# ON THE ACTUAL COURSE OF MOBILISATION WORK

a) To propose to the All-Russia General Staff that in a week or two it submit a report with precise, brief numerical data on the course of mobilisation for each age-group, as well as on professional mobilisation. In addition to all other data, there must be information on how many persons of a given age were registered, how many were accepted into the forces and how many were exempted from call-up.

b) The All-Russia General Staff is requested to submit data explaining why, given the large number accepted through mobilisation, the number sent as reinforcements to the front proved disproportionately small.

c) To instruct the All-Russia General Staff to submit within a week precise information on: 1) what measures are being taken and must be taken by it to ensure that the fronts are given a sufficient number of reinforcements consisting of persons trained in military affairs in the next few weeks; 2) what measures have been taken to increase the number of trained persons of call-up age and to send them without exception with maximum speed to the front.

d) To instruct the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic to prepare immediately a report for the Council of Defence on questions concerning the mobilisation of those who will reach the age of 19 in August of the current year. The report of the representative of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic on this question is to be placed on the agenda of the Council of Defence in two weeks.
