Summary	Every able-bodied citizen has a part in the national defense of the United States. Any attack upon this country must find each citizen assigned to his or her place, trained in the duties involved, and resolute to carry out those duties regardless of the danger to be faced. For some enrolled services, long preparation and group training are required to assure effective group action. Persons assigned to work that involves cooperation with others must be identified by an easily recognized arm band or sleeve insignia. Groups and services for which special training in necessary are described briefly in this pamphlet. Members of these services will be enrolled and pledged to service by the Local Defense Council and will perform their duties voluntarily, without pay. Local groups and services will be authorized and their exact duties defined by the Local Defense Council. The general character of such duties and the volunteers required are suggested in the following pages. General uniformity everywhere in group functions and identifying insignia are, of course, desirable. [Signature] F. H. LaGuardia, U.S. Director Civilian Defense. Washington D.C. August 4, 1941.--p. [1].
