The regimental doctor assists the commanding officer in examining
questions concerning portion estimates and the like. He examines each
dietary estimate and attests the examination. The dietary estimates
are also controlled from a medical point of view by the doctor of the
army division. The Health Section of the Army Board has a final right
to examine the estimates.
Very similar regulations are in force in the navy.
Switzerland.
The dietary of the army in Switzerland is designed to correspond as
closely as possible to the dietary of civil life, the short periods of service
precluding any systematic adaptation to a different system. Observations
have been made mainly in connection with the training courses for
recruits (nine to fifteen weeks, according to the arm in question).
