-------------------------------

The definitions in clauses (3), (15), (18)-(21), (23)-(30), and

(31)-(33) reflect the adoption of terminology which, though

undefined in the source statutes restated in this title, represents

the closest practicable approximation of the ways in which the

terms defined have been most commonly used. A choice has been made

where established uses conflict.

In clause (2), the definition of ''Territory'' in 32:4c is

executed throughout this revised title by specific reference, where

applicable, to the Territories, Puerto Rico and the Canal Zone.

In clause (4), the definition of ''armed forces'' is based on the

source statute instead of 50:551(2), which does not include an

express reference to the Marine Corps. The words ''including all

components thereof'' are omitted as surplusage.

In clause (5), the term ''Department'' is defined to give it the

broad sense of ''Establishment'', to conform to the source statute

and the usage preferred by the Department of Defense, instead of

the more limited sense defined by 5:421g(a) and 423a(a), and

10:1a(d) and 1801(d).

In clause (6), the term ''executive part of the department'' is

created for convenience in referring to what is described in the

source statutes for this title as ''department'' in the limited

sense of the executive part at the seat of government. This is

required by the adoption of the word ''department'' in clause (5)

to cover the broader concept of ''establishment''.

In clause (8), the term ''Secretary concerned'' is created and

defined for legislative convenience.

In clause (9), a definition of ''National Guard'' is inserted for

clarity.

In clause (10)(A), the words ''a land force'' are substituted for

32:2 (as applicable to Army National Guard). The National Defense

Act of 1916, Sec. 117 (last 66 words), 39 Stat. 212, is not

contained in 32:2. It is also omitted from the revised section as

repealed by the Act of February 28, 1925, ch. 374, Sec. 3, 43 Stat.

1081.

In clauses (10) and (11), the word ''Army'' is inserted to

distinguish the organizations defined from their Air Force

counterparts.

In clauses (10) and (12), the words ''unless the context or

subject matter otherwise requires'' and ''as provided in this

title'', in 32:4b, are omitted as surplusage.

In clauses (10)(B) and (12)(B), the words ''has its officers

appointed'' are substituted for the word ''officered'', in 32:4b.

In clauses (11) and (13), only that much of the description of

the composition of the Army National Guard of the United States and

the Air National Guard of the United States is used as is necessary

to distinguish these reserve components, respectively, from the

other reserve components.

In clause (12)(A), the words ''an air force'' are substituted for

the words ''for which Federal responsibility has been vested in the

Secretary of the Air Force or the Department of the Air Force

pursuant to law'', in 10:1835, and for 32:2 (as applicable to Air

National Guard), to make the definition of ''Air National Guard''

parallel with the definition of ''Army National Guard'', and to

make explicit the intent of Congress, in creating the Air National

Guard, that the organized militia henceforth should consist of

three mutually exhaustive classes comprising the Army, Air, and

Naval militia.

In clause (14), the definition of ''officer'' is based on the

source statutes instead of 50:551(5), which excludes warrant

officers. The reference to appointment in 10:1a(b) (2d sentence

and 10:1801(b) (2d sentence), and the words ''commissioned warrant

officer'', ''flight officer'', and ''either permanent or

temporary'', in 37:231(c) (1st sentence), are omitted as

surplusage. 5:181-3(b) (1st sentence), 10:1a(b) (1st sentence), and

10:1801(b) (1st sentence) are omitted as covered by the definitions

in clauses (14) and (16) of the revised section and by section

3062(c) and section 8062(d) of this title.

In clause (16), the words ''unless otherwise qualified'',

''permanent or temporary'', and ''in the Army, Navy, Air Force,

Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, including any component thereof'' are

omitted as surplusage. The word ''person'' is substituted for the

word ''officer''.

In clause (22), the definition of ''active duty'' is based on

the definition of ''active Federal service'' in the source statute,

since it is believed to be closer to general usage than the

definition in 50:901(b), which excludes active duty for training

from the general concept of active duty.
