DEFENCE FORCES
REORGANISATION DETAILS. SCHOOL CADETS ONLY. [Per Press Association ] Wellington, Oct. 3. General orders for the reorganisation of the New Zealand Military Forces at the dictates of financial stringency have been issued by Major-General R. Young. As a temporary measure, the Territorial Force will be reduced to a cadre basis, and the training of senior cadets will be confined to secondary schools. The official order contains an appeal for the wholehearted support of officers and N.C.O. ranks in maintaining the spirit of the past. The general divisional organisation will remain and the aim is to retain the means of providing a highly-trained cadre of regular soldiers for mobilisation, peace training and administrative requirements. The system will provide for the training of 600 officers and 2,000 warrant officers and N.C.O.’s of the Territorial Force, while 300 officers and 16,000 secondary school cadets will also be on the training list.
