The conference, which was attended by delegates from men’s detachments and representatives of the Army, Police . and Health Departments set up a Dominion council to act as a controlling body. Rules and regulations to ensure uniformity in training were adopted. The commandant-in-chief and other statt officers are to be selected later.
