This supervi­ sion and guidance was given by two Tactical Officers and three Tactical Non-commissioned Officers assigned to each Group. The Group Commanders and their subordinates quickly adapted themselves to the new situation and have now taken over complete control of their units. The function of the Tac­ tical Officers and non-commissioned of­ ficers has been relegated to observa­ tion, reporting and evaluation. The effectiveness of the Cadet Offi­ cers in accomplishing their additional responsibility has shown itself in many ways. There is increased interest and enthusiasm in the Corps. The numbers of discrepancies at drill have been de­ creasing. The time to complete supply transactions between cadets and the Detachment Supply has been reduced. The observance of military courtesies has increased.
