Stat. 207.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
