ABSTRACT
The constabulary concept provides continuity with past military experiences and traditions, but it also offers a basis for the radical adaptation of the profession. The military establishment becomes a constabulary force when it is continuously prepared to act, committed to the minimum use of force, and seeks viable international relations, rather than victory, because it has incorporated a protective military posture. Adventure training should be indulged in by the forces, and many successes in international sport of an adventurous type have been registered by members of the British Army. The most valuable of all types of adventure training is the expedition planned, laid on, and carried out by a junior officer with his own men. In the peace-time Army inspections are a most important part of the maintenance of efficiency. All units should be put through the most extensive and demanding inspections every year, and the results of these inspections should be widely published.
