Discussing the men of the United States Forest Serv 

 ice wlio have gone into the Forest Regiments and other 

 branches of the armed forces, Assistant Forester \\ iiliain 



L. Hall declares that no other class of men in civil life, 

 perhaps, was more nearly ready for military service than 

 were the foresters and the men employed in state and 

 federal field work. "These men had the pre])aration 

 which came from years of field experience," says Mr. 

 Hall. "They had all manner of problems to deal with and 

 every kind of emergency to meet. They had been sub- 

 ject to shifts on short notice, with new assignments in- 

 volving (lifticult problems and unknown conditions. 

 zAbove all, they had the spirit of service and esprit de 

 cor[)s. They were fit, ready and anxious to do their part. 

 All arms of the military service have absorbed men from 

 the Forest Service. Our records show 214 men now in 

 the army or navy, and the records are probably not com- 

 plete. 



"The Forest Regiments offered unusual o]Ji)ortuni- 

 ties which Forest Service men and others were keen to 

 accept. More were qualified than could be commis- 

 sioned. In the organization of the 20th the War Deiiart- 

 ment ajipears to have reached the conclusion that the 

 qualifications called for are principallv ex])erience in 

 sawmill work and logging. If this decision liolds, there 

 will be only limited opportunity for foresters in the later 

 battalions. But foresters and men of thoroitgh Forest 

 Service training are equally well prepared for other 

 branches of the military servicf. Especially are they 

 qualified to take their chatices in the National Armv.
