    In subsection (a), the words ``Any which were used during their 
service by such organizations and'' are omitted as surplusage. The first 
15 words of the last sentence are substituted for 5:202 (1st 45 words of 
2d sentence). The words ``the Quartermaster General'' are omitted, since 
the functions which, for the Army, are assigned by statute to 
subordinate officers of the Army, are, for the Air Force, assigned to 
the Secretary of the Air Force.
