From an article in JAMA from 1908--After a struggle of four years on the part of the Surgeon General of the Army, backed by the medical profession, Congress at its last session was induced to give much needed relief to the Army Medical Corps, by an Act, approved last April, entitled "A bill to increase the efficiency of the Medical Department of the Army." Conditions in the Army prior to this were deplorable, so far as the organization of the Medical Department was concerned, as apparently no thought had been given to requirements for war. In fact, officers were far too few to perform the ordinary duties of peace times. To be capable of ready expansion in war time. the act authorized the Medical Reserve Corps, a peacetime pool of trained civilian physicians. This represented the first United States Army volunteer reserve and proved the forerunner for the entire Army Reserve system. The Medical Reserve Corps had grown to 1,757 officers, plus 146 on active duty, compared to 443 Regular Army medical officers at the time. By 30 June 1917, less than three months after the declaration of war, this had grown to 9,223 officers in the Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Officers' Reserve Corps. More
