TITLE: Duty performed reports
DATES: 1926-1941; 1947-1950.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by year and month.
DESCRIPTION: These volumes preserve an accurate monthly report for National Guard organizations. They document attendance at particular drills or exercises mandated under the National Defense Act of 1920. The forms which make up these volumes were issued by the federal War Department for completion. Attendance formed the basis for the payrolls and for determining the strength of various units.
Drills include armory and field training, encampments and maneuvers, schools of instruction, band practices, etc. The drills are identified along with date and participating units. The attendance of each individual is also noted along with rank, enlistment date, and performance. Returns are further broken into tallies of numbers of specialists, enlisted men, and until 1937, caretakers and horses. Copies were sent by the commanding officer to the office of the Instructor for forwarding to Corps area headquarters. Other copies were sent to the state adjutant general and the federal Militia Bureau of the War Department.
