While modified by various subsequent enactments (see 208, post, et seq.), it is believed still effective to prevent the detail of retired officers to duty except under circumstances expressly prescribed by law (J. A. G. 010.3, October 20, 1930, page 79).

208. Active duty of officers retired for disability.-That the Secretary of War shall make a list of all officers of the Army who have been placed on the retired list for disability and shall cause such officers to be examined at intervals as may be advisable, and such officers as shall be found to have recovered from such disabilities or to be able to perform service of value to the Government sufficient to warrant such action shall be assigned to such duty as the Secretary of War may approve. Sec. 1, act of Aug. 29, 1916 (39 Stat. 629); 10 U. S. C. 935.
