the Armed Forces who have been captured as prisoners of war according to the Geneva Convention.[6] Geneva Convention Category GS MILITARY Senior Executive V: General Officer O-7 through O-10 Service GS-15 O-6 IV: Field Grade Officer GS-14/GS-13 O-5 GS-12 O-4 O-3 GS-11/GS-10 O-2 and W-4/W- III: Company Grade Officer GS-9/GS-8 3 GS-7 O-1 and W-2/W- 1 II: Non-commissioned Officer/Staff Non-Comissioned GS-6 E-7 through E-9 Officer GS-5 E-6/E-5 GS-4 E-4 I: Enlisted GS-1 through GS-3 E-1 through E-3 Grade equivalencies have also been issued by the U.S. Department of State for other purposes, such as assignment of permanent and transient housing to eligible civilian employees.
