The words ``post camp, or air base'' are substituted for the words
``military post or camp''. The words ``such amounts'' are omitted as
surplusage. The words ``National Guard'' are substituted for the words
``troops of the militia'', since the source statute historically applied
only to the organized militia (see opinion of the Judge Advocate General
of the Army (JAGA 1952/4374, 9 July 1952)). The word ``commissioned'' is
inserted, since 32:71 historically applied only to commissioned officers
(see opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Army (JAGA 1953/4078,
6 May 1953)).
