And another one I missed. Passage of the National Defense Act of 1916

And, again, another one I missed, the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916.  The act, coming in the context of the crisis with Mexico, laid the groundwork for the expansion of the Armed Forces, call up of the National Guard, and the creation of the Reserve Officers Training Corps.

Lots of stuff going on in June, 1916.
