[blocks in formation]

The words "not in Federal service" are inserted to show that the revised section applies only to joint exercises involving National Guard troops not in Federal service, since 32: 72 was enacted before the establishment of the National Guard of the United States, in 1933. The words "troops in Federal service" are substituted for the words "troops of the United States". The words "officers in Federal service who command" are substituted for the words "commander of the United States troops". The words "post, air base, or other place" are substituted for the words "military post, or reservation, or elsewhere". The words "that place and the Federal troops on duty there" are substituted for the words "there or elsewhere". The words "including outdoor target practice" and "field and coast defense instruction" are omitted as surplusage.

§ 318. Compensation for disablement during training.
