Commandant of Cadets Howze recommends President Roosevelt implement a requirement for military officers to undertake a three-day riding expedition with overnight camping twice a year. Howze thinks this will be an important motivator for officers to stay in shape, as well as give them a reason to be familiar with being in the field. Howze believes the vast majority of current officers are not currently experienced in the field, recounting a recent excursion to Fort Myer. Howze asks Roosevelt not to forward this letter to the War Department, as it will not lead to positive results.
