Washington DC: United States Army, Center of Military History, 1989. Facsimile edition. Trade paperback. xvi, [2], 741, [1] pages. Footnotes. Charts (some folding). Tables. Index. This publication replaces DA Pam 20-212, November 1955. Names of two previous owners in ink on title page. This study is essentially a treatment of the manpower aspects of military mobilization. Mobilization is the assembling and organizing of troops, materiel, and equipment for active military service in time of war or other national emergency; it is the basic factor on which depends the successful prosecution of any war. The purpose of this study is to provide staff officers, students at Army schools and other interested persons with usable and detailed information on the procedures of past mobilizations and the lessons learned. The footnotes will guide anyone who wishes to make a more complete study of individual phases of the subject matter. Its primary objective is to provide a more comprehensive record of military mobilizations in the United States for the use of General Staff officers and students in the Army school system than has been available before in a single work. It was hoped that this study would assist mobilization planners of the future. The material was also expected to assist the thoughtful civilian in understanding some of the basic problems of national security. More

Washington DC: Government Printing Office, 1911. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 174, [2] pages. Footnotes. Appendix. War Department Document No. 365. Ink smudge inside front cover. Name in ink on fep. The militia of the United States, as defined by the U.S. Congress, has changed over time. During colonial America, all able-bodied men of certain ages were members of the militia, depending on the respective states rule. The year before the US Constitution was ratified, The Federalist Papers detailed the founders' paramount vision of the militia in 1787. The new Constitution empowered Congress to "organize, arm, and discipline" this national military force, leaving significant control in the hands of each state government. Today, as defined by the Militia Act of 1903, the term "militia" is used to describe two classes within the United States: Organized militia – consisting of State militia forces; notably, the National Guard and Naval Militia. Unorganized militia – composing the Reserve Militia: every able-bodied man of between 17 and 45 years, not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia. More
