National Guard Bureau 

Washington 25, D. C, 30 June 1961 

To THE SECRETARIES OF THE ARMY AND AIR FORCE: 

The Annual Report of the Chief, National Guard Bureau, for the fiscal year 

ending 30 June 1961, is respectfully submitted. 

Twenty-one years ago the President ordered 300,000 National Guardsmen 

into active Federal service. The United States was not at war, but armed forces of 

the Axis Powers had already overwhelmed half of Europe. That conflict spread 

world-wide and our National Guard units were not to return home until they had 

fought across Africa, Europe and the islands of the far Pacific. 

By June 1950, when the Red tide broke across the 38th parallel in Korea, 

the strength of the reorganized National Guard had reached 370,000 men. As 

always in every emergency, the National Guard in the next few months had bolstered 

our country's combat power with units totalling 183,000 men, Army and Air. 

Additionally, thousands of items of equipment, including tanks, weapons, vehicles 

and aircraft were turned over to meet critical shortages in the active forces. 

' As this report is written, the Soviet Union is threatening to liquidate Allied 

rights in Berlin. Communist elements are causing increased tensions in Southeast 

Asia. The President had already called for a sharp increase in the readiness of the 

National Guard and is now directing an increase in the number of combat divisions 

in the Active Army to impress on all that the United States is determined to resist 

communist aggression in any part of the world. Once again, with its supersonic 

jets, guided missiles, rockets, and other weapons of modern warfare, the trained 

manpower of the National Guard is prepared to answer the President's call. 

Pages 5 thru 14 of this report show in capsule form the 30 June 1961 ready 

status of both the Army and Air National Guard. Following pages contain more 

detailed and comprehensive information in illustrated narrative. Appendixes include 

statistics and tabulated data. 

Gratefully acknowledged is the support of all those who have contributed to 

the continued progress of the National Guard during the past year: The President 

and the Congress of the United States; the Departments of Defense, Army, and 

Air Force; and the Governors and military departments of the several states, Puerto 

Rico, and District of Columbia. 

Entirely a volunteer force, the Guard's combat power reflects the sacrifices 

and devoted efforts of all its members. Modern minutemen, they proudly carry 

forward the traditions born more than three centuries ago. They stand READY 

NOW wherever a strong arm and valiant spirit is needed to serve the nation, in 

peace or in war.

Congress appropriated $663,464,000 for the Army and Air National Guard in Fiscal Year 1961. 

While a substantial sum, this represents less than two percent of the entire FY 61 Department of Defense 

appropriation. 

Yet, through the unique Federal-State partnership which characterizes the National Guard, these annual 

appropriations have made possible the development and maintenance of a significant portion of U. S. military 

strength, not only to augment the active Army and AirForce in time of national peril, but to perform essential 

service in peacetime as well.

"The Guardsman Guards Twice' 

MISSIO N OF THE NATIONA L GUAR D 

THE NATIONAL GUARD is rooted in the 

concept of the privilege and responsibility of our 

able-bodied citizens to be ready at all times to bear 

arms for the common defense. This tradition was 

begun in the early seventeenth century, with the development of militia bands in the various colonies. 

The framers of the Constitution recognized the importance of the concept by empowering the Congress to "provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia." National military policy subsequently enacted into law has served to enhance the 

availability and improve the readiness of the National Guard as a Federal reserve force. The general policy stated in current law (32 USC 102) is 

quoted: 

In accordance with the traditional military policy of the United States, it is essential 

that the strength and organization of the Army 

National Guard and the Air National Guard as 

an integral part of the first line defenses of the 

United States be maintained and assured at all 

times. Whenever Congress determines that 

more units and organizations are needed for the 

national security than are in the regular components of the ground and air forces, the Army 

National Guard of the United States and the 

Air National Guard of the United States, or 

such parts of them as are needed, together with 

such units of other reserve components as are 

necessary for a balanced force, shall be ordered 

to active Federal duty and retained as long as 

so needed. 

While its Federal reserve potential has been 

strengthened, the National Guard of each State remains constitutionally a State-administered military 

force. The dual State-Federal missions are set forth 

in National Guard Regulation No. 45: 

a. State—To provide units organized, 

equipped, and trained to function efficiently at 

existing strength in the protection of life and 

property and the preservation of peace, order, 

and public safety under competent orders of 

Federal or State authorities. 

15 
b. Federal—To provide named units 

and qualified individuals available for active 

duty in time of war or national emergency in 

support of the Army's war plans and a) such 

Othd times as the national security may require augmentation of the active forces

THE NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU is both 

a staff and an operating agency. As the chart shows, 

it is a joint Bureau of the Departments of the Army 

and the Air Force. The Chief, National Guard 

Bureau reports to the Secretaries of the Army and 

the Air Force through the respective Chiefs of Staff 

and is the principal staff adviser on National Guard 

affairs. 

As an operating agency, the National Guard 

Bureau is the channel of communication between 

the States and the Departments of the Army and 

the Air Force. 

The organization of the National Guard is 

shown on this chart. The offices of the Assistant 

Chief, Army National Guard, and the Assistant 

Chief, Air National Guard, are similarly organized 

into five Divisions each. The Administrative Office 

and the Offices of the Legal Adviser, Public Affairs, 

and Policy and Liaison advise and assist the Chief, 

National Guard Bureau on both Army and Air 

matters. 

The function of the National Guard Bureau is 

to formulate and administer a program for the development and maintenance of Army and Air National Guard units in the several States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the District of 

Columbia, in accordance with Departments of the 

Army and Air Force policy and the dual State and 

Federal missions prescribed in law and regulations. 

The Chief of the National Guard Bureau is 

appointed by the President, with the advice and 

consent of the Senate, from a list of National Guard 

officers recommended by the respective Governors, 

for a term of four years, and is eligible to succeed 

himself. The grade authorized for this position is 

major general. 

The former Chiefs of the National Guard 

Bureau and its predecessor organizations (Division 

of Militia Affairs, 1908-1916, and Militia Bureau, 

1916-1933) are listed in Appendix A. A roster of 

officers on duty in the National Guard Bureau as of 

30 June 1961 is attached as Appendix D. Appendixes B and C, respectively, show the State Adjutants General and United States Property and Fiscal 

Officers as of 30 June 1961.

MANAGEMEN T IMPROVEMENT S 

State Operating Budgets 

In March 1960, the National Guard Bureau 

initiated a financial management procedure whereby 

the States, beginning with Fiscal Year 1961, were 

to submit state operating budgets to support their 

programs. The budgets were classified under the 

appropriations headings: National Guard Personnel, Army; and Operation and Maintenance, Army 

National Guard. Guidance was provided by the 

Bureau to assist the States in the development of 

their annual budget estimates. The state operating 

budgets provided a basis for the issuance of annual 

funding programs to the States at the beginning of 

the fiscal year. This procedure facilitated the planning of State level operations, within available funds, 

throughout the year. Sound financial management 

was maintained through the initial analysis and subsequent quarterly review, by the Bureau, of these 

state operating budgets. 

In addition, the practice of approving program 

transfers contributed to more economical and efficient financial management by enabling the use of 

excess funds in areas of the most critical need. 

RFA Trainee Clothing Issues 

In October 1960, the Army National Guard 

adopted a new policy affecting the clothing issues to 

RFA Trainees at home stations and training centers. 

Under this policy, which also affects related billing 

procedures, the open allotment was cancelled and 

funding to support the issues at the training centers 

was given to the States, in the belief that the States 

could much better manage their own fiscal and 

clothing supply programs. The States were further 

required to supervise and control the quantity and 

quality of clothing issued at the home stations. This 

resulted in the reduction of excess stock, elimination 

of non-essential clothing items, and reduction of 

home station issues to unsized and easy to fit clothing items. 

Military Pay Voucher System 

In September 1960, the test of the Military Pay 

Voucher system, until then limited to selected units 

in 15 States, was expanded to the entire Army 

National Guard. Formal adoption of the Military 

Pay Voucher was accomplished with the publication 

of NGR 58, 31 March 1961, and NGB Pamphlet 

58-1, 1 April 1961. The system is an adaptation of 

the active Army Military Pay Voucher with minor 

variations to meet the particular needs of the Army 

National Guard and provide uniformity between the 

active Army and the Army Guard. The' new system 

spreads the workload throughout the pay period, 

eliminates a number of printed forms and furnishes 

each Guardsman with a copy of his own pay voucher 

so that he Knows exactly how his pay is computed. 

In search of further improvements, the Army National Guard is now testing the preparation of these 

pay vouchers on electronic bookkeeping machines. 

Year Around Field Training 

In FY 1961, five Air National Guard interceptor units accomplished their 15 days of field training 

under a year-round individual field training plan. 

Under this plan, originated by Texas' 136th Air 

Defense Wing. Air Guardsmen are called individually or in small groups for periods of from one to 

15 days as they are needed throughout the year, 

rather than the entire wing attending 15 days 

training at the same time. Each individual, however, 

performs a total of 15 days of such duty per year. 

Reports indicate that this type of scheduled 

training is advantageous in that it provides a flexible 

system within which commanders can program all 

available manpower and training days in a comparatively even flow, thus giving the constant support 

needed to perform unit missions. With fewer men 

on hand at any one time, in contrast to the manpower input peak normally associated with the 15-

day encampment, supervisors can give closer attention to individual training and personnel utilization. 

Because of the advantages it offers to units 

with "home station" missions, a majority of air defense units have requested authorization to adopt 

the plan in FY 62. Some air transport units are 

expected to participate also, because of the advantages of scheduling personnel to support transport 

missions throughout the year. 

Financial Support 

On 1 January 1961, the responsibility for providing financial support for all Air National Guard 

organizations was transferred from five regional accounting and finance offices, under jurisdiction of 

the Continental Air Command (CONAC), to the 

Air Force Accounting and Finance Office. Each 

unit is serviced by the AFAFO regional office near18 
est to it. As a result, payment of vouchers has increased in promptness and accuracy. In addition, 

many of the new paying offices provide on-the-job 

training for Air Guard accounting and finance personnel. This training is most welcome since it gives 

Guardsmen an insight into the practical application 

of training directives in their occupation specialty. 

Aircraft Conversion Supply List 

To aid in the many recent aircraft conversions, 

the Bureau's Air Guard Supply Branch has developed an equipment list essential to individual aircraft types. As a result of conferences held with Air 

Guard base personnel, the items and quantities required were determined with a particular view toward economy and efficiency. This system enables 

the Base Supply Officer and Base Maintenance Officer to utilize one listing of necessary equipment, 

rather than searching through several. The various 

LEGISLATIO N ENACTE 

Appropriations 

The 86th Congress enacted Public Law 86-601, 

the Department of Defense Appropriation Act for 

fiscal year ending 30 June 1961, and Public Law 

86-630, the Military Construction Appropriation 

Act for FY 1961. 

Several other bills directly affecting the National Guard were enacted into law by the 87th 

Congress during FY 1961. The following is a summary of the important aspects of this legislation. 

Claims 

P. L. 86-740 authorizes the Secretary of the 

Army or the Secretary of the Air Force to pay 

claims against the United States for damage to, or 

loss of, real property, including damage or loss incident to use and occupancy; for damage to, or loss 

of, personal property, including property bailed to 

the United States or the National Guard; and for 

personal injury or death caused by a member of the 

National Guard while such member is engaged in 

training or duty under sections 316, 502, 503, 504, 

or 505 of Title 32, United States Code, or under any 

other provision of law for which such member is 

entitled to pay under section 301 of Title 37, United 

States Code, and while acting within the scope of his 

employment. Similar authority is contained with 

Air Force Depots are also enabled to annotate the 

items and quantities they have available for redistribution, permitting individual bases to plan accordingly. 

On Base Modification Projects 

The Air National Guard implemented a program to have certain maintenance projects, normally 

performed by an Air Force Depot, accomplished by 

contract field teams. These included major modifications such as converting 47 F-104A and F-104B 

aircraft from a downward to an upward ejection 

system. A modification of this magnitude had never 

before been attempted outside an AFLC depot or a 

contractor facility. This modification was accomplished at an Air Guard base with a minimum of 

difficulty, saving the Air Guard and the Air Force 

approximately $500,000. 

D 

respect to claims resulting from activities within the 

scope of employment of those National Guard 

civilian employees whose hire is authorized under 

section 709 of Title 32, United States Code. The 

statute also provides for the time within which such 

claims may be filed and contains other limitations. 

Claims not in excess of $5,000 may be paid by the 

Secretaries; the excess over $5,000 must be reported 

to the Congress for consideration. 

Personnel 

P. L. 86-603 amends the provision of law pertaining to physical examinations for members of the 

Reserve components to eliminate the requirement 

for physical examination for members of the Standby Reserve and to permit the appropriate Secretary 

to prescribe regulations governing physical examinations for such members. It also authorizes, under 

regulations proposed by the appropriate Secretary, 

commissioned officers of the Army or Air National 

Guard of the United States, whether or not on active 

duty, to be designated as competent authority to 

order Guardsmen to active duty for training, or take 

other actions with respect to the Federal status of 

members of those components. 

P. L. 86-632 grants members of the National 

Guard who perform three to six months' active duty 
for training the same reemployment rights available 

to members of the Ready Reserve performing the 

same type and length of training and adjusts the 

time period within which leave of absence rights 

must be asserted after the performance of inactive 

duty for training other than an initial period of six 

A NUMBER of bills of importance to the National Guard were still pending in the 87th Congress 

on 30 June 1961. They included the following: 

H.R. 5041 will authorize the Secretaries of the 

Army and of the Air Force to furnish a uniform 

and flag for interment of National Guard personnel 

who die under honorable conditions, other than as 

the result of a service-connected injury or disease. 

H.R. 4774 will grant the same hospital and 

medical care, pay and allowances, and other benefits 

for members of the Reserve components who contract or aggravate a disease in line of duty while 

proceeding directly to or from, or while performing, 

inactive duty training or active duty for 30 days or 

less as are now provided for such individuals on duty 

for ordered periods over 30 days. It would also 

grant the same entitlement to benefits to those 

National Guardsmen and reservists who are injured 

in line of duty while proceeding directly to or from 

inactive duty during the scheduled period of training or duty. 

H.R. 4776 would amend section 303(c) of the 

Career Compensation Act of 1949, as amended, to 

provide that the term "permanent station" may also 

include the home of a member upon call (order) to 

or relief from active duty or active duty for training, or full-time duty performed under the provisions 

of sections 316, 503, 504, or 505 of Title 32, U.S.C. 

This will authorize the payment of per diem to 

members of reserve components performing a duty 

for which they receive Federal pay under the same 

circumstances as members on active duty. 

H.R. 4786 permits the Secretaries concerned 

to authorize travel allowances for inactive duty 

training, whether or not the training was in a pay or 

nonpay status. (Approved 25 August 1961 as P.L. 

87-164.) 

H.R. 4788 would authorize Reserve officers to 

combine service in more than one reserve component 

months of active duty for training, and after being 

examined for induction. 

Construction 

P. L. 87-57 authorized military construction 

for FY 1962. 

in computing the four years of satisfactory Federal 

service necessary to qualify for the uniform maintenance allowance. 

H.R. 4791 would modernize and clarify chapter 3 of Title 32, U.S.C, with respect to a courtmartial system for the National Guard not in Federal 

service. Although it is within their power to do so, 

many of the States have not enacted a comprehensive military justice code for their National Guard 

not in Federal service duty but have, in varying 

degrees, incorporated by reference the Articles of 

War or the Uniform Code of Military Justice. 

H.R. 4791 would amend sections 327-333 of Title 

32 to provide, in those cases, a system of discipline 

for the militia as contemplated by Article I, Section 

8, Clause 16 of the Constitution. The new section 

334, proposed to be added to Title 32, U.S.C, by 

this bill would provide that if a State has enacted a 

law providing for a court-martial system for its 

National Guard not in Federal service, such State 

law would be applied in place of sections 326-333 

of Title 32, U.S.C. 

H.R. 4792 would amend 32 U.S.C. 504 to include within the definition of National Guard schools 

such schools as the National Guard State Officer 

Candidate Schools, which may be conducted by 

National Guard officers. It would assure coverage of 

National Guard members instructing at or attending such schools. It also clarifies the authority of 

the Secretary of the Army and Secretary of the Air 

Force to provide for inactive duty training of individuals in addition to the 48 unit drills now provided by section 502 of Title 32, U.S.C. Since inactive duty training which will authorize medical and 

other benefits of section 318 of Title 32 in case of a 

line of duty injury must itself be authorized under 

section 502 of Title 32, broadening of the latter will 

extend the coverage of 32 U.S.C. 318 to include 

training activities outside the 48 scheduled drill 

periods. 

PENDIN G LEGISLATIO N 

20 
H.R. 5490 is an omnibus bill. As applied to 

the National Guard, it (1) provides the same statutory deferment for those enlisting in the National 

Guard between 18VS and 26 years of age as is now 

granted to those enlisting between 17 and 18'/i. (2) 

makes priority induction and the 45-day involuntary 

active duty for training applicable to those enlisting 

in the National Guard between 17 and 26 after the 

effective date of the amendments, (3) authorizes a 

flexible system of enlistment in the National Guard 

instead of the present rigid requirements of 32 

U.S.C. 302 (original enlistments of 3 years, reenlistments of 1 or 3 years). Under the bill, the individual could enlist for the entire period of his Ready 

Reserve obligation. Discharge and reenlistment, 

with its necessary attendant administrative work, 

would be largely eliminated by authorizing extension 

of enlistments, and (4) the bill would again authorize military leave for Federal employees on a 

calendar instead of a fiscal year basis. (Approved 4 

October 1961 as P.L. 87-378.) 

H.R. 6597 credits, for retirement eligibility and 

in computing retired pay, service in the Armed 

Forces before attainment of the minimum statutory 

age for enlistment. (Approved 25 August 1961 as 

P.L. 87-165.) 

H.R. 8765 amends the reemployment provisions of the Universal Military Training and Service 

Act to (1) reinforce reemployment protection of 

certain persons who may perform additional military 

service under present conditions, (2) remove a requirement that rejectees must request a leave of 

absence from their employer for the purpose of determining their physical fitness to enter the Armed 

Forces, and (3) assure that persons who are called 

for preinduction examinations and who are subsequently accepted or rejected are entitled to remain in 

their employment pending their induction or rejection. (Approved 4 October 1961 as P.L. 87-391.) 

H.R. 4785 provides the same authority to withhold, and pay over to the State, the employee contributions required of National Guard technicians 

under State-sponsored retirement, disability and 

death benefit programs as now exists under the Act 

of June 15, 1956 (70 Stat. 283, 5 U.S.C. 84d), with 

respect to employee contributions under State employees retirement systems. (The Senate added an 

amendment to this bill to provide for the authorization of funds for contribution by the Secretaries of 

the Army and of the Air Force to State retirement 

systems. However, such contributions shall not exceed 6'/2 percent of the compensation on which such 

contributions are based.) (Approved 13 September 

1961 as P.L. 87-224.) 

H.R. 1792 would exempt the cost-of-living 

allowances paid to certain caretakers and clerks employed by the National Guard outside the continental United States or in Hawaii from income tax in 

the same manner as similar allowances are paid 

civilian officers and employees of the Federal Government stationed outside the continental United 

States. The effective date is to be retroactive to 

allow a claim for refund or credit for any or all 

years after 1 January 1949 for amounts paid as 

taxes resulting from the inclusion of the cost-ofliving allowance in gross income. 

H.R. 4790 would remove the present limitation 

of 15 National Guard civilian caretakers employed 

at a single maintenance or storage pool. It would 

also repeal the provision that permits only one officer below the grade of major to be so employed. 

The requirement has been suspended in recent years 

by recurring provisions in annual appropriation acts 

for the Department of Defense. 

H.R. 7276 would extend the benefits of the 

Civil Service Retirement Act, the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Act of 1954, and the 

Federal Employees Health Benefits Act of 1959 to 

caretakers in the employ of the National Guard of a 

State, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

INFORMATIO N AND RECRUITING PROGRA M 

THE ANNUAL information program of the 

National Guard Bureau is designed to accomplish 

two ends: (1) to stimulate enlistments and thereby 

maintain the Guard at its approved strength levels; 

and (2) to keep the American public informed of 

the missions and accomplishments of the Guard. 

Some of the program is carried out on the national 

level. For the most part, however, the Bureau con21 
centrates its efforts on providing materials and 

guidance to help the several States conduct their 

own recruiting and publicity programs. 

Intensive recruiting efforts were necessary during the fiscal year to provide replacements for personnel lost through attrition. Particular emphasis 

was placed on recruiting veterans and obligors, and 

on the procurement and retention of junior officers. 

To illustrate the traditional militia role of the Guard 

as well as its current readiness, the chosen theme of 

the program was "Ready Now!" This theme exemplified greater emphasis on patriotism and service, 

and sought to tell not "What's in it for me," but 

"what's in it for the good of the country." 

A total of $398,000 from Federal appropriations was spent on the program during the fiscal 

year. Most of that amount was applied in contracting with a commercial advertising agency for the 

development and production of printed and graphic 

materials to be distributed to the States, as well as 

recorded radio programs and filmed television shows 

to be used by stations throughout the country as free 

public service support for the Army and Air 

National Guard. 

Printed Material 

The National Guard Bureau newsletter was 

changed in format and content. Now called 

"National Guard Information Topics," it is published in convenient fold-out form. "Topics" is 

designed to give a bi-monthly summary of the NGB 

information and recruiting program, and includes 

such features as "pointers" for State and unit programs and an inventory of information materials 

available in the Bureau. 

A new plan for distributing printed material to 

the States was instituted in FY 1961. Under this 

plan, the Bureau furnishes an advance copy or a 

detailed description of the item to each Adjutant 

General, with a recommendation of the quantity 

that may be needed by the State. After notification 

from the various Adjutants General of the quantities 

required, the Bureau totals the requirements and 

issues its production order on that basis. This plan, 

besides assuring greater economy and efficiency, 

serves to give the Bureau a better picture of the 

types of materials most useful to the States. 

During the year a variety of printed material 

was distributed. Seven thousand 24-sheet billboard 

posters were shipped to the States. The States also 

received 50,000 transit car cards and 10.000 wall 

posters with the "Up-to-the-Minute Men" theme. 

Thirty thousand posters which combined an industrial safety message with a Guard message were sent 

to the States and to various industries. 

As in FY 1960. National Guard trucks were 

again loaned to the U.S. Post Office to assist in the 

Christmas mail deliveries. On their sides. 5.000 

trucks carried banners with the message. "Season's 

Greetings! Helping Santa, Your National Guard." 

Special kits were developed to help the States 

publicize the annual observance of Muster Day 

during the Washington Birthday period. Press kits 

were mailed to 10,500 daily and weekly newspapers, 

radio and TV kits were mailed to 4.050 radio and 

television stations, and 3,200 supplementary kits 

were sent to National Guard project officers in the 

States.

A business and industry kit was distributed to 

the presidents of 2,600 leading business firms in the 

United States as part of a continuing effort to obtain 

greater employer understanding and support for 

employees who are members of the National Guard. 

The Bureau received approximately 1,700 unsolicited letters in response to this campaign, many requesting additional materials, and most pledging 

support for the Guard. 

The Bureau distributed 50,000 copies of the 

pamphlet "Your Career as an Officer" to every officer in the Army National Guard. Among the other 

pamphlets mailed to the States were 125,000 copies 

of the "Guardsman's Guide to Army Basic Training," 500,000 copies of "Take Six," 500,000 copies 

of an Air Guard pamphlet, and 75,000 copies of 

the fact sheet, "This is Your Army National Guard." 

Historical Paintings 

During FY 1961, the first oil painting in the 

National Guard Heritage series was completed. 

Painted by Mr. Ken Riley and entitled ". . . the Whites 

of Their Eyes!" it depicts the stand of the colonial 

militiamen in the Battle of Bunker Hill. One million 

postcard reproductions of this painting were distributed to the States for use by Guardsmen at 

Annual Field Training. A controlled, prestige distribution is planned for this item. (See p. 50.) 

Displays 

Two stationary displays, previously built, continued to be used at fairs, festivals, and other public 

events during the fiscal year. In addition, a mobile 

bus display depicting the role of the militia in the 

Civil War was constructed for use at re-enactments 

and other observances throughout the period of the 

Civil War Centennial. 

Radio 

The Bureau continued to develop high quality 

radio programs, starring some of the nation's leading entertainers. The programs included advertising, 

recruiting and public information messages and were 

distributed to stations for free public service presentation. 

The principal radio activity was the "Let's Go 

To Town" series of 15-minute shows in which ten 

23 
singing stars and ten name bands each performed 

four shows. Performers included: 

Tony Bennett with Buddy Morrow 

Anita Bryant with Guy Lombardo 

June Christy with Stan Kenton 

Rosemary Clooney with Nelson Riddle 

Jill Corey with Billy Maxted 

Hi-Lo's with George Shearing 

Giselle McKenzie with Les Brown 

Les Paul and Mary Ford with Buddy Rich 

Andy Williams with Quincy Jones 

Joe Williams with Count Basie 

From these 40 shows, selections were edited to 

form the 12-show summer series, "All Star Salute," 

with Bill Cullen of NBC as master of ceremonies. 

The combined series of 52 shows was distributed to 

some 1,700 stations on a request basis. 

The Air Guard show, "Lombardoland, U.S.A.," 

was continued for the tenth consecutive year. 

Featuring the popular Guy Lombardo, this series of 

52 half-hour shows was broadcast by more than 250 

stations of the Mutual Broadcasting System. 

In addition, a special set of 5-minute shows 

publicizing Muster Day was released to each of the 

3,444 commercial stations in the country. 

A survey of 1,250 stations was conducted in an 

effort to determine the most effective types of future 

programming for the Guard. A 71.5 percent response, much higher than expected, was received 

from the stations. 

Television 

The major television event was the "Inside 

Basketball" show. This weekly 15-minute show 

featured Bud Wilkinson and the U.S. Olympic 

Championship Basketball Team. 

The Army's television series, "The Big Picture," 

featured a half-hour film on the National Guard entitled "I am the Guard." 

The series of animated spot announcements 

featuring the "two little fellas" was used for the 

second year, this year placing emphasis on veteran 

recruitment. This popular series placed third in the 

public service category in the American Television 

Commercials Festival, and was rated First among 

military entries. 

Information Planning Group 

In May 1961, the NGB Information Planning 

Group held its second annual session. The Group 

included Colonel James B. Deerin, New Jersey, 

chairman; Lt. Col. W. Warren Knox, Jr., New York; 

Lt. Col. Charles S. Manooch, Jr., North Carolina; 

Major Art Swan, Utah; artd Major Lloyd L. Johnson, Nebraska. The planners reviewed the FY 1961 

program with National Guard Bureau and agency 

personnel and laid plans for FY 62 and future 

programs. 

Other Activities 

The Office of Public Affairs, National Guard 

Bureau, provided a wide range of services to keep 

the general public informed about the National 

Guard and its activities. News releases, speeches, 

periodical and encyclopedia articles, and other 

material were cleared or released through the Departments of Army, Air Force, and Defense. Information activities also included liaison with members 

of Congress, military and other Federal government 

agencies, State and local officials, and private citizens to provide answers to inquiries on virtually all 

aspects of National Guard organization, personnel, 

installations, equipment, and operations. 

Other activities of the Office of Public Affairs 

included the maintenance of historical documents 

for use in information programs and as an aid to 

scholars and military writers, the supervision of the 

heraldic and insignia programs of the Army and Air 

National Guard, and the promulgation of information relating to policy in the fields of insignia and 

historical material. 

TROPHIE S AN D AWARD S PROGRA M 

THE PURPOSE of the trophies and awards 

program is to instill a spirit of wholesome rivalry 

among individuals, units, and organizations of the 

Army National Guard and to stimulate their interest 

in such fields as marksmanship, technical proficiency 

in training, and maintenance. To this end, trophies 

and awards are given annually by the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau, and other sponsoring agencies to 

24 
The National Guard Association Trophy, one of the 

many awards given to outstanding Guardsmen each year 

as a stimulus to continued proficiency and spirit. 

outstanding personnel and units in both the Army 

and the Air National Guard. 

The National Guard Bureau is the coordinating 

agency for activities conducted under this program. 

Pamphlets and letters announcing trophy and award 

winners are published after each competition. 

Supplementary information is made available for release to the press. 

Army National Guard personnel compete annually in rifle, carbine, and pistol marksmanship at 

State, Army Area, and National levels under the 

sponsorship of affiliated organizations, including the 

Military Police Association, the National Rifle Association, the National Board for the Promotion of 

Rifle Practice, the National Guard Association of 

the United States, and the Association of the United 

States Army. In 1961, 34 State pistol teams and 47 

State rifle teams from both the Army Guard and Air 

Guard participated in the National Matches held at 

Camp Perry, Ohio.

REGULATION S 

IN THE ADMINISTRATION of National 

Guard affairs, National Guard Regulations and Air 

National Guard Regulations govern the National 

Guard when not in Federal service. These regulations announce the approved policies of the Department of the Army and Department of the Air Force 

pertaining to the Army and Air National Guard. 

Additionally, certain Army Regulations and Air 

Force Regulations govern the Army and Air National Guard when specifically applied by the Chief, 

National Guard Bureau. 

During the fiscal year, the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau, has revised a number of existing 

regulations and issued some new regulations, covering administration, personnel, organization, operations, finance, training, and logistical matters, and 

in addition NGB Pamphlets and Air National Guard 

letters which amplify the regulations. A detailed 

resume is contained in Appendix F. 

25 
STATE SERVIC E 

THROUGHOUT its long history the National 

Guard of the several States has responded to State 

and local emergencies. During Fiscal Year 61 the 

Guard again covered a wide gamut of State services, 

including snow emergencies, floods, tornadoes, 

search and rescue missions, mercy missions, explosions, fires, civil disorders, etc. The cost of these 

activities is borne entirely by the States. A few accounts of typical State services follow: 

Snow Emergencies 

When 18 inches of snow fell in Lovington, New 

Mexico, members of local Battery A, 1st Automatic 

Weapons Battalion. 200th Artillery, and the nearby 

Headquarters and Headquarters Battery of the 1st 

Battalion, pitched in with trucks, a wrecker, and 

M42 multiple gun carriages. These Guardsmen 

worked through the night helping stranded motorists 

and towing snowbound cars. Others were called out 

the next morning to drive trucks or accompany 

school buses on their rounds. 

In Indiana. Guardsmen helped provide emergency transportation when snow buried wide sections of the State. A diabetic needing insulin had it 

delivered to him in a helicopter manned by Captain 

Richard Gardner and Brigadier General John S. 

Anderson, Indiana's Adjutant General. 

White Mountain. Alaska, faced the prospect of 

having no heat in the homes of its 200 residents last 

winter when the summer supply ship failed to make 

its annual fuel-delivery call. Men of Nome's Company B, 1st Scout Battalion, flew into the area in 

small Army planes to prepare parachute drop zones. 

Members of the Army's Quartermaster Air Items 

Branch rigged the oildrums into cargo packs and the 

Alaska Air Guard parachuted the packs—containing 

more than 3,000 gallons of oil—to the grateful inhabitants. 

Floods and Tornadoes 

Oklahoma was hit repeatedly by tornadoes in 

the Spring of 1960. Components of the 1st and 2d 

Battle Groups, 180th Infantry, were called out to 

patrol shattered towns, maintain roadblocks, haul 

in pure water, and operate field messes for the 

homeless. 

In Alabama, floods threatened the State's entire river system. Helicopters of Headquarters. 31st 

Infantry Division Trains, and the 1st Howitzer 

Battalion, 203d Artillery, rescued farmers from 

their flooded properties. Fort Dixie Graves was 

used to house and feed 350 people. A number of 

other Alabama units worked to evacuate people, as 

well as remove, or feed by air, thousands of head 

of cattle. 

In Mississippi, Guardsmen from the 3656th 

Ordnance Company; Headquarters and Headquarters 

Battery. 5th Howitzer Battalion. 114th Artillery; 

Company B. 890th Engineer Battalion; and the 

101st Area Headquarters, evacuated more than 

5,000 people from a 15-square-mile area in a 'roundthe-clock operation, sometimes in chin-deep water. 

Kansas was plagued with a tornado and floods 

in nine cities. More than 300 Guardsmen from nine 

Kansas units worked to contain the floods and maintain order. In addition to these natural calamities, a 

bank in Halstead collapsed in a gas explosion, blowing $7,200 into the streets. In response to a plea 

from the Sheriff. Company C of the 1st Battle 

Group, 137th Infantry, set up a cordon around the 

block and began combing the area for scattered 

currency. Within two hours, they found and bagged 

all but $4 of the original amount. 

26 
Search and Rescue 

A husband and wife with their three small 

children were out on a Sunday fishing expedition on 

the Muskingum River near Zanesville, Ohio, when 

the engine on their ponton raft died and they were 

pinned against the face of the Ellis Dam. Phone 

calls by spectators brought two Ohio Army Guard 

helicopters from Scott Field within an hour. One 

Guardsman, riding inside an auto tire suspended 

from a helicopter, lifted the three children to safety, 

so that the parents could then be pulled to shore on 

a line. 

Prison Revolt 

At Minnesota State Prison, 110 prisoners sat 

down on the baseball diamond and refused to move 

until their demands were met. One hundred and 

fifty Guardsmen from Headquarters Company and 

Company B, 1st Battle Group, 135th Infantry, 

marched on the prisoners in riot formation with 

bayonets fixed. Without violence, the prisoners 

quietly filed back into custody. 

Mercy Mission 

The 19-year-old son of an Air Force major lay 

critically ill of Hodgkins Disease in the hospital at 

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. An Air Force 

doctor, Captain P. R. Coggins, who was needed to 

administer a special drug to the youth, was several 

hundred miles away in Philadelphia. Captain John 

J. Secamiglio, of Philadelphia's 111th Fighter Group, 

flew Captain Coggins in a jet trainer to WrightPatterson, where an ambulance rushed him to the 

hospital. The patient was reached in time and recovered. The "unstinting help" of Captain Secamiglio 

and other members of the 111th, said Captain 

Coggins later, "without question saved the life of the 

19-year-old patient." 

Explosions and Fires 

Explosions rocked the Utah countryside early 

on a Sunday morning in May when three microwave 

communications relay stations were destroyed in acts 

of sabotage by a pair of fanatics. That same day, 

Utah Guardsmen moved out to search and guard 

other relay stations over a 250-mile chain in that 

State. In New Mexico, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, 

and Wyoming, Guardsmen rushed to scores of similar installations, protecting them until telephone 

company security forces could take over later in the 

week. The saboteurs were apprehended the following month. 

More than 200,000 acres of Western forestland 

were charred by forest fires during a prolonged 

summer dry spell. Four hundred Oregon Guardsmen, mostly from the 1st Battle Group, 186th Infantry, volunteered to help man the fire lines, operate kitchens for fire crews, and haul manpower and 

equipment from one hot spot to another. The 

Guardsmen also provided 19 trucks, 3 water trailers 

and 4 complete kitchens to the fire-fighting organization. Guardsmen from the State of Washington 

also joined in the fire fighting. 

Civil Disorders 

When 12,000 teenagers rioted at the annual 

Newport, Rhode Island, Jazz Festival, some 200 

Guardsmen joined Marines and local police to quell 

the disorders. They included members of the 143d 

Air Base Squadron and the 102d Aircraft Control 

and Warning Squadron, Rhode Island Air National 

Guard; as well as Companies D and E, 118th Engineer Battalion; Battery A, 1st Automatic Weapons 

Battalion, 243d Artillery; the 118th Military Police 

Company; and Company A, 118th Engineer Battalion. The Guardsmen worked most of one night, 

battling the rioters and setting up blockades on 

routes into the city until order was restored next 

morning. 

Martial law was declared in Montgomery, Alabama, by Governor John Patterson in May, 1961, 

when "Freedom Rider" bus trips had resulted in 

rioting and bloodshed by club-swinging mobs in 

Birmingham and Montgomery. 

Alabama National Guardsmen, led personally 

by the Adjutant General of the State, Major General 

Henry V. Graham, moved into Montgomery on May 

21, 1961, and, in nine tension-filled days, restored 

peace and order to the community. Guardsmen dispersed a mob threatening to attack a church filled 

with Negroes. Later, in an armed convoy of sixteen 

patrol cars with LI9 aircraft and H23 helicopters 

overhead, they escorted the riders to the Mississippi 

border. There, a contingent of the Mississippi Guard, 

led by that State's Adjutant General, Major General 

27 
William P. Wilson, took over and escorted the riders 

to Jackson. 

In the course of their period of service, the initial contingent of 200 Alabama Guardsmen grew to 

1,400. Units included the Air Guard's 160th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron; and, from the Army 

Guard, the State Headquarters and Headquarters 

Detachment, 31st Infantry Division; 231st Armor 

Group; 373d Ordnance Detachment; 118th Special 

Forces Operating Detachment; 31st Aviation ComDURING THE YEARS since the end of the 

Korean War, the National Guard has enjoyed a 

closer working relationship with the active Army 

and Air Force than at any other time in the Guard's 

history. The sustained support given by the active 

components has been a major factor in making the 

Guard into an integral part of our Nation's defense 

team and in bringing its units to an unprecedented 

level of readiness. 

Army National Guard 

The essence of the "One Army" concept was 

succinctly expressed by General Maxwell D. Taylor, 

special military adviser to the President, who, while 

serving as Army Chief of Staff, said: "The Army 

National Guard, the Army Reserve, and the active 

Army make up a single integrated Army with a 

single task to perform." 

In the area of direct support, the active Army 

contributes both manpower and equipment throughout the year to the Guard. Army recruiters help to 

fill our manpower requirements when assistance is 

requested by the States. Approximately 2,600 active 

Army personnel are assigned year-round to adviser 

duties with our units, and training evaluators are 

assigned to every unit during annual field training. 

All Army Guard units receive General Inspections 

annually by Army Area representatives. Thousands 

of Guardsmen attend active Army service schools 

each year and many thousands' more take extension 

courses conducted by these schools. Lesson plans 

and examinations for our State-operated officer 

candidate schools are prepared by the U.S. Army 

pany; Headquarters and Company A of the 731st 

Ordnance Battalion; 31st Quartermaster Company; 

Headquarters, 1st Howitzer Battalion, 203d Artillery; 2d Battle Group, 167th Infantry; and the 

156th Military Police Battalion. General Graham 

had explicitly cautioned his men against "taking 

sides." The Guardsmen's impartial, efficient work 

earned praise from-the Nation's press as well as 

from State and Federal authorities, including the 

U. S. Attorney General. 

Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia. The 

Army supplies the Army Guard with all of its 

ammunition requirements, and provides heavy 

equipment from its inventory without reimbursement, augmenting it with additional equipment during annual field training. 

Not all support, however, can be measured in 

terms of man-hours and equipment. In recent 

years, the policy of both the Army and Air Force 

has been to assign the Guard vital roles in the dayto-day missions of the active establishment, thereby 

further integrating the Guard into the defense team 

and providing most realistic training. Selected units 

of the Army National Guard have been earmarked 

for earliest deployment with the Army's Strategic 

Army Force. Guard NIKE units are filling an active 

role 'round-the-clock in the active air defenses of the 

Nation. Army Guard aircraft maintenance units, 

moreover, are supporting flying elements of the 

U. S. Army Reserve. 

Air National Guard 

The Air National Guard has a similarly integral 

relationship with the active Air Force. General 

Curtis E. LeMay, Chief of Staff, United States Air 

Force, stated: "We have at the present time the 

strongest, best equipped, and best trained Reserve 

and National Guard units that we have ever had in 

our history." 

To accomplish and maintain this standing, the 

Air Force has been providing the Air Guard with 

advisers, recruiting support, school facilities, and 

modern equipment, including such late-model aircraft as the F-100, F-102, and F-104. 

ACTIV E ARM Y AN D AI R FORCE SUPPOR T 

2S 
Like the Army Guard, the Air Guard participates in a number of the missions of the active establishment. During Fiscal Year 1961, Air National 

Guard units performed several firepower exercises at 

Army schools. Photographic missions were performed by the Air Guard in conjunction with the 

active Air Force. Our units also participated in 

"Swift Strike" and several other Army-Air Force 

Joint Exercises during the fiscal year. 

There are also missions of a permanent nature. 

Air defense units of the Air National Guard stand 

24-hour-a-day runway alert in key areas of the 

United States, ready to "scramble" their jets on a 

moment's notice. Heavy transport squadrons are 

daily flying their huge C-97 Stratofreighters, carrying essential cargo to overseas bases for the Military 

Air Transport Service. 

PUBLICATIONS REVIEW BOARD 

Progress continued during fiscal year 1961 in 

reducing the distribution of nonessential publications 

to the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and 

the District of Columbia. Continued emphasis was 

placed on more appropriate distribution of essentia! 

publications and blank forms, correlating the distribution with pertinent operations, administration, training and mobilization missions. Stockpiling and waste 

have been reduced significantly. 

$950,000 was programmed for proceurement 

of publications and forms during FY 1961. Obligations totalled approximately $727,000 representing 

a saving of $223,000. This economy was accomplished without adversely affecting operations, training, administration or maintenance in any State. 

During the year a revised National Guard Regulation 2-2 was published, placing greater emphasis 

on the receipt, storage, distribution and handling of 

classified publications and forms. It also increases 

Guardsman checks Stale Publication Stock RoomSidle stock levels for all publications and forms from 

90 to 120 days. This 120-day stock level will take 

care of each State's publications requirements in case 

of emergency. 

During the third quarter of FY 1961, over 

1,000,000 blank forms, 20,000 various types of 

manuals, and 5,000 miscellaneous publications were 

redistributed within the Army National Guard. The 

end result of this program was that critical storage 

space was made available to the various States, and 

excess quantities of publications and blank forms 

not required by a specific State were trans-shipped 

to other States requiring them. 

The quantity of publications requisitioned during the year was reduced considerably. For example, 

the States requisitioned approximately 25 percent 

fewer field manuals than in FY 1960 and approximately 37 percent fewer technical manuals. Similar 

reductions were recorded in other publications and 

blank forms.

FOREWOR D 

"Tell us about the old Army, Sarge—before pushbuttons." 

—Mauldin in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch 

ON FRIDAY, May 26, 1961, in his second State of the Union message, President 

John F. Kennedy announced plans "to make possible a much more rapid deployment of (the 

Army's) highly trained reserve forces." He said: 

"When these plans are completed, and the reserve is strengthened, two 

combat-equipped divisions, plus their supporting forces, a total of 89,000 men, 

could be ready in an emergency for operations with but three weeks' notice. 

Two more divisions, with but five weeks' notice; and six additional divisions and 

their supporting forces, making a total of ten divisions, couid be deployable with 

less than eight weeks' notice. 

"In short, these new plans will allow us to almost double the combat power 

of the Army in less than two months, compared to the nearly nine months 

heretofore required." 

Thus the Army National Guard, already at the highest state of readiness in its peacetime 

history, prepared to move into a new, even more significant era. 

To accomplish this increased readiness, plans called for higher manning and equipment 

levels in units, additional periods of training each year, reorganization to the ROAD (Reorganization Objectives Army Divisions) concept, and assignment of individual Ready Reservists to Army National Guard units for training purposes. 

Clearly these plans mean personal sacrifice for thousands of Guardsmen—both in terms 

of time and effort—but no one doubted the Guard would rise to the occasion in the proud 

tradition of America's oldest fighting force. 

For FY 1961, we look back with pride at our accomplishments here detailed. We look 

ahead with anticipation to even greater preparedness and the performance of more vital service to our Nation.

Funding 

Apportionment of the full appropriation,

of the Secretary of Defense withheld $6,400,000 for 

items which were not directly related to the increase 

of 40,000 in the end strength. ($360,000 in President's budget—$400,000 in Appropriation) However, these funds were released during the 2nd 

quarter of FY 1961, $2,800,000 being apportioned 

for higher drill pay rates and $3,600,000 for uniforms and uniform allowances. 

Apportionment of the entire appropriation 

$166,376,000 was made under the Army National 

Guard Operation and Maintenance appropriation. 

Initially. $5,000,000 was being withheld in reserve 

for items not directly related to the 400,000 end 

strength. These funds were later apportioned in two 

segments: $2,600,000 was released during the last 

quarter to provide for average salary rates for Army 

National Guard technicians; and $2,400,000 was released during the 2nd quarter to increase Army 

National Guard technician support by 253 manyears and to pay the FY 61 approved wage-board 

schedules. Apportionment of $4,315,000, the supplemental appropriation, was provided during the 

4th quarter for the civilian pay increase (authorized 

by PL 86-568, and appropriated under PL 87-14).

Finance Activities 

In FY 1961, NGB was directed by the Department of Defense to change the Army National Guard 

Personnel appropriation structure to conform to the 

standard budget and expense accounting classifications established by army regulations for the reserve 

components. 

As a further step toward the full implementation of the Army Financial Management Plan, the 

groundwork was laid for Army National Guard participation in the Integrated Command Accounting 

and Reporting System on 1 July 1961. 

The Army Audit Agency performed an internal 

type audit on approximately half of the U. S. Property and Fiscal Officers' Federal fund and property 

accounts in the States. Federal Standards were applied in auditing these accounts. The findings and 

recommendations were reported in detail to State 

authorities, the National Guard Bureau and interested offices of the Department of the Army. The 

31 
States evaluated these reports and initiated needed 

action to improve procedures for accounting and 

reporting of Federal funding and property accounts. 

The National Guard Bureau's review and analysis of 

all the findings and recommendations were also used 

as the basis for improved management procedures. 

Requests for reconsideration and appeal of 

charges on Army National Guard reports of survey 

were reviewed by the National Guard Bureau and 

recommendations for relief, when warranted, were 

made before the reports were forwarded to the Secretary of the Army for final action. 

Travel allowances for Army National Guard 

technicians were revised to permit payment of per 

diem instead of reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses, The directive was issued by National 

Guard Bulletin No. 26 (30 June 61) and will be incorporated into National Guard Regulation 51, early 

in FY 1962. The change was effective 1 July 1961. 

Procedures for settlement of amounts due 

estates of deceased Army National Guard technicians were simplified by authorizing, in NGR 52 (See 

Appendix F), submission of the payroll directly to 

the local Finance and Accounting Officer, rather than 

submission to NGB for administrative examination, 

then to the U. S. General Accounting Office for adjudication. Now only if the Finance and Accounting 

Office finds an element of doubt need the payroll go 

to the U. S. General Accounting Office. 

The bi-weekly pay period for Army National 

Guard technicians was made mandatory under the 

provisions of NG Regulation 42, revised. This was 

another step toward uniformity between Army National Guard technician personnel procedures and 

those prescribed for civilian employees of the Department of the Army. 

Procedures were established for the payment of 

Army National Guard rifle and pistol teams participating in the National matches. Team members are 

paid prior to departure from Camp Perry. 

Technicians 

Army National Guard technicians are authorized by law and paid by the Federal Government for 

employment by the States in the day-to-day administration of Guard units, mobilization training of units, 

supply and accounting duties in the offices of the 

United States Property and Fiscal Officers and in the 

maintenance, repair and inspection of Federal materiel provided for the Army Guard. 

Technicians are federally recognized members 

of the Army National Guard of the State by which

they are employed, with such few specific exceptions 

as are authorized by the Chief of the National Guard 

Bureau. The following exceptions have been authorized thru 30 June 1961: (1) Female employees in 

secretarial positions in the offices of the United 

States Property and Fiscal Officer and State Maintenance Officer and minor designated clerical positions in USPFO and field maintenance activities; (2) 

males who were employed as non-members of the 

National Guard in the office of the USPFO prior to 

2 March 1956 who cannot meet requirements for 

membership in the Army National Guard; and (3) 

federally recognized members of the Air National 

Guard who are specifically approved by the Chief of 

the National Guard Bureau for employment in the 

office of the USPFO. 

Technicians manning provides that individuals 

perform as technicians, those duties which will be 

initially required of them in military status upon 

mobilization. As shown by the following statistical 

table, 21,716 technicians were employed in the 

States on 30 June 1961 at a fiscal year cost of $122.6 

million.

Obligations include social security payments for 

Army National Guard technicians in 47 States and 

Puerto Rico. In addition, a pay raise of 7.5 percent 

for Classified Technicians was implemented as of the 
first pay period beginning in FY 1961. This pay increase was a result of the Federal Employees Salary 

Increase Act of 1960 (P.L. 86-568). Also implemented during the fiscal year were Army-Air Force 

Wage Board increases authorized through the 3rd 

quarter of FY 1961, as well as step-in-grade increases earned during the year. 

Reports Control 

Continued reports control by NGB, as delegated 

by the Comptroller of the Army in FY 1960 resulted 

in a total requirement of only 24 reports from the 

various States to the Bureau. Considering the magnitude and complexity of the mission of the Army 

National Guard, this was an outstanding achievement. Also, during FY 1961, two reports were combined into one and nine reports were simplified and 

subsequently revised. 

Review and analysis is another important Comptroller function. The purpose of this function is to 

examine critically all of the facts in a given area

covering a specific period of time in order to explain 

and interpret both deficiencies and achievements revealed by those facts. While this is a continuing 

process in each division of NGB, the segmentary 

data is correlated and interpreted by the Comptroller 

Division, which then analyzes trends and develops 

the overall conclusions essential to the continued 

modern, aggressive management of the Army Guard. 

The major review and analysis activity of the 

Army Comptroller results in the quarterly publication of the Army National Guard Progress Report. 

This report continued to show satisfactory program 

progress during FY 1961, in that the majority of the 

activities adhered closely to previously determined 

objectives. The report served to highlight problem 

areas, resulting in management improvements in the 

Bureau and in the States from the competitive representation of facts and statistics especially in the areas 

of armory drill attendance, and procurement of 

qualified personnel.

There were insufficient new appointments to 

compensate for the larger number of officer resignations a,nd transfers to the Inactive National Guard 

experienced during the fiscal year. 

As in the past four fiscal years, the primary 

source of second lieutenants during FY 1961 was 

from accredited officer candidate schools. A comparison of FY 1960 and FY 1961 procurement of 

second lieutenants, by major source, is shown below:

Grand Totals 2176 2234 

The drop in warrant officer strength was 

brought about primarily by the termination of Federal recognition or reassignment for the then remaining 438 warrant officer Unit Administrators 

(MOS 2123). These personnel were full time 

Army National Guard technicians whose retention as 

Unit Administrators in an excess status had been 

authorized, following the discontinuance of the position and warrant officer military specialty in 1954. 

In March 1959 the States were advised that continued 

unlimited retention of warrant officer Unit Administrators was organizationally unsound and contrary 

to the best interests of the Army National Guard. As 

a result, the Federal recognition of all warrant officers 

(Unit Administrators) who were not reassigned by 

31 December 1960, was withdrawn.

Personnel Actions 

Only 1 percent of completed State enlistment 

applications were rejected by the Bureau in FY 

1961 as compared with 1.1 percent rejected during 

FY 1960. This low rejection rate indicates the continued careful screening of applications by recruiting personnel, unit commanders, and other State 

authorities. 

The following table reflects the officer and 

warrant officer personnel actions taken during FY 

1960 and FY 1961. An increase in the number of 

Federal recognition actions (appointments, promotions and changes in branch) is noted, as well as the 

increased number of separations and transfers to the 

inactive National Guard. These latter are believed 

to be largely due to a leveling-off period which followed the major reorganization of the Army National Guard and the implementation of revised 

tables of organization during Fiscal Years 1959 and 

1960.

RFA—55 Training Program 

The Six Month Active Duty Training Program 

(described further in the Training section of this 

Report) had a programmed input of 62,000 for 

FY 1961. This program was 100.4 percent accomplished, with 62,278 actually entering training. The 

number completing training in the fiscal year was 

62, 492 Since the program's inception in FY 1956, 

271, 744 Army National Guardsmen have enlisted or 

volunteered to "take six," 245,636 have actually 

entered training and 203,129 have completed training and returned to their units. On 30 June 1961, 

there were 30,404 Army National Guard enlisted 

men training in the six month program. 

Reserve Officer Personnel Act 

On 1 July 1960 the attritive provisions of the 

Reserve Officer Personnel Act of 1954 (ROPA) 

relating to length of commissioned service and time 

in grade became effective. These provisions will 

cause the Federal recognition of Army National 

Guard officers to be withdrawn at an earlier age 

than it had been in the past when mandatory separation other than for cause was based upon attaining 

certain prescribed maximum ages. In general, the 

attritive provisions of ROPA require the termination of Federal recognition of Army National Guard 

lieutenant colonels and below after they have accrued 

28 years of commissioned service, both actual and 

constructive. Brigadier generals and colonels must be 

separated after completing 30 years of commissioned 

service or five years in grade, whichever comes 

later, and major generals must be removed from an 

active Army National Guard status after completing 

35 years of commissioned service or five years in 

grade, which ever comes later. During FY 1961, 

Federal recognition was withdrawn from 167 Army 

National Guard officers due to the attritive provisions 

of ROPA. The majority of these officers would have 

been retained for an additional period of service 

under the maximum age criteria which existed prior 

to 1 July 1960. 

In June 1960 Congress enacted P.L. 86-559, 

an amendment to the Reserve Officer Promotion 

Act of 1954, which included a provision whereby, 

effective 1 July 1960, Army National Guard officers 

in the grades of first lieutenant, captain, and major 

must be mandatorily considered for promotion as 

Reserve Commissioned officers of the Army after 

accrual of certain maximum periods of time in grade 

and total years of service. Army National Guard of 

the United States (ARNGUS) officers in the grade 

of first lieutenant must be mandatorily considered 

for promotion prior to completing four years in 

grade and six total years of commissioned service; 

captains must be considered for promotion prior 

to completing seven years in grade and 12 years of 

commissioned service; and majors, prior to completing seven years in grade and 17 total years of commissioned service. Although the law provides for 

mandatory promotion as Reserves of the Army of 

those considered and selected, it also provides that 

such officers may decline the promotion for a period 

of not more than three years if the appropriate 

National Guard authority of the State approves the 

action. 

The mandatory promotion provisions of PL 

86-559 were implemented by Army Regulations 

135-155, 20 December 1960, which effected the 

establishment of Reserve Promotion Boards in each 

of the several States. In addition, AR 135-155 prescribe that in order to be selected, ARNGUS officers being considered by Reserve Promotion Boards 

must meet the military education requirements specified in National Guard Regulations for Federal 

recognition in the higher grade. An officer who fails

to be selected after being twice considered will 

either be separated as a Reserve of the Army, or if 

he is qualified and applies therefor, he will be transferred to the Retired Reserve of the U.S. Army 

Reserve. 

Following publication of AR 135-155, selection boards were convened and, by the end of FY 

1961, ARNGUS officers subject to mandatory consideration had been considered in approximately 50 

percent of the States for promotion as Reserve commissioned officers of the Army. 

An evaluation of selection board recommendations received as of the close of FY 1961 indicates 

an excessive percentage of non-selections, which 

was obviously due to failure of the officers concerned to meet prescribed military education requirements. The highest percentage of non-selections 

was found among captains being considered for promotion to major, where the rate of non-selection is 

60 percent. The non-selection rate among first 

lieutenants considered for captain was 55 percent, 

and among majors considered for lieutenant colonel, 

40 percent. 

It can be presumed that a great number of 

those non-selected will either enroll for courses of 

military education which will satisfy prescribed requirements for promotion, or if already enrolled, 

will accelerate their study in order to avoid being 

again passed over when considered for promotion 

as a Reserve of the Army in Fiscal Year 1962. 

It is anticipated that many of those selected 

will either decline the promotion or accept it as 

members of the Army Reserve, due to the lack of 

appropriate Army National Guard Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) position vacancies for 

them in the higher grade. As of the close of FY 

1961, no appointments in the higher grade had yet 

been tendered ARNGUS officers by the Department 

of the Army as a result of mandatory promotion 

consideration. Accordingly, there has been no experience factor relative to declination of promotions 

tendered or acceptance with assignment to the Army 

Reserve. 

Special Programs (Officers and Warrant 

Officers) 

Based upon the recommendation of The General Staff Committee on Army National Guard 

Policy, the Secretary of the Army, on 9 December 

1960, adopted a policy whereby retention of officers 

in a State Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, beyond the date they would otherwise be removed by the normal length of service provisions of 

ROPA, would be specifically approved by the Chief 

of the National Guard Bureau, acting for the Secretary of the Army. Approval would be based upon 

the officers essentiality to the State Headquarters. 

Officers affected would be ineligible to be retained 

beyond age 60 and would not be eligible for Federal 

recognition in a higher grade without specific approval by the Secretary of the Army. The new 

policy occasioned the screening out, effective 31 

January 1961, of all officers assigned to State Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment who exceeded the length of service provisions of ROPA 

and who were not determined indispensable to the 

mission of the State Headquarters. 

The new Career Program for warrant officers 

of the Reserve components of the Army not on 

active duty, has rendered 16 warrant officer military 

occupational specialties obsolete. Pending the issuance of instructions implementing the new program. 

Federal recognition has been suspended, effective 15 

May 1961, on new appointments and reassignments 

of Army National Guard warrant officers to TOE 

positions v, hich specify those occupational specialties. 

Army National Guard Register 

The 1 January 1961 edition of the Official 

Army National Guard Register was distributed to 

the field and to interested United States Government 

agencies during the month of May 1961. This 1089-

page volume contains the names, and biographical, 

educational and military service data of approximately 39,800 officers and warrant officers of the 

active and Inactive Army National Guard. 

Pay Grades E-8 and E-9 

Through FY 1961, a total of 4,065 grade E-8 

spaces had been allocated to the States to be filled 

on a "best qualified" basis from among those who 

met the minimum criteria, including 24 months in 

grade E-7 and 15 years of service (8 of which must 

be enlisted service). Promotion authority was 

broadened in FY 1961 to permit consideration of all 

personnel qualified to fill TOE grade E-8 (NCO) 

positions. By 30 June 1961, there were 2,132 E-8's 

in the Army National Guard. 

Allocation of E-9 spaces (NCO) to the States 

will be made on 1 October 1961. Earlier allocation 

was not required, since one of the requirements for 

promotion to grade E-9 is completion of 28 months 

in grade E-8.

MEDICA L ACTIVITIES 

Personnel 

The need for more Medical Corps officers in 

the Army National Guard was still evident at the 

end of FY 1961. On 30 June 1961 the actual 

strength of Medical Corps officers was 941, representing 54.3 percent of those authorized in federally 

recognized units and a gain of 96 during the year. 

Dental Corps officer strength was 206, or 98.1 percent of authorized strength. Nurse Corps strength 

was 44, or 10 percent of the authorization. Officer 

strength of the Medical Service Corps was 837, or 

88 percent of the authorization. The following table

During the year, 1,757 formal and 2,122 informal reports of line of duty determinations of disease or injury of Army National Guard personnel 

were reviewed and processed by this office. 

The National Guard Bureau was allocated 

$410,000 by the Surgeon General, Department of 

the Army, to provide physical examinations and 

medical care for Army National Guard personnel 

during FY 1961. Of this total, $361,738 was obligated by the States.

Troop Units Organization 

The Army National Guard, as of 30 June 1961, 

consisted of 4,367 federally recognized units of company or detachment size. On the accompanying 

chart the troop basis is broken down into Infantry, 

Armor, Artillery and Other. 

ARMY NATIONAL GUARD ORGANIZATION 

400 000 STRENGTH 1510 UMTS 

The 4.367 federally recognized units represents 

a decrease of 19 units below the 30 June 1960 total 

of 4.386. 

During the latter part of the fiscal year, reorganization actions were accomplished to align the 

Army National Guard troop basis with revised 

mobilization requirements. These actions resulted 

in a major reorganization of the Maine Army National Guard involving the reorganization of an 

Armored Cavalry Regiment to Armor, Field Artillery and Engineer Battalions. Other minor reorganization actions were accomplished in Oregon and 

Wisconsin, providing units for which a mobilization 

requirement existed and eliminating units which had 

become obsolete. 

Special Forces 

Army National Guard Special Forces are organized into some 81 detachments in four groups, 

located in Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina. Utah 

and West Virginia, with an aggregate assigned 

strength of approximately 1,000 Guardsmen. 

The combat mission of the Special Forces is a 

unique one: to infiltrate by land, sea or air into 

hostile areas and to organize, equip, train and direct 

indigenous forces in the conduct of guerrilla warfare. 

Many of the Guardsmen, who are hand-picked 

for Special Forces, attend the Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Additional training is then provided to make each man highly proficient in one of four basic military skills: demolitions, 

weapons, communications or medicine. All Special 

Forces Guardsmen are cross-trained in fields 

other than their specialty. They train in the swamp 

and jungle areas of Georgia and Florida, and also 

learn to operate in mountainous and cold-weather 

areas. All are required to qualify in Parachute School 

at Fort Benning, Georgia, and to jump every three 

months thereafter. They are taught hand-to-hand 

combat and silent killing; Morse Code, skiing and 

underwater demolitions. They are instructed in techniques of evasion and escape, and learn the local 

customs, geography and history of selected areas 

threatened with aggression. Many attend the Army 

Language School in Monterey, California, to learn 

fluently the language of a country in which their 

services may be needed. 

In addition. Special Forces Guardsmen receive 

the most rigorous training designed to enable them 

to traverse long distances in desolate or forbidding 

terrain, and to survive and be ready to fight when

they reach their objective. In October 1960, eight 

Guardsmen trekked 167 miles across the tops of 

some of the West's highest mountains in 15 days to 

successfully field test a new survival ration. 

Air Defense Artillery 

The Air Defense On-Site Missile Program, instituted in 1958, provided for 82 firing batteries 

from 34 missile battalions in 15 States to participate 

in the CONUS and Hawaiian air defense systems. 

Fiscal Year 1961 saw the culmination of that program when the eighty-second firing battery became 

operational. By the end of FY 1961, 76 NikeAjax firing batteries were operational in the following 15 CONUS defense areas: Los Angeles, 

San Francisco, Seattle, Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, 

Cleveland, Buffalo, New York City, BostonProvidence, Hartford-Bridgeport, Philadephia, Pittsburgh, Washington-Baltimore, and Norfolk. Six 

Nike-Hercules firing batteries were operational on 

the Island of Oahu; however, two of these batteries were using temporary control areas pending 

the completion of. construction of permanent areas. 

The efficiency of Army National Guard on-site 

units greatly increased during FY 1961, as evidenced by the results of annual service practice and

operational readiness evaluations. In the area of 

annual service practice, Army Guard Ajax batteries placed third and fourth in the Nation among 

all active Army and Army National Guard units 

firing during FY 1961. The average annual service 

practice score for an Army Guard firing battery increased by 11 percent over the average for FY 1960, 

while the average for successful operational readiness evaluations increased by 55 percent.

Training Criteria 

The Army National Guard conducts training in 

accordance with criteria established by Headquarters, 

Continental Army Command (USCONARC) and 

Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM). The 

USCONARC training criteria are set forth in the 

appropriate annexes of its Training Directive, dated 

1 July 1958, which establishes the following objectives for the Army National Guard: 

a. Individuals: 

(1) To attain and maintain the proficiency of 

all personnel in the fundamentals of combat operations; 

(2) To prepare, by progressive selection and

(5) To maintain standards of mental and 

physical fitness necessary for active duty, including 

indoctrination of all individuals in the Code of Conduct. 

The chart shows Army Guard individual 

training progress from FY 1959 through FY 1961. 

As of 30 June 1961, 95 percent of all officers and 

men were basically trained. Of these, 66 percent 

were prior servicemen or 6 month trainees. The 

vital importance of the six month training program 

to this training progress is evident. 

b. Units: 

To bring all units to such a state of readiness 

that upon mobilization, they can receive, administer, 

and train qualified fillers as necessary, and train 

under appropriate Army Training Programs or Intensified Combat Training Programs as directed. 

Combat Training 

The general status of Army Guard training on 

31 December 1961 is depicted on the "Arrow" 

graph. 

TRAINING FOR COMBAT 

(INFANTRY BATTLE GROUP) 

As indicated, an Infantry Battle Group undergoes a 36-week training program in attaining readiness for overseas deployment. The training programs for units of Infantry and Armored Divisions 

are comparable. Some technical service administrative type units require less time. 

The six month active duty training program 

made it possible for the entire Army National Guard 

to initiate basic unit training in October 1958. Individuals returning from RFA training are integrated 

into unit training without additional training. At the 

end of FY 1961, Army Guard units had satisfactorily completed an average of 4VS weeks of basic unit 

training, or 20'/2 of the total 36 week training program. This is 2'/2 weeks better than the 1960 average unit training level.

Armory Training 

All Army National Guard units participated in 

at least 48 paid assemblies during Fiscal Year 1961. 

Multiple (8-hour) training assemblies accounted for 

31 percent of the total. During FY 1961, the number of multiple training assemblies decreased approximately 11 percent from those held in FY 1960. 

This decrease was expected, however, due to the reduction from 9 to 6 multiple drills required by 

USCONARC training directives. 

The number of officers, warrant officers and 

enlisted men participating in armory training 

amounted to an average of 91.5 percent of assigned 

strength, excluding constructive attendance, an 

overall percentage increase of 2.1 over the previous 

43 
fiscal year. This increase is indicative of the enforcement of Minimum Standards and an increased effort 

to attain maximum attendance at all training assemblies. 

Percentages of attendance at armory training 

during the past two years, excluding constructive 

attendance, are shown below:

Annual Field Training 

Approximately 330,000 Guardsmen, representing about 97 percent of the Army National Guard 

paid drill strength (assigned strength less constructive attendance), attended 15-day annual field 

training during FY 1961. Training, as prescribed in 

appropriate Army programs, was accomplished at 

105 sites owned and operated as shown below. 

During this training, active Army evaluation 

teams inspected each federally recognized Army 

Guard unit. Team reports concerning training and 

administration were used as a basis for corrective 

action and evaluation and constituted 40 percent of 

the unit rating for this type of training. During FY 

1961, every Army National Guard unit received 

satisfactory, excellent or superior ratings, as is 

shown in the following table. No unit was rated 

unsatisfactory.

School Program 

The Army National Guard School Program is 

one of the keystones in the development of capable 

leaders and key specialists for the Army Guard. 

The Williams Board, which recently studied the 

entire Army educational system, again re-emphasized the value of the Army Service School system 

when it concluded that the school system was the 

perpetuator and cultivator of the arts and sciences 

of land warfare. Successful graduates of the Army 

School System return to their units and are used to 

instruct other personnel. 

The Army Guard School Program consists of 

three principal phases: Army Service Schools, 

Army Area Schools and Officer Candidate Schools. 

Army National Guard personnel likewise participate 

in the Army Extension Course Program to a considerable extent. 

The Army Service Schools comprise the principal activity of the program. After receiving his 

commission, each newly commissioned officer, unless a graduate of the Regular Officer Candidate 

Course, is encouraged to attend a Branch Officer 

Orientation Course of the branch to which he is 

assigned, such as Infantry, Armor or Engineers. 

These eight-week courses stress practical work, 

offer a minimum of theoretical instruction, and are 

designed to prepare the newly commissioned second

lieutenant for his initial assignment with troops. 

Regular Officer Candidate School graduates are considered already qualified. 

The Army Guard Officer is also expected to 

attend his Branch Career Course between his third 

and twelfth year of service. This course is designed 

to prepare the officer for duties at company through 

battle group or comparable level, and includes instruction on the organization and 'operations of the 

Division, and the functions of the Division General 

Staff. 

Prior to reaching age 45, officers assigned to 

key positions may also be selected to attend the 

Command and General Staff College. This college 

trains officers in the tactical application of the combined arms and services. The Command and General Staff College has proven itself as the place 

where ground commanders learn the art of battlefield command. 

The Army Service Schools also provide excellent courses for the training of enlisted personnel to 

insure their professional and technical progress. 

Such courses include radio maintenance, heavy 

equipment operation and tracked vehicle maintenance. 

During FY 1961, 8,409 officers and enlisted 

men participated in this activity. 

State Adjutants General are also provided 

funds to send personnel to Army Area Schools, 

conducted by the Army Commanders. These schools 

offer noncommissioned officer courses, and basic 

enlisted specialist courses such as those for auto 

mechanics, clerks and cooks. 

The Officer Candidate School program provided the Army National Guard with its major

source of second lieutenants. There are three separate types of officer candidate courses which an enlisted man may attend to earn a commission in the 

Army National Guard: 

• The regular 23-week active Army Officer 

Candidate Course is available at the U. S. Army 

Infantry School and the Army Artillery and Missile 

School. It is conducted at sufficient intervals during 

the year to enable any enlisted man to attend, provided he can arrange leave from his civilian employment to attend this long course. 

• A special 1 1-week Officer Candidate Course 

is also conducted at these same two schools. This 

course is specifically tailored to fit the needs of high 

school graduates and college students. One class is 

conducted during the winter months and a second 

one during the summer. 

• The third type of Officer Candidate training 

is the Department of Army accredited State OCS 

Program. This program provides a means for eligible 

enlisted men to earn a commission without leaving 

their civilian pursuits. The instruction is conducted 

during annual field training and over a series of 

weekends throughout the year. The Army Infantry 

School prepares the program of instruction, provides the lesson material, and grades all examinations. The majority of Army Guard second lieutenants are procured through this program. The 

District of Columbia, and all States in the Continental United States except one, had organized a 

State Officer Candidate School as of 30 June 1961. 

The Army Extension Course Program is a part 

of the Army Service School System. In addition to 

Officer Orientation and Career type extension 

courses, there are approximately 1,085 separate 

subcourses on military subjects, administered by 24 

of the Army Service Schools. The fiscal year closed 

with more than 48,000 Army National Guardsmen 

actively engaged in the Army Extension Course 

Program. 

Army Aviation 

During FY 1961, the number of Army National Guard aviators on flying status increased 

from 1,382 to 1,516, a net gain of 134 toward a 

current authorization of more than 3,000. The primary sources of aviator procurement were Guardsmen graduated from the U. S. Army Aviation 

School and former rated officers recruited from the 

active Army and other services. 

Army National Guard aircraft flying hours 

totaled 176.894. This is an increase of 16,552 

hours over FY 1960. Approximately 40 percent of 

this time was accomplished during the annual field 

training periods. 

Army Service Schools and civilian contract 

schools were used for training both officers and enlisted men in various aircraft maintenance skills 

and in primary, tactical and advanced flying. During the year 155 individuals completed Army Primary Flight Courses. 120 completed the Rotary 

Wing Qualification Course. 26 completed the Contract Instrument Flying Course, 21 completed 

Senior Officer Advanced Aviation Courses, and 230 

men completed Aircraft Maintenance Courses. 

A total of 116 Army Guardsmen were on noncrew member flying status as of 30 June 1961. This 

included three flight surgeons, four aerial observers 

and 109 aircraft maintenance supervisors. 

The accompanying chart shows three years of 

growth in pilots and aircraft.

of National Guard Bureau minimum requirements. 

Overall, Army Guard Adviser positions were 

manned at acceptable levels. Shortages continued in 

Artillery, Ordnance and Signal units and were of 

primary concern from a training standpoint. Continued shortages in these areas are anticipated due to 

impending loss of a large number of field grade officers. The Officers Assignment Directorate, Office 

of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, is endeavoring to meet Army Guard requirements from 

the qualified personnel available, in accordance with 

Department of the Army priority for Army National

Equipment 

The National Guard Bureau received very 

limited quantities of new equipment for distribution 

to Army National Guard units during Fiscal Year 

1961. Many items of equipment necessary for training were in short supply, and some of these shortages had an adverse effect on certain types of 

training. 

Engineer 

A limited quantity of Water Purification Sets, 

Light Tactical Bridges, and substitute Plastic Assault 

Boats was made available for distribution. Shortages and the use of substitutes, particularly for 

authorized bridges, scoop loaders, and assault boats, 

posed the most serious training problem. 

Ordnance 

The most significant increases in Ordnance 

equipment resulted from distribution of limited 

quantities of medium tanks, armored personnel 

carriers and 762 mm. rocket launchers. Issues of 

armored personnel carriers were partially offset by 

withdrawal of some older models. 

Although the levels of Ordnance equipment on 

hand were reported to be fairly constant, specific 

shortages, necessitating continued use of substitute 

and obsolete items, hampered effective training. 

This was particularly true with regard to recoilless 

rifles, self-propelled artillery and some types of 

wheeled vehicles. 

Quartermaster 

The overcoats (OG-107) currently on hand 

were 56 percent of Army National Guard,national 

requirements. Approximately 23 percent of the 

required winter work uniforms (OG-108) had been 

provided for the northern States. 

Signal 

The shortage of central office sets, radar, and 

those communication items for Corps and Field 

Army communications systems posed the most 

serious training equipment problems for the Army 

National Guard. 

Transportation 

The Army National Guard aircraft inventory 

on 30 June 1961 included 649 fixed wing aircraft, 

312 rotary wing aircraft, and 48 flight simulators. 

This represents a net gain over the 30 June I960' 

totals of 4 fixed wing and 42 rotary wing craft and 

8 flight simulators. 

Army National Guard marine units operate 

various types of marine craft such as landing craft,

BlNk l H MM I . BOSTON, MASSACHUSI I Is. H Nl 17. 1775. 

Along the hatile line on Breed's Hill and extending i<> the Mystic River (destined 

to go into history hooks as The Battle of Banker Hill"), the colonial militiamen 

coolly held their fire as seven crack regiments of the British Army, the best infantry In the world, advanced toward them. Up from the Churlestown landings 

came the red-coaled enemy, anticipating an easy victory. An officer sternly admonished the militiamen. "Do not fire until you see the whiles of their eyes'" 

With magnificent discipline and courage, they wailed . . . fired . . . and thus began 

the War for Independence. The American militia proved to the world that civilian 

volunteers could he moulded into trained fighting men. thus forging the high tradition of the National Guard in our armed forces. 

which are intended for participation in Army water 

terminal or waterborne tactical operations, or to 

augment naval craft in joint amphibious operations. 

Marine units also operate amphibious vehicles, for 

amphibious or logistical operations; tugs, and a 

floating drydock to provide depot maintenance for 

other marine craft. 

Maintenance 

The equipment maintenance program of the 

Army National Guard continued to show improvement during FY 1961. This was due to continued 

training, a more closely controlled organizational 

maintenance program and the renovation and construction of new field maintenance shops. 

The discussion of maintenance played an important part in the six Army Area Conferences held 

during the fall of 1960. These conferences were 

well attended by representatives from each State, 

Army Area Headquarters, Technical Services, depots and the National Guard Bureau. 

Organizational Maintenance 

The emphasis on responsibility for organizational maintenance at unit and battalion level, with 

closer supervision from the office of the State Maintenance Officer, has reduced the work flow to the 

Combined Field Maintenance Shops. 

Authorization now exists for 877 Organizational Maintenance Shops and Storage Compounds. 

During FY 1961, an additional 42 Organizational 

Maintenance Shops were constructed, 58 existing 

buildings were converted to OMS use, and 113 

vehicle storage areas were constructed. As of 30 

June there were 542 adequate shops, 177 that required modification, and 158 still to be constructed. 

Field Maintenance 

The workload in the Combined Field Maintenance Shops increased during the year. This was 

due to aging of equipment, receipt of additional 

equipment and acceleration of the Modification 

Work Order Program. There were an estimated 

463,000 job orders completed during Fiscal Year 

1961 and, as of 30 June, a backlog of 23,000 uncompleted jobs remained in process. 

Funds were made available to the States for 

the procurement of portable, skid-mounted gasoline 

tanks to alleviate the critical shortage of gasoline 

tank trucks and other fuel service facilities. The 

purchase of 47 750-gallon tanks and 61 600-gallon 

tanks was authorized for each State. 

The National Guard Bureau continued to 

screen clothing and items of individual equipment 

reported excess by the States, and to apply these 

assets against the needs of other States. 

Inventory Management 

The Inventory Management Plan of the Army 

National Guard for FY 1961 consisted of two major 

facets: standardized stock control for item accounting, based upon the established Field Supply System; 

and Financial Inventory Accounting (FIA). 

Financial Inventory Accounting was used by 

the National Guard in measuring assets against requirements, in verifying the requirements based on 

demands, and in achieving the optimum balance between resources and minimum essential requirements. 

The chart, Assets Versus Requirements, reflects the inventory status of those items which are 

demanded on a recurring basis and are procured 

with National Guard Funds. The chart shows, in 

millions of dollars, inventory on hand and on order 

to meet requirements, as of 30 June 1961. 

The bars entitled Total Funded Inventory 

show a total funded recurring stockage requirement 

of $7.9 million, and inventory of $6.6 million on 

hand and on order to meet the requirement. The 

other bars show a breakout of the total inventory 

and requirement by the major fiscal funding 

projects. 

Project 7050 shows the status of the Individual 

Clothing inventory. Aggressive action since December 1960 has eliminated the excesses which previously existed in this inventory. 

Project 7321, Organizational Equipment, and 

Project 7411, Repair Parts, reflect a shortage of 

stock on hand and on order to meet requirements, 

due to the lack of funds for procurement. 

52 
Maintenance of U.S. Army Reserve 

Equipment 

During FY 1961, authority was granted to the 

States to enter into agreements with USAR units 

for the performance of field maintenance of USAR 

equipment. This program, to be effective 1 July 

1961, enhances the "One Army" concept. When 

adequate Army National Guard facilities are available, and no prohibitions exist, USAR equipment 

will receive the same maintenance as is now provided the Army National Guard. USAR funds will 

be utilized for this purpose. 

Army Aircraft Repair Battalions 

During Fiscal Year 1961 authority was granted 

the Army Guard to establish and operate three 

Army aircraft depot maintenance shops as training 

media for the three Aircraft Repair Battalions now 

in the Army Guard organizational structure. These 

shops, to be phased in over a 12-month period, will 

be operational in Fiscal Year 1962 and will provide 

personnel training that is not now available. 

Maintenance and Operating Supplies 

As reported by the States, the cost of maintenance and operating supplies consumed during the 

year was approximately $8,090,000. Dye to a 

shortage of funds, this was a decrease of 5 percent 

against FY 1960. 

INSTALLATION S 

UNDER the provisions of the National Defense Facilities Act of 1950, Federal support has 

been available each year since 1952 for construction 

of facilities required by the Army National Guard. 

Under this legislation armory conversions and nonarmory construction are supported by 100 percent 

-*tak**jaj| 

Disposition of Excess Property 

During FY 1961, the need for disposal of excess property resulted primarily from the reorganization of units. Obsolescence and ordinary wear 

and tear were also contributing factors. 

Excess property on hand at the beginning of 

the fiscal year was valued at $33.7 million. During 

the year, $73.3 million was generated and disposition was made of $85.4 million, leaving a balance 

on hand of $21.6 million. Thus there was a net 

reduction of $12.1 million in excess inventory on 

hand in the States as of the close of FY 1961. 

The following information shows the various 

ways in which excess property was utilized. 

$ 7 million was utilized by the Army National 

Guard . This represents items which, after first being listed as 

excess by various Army Guard installations, were later withdrawn from the excess reports and used by those installations. 

$52. 5 million was utilized by the Department 

of th e Army . $40.4 million of this figure included items 

returned to depot stock. The remaining $12.1 million was 

redistributed within the Department of the Army. 

$ 2 0 million represents excess Items transferred to the Property Disposal Officer. 

$5. 9 million represents items transferred to 

other Federal, state and private agencies, and adjustments for accounting and other purposes. This 

amount includes property transfers in the amount of $100,00 0 

to the Department of the Navy, $200,000 to the Department 

of the Air Force, and $1.8 million to other Federal agencies. 

Federal funds, while other armory projects are supported on the basis of 75 percent Federal—25 percent State participation. The States are required to 

furnish suitable sites for all armory construction, at 

no cost to the Federal Government. 

In the period from Fiscal Year 1953 through

2,732 armory facilities to house, administer and 

train all units adequately. 

As shown below, by 30 June 1961, 766 of this 

requirement remained for future construction. 

TOTAL ARMORY FACILITIES

million as the remaining appropriation requirement 

for FY 1962 and future years.

Also under the provisions of the National Defense Facilities Act of 1950, $26,203,295 (including eviction funds) has been obligated for nonarmory construction through FY 1961. These funds 

provided for the following types of construction: 

Combined Field Maintenance Shops 

These shops are normally authorized for construction on the basis of one per State. However, in 

States where there are two or more divisions, 

authorized Field Training Equipment Concentration 

Sites, or unusual geographical considerations, as in 

Hawaii, additional shops or sub-shops are authorized. Field maintenance of all Federal equipment 

issued to the State, except aircraft, is performed at 

these facilities. 

Organizational Maintenance Shops 

These shops are authorized for each battalion, 

or comparable organization or grouping of units.

rotary wing aircraft, and allied equipment issued to 

the State, is performed at these facilities. 

United States Property & Fiscal Officer 

Office & Warehouse 

An office and warehouse is authorized each 

State for use by the United States Property and 

Fiscal Officer in the administration, receipt, storage, 

and issue of all Federal property required for use by 

the Army National Guard. 

Real Property 

The Bureau renders all possible assistance to 

the States in licensing appropriate federally owned 

facilities and in leasing certain types of privately 

owned facilities for Army Guard use. 

During FY. 1961 the Army National Guard 

utilized the following type of facilities: 

212 federally owned facilities 

138 privately owned facilities under Federal 

lease, including: 

46 Army Adviser Offices 

59 Target Range Sites 

33 Aircraft facilities 

The Bureau screened excess federally-owned 

real properties with the States and advised and 

assisted them in the acquisition of such properties 

when required by the Army National Guard. 

Repairs and Utilities 

$3,022,873 was obligated to maintain, repair 

and operate Army National Guard facilities under 

56 Service Contract Agreements executed with the 

various States. 

Approximately $81,300 was obligated to maintain and repair 80 small-arms firing ranges. 

$3,129,621 was obligated to support minor 

new construction, alteration, conversion and improvement of facilities. This included the establishment of 96 administrative vehicle storage compounds and 100 Organizational Maintenance Shops, 

alteration of 22 armory buildings to accommodate 

new and heavier types of equipment, and numerous 

modifications and improvement projects to place 

facilities in a more useable condition. 

Troop Facilities at Field Training Sites 

These facilities are designed to provide the 

essential requirements for support of Army National 

Guard units during their period of annual field 

training. Facilities may include kitchens, mess halls, 

bath latrines, supply and administrative buildings, 

headquarters buildings and barracks. 

As of 30 June 1961 Federal funds had been 

utilized in the construction of troop facilities at 

Field Training Sites, as well as the following other 

non-armory facilities: 

39 Combined Field Maintenance Shops 

109 Organizational Maintenance Shops 

1 6 USPFO Offices 

22 USPFO Warehouses

Air 

National Guard 

IN REVIEWING the Air National Guard of FY 1961 it becomes readily apparent that its 

objectives were for the most part attained and the year was one of progress and success. During this period the aircraft inventory increased in modern first line equipment, reflecting a 

corresponding increase in combat potential. Air National Guard pilots flew 434,455 aircraft hours, pilot proficiency increased and the aircraft accident rate remained low at 12.66. 

At year end, total personnel assigned to the Air National Guard was 70,895, including 

3,506 pilots and 13,810 air technicians. More than 8,900 Air National Guardsmen completed courses at Air Force service and technical schools. In addition, the Air National 

Guard Jet Instrument School at Ellington AFB, Texas, graduated 147 students. 

On 30 June 1961 the Operational Readiness status of the 92 flying squadrons reflected 

aircraft readiness at 74%; aircrew readiness 61%; personnel (other than aircrews) readiness 59%; and unit mission equipment 88%. 

These were but a few of .the developments of FY 61. As you review the following pages 

it will be noted that, in general, the Air National Guard moved forward on all fronts. 

57 
COMPTROLLE R 

Budget 

The President's budget estimate for Fiscal Year 

1961 contained fund requirements for the Air National Guard for Military Construction, Operations 

and Maintenance, and National Guard Personnel, 

Air Force. These estimates were based on program 

guidance available at time of submission. Subsequent to this submission changes were made in the 

organizational structure of the Air National Guard 

so that its units would conform to the structure of 

like units of the Air Force gaining commands. These 

changes involved six fighter squadrons converted to 

C-97 transport aircraft and two squadrons to F-104 

aircraft. There were also programmed changes involving six squadrons from F-86s and one from 

F-89s to F-102 aircraft. 

These changes affected the three Air Guard appropriations. Revisions could be made within the 

amount requested for Military Construction and 

National Guard Personnel, but not with regard to 

Operations and Maintenance. To support increased 

flying hours and increased man-years required to 

maintain and operate aircraft in converted squadrons, 

an increase of $11,291,000 in Operations and Maintenance funds was approved by Congress. 

The 7.5 per cent pay increase for Federal civil 

service employees was made applicable to supervisory and clerical Air Technicians during the year. 

The necessary funds, amounting to $2.19 million, 

were not included in the original O.&M. estimate, 

but were provided for later in the year with a supplemental appropriation request approved by Congress. 

The following table represents funds appropriated for FY 61 and obligations as of 30 June 

1961:

 One year funds. 

The total obligation rate of 98.7 percent is the 

highest percentage ever achieved by the Air National Guard and reflects a most efficient utilization 

of funds. To a considerable degree it is the result of 

decentralization of funding to base level. Another 

factor is the close scrutiny accorded each stage in 

planning and funding new projects. 

Financial Support 

On 1 January 1961, the responsibility for providing financial support for all Air National Guard 

organizations was transferred from five regional accounting and finance offices, under jurisdiction of the 

Continental Air Command (CONAC), to the Air 

Force Accounting and Finance Office. Each unit is 

serviced by the regional office nearest to it. As a 

result, payment of vouchers has increased in promptness and accuracy. In addition, many of the new 

paying offices provide on-the-job training for Air 

Guard accounting and finance personnel. This training is most welcome since it gives Guardsmen an 

insight into the practical application of training directives in their occupational speciality. 

Punch Card Mechanization Test 

The number of records maintained, and reports 

submitted, by Air Guard bases is constantly increasing. Funds and space authorizations for administrative air technicians are not being made available in 

proportion to the increased administrative workloads. 

In order to determine whether command effectiveness and capabilities could be increased without a 

proportionate increase in manpower, a mechanization test using punch card equipment was undertaken by Air Guard Detachment at McGuire AFB, 

New Jersey. Equipment was installed in January 

and the test proceeded for the balance of the fiscal 

year. Supply, dollar, maintenance man-hour accounting, and maintenance data collection applications were programmed and tested, as well as several 

minor applications. 

Although final evaluation of the test's effectiveness could not be made by 30 June, the outlook was 

promising. Punch card mechanization at Air Guard 

58 
bases would provide training facilities not presently 

available for statistical services personnel assigned 

to group and wing headquarters. 

On 1 July 1960, the Air National Guard commenced using accounting procedures prescribed for 

Air Force bases in the new "century" (177-100) 

series of Air Force Accounting and Finance manuals. 

Previously, separate account codes and procedures 

were used. The Air Guard is now in step with the 

Air Force in this important management area. 

PERSONNE L 

Military Strength 

On 30 June 1961, the federally recognized 

strength of the Air National Guard was 70,895. This 

figure was approximately 1.5 percent short of the 

programmed fiscal year-end strength of 72,000. 

Total strength increased by 75 over that of 30 June 

I960: Officer strength increased 148; airman 

strength decreased 73. 

For comparison purposes, personnel strengths 

for FY 1947 through FY 61 are shown below. 

Procurement of Military Personnel 

Approximately 94 percent of officers procured 

to fill existing vacancies during the year came from 

four sources: Air Force Reserve, direct commission of airmen, professional individuals from civilian 

life, and the Air Guard Aviation Cadet Program. 

The decrease in airman strength was primarily 

due to halting all non-prior service enlistments on 15 

June 1960, pending establishment of a control procedure to preclude exceeding the authorized drill

pay strength of 72,000. This freeze on enlistments 

was partially relaxed on 14 July and fully removed 

in August 1960. The control procedures instituted 

reduced annual input of non-prior service airmen 

from 8,500 to 6,500. This resulted in an appreciable drop in strength during the first quarter of the 

fiscal year. Even though the entire first quarter loss 

was not recouped, airman strength increased by 776 

during the remainder of the year, attributed to additional emphasis on recruitment of prior service personnel and an increased rate of retention of onboard personnel. This year, as in the past five years, 

there has again been an increase in the proportion of 

older non-prior service airmen enlisted. Airmen 

gains (non-prior, by age group, and prior service) 

are shown below for FY 1957 through 1961. 

As a result of increased efforts to reenlist onboard personnel plus implementation of legislators 

authorizing 45 days active duty for non-participants, 

the attrition rate dropped from 23 percent in FY 

56 to 15.2 percent in FY 61. 

During the year 79.3 percent of airmen whose 

enlisments had expired reenlisted without a break in 

service. 

Aptitude and Specialty Knowledge 

Testing 

Specialty knowledge tests (SKTs), formerly 

known as proficiency tests, measure technical job 

knowledge and are used in conjunction with other 

criteria for upgrading airmen to the next higher 

skill level in their specialty. 

During the past year, as a result of a reevaluation of the concept of specialty knowledge testing, 

significant changes have occurred in the program. 

Chief among these have been a change in the 

scoring scale, and the establishment of a "conditionally eligible" area in the scale immediately below 

the "desired score" cut-off. Due to these changes, 

which occurred progressively throughout the last six 

months of this fiscal year, four different sets of qualifying criteria were utilized for the 5- and 7-level 

SKTs in this 12-month period; consequently, a comparison with last year's results would not be significant. 

In FY 61, 5- and 7-level SKTs were administered to 10,692 airmen, of whom 50 percent attained 

passing scores. (For this purpose, "conditionally 

eligible" scores attained since the change in scoring 

system are considered as failures.) 

Several changes occurred during the year in 

other tests utilized by the Air National Guard. The 

Airman Qualifying Examination (AOE), an aptitude test employed in enlistment screening and for 

initial classification, was replaced by the Airman 

Classification Test (ACT-61). 

The USAF Supervisory Examination (USAFSE) is administered to 7-level airmen being considered for award of the 9-level AFSC (E-8 and E-9 

positions). During the year, 1,012 airmen were administered the USAFSE, with a passing rate of 80.6 

percent. 

Officer Promotions 

During FY 61, three Air Guard colonels were 

promoted to brigadier general and one brigadier 

general to major general for tenure of office as 

assistant adjutants general and adjutant general, 

respectively. By law, unit vacancy promotions to 

the grades of major and lieutenant colonel were authorized effective 1 July 1960 for a four-year period 

terminating on 30 June 1964. During the period 

from 1 July 1960 to 30 June 1961, the following 

promotions were effected under unit vacancy promotion authority:

Records Management 

The emphasis on quality and administrative 

correctness of appraisals of officer effectiveness has 

been continued. Marked improvement in quality of 

reports as well as promptness of submission has been 

attained. Emphasis on prompt submission of retirement records (AF Form 190) has contributed to a 

definite reduction in the number of missing documents. A cardex file has been established to facilitate monitoring submission of officer retirement 

records and officer performance appraisals. 

In order to provide a central location for Airman Master Personnel Records, States have been 

requested to forward Master Personnel Records of 

airmen to the Air Force Branch, Military Personnel 

Records Center, in St. Louis at the end of each 

enlistment. This practice will ultimately reduce 

both State storage requirements and the workload required to maintain these records. 

Emphasis continues on utilization of Air Force 

personnel forms and, wherever possible, adoption of 

the Air Force governing directive. This policy will 

facilitate gaining command unit inspection and ease

mobilized. 

Air Technicians 

The Technician force continued to be the backbone of the Air National Guard during FY 61. 

Throughout the year, numerous aircraft conversions, 

mission realignments, and procedure and equipment 

changes constantly tested versatility of the technician. Jet-equipped units converted to higher, faster 

flying Century series aircraft, to aeromedical missions, and to the piston-driven, four-engine C-97 

heavy transport aircraft. New positions had to be

MEDICA L ACTIVITE S 

1111 AIR National Guard Medical Service 

is organized to provide medical personnel and units 

trained and equipped to operate medical facilities in 

support of ANG operational requirements, including 

aeromedical evacuation. 

\s of 30 June 1961, the Medical Service was 

composed of "2 units, comprising I I tactical hospitals. 45 USAF dispensaries, r aeromedical transport groups.

 l> aeromedical transport squadrons, and 

5 aeromedical evacuation squadrons. An additional 

55 units provide limited augmentation of medical 

support. 

Progress in manning levels has been verj satisfactory in the past fiscal year, with a higher ratio of 

officers being assigned to medical units and elements. Additionally, the continued improvement 

of medical facilities, continued procurement oi first 

line medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment 

and supplies, broadening of medical functions and 

responsibilities, and increased use of formal and 

unit training programs, have all served to enhance 

the combat-read) capability of medical service 

activities 

The onl) area of manning difficult) foreseeable 

for the immediate future is in the category of Bight

knobs and adjusting throttles on the complicated 

C-97 Bight panels. Flying training instructors, with 

thousands of hours in single-engine tighter aircraft, 

became proficient aircraft commanders of multiengine transports. 

With the hard core National Guard technician 

imparling know-how to other Guardsmen, converted 

units progressed rapidly to a state of operational 

readiness. 1 he rapid, progressive changes in the 

Vir National Guard force structure created increased 

requirements which caused an increase in the number of Technicians from the 13.158 employed on 30 

June 1400 to 13,810 on 30 June 1961; 99.99 percent of available Air Technician man years were 

utilized. 

medical Evacuation Squadrons. This problem will 

be alleviated to some extent through assignment 

of active Air Force Nurses as advisors at group level. 

who will participate in recruitment programs of individual squadrons. 

The aeromedical field preeeptorship training 

program for airmen, conducted at Andrews. Scott. 

and Travis Air Force Bases, combined with a 4-

week training period with the MATS Aeromedical 

Unit, has prove l highly effective in speeding AFSC 

qualification of aeromedical technicians. This program has also resulted in improved patient care 

where it is in operation. 

Manning authorizations have been revised for 

I S \l Dispensaries, Tactical Hospitals, and medical 

elements organic to separate Tactical Air Transport 

and Troop Carriei Squadrons. These revisions were 

designed to fulfill medical support operational needs, 

at the same tune eliminating non-essential personnel. 

Excellent progress has been made in furnishing 

medical units and elements with modern fixed equipment and supplies Allowances for medical equipment in the Air National Guard have undergone 

major revisions, and a program set up to better 

equip each medical facility Funds have been pro62 
vided in part, and the program is progressing satisfactorily. In base facilities, the use of field type medical equipment has been eliminated. 

During the fiscal year, procurement was completed for Phase I equipment sets for the Department of Defense and Air Force Medical Materiel 

Program for Nuclear Casualties, with exception of 

training kits for these sets which are now being procured. 

At present there exist medical assemblages, such 

as Tactical Hospitals, Air Transportable Infirmaries 

and Dispensaries, and other useable items of medical equipment which are excess to the Medical 

Service's current combat mission or operating needs 

for M-Day. This equipment has already been paid 

for and, if retained, remains as an Air Force asset. 

However, if it were declared excess and reported to 

the DOD Single Manager, there would be little if 

any likelihood of realizing any credit or reimbursement from it. If a need for this equipment arises at 

some future date, it would require budgeting again 

for the necessary appropriated funds, and again paying the agency for the items needed. For these 

reasons, action is contemplated which would authorORGANIZATION 

As of 30 June 1961, the Air National Guard 

consisted of 584 federally recognized units, organize retention of this equipment, and it is planned 

to locate it at bases assigned to heavy air transport 

or aeromedical transport units. In this way it will 

be readily available for immediate deployment and 

use in event of a disaster or military necessity. 

Much of the success of the Medical Service in 

attaining its present manning levels and state of 

readiness has been due to the continued provision 

of adequate, modern facilities and equipment. This 

has been facilitated because the budget and appropriations system of the Air National Guard Medical 

Service is entirely separate from that of the active 

Air Force, permitting maximum expeditious utilization of financial resources. 

In the interests of speed and economy, a number of existing buildings have been rehabilitated and 

modernized so as to make them into first class medical facilities. These projects can be accomplished 

much more quickly because the authority for initiating them is lodged entirely with the Assistant Chief, 

NGB, for Air National Guard. As a result, rehabilitation projects can be reviewed, approved, and the 

necessary funds allocated within the space of a few 

days.

increase of 38 units over the total for 30 June 1960,

Flying Hours 

During FY 61, the Air National Guard flew 

a total of 434,455 flying hours, of which 339,512 

were flown in jet aircraft, 48,509 in tactical support 

aircraft, and 46,434 in C-47 support aircraft. Total 

hours flown were fewer than programmed, due to 

units converting to new aircraft earlier than was 

programmed and to slow delivery of new aircraft. 

Flying Safety 

The Air National Guard major accident rate 

for FY 61 was 12.66 per 100,000 flying hours, as 

145th Aeromedical Transport Group of North Carolina. 

Including the 14 squadrons which underwent 

changes in mission, 29 squadrons experienced major 

or minor conversions to other aircraft. The following table details these facts. 

compared with the previous low of 11.76 in FY 

1960. Although undesirable, this increased rate is 

understandable in the critical transition period to 

more complex high performance aircraft. Aircraft 

such as F-lOOCs coming into the inventory are much 

more demanding on maintenance, require such 

facilities as longer runways, barriers, and associated 

items, and call for a high degree of pilot competence. 

In spite of these demands, the Air Guard has demonstrated the capability to operate from marginal 

facilities.

vigorously pursued at unit level. Other important 

tools for the Air Guard accident prevention program 

are the annual Flight Safety and Commanders Conferences, conducted at Ellington AFB, Texas, in 

April 1961, and the increased number of flight safety 

surveys conducted by the Directorate of Flight Safety 

Research and USAF gaining commands. 

Headquarters USAF awarded flying safety 

awards to two squadrons for achievement of an outstanding safety record in preventing aircraft accidents during the 6-month period ending 31 December 

1960. Selected as recipients of the Air Force's 

highest peacetime safety award were the 121st 

Tactical Fighter Squadron, Washington, D.C., and 

the 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Fresno, 

California. The 121st, employing F-lOOCs, flew 

more than 3,400 accident-free jet hours during the 

award period and had accumulated more than 16,000 

flying hours since its last major accident on 12 

September 1958. The 194th, equipped with F-86L 

aircraft, flew more than 3,700 accident-free jet hours 

and had accumulated over 19,000 hours since its last 

accident on 13 January 1958. 

Joint Exercises 

Although Air National Guard programs provide a maximum of formal training, the final training 

payoff comes from joint exercises conducted with 

the active military establishment. These are peacetime mission requirements of the active forces which 

can be performed as a by-product of Air Guard 

training programs for only a token increase in cost. 

They provide the most realistic training possible, 

while at the same time performing constructive and 

vital missions. The following are examples of Air 

Guard participation in joint exercises:

hostile aircraft. Units engaged in these missions 

realize valuable training benefits while contributing

In addition, 4 Aircraft Control and Warning 

Squadrons continued round-the-clock participation 

in the active air defense' network. Two, at Salt Lake 

City, Utah, and Denver, Colorado, function as part 

of the North American Air Defense Command network, and two continue to provide the sole radar air 

defense in Hawaii for the Pacific Air Forces. One 

of the two Hawaiian units moved to an offshore site 

on the Island of Kauai in March 1961 and is now 

operating with more modern equipment. This has 

improved the radar coverage and operational capabilities of the Hawaii Air Defense system to a considerable degree. The other Hawaiian unit is scheduled for similar equipment improvement in the 

future. 

Firepower Exercises 

The Air National Guard demonstrated its 

capability to provide tactical air support by performing firepower exercises at several Army schools during the fiscal year. These exercises, each employing 

67 
18 to 20 F84F Aircraft and required support, were 

performed by the 131st Tactical Fighter Wing at 

Fort Bragg, N.C., on 8 July 1960; the 162d Tactical 

Fighter Squadron at Fort Hood, Texas, on 21 March 

1961; and the 112th Tactical Fighter Squadron at 

Fort Sill, Okla., on 29 April 1961. The exercises, 

showing the tactical air firepower available to ground 

forces, are a part of Army command school programs. In this way, live ordnance training is received 

by the Air Guard and the Army, and at the same 

time TAC is able to observe and evaluate Air Guard 

tactical units in action. 

Tactical Reconnaissance 

The Air Force has a continuing requirement 

for current photographic coverage of certain domestic urban areas and installations. This photography contributes to the bomb damage assessment 

intelligence plan that would be utilized in event of 

enemy attack. Air Guard tactical reconnaissance 

units, in conjunction with Ninth Air Force, provided 

the required photography and analysis reports for 

this project. These units also provided high priority 

photography for TAC throughout the year. 

Swift Strike 

TAC and the U.S. Army annually call for Air 

National Guard tactical fighter, tactical reconnaissance, and troop carrier aircraft and crews for 

concomitant assignments in the tactical phase of a 

15-day Army-Air Force joint exercise designed to 

simulate and test techniques in confined close operations, and/or brush fire type combat conditions. The 

exercise conducted in the summer of 1961 was called 

Swift Strike. In addition to operational training, 

the exercise provides training for staff and planning 

personnel who operate typical staff and command 

post positions for the exercise. The Swift Strike staff 

planning phase was accomplished during May 1961, 

and the preliminary and continuation phases in July. 

The exercise itself was conducted in August. 

Close Support Exercises 

At request of the active Army, tactical air units 

of the Air National Guard provided close ground 

support for a number of Army-Air Force joint exercises during the year. Valuable training was realized 

in this way by Air Guard aircrews flying F-84F, 

F-86H, RB-57, C-123, and SA-16 aircraft. The 

largest of these Exercises was Operation Willow 

Freeze, in which units from Massachusetts, Kentucky, and Alaska provided tactical reconnaissance 

and tactical fighter support; a West Virginia unit 

carried troops to the exercise. The table below

Operational Readiness 

The most important product of Air National 

Guard training and equipment is operational readiness. This is a measurement of relative capability— 

the degree to which a unit is manned, equipped, and 

trained for the performance of its primary mission. 

In coordination with the major Air Force gaining 

commands, the Air Guard has established realistic 

goals against which to measure progress toward 

major elements of operational readiness. These elements are aircraft ready, aircrew ready, personnel 

other than aircrews ready, and unit equipment ready. 

The achievements as of 30 June 1961 are shown on 

the accompanying chart. 

These percentages show continued progress by 

our units, despite 29 aircraft conversions during the 

year. Such conversions depress a unit's readiness to 

practically nothing, because the unit must then initiate a new training program, procure new equipment 

and check out in new aircraft. 

The latest scores indicate a high state of readiness, and clearly demonstrate the adaptability and 

aggressive capability of Air National Guard personnel.

TRAINING 

AIR NATIONAL GUARD unit and individual 

training is accomplished through four major programs: Air Base Training, Field Training, Supplemental Training and School Training. 

Air Base Training 

Forty-eight unit training assemblies are authorized annually for the conduct of general military 

training and on-the-job training. During these assemblies each organization functions as a unit in the 

routine performance of its missions. Total participation at assemblies during the year was 98 percent 

of assigned officer strength and 95 percent of assigned airmen strength. 

To increase aircrew proficiency and insure combat readiness, all personnel on flying status are 

authorized annually 36 additional inactive duty 

flying training periods. These training periods are 

performed for a minimum duration of 4 hours. A 

total of 301,514 such periods were performed, 

representing a 93 percent participation of eligible 

officer personnel and 85 percent of eligible airmen 

personnel. 

Training devices and instructor teams were provided to the maximum extent possible to support the 

training programs. Aircraft mock-ups, transparency 

sets, and other training aids appropriate to new aircraft entering the inventory were distributed to each 

unit as required. To provide familiarization training 

on new aircraft and related equipment, Mobile Training Detachments were provided by the Air Training 

Command. These detachments are composed of 

qualified instructors and equipment necessary to 

familiarize personnel with the various systems of an 

aircraft. Twenty-three Air Guard bases were visited 

by appropriate MTDs, assigned at each base for 

3 to 4 months. Additional training aids, such as 

synthetic instrument trainers, flight simulators, cockpit procedure trainers and weapons systems evaluators, were delivered to units as needed and as available. In addition, on-the-job training advisory teams 

from Air Training Command visited about one-fourth 

of Air Guard bases to conduct 2- to 8-day courses 

of instruction in the administration of OJT programs. 

Annual Field Training 

During the year, approximately 8,150 officers 

and 70,800 airmen participated in 15 days of annual 

field training. Most units used field training sites at 

Gulfport, Mississippi; Boise, Idaho; Savannah, 

Georgia; Volk Field, Wisconsin; Alpena, Michigan; 

Air Guardsmen observe a demonstration of the CMB 

fire extinguisher during annual field training 1961. 

Otis AFB, Massachusetts, and Niagara Falls, New 

York. In addition, 34 flying units conducted their 

training at home stations. Training at home stations 

was performed in cases where adequate facilities 

were available and for those units which do not 

have a mobility requirement. 

Five Air Defense type units accomplished the 

15 days of training under the year-round individual 

field training plan. This plan was developed and 

tested by Texas' 136th Air Defense Wing. Reports 

indicate that this type of scheduled training is advantageous in that it provides a flexible system within which commanders can program all available manpower and training days in a comparatively even 

flow, thus giving the constant support needed to 

perform unit missions. By scheduling Guardsmen's 

field training participation in consonance with Air 

Technician support, normal unit training assembly 

periods, and aircrew inactive duty flying training 

periods, the manpower input peak normally associated with the 15-day encampment is eliminated, 

resulting in the accomplishment of more and better 

individual training. A majority of air defense units 

have requested authorization to adopt the plan in 

FY 62. Some air transport units are expected to 

participate also, because of the advantages of scheduling personnel to support transport missions 

throughout the year. 

Tactical Fighter units used field training sites 

for staging air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons 

employment and for mobility planning and exercises. 

The Air Force Gaining Commands and their 
subordinate commands contributed much to the Air 

Guard by furnishing highly qualified advisory teams 

to assist units during field training periods. Guidance 

was provided on current tactics and procedures used 

by the active Air Force. 

Supplemental Training 

To speed up operational readiness training and 

to expedite unit conversions to new and different 

types of aircraft and related equipment, the normal 

training programs are supplemented by additional 

authorized training projects and exercises. 

The following training was provided primarily 

to expedite aircraft conversions: 

• Eight days of active duty training was given 

each eligible pilot who had not previously been 

familiar with the unit-equipped aircraft. This 

was accomplished at the unit's home station. 

• Tactical Air Command provided instructor 

pilots at three F-100 squadrons to check out key 

pilots in the aircraft. 

• Strategic Air Command provided a training 

program at Randolph Air Force Base to train 

aircrews and maintenance personnel on the C/KC97 aircraft. During the year 145 aircrew members 

and 125 maintenance personnel completed the 

program. 

• F-102 aircrews were trained at the Air Guard 

facility at Kelly AFB, Texas, through a cooperative program of ADC and Texas' 149th Fighter 

Group. 

• The Air Materiel Command provided a 

training program for missile maintenance personnel at Olmstead AFB, Pennsylvania. The training 

was given on the Falcon Missile, primary weapon 

of the F-102 aircraft. 

Additional supplemental training was offered 

aircrews of tactical fighter and fighter interceptor 

units as follows: 

• Nine Air Defense units deployed to the ADC 

Weapons Center, Tyndall AFB, Florida, to accomplish air-to-air missile firing. Eight units 

were equipped with F-89Js and one with F-102 As. 

This deployment and firing is required for the 

qualification of all crews on these types of aircraft. Units deployed in flights of 6 aircraft for 

4 to 6 days. Each aircraft was required to successfully fire one missile, firing being accomplished at 

target drones. 

• Tactical fighter units, in order to attain and 

maintain proficiency in weapons delivery, staged 

their aircraft and aircrews at field training sites 

and Air Force Bases. These exercises, usually 

conducted on week-ends, are for air-to-air and 

air-to-ground weapons employment and are performed according to the techniques and tactics 

developed by the Tactical Air Command. 

School Training 

All non-prior service airmen are required, as a 

condition of enlistment, to complete USAF basic 

military training. The Air National Guard this year 

supported three programs to achieve this goal. Each 

began with basic military training and followed with 

either (1) basic technical training and/or on-the-job 

training (OJT) for a total period of six months; 

Air Guard recruits gel their first military aircraft ride 
(2) immediate entry into a Basic Technical School; 

or (3) OJT at the home station in a unit training 

status. The Air Guard continued to progress in its 

pilot and navigator training programs, which in general consist of undergraduate flying training and advanced flying training conducted by the Air Force 

for Air Guard officers and aviation cadets. FY 61 

saw the end of pilot trainees in aviation cadet status; 

all Air Guard pilot trainees now enter training in 

officer grade, obtaining a commission by direct appointment or attendance at an Officer Candidate 

School. 

Adequate spaces were provided in Air Force 

flying schools for advanced training of all Air Guard 

fighter interceptor pilots, tactical fighter pilots, and 

reconnaissance pilots, following their graduation 

from basic flying training. Further qualification training in mission aircraft was conducted by the parent 

unit. Pilot trainees were also provided with concentrated instrument training at the Air National 

Guard Jet Instrument School, which continued operation throughout the year. The student body was 

comprised of recent basic pilot graduates and pilots 

from jet units who had not recently attended a formal 

instrument flight course. 

Various familiarization courses and special 

training courses were also made available to Air 

Guardsmen. Adjustments and a decrease in some 

technical training areas were required during the 

year as a result of the extensive aircraft conversion 

program within the Air Guard. Listed below, by 

various categories of training programs, are the 

COMMUNICATION S 

THE NEW force structure program for Air 

National Guard ground communications electronics 

units, outlined in last year's Annual Report, was 

implemented 1 October 1960. The new structure 

totals 75 units, consisting of 2 Tactical Control 

Groups (with 8 units in each group), 4 Communications Groups (with 6 units in each of 3 groups and 

7 units in 1 group), 5 Fixed Air Defense type Aircraft Control and Warning (AC&W) Squadrons, 2

Air Force Advisers 

Due largely to the conversion of Air Guard 

fighter units to air transport units and an increase in 

the number of communications type units, Air 

Force adviser authorizations increased by 46 positions during FY 61. As of 30 June 1961, 182 Air 

Force advisers were assigned, as against 213 authorized positions. 

Flying Status 

During FY 61, the National Guard Bureau 

suspended from flying status 90 pilots who were 

assigned to non-rated positions. Thirty-eight other 

rated officers were suspended from flying status for 

various reasons. 

tenance Squadrons, and 15 Ground Electronics Engineering Installations Agency (GEEIA) Squadrons. 

Coincident with the establishment of the new 

force structure, action was taken to realign assignments of various units of the four Communications 

Groups so as to facilitate improved training operations and better management. For example, in one 

of the Communications Groups (whose six units 

must all train together in a system) all assigned units 

were so aligned as to be in one State (California). 

When the new force structure was established, 

all unit manning documents were revised and 

71 
modernized in keeping with new requirements and 

the latest wartime utility concepts. 

Air Base Training 

A major objective in training ground communications electronics units is to obtain constructive 

benefits and dollar savings for the active Air Force 

as a by-product of normal year-round training operations. Considerable progress was made along these 

lines during the past year. Several GEEIA units 

worked in their geographical areas on active Air 

Force base projects during their normal training 

weekends and contributed much-needed manhours 

toward expeditious accomplishment of USAF 

projects, while simultaneously raising their own 

readiness status. The Communications Maintenance 

units performed a similar function by assisting the 

Air Force in depot level repair of electronics equipment. The Special Communications Squadron participated in classified Air Force readiness exercises 

in the same functions it would perform in a national 

emergency, thereby obviating the need for the diversion of active establishment personnel from other 

duties for this purpose. Certain AACS mobile 

units provided navigational aid and air traffic control 

support of Air Guard flying training operations in the 

vicinity of the units' locations. This also obviated 

the need for such service from the Air Force or the 

Federal Aviation Agency. The California Communications Group was incorporated into the State 

disaster communications network. Through its 

normal training, the Group is now in a position to 

serve the State in conjunction with its regular duties 

in event of a national emergency. 

Field Training 

The annual active duty for training of ground 

communications electronics units continued to stress 

system deployments and realism in operations comparable to that which would be encountered in wartime. Constructive benefit for the Air Force as a 

side result of training operations was a major objective during field training as it was during normal 

year-round training, the only difference being that 

there was a greater capability of contributing to the 

USAF during field training because of the longer 

sustained periods on the job. As an example of the 

contribution made, the active establishment estimated 

that the work done by Air Guard GEEIA units 

saved the Air Force approximately $400,000 in installation costs during calendar year 1961 field training. 

F-100A. Eighteen percent of Air Guard aircraft are 

now "Century" series. 

MATERIEL 

Supply 

During the period covered by this report, the 

Air National Guard entered a new phase in the use 

of large cargo aircraft. Such a change in an operational concept necessarily changes materiel support 

requirements also. In addition, decreases in the 

available quantity of support equipment call for 

greater reliance on quality and utilization. 

In order to maintain combat readiness, materiel 

necessary for the various weapons systems must be 

readily available. Emphasis has therefore been 

placed on responsive supply support for those items 

specifically used by the respective weapons systems. 

This emphasis is in consonance with the Air Force's 

"Project Money Tree," which seeks maximum utilization of funds and property. 

Continued efforts are also being made to keep

in line with the USAF methods of accounting. A 

test is being conducted at one location to determine 

the feasibility and economy of establishing the Punch 

Card Accounting Method (PCAM) within the Air 

National Guard. 

Aircraft Inventory 

During FY 61, the Air National Guard aircraft 

inventory dropped from 2,269 to 1,999. The jet 

inventory decreased with disposal of F-86D and 

many F-86L aircraft and acquisition of C-119 and 

KC-97 aircraft. Despite this jet aircraft reduction, 

there was an increase in the Century series, with the 

acquisition of approximately 110 F-102s and 125 

F-lOOCs. The Century series inventory, composed 

of F-lOOs, F-102s and F-104s, makes up approximately 18 percent of the total Air Guard aircraft 

inventory. 

The increase in types of aircraft in the inventory has had a direct effect on equipment allowances. In order that personnel in the field may 

receive timely information with respect to additions 

and other changes in allowances, there is underway a 

gradual conversion of Bureau authorization listings 

into the machine system. 

To aid in the many aircraft conversions, the 

Supply Branch has developed an equipment list 

peculiar to the individual aircraft. As a result of conferences held with Air Guard base personnel, the 

items and quantities required were determined with 

a particular view toward economy and efficiency. 

This system enables the Base Supply Officer and 

Base Maintenance Officer to utilize one listing of 

necessary equipment, rather than searching through 

several. The various depots are also enabled to 

annotate the items and quantities they have availA formation of F-102 "Delta Daggers." 

able for redistribution, permitting individual bases 

to plan accordingly. 

A great deal of progress was made in equipping 

ground communications electronics units. Receipt 

of many new equipments and redistribution of assets 

in keeping with the new communications electronics 

force structure contributed greatly to the much 

improved equipment status of these units.

Vehicles 

The vehicle authorization in the Air National 

Guard increased slightly during FY 61 as a result of 

aircraft conversions and reorganization of communications and electronics units. The new vehicles replaced 1950, '51 and '52 models at an approximate 

total cost of $1,200,000. Among the replacements 

were new 6-passenger utility pickup trucks. Sixtyfive of these versatile vehicles, which combine the 

functions of pickup trucks and passenger vehicles,

were delivered to units this fiscal year. Another 425 

are scheduled for delivery during FY 62. 

Vehicle inventory control is now 99 percent 

accurate. As of 30 June 1961, the vehicle inventory 

consisted of approximately 8,600 vehicles, with a 

value of $45.2 million. 

Aircraft Maintenance 

Aircraft maintenance during FY 61 received a 

new look, with implementation of Air Force Manual 

66-1. This implementation, though primarily directed toward the 5-day week operation, was also 

made applicable to air technicians and units during 

drill periods and summer training. Unit commanders 

are now provided with a management tool for the 

conduct of air operations involving the present complex weapons system. This management function, 

of course, is something which commanders and 

maintenance officers have always accomplished for 

the utilization of personnel and equipment. Now, 

however, an up-to-the-minute aircraft status and 

speciaJist dispatch system provides the commander 

and maintenance officer with information required 

to accomplish the unit mission. 

The most significant change in Air Guard maintenance, other than the implementation of AFM 

V* 

let Engine Field Maintenance performed in Engine 

Buildup Shop. 

66-1. was the accomplishment of jet engine field 

maintenance at all Century series aircraft bases. This 

program goes hand in hand with the installation and 

fabrication of engine shops. In previous years, all 

engines were shipped back to an Aircraft maintenance depot for overhaul. With the capability of 

Air Guard squadrons to accomplish minor jet engine repair, the requirement for Air Force Logistical 

Command (AFLC) depots to overhaul Air Guard 

engines has been reduced by approximately 75 percent. This program saved the Air Force and the 

Air Guard approximately $1.6 million in labor and 

transportation costs. Although this is called a jet 

engine minor repair program, the extent of the 

maintenance performed is of major importance to 

the Air National Guard. 

Depot Maintenance 

Depot maintenance, accomplished primarily by 

a contract field team, included major modifications 

such as convening 47 F-104A and F-104B aircraft 

from a downward to an upward ejection system. A 

modification of this magnitude had never before 

been attempted outside an AFLC depot or a contractractor facility. This modification was accomplished 

at an Air Guard base with a minimum of difficulty, 

saving the Air Guard and the Air Force approximately $500,000. 

One depot program accomplished the removal 

of skis on C-123 aircraft, and work was performed 

on a small number of T-33, C-47. C-119 and SA-16 

aircraft in a contractor facility With these exceptions, all depot maintenance was performed in the 

field by contract field teams, at a cost of approximately $6,500,000. 
Programs and Requirements 

Mechanized transaction reports of changes in 

Unit Requirements Lists (URL) were far more 

timely and accurate during FY 61 than during the 

previous fiscal year. Continued emphasis was placed 

on the accuracy of these reports, particularly the 

necessity for complete reporting of all replacement 

item requirements and assets. 

Special action was directed on 17 February 

1961 to remove excess equipment from unit inventories. Actions at unit and base level were taken 

where necessary to adjust authorized requirements 

and assets. Gain and loss reports were received 

from the various base supply activities as excesses 

were turned in by the units and disposition instructions were furnished by the National Guard Bureau. 

Under the URL System, as established by ANGR 

67-83, the Bureau is provided with data concerning 

replacement item requirements and assets. This 

data is then used for distributing, redistributing and 

programming purposes. Unit URL data is reported 

by the Bureau to the Air Force Logistics Command 

for inclusion in overall Air Force requirement computations for buy budget programs. 

CIVI L ENGINEERIN G 

ACCOMPLISHMENT of the Air National 

Guard mission requires facilities for tactical flying 

units, training sites, and support facilities. On 30 

June 1961 the Air Guard was utilizing 92 flying 

fields and 40 non-flying installations located in each 

State, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. 

Of the flying fields, 37 are shared by the Air 

National Guard with the Air Force, Air Force ReAir National Guard installations, McGuire AFB, New Jersey.

serve, or Navy. The non-flying installations include 

such facilities as Aircraft Control and Warning Stations and Radio Relay Stations. 

The FY 61 construction program was geared 

to the continued modification and expansion of the 

base structure to keep pace with more modern jet 

aircraft and changing missions. Major projects initiated included 2 runway-taxiway extensions, 3 

apron expansions, 2 taxiways, 1 control tower, 1 

overrun. 1 runway rehabilitation and 5 maintenance 

docks. In addition, construction was begun on a 

complete complex of Air Guard facilities at the 

Jackson, Mississippi, Municipal Airport; and on F102 facilities, consisting of Weapons Calibration 

Shelter and Assembly and Checkout Building at 7 

installations. 

Real estate required for Air National Guard 

units is normally provided for under a Federal 

long-term lease at nominal cost. At some locations 

certain real estate is under USAF control (Government-owned) and is made available to the State 

under a license. 

Federal funds are used for construction of 

facilities as provided for in Chapter 133, Title 10, 

U.S. Code. The Congress annually authorizes 

projects on a line-item basis and appropriate funds 

for them. Unlike funds appropriated for operations 

and maintenance and for personnel, which must be 

expended within the fiscal year, appropriations for 

construction projects may be carried over to succeeding years. Congress authorized Air Guard construction projects for FY 61 amounting to $13,797,000. 

Construction action was initiated on projects representing an estimated total cost of $10,811,729. 

In addition to actual construction, $569,770 

of advance planning funds were authorized for $18,-

606,000 of anticipated construction authorization 

for FY 62. Advance planning in the form of designs 

and surveys has proved to be the most efficient method of developing a sound, orderly construction program. Through such planning, the considerations 

of lead time and use of available manpower receive 

more recognition, and better use is made of available labor and materials. 

76 
For the first time, the Air National Guard had 

a Minor Construction program. Congress authorized 

and appropriated $700,000 for such construction, 

most of which was used for engine build-up shops 

at various locations. Some funds were also applied 

to requirements created by aircraft conversions, 

such as alert shelters and crash stations. 

Major Repair and Modification 

In FY 61, over 1100 major repair and modification projects were accomplished at existing facilities 

at a total cost of $5,370,000. The work under 

this program was made necessary by conversions to 

more modern aircraft, and the acquisition of more 

complex support equipment. Also included in this 

program were requirements to realize more efficient 

methods of operation and to modernize aging facilities. 

Maintenance and Operations 

Facilities maintenance and utilities systems 

operation at Air Guard bases were accomplished by 

service contracts and agreements between the Federal Government-

 and the various States, Puerto 

Rico, and the District of Columbia. Under terms 

of these contracts and agreements, the Federal Government defrayed 75 percent of the actual cost, 

except at permanent field training sites where the 

entire cost was underwritten by the Federal Government. The total cost to the Federal Government 

in FY 60 for maintaining and operating Air Guard 

installations was $9,086,901.

Navigational Aids and Air Traffic 

Control 

The program to provide adequate ground navigational aids for flying units was greatly accelerated 

during the fiscal year, to keep pace with the phaseout of ground low-frequency radio ranges and the 

improved Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) retrofit schedule for Air Guard aircraft. By the end of 

the fiscal year, all B-57, RB-57, F-84F, RF-84F 

and F-100 aircraft had been TACAN-equipped; 

F-86 aircraft are scheduled for retrofit in early FY 

62. 

These developments created an urgent need 

for the improvement of schedules for some FAA 

VORTAC (Tactical VHF Omni Range) installations, and the provision of ground TACAN facilities 

at locations not included in the Air Force or FAA 

TACAN/VORTAC programs. As a result, ANGoperated TACANs were installed at Bradley Field, 

Connecticut; Phelps Collins ANG Base, Alpena, 

Michigan; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Others were

scheduled for installation in FY 62 at Martin Airport, Baltimore, Maryland; and Clinton County AFB, 

Ohio. 

The Air National Guard took over temporary 

maintenance of Air Force TACAN at Niagara Falls 

Municipal Airport, New York. The TACAN at 

Buckley ANG Base, Colorado, was commissioned. 

The schedule FAA VORTAC installations at Springfield, Illinois, and Sioux City, Iowa, were reprogrammed to earlier dates in FY 62. 

New control tower installations were completed 

at Congaree ANG Base, South Carolina, and Key 

Field, Meridian, Mississippi. New control towers 

were scheduled for commissioning in early FY 62 

at Phelps Collins ANG Base, Alpena, Michigan, 

and Springfield, Ohio. The FAA took over operation 

of the Gulfport, Mississippi, control tower formerly 

operated by the Air Guard. At the end of FY 61, 

six control towers were being operated by Air 

Technicians.

Regulations and National Guard Bureau Pamphlets. 

This pamphlet also provides a list of all regulations 

and pamphlets rescinded or superseded in the past 

year. 

NGR 2-3 (Military Publications—Distribution 

of National Guard Bureau Publications and Blank 

Forms) has been developed to establish a system and 

formula for distribution of National Guard Bureau 

publications and blank forms. 

Personnel

entry of "Indefinite" in the expiration date column 

on DD Forms 2A(Res) issued to Army National 

Guard technicians. 

NGR 57 (Reports—Morning Report—ArmyNational Guard) was changed to require the States 

to furnish certain statistical data on the Morning 

Report concerning the State Officer Candidate School 

and its branches. 

NGR 20-1 (Appointment, Assignment and

It also authorizes Army Guard aviators in the grade

if all other positions in the unit in the grade of captain 

and above are filled. 

NGR 25-1 (Enlistment and Reenlisrment) was 

changed to include: (1 ) the enlistment program and 

training agreement for non-prior service personnel 

enlisting in the Army National Guard; (2) ineligibility provisions pertaining to officers affected by 

Reserve Officer Personnel Act (ROPA) elimination; 

and (3) enlistment and reenlistment without a break 

in service of certain personnel who have four or more 

dependents. 

NGR 25-4 (Personnel Records) was changed 

to provide for: (1) clarification of recording of State 

service awards in section 10, DA Form 24; (2) 

placement of DA Form 1041 (Election of Options) 

in the right side of the Personnel Records Jacket to

all personnel reverting to USAR control by reference 

to NGB PAM 75-2-3. The last change adds an 

appendix which furnishes U.S. Army Corps addresses 

and area of jurisdiction. 

NGR 25-5 (Active Duty for Training in Federal 

Status) is a new regulation which provides instructions for administering the six month active duty 

program for nonprior service personnel enlisting in 

the Army National Guard. This regulation implements the provisions of AR 130-15 and Public Law 

86-603. 

NGR 52 (Technicians—Payment and Accounting Procedures) New feautres in the revised regulation were: (1) authorization for local finance and 

accounting officers to make settlements of amounts 

due to deceased Army Guard technicians; and (2) 

adoption of the mandatory bi-weekly pay period. 

NGR 58 (Financial Administration—Pay of the

8 b 
entitlement features formerly published in NGR 58 

and NGR 59. Important new features of the regulation are: (1) adoption of the Military Pay Voucher 

System as the method of payment for all ARNG 

members; (2) special pay for medical and dental 

officers; (3) incentive pay for ARNG members performing parachute or demolition duty; and (4) mandatory requirements for specific information to be 

incorporated into special orders for supplemental 

training. 

NGB PAM 58-1 (Financial Administration— 

Military Pay Voucher System, Army National Guard) 

prescribes uniform payroll procedures for the processing of Army Guard payrolls under the Military 

Pay Voucher System. The provisions of this pamphlet implement the principles and policies contained 

in NGR 58. 

Training 

NGR 44 (Trophies and Awards) was changed 

to revise the Army Guard award for Efficiency in 

Training and to change the selection criteria for the 

"All National Guard" rifle and pistol teams. 

Two new awards, The Association of the United 

States Army Award and the Armor Leadership 

Award, have been added. 

NGB PAM 45-5 (Schedule of Classes for ArmyNational Guard Personnel) announces the schedule 

of classes for courses of instruction conducted at 

Army Service Schools which are appropriate for 

Army Guard personnel. 

Logistics 

NGR 75-3 (Federal Property—Care and Safeguarding) has been revised to: (1) outline the specific responsibilities of the State Adjutant General 

and unit commanders for the care and preservation 

of Federal property issued to Army Guard units; 

(2) impose more stringent controls on safekeeping 

of Federal property; (3) revise the basis for determining adequacy of security and regulatory controls 

within a facility; and (4) change reporting procedure 

in case of loss or theft of firearms, ammunition, or 

ammunition-propelling devices. 

NGB PAM 75-8-1 (Federal Property—Administrative Motor Vehicle Management) This is a new 

pamphlet which prescribes Army Guard procedures 

to establish and maintain a program for the management of General Transport Administrative Vehicles 

and to establish and operate transportation motor 

pools. 

NGR 76 (Maintenance of Supplies and Equipment—Responsibilities and Policies) was changed to 

reflect the following: (1) clarification of the position, duties and responsibilities of the State Maintenance Officer; (2) the requirement that State maintenance facility support plan be furnished annually 

to the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, as of 15 

January; (3) spot check inspections of all organizational maintenance shops, to be made quarterly; and 

(4) the requirement for submission of the Monthly 

Incident Report to the Chief of the National Guard 

Bureau. 

NGR 77-1 (Marking and Packing of Supplies 

and Equipment) implements provisions of AR 746-

10, which prescribes a Uniform system for the permanent marking of selected clothing and equipment 

items. 

Installations 

NGB PAM 74-2 (Repairs and Utilities—Army 

National Guard Program) was revised to delete the 

provisions which provided for direct purchase, under 

service contract, of machine tools, ground maintenance equipment, and cement mixers. 

Air National Guard 

A NGR 35-01 (Military Personnel—Retirement) 

was revised to clarify many points on which questions were raised under the previous regulation. The 

method of recording flying points was changed, so 

that year of service for retention now coincides with 

year of service for retirement, and there is now a 

formula for determining partial satisfactory retention 

years for persons transferring from other Armed 

Forces with different retention requirements. 

A NGR 35-04 (Military Personnel—Consolidated Unit Personnel Administration System 

[CUPAS]) supplements and modifies the provisions 

of Tactical Air Command (TAC) Regulation 35-1 

on the same subject, to reflect the degree of implementation required by units having a mobilization 

commitment to TAC. 

A NGR 36-02B (Officer Personnel—Federal 

Recognition of Appointment in the Air National 

Guard and Appointment as a Reserve of the Air 

Force) implements changes necessitated by enactment of P.L. 86-559, concerning officer appointments. The regulation contains minor changes in 

appointment criteria placed in effect previously by 

interim instruction. It also brings up to date the list 

of documents required by NGB for determination of 

eligibility for Federal recognition. 

87 
ANGR 36-03A (Officer Personnel—Federal 

Recognition Examining Boards for Appointment or 

Promotion in the Air National Guard) changes all 

references from the Continental Air Command to 

the gaining command, due to the change in the plan 

for management of the Air Reserve Forces. Federal 

recognition examining boards, previously convened 

by CONAC, are now convened by the major command to which the unit concerned will be assigned 

in the event of mobilization. 

ANGR 36-04B (Officer Personnel—Federal 

Recognition of Promotion in the Air National Guard 

and Promotion as a Reserve of the Air Force) implements the changes necessitated by enactment of P.L. 

86-559, concerning promotion of officers. This regulation includes in the definition of "deferred officer," 

one who is selected for promotion but declines to 

accept the promotion. A second lieutenant who is 

not promoted when he completes 3 years of promotion service, must be discharged on the day he completes the service, rather than within 30 days thereafter, as previously permitted. Provisions are also 

clarified for retention of air technicians employed 

prior to the effective date of the Reserve Officer Personnel Act (ROPA), to stipulate that such officers 

are not subject to elimination for reason of mandatory promotion or total years service maximums. 

Such officers may be removed without their consent 

before attaining age 60 only for cause, physical disability, or second failure of selection for promotion. 

ANGR 36-05A (Officer Personnel—Separation 

of Air National Guard Officers) provides discharge 

instructions for persons being considered for Efficiency Board action under ANGR 36-014, who submit resignation in lieu of further board action. It 

also corrects the definition of total years' service for 

ROPA elimination purposes. 

ANGR 36-014 (Officer Personnel—Discharge 

of Officers of the Air National Guard for Misconduct 

or Inefficiency) was revised to incorporate procedures 

for processing probationary officers in the manner 

provided by law. Probationary officers considered 

for discharge for reason of misconduct or inefficiency 

are not entitled to personal appearance before a 

board, as is the nonprobationary officer. Such cases 

now go through a streamlined procedure and are 

considered by the Air Force Personnel Board. All 

references to the Continental Air Command have 

been deleted, and "gaining command" substituted 

therefor, due to the change in the plan for management of the Air Reserve Forces. Efficiency Boards, 

previously convened by CONAC, are now convened 

by the major command to which the unit concerned 

will be assigned in the event of mobilization. 

ANGR 36-10A (Officer Personnel—Training 

Performance and Training Report) amends the basic 

regulation to provide that all copies of AF Form 475, 

Training Report, be forwarded directly to the State 

Adjutants General, rather than to the National Guard 

Bureau, and implements the AF Form 77a for use 

as a continuation sheet for the AF Form 1085, Reserve Officer Training Performance Report. This 

amendment also rearranged the reporting schedule 

in order that current, timely officer appraisals would 

be available for mandatory selection board review. 

A NCR 39-10A (Enlisted Personnel—Discharge) 

amends the basic regulation to specify that authority 

to discharge airmen as Reserves of the Air Force may 

be delegated below the State Adjutant General to 

commanders of wings, separate groups or separate 

squadrons. 

ANGR 39-29A (Enlisted Personnel—Promotion and Demotion of Airmen) amends the authority 

paragraph of the basic regulation to point out that, 

in certain instances, Air Training Command has the 

authority to effect promotion of Air Guard airmen 

as Reserves of the Air Force while they are attending 

technical training conducted by the Air Training 

Command. This regulation further provides that, 

when such promotion is effected, the Air Guard unit 

will take action to announce the Reserve of the Air 

Force promotion, and effect concurrent promotion 

in the Air National Guard of the State concerned.
