After World War I, officers in leadership positions were increasingly convinced that building a new army could not take place as a series of random developments, but was an enterprise that had to be guided by a distinct military policy that enjoyed the support of the nation. William J. Woolley argues that the key to the modernization of the army in this period was the National Defense Act of 1920, which provided a blueprint for desired change and demonstrates that the transformation of the army was due to four elements: the creation of the civilian components of the new army (the Citizen's Military Training Camps (CMTC), the Officer Reserve Corps (ORC), the National Guard, and the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)); the development of the branches as the structural basis for organizing the army as well as creating the means to educate new officers and soldiers about their craft and to socialize them into an army culture; the creation of a rationalized and progressive system of professional military education; and the initial mechanization of the combat branches"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x History $y 20th century. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x Organization. 610 10 $a United States. $t National Defense Act of 1920 610 16 $a Etats-Unis. $b Army $x Histoire $y 20e siecle. 610 17 $a United States. $b Army $2 fast 650 0 $a Civil-military relations $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 6 $a Relations pouvoir civil-pouvoir militaire $z Etats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e siecle. 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Organization $2 fast 650 7 $a Civil-military relations $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 830 0 $a Studies in civil-military relations 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A04996A8FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
