520    "The modern US Army as we know it was largely created in 
       the years between the two world wars. 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
