When must military orders and drill schedules be submitted?

The requirement to submit military orders and drill schedules immediately upon notification of activation is crucial due to several reasons related to operational readiness and transparency. This process ensures that the State Police personnel are aware of their obligations and can manage their responsibilities effectively. Timely submission allows for proper planning and coordination with other agency operations and ensures that personnel who are activated can be accounted for in staffing and resource allocation.

Moreover, submitting these orders right away helps maintain compliance with military and state regulations, enabling a smoother transition for personnel who may need to juggle their civilian responsibilities alongside military duties. This practice fosters clear communication between military units and state police agencies, ensuring that both the needs of the state and the requirements of military service are met efficiently.

In contrast, other options are less effective. For example, waiting a week after the order or only submitting upon request could lead to unnecessary delays in activation processes and potential gaps in operational capability. Submitting at the end of the year does not align with the immediate nature of military deployments and their impact on personnel management.
