THE GARDEN ISLAND TUESDAY, JUNE 5. 1917
GUARD TQ BE
REOPiGANIZ
ED
new National
Star-Bulletin of
Regarding the
Guard plan, the
June 1, says:,
"Guard work upon the island of
Oahu is to be expanded to include
districts outside of Honolulu, espe
cially sugar and pineapple planta
tion districts, by the consolidation
of the 1st Infantry to eight letter
ed companies in Honolulu and
four companies in the couutrv.
This is one of the important an
nouncements made this afternoon
by Brig. -Gen. Samuel I. Johnson,
adjutant general, following a
morning conference with officers
of the army.
Gen. Johnson did not state what
companies will be designated for
the outside districts, but presum
ably the last four letters of the
regiment will be so transferred.
The 12 Honolulu companies will
be reduced to eight organizations
and members transferred accord
ing tosome plan yet to be worked
out.
The territory will still retain a
brigade, but a brigade of two
regiments instead of four as now.
There will be no reduction in num
bers, but instead a big increase
over the present strength. "It is
estimated that this will amount to
notj less than 4500 men, Johnson
will retain his title as brigadier
general. Practically the only change on
the outside islands through the
order received yesterday will be
reduction in the actual number of
companies and of officers. The
present strength is to be largely
increased. The general made this
clear today, as the new status is to
be on war strength.
Hawaii will be headquarters for
the new regiment, to be known as
the 2nd Infantry, and also of the
1st Battalion. The 2nd Battalion
will probably be on Maui, and the
3d on Kauai.
Regimental commanders will be
depended upon largely to recom
mend what officers be retained in
the guard and what one transferr
ed to the guard officers' reserve.
Towns and districts which now
support companies will support
platoons of 50 men each three
platoons to a company. These
platoon will drill inviduallv, but
reports will go in from companies.
Other organizations than infantry
will remain as now.
Army and National Guard offi
cers met this morning in the office
of Brig. -Gen. Frederick S. Strong
to give detailed consideration to
the war department order received
yesterday authorizing the cutting
down of Hawaii's guard from four
regiments to two, as was an
nounced in the late edition of the
Star-Bulletin.
Among those at the conference
with Gen. Strong were Maj.
Charles S. Lincoln, in charge of
Hawaiian militia affairs; Lieut.
Col. R. C. Croxton. senior inspector-instructor
of the 1st Infantry;
Brig.-Gen. Samuel I. Johnson, the
adjutant general of the territory;
and Maj. L. W. Redington. assis
tant to the territorial adjutant.
Men closely in touch with guaid
matters expressed the belief today
that the order, which leaves one
infantry regiment on Oahu, but
reduces the guard infantry strength
on Maui, Hawaii and-Kauai to one
battalion of four companies each,
were of the opinion that instead of
hurting the guard the order will
place it upon a practical footing
that will stand tor efficiency.
By the national defense act the
euard must be put upon war foot
ing within a short time. The first
step raising each company from 65
men to 81 goes into effect on luly
1. Later steps will raise them still
hicher.
A mmolete reeiment consists of
12 lettered companies and n ma
chine gun company, supply com
panv and headquarters company as
well. Bivine a total enlisted
strength of 2002. with 56 officers.
Four infantry companies on each
of the other islands will mean 600
men to a battalion when the full
strength is reached. Star-bulletin
