Citizen's Military Training Camp (C.M.T.C). at the Camp Murray mess hall. Group of young men eating at tables. After World War I, young men interested in the military could receive training in summer military camps. These citizen camps were a neccessary measure after World War 1. The nation could not afford to maintain a standing army of the size needed during a war; or spare the time to train the hastily summoned volunteers needed in an emergency. The training camps were an adequate compromise. (T. Times 7/9/1936, pg. 14)

In these annual camps held in the summer, young men interested in military careers could train as well as reservists needing a refresher course. (T. Times 7/9/1936, pg. 14)
