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. 588 Description based on print version record. 590 JSTOR|bBooks at JSTOR Open Access 610 10 United States.|tNational Defense Act of 1920.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2014008227 610 10 United States.|bArmy|xOrganization.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140684 610 10 United States.|bArmy|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140642|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 610 16 États-Unis.|bArmy|xHistoire|y20e siècle. 610 17 United States.|bArmy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 533532 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Civil-military relations|zUnited States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100840|xHistory |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 7 Organization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1047777 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Civil-military relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/862889 650 7 Armed Forces|xOrganization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1351846 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 710 2 Project Muse,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96089174|edistributor. 830 0 Book collections on Project MUSE. 856 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctv2fzkpp2 |zOnline ebook.
