UNIFORM CARE AND PRESERVA- TION.. 360 PART ONE INTRODUCTION: ROTC AND THE US ARMY CHAPTER 1 , THE CITIZEN-SOLDIER TRADITION: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE ROOTS OF THE TRADITION Since 1776 our national military policy has been based on the 'maintenance of a small Regular Army during peacetime capable of being quickly reinforced in wartime. This policy is part of our citizen-soldier tradition which is founded on. the belief that every citizen should be ready to take up arms in time of national emergency. George Washington 'best expressed this basic Ameri- can ideas when he said that ". .. every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government owes his personal services toAhe defense of it." An essential 'Ratlike of this- tradition has been the policy Of plaCing our citizen - soldiers in effectively organized and trained units of a citizen Army Reserle. This type of reserve force has been deemed' necessary not only to avoid reliance on' a large standing.army but also to prevent citizen- soldiers from simply serving in the lower ranks of an expansible Regular Army maintained at skeleton Strength in peacetime. The anteeederit Of this reserve force, the Colonial Militia, was composed of civilians who were required bycolonial laws to per- forth military training and service. When threatened by hostile Indians or other enemies, militiamen would leave their civilian pursuits and take up arms for short periods of time in defense of their communities. In longer wars or emergencies, such as. the French and Indian War, the militia formed a base from which volunteer forces were drawn. During the Revolutionary War, the regular Continental Army consisted of such volunteer forces of citizen-soldiers; local militia groupt serving for shorter periods joined the Continental Army when their particular communities were threatened and they contributed at least half of the men who fought in the Patriot cause. 3 5 r Thus the citizen-soldier tradition has its roots deep in our national history. There are several reasons for it, one being the distrust. of the American people for large standing armies. This distrust dates back to our earliest settlers, many of whom came. to Ameriim to escape the tyranny of rulers who sometimes used military force against their own people. In setting up a free government, the founding fathers made certain that their armed forces would only serve and protect the people. While the Constitution of the United States empowered Congress to raise and support armies, it also made provision for state militias that could be called into federal service in time of war or emergency. And the founding fathers Clearly expected the citizen-soldiers of the militia rather than Regular Army professionals to be the bulwark of our .Nation's defenses. THE CITIZEN-SOLDIER IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Washington himself thought a "well-regulated militia" should be the most essential element of American military strength. He had, however, found during the Revolution that militia: units were untrained and unreliable, a "broken staff" to rely On. In 1790 and 1791 his Secretary of War, Henry Knox, submitted proposals to Congress aimed at remedying these defects and creating a "well-regulated militia," uniform in training and organization among the various states. Knox asked fora militia force consisting of all able-bodied white males 'between the ages of 18 and 60. This militia wouid be divided into three cluck* the Advented Corps of men between 18 and, 20, to be armed, clothed, and equipped at federal expense and trained in state camps for 30 days each year; the Main Corps of men between 21 and 45 to be mustered. and trained:four days a year ; and the Reserve:Corps of men between 46 and 60 to be mustered twice a year. Congress rejected Knox's proposals and in the Militia Act of 1792 provided instead for the enrollment of all men between the ages' of 8 and 45 in state militias, with the responsibility for organizing and training the men left entirely to the individual States. Each man was required to furnish hie own arms. The result was a very large body of "enrolled militia" lacking formal training, adequate organization, and equipment. The system did not produce the "well-regulated militia" desired by Washington.
