The series consists primarily of weekly reports on military training mandated under the state's military law, carried out throughout the state, and administered by the Bureau of Technical Military Training of the Military Training Commission. William H. Chapin was the commission's supervising officer for military training. There are also some annual reports, special orders, and correspondence of zone supervising officers (especially in Long Island and Hudson Valley zones) and information on special issues faced by the commission. Such issues include: problems arising from non-compliance, attempted enforcement of drilling, and efforts by the commission to discipline delinquent youth; attempts to rent drill halls; and the decision to eliminate military drill in schools which provided similar physical training under a male instructor.
