State of North Carolina Adjutant General's Department Raleigh General Orders No. 4 February 14, 1916. 1. The records of rifle firing of the North Carolina National Guard for the target practice season of 1915 show conclusively that steps must be taken to cause the proper attention to be given to this important part of the instruction of the men. 2. The poor record made on the range this year is largely due to the fact that officers have neglected to give the proper attention to preliminary drills and instruction and to gallery practice. 3. For the purpose of correcting this unsatisfactory condition the follow- ing orders are published and will be carried out by all concerned. All enlisted men will be properly instructed in accordance with Part V, Small Arms Firing Manual, 1913, paragraphs 317 and 318. This instruction will be followed by gallery practice. Gallery Practice 4. In gallery practice the course as laid down in paragraph 319, Part V, Small Arms Firing Manual, 1913, will be followed. Each man should be required to fire until he has attained a qualification of at least 90 points out of a possible one hundred and fifty (150). He may then be advanced to range practice. Gallery practice must be completed by May 1, 1916, and the records of such practice forwarded to this office in accordance with the requirements hereinafter prescribed. Range Practice 5. All organizations having ranges at their home stations are required to conduct range practice thereon. Firing should commence May 1, and every effort must be made to complete the same before the summer camps of instruction are held. Both instruction practice and record practice will be conducted in accordance with Part V, Small Arms Firing Manual, 1913. The necessary ammunition and target supplies, and score cards are now available, and will be supplied promptly upon requisition. Adjutant General 135 Records and Reports 6. All reports of firing, both in the gallery practice and record courses, will be forwarded promptly when the firing has been completed to the Assis- tant Inspector of Small Arms Practice, who is charged with the preparation of the consolidated report of the organization to which he is attached. Coast Artillery companies and Troops of Cavalry will forward their reports to Major Glenn Brown, Brigade Inspector of Small Arms Practice, at Greens- boro, N. C. Major Brown will prepare and forward the proper report to this office. 7. The following forms are prescribed: Gallery Practice (a) Form 70, D. M. A. Individual record of rifle practice.

This inspection is for the purpose of determining whether or not the Naval Militia is sufficiently armed, uniformed, and equipped to entitle it to participate in the Federal and State appropriations under the provisions of the existing laws. It is therefore of the utmost importance that all property for which the State is accountable shall be presented to the inspectors, so that the State may receive credit therefor. 3. The inspection will include all State and Federal property. All officers are directed to have same in the armory and so arranged that it may be readily counted and inspected. Commanding officers are responsible for all property issued to their respective commands. Each responsible officer will be present during the inspection of the property and quarters of his com- mand. A detail of at least two enlisted men should be provided to assist in handling the property. In order to expedite the work all property should be properly assorted and neatly arranged for inspection. Each responsible officer will prepare a list showing his accountability prior to inspection and will present the same to the inspectors for verification. All oil and grease should be removed from the rifles before inspection. The inspection of property and quarters will be made in daytime. The inspection of the personnel will be made at such hour as may be ordered by the inspectors after consultation with the commanding officer of each organization. The convenience of the men will be taken into consideration by the inspectors. 4. Attendance at this inspection is hereby made compulsory upon all offi- cers and enlisted men. In cases where officers or enlisted men are absent from home stations they will be directed by their immediate commanders to report at the nearest station. The commanding officer will direct all staff 138 Annual Report officers to report in person and in the proper uniform at the most convenient point for inspection; also to present to the inspectors an accurate list of all Federal and State property in their possession. Failure to attend inspection will be vigorously prosecuted in all cases in accordance with the laws and regulations. 5. The Paymaster will furnish the inspectors with a complete list showing all articles for the use of the Naval Militia now stored at the State arsenal. 6. Division commanders will have all records properly written up and will present the same to the inspectors. These records should show as follows: (a) The number of drills held during the calendar year 1915 and the individual attendance thereat. (&) A record of enlistments showing present enlisted strength and the number of men discharged during the year. (c) A record of all property for which the responsible officer is account- able.
