DISCIPLINE IN THE RESERVE.
228. Reservists when mobilized or at training are subject to the same discipline as soldiers of the Territorial Force.

DISCIPLINE IN THE SENIOR CADETS.

230. Extra drills will be ordered, if necessary, for disciplinary training.
231. Any member of the Senior Cadets who creates a disturbance, refuses to drill or obey orders, or who in any way obstructs a parade, is liable to be dealt with under section 57 (a), Defence Act, 1909.
232. When a case cannot be adequately dealt with under paras. 229–231, officers commanding companies will refer it to the O.C. District.
233. A Senior Cadet must produce his Personal Record-book when called upon to do so by superior authority; failure to do so will constitute a military offence, and be dealt with accordingly. Lost Record-books will be replaced at the Cadet’s expense.

234. The names of officers authorized by Warrant from the Governor to convene or confirm General or District Courts-martial will be published in General Orders from time to time.

If no Territorial officer is forthcoming, the Adjutant of a Territorial unit will be considered an officer of the Territorial Force for this purpose.
238. No Court of Inquiry, Committee, or Board involving expense will be held without the authority of the O.C. District.

BOARDS OF INQUIRY IN CASES OF INJURY OR ILLNESS.
239. In cases of the death of, or injury or illness to, an officer or soldier during the performance of military duty, a Board will be assembled as soon as possible by the C.O. for the purpose of investigating the cause of such illness or injury. The proceedings will be forwarded to District Headquarters.
240. When, after investigation by a Board of Inquiry, a C.O. is of the opinion that any injuries incurred by an officer or soldier of the Territorial Force while on duty will lead to incapacity or loss of employment he may recommend to the O.C. District that the soldier be awarded pay and medical expenses as laid down in “Financial Instructions and Allowance Regulations.”

SECTION VII.—TRAINING AND EDUCATION.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.
241. All training will be carried out in strict accordance with the Imperial Training Manuals and Regulations issued by the Army Council for use throughout the Empire. The training will be distributed as far as possible evenly throughout the year.
242. At every Territorial Force or Senior Cadet parade, other than those held during the course of the annual camps, the attendance will be marked up against each man’s name in the Attendance Roll-book, and the book signed by the officer commanding the parade. From these Attendance Roll-books the monthly attendance return will be made out, and the necessary entries made at the end of the training year in the Record-books. These monthly attendance returns will be forwarded on the last day of each month as under:—
In the case of Infantry and Mounted Rifles, to the Adjutants.
” Field Artillery and Engineers, to the Adjutant F.A. Brigade.
” Garrison Artillery, to the Staff officer to the Coast Defence Commander.
” Signal Troops and Companies, to the Brigade Major.
” Medical Corps, to the P.M.O. of the district.
” Other units or corps, as ordered.
In the case of Senior Cadets no monthly attendance returns need be rendered, but the Attendance Roll-books will be examined from time to time by the inspecting officer and compared with the Record-books.
243. An officer or soldier may, in exceptional cases, be permitted to carry out any portion of his drills—musketry or training in camp—with another unit, if possible, of the same arm of the service, provided the written consent of the two Commanding Officers is obtained; an entry in his Personal Record-book duly signed by the officer under whom the training was performed being accepted as a voucher for such training.
244. An officer or soldier residing temporarily in the United Kingdom or part of the British Empire may, with the approval of his own C.O. and the local Commander of the Forces, be attached to a Regular or local unit or corps for not more than two years in succession for the purpose of carrying out any portion of the training required by para. 247. Such training will not count for the purposes of pay and other emoluments.
245. Week-end camps must be approved by the Officer Commanding District. No expense in this connection will be incurred by the Defence Department.

OBLIGATORY TRAINING.
246. The training-year will commence on the 1st June and terminate on the 31st May succeeding.
247. The amount of obligatory training to be carried out annually by all ranks of the Territorial Force, Reserve, and Senior Cadets will be as follows:—

Territorial Force.
(a.) Thirty drills (twenty of which will be out-of-door parades).*
(b.) Twelve half-day or six whole-day parades (all of which will be exercises in the field, except in the case of Garrison Artillery units, which will be exercised at the works of defence to which they are allotted on mobilization).
(c.) Seven days’ annual training in camp (exclusive of the days of arrival and departure).
(d.) Prescribed course of musketry.
The prescribed course of musketry (d) may be carried out during (a) and (b).
Mounted Rifle regiments, and such Infantry companies and portions of such as are composed of men living in the country, will

• Out-of-door parades may be carried out in the evening, and will not be devoted entirely to drill, but will include route-marching, outposts by day and by night, entrenching, signalling, driving, &c., and such work as cannot conveniently be carried out indoors. In the case of Artillery and technical corps, including Field Ambulance and Mounted Field Ambulance, the number of out-of-door parades may be reduced at the discretion of the C.O. The principle is that the drill-shed shall be avoided as far as possible.
