If money permitted, it is agr opinion that it would be
a good scheme to have a cadre of Indian Ariqy N.C.Og here for at
least a year. On the basis of 2 per company they would be ad
ditional to the ordinary strength and would therefore not block
promotion. They would act in an advis6ry capacity If this
scheme were decided upon it is thought that they would notybe
obtainable.
5- Training.
(a) Training has been carried out as usual and is eonsi-
dered to be xtac satisfactory in every way for the work for which
the Force is intended.
Training Camps have again been impossible owing to short
age of Tentage and Transport, mainly the latter. Short schemes
are held and, ae reported last year, are considered more bene
ficial than long cemps, as with the type of man enlisted it is
not possible to hold their interest for long periods.

The results of Cadre Courses have been better than usual
as the standard has been set higher than previously and promo
tion stopped if men have failed to qualify at the new standard.
Individual and collective training has been carried out
satisfactorily•
(b) Signallers: All men, with one exception, have passed
the Indian Army Tests in Flag, Hello and Lamp, and have worked
well on schemes.
An Instructor, however, is really necessary to keep the
standard up. Since the departure of Jemadar Ahmed Sher we have
no one from the Indian Army capable of dealing with this branch.
The Signal

is good but is inclined to be a little
lost when dealing with FJLectrical equipment.
(c) Artillery: The standard, as before, is exceptionally
good considering the very low standard of education, All
practice shoots have produced excellent results. It is unfor
tunate that owing to lack of transport we have been unable to
carry out shoots at any great, distance from Bait-al-Falaj.
During the year no shoots were carried out with the
3 Pdr. guns owing to shortage of ammunition, none havwing been
available during the previous two years. This has now been
received and shoots will be carried out in the near future.
(d) Machine guns: The results this year show a consider
able improvement despite the fact that the funs are greatly
overdue for overhaul and replacement. It is hoped that with
the end of the war this will now be possible.
Jemadar Lashkaran is still in charge and is very keen.
The gun drill and general handling is as good as I have seen in
any Indian Army Unit.
The standard of Range Taking is below average and consi
derably more attention will be paid to this during 1946.
(•) Weapon Training.
