field of the future — this is where

The new Army Air Force Enlisted Re-

Enlisted Reserve Corps program shortly
to be announced. This program will
provide opportunities for college men
to enlist in other branches of the Army
on a deferred basis and to continue
their education through graduation if

maintained. In case of necessity the
Secretary of War shall determine when
they may be called to active duty.
It is understood that men so enlisted
will have the opportunity of competing
for vacancies in officer's candidate
schools.
This plan has been approved in the
belief that continuance of education
will develop capacities for leadership.

regulations regarding established
R.O.T.C. plans.)
