--------------------------------------------------------------------
The definitions in clauses (3), (15), (18)-(21), (23)-(30), and
(31)-(33) reflect the adoption of terminology which, though
undefined in the source statutes restated in this title, represents
the closest practicable approximation of the ways in which the
terms defined have been most commonly used. A choice has been made
where established uses conflict.
In clause (2), the definition of "Territory" in 32:4c is executed
throughout this revised title by specific reference, where
applicable, to the Territories, Puerto Rico and the Canal Zone.
In clause (4), the definition of "armed forces" is based on the
source statute instead of 50:551(2), which does not include an
express reference to the Marine Corps. The words "including all
components thereof" are omitted as surplusage.
In clause (5), the term "Department" is defined to give it the
broad sense of "Establishment", to conform to the source statute
and the usage preferred by the Department of Defense, instead of
the more limited sense defined by 5:421g(a) and 423a(a), and
10:1a(d) and 1801(d).
In clause (6), the term "executive part of the department" is
created for convenience in referring to what is described in the
source statutes for this title as "department" in the limited sense
of the executive part at the seat of government. This is required
by the adoption of the word "department" in clause (5) to cover the
broader concept of "establishment".
In clause (8), the term "Secretary concerned" is created and
defined for legislative convenience.
In clause (9), a definition of "National Guard" is inserted for
clarity.
In clause (10)(A), the words "a land force" are substituted for
32:2 (as applicable to Army National Guard). The National Defense
Act of 1916, Sec. 117 (last 66 words), 39 Stat. 212, is not
contained in 32:2. It is also omitted from the revised section as
repealed by the Act of February 28, 1925, ch. 374, Sec. 3, 43 Stat.
1081.
In clauses (10) and (11), the word "Army" is inserted to
distinguish the organizations defined from their Air Force
counterparts.
In clauses (10) and (12), the words "unless the context or
subject matter otherwise requires" and "as provided in this title",
in 32:4b, are omitted as surplusage.
In clauses (10)(B) and (12)(B), the words "has its officers
appointed" are substituted for the word "officered", in 32:4b.
In clauses (11) and (13), only that much of the description of
the composition of the Army National Guard of the United States and
the Air National Guard of the United States is used as is necessary
to distinguish these reserve components, respectively, from the
other reserve components.
In clause (12)(A), the words "an air force" are substituted for
the words "for which Federal responsibility has been vested in the
Secretary of the Air Force or the Department of the Air Force
pursuant to law", in 10:1835, and for 32:2 (as applicable to Air
National Guard), to make the definition of "Air National Guard"
parallel with the definition of "Army National Guard", and to make
explicit the intent of Congress, in creating the Air National
Guard, that the organized militia henceforth should consist of
three mutually exhaustive classes comprising the Army, Air, and
Naval militia.
In clause (14), the definition of "officer" is based on the
source statutes instead of 50:551(5), which excludes warrant
officers. The reference to appointment in 10:1a(b) (2d sentence and
10:1801(b) (2d sentence), and the words "commissioned warrant
officer", "flight officer", and "either permanent or temporary", in
37:231(c) (1st sentence), are omitted as surplusage. 5:181-3(b)
(1st sentence), 10:1a(b) (1st sentence), and 10:1801(b) (1st
sentence) are omitted as covered by the definitions in clauses (14)
and (16) of the revised section and by section 3062(c) and section
8062(d) of this title.
In clause (16), the words "unless otherwise qualified",
"permanent or temporary", and "in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine
Corps, or Coast Guard, including any component thereof" are omitted
as surplusage. The word "person" is substituted for the word
"officer".
In clause (22), the definition of "active duty" is based on the
definition of "active Federal service" in the source statute, since
it is believed to be closer to general usage than the definition in
50:901(b), which excludes active duty for training from the general
concept of active duty.

The words ", other than a commissioned warrant officer," are
inserted to reflect 50:1181(1).
[Clause (35).] The word "original" is defined to make clear that
when used in relation to an appointment it refers to the member's
first appointment in his current series of appointments and
excludes any appointment made before a lapse in service.
