This executive order, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 1936-12-16, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Withdrawal of Public Land For Use of the War Department for the Enlargement of a Target Range in Arizona." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.

Constitutional Assessment: Scrutinized through Article II, Section 2, this action exercises the President's constitutional role as Commander in Chief. Early Framers recognized broad executive discretion in commanding military forces during conflict, provided it remains bounded by congressional declarations and respects civilian domestic courts.
