National Guard Enlistment
(Juneua Empire)
Alaskas brand new National
Guard will not be called out for
a year’s training under the act
just passed by Congress. This is
the assurance Alaska National
Guard officers have received
from high Army officer. And it is
logical that the new Guardsmen
Should not be rushed into inten
sive maneuvers alongside other
outfits which have had years to
learn the military rudiments.
The Alaska National Guard
will not be organized to go any
where in less than a year. Even
after that it is unlikely Guards
men would be sent out of Alaska.
