NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU 

WASHINGTON, D. C, 30 JUNE 1965 

TO THE SECRETARIES OF THE ARMY AND THE AIR FORCE: 

This 59th Annual Report of the Chief, National Guard Bureau, covering the fiscal year 1965, is 

respectfully submitted. 

Reflected herein is the stepped up tempo of National Guard operations that has been underway over 

the past decade in general, and since the Berlin Crisis of 1961-62 in particular. In this drive to 

attain operational readiness, we acknowledge the material and moral support of the President, the 

Congress, the Departments of Defense, the Army, the Air Force; and of the Governors of the 

50 States, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Without this support, Guardsmen—no 

matter how dedicated—could accomplish little for their country. 

The major operations recorded here include: A continuation of the program of participation in 

large scale field maneuvers with the active Army and active Air Force. The completion of the 

program to convert the Army Guard's fixed air defense sites to the NIKE HERCULES weapons 

system. Expansion of the weekend training plan to the extent of our resources. Continuation of 

the joint operation—called GUARDLIFT—in which Air Guard transports lift Army and Air 

Guardsmen from their home stations to field exercises, and to summer training areas, including 

Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The accomplishments of a major staff operation in formulating a 

troop list that conforms to the proposed plan to merge the reserve components of the Army. 

The Air Guard demonstrated the global capabilities of its tactical units by deploying a composite 

strike force on non-stop flight to Europe. The strike force was refueled enroute by Air Guard 

aerial tankers, and supported by Air Guard cargo aircraft. In addition to conducting GUARDLIFT, 

and supporting other Guard operations, our transport aircraft flew an increasing number of cargo 

missions overseas in support of the Military Air Transport Service (MATS). Air defense units 

continued standing runaway alert to intercept unidentified aircraft. 

These operations and others are covered in more detail in the pages of this report. Together, 

they form the record of a significant year in the long history of the Guard, and, by the same 

token, a productive year for national defense.

Congress appropriated $800,624,000 for the Army and Air National Guard in FY 1965. 

While a substantial sum, this represents less than 2 percent of 

the entire FY 1965 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 the United States military strength, not only to augment the 

active Army and Air Force in time of national peril, but to perform 

essential service in peacetime as well. 

The following pages give the overall view, the "big picture" of

MISSION, 

ORGANIZATION AND 

ADMINISTRATION 
MISSION I 

OF 

THE 

/ NA TIONAL 

I GUARD 

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 gerferal policy stated 

in current law (Section 102, Title 32, United States Code) 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 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 Stateadministrated military force. The dual State-Federal missions are 

set forth in National Guard Regulation No. 45,' and Air National 

Guard Regulation No. 20-1. The State mission is to provide units 

organized, trained, and equipped that under competent orders of 

Federal or State authorities will provide protection of life and 

property and preserve peace, order and public safety. The Federal 

mission is to provide units with trained personnel and sufficient 

and suitable equipment, capable and ready for mobilization in time 

of war or national emergency to support the Army and Air Force. 
ORGANIZATION 

The Army National Guard in Our "One Army" 

The Army National Guard, an integral part of the nation's first 

line defenses, complements the active Army and supports its 

missions as illustrated in the chart. 

First, are shown the Army's world-wide overseas commitments, 

in Europe, Southeast Asia, Middle East, and in Korea. 

Next, are the Army Forces in the Continental United States, 

including those prepared for rapid deployment overseas. These 

include Air Defense Missile Units, the Strategic Army Forces 

(STRAF), and the support base for the entire Army. The Army 

Naitonal Guard units that are integrated with these first line 

defenses include: 

Army National Guard Nike batteries that are part of key industrial and population areas. 

Guard units to round out the Strategic Army Forces. The remaining Army National Guard units shown in the bottom are: 

Six ARNG Division Forces which are part of the Army's 22-

Division Force which witl move up to replace STRAF divisions as 

they are deployed overseas.

AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FIRST LINE DEFENSESACTIVE ARMY OVERSEAS 

ARNG 

Two ARNG Special Mission Divisions with the mission of 

employment in specific critical areas in support of war plans. 

Eleven Infantry and four Armored Divisions, together with the 

nondivisional combat, combat support and technical services units 

needed for full mobilization. 

Air National Guard: A Global Force 

Similarly, the Air National Guard fits into and supports U.S. Air 

Force missions as shown on the chart below. 

At the top are the Air Force's world-wide commitments, such as 

NATO, SEATO, Middle East, and the Far East. 

Next are shown the gaining commands to which Air Guard units 

are assigned upon mobilization. These include the Tactical Air 

Command {TAC), Air Defense Command (ADC), Military Air Transport 

Service (MATS), Alaskan Air Command (AAC), Air Force Logistics 

Command (AFLC) and the Air Force Communications Service 

(AFCS). In addition, the Hawaii Air National Guard is committed 

to the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) and one Air Guard communications 

unit is committed to the Air University at Maxwell Air Force Base, 

Alabama. 

The bottom line reflects the types of units comprising the 

ANG force structure. As the arrows indicate, some Air Guard units 

are serving in peacetime as integral elements of active Air Force 

commands. For instance, all ANG Fighter-Interceptor squadrons 

assigned to the Air Defense Command maintain a 24-hour runway 

alert at all times under ADC control. Air Guard tactical squadrons 

perform peacetime missions for TAC. ANG heavy transports carry 

cargo for MATS. Air Guard Ground Electronics Engineering 

(GEEIA) Squadrons handle communications construction projects 

on USAF missile sites and other bases.

NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU 

The National Guard Bureau is both a staff and 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 communications between the States and the Departments of the Army and the Air Force. (AR 130-5/AFR 45-2 which 

implements section 3015(a) of title 10, United States Code, as 

amended by Section 12, Department of Defense Reorganization Act 

of 1958 (Act, 6 Aug. 1958, 72 Stat. 514,521). 

The organization of the National Guard Bureau is shown on the 

chart. At the end of FY 1965, the office of the Assistant Chief, NGB, 

Army National Guard, was organized into five divisions, and the 

o'ffice of the Assistant Chief, NGB, Air National Guard, was organized into six divisions. Also, in the Bureau "overhead" organization 

were the Administrative Office and the Office of the Legal Adviser; 

Office of Public Affairs and Office of Plans, Policy, and Programs. 

One new office was added during FY 1965: The Aerospace Safety 

office. This office advises and assists the Assistant Chief, National 

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.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS 

The Public Affairs program of the National Guard Bureau has 

a two-fold mission—first to recruit and retain Army and Air Guard 

personnel and second, to plan and coordinate public relations 

activities on a national level. 

During FY 1965 a continued emphasis was placed upon the role 

of recruiting and retention. This effort by the Office of Public 

Affairs was particularly directed toward young company grade 

officers and to certain career fields in which the Army and Air 

National Guard faced critical shortages. 

A total of $400,000 from Federal appropriations was expended 

during FY 1965. Almost all of this amount was contracted to a 

commercial advertising agency for the development and production 

of print, radio and television materials to be distributed to the 

States and to broadcasting stations throughout the country for free 

public service support for the Army and Air National Guard. 

The "Challenge" theme, adopted for recruiting last year, was 

continued on through FY 65. Asking potential Guardsmen, "Are 

you good enough to be a member of the National Guard?", this 

theme was aimed at the individual possessing confidence, character and initiative. 

Posters and displays were printed in such a manner that each 

States' name could be included and thereby localize the material 

for their particular publicity and recruiting needs.

The Department of Defense proposal to merge the National 

Guard and Reserve forces, and the consequent Congressional hearings placed an unexpected additional load upon the public relations activity of the Office of Public Affairs. 

National press coverage of the proposed merger was extensive 

and enthusiastic. It resulted in scheduling many interviews between the press and National Guard officials, and replying to a 

large number of bona fide press queries. The Guard's prominence 

in the news also brought an increase in requests for speaking engagements by National Guard personages. At the National Guard 

Bureau, the majority of these speeches were either prepared or 

edited and cleared by the Public Affairs-Office. 

Public relations and information personnel were detailed to a 

number of important events in which the National Guard participated to represent the Office of Public Affairs. National Guard 

officers worked in press centers in POLAR STRIKE, READY GO, 

and other major military operations. In addition writers were dispatched to some lesser operations such as HIGHLAND FLING, to 

generate copy concerning the National Guard's participation in 

the exercise. 

A floor exhibit explaining the role of the National Guard was 

displayed at the Association of the United States Army National 

Convention in Washington, D.C. 

A mobile exhibit depicting the role of the militia in the Civil 

War was retired in March after four years of extensive use. The 

exhibit, mounted in a bus, was displayed at many prominent events 

in 29 states during its four-year tour around the country. Display 

personnel and drivers were furnished by the State hosting the 

exhibit. 

"Guard Session," the weekly 15-minute music-interview show 

distributed to radio stations for free public service programming, 

was sent on a monthly basis to some 2,200 stations. Top names in 

show business were again featured in the program hosted by Martin 

Block. Shows in FY 65 featured Mitch Miller, the New Christy 

Minstrels, Steve Lawrence, Vic Damone, Stan Kenton, Tony Bennett, 

Lawrence Welk, Jerry Vale, Percy Faith, Teresa Brewer, Peggy Lee 

and Nancy Wilson. 

"Lombardoland, U. S. A.", an Air National Guard radio program, 

was continued for the fourteenth successive year on the Mutual 

Broadcasting System. 

A special recording of Christmas holiday songs were also sent 

to radio stations. Featured on this recording were: George Shearing, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Connie Francis, Keely Smith and 

Johnny Mathis. 

In addition a National Guard jingle record featuring "name" 

show people and sets of printed spot announcements were released 

to radio stations. 

For television use two sets of varied-time period spots were 

produced in slide form. During the holiday season a number of 

television spots were released for use during the football "Bowl" 

games. 

Throughout FY 65, the Office of Public Affairs conducted its 

regular course of activities creating and placing numerous news 

releases, speeches, periodical and encyclopedia articles, and other 

materials cleared or released through the Departments of Defense, 

Army and Air Force. 

The National Guard Bureau coordinates this program. The 

names of trophy and awards winners are published after each 

competition. Supplementary information is made available for 

release to the press. 

The following trophies and awards are described in Appendix E:

Objectives of the National Guard Bureau Competitive Markmanship Training Program are: 

• Within the National Guard at large—to raise individual markmanship training overall to a level above that established by 

Department of Army basic marksmanship instruction and 

requirements. 

• To develop selected Guardsmen to the maximum level of 

marksmanship ability, together with the rigid physical and 

mental conditioning, and the extensive competitive match 

experience necessary to successfully represent the National 

Guard of the United States in open Army, Air Force, National, 

and International competitions. 

Instructions on the National Guard Competitive Marksmanship 

Training Program are contained in NGB Pamphlet 44-1/ANG Pamphlet 50-8. 

Army and Air National Guard personnel compete annually in 

rifle and pistol marksmanship at the State, Army Area, and National 

levels. Organizations, sponsoring the competition, include the National Rifle Association, the National Board for the Promotion of 

Rifle Practice, the National Guard Association and the Association 

of the United States Army. 

McCallister Trophy 

TROPHIES AND AWARDS PROGRAM 

The purpose of the trophies and awards program is to instill a 

spirit of wholesome rivalry among individuals, units, and organizations of the Army and Air National Guard and to stimulate thereby 

interest in proficiency in training and maintenance. To this end, 

-trophies and awards are presented annually by the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau, and other agencies to outstanding personnel and 

units in both the Army and Air National Guard. 

In 1964, 27 State pistol teams and 40 State rifle teams, composed of both Army and Air National Guard members participated 

in the National Matches held at Camp Perry, Ohio. An All-National 

Guard Rifle team competed in the National Matches, 1964, for the 

first time in the history of the National Guard. 

Although organized in the last few days of the 1964 National 

Matches, and with little time for proper team organization and 

training, the All-National Guard Rifle team turned in a remarkable 
'3 

performance. In addition to the National Trophy Match, the team 

competed in the Enlisted Men's Trophy Team Match and the Rumbold Trophy Rifle Team Match, winning first and fourth place 

respectively in the Reserve Category of these matches. 

In 1965, the All-National Guard Rifle and Pistol team will compete in the National Matches. The teams were selected from an AllNational Guard rifle and pistol squad composed of the top "shooter" 

of State teams firing in the Army area and regional matches. Prior 

to going to Camp Perry, each squad will report to Fort Custer, 

Michigan, for a 5-day pre-match practice. At the termination of the 

Individual Match phase, the All-Guard teams will be designated. 

While at Fort Custer, the prospective team members will be 

issued match grade weapons which have been accurized at the 

National Guard accurization shop located with the State maintenance shop of Tennessee. 

REGULATIONS 

The National Guard, when not in active Federal service, is 

governed by National Guard Regulations and Air National Guard 

Regulations. These regulations announce the approved policies of 

the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force 

pertaining to the Army and Air National Guard. Also certain procedural matters are published in National Guard Pamphlets and Air 

National Guard Pamphlets. These may be separate or joint publications, depending upon the applicability of the contents to both the 

Army and Air National Guard. Further, certain Army and Air Force 

regulations govern the Army and Air National Guard when specifically made applicable by the Chief, National Guard Bureau. 

During fiscal year 1965, a number of existing regulations were 

revised or amended. In addition new regulations and pamphlets 

were developed and published. A detailed resume is contained in 

Appendix F. 

PUBLICATIONS REVIEW BOARD 

Continuing emphasis was placed on achieving the most efficient 

distribution of essential publications and blank forms to units and 

activities of the Army National Guard. Elimination of nonessential 

publications is a primary objective. Stockpiling and waste were 

reduced significantly. 

$1,130,000 was programmed for the procurement of publications 

and forms during FY 1965. This amount included a specific sum of 

$130,000 for procurement of testing material from the U.S. Army 

Enlisted Evaluation Center, Indianapolis, Indiana. Obligations 

totalled $760,633. Non-obligation of programmed amount is attributable to: 

• Suspension of MOS testing for the ARNG upon completion 

of the February 1965 tests. 

• Constant surveillance of actual, as opposed to desirable, 

requirements for publications and blank forms. 

• Maximum utilization of resources at all levels of command. 

Pinpoint distribution of publications to battalion and separate 

company levels was implemented in the States of Kansas and 

Virginia. This battalion distribution, differing from active Army 

distribution which is made to company and battery level, is considered essential for units of the ARNG, inasmuch as it: 

• Places command responsibility for this program on the battalion commander. 

• Permits actual training of the battalion S-l section in a function which must be assumed upon mobilization. 

• Places the unit in a higher degree of readiness for mobilization. 

Initial reports received from commanders concerned, indicate 

that this type of distribution, with very few exceptions due to 

geographical dispersion, is feasible and efficient. Receipt of publications by units and activities has been greatly accelerated. The 

extension of this program to all units of the ARNG is being studied. 

STATE SERVICE 

Every State depends on the National Guard for assistance in 

natural disasters and extreme civil emergencies when control and 

recovery are beyond the capabilities of other State and municipal 

agencies. This State service rendered by the National Guard evidences the importance of the Guard to the States. 

In hundreds of instances each year Governors of States have 

called out the National Guard to assist for periods ranging from a 

few hours to several weeks. The cost of these activities is borne 

entirely by the States. Duties in these instances include such 

things as sandbagging swollen rivers and streams, assisting in 

hurricanes, snow emergencies, forest fires, search and rescue, 

emergency traffic control, and quelling prison riots. 

During the last half of FY 65, Army and Air National Guardsmen were called for emergency State duty somewhere in the 

United States on all but 49 of the 181 days. The periods of State 

duty ranged from one day to several weeks. The emergency duty 

was performed either at State expense or as non-paid contributed 

service by individual Guardsmen and entire units. 

Missions included flying reconnaissance for Vice President 

Humphrey over flooded areas of Minnesota, riot control, provision 

of emergency power to tornado-stricken communities, evacuation 

of families threatened by floods and blizzards, and the cordoning 

off of an entire section of Witchita, Kansas, following a major air 

disaster. 

Major items of equipment employed were Army and Air National Guard aircraft, bulldozers, road graders, scoop loaders, 

trucks, and DUKW's. 

A total of 24,034 Army Guardsmen and 1,384 Air Guardsmen responded to local, State and regional emergencies. The peak of 

National Guard State operations came in April, when tornados and 

floods throughout the Midwest resulted in calls to active duty of 

13,202 Army and Air Guardsmen. 

The following brief accounts are only typical of State services 

rendered by the National Guard during FY 1965. 

Hurricane Hilda 

At midnight, 1 October 1964, as Hurricane Hilda headed for the 

Louisiana coastline, the first call was made for Guardsmen to 

assist in the evacuation of the entire area. Company A, 1st Battalion, 156th Infantry, in St. Mary's Parish, was the first unit to 

respond, and 48 hours later, at the height of the storm, was still 

evacuating people, directing traffic, and patrolling areas, despite 

100-mile per hour winds and torrential rains. On 5 October, when 

Governor McKeithen flew over the stricken areas to assess the 

damage, Guardsmen were still on duty. 

Throughout Saturday, tornados on the fringe of the hurricane 

caused additional havoc. Guardsmen rushed to the scene and 

helped to take the dead and injured from the wreckage and transport them to the nearest hospitals. Members of Company C, 769th 

Signal Battalion, were in the vicinity of Larose when a tornado 

leveled the village, killing 21 persons and injuring 160 others. A 

70-foot water tower was blown down on the City Hall in Erath, 

killing eight Civil Defense workers and injuring three others. 

Before Hilda was gone, more than 700 Louisiana Guardsmen, 

from more than a dozen communities, operating in an area of 

several hundred square miles, and using 150 vehicles, had assisted 

in the evacuation of over 150,000 residents. They searched the 

wreckage, transported the injured, controlled traffic, and patrolled 

abandoned communities to prevent looting. 

Storms and Floods 

During April and early May when floods and tornados ravaged 

11 States in the Midwest and South, National Guardsmen again 

provided emergency assistance to their fellow citizens. Guards-
>4 

men in Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin battled both flood and 

tornado. In Iowa and Missouri, they fought floods; while Indiana, 

Michigan, Ohio, Arkansas, Nebraska and Tennessee units were 

called to tornado-stricken areas. Some Guardsmen were performing this State duty, even though their own homes lay in ruin. 

At Toledo, Ohio, more than 320 Guardsmen moved into the 

disaster area hit by a tornado which killed 13 and injured more than 

170 persons. They remained on duty for four days, manning some 

20 patrols and traffic control points. 

In Indiana, 12 April 1965, a number of tornados claimed 141 

lives and injured more than 2,000 persons. Nearly 4,000 Army and 

Air Guardsmen were called to State duty. They provided 5,000 mandays in eight days of duty, performing security patrols, search and 

rescue missions, and other emergency assistance. Guard aviators 

and mechanics of the 36th Aviation Battalion made a complete 

aerial survey of the damaged areas. Emergency radio communications and power were provided by the 138th Signal Battalion and 

the 235th Mobile Communications Squadron. The ANG unit also 

provided emergency power for runway lights at Fort Wayne. Some 

Guardsmen had their homes destroyed by the winds, but didn't 

miss a turn when their unit was called to duty. Armories were 

used as temporary morgues, salvage collection points, shelter for 

homeless, and as feeding stations for the thousands of homeless 

and rescue workers. 

In Michigan, on 11 April 1965, tornados struck in seven counties, killing 47 persons and injuring 788 others. Six Army National 

Guard units were called into service to join other agencies in 

search and rescue work. They took up security and patrol duties. 

At Grand Rapids, Company A and Company C, 3d Battalion, 126th 

Infantry, went into action almost immediately. About the same 

time, two tornados hit Pearl Beach and Crystal Beach areas, and 

members of Company C and Company D, 107th Maintenance Battalion, were soon in the areas. Other units assisting in the devastated areas were Company B, 156th Signal Battalion and Battery 

C, 2d Battalion, 119th Artillery. 

In Iowa, 3,000 Guardsmen and hundreds of pieces of equipment 

were used to fight floods throughout April and early May. Some 

National Guard units had men on duty for more than 30 days, 

as the Cedar, Des Moines, Iowa, Little Sioux Rivers and finally the 

Mississippi River reached flood stage. Guardsmen operating 

DUKW's transported 1,120 school children, in a unique school bus 

operation, and 1,150 doctors, nurses, and volunteer sandbaggers. 

They delivered mail and groceries, and moved 300 tons of sandbags. Guard helicopters were used in rescue and medical evacuation flights. They helped build levees, repaired breaks in dams, 

and patrolled them looking for weak spots and potential danger 

areas. Among the units, ranging from medical to transportation, 

on flood duty where the 2d Battalion, 133d Infantry, with hundreds 

of men; 170 members of HHC, 1st Battalion, 113th Armor, put in 

nearly 3,000 man-days; men from the 1st Howitzer Battalion, 185th 

Artillery accomplished more than 5,000 man-days; and units of the 

224 Engineer Battalion added up some 3,000 man-days. 

In Minnesota, Guardsmen fought flood waters throughout April, 

and in early May, they were on State duty in areas hit by numerous 

tornados. More than 600 Guardsmen from 11 units were called to 

State duty beginning 6 April as the Vermillion River and then the 
IS 

Red, Minnesota, and Mississippi Rivers reached flood stage. The 

newly organized Military Support to Civil Defense Group had its 

first workout when the State National Guard Headquarters went on 

24-hour duty. The Army and Air Guardsmen used DUKW's, helicopters, Engineer assault boats, searchlights, trucks, communications equipment, airplanes, and Guardsman ingenuity and resourcefulness in their disaster service. They evacuated people and farm 

animals, transported food, and other supplies, assisted in search 

and rescue, and conducted anti-looting patrols. On 7 May, when 

tornados hit the Minneapolis suburbs killing 12 and injuring more 

than 300 persons, more than 100 Guardsmen were called to assist. 

The State Adjutant General reported that most Minnesota Guard 

units were on a volunteer, non-pay status for periods of from 24 

to 48 hours before being called to State duty. Some of these 

units were on State duty for as much as 21 days fighting floods. 

Search and Rescue 

A New York Army Guardsman, on a routine helicopter ferry 

flight, plucked two men from the roof of a burning building seconds 

before it collapsed. Warrant Officer Charles J. Humphries of the 

42d Infantry Division Aviation Battalion, spotted smoke from the 

building and a group of men frantically signaling him. He landed 

and was told that two men were trapped on the roof. The rescue 

was accomplished one man at a time by using the helicopter's 

downdraft to clear away the smoke and placing one skid on a 

side wall. Mr. Humphries was presented New York State's highest 

military decoration, the Medal of Valor, and has been recommended 

for the Soldier's Medal. 

Within an hour after the Highway Patrol asked for assistance 

after a nightime crash of an airline plane, members of Companies 

A and B of the 1st Battalion, 109th Armor, Tennessee ARNG, were 

on the scene. Throughout the night, they roped off the crash area, 

organized a search crew which questioned citizens along the flight 

path, searched for and recovered the 39 victims' bodies, and used 

jeeps to remove the dead from places ambulances couldn't reach. 

The Newport Armory became a temporary morgue. During four 

days of emergency duties, Guardsmen searched the area working 

with Civil Aeronautics Board personnel in a helicopter. 

MILITARY SUPPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE 

The Secretary of the Army, on 8 June 1964, approved and assigned the new mission of Military Support of Civil Defense within 

the Continental United States (CONUS) to the 48 State Adjutants 

General and their State National Guard Headquarters. 

With the assignment of the new mission to "coordinate, plan 

and control operations for the military support of civil authorities 

responsible for civil defense", a Program Change Proposal was submitted on 31 July 1964 to the Secretary of Defense. 

The ultimate objective of this program change is to fully implement the Military Support of Civil Defense mission assigned the 

48 CONUS State Adjutants General and their State Headquarters 

and, establish an Office of Military Support of Civil Defense within 

the National Guard Bureau. 

The Program Change was approved by the Deputy Secretary of 

Defense on 20 November 1964, to the extent that funding support 

for FY 1965 would be provided from available resources of the Army 

National Guard. Funds made available were adequate to initiate 

partial implementation of the program in the States for the remainder of FY 1965. 

The National Guard Bureau initiated the program in the 48 

CONUS States on 1 January 1965, to the extent available funding 

would permit. The States were authorized 123 technicians for the 

remainder of FY 1965 with full employment of 214 technicians 

scheduled for 1 July 1965. Resources funded each State for the 

last half of FY 1965 was sufficient to employ 3 full-time planning 

technicians in each of the larger type States and 2 technicians in 

each of the smaller type States. Since a one time procurement of 

office equipment and furniture was to be completed during FY 1965, 

full funding was provided for these items. Partial funding was provided for travel, per diem and miscellaneous expenses, based on 

the six month requirement. Phasing employment of technicians over 

the six month period made it possible for the States to exceed the 

123 technicians authorized. On 30 June 1965, there were 142 fulltime military support planning technicians employed in 45 States. 

State military support technicians have taken advantage of 

instructional courses offered by the Office of Civil Defense, Department of the Army; at the Staff College, Battle Creek, Michigan; the 

Western Training Center, Alameda, California; and the Eastern 

Training Center, Brooklyn, New York. Courses attended were: Civil 

Defense Management, and Defense Planning and Operations. 

DOD Directive 3025.10, dated 29 March 1965, provided for the 

establishment under the Commander of the Unified Commands for 

Alaska, Hawaii and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, of a military 

headquarters to plan for, and conduct operations in support of 

civil defense utilizing the Adjutants General and their headquarters. 

Based on this directive, the National Guard Bureau submitted to the 

Secretary of Defense a Program Change Proposal to extend the 

Military Support of Civil Defense program to include Alaska, Hawaii 

and Puerto Rico. This program change was requested on the same 

basis as previously requested and approved for the 48 CONUS 

States. 

DATA SYSTEMS 

NGB 

Data processing activities of the National Guard Bureau (NGB) 

previously located in the Pentagon were transferred to the Nassif 

Building, Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia. This organization, the 

National Guard Computer Center (NGCC), was established as a 

Class II activity. A card processor was added to the punch card 

machines (PCM) on hand. This served to speed up the work of the 

Center in the preparation of both ARNG and ANG reports. 

ARNG 

In all the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the 

District of Columbia, sites were prepared for the installation of 

PCM, and one or more key punches, a verifier, sorter and collator 

were leased. In addition, eight States leased an interpreter, reproducing punch, and accounting machine. It is planned to issue 

this type of additional equipment to all States in FY 1966. Surplus 

control panels and wire were obtained from various sources and 

redistributed to the States. Support equipment such as card files 

and carbon separators were purchased centrally and provided to 

each State Data Processing Center (DPC). The States were also authorized to transfer technician space to these activities. 

Personnel accounting procedures were prepared and forwarded 

to all States. California and Pennsylvania, at NGB request, developed fiscal and logistical procedures for their own operations. 

These procedures were used as guides for the other States. The 

new equipment and procedures were discussd by the USPFO's, their 

comptrollers, and logistics officers at conferences held in Poughkeepsie, New York, for the Eastern States and San Jose, California, 

for the Western States. Later, several States received delegations 

from other States that were interested in observing operations and 

discussing mutual problems. The NGB issued various instructions 

to the States and received reports from them which assisted in an 

evaluation of their progress. 

ANG 

Modification and limited improvement of equipment was authorized the Flying Bases and the Control and Communications 

Groups.

FOREWORD ARMY 

NATIONAL 

GUARD 

Fiscal year 1965 included events of particular significance in the history 

of the modern Army National Guard. It was a year in which a major 

reorganization of the nation's landpower reserve was proposed, and plans 

to implement the proposal remained under Congressional study as the year 

ended. It was a year in which natural disasters made heavy demands upon 

Guardsmen for relief and rescue work; one in which the mission of • 

maintaining public order and security under conditions of civil disturbance 

again tested the discipline and ability of Guardsmen. Overall, it was a 

year in which the world political situation exerted an increased pressure 

for readiness on the Army Guard as an integral part of the nation's first line, 

of defense. 

The Secretary of Defense on 12 December 1964 announced a plan to merge 

the unit structure of the nation's Army landpower reserve by bringing all 

paid drill units into the Army National Guard and to eliminate those units 

for which there is no military requirement. A troop list developed by the 

Army to meet these new requirements was broken out by the National Guard 

Bureau into State troop lists to meet the requirements of both the Armies 

and the States. These State troop lists were accepted by the Governors 

as they concerned their respective States. At the close of FY 65, Congress 

was considering necessary legislation to initiate the proposed merger of the 

reserve components. 

While performing the major staff action required by the proposed merger, 

the Army Guard continued to march toward the highest readiness goals 

attainable within the limitations of its resources. 

Strength of the Army National Guard at the end of the fiscal year stood at 

378,985, a decrease from the fiscal year 1964 end strength of 381,546. The 

average strength maintained during the fiscal year exceeded 95 percent of 

the authorized and represented a major achievement in recruiting by the 

States in view of the many factors present during the year considered 

unfavorable to recruiting. The strength trend at the end of the year was 

favorable to the early attainment of the authorized priority aggregate of 

all units. 

During the last month of the fiscal year, the Secretary of the Army formally 

assigned the mission of military support of civil defense to the Adjutants 

General of the Continental United States. When fully implemented, this 

mission will place under the Adjutants General the coordination, planning, 

and control of all military support of the civil authorities who have the 

final responsibility for civil defense in their respective States. 

During the fiscal year, GUARDLIFT I was completed, and GUARDLIFT II was 

launched through teamwork with the Air National Guard. Each of these 

operations involved the air lift of approximately 10,000 Army Guardsmen to 

maneuvers or to summer field training. The benefits from the training in air 

mobility and in enabling Army Guardsmen to train in new areas have 

proven the GUARDLIFT series to be a success to be exploited to the extent 

that resources permit. In addition units participated in active Army 

exercises in CONUS and Alaska. 

The following pages contain the record of this year of effort by officers and 

men throughout the Army Guard establishment. It is a record of much that 

has been done, and of much remaining to be done in attaining the goal of 

an Army Guard that is strong in manpower, well armed, and responsive in 

spirit to the needs of national defense. 
COMPTROLLER FUNCTIONS 

The Congress appropriated $479,724,000 for the support of the 

Army National Guard for FY 1965. These funds were included in 

three appropriations, covering military personnel, operating costs 

(including technician pay) and the construction of armory and nonarmory facilities.

The ARNG Personnel budget submitted to the Congress requested $274,500,000 to support an estimated beginning strength of 

376,000 and an end strength of 395,000. This request included funds 

for an input of 82,900 into the Reserve Enlistment Program (REP63) training. To the initial request, Congress added $2,000,000 for 

the school program, and $1,000,000 to provide subsistence for an 

expansion of the week-end training program. 

The ARNG Operation and Maintenance budget of $188,000,000 

submitted to the Congress was appropriated. During the year a 

supplemental appropriation of $3,424,000 was made to support the 

pay increases for technicians and NGB civilian employees under 

the provisions of Public Law 88-426.

Funds remaining available for FY 1966 12,052,578 

* The FY 65 obligation program was $7,800,000. In December 1964, due to the 

proposed merger and realignment of the Army National Guard ond the Army Reserve in FY 66, the Department of Defense deferred all armory projects, ond all 

but four non-armory projects for the remainder of the fiscal year. This resulted 

in the reduction in the funds obligated. 

Funding 

For ARNG Personnel, $274,500,000 plus $900,000 in appropriation reimbursements was apportioned to the Comptroller of the 

Army and allocated to the NGB and other agencies to support a 

strength program beginning at 381,546 and ending at 400,000, with 

an average strength of 389,814 and a REP input of 82,900. An additional $3 million added to the appropriation was withheld in the 

apportionment but $1 million was released later in the fiscal year 

to support the subsistence costs of the expanded week-end training program. The remaining $2 million was applied to support part 

of the military pay increases authorized in the Uniformed Services 

Pay Act of 1964 (PL 88-422). 

Estimated increased pay costs of PL 88-422, totaling $2,576,000, 

were financed by the application of the $2,000,000 indicated above 

and the balance was absorbed within the ARNG personnel appropriation by funds becoming available as the result of the slippage 

in the strength program and by an REP input below the budget 

level in the first half of the fiscal year. Continuation of the 

strength program at a lower level and the reduced REP input 

resulted in further savings and the transfer of $5,000,000 to the DOD 

Emergency Fund. 

The strength at the beginning of the fiscal year was 381,546, 

and at the year-end was 378,985. The average strength was 376.957, 

with an REP input of 74,626. The year-end strength of 378,985, 

represented a steady gain from a February low of 374,503. 

Initial funding for ARNG Operation and Maintenance was 

$186,900,000 with $1,100,000 withheld. This latter amount was released later in the fiscal year with $800,000 being authorized for 

Military Support for Civil Defense, and $300,000 for organizational 

equipment. A supplemental appropriation of $3,424,000 was provided to cover the cost of the increase in graded civilian salary 

rates for NGB employees, and the increase for Army National Guard 

technicians provided by PL 88-426, Federal Employees Salary Act 

of 1964.

Finance Services 

Revisions in the policy and procedures pertaining to Federal 

pay and allowances of Army National Guard personnel were developed and published as changes to NGR 58 and NGB Pamphlet 

58-1 during fiscal year 1965. These revisions included policy and 

procedural changes in regard to travel and transportation allowances authorized for Army National Guard members; the appointment of officers of the Army National Guard of the United States as 

Class B Agent officers to finance and accounting officers of the 

active Army, and the payment of armory training payrolls in cash 

as well as by U. S. Treasury check. 

During FY 65, a total of 146 incapacitation payrolls covering 

continuation of pay and allowances to Army National Guard members for disease or injury incurred in line of duty were reviewed 

and processed. The procedures prescribed in NGR 58 require 

that such incapacitation payrolls be submitted to the National 

Guard Bureau for examination and administrative approval, when 

the prescribed medical certificate is not signed by a uniformed 

services medical officer.

Audit and Reports of Survey PERSONNEL 

The U. S. Army Audit Agency completed and submitted 22 

audit reports pertaining to Army National Guard activities in the 

various States during FY 65. These audit reports included the 

status and conditions of Federal funds and property accounts 

maintained by 42 percent of the United States Property and Fiscal 

Officers (USPFO's) in the States. The findings and recommendations were reported in detail to State authorities, the National 

Guard Bureau, and the Department of the Army. These audit reports and the replies of corrective action taken by the States were 

reviewed and analyzed by the National Guard Bureau. They were 

also used as a basis for establishing or improving management 

and internal control procedures. The value of these audits was indicated by the fact that four of the States audited during fiscal 

year 1965 had no major findings. The scope was expanded by the 

Army Audit Agency to include the audit of units during annual 

field training. 

Final action was completed during FY 65 to clear the outstanding pecuniary charges raised in a group of ten reports of 

survey dated prior to 13 May 1952, totalling $44,373. These reports 

of survey charges were related to the reorganization of the Army 

National Guard after World War II. Current National Guard regulations prescribe policy and procedures for property accountability, 

supply procedures and accounting for lost, damaged or destroyed 

property. 

Financial Management Plan 

As a result of the system and procedures which were tested 

during fiscal year 1963 and 1964 under the title of "Project MAC," 

an improved fiscal accounting and management structure was 

developed and approved during fiscal year 1965 for the Operation 

and Maintenance Army National Guard appropriation budget and 

accounting in FY 66. The new structure of uniform activity accounts follows organizational lines in order to provide an improved 

system of managing and controlling the utilization of resources. 

Plans and procedures were also developed during fiscal year 

1965 to improve the method of reporting financial data by automatic 

data processing equipment. This action is expected to reduce 

reporting errors and to provide more accurate and reliable reports 

from the various States on the status of funds. 

Reports Control 

During FY 1965 the number of controlled, recurring reports 

required by the National Guard Bureau from the several States increased by two to a total of 26. In addition to these reports required from the States, the number of recurring reports required 

from active Army commands by the National Guard Bureau increased by one to a total of four. A new reports control register 

was completed in the early part of FY 65. 

Review and Analysis 

Review and analysis of the Army National Guard program in 

FY 65 continued to serve as a valuable management tool. Key National Guard Bureau and Department of the Army personnel were 

informed periodically on Army National Guard program accomplishment. Significant deficiencies, excesses and problem areas requiring corrective action were highlighted. 

While performance was satisfactory in most areas, uncertainties 

in connection with the proposed realignment and merger of the 

reserve components curtailed accomplishment in certain areas. 

Slippage in the Reserve Enlistment Program and the resultant 

strength shortfall were significant. In addition, the full objective 

of the Army National Guard military construction program could 

not be achieved, due to the stop-order placed on the program in 

December 1964 by the Department of Defense pending outcome of 

the merger proposal.

Military Strength 

The federally recognized strength of the active Army National 

Guard on 30 June 1965 was 378,985. When compared with the 

381,546 strength at the end of FY 64, a net decrease of 2,561 is 

shown by FY 65. The FY 65 year-end strength was 21,015 short of 

the 400,000 authorized for the Army National Guard. Average 

strength for FY 65 was 376,957.

A table showing year-end and average strengths from 1948-1965 is 

attached as Appendix I. 

The decrease in Army National Guard strength which began 

in the final months of FY 64, continued into FY 65. The States were 

not successful in procuring non-prior servicemen in the numbers 

required. By mid-year there was a net strength decrease of 5,329 

which reduced strength to 376,217. Approximately 92 percent of 

this decrease occurred in the first four months of the fiscal year. 

Some factors contributing to the sharp decline during the 

early months of FY 65 were: 

• Inability of units at authorized strength to recruit during 

favorable recruiting periods for known future losses. 

• The excessive backlog of REP personnel in units awaiting entry into REP training at Army Training Centers. Due to 

record procurement of non-prior service personnel in FY 1964, 

approximately 38,000 were awaiting entry into training centers 

at the beginning of FY 1965. 

• Less effort devoted to recruitment during the summer 

months due to emphasis on and conduct of annual field training. Although the decline was not as sharp, strength continued to decrease in the second half of FY 65 and in February 

an FY 65 low of 374,503 was reached. After a slight strength 

upturn in March, more significant personnel gains were made 

during the final months of FY 65 and by 30 June 1965 strength 

had increased to 378,985. 

In the inactive Army National Guard were 6,996 Guardsmen 

who were attached to units for administration and accounting purposes and who would be available for duty upon mobilization.

The following is a comparison of the overall officer-warrant 

officer strength of the Army National Guard as of 30 June 1964 

and 30 June 1965.

Commissioned Officers 29,457 29,778 

Warrant Officers 4,452 4,575 

33,909 34,353 

The above figures indicate a slight increase in both commissioned and warrant officer strength. This was brought about by 

an increase in OCS output, and by the Reserve Officer Personnel 

Act as some officers who are subject to removal from an active 

status by reason of completion of maximum service, accept appointments as warrant officers in order to continue in their employment as technicians. 

The State Officers Candidate Schools, which produced 40 percent more second lieutenants in FY 1965 than in FY 1964, continue to 

be the principal source of new second lieutenants. A comparison 

of the major sources of second lieutenants during FY 1964 and 

FY 1965 is shown below:

Reserve Officer Personnel Act 

(Promotion Consideration) 

During FY 1965, officers in the grade of captain, major and 

lieutenant colonel were considered for promotion to the next 

higher grade under the mandatory provisions of the Reserve Officer 

Personnel Act (ROPA) by centralized boards of officers convened 

in Headquarters, Department of the Army. First lieutenants continued to receive consideration by boards convened in their respective States. 

Those officers who were considered for the first time were 

selected at the following rates: first lieutenants, 65 percent; captains, 52 percent; and majors, 74 percent. The average rate for all 

grades was 63 percent. 

Officers who were considered for the second time were selected 

at the following rates: first lieutenants, 64 percent; captains, 47 

percent; and majors, 33 percent. The overall rate was 55 percent. 

The rates for first lieutenants were somewhat higher this year 

for both those considered for the first and those considered for the 

second time. The fact that these rates were approximately the 

same in both groups suggests that failure to complete military 

educational requirements is the principal reason for non-selection. 

The rate for captains was somewhat lower for those considered for 

the first time, but is considered to be about normal. The rate for 

majors was slightly higher for those considered for the first time. 

It was about 56 percent lower than previously experienced for those 

considered for the second time. This sharp decrease suggests that 

manner of performance, rather than failure to meet military educational requirements, is the principal basis for non-selection of 

majors. 

Because of the relatively fewer number of overall vacancies 

during FY 1965, selection of lieutenant colonels for promotion to 

the grade of colonel was more restrictive than in the past few 

years. Since these selections are accomplished on a best qualified 

rather than a fully qualified basis, those not selected are not considered to have been passed-over. The following are the selection 

rates for FY 1965: those considered for the first time, 18 percent; 

those previously considered but not selected, 6 percent; and those 

who had been previously selected but who could not be promoted 

because of lack of unit vacancies, 56 percent. The overall rate 

was 18 percent. 

Procurement (Enlisted Personnel) 

During FY 1965, there was a total procurement of 88,002 enlisted personnel which was offset by 91,007 losses.

Reserve Enlistment Program 

In FY 1965, 68,189 non-prior service personnel enlisted under 

the Reserve Enlistment Program of 1963 (REP-63). This program, 

initiated in FY 64, replaced the program provided in the Reserve 

Forces Act of 1955 (RFA-55). Under the REP-63 program, the active 

duty for training time required for all non-prior service enlistees, 

varies from a minimum of 4 months to that period required for MOS 

qualification. 

In FY 65, the average period of active duty for training required for MOS qualification was approximately six months. 

At the beginning of FY 65, approximately 38,000 enlistees who 

had enlisted in FY 64 were awaiting training spaces in active Army 

training centers. Of the 68,189 who enlisted in FY 65, 45,604

planned to enter training in the same year; 22,585 recruits enlisted 

with the intent of entering training in FY 66. Training spaces were 

not available for all who planned to enter training in FY 65 and 

at the close of the fiscal year approximately 28,300 were awaiting 

entry into training. 

During FY 1965, 74,626 Army National Guardsmen entered the 

active duty training program (ACDUTRA). Since the beginning of 

this training program in 1956, 554,537 Army National Guardsmen 

have enlisted or volunteered for this program, 498,535 have actually 

entered training and 447,926 have completed ACDUTRA and returned to their units. On 30 June 1965 there were 25,179 Army 

National Guard enlisted men participating in the ACDUTRA program in Army Training Centers, Service Schools and other training facilities throughout the United States. 

Personnel Actions (Enlisted) 

The ARNG initially participated in the Enlisted Evaluation 

System (MOS testing) during the November 1964 test cycle. Experience obtained from the first testing resulted in smoother administration of the second test cycle in February 1965. Scores 

achieved are indicated below. 

In April 19bb, a committee of six officers, representing each 

Army area, convened in the National Guard Bureau. The purpose 

of this committee was to develop recommended changes to the 

Enlisted Evaluation System based on experience obtained from 

administering the two test cycles. Recommendations of the committee are being considered for adoption. 

Effective 1 November 1964, the Chief, National Guard Bureau 

was delegated authority to act for the Secretary of the Army as 

final approving authority on Line of Duty determinations for ARNG 

personnel involving cases of disease or injury incurred while participating in ARNG training activities. Previously, such determinations were rendered by The Adjutant General, Department of the 

Army. Delegation of this authority to the NGB has reduced time 

element in furnishing States with notification of final action taken.

Army National Guard Register 

During FY 1965, the Military Service Branch, Army Personnel 

Division, NGB processed the following actions: 

6,098 statements of service (NGB Form 03D) to be published 

in the Official Army National Guard Register. 

5,939 promotions for entry in the Register. 

2,785 pieces of correspondence were processed. This number 

includes correspondence requesting amendments to the Register; 

verification of service performed in the Army National Guard; request for statements of service for retired pay purposes; and 

awards. 

31,842 other actions pertaining to the Register. This includes 

amendments to the Register showing completed courses of instruction at Army Service Schools; change in branch of service; 

change in status in the Active and Inactive Army National Guard; 

termination of Federal recognition; and correction of service as 

recorded. 

The 1965 edition of the Official Army National Guard Register 

was distributed to the States and other interested activities in the 

latter part of June 1965. This edition contains the names and 

statements of approximately 32,900 officers and warrant officers 

of the Active and Inactive Army National Guard. 

Technicians 

Army National Guard technicians are, with a limited number 

excepted, federally recognized members of units and are employed 

by the States. They assist the unit commanders in the day-to-day 

administrative and training responsibilities and assist the United 

States Property and Fiscal Officer with his duties. They provide 

the first and second echelon maintenance in organization maintenance shops and higher echelon maintenance in the State. Also, 

they provide personnel necessary to keep the NIKE missile sites 

operational 24-hours a day in the air defense of the United States. 

Effective 1 January 1965, technicians were authorized for the 

Military Support of Civil Defense (Budget Program 7231), in order 

to provide the staffing necessary to coordinate the possible military 

resources available for supporting the civil defense mission. 

At the beginning of FY 65, 17,271 spaces were authorized for 

employment of technicians in Organization, USPFO and Support 

Maintenance activities (Budget Program 7500) and 4,795 spaces 

in the Air Defense Program. At the end of the fiscal year, 142 

technicians were employed in Budget Program 7200, 17,254 technicians were employed in Budget Program 7500, 193 were supported 

on a reimbursement basis as a condition of cross-service agreements, and 5,027 were employed in air defense, bringing the total 

technicians employed to 22,616.

During the fiscal year, 1 State (Nevada) joined the State Retirement Program, and Nebraska dropped out, leaving the total at 

18 States participating. There were 7,710 ARNG technicians covered 

by State Retirement Systems at the end of FY 65. 

In August 1964, the salaries of 11,565 ARNG technicians paid 

under Classification Act Schedules were adjusted under the Classification Act Schedule enacted in law by PL 88-426 dated 14 

August 1964. The annual cost of the salary adjustments was 

approximately $3,424 million. 

Pay increases from new Wage Board schedules developed 

during the year amounted to $1,152 million per year. 

Average costs per technician produced during the year, including salaries and benefits, amounted to $8,778 in Budget Program 7200, to $6,919 in Budget Program 7500 and $6,712 in Air 

Defense. 

Total obligations for technicians in BP 7500 were $119,060,852. 

Direct obligations amounted to $117,842,313, and the reimbursable 

cost of technicians employed under cross-service agreements was 

$1,218,539. The direct obligations for the Air Defense technicians, 

BP 7600, were $32,339,330 while the direct obligations for Military 

Support of Civil Defense were $392,728. 

MEDICAL ACTIVITIES 

Line of Duty Investigations 

Effective 1 November 1964, the responsibility for the review of 

line of duty investigations for disease and'or injury of Army National Guard personnel was withdrawn from the Office of the 

Army Surgeon. Only those reports requiring professional medical 

opinion are still being reviewed by the Army Surgeon's Office. 

During FY 65, Line of Duty Reports were reviewed as follows:

The Army Surgeon, National Guard Bureau, is constantly aware 

of the necessity for the maintenance of medically qualified combat 

ready Army National Guard personnel. The medical fitness standards of the active Army are applicable to Army National Guard 

personnel and are strictly applied in order to assure that only those 

individuals who can be expected to perform active military service 

are accepted or allowed to remain in the Army National Guard. 

The constant surveillance of medical fitness of Army National 

Guard officer personnel is reflected in the number of reports of 

medical examinations reviewed during FY 65, as shown below:

3 Special Forces Groups, Headquarters; 13 Special Forces 

Companies and 3 Special Forces Detachments 

174 Headquarters Units 

409 Separate Companies and Detachments 

All of these 3,999 units were federally recognized on 30 June 

1965. The loss of 4 units in the past fiscal year occurred as a result of removal of one battalion from the troop list. 

Reorganization 

In December of 1964, a plan to merge the Army National Guard 

and the U.S. Army Reserve into a reorganized Army National Guard 

was disclosed. During January and February, detailed State troop 

lists were prepared. These lists contained over 6,000 units and 

550,000 personnel. The major commands included in these lists 

are two armored divisiorvs, one mechanized infantry division, five 

infantry divisions, thirteen training divisions, one airborne brigade, 

twelve infantry brigades, three mechanized infantry brigades, three 

air defense artillery brigades, seven engineer and five COSTAR 

brigades. All units included in this troop list are Immediate Reserve units and most will be organized at 80 percent of full TOE 

strength. 

In March, all Adjutants General were invited to Washington 

for briefings on this subject. Proposed State troop lists were presented to them at the time. Since then, all Adjutants General 

have indicated the acceptance of their troop lists by their 

Governors. 

By the end of June, thirty-one States had submitted detailed 

reorganization and stationing plans to the National Guard Bureau 

for review and study. 

Although initial plans called for the actual reorganization to begin on 1 July 1965, action on enabling legislation pending in Congress has delayed the starting date. Upon passage of required 

legislation, the National Guard Bureau will be able to begin actual 

reorganization without delay. 

Training Criteria 

The Army National Guard conducts training in accordance with 

criteria established by Headquarters, United States Continental 

Army Command (USCONARC) and United States Army Air Defense 

Command (ARADCOM). The USCONARC training criteria are set 

forth in Annex AA to its Training Directive, dated 23 March 1964, 

with changes 1 and 2, which established the following objectives 

for ARNG individual and unit training. 

• To attain and maintain proficiency of all personnel in the 

fundamentals of combat operations; 

• To prepare, by progressive selection and training, officers 

qualified to assume command and staff responsibilities at all 

echelons and similarly to prepare warrant officers and non-commissioned officers for positions of leadership and responsibility; 

• To develop and qualify all personnel in their MOS and grade 

assignment; 

• To develop efficient instructors; 

• To maintain standards of mental and physical fitness necessary for active duty, including indoctrination of all individuals in 

the Code of Conduct. 

Individual Training Progress 

The chart below shows Army National Guard individual training progress from FY 1956 through FY 1965. 18 percent of ARNG 

Guardsmen have had prior service in active forces. 92 percent of 

the Guardsmen were considered basically trained. The effects of 

active duty for training programs are shown by the steady growth 

in Guardsmen who have trained with the active Army of from 24 

percent on 30 June 1956 to 81 percent on 30 June 1965. "Less than 

2 years National Guard Training" represents the percentage of nonprior service personnel awaiting entry into REP training.

INDIVIDUAL TRAINING PROGRESS 

Unit Training Objectives 

The objective of the unit training program was to improve 

the readiness of all units to mobilize and initiate post mobilization 

training programs promptly to meet deployment schedules. Maximum progression to higher levels of training beyond those stated 

below as objectives was encouraged consistent with strength, training equipment, facilities, and attained proficiency. The training 

goals were as follows: 

• Immediate Reserve. Units should strive to achieve an Army 

training program (ATP) level of training which will permit completion of the full ATP in the shortest time possible after mobilization, 

and a maximum capability for self-sufficiency. 

• Reinforcing Reserve. Minimum goals for units were a well 

trained base capable of (a) receiving filler personnel and equipment, (b) initiating post mobilization ATP unit training on an 

accelerated basis, and (c) a maximum capability for self-sufficiency. 

• Units for whom there was no ATP would be guided by' special 

training directives in attaining the overall objectives. 

Army training program objectives to be achieved by Reserve 

Components units were as follows: 

• Immediate Reserve. Units who could achieve battalion level 

training at the completion of Annual Field Training 65 would do so 

and maintain that level for the future. 

• Reinforcing Reserve. Units who could achieve company level 

training at the completion of AFT 65 would do so and maintain that 

level for the future. 

Immediate and Reinforcing Reserve units who could not 

achieve levels of training indicated at the completion of AFT 65 

would devote their training efforts, and be encouraged to meet the 

objective by AFT 66. 

Recognizing that the attainment of higher levels of training 

for most units must be accomplished on a progressive, phased 

basis, the concept for achievement of this objective would include 

continuous intensified combat training and administrative preparations during home station period culminating in field exercises 

during AFT. Appropriate testing of units would be undertaken 

during AFT or at home station on a weekend, facilities and equipment permitting. 
}0 

Combat Training 

The mandatory six month active duty for training program for 

all non-prior enlistees made it possible for the Army National 

Guard to discontinue individual training in October 1958 and to 

conduct only unit training since that date. Under the new Reserve 

Enlistment Program (REP) for non-prior service personnel, passed 

on 3 September 1963, the active duty for training time was changed 

from six months to that which would qualify an individual in his 

designated MOS, with a minimum training period of four months. 

Individuals returning from basic training are integrated into the 

unit training program. 

The ARNG was well into Basic Unit Training. Selected battalions of the armor, infantry, artillery and engineer branches conducted battalion Army Training Tests in the first half of FY 65. 

Additional battalions were selected for AFT CY 65. Various combat 

battalions/squadrons participated in active Army exercises employing battalion free maneuvers. Of consequence was an Alaskan 

infantry battalion and the 2 scout battalions in Exercise Polar 

Strike during February 1965 and an infantry battalion from Minnesota in Exercise Northern Hills during June 1965. Both exercises 

were conducted in the Alaskan maneuver area near Fort Wainwright, Alaska. In April 1965, an armored cavalry regiment from 

New Jersey and an ir'antry and artillery battalion from New York 

participated in Exercise Oneida Bear. This exercise was conducted 

at Camp Drum, New York. Several of the ARNG divisions conducted 

realistic battalion exercises and company Army Training Tests 

(ATT's). Most all organizations were conducting platoon or higher 

ATT's. Many of the Artillery units were in the Advanced Unit Training phase. Armored units were in Basic Unit Training. At the end 

of FY 65, Army National Guard Infantry units had satisfactorily completed an average of five weeks of basic unit training or 19 weeks 

of the total 32-week training program required to attain readiness 

for overseas deployment. The status of ARNG Infantry units training is depicted on the "Arrow" graph below.

Inactive Duty Training 

The level of training of National Guard units has now progressed to the point where most tactical units are engaged in 

weekend training assemblies with training being conducted at the 

company and battalion level. For standardization purposes the 

armory drill has become a unit training assembly (UTA). The old 

multiple drill is now a multiple unit training assembly (MUTA). 

The numbers of periods contained in a multiple training assembly 

follows the MUTA (MUTA 2, 3, and 4). For instance, a weekend 

assembly (all-day Saturday and Sunday) would be a MUTA 4, 

equivalent to the 2-unit training assemblies held each day. This 

drastic departure from the old two (2) hour armory drill periods has 

greatly enhanced the overall training effort and improved combat 

effectiveness and mobilization readiness. 

Based on experience data gathered from units conducting 

weekend training assemblies and the results of the nine state 

testing program, the Department of the Army has published the 

following guidance concerning inactive duty training: 

"All Reserve Component units are authorized and encouraged 

to participate to the maximum feasible extent in multiple unit 

training assemblies (MUTA-4). As a minimum, all units will schedule as multiple training assemblies, six MUTA-4's or an equivalent 

number of training hours." 

It is intended that units will, to the maximum extent possible, 

utilize land under the control of the Department of the Army, 

reservoir lands of civil works projects, lands under the control of 

the military by permits or otherwise and local county or stateowned property for weekend training. 

Where none of the above mentioned lands are available, steps 

will be necessary to acquisition other available areas. 

The number of officers, warrant officers and enlisted men participating in inactive duty training amounted to an average of 93 

percent of assigned strength, (excluding constructive attendance) 

an overall percentage increase of 0.9 percent from the previous 

fiscal year. This increase can be attributed to the increased participation in weekend training. 

Percentages of attendance in inactive duty training during the 

past two years, excluding constructive attendance, are shown below:

Annual Field Training 

During calendar year 1965, annual field training of 15 days was 

conducted for all units with approximately 308,000 Army National 

Guardsmen attending, representing about 98 percent of ARNG paid 

drill strength. 

The live-fire Squad/Platoon Rifle Attack Courses established 

in 1963 were continued at this years' annual field training. These 

courses are a fine training vehicle and were run with fewer errors 

than in previous years. 

A continuing program of new construction and improvement of 

present attack courses was carried out during FY 1965. 

During annual field training, active Army evaluation boards 

conducted a detailed inspection of each federally recognized Army 

National Guard unit. 

Shown below is the CONARC field training evaluation system 

rating scale. It is emphasized that this evaluation system is concerned only with the performance of training of a unit and does 

not indicate the unit mobilization capability.

Since 1961, all units of the ARNG have received satisfactory 

or above evaluation ratings. 

A new USCONARC AFT evaluation system was introduced and 

tested by selected units at AFT 65. This system reflects a satisfactory-unsatisfactory performance rating. It is anticipated that 

results of this test will be incorporated into a new evaluation system for all units of the Reserve Components during AFT 66. 

Achievements in the AFT program initiated last year, i.e., unit 

participation in LOGEX, GUARDLIFT I, and active Army exercises 

were expanded this year. 

Eleven units were in Exercise LOGEX at Fort Lee, Virginia. This 

exercise stressed the importance of maintaining continuous theatre 

of operations logistical and administrative support under conventional, nuclear, or CBR conditions. 

In GUARDLIFT II, over 10,000 ARNG personnel in detachment 

to brigade size units were airlifted to field training sites during 

the summer of 1965 by using Air National Guard training flights. 

This program provided personnel with air mobility experience, new 

situations and specialized training sites. There was an interchange 

of units between Hawaii and Arizona, Indiana and Puerto Rico, and 

one battalion from Minnesota was airlifted to Alaska. In addition, 

selected individuals attended the Northern Warfare Training Center 

at Fort Greely, Alaska. There were also unit exchanges between 

Army Areas. 

As indicated previously ARNG participation in active Army 

exercises was greatly expanded. The battalion free maneuver concept employed in POLAR STRIKE, NORTHERN HILLS and ONEIDA 

BEAR contributed materially to the combat readiness posture of 

the participating units. Battalion staffs received realistic combat 

staff procedures training heretofore unrealized in normal "administrative training inspection of subordinate units" at Annual Field 

Training. 

Annual General Inspections 

These armory inspections, conducted by representatives of 

Army Area Commanders, generally ascertain the degree of excellence in attaining regulatory:

The following table shows that for the past five years almost 

all Army National Guard units received inspection ratings of

1965 approximately 81 percent of the units inspected received 

excellent or superior ratings.

Command and General Staff College Courses, Pilot Training, Noncommissioned Officer Courses and hard skill officer and enlisted 

MOS courses. „ , . • 

During Fiscal Year 1965, 5,801 officers and enlisted men attended Army Service Schools. An additional 540 enlisted Personnel 

attended Noncommissioned Officer Academies conducted by the 

Army Commanders. 

Army National Guard personnel attend three types of officer 

candidate courses. Fifteen personnel attended the regular officer 

candidate courses conducted at the US Army Infantry School and 

the US Army Artillery and Missile School. In addition, 444 Guardsmen were enrolled in a Special 2>/2-month course conducted at 

both of these schools for Reserve Component personnel only. 

The third type of Officer Candidate training and that program 

which produces the majority of second lieutenants for the Army 

National Guard is the State Officer Candidate Program This particular program is in operation in all States except Alaska, where it 

has been determined that it is impractical to establish a school of 

this type. 

During the year, 3,872 new candidates were enrolled in this 

program. States estimate that approximately 2,500 will graduate 

and be commissioned during the summer of 1965. The projected 

new inputs during the summer of 1965 is in excess of 5,000 students. 

To further expand the input into the school program, a new 

program was announced during the fiscal year entitled the NpnROTC College State OCS Program. This new program provides for 

the enlistment of sophomores enrolled in colleges which do not 

have any type of ROTC program of the Armed Forces, into the 

Army National Guard for the specific purpose of obtaining a commission. The program permits the individual to continue his college education with no interruption, in that he takes only basic 

combat training during the summer months of his college sophomore year, and is not required to take advanced individual training, which is a prerequisite for all other enlistees. Unfortunately, 

the response this year was not good in that less than 100 college 

sophomores were enlisted. However, renewed efforts will be made 

to provide additional input from this source of fine officer material 

during future years. 

Army Aviation 

The number of ARNG aviators on flying status increased during 

FY 65 from 1,659 to 1,885 showing a gain of 226 aviators. This 

gain is 101 higher than the previous per year average, since FY 58, 

of 125 aviators. This increased interest in the ARNG aviation program was to a large extent due to the authorization, on 1 July 

1964, of 24 additional paid flight training periods annually. Current 

authorized ANG aviator strength is 3,651. 

The following chart shows the growth in ARNG aviator strength 

for the past 7 years. 

School Program 

The Army National Guard School Program is designed to provide progressive military education and appropriate MOS training 

for officers and enlisted men. Such school trained personnel perform efficiently in all TOE positions concerned with the leadership 

of personnel and units and they apply current tactics, techniques 

and doctrine in planning and executing the training of their organization. They are also utilized to train other members of each Army 

National Guard unit. 

During Fiscal Year 1965, the School Program consisted of three 

activities, namely, Army Service Schools, Army Area Schools and 

Officer Candidate Schools. 

The overall school program funding was restricted to ten million dollars, similar to Fiscal Year 1964. As a result, school attendance was restricted to attendance at Basic and Career Courses,

OPERATIONAL UNITS 

For FY 65 ARNG aircraft flying hours totaled 212,966 which 

was an increase of 9,553 hours over FY 64. 

ARNG aviation personnel took full advantage of all aviation 

courses offered by the active Army. A total of 752 officers and 

enlisted men with an aviation MOS attended the courses offered. 

A partial breakdown of these courses and the number of Guardsmen attending is as follows:

The FY 65 aircraft accident rate was 10.6 accidents per 

100,000 hours flown as compared to the FY 64 rate of 17.2. The 

FY 65 accomplishment represents a 38.4 percent reduction from 

the previous year's rate. Factors influencing this downward trend 

in the aircraft accident rate include the recently authorized additional flying training periods. This program is designed to improve 

aviator proficiency and standardization, thereby reducing the number of aircraft accidents which occur as a result of poor or substandard aviator proficiency. This program was initiated early in 

the fiscal year with an average of 76.4 percent of the total authorized training periods accomplished. It is expected that participation will increase substantially during FY 66 as administrative 

problems resulting from the initiation of a new program are 

resolved. 

Air Defense Activities 

Twelve years ago, the Army National Guard entered the air 

defense program as a part of a test to determine if the Guard 

could be used to relieve active Army forces for other military requirements. The ensuing years have proven that the test is now 

a concept, validated by the ever increasing role of the ARNG in 

the Army Air Defense Program. 

The program was initiated in 1954 with anti-aircraft guns, then 

to the first generation Nike-Ajax missile system in 1957 and presently to the second generation Nike-Hercules missile system in 

1962. The program of converting the 76 Nike-Ajax batteries in 

CONUS and reorganizing them into 48 Nike-Hercules batteries was 

phased to be completed in FY 1965. 

In addition to the 6 Nike-Hercules batteries in an operational 

status in Hawaii, FY 1965 began with 36 operational Nike-Hercules 

batteries in CONUS. Twelve additional Nike-Hercules batteries 

were undergoing conversion training in preparation of assuming 

the on-site role. 

The program progressed smoothly as all remaining 12 units 

assumed the active air defense mission on the specified date 

programmed. The final 2 batteries became operational, on 14 April 

1965, in the Cincinnati-Dayton Defense Area, thus concluding the 

Nike-Hercules conversion program. 

The 17 States, 1 Group Headquarters, 19 Battalion Headquarters, and 54 Nike-Hercules Batteries in the air defense program 

constitute 100 percent of the air defense for the State of Hawaii 

and over one-third of the air defense units in CONUS. These ARNG 

Nike-Hercules units provide the round-the-clock vigil of defending 

16 key metropolitan and industrial complexes in CONUS and 

Hawaii, along with their active Army counterparts. 

The on-site performance of ARNG air defense units for FY 65 

continues to show improvements over the ratings received in FY 

64. Operational proficiency of ARNG Nike-Hercules units for FY 

65 revealed an improvement of 4 percent in Operational Readiness 

Evaluation (ORE), 6 percent in Command Maintenance Management Inspection (CMMI), 2.8 percent in Short Notice Annual Practice (SNAP), and 4.3 percent in Technical Proficiency Inspection 

(TPI). 
Special Forces 

Throughout the year, the 1,953 Army National Guardsmen assigned to one of the three Special Forces Groups (composed of 

thirteen companies and three separate detachments, located in 

twelve States), continued to conduct weekend training in the 

forests of Camp Dawson, West Virginia, the "tropics" of Camp 

Blanding, Florida, and in the mountains of Utah. 

Weekend exercises were not limited to the standard ATP type 

training but included participation in such exercises as Frontier 

Post I, a 4th Infantry Division FTX, conducted during the period 

2 May through 30 May 1965. The 19th Special Forces Group played 

an active role in this exercise. 

Members of the 20th Special Forces Group pioneered Exercise 

"Do It Yourself Swift Strike," a two-day problem supported by the 

135th Air Commando Group, Maryland ANG. This exercise was 

conducted north of Montgomery, Alabama, in the Lake Martin area. 

Cabell County, West Virginia, was selected by the 16th Special 

Forces Group as the training area for a three-day exercise supported 

by three detachments from the 7th Special Forces Group, Fort 

Bragg, North Carolina, two USAR Rifle Companies and 50 ROTC 

cadets from Marshall University. 

For the first time in history, units of the ARNG Special Forces 

conducted AFT as a Group under the supervision of the Group 

Commander and his staff. 

Camp Dawson, West Virginia was the AFT site for the 16th 

Special Forces composed of units from West Virginia, North Carolina, Rhode Island, New York, and Maryland. 

The 20th Special Forces Group trained at Camp Blanding, 

Florida. The 20th is composed of units from Alabama, Louisiana, 

Mississippi and Florida. 

The 19th Special Forces Group, composed of Utah and Montana, 

uses Camp Williams for an AFT site. 

Training as a Group, under the supervision of the Group 

Headquarters, proved to be most successful. At the same time, 

this type of AFT highlighted the need for further refinement in 

several areas. Particularly noticeable was the lack of adequate 

communication and the required air support. 

In addition to their normal field training period, one composite 

company from the 20th Special Forces Group will attend the Jungle 

Warfare School in Panama during the period 31 July-13 August 1965. 

One composite company composed of personnel from the 16th 

Special Forces Group and the 19th Special Forces Group will 

train in Alaska during the period 28 August-11 September 1965. 

The three newly established training and equipment sites, 

located at Camp Dawson, West Virginia; Camp Williams, Utah; and 

Sumpter Smith AFB, Alabama, have not achieved the desired 

support capability due to lack of equipment and airlift support 

available to the sites. Considerable effort and funds will be required in order to put the sites on an operational basis. 

Army Advisors 

On 30 June 1965, there were 760 Army Advisors on duty with 

the Army National Guard. This represents a loss of 31 advisors 

during the fiscal year. The authorized strength of all ARNG Advisor 

Groups is 1,013. The 760 Advisors on duty represents 75 percent 

of this. 

Shortages of Advisors have the greatest impact on the following branches: 

Medical: 51.5 percent of authorized strength on duty; shortage 

of 16 Advisors. 

Armor: 62.3 percent of authorized strength on duty; shortage 

of 69 Advisors. 

Signal: 70.8 percent of authorized strength on duty; shortage 

of 14 Advisors. 

Shortages of Advisors can be attributed to increased requirements caused by the escalating situation in Viet-Nam. Many ARNG 

Advisors have had their tours curtailed to meet Viet-Nam requirements, and the number of available officers for Advisor tours has 

been reduced because of these requirements.

Mobilization 

During fiscal year 1965, Army National Guard units in the State 

of Alabama were mobilized and served in active Federal status 

to prevent civil disturbances and enforce Federal Court orders 

during the Selma-Montgomery March. 

From 20 March 1965 through 3 April 1965, approximately 2,400 

Alabama National Guardsmen participated in peace keeping operations in Selma and Montgomery, and actively patrolled the march 

route between those two cities. For the first time in a dvi l disturbance action involving a task force composed of both active 

Army and National Guard troops, overall command was given to 

an Army National Guard general officer, Brigadier General Henry 

V. Graham. 

LOGISTICS 

The overall improvement in quantity and condition of Army 

National Guard equipment during the year has contributed to an 

improved readiness posture of ARNG units. The redistribution of 

critical assets within the Guard to insure that the best possible 

equipment reaches the priority units is a continuing action. Redistribution actions include such equipment as armored personnel 

carriers, howitzers,.tanks and other critical items. A limited quantity of the new self-propelled and towed artillery weapons, armored 

personnel carriers and tank recovery vehicles have been received. 

Distribution plans have been formulated and distributed to Department of tbe Army agencies on other items which are programmed for issue to the Guard units in the forthcoming year. 

35

Mobility 

The Army National Guard's mobile capabilities continued to 

improve in FY 65. This is primarily due to the continued policy of 

acceptance of "as is" vehicles. Over 2,000 motor and trailer 

vehicles were offered to the States. Most of these vehicles were 

accepted to fill shortages. Some were accepted for cannibalization 

purposes. Many of the vehicles offered were VA ton cargo trailers 

and most of these were acceptable and distributed to fill TOE 

requirements. Some of the better equipment, received in limited 

quantities and badly needed, included 12-ton stake semi-trailers, 

van supply semi-trailers, 25-ton lowbed semi-trailers. The 3V4-ton 

generator chassis trailer was made available to fill all initial shortages of this item. A number of %-ton cargo trailers are scheduled 

for receipt in FY 66. The mobility capabilities of the Guard should 

improve in FY 66. 

Firepower 

The modest increase in firepower equipment in the ARNG as 

exemplified in previous years has continued in this past year. 

This can also be attributed mainly to the acceptance of "as is" 

equipment. 

A number of rebuilt medium tanks were received during FY65. 

Additional self-propelled 105mm howitzers were distributed to 

the Guard. Also received and distributed were M60 machine guns 

with mount tripod, a number of M84 mortars, and guidance and 

launching stations (ENTAC). All distribution of firepower equipment 

was based on predetermined priorities. 

During FY 66, it is anticipated that the firepower capabilities 

will continue to increase as new weapons are made available and 

the acceptance of "as is" equipment is continued. Included in 

the equipment scheduled for delivery is the mortar carrier 

(M106A1) and a number of rebuilt medium tanks. 

Communications 

The lack of new area communications equipment continues to 

seriously hamper training of units. The States continue to utilize 

the World War II equipment with various modifications to facilitate 

adaptions to local requirements and missions. The anticipated 

delivery of a limited number of the new AN/VRC-12 radios is expected to be delayed a year. A limited number of the RS-6 radios 

were received, for training and use by the ARNG Special Forces 

units. It is anticipated that additional armored and infantry type 

radios will be released to the ARNG during FY 66 and the first 

half of FY 67. 

Tactical Support 

The receipt of support equipment has enhanced the training 

capabilities of the Guard. Some of the equipment received during 

FY 65 includes the new type scoop loader, modern water purification equipment sets, class-60 bridging and the 20-ton crane shovel. 

Equipment received is not sufficient to meet minimum training 

requirements. Generators continue to be seriously short of training 

requirements. 

The repair limitation on certain engineering equipment has 

been extended. This has enabled the ARNG to retain and use 

this equipment. The Guard is looking forward to continued improvement and the obtaining of more equipment for support missions during FY 66. 

Organizational Equipment and Clothing 

The amount programmed for organizational clothing and 

equipment in FY 65 was $6,220,000. 

Certain funds were earmarked for purchase of parachutes, 

tentage, modern load carrying equipment and winter clothing. 

In addition, other funds were utilized to procure liners 

and hoods for field jackets to support week-end training during 

the winter months. 

The short sleeve cotton khaki shirt was approved for issue in 

lieu of one long sleeve khaki shirt where climatic conditions warrant. The cap, utility, polyester and rayon gabardine, OG 106, was 

made available to the ARNG. 

Maintenance 

Maintenance capabilities improved in FY 65 as a result of 

continuation of the training program, increased skills, and provision of additional facilities. 

Maintenance topics were again an important part of the Army 

Area Conferences conducted by the Bureau in the six Army areas 

during October and November 1964. These conferences were 

attended by maintenance personnel from each State, Army Area 

Headquarters, supporting Commodity Commands, and depots. The 

Bureau policies, programs, and problem areas were discussed. 

An additional management tool was the introduction of the 

Army Equipment Record System (TAERS). Having been in operation over a year and a half, the system is now beginning to provide 

useful information. As is true with any new system, a period of 

training is necessary before results are evident. Commanders, 

through inspection of equipment log books, can determine the 

condition and readiness of their equipment and can more readily 

isolate trouble spots. 

A year's experience in the use of the new Command Maintenance Management Inspection (CMMI) scoring and rating system 

indicates that it is proving more realistic than past systems in both 

content and validity of information. Review of the consolidated 

CMMI reports has pinpointed major problem areas. 

Organizational Maintenance 

The Army Equipment Maintenance System continues to place 

great stress on preventive maintenance at the user or operator 

level. Weekend training has provided additional time for vehicle 

operators and tank crews to gain maintenance experience and contribute to the repaii and servicing of their own equipment. Commanders are increasing the materiel readiness position of their 

units through close supervision of the organizational maintenance 

program by their officer.; and noncommissioned officers. Authorization now exists for 905 Organizational Maintenance Shops (OMS). 

Of the total authorized, 569 are adequate, 159 require modification, 

and 177 new facilities are needed. 

Support Maintenance 

Uncompleted work orders at the end of FY 65 amounted to 

56,100 as compared to 49,500 at the end of FY 64. This is an increase of 6,600 uncompleted work orders. This increase is the 

result of equipment exchanges, acceptance of additional items of 

"as is" equipment, and the increased age of equipment. 

Equipment usage has been increased due to the added requirements of weekend training at local sites resulting in an increase 

in support level maintenance. Many of the major components 

required for repair of wheeled and track vehicles are either not 

available or have a long lead time through the normal supply 

channels. This has greatly increased the need for repair rather 

than replacement of major components in order to meet training 

requirements. 

Army Aviation Maintenance 

During FY 1965, ARNG aircraft were flown 212,966 hours. This 

was accomplished on an inventory of aircraft that sustained a net 

reduction as shown below: 

Fixed Wing Rotary Wing 

30 June 1964 579 300 

30 June 1965 560 311 
37 

This reduction in fixed wing inventory was due to active Army 

withdrawals for overseas requirements. Rotary wing inventory increases are the result of additional observation helicopters being 

assigned to the ARNG from active Army assets. 

The performance of organizational and direct support maintenance on ARNG aircraft has been done primarily by ARNG technicians manning Army Aviation Maintenance Shops in the several 

States. Each of these technicians represents many years of experience in the field of aircraft maintenance and were instrumental 

in attaining the high aircraft availability needed to permit accomplishment of approximately 213,000 flying hours. 

ARNG operation of three Transportation Aircraft Base Maintenance Shops continued with success during the past year. Support 

of the "One Army" concept was enhanced when the 142d Transportation Battalion Shop, Missouri ARNG supported the Army aircraft participation in Exercise Goldfire II, during the fall of 1964, 

with general support maintenance. The 50 technicians that makeup 

the core of each battalion, the 162d Transportation Battalion, 

Connecticut ARNG; and the 217th Transportation Battalion, California ARNG, in addition to the Missouri Battalion, are developing 

an ever increasing mobilization readiness through day-to-day operation and the inherent gain in experience. 

Cross Service Maintenance Agreements 

The authority for States to enter into cross service maintenance 

agreements with USAR and active Army for the support of their 

equipment was continued in FY 65. During FY 65 there were 21 

agreements with the USAR, 4 with the active Army, and 1 with the 

Marine Corps for a total of 26 cross service agreements. 

AUTOVON 

The Department of Defense world-wide telephone communications network is being programmed for installation at various 

selected operating levels of the Army National Guard. It is believed that the utilization of the AUTOVON system for voice communication, as well as data processing, will improve the operational efficiency of those selected Army National Guard activities 

and is in the best interest of the Federal Government since service 

costs would be less than the commercial communications system 

now in use. At present, 15 States have access to the AUTOVON 

system, and installation is pending in 15 other States during second 

quarter fiscal year 1966. 

INSTALLATIONS 

funds may be used by a State for the acquisition, construction, 

expansion, rehabilitation or conversion of facilities required for 

training, operation, and maintenance of Army National Guard 

units. Non-armory construction projects are supported by 100-

percent Federal contribution. Non-armory construction includes 

those facilities necessary for the administrative, logistical, and field 

training support of Army National Guard units. 

The Army National Guard Military Construction Program 

(MCARNG) supports the construction of new armory and nonarmory facilities and the continued alteration, expansion and rehabilitation of existing facilities to keep pace with the increased 

.training requirements of the Army National Guard. 

In fiscal year 1965, the total fund availability for the Army National Guard Military Construction Program amounted to $14,194 

million, which included a new appropriation of $10.8 million and 

carry-over funds of $3,394 million. 

The total obligations for fiscal year 1965 were $2.1 million, as 

itemized below:

TOTAl ALL OBLIGATIONS $2,141,043 

* Includes obligations of $21,669 by other agencies. 

The Army National Guard placed two (2) armories under contract. These 2 projects were carried over from previous years and 

were constructed at Wewoka, Oklahoma and Cheyenne,.Wyoming. 

In addition, 3 new non-armory projects authorized in FY 65 were 

placed under contract. These 3 non-armory projects will provide 

summer training facilities at Fort Stewart, Georgia; Camp Ripley, 

Minnesota; and Camp Shelby, Mississippi. 

In December 1964, the Department of Defense deferred the 

fiscal year 1965 Army National Guard Military Construction Program and suspended further contracting for major construction 

projects previously approved, including design and minor construction, pending completion of the planned reorganization and 

merger of the Reserve Components and the review of facilities 

requirements resulting therefrom. An exception to this directive 

was made in the case of the approval of 4 non-armory summer 

training facilities that were approved on 27 April 1965. Of these 

4 approved projects, 3 were contracted in June 1965 and 1 project 

at Camp Grayling, Michigan, was required to be deferred until 

FY 66 due to necessity for readvertising for new bids. 

ARNG Military Construction Program 

Since 1952, Federal funds have been available for construction 

of facilities required by the Army National Guard as provided for 

under the National Defense Facilities Act of 1950, as amended. 

Under this Act, Federal contributions to the States may not 

exceed 75 percent of the cost of the authorized armory construction items as provided for in current Federal regulations. These

In January 1965, the Department of Defense requested a review 

of the armory space criteria applicable to the Army National Guard 

construction program. The National Guard Bureau convened a 

committee of Senior National Guard officers from each Army area 

to study the armory space criteria. All States were advised of the 

results of the study and the proposed revisions to existing criteria. 

The proposed new criteria was completed during fiscal year 1965 

and was being published in final form for submission to DOD at 

the close of the fiscal year. 

The Army National Guard utilized 2,807 armory facilities to 

house, administer and train units in all fifty States, Puerto Rico 

and the District of Columbia. 

Future Construction Requirements 

Based upon the FY 64 study of future armory construction 

requirements, there are 2,807 armory facilities in use. Of these, 

1,811 are considered as adequate and 996 are considered as inadequate. As of 30 June 1965, the remaining requirement consists 

of 745 new armory projects and 251 projects such as rehabilitation, 

alterations, additions, conversions, or expansions to existing facilities. The remaining dollar requirement for construction of the 996 

inadequate armory facilities is estimated to be approximately 

$148.7 million. 

In addition to the above listed armory requirements, there is 

an indicated unfulfilled construction requirement in the nonarmory category of 799 projects at an estimated cost of $95.4 

million. This non-armory construction program would consist primarily of providing administrative, maintenance and warehouse 

facilities for the logistical support of the Army National Guard, 

and necessary facilities for summer training sites. 

ARNG Non-armory Facilities 

The type of facilities provided under the non-armory military 

construction program are described below indicating the authority 

by which they are constructed and the status of new construction 

as of the end of the fiscal year: 

COMBINED SUPPORT 

MAINTENANCE SHOPS 

Combined Support Maintenance Shops (formerly Combined 

Field Maintenance Shops) are authorized for construction on the 

basis of one per State. However, in a State which (1) has two or 

more divisions, (2) is authorized Field Training Equipment Concentration Sites, or (3) has unusual geographical considerations, additional shops or sub-shops are authorized. Hawaii is an example of a 

geographical consideration. Field maintenance of all Federal 

equipment issued to the State, except aircraft, is performed at 

these facilities. As of 30 June 1965, Federal funds have been 

utilized in the construction of 48 Combined Support Maintenance 

Shops. 

ORGANIZATIONAL 

MAINTENANCE SHOPS 

These shops are authorized for each battalion, comparable 

organization, or grouping units. Organizational maintenance is 

performed at these facilities on all Federal equipment issued to 

the units, except aircraft. A total of 120 organizational maintenance 

shops have been constructed with Federal funds since the inception of this construction program. 

ARMY AVIATION 

MAINTENANCE SHOPS 

These shops are authorized for construction on the basis of 

one per State for each State having five or more assigned Army 

Aircraft, except that States having two divisions are authorized 

two such shops. All organizational and field maintenance on Army 

fixed and rotary wing aircraft and allied equipment issued to the 

State is performed at these facilities. Thirty-four (34) shop 

hangars have been built with Federal funds from the beginning of 

the construction program. 

U. S. PROPERTY AND FISCAL 

OFFICER OFFICES AND 

WAREHOUSES 

An office and warehouse is authorized each State for use by 

the United States Property and Fiscal Officer in administration, 

receipt, storage, and issue of all Federal property required for use 

by the Army National Guard. As of 30 June 1965, Federal funds 

have been used in the construction of 19 USP&FO offices and 29 

USP&FO warehouses. 

Real Property 

The National Guard Bureau renders all possible assistance to 

the States in licensing appropriate federally owned facilities and 

in leasing certain types of privately owned facilities for the Army 

National Guard. 

During FY 1965 the Army National Guard utilized the following 

types of facilities, other than State owned: 

240 federally owned facilities 

125 privately owned facilities under Federal lease, including: 

31 Army Advisor Offices 

49 Target Range Sites 

30 Aircraft Facilities 

11 Organizational Maintenance Shops 

4USPFO Offices 

The Bureau screened excess federally-owned real properties 

with the States and advised and assisted them in acquisition of 

such properties when required by the Army National Guard. 

Repairs and Utilities 

To operate, maintain, and repair the non-armory facilities of 

the Army National Guard, Federal funds in the amount of 

$3,510,564 were obligated under 59 separate Service Contract agreements with the States. 

To support all Repairs and Utilities (R&U) projects for the 

minor new construction, alteration, extension, and relocation of 

non-armory facilities Federal funds in the amount of $749,336 

were obligated. These projects included the alteration of 42 

USPFO facilities to accommodate Automatic Data Processing 

Systems and the construction of the following facilities to provide 

for the efficient storage and maintenance of vehicles at all levels 

of command: 9 loading ramps and docks; 9 vehicle wash racks; 

12 damage repair projects; 12 fuel dispensing systems; 13 security 

fencing projects; 11 vehicle exhaust control systems; 30 vehicle 

access roads and hardstand areas; 9 arms vaults; 3 rifle range 

modifications; 47 mechanical equipment modifications (heating, 

lighting, air-conditicning); and 39 miscellaneous roof, floor and 

door modifications. Accomplishment of projects related to organizational maintenance shops and aviation facilities was suspended during the second half of FY 65 pending disposition of the 

proposed ARNG-USAR merger. 

Rifle Range Repairs 

To support the maintenance and repair of State owned rifle 

ranges Federal funds in the amount of $78,309 were obligated. 

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 
39 

of annual field training. Facilities may include kitchens, mess 

halls, bath latrines, supply and administration buildings, headquarters buildings, and barracks. 

A total of $4,017,256 was obligated to support the opening, 

operating and closing out costs of annual field training sites. Of 

this amount $2,409,259 was obligated at 76 federally controlled 

training sites and $1,607,997 at 37 State controlled training sites.

The Ready Now posture achieved during fiscal year 1964 stressed the 

capability of reacting to an emergency in any part of the world. The Ready 

Go status of FY 65 proved the Air National Guard's ability to react. 

An F-102 in Hawaii barrels down the runway, then disappears into the sky 

to intercept an unknown aircraft approaching the Islands; a flight of F-lOOs 

on their way to Europe refuel m mid-air from KC97s over the mid-Atlantic; 

a C-121 sets down on an airfield in South Vietnam with its cargo of vitally 

needed supplies—these are scenes that portray the Air National Guard in 

action today—a Ready Go force. 

The "Ready Go" concept began early in the year with an operation 

bearing the same name. Units from 23 states and the District of Columbia 

participated in the exercise which deployed tactical fighters and 

reconnaissance aircraft from the U.S. to Europe—a 4,600 mile non-stop flight. 

Three mid-air refuelings from ANG KC-97s were made along the way. 

Within 45 minutes after landing in Europe, aircraft were refueled, armed 

and ready for a tactical mission. 

Success of the history-making flight was voiced by then Air Force Vice 

Chief of Staff, General John P. McConnell, who said, "The energetic and 

professional execution of Operation "Ready Go" has clearly demonstrated a 

new dimension in Air National Guard global responsiveness." 

This single operation, however, by no means demonstrated the entire Air 

Guard effort. While the deployment to Europe was in progress, other Air 

National Guard units were airlifting Army National Guardsmen to Alaska, 

Puerto Rico, Hawaii and bases throughout the U.S. in another exercise 

entitled Guardlift I. This exercise tested the ANG's ability to transport 

ground troops over long distances to annual field training. More than 10,500 

Army Guardsmen were airlifted by Guardlift I. In yet another exercise 

occurring during the same time spa", Air Guard transports, tactical fighters, 

reconnaissance aircraft and amphibians were heavily engaged in Swift 
Strike, a joint maneuver of the acting Army and Air Force. In essence, the 

Air Guard seemed to be everywhere as FY 65 began. 

The year was truly one of action for the Air National Guard: Action in 

capability—providing the Nation with a never-before-believed-possible 

reserve force—and; Action in ability—significantly assisting the regular 

Air Force during times of heightened world tension. 

The pace never seemed to decelerate. As our Nation's commitments enlarged, 

so did those of the Air National Guard. Oklahoma ANG's "Talking Bird," 

a flying communications center, was in demand assisting operations from 

Anchorage to Puerto Rico. In early May, the "Bird" deployed to the 

Caribbean to support U.S. forces landing in the Dominican Republic. 

If any one aspect of Air Guard operations can be highlighted during FY 65, 

it would be the tremendous effort exhibited by the air transport units. Upon 

the completion of Guardlift I, a request for assistance came from the 

Military Air Transport Service. Heavily engaged in operations in Southeast 

Asia, MATS asked the Air Guard to augment its world-wide airlift mission. 

In addition to making actual flights into some of the trouble spots around 

the globe, Guard air transport units took up the chore of flying many 

regular MATS scheduled runs. This assist was given in cases where regular 

Air Force aircraft were diverted from their scheduled flights to respond 

to emergency situations. 

Dominican Republic upheavals further committed MATS and the Air Guard 

kept right on the job throughout the year. As a result of this assistance, air 

transport units of the Guard shattered just about every previous Guardrecorded mark in airlift operations. They flew more than 1,350 overwater 

flights outside the U.S. and during one three-month stretch airlifted nearly 

4,500 tons of cargo. General Howell M. Estes, Jr., MATS commander, 

personally commended the Air National Guard transport effort. 

Without an actual call to Federal duty, the Air National Guard operated 

probably as close to the active establishment of the Air Force as possible. 

It was the year of proof—the year of "Ready Go."

COMPTROLLER FUNCTIONS 

Budget 

The President's budget for fiscal year 1965 contained estimates 

for the appropriations for Operation and Maintenance, Air National 

Guard; National Guard Personnel, Air Force; and Military Construction, Air National Guard. United States Air Force (USAF) and 

Department of Defense (DOD) approved program guidance was 

followed in the development and preparation of these estimates. 

Congressional initial approval resulted in as follows: Operation and 

Maintenance, ANG—$236,000,000; National Guard Personnel, AF— 

$69,300,000; and Military Construction, ANG—$14,000,000. These 

amounts combined with approximately $1.3 million in anticipated 

reimbursements provided a total availability of $320,600,000 at 

the beginning of the fiscal year, for the three above cited 

appropriations. 

An additional requirement of $1.6 million was generated in 

Operations and Maintenance funding as a result of the civilian 

pay raise authorized by Public Law 88-426, 14 August 1964. This 

requirement was satisfied through the means of a supplemental 

appropriation passed by the Congress. Other program changes 

occurred throughout the fiscal year which resulted in a final 

availability in each of the appropriations as reflected in the table 

below.

O&M to cover civilian pay raise effective 16 August 1964,

 Includes no-yeor carry-over of unobligated balances of $7,950,725. 

Emphasis was continued on budget estimates and financial 

plans received from the bases during this fiscal year. This was 

accomplished partially by utilizing the services of a review panel 

composed of Comptrollers from the field. Progress continues in 

the quality and validity of estimates received from operating locations. This progress coupled with careful analyses and close 

monitoring of the execution of funded programs has again resulted 

in a most successful utilization of available funds. The level of 

operations and maintenance funding allowed a continued progression toward the alleviation of equipment shortages which have 

existed in prior years. Continued progress is anticipated in this 

area. 

Military personnel funding levels provided funds in an amount 

sufficient to preclude the curtailment of any programs. Appropriated construction funds provided for a phased program of essential 

facilities to meet scheduled conversions and mission changes. 

Additionally, utilization of the lump sum authorization enabled the 

ANG to respond to several unscheduled conversions made during 

the fiscal year. 

Accounting and Finance 

The Air Force Accounting and Finance Center at Denver, 

Colorado, has been given the responsibility to conduct a feasibility 

study of centralizing accounting and finance activities of the Air 

National Guard. This would include all disbursing and fund accounting for the Air Guard's Construction, Operation and Maintenance, 

and Military Personnel appropriations. Current study guidelines 

provide that maximum use be made of computer capabilities and 

that Phase I of the five phase program be implemented by 1 January 1967. The initial phase would include all military personnel 

payments and related fund accounting. Primary benefits envisioned 

by the study are those associated with improved financial management and reduction in certain repetitive workloads. 

Other accomplishments were: 

• The requirement for certification of pay documents by Air 

Force Advisors was eliminated. State Adjutants General may 

appoint commanders or other designated officers as certifying 

officers for pay documents. 

• An up-to-date checklist for military pay entitlements and 

payroll procedures was compiled and distributed to the field. Use 

of this publication should eliminate most of the unfavorable comments in field audits and provide a tool to assist in day-to-day 

administration of this area. 

• A regulation was published to authorize 12 man-days per 

month for travel and transportation allowances of State Headquarters personnel to perform required staff visits to subordinate 

ANG units without obtaining individual authorizations from the 

National Guard Bureau. 

• Establishment of family separation allowance to ANG 

members performing short tours of active duty in excess of 30 days. 

• Participation in development of a new Volume III, AFM 177-

105, Military Pay-Reserve Members Not on Extended Active Duty. 

• Obtained authority to exempt surcharge from meals provided ANG officers and Air Force Advisors in dining halls during 

periods of multiple unit training assemblies. 

• Publication and distribution of ANG Pamphlet 177-1-1, ANG 

Guide for Military Pay and Allowances and Air Technician Pay and 

Allowances. This pamphlet free of complex technical language is 

a ready reference for the use of ANG commanders as an orientation 

document and is hancy reference for individual members in determining their eligibility for an entitlement to certain benefits. 

On 30 Jcine 1965, the strength of the Air National Guard was 

76,410. This was in excess of the authorized year-end strength of 
43 

75,000. The average strength for the year was 73,802 permitting 

sufficient latitude for fund support at the increased year-end level. 

Considering the programmed increase in the FY 1966 authorized 

strength to 77,000, the slight overstrength was very beneficial. 

Attainment of this satisfactory strength level was an outgrowth of 

a very successful recruiting drive conducted by the States. Early 

in December, the National Guard Bureau verbally announced a 

need for the units to fill the authorized paid status spaces. In 

January 1965, a directive was published reiterating this requirement 

and pointing out the resource of prior service personnel from the 

Air Force Reserve units being deactivated. The States aggressively 

recruited from this resource and the on-board strength increased 

from 73,772 on 31 January 1965 to 76,410 on 30 June 1965.

Another serious problem area successfully overcome during the 

year was the shortage of pilots. On 30 June 1964, the ANG had 

3,310 pilots to fill a programmed requirement of 3,800. The 3,800 

was considered an attainable level against the UMD requirement 

of 4,805. The National Guard Bureau again requested the States to 

conduct an aggressive pilot recruiting campaign. The normal 

Bureau standards on recency of flying experience were waived and 

units were urged to cross-train pilots not qualified in assigned 

aircraft. The States were highly satisfactory in their pilot recruiting 

and the 30 June 1965 pilot strength was 3,732, with a backlog of 

applicants awaiting Federal recognition. Considering the long 

term need, the age and experience of the pilots gained was not 

qualitatively desirable, but they were an immediate solution to 

pilot manning. The Bureau is continuing its attempts to increase 

the pilot training rate to 368 per year from Air Force pilot training 

schools. This training rate will provide replacements for the high 

attrition expected when ROPA forces out the WW II trained pilots. 

Officer Promotions 

During FY 1965, the following unit vacancy promotions were 

effected: 

Brigadier General to Major General 2 

Colonel to Brigadier General (1 tenure of office) 5 

Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel 91

Rated Officers 

During FY 1965 there were 19 aeronautical rating boards processed and completed by the Flying Status Section. (10 approved 

and 9 disapproved) Ratings of pilots were granted and officers 

placed on flying status on those approved. 

Flying status revalidated on 295 officers during this period and 

23 flying evaluation boards were processed and completed. (15 

approved and 8 disapproved) 

Year-end programmed and assigned strengths for officers on 

flying status are as follows: 

Programmed Assigned 

Pilots 3,800 3,732 

Navigators 564 469 

Radar-Intercept Officers 252 211

Master Personnel Records 

Qualitative review action was continued by the National Guard 

Bureau to obtain and maintain up-to-date selection folders on 

officer personnel. Over 10,000 officer effectiveness reports were 

received and reviewed during the year, and those reports not meeting the standards established by the Bureau were returned for 

correction or reaccomplishment. During the past year, increased 

emphasis was placed on improving the quality of officer photographs. Prior to submitting selection folders to the Promotion 
4~l 

Board for review, AF Forms 11 (Officer Military Record) were 

thoroughly screened. 

Interim Change 5 to AFM 36-10, pertaining to instructions for 

Colonel Promotion Recommendation Report, AF Form 706, was sent 

on 22 June 1965, to the Adjutants General of all States, Puerto Rico, 

and the District of Columbia. This change implemented the use of 

the AF Form 706 in lieu of Section VI of the Field Grade Officer 

Effectiveness Report, AF Form 707, for all Air National Guard 

colonels. It also stated that the contents of the AF Form 706 would 

not be revealed to the ratee under any circumstances. 

Officer classification actions were reviewed on a continuing 

basis to insure that Military Record, AF Form 11, reflects the correct primary and duty Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC). Officer 

classification actions submitted to the National Guard Bureau were 

carefully reviewed. Supervisors were encouraged to take timely 

classification action supported by accurate personnel data reporting reflecting the unit's manpower capability to perform their 

assigned mission. 

Upon the completion of an NGB Form 024, (NGB Consolidated 

Retirement Record), the retirement data for each officer and airman 

of the Air National Guard will be more readily available. This 

project has enabled the National Guard Bureau to answer queries 

immediately as to the number of years an individual has for retirement purposes and to process applications for transfer to the 

Retired Reserve without delay. 

The NGB Form 024 provides the retirement data required for 

electronic data processing and makes retirement information available to all interested Federal agencies. The NGB Form 024 has 

been modified and is being republished as NGB Form 124.

Air Technician Program 

The Air National Guard technicians are the hard core of highly 

skilled, full-time personnel in ANG units. As members of the units 

in which they are full-time State employees, they are highly trained 

personnel who can immediately and effectively respond upon 

mobilization. 

The air technician strength on 30 June 1965 was 15,652. This 

represents an increase of 302 technicians over the 30 June 1964 

strength of 15,350. The majority of this increase was largely attributed to conversions in the program to more modern and sophisticated aircraft. 

During FY 65, two more States included ANG technicians in 

State retirement programs bringing the total participating to 19 

States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the District of 

Columbia with approximately 5,599 ANG technicians covered by 

State retirement systems. 

A full-scale air technician manpower survey of supply activities of flying units was conducted during FY 1965. The survey was 

based on the recommendations of the Air Technician Advisory 

Committee to up-date the existing workload data and to substantiate current and/or additional manpower requirements. Two survey 

teams, comprised of 10 knowledgeable air technicians each representing the Eastern and Western sections of the nation, were 

selected. Survey data was collected through the media of basic 

input from the respective States. The products of the supply survey 

resulted in an additional manpower requirement and certain refinements in the functional structure. The results of the survey were 

presented to the National Guard Bureau and subsequently to the 

Department of Defense. 

During FY 1965, steps were undertaken to develop new air technician manning documents and manning criteria techniques. Air 

technician manning documents were developed on a single document per State concept, with all units in any particular State 

reflected on one smgle document. Manning criteria was developed 

to provide a uniform basis for air technician authorizations throughout the entire system. The criteria incorporates manpower requirements developed from ANG survey of the respective functional 

areas and USAF criteria as it fits the Air National Guard situation. 

These new concepts of operation within the air technician program 

provide even greater equality in authorization than experienced in 

the standard manning system of like-equipped units. 

School Training 

The Air National Guard continued to place personnel in its 

pilot and navigator training programs, which in general consisted 

of undergraduate flying training and advanced flying training conducted by the Air Force for ANG officers. Spaces were provided 

in the Air Force flying school for the advanced training of all ANG 

fighter-interceptor pilots and tactical fighter pilots following their 

graduation from basic flying training. Further qualification training 

in mission aircraft was conducted by the parent ANG unit. 

All non-prior service airmen are required, as a condition of 

enlistment, to complete USAF basic military training (BMT). After 

completion of the 6-week BMT at Lackland Air Force Base, ANG 

airmen continued training at either a technical school or on-the-job 

training for a minimum of 4 months active duty for training to 

qualify the individual in his assigned Air Force Specialty Code. 

Various familiarization courses and special training courses 

were also made available to Air Guardsmen. Listed below are the 

ANG training programs with the number of individuals entering 

training during FY 1965 and the number who were in training on 

30 June 1965.

On-The-Job-Training 

The National Guard Bureau has the responsibility to provide 

Air National Guard units with a sound, basic on-the-job training 

program (OJT) incorporating the concepts and philosophies of 

USAF, major air commands, NGB, and the many Air National Guard 

units. To accomplish this OJT program, ANGM 50-23, On-The-Job 

Training Manual, was published. Implementation of this manual 

and the dual channel concept OJT program provided commanders 
43 

and supervisors the necessary tools to establish individual unit 

programs to train personnel. This program enables the organization 

to effectively perform its assigned mission by training personnel 

in specific tasks, each fitting into a pattern of unity. New interest 

and increased emphasis on OJT was created by this program. 

Specialty Knowledge Tests (SKTs) measure job knowledge and 

are used in conjunction with other criteria for upgrading to the 

next higher skill level of individual specialties. Breakdown of 

statistics regarding the Air National Guard on-the-job training 

capability are as follows: 

Air Advisors 

On 30 June 1965, the Air National Guard had 221 Officer Air 

Advisors assigned against an authorization of 234. During the 

course of the year, a total of 38 new advisors were assigned to 

replace personnel transferred. Of the 38 replaced, 35 completed 

their tour, and 3 were reassigned prior to completion of the normal 

four years. The quality of the officers nominated by the gaining 

commands as replacements has continued to be generally above 

average.

SKT passing rate overall (3, 5, 7 level testing) 74.1 % 

Airmen in OJT upgraded to next higher skill level 48 % 

Personnel Data Systems 

The Officer personnel data system was converted successfully 

to computer operation at the Air Reserve Record Center (ARRC) on 

1 July 1964. Initial input from the 98 Consolidated Base Personnel 

Offices (CPBOs) resulted in an error rate of only 6 percent. 

Manipulation of data on the bi-weekly update of the file caused 

an early increase in error rate to a high of 10.3 percent, with 

gradual decline throughout first 6 months of operation. During 

the second six months of computer operation, error rates leveled 

off to an average of approximately 1.5 percent, which is well within 

acceptable limits. The high degree of accuracy of this file insures 

validity of reports output products used to establish procurement 

trends, to substantiate budget requirements, and to provide other 

necessary personnel management data. 

In October 1964, specifications for a 2-card interim airman 

data system were published. The system was tested in NovemberDecember, and initial input to the computer was made in February 

1965. The initial input produced an error rate of only .3 percent, 

and the system has continued to operate in a highly satisfactory 

manner. The airman file is updated on the same frequency as the 

officer file, and produces similar output products for personnel 

management purposes. 

In January 1965, a conference of all CBPOs was held in Denver, 

Colorado. The CBPOs were given a tour of the computer operation 

at ARRC. Problems existing in the officer system and anticipated 

problems in the airman system were discussed. As a result of this 

conference, there was an immediate reduction in the officer system 

error rate, and transition into the mechanized airman system was 

made easier. 

The Military Personnel Center (MPC) established a temporary 

accession system which provides for electrical transmission of 

abbreviated data into the active force system in the event of 

mobilization, and requires re-input of remaining data by CBPOs 

after M-day. This is not consistent with the original system design 

specifications, which provided for immediate AUTODIN transmission of the entire data file to the active force. This change in 

system design was decided upon by MPC as the most feasible 

course of action, since the Air Force Reserve file is not established 

in Uniform Officer Record (UOR) format. 

In order to keep abreast of active force data systems changes 

and maintain compatible data files, continuing changes will be 

required in the ANG system. Plans for the forthcoming year 

include mechanization of the personnel authorization file, input 

now made by manual operation, and conversion of the existing 

officer and airman systems to "PDS-0 65" and "PDS-A" (Interim), 

respectively. 

MEDICAL SERVICE ffl — 

The Air National Guard Medical Service continued to equip, 

train, and organize medical units to meet support requirements of 

Air National Guard operations. 

At the end of FY 65, the Air National Guard Medical Service 

consisted of: 

12 Tactical Hospitals 

78 Dispensaries 

7 Aeromedical Evacuation Squadrons 

24 Aeromedical Evacuation Flights 

There was an increase of 1 tactical hospital when the 136th Tactical Dispensary, Texas ANG, was reorganized and redesignated, 

on 1 February 1965, to the 136th Tactical Hospital. 

Every effort is being made to obtain qualified personnel to fill 

spaces allocated to ANG medical units. However, there are still 

professional personnel shortages. On 30 June 1965, ANG medical 

units were manned as follows: 

Authorized Assigned Percent 

Medical Corps 328 234 71.3 

Dental Corps 161 87 54.0 

Medical Service Corps 215 124 57.7 

Nurse Corps 661 304 46.0 

Veterinary Corps 24 7 29.2 

1,389 756 

Training of medical personnel continued throughout the year. 

The course in Aerospace Medicine was attended by 24 physicians 

who were designated as flight medical officers. There were 30 

nurses trained as flight nurses. Under the ANG year-round field 

training program, live mission training of crew members of ANG 

aeromedical evacuation units was accomplished aboard MATS 

aeromedical evacuation aircraft. 

During FY 65, the ANG medical equipment program to enable 

medical units to meet mobilization requirements was completed. 

Distribution of T/A 888, 1 March 1965, was made to ANG aeromedical evacuation units; and P472 funds were made available to procure necessary items to operationally equip these units. Final 

delivery was made of equipment for tactical dispensaries and 

tactical hospitals. 
46 

An overall evaluation of the ANG medical program shows that: 

• All medical units are well equipped and are combat ready. 

• There were no unusual problems in the area of aerospace 

medicine. 

• No outbreaks of communicable or infectious diseases occurred during the annual field training tours or unit training 

assemblies. 

• All aircrews and their accompanying personnel are medically qualified for immediate deployment, through periodic medical 

examinations and a continuing immunization program. 

• The caliber of medical care rendered is superior. 

OPERATIONS AND TRAINING 

Organization 

On 30 June 1965, the Air National Guard had 728 federally 

recognized units. Flying units are organized into 24 wings, 90 

groups, and 92 mission squadrons. The number of non-flying units 

remained at 106. To support the Air National Guard force structure, 

there were 98,077 military manpower spaces allocated to the major 

commands.

Reorganization 

During fiscal year 1965, reorganization of the Air National 

Guard was limited to the conversion of the 136th Wing and Group 

at Dallas, Texas, from fighter-interceptor to air refueling mission 

and the 155th Group at Lincoln from fighter interceptor to tactical 

reconnaissance mission. The 170th Air Transport Group moved 

from Newark to McGuire AFB, New Jersey during the year. A radar 

site at Punta Salinas was added to the 140th Aircraft Control and 

Warning Squadron complex in Puerto Rico. 

Extensive surveys of 25 ANG bases were completed during the 

year to determine the economic and operational advantage, if any, 

to relocate to other Department of Defense installations. Three 

relocations were recommended: 170th Air Transport Group from 

Newark to McGuire AFB, New Jersey in FY 65 (accomplished); 157th 

Air Transport Group from Grenier Field to Pease AFB, New Hampshire, in FY 66; and 102nd Tactical Fighter Group from Logan Inter 

national Airport to South Weymouth Naval Air Station, Massachusetts. The Grenier move has been approved and implementing 

plans were in progress. The Logan to South Weymouth move had 

not been fully approved due to real estate negotiations with the 

Massachusetts Port Authority and U.S. Navy real estate authorities.

Flying Hours 

During FY 65, the Air National Guard flew a total of 455,180 

flying hours, of which 279,732 were flown in jet aircraft, 148,312 

in tactical non-jet aircraft, and 27,136 in support aircraft. FY 65 

covered a period during which the ANG gained over 400 new pilots 

as a result of a concentrated program to recoup the loss of pilots 

experienced after the Berlin recall. The large influx of new pilots 

expended many addit onal flying hours in accomplishing the required refresher training. Through close supervision of the ANG 

Commanders, maximum dual utilization of flying hours was made 

in all flying areas to complete necessary refresher and combat 

readiness training and still remain within the FY 65 flying hour 

program. 

Tactical Air Command Units 

Fiscal year 1965 proved to be a real "coming of age" for tactical air units of the Air National Guard. Starting with READY 

GO—deployment of two fighter wings to Europe—and ending with 

ONEIDA BEAR II—tactical support for a First U.S. Army operationAir Guard tactical units had an active year of operational exercises 

and readiness inspections. 

READY GO provided the Air Guard with a chance to demonstrate its readiness ability. It reaffirmed the Air Guard's stature 

in global tactical air operations, which were first tested during 

the Berlin Crisis in 1961 in a 216-aircraft flight to Europe. What 

the ANG Berlin Crisis flight proved in ANG mobility, READY GO 

proved in immediacy. In 1961, it took six days of island hopping 

for the Air Guard planes to reach Europe. In READY GO, the trip 

was completed in nine hours and 20 minutes. Forty-five minutes 

later, the same aircraft were fully armed, refueled, crewed with 

fresh pilots, and ready for combat. 
47 
48 

The ANG's four Air Commando Groups also attained greater 

stature in FY 65 as they mastered their special mission operations 

in frequent joint training exercises with Marines and Army Special 

Forces. In HIGHLAND FLING, West Virginia Guardsmen of the 

130th Air Commando Group deployed to the Panama Canal Zone 

for yearly training. It marked the first time in Air Guard history 

that a complete unit was sent outside of the U.S. for complete 

annual training requirements. The West Virginians flew 151 

sorties in their C-119's and U-10's while conducting counterinsurgency and jungle survival training, and perfecting personnel 

and cargo para-drops. 

Air National Guard tactical combat readiness was sharpened 

as the ANG units, under the direction and inspection of the Tactical Air Command, employed the same training standards, criteria 

and methods required of the regular Air Force. To attain and 

maintain proficiency in weapons delivery, tactical fighter units 

conducted training at field training sites and Air Force bases. 

Usually conducted on weekends, these exercises were for air-to-air 

and air-to-ground weapons employment and performed in accordance with Tactical Air Command's techniques and tactics. 

An outstanding example of the Air Guard's adaptability was 

demonstrated by the 134th Air Refueling Group of the Tennessee 

ANG. Barely one year after transferring from the Air Defense 

Command to TAC, the 134th Group passed its first standardization 

evaluation program inspection and gained an "Outstanding" rating. 

The unit also rated extremely high on their first operational readiness inspection—a feat which typifies the outstanding caliber of 

ANG commanders and men. 

ANG tactical units gained their second air refueling wing 

when the 136th Air Defense Wing was redesignated as the 136th Air 

Refueling Wing in February. The conversion was made necessary 

by the Air Guard's requirement for another wing to accommodate 

the world-wide assignment capability of its tactical aircraft. 

Military Air Transport Units 

During FY 65, military air transport units of the Air National 

Guard flew more overwater missions, hauled more cargo and 

transported more passengers than ever before in recorded Air 

Guard history. Amassing 117,520 flying hours, the transports carried 

90,732 passengers and 18,427.5 tons of cargo. Included in this 

effort was 60,840 flying hours, 11,388 cargo-tons and 1,469 overwater 

flights made in direct support of the Military Air Transport Service 

(MATS). 

Due to heavy airlift commitments brought about by tense 

situations in South Vietnam and the Dominican Republic, MATS 

requested the participation of the Air National Guard in augmenting their world-wide airlift mission. The valuable assist lent to the 

regular Air Force command received personal plaudits from MATS 

Commander General Howell M. Estes, Jr. 

The new high in passenger transportation came about as a 

result of the Air Guard's participation in a number of mobility 

exercises involving Air Guardsmen, Army National Guardsmen and 

forces of the regular Army. GUARDLIFT I, for example, saw the 

air transport units move over 10,500 Army Guardsmen to summer 

training areas. This massive airlift included overwater flights to 

both Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska. 

Another overwater deployment undertaken by the Air Guardsmen was READY GO, an operation which moved a tactical fighter 

wing from the District of Columbia and a tactical reconnaissance 

wing from Alabama to bases in Europe. Much of the airlift support 

for this operation was provided by Air Guard transport units. 

Some of the other major training exercises involving Air National Guard air transport units during the year were DIAMOND 

LIL XIV, DENALI EAGLE, HIGHLAND FLING and the opening phase 

of GUARDLIFT II. 

Oklahoma Air National Guard's "Talking Bird' aircraft was 

deployed in early May, at the request of the regular Air Force, to 

support forces landing in the Dominican Republic. Talking Bird 

is a C-97 loaded with electronics gear to provide communications 

support for contingency or emergency situations. Operating from 

Ramey Air Force Base, Puerto Rico, the Air Guard plane alternated 

with the Tactical Air Command's "Bird" providing the Commanderin-Chief, Atlantic, overall commander of the landing operation, with 

a vital communications link to the U.S. 

Another special mission of note was performed by the California ANG. Again at the request of the regular Air Force, the 

Californians transported an essential computer part needed in the 

Pentagon from Burbank to Andrews AFB, Maryland. This part was 

so sensitive that the slightest jar would render it useless. Avoiding turbulent air all the way and landing with feather-like softness, 

the C-97 successfully delivered the component to the Maryland 

base. 

All air transport units of the Air National Guard were organizationally realigned into a new dual deputy concept of command and 

management required by the Air Force and MATS. Essentially, 

this move inactivated the existing materiel squadrons and established supply squadrons and consolidated aircraft maintenance 

squadrons in lieu thereof. 

The 118th and 133rd Air Transport Wings received the MATS 

Outstanding Unit Award. Both wings flew the entire year without 

a single flying violation or aircraft accident. For the 133rd, it 

was the second consecutive accident-free year. 

Air Defense Command Units 

At the end of FY 65, there were 136 units in the ANG program 

with the Air Defense Command (ADC) as the gaining command. 

There were 5 wings, 22 groups, and 22 fighter squadrons with 

2,544 officers and 19,269 airmen authorized and 2,121 officers and 

15,224 airmen assigned. In addition to the flying units, there were 

2 Aircraft Control and Warning (AC&W) Squadrons with 44 officers 

and 495 airmen authorized and 43 officers and 422 airmen assigned. 

Modernization of these forces during FY 65, began with the 

conversion of units in Ontario and Fresno, California, to the F-102 

aircraft. Other units are scheduled for conversion to the F-102 aircraft. Last fall the 148th Fighter Interceptor Group, Duluth, Minnesota, won the annual Ricks Trophy Event in competition with all 

ANG F-89J units at Tyndall AFB. Judges were from Hq, Air Defense 

Command. The award presentation was made at the annual Air 

Force Association Convention in Washington. 

Twenty-two squadrons participated in the ADC Alert Program. 

All of these units performed alert coverage on a 24-hour schedule 

with 2 to 3 aircraft on 5 or 15 minute alert. The alert status of 

each unit was dependent on mission priority. The Hawaiian ANG 

provides sole Air Defense coverage for the islands and operates 

around the clock (both Fighter Interceptor Squadrons and AC&W 

Squadrons) seven days a week. The alert aircraft included F-86, 

F-89J, F-100, and F-102 types at locations stretched across the United 

States, and Puerto Rico. 

The ANG alert program comprises a substantial part of the 

Air Defense Command's total capability. The alert force of the 

ANG is in direct active duty support of the regular establishment 

and is not primarily a training force. In several units, the ANG is 

standing alert with aircraft capable of delivering nuclear weapons. 

In FY 65, 18,388 scrambles were made and 37,226 intercepts were 

accomplished in support of the Air Defense Command. The ANG 

part-time pilots performing alert duty, come from all walks of 

civilian life—lawyers, undertakers, plumbers, bankers, etc. 

The ANG/ADC units have deployed interceptor aircraft in 

weapons firing and other test firing programs, both at Tyndall and 

Holloman AF Bases. Airlifts to and from these centers were provided by the ANG MATS units. All of the ANG fighter-interceptor 

units are on the year-around annual field training plan. Under this 

concept, individual members of a unit may extend their 15-day 

active duty Lour, with the permission of the commander, over 

several periods during the year rather than 15 consecutive days.

AEROSPACE SAFETY 

The Air National Guard accident rate for FY 1965 was 7.03 

major aircraft accidents per 100,000 hours of flying. This was 

slightly higher than the FY 1964 rate of 6.92 but lower than any 

other previous year. The accident rate for FY 63 was 8.52; FY 62 

was 10.86; and FY 61 was 12.66. 

AIR NATIONAL GUARD ACCIDENT RATE - FY 1965 

BASED ON 100,000 HOURS FLYING TIME 

ACCIDENT RATE 

20 

During FY 65, there was continued emphasis on the accident 

prevention program by Headquarters USAF, the National Guard 

Bureau, the Adjutants General of the several States, and the unit 

commanders. The National Guard Bureau established an office 

of Aerospace Safety directly responsible to the Assistant Chief 

NGB for Air National Guard. A Nuclear Safety Officer was included 

in this office. 

Factors attributing to the excellent flying safety record for 

FY 65 were: further improvements to airfield operating conditions 

such as runway extensions and repair; installation of jet aircraft 

arresting gear; expansion of aircraft parking ramps; and construction of aircraft alert hangars. All flying units were manned with a 

Flying Safety Officer who had completed the Flying Safety Course 

at the University of Southern California. 

The introduction of and conversion to additional century series 

jet fighter aircraft into the Air National Guard inventory presented 

a continuing challenge to maintain a downward accident trend. 

This challenge will continue to be met by the Air National Guard 

with the net result of an increased combat capability and mission 

accomplishment at the expenditure of minimum dollars. 

COMMUNICATIONS—ELECTRONICS 

AND WEATHER 

General 

Significant gains were made during FY 1965 in the Communications-Electronics and Weather units in the ANG. During this period 

USAF and the Department of Defense (DOD) have taken a deep 

look, through the program change proposal (PCP) process, at the four 

Communications Groups (Mobile), two Mobile Communications 

Squadrons with their nine subordinate flights, 15 GEEIA Squadrons, 

two Communications Maintenance Squadrons and the 280th Special Communications Squadron. Those units were included in a 

consolidated PCP requested by DOD. Inputs were made by each 

of "the program monitors for Command Control Communications 

elements. Final DOD decisions had not been received on the 

consolidated PCP. 

As a result of close scrutiny at the highest levels of DOD and 

USAF, some recommendations are being made regarding reorganization and reequipping of these units to make them more nearly 

conform to their active duty counterparts and to increase their 

value to the Department of Defense in the event of mobilization. 

The weather flights, tactical control groups and fixed AC&W 

units were also scrutinized by USAF and DOD during the' past 

fiscal year through direct PCP action or because of PCP "impact on 

other areas." In all those actions, decisions were favorable and 

the C-E&W unit missions were solidified. The fact that missions 

are more firm has greatly enhanced the equipping program, and 

equipment "buys" through Air Force procurement channels are 

well under way to provide these units with the latest "state of the 

art" communications equipment. 

ANG Weather Flights 

(Air Weather Service—MATS) 

During FY 1965, the significant achievement in the field of 

weather was approval by the DOD for the formation of one weather 

squadron and 6 additional weather flights. Purpose of the weather 

flights is to provide operational weather support to the six priority 

Army National Guard divisions. The weather squadron was created 

to provide a parent organization for all the 37 ANG weather flights. 

During this period, an extensive recruiting program was conducted in all weather flights which improved manning of these 

units. Officer manning increased from 80 percent one year ago to 

90 percent, and enlisted personnel increased from 74 percent to 

92 percent. 

Nineteen weather flights provided complete weather support to 

ANG flying units during field training exercises. Twelve flights 

received training by augmenting Air Force personnel at active Air 

Force bases. 

ANG GEEIA Units (GEEIA-AFLC) 

The 15 Ground Electronics Engineering Installation Agency 

(GEEIA) Squadrons continued their training by augmenting the 

active Air Force GEEIA program and gaining the experience necessary for a successful mobilization mission in the Air Force Logistics 

Command. The GEEIA units obtained realistic training at Air Force 

bases and ANG locations by installing and rehabilitating fixed 

ground C&E equipment and systems during unit training assembly 

(UTA) periods and annual field training. The two Communications 

Maintenance Squadrons performed depot level and mobile depot 

level maintenance of ground C&E equipment both at home station 

and at Air Force sites during their training periods. 

During the past few years, these units have increased their 

capability from the level of training on simulated projects at home 

station to the actual installation and repair of complex electronic 

equipment and systems in the field. They now specialize in the 

installation and maintenance of ground radio and radar equipment 

and complete outside plant and telephone switching systems. In 

FY 1965, the ANG GEEIA and Communications Maintenance Squad-
50 
5' 

rons trained at 69 different AF and ANG sites in 28 States. A total 

of 103,480 man-hours was utilized in the actual installation and 

repair of C&E equipment and systems. Of this total, 85,773 manhours were in direct support of USAF projects. 

For FY 1966, Headquarters GEEIA has expressed a desire for 

some ANG GEEIA personnel to be utilized overseas to perform 

installation and/or maintenance work in selected areas. More 

effective and realistic training will be realized by those ANG units 

which augment the active Air Force GEEIA Squadrons at these 

locations. 

ANG Communications Units 

(Air Force Communications Service) 

Under the guidance of Air Force Communications Service and 

its three CONUS Regions, the four Communications Groups (Mobile), two Mobile Communications Squadrons and the 280th Conmunications Squadron (Special) are being molded into highly 

skilled C&E units capable of responding to AFCS requirements 

during emergencies. The four Communications Groups now have 

highly mobile radio systems that can be deployed in tactical 

exercises or against USAF requirements to extend or replace links 

of the world-wide communications systems operated by AFCS. The 

11 Emergency Mission Support (EMS) units in the Mobile Communications Squadrons can dispatch teams to provide mobile 

navigational aid, flight facility and related communications services as desired by AFCS. In, support of periodic training exercises, 

the 280th Communications Squadron at Maxwell AFB assists AFCS 

in the operation of communications facilities at that base in 

support of its tenant units. 

Mobile communications units spent the period improving individual qualifications and incorporating high frequency single 

sideband equipment into their communications systems. The air 

traffic controllers in the mobile communications units are receiving more real traffic controlling experience than ever before. Navigational aid and communications equipment, although difficult to 

acquire, is gradually being added to the ANG inventory. 

The largest single innovation in the mobile communications 

systems was the addition of the transportable communications 

central (TRANSCOM) for the Communications Squadron (Relay 

Center) in each of the four Communications Groups (Mobile). This 

communications central is van mounted and transportable. Each 

provides a long range high frequency radio teletype system which 

can cover distances up to 2,500 miles with multichannels of voice 

and teletype circuitry. Being compatible with equipment used in 

the Defense Communications System and other systems used by 

the Air Force, TRANSCOM adds a good measure to the utility of 

systems available in the four ANG Communications Groups 

(Mobile). 

The first operational use of this equipment took place during 

Operation Polar Strike during the period 4-17 February 1965. The 

equipment assigned to the 162nd Communications Group (Mobile), 

California ANG, was operated with the TRANSCOM assigned to the 

Alaskan Communications Region of Air Force Communications 

Service. This was a test exercise of the TRANSCOM to determine 

the feasibility of using this equipment for emergency alternate 

routing from the CONUS to Alaska. Excellent results were obtained 

from this system test and the potential value of the TRANSCOM 

to the ANG and the Air Force was established. Since that time 

all sets have tested in interim locations. Efforts are under way 

to find more permanent, semifixed locations for installing the units 

in their optimum configurations. 

In addition to this system, small suitcase packaged high 

frequency single sideband equipment, the KWM-2A's were distributed to many of the ground C&E units. The more effective use 

of power and frequency spectrum make the single sideband equipment highly suitable for improving the HF radio point-to-point 

operations used in the ANG for customer service as well as ANG 

command and control. 

The training program of the Mobile Communications Squadrons 

has received a strong boost. On 1 October 1964, an agreement 

between AFCS, the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and the National 

Guard Bureau to train ANG control tower personnel in FAA towers 

was implemented. This provides for regular on-the-job training of 

selected ANG traffic controllers in FAA control towers. Live traffic 

experience gained in this program coupled with qualifications developed during field training operations promise to make the progression in this difficult-to-train specialty unusually good. Only a 

few years ago, no means existed for live air traffic control training 

in .these AFCS Reserve Forces units. 

A modification program to improve the lightweight Ground 

Controlled Approach (GCA) sets in the EMS units is well under 

way. The eight TPN-12 sets in these units are being converted to 

the AN/TPN-12A configuration. The first modified set was put 

into operation by the 231st Mobile Communications Squadron in 

support of flying training operations at Phelps-Collins ANG Base, 

Michigan, during June 1965. Two additional modified lightweight 

GCA sets were due to be delivered during July 1965. The remaining 

sets will be completed during the first half of FY 1966. 

ANG Tactical Control Groups 

(Tactical Air Command) 

Significant achievements were made in FY 1965 to bring these 

units to an improved operational posture. First, USAF approved 

the reorganization of the two Tactical Control Groups to conform 

with their active Air Force counterparts. This will be done using 

existing locations and facilities with little relocation of mission 

equipment. A new Direct Air Support mission will be developed 

and tested in a peacetime training environment. Second, the 

USAF decision to equip these units with new and more modern 

mobile tactical communications systems will insure systems compatibility during joint service exercises and in the event of 

mobilization. Third, the implementation of the System Training 

Program (STP) using the radar simulation equipment received from 

USAF now insures the most realistic training possible. This program, which is provided under contract by the System Development 

Corporation of Santa Monica, California, brings to the ANG tactical 

control system a means to exercise and stress the operational 

capabilities, using both simulated conditions and live aircraft. 

Implementation of STP and increased assistance by the ANG 

tactical and air defense flying units have increased the Weapons 

Controller's proficiency levels to their highest peak. 

The 152nd Tactical Control Group concentrated their efforts 

during this year in implementing STP during the Unit Training 

Assemblies and generally improving individual skill levels. Preparation and planning for a forthcoming overseas summer field 

training deployment were intiated during this period. The 157th 

Tactical Control Group conducted summer field training at home 

station implementing STP for the first time under these conditions. 

In addition, this Group tested some of the new functional areas 

to be gained under the reorganization. With the many "firsts" 

achieved this year, both Groups have reached new peaks in 

operational readiness. 

ANG Fixed AC&W Squadrons 

(ADC - PACAF - ANTDEFCOM) 

Two squadrons located at Koko Crater, Oahu, and Kokee, Kauai, 

have continued to provide full time air defense facilities to the 

Commander, PACAF in the Hawaiian Island complex. A third 

AC&W Squadron in Hawaii is in an air defense week-end training 

status and also provides full time operation of the radio relay 

site connecting Kauai-Oahu air defense systems. 

Construction of the HANG/FAA joint-use facilities at Wheeler 

AFB and Mt. Ka'ala has reached its final stages. Operation of radio 

and radar equipment at the new site was begun 1 July 1965. 
S2 

The two fixed AC&W Squadrons located at Salt Lake City, 

Utah, and Greeley, Colorado, provide a full time air defense capability to Air Defense Command in the NORAD system. Both units 

are fulfilling Ground Control Intercept (GCI) and Master Surveillance Station (MSS) missions; the MSS mission is conducted at 

nearby FAA Air Route Traffic Control Centers. 

The AC&W Squadron in Puerto Rico now operates a two-site 

air defense system on a 14 hour-a-day basis in support of the air 

defense mission of the Commander, Antilles Defense Command 

under CINCLANT. In addition to satisfying urgent Air Force requirements at their home stations and at much reduced costs, 

this type of operation provides the best possible training for 

ANG personnel. 

USAF SPACETRACK System 

The Wellesley Doppler facility operated by the 276th Communications Squadron has continued on an on-call basis providing important data to the NORAD SPACETRACK System. 

ANG C-97E "Talking Bird" 

The ANG Talking Bird command communications package was 

modified and updated to include more modern USAF/DCA compatible equipment. Operational capabilities and functions were 

greatly enhanced by the increase in command positions to eleven. 

Each position has operating control for utilizing all equipment 

installed on aircraft. The airframe of the aircraft was also inspected 

and repaired through an IRAN facility, on a priority basis. 

ANG Base Communications Activities 

The following ANG Air Technician job descriptions were rewritten and updated in functions pertinent to ground communications-electronics units: 

• Job #47-18, Motorized Vehicle/Ground Equipment Specialist 

(Communication). 

• Job #47-19, Motorized Vehicle Ground Equipment Technician 

(Communications). 

• Job #47-20, Apprentice Motorized Vehicle/Ground Equipment Specialist (Communications). 

• Job #30-23, Communications Technician, Ground. 

The ANG regulation governing commercial communications 

services available to all ANG bases and sites, ANGR 100-01, was 

completely revised and rewritten. Main points of this revision include services of AUTOVON, command post telephone service, and 

field training communications service. 

AUTOVON services were programmed for all ANG bases and 

sites. Installation is phased by quarters on a two-year schedule 

and when completed will put all ANG units on a world-wide common communications network with the active forces. 

Independent business line telephone service was authorized 

for ANG command posts. This is a 100 percent federally funded 

circuit for use in support of mission assignment. 

Equipment for increasing the capability of the AN/FTC-18 

Automatic X-Y Dial Switchboard has been received by all units 

possessing the AN'FTC-18. This program was begun late in FY 

1964 and is now in the completion stages at unit level. Units not 

having an X-Y Dial Switchboard but having a requirement for same 

were provided a suitable substitute in the F-80 system. Twelve of 

these F-80 X-Y, 80-line systems were provided to the ANG from 

USAF missile site excesses. 

The long sought single sideband equipment, for which programming action was taken late in FY 1964, is being received in 

the ANG TAC and MATS units. This equipment consists of the 

KWM-2A HF SSB radio transceiver, a 30L1 one kilowatt amplifier, 

and other ancillary items. Flying units mentioned above are in 

receipt of two each SSB packages. 

In January 1965, a letter was sent to all ANG flying units 

establishing the NGB position concerning communications equipment for ANG command posts. Policy set forth by this letter recommended establishing the ANG command posts on an austere 

basis at base level or the highest level of tactical command commensurate with the assigned mission. Equipment required should 

be from realigning current T/A assets. 

Radio Frequency Allocations 

Assignment of radio frequencies for maintenance control and 

security systems were revalidated and authorized to ANG locations to enhance -omplete utilization of dual channel equipment. 

ANG Navigation Aids 

To promote safety of flight operations at ANG flying locations, 

the following terminal navigation aids were installed: TWOR, 

Schenectady, New York; Dual Channel TACAN at Bradley Field, 

Connecticut, and Phelps-Collins ANG Base, Alpena, Michigan; 

Single Channel TACAN at Martinsburg, West Virginia. 

SYSTEMS AND LOGISTICS 

Supply and Services 

Materiel support of new weapon systems programmed into the 

Air National Guard during FY 1965 brought about closer surveillance of supply procedures at Bureau level for improved distribution of ground support equipment and aircraft spares for new 

weapon systems. Organizations scheduled for aircraft conversions 

were furnished with ANG Supply Support Plans containing instructions for actions at base level. They included information 

regarding supply support agreements between the Air National 

Guard and Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) supply agencies 

and system support managers and assisted materially in the orderly acquisition of materiel required to support newly assigned 

aircraft. 

The National Guard Bureau compiled a preliminary list of inert munitions required for training of aircraft loading crews. 

Amendment of ANGR 50-22, to include these items was requested. 

Pending publication of this regulation, interim authority was 

issued for inert munitions, and the authority refined as further 

requirements became known. 

Radio survival equipment, the AN/URC-10/11 and the AN/URT21, were in a negligible or almost non-existent supply at the beginning of the year. The Air National Guard was omitted from 

the original procurement of the AN/URT-21 program. WarnerRobins Air Materiel Area (WRAMA) had no assets or funds to procure the 3,060 radio survival sets required by the Air National 

Guard. Authorization was requested from Chief of Staff, U.S. Air 

Force, and received to procure with NGB funds the number required, and procurement was made. On 16 June 1965, shipment 
53 

was completed by the contractor to the ANG units. Additional 

requirements due to change in allowances for a total of 91 each 

have been programmed to Warner-Robins Air Materiel Area 

(WRAMA). Another 1,153 AN/URC-10/11 radios were programmed. 

Some units received their allotment, however, complete shipment 

of the original 1,153 was not anticipated prior to September 1965. 

An additional 575 AN/URC-10/ll's have been programmed through 

WRAMA for replacements. 

A critical shortage of 20-man life rafts exists throughout the 

Air Force. Shortages were expected to be overcome by October 

and November 1965. A shortage of one-man life rafts also existed 

in the ANG because of the release of 237 for an emergency requirement. Shortages of these items were to be overcome by 

September and November 1965. 

The M-16 rifle authorized to the Air National Guard has never 

been issued to our units. All rifles used for the past two years 

have been the M-l carbines. On 18 March 1965, WRAMA was requested to program the M-16 rifle requirement to the ANG. First 

year's allotment of these rifles will be distributed to the Air Police 

units and to the training sites and to other units in proportionate 

quantities at a later date. 

During FY 1965, the Air National Guard instituted a procedure 

for reporting local excess equipment utilizing punch card accounting machine (PCAM) procedures. As a result, the movement of 

excess equipment from base level was expedited and materiel 

valued at 5.5 million dollars was redistributed within the Air National Guard. 

Joint Air National Guard, gaining command and Air Force 

Logistics Command allowan'ce reviews were conducted to refine 

and update equipment allowances for ANG units. Special emphasis 

was placed on the current mobilization and deployment requirements of the gaining commands. As a result, all current allowance documents were refined to authorize the essential equipment 

necessary for mobilization and deployment of ANG units. Joint 

Air Force Communication Services and ANG reviews established 

new mobility equipment authorizations for ANG communication 

units. This action resulted in the improvement of the "Ready 

Now" capability of these units. Coordination between ANG and 

gaining commands to establish on-the-spot reviews of ANG equipment posture is being effected. These reviews will further refine 

equipment readiness of ANG units. 

The ANG Air Technician Base Supply organizational and functional structure was changed to reflect the current USAF structure. 

The Chief of Supply and Services supervises all supply functions 

with particular emphasis given to equipment by the Equipment 

Management Officer and supplies by the Supplies Management 

Officer. The most important change establishes the Maintenance 

Support Section in the Supplies Management activity. This section 

reacts to maintenance requests within priorities established by 

maintenance activities. Requests are now made verbally, supply 

conducts research, prepares documentation and makes delivery 

within prescribed time limits. 

A new uniform clothing allowance was developed for ANG 

airmen. The allowance does away with prior supplemental allowances for schools and creates a single allowance for men during 

unit training assembly (UTA), active duty for training, and initial 

phases of mobilization. The ANG allowance was also adopted for 

the Air Force Reserve, thereby standardizing all Reserves of Air 

Force uniform allowances. 

The War Reserve Materiel (WRM), program has been expanded 

to include all tactical and transport units of the Air National 

Guard. AM units involved have assembled WRM Mobility Kits 

(Spare Parts). Mobilization kits possessed by these units are, on 

the average more than 95% complete and provide field support 

for periods up to thirty days. 

Vehicles 

During FY 65, the ANG fleet was improved by the addition 

of 471 new vehicles, allowing phaseout of some of the older expensive-to-repair vehicles. Included in the equipment received 

were 41 buses, 31 aircraft towing tractors, 102 truck tractors, 101 

stake and platform trucks and 12 snowplows. 

A program to overhaul snow removal equipment during summer months was initiated. This program allows shipment of vehicles to contractors in early spring and guarantees return of 

the equipment prior to the first snowfall. 

Maintenance Engineering 

The F-100C aircraft in-flight refueling (IFR) modification (NR 

1213) was started in FY 1964 on aircraft assigned to the 113th 

Tactical Fighter Group, Andrews AFB, and it was extended to include the entire ANG F-100C fleet. At the time of this report, 

completion of the fleet was expected during August-September 

1965. This modification brings all ANG F-100C aircraft up to full 

deployment capability. Coupled with the F-100C IFR modification 

was the completion of the jet augmented ANG tanker fleet. What 

began as a prototype installation of jet engine pods in a single 

KD-97G from the old KB-50 tanker aircraft in March 1964 was 

developed by the ANG into a full-blown modification for the entire 

ANG aerial tanker fleet. The completion of this modification (Nr 

1437) enables the ANG to be self-sustained in deployment of 

tactical fighter and reconnaissance aircraft. The modified KC-97-

aircraft were redesignated the KC-97L. During FY 1965 the ANG 

received the last of F/RF-84 aircraft which had been on loan to the 

USAF following the Berlin crisis of 1961. Some of the aircraft 

were cycled through a Canadian contractor prior to delivery. Other 

aircraft were received directly from USAF and later cycled through 

the contractor. ANG accomplished 182 inspect and repair as necessary (IRAN's) by contractor field teams at home bases. A total 

of 97 F-84F's were processed through the Canadian contractor. 

In keeping with normal maintenance practices, the ANG sent 

24 C-121C/G aircraft, 17 KC-97L aircraft, eight C-119C aircraft and 

55 RB-57 aircraft through IRAN cycles. 

Two hundred ninety-two J35 engines underwent extensive depot level modernization in FY 1965. Seven engineering change proposals designed to increase engine life expectancy were incorporated in the engine. The modernized engines were installed in 

those F-89J aircraft scheduled to remain longest in the inventory. 

Also, 37 J73-3 engines for the F-86H squadron remaining longest 

in the program underwent extensive modification. 

A significant contribution to USAF efforts in Southeast Asia 

was made by the ANG in converting RB-57 aircraft to combat 

configuration and transferring them to USAF for delivery overseas. 

During FY 1965, the F-102A IRAN facility at Mobile Air Materiel Area (MOAMA) was phased out. Fifty-five F/TF-102A aircraft 

were cycled through IRAN at MOAMA. Hawaii ANG completed 

IRAN on five F-120's through utilization of a contractor field team. 

In the closing months of FY 1965, Hawaii ANG began receiving later 

model F-102A aircraft to replace the older systems. 

Aircraft Inventory 

On 30 June 1965, there were 1,772 aircraft assigned to the Air 

National Guard compared to 1,810 at the beginning of the fiscal 

year. The decrease in inventory of 38 aircraft during fiscal year 

1965 cannot be attributed to any one model aircraft. The F-86L/H 

inventories dropped due to aircraft conversions, and the F-89J's 

decreased due to a reduction in the number of aircraft assigned 

per unit. The RB-57 inventory was reduced due to the return of 20 

to USAF for use in Southeast Asia. The F-100C and F-102 inventories showed slight increases. Although the first F-105B aircraft 

was accepted during FY 1964, the major portion of the aircraft were 

not ready for transfer to the Air National Guard until FY 65. The 

first two F-101 aircraft were delivered to the ANG during this 

fiscal year—another step toward augmenting the Air Guard with 

higher performance aircraft. 
S4 

CIVIL ENGINEERING 

During FY 1965 there were no major changes in installations 

used by the Air National Guard. However, programming was adjusted and projects were accomplished to accommodate conversion to century series aircraft during FY 1966. Tactical and 

training missions continued at selected municipal airports, meeting the majority of operational requirements of the tactical and 

training missions of the units. Most bases were used jointly with 

commercial aviation. Facility shortages are being fulfilled by programming in the Military Construction Program. Maintenance and 

repair or alterations of real property structures were accomplished 

using Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funds for service contracts, individual contracts, and training projects. At each ANG 

flying installation one base engineer technician supervises all of 

the utility and facility operations and construction program. 

At the end of FY 1965, our base inventory consisted of 92 flying 

bases (including five permanent training sites) and 46 non-flying 

installations located within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, 

and Puerto Rico. 

Major Construction Program 

The fiscal year 1965 Military Construction Program (MCP) 

totalled $12.8 million of which approximately 30 percent was under 

contract by 30 June 1965. Three main factors contributed to this 

low obligation rate: An administrative budget restriction in December 1964, reduced FY 65 MCP from $18.0 million to $12.8 million, 

requiring a close scrutiny of program to determine the most urgent 

needs; Reserve Forces merger plans with base closure implications 

further complicated and delayed final project approval. Late passage of enabling legislation by Congress prevented any contract 

obligation until late in the third quarter. The revised program 

included new construction for aircraft maintenance, headquarters, 

training, ammunition storage and miscellaneous facilities, air field 

pavements and alert aircraft shelters. The program executed 

varied substantially from that initially submitted for congressional 

approval. The changes were accomplished as rapidly as circumstances and requirements permitted, using the streamlined procedures authorized by enabling legislation. 

Under the FY 65 MCP, construction projects were or are being 

accomplished as follows: 70 projects by three construction 

agencies; 14 projects by the Corps of Engineers; 17 projects by the 

Bureau of Yards and Docks; and 39 projects by the different States. 

Active participation by the States in the MPC program produced 

the largest amount of facilities for each dollar invested. 

Whereas enabling legislation has been a large factor in delaying the execution of FY 64 and FY 65 MCPs, a more optimistic 

outlook is held forth for FY 66 MCP, as congressional hearings are 

expected to be completed early in the fiscal year with project 

approval to follow shortly thereafter. This will greatly assist in a 

more timely accomplishment of FY 66 MCP. 

Minor Construction Program 

Approximately 475 minor construction projects (maintenance, 

repair, modification) were accomplished during FY 65 at a total 

cost of $2.8 million. Projects under this program included the 

construction of several pole-type and pre-engineered buildings to 

be used for storage of 780 equipment and fly-away kits for tactical 

units. Also included, were several large, urgent projects for maintenance and repair of airfield pavements. The conversion of some 

units to century series aircraft generated a requirement for many 

alteration and modification projects that were done with O&M 

funds. 

Another important phase of the Air National Guard program 

was the accomplishment of many maintenance, repair and minor 

construction projects as training projects. Materials for these 

projects were purchased and the labor was performed by personnel 

assigned to civii engineering sections during unit training assemblies and annual field training. The advantages of this type 

project are threefold: 

• A required project is accomplished. 

• Assigned personnel receive valuable training in their 

specialties. 

• There are considerable savings in funds expended to 

accomplish the projects. 

Urgent minor construction project approvals have been obtained from DOD for 11 projects with estimated costs totalling approximately $500,000. It is anticipated that these projects will be 

completed in the second quarter FY 66. Representative projects 

in this category are flight simulator buildings, power check pads, 

and aircraft arresting barrier installations. 

Maintenance and Operation 

Routine maintenance of facilities and the operation of utility 

systems at ANG installations were accomplished, as in prior 

years, by means of service contracts and agreements between the 

Federal government and the several States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The cost sharing formula continued at 75 

percent Federal/25 percent State participation. Total Federal cost 

was approximately $8.6 million. 

Real Estate 

Real estate required for Air National Guard units is normally 

provided under a Federal long-term lease at nominal cost. At some 

locations certain real estate is under USAF or other military control (government-owned) and is made available to the State under 

a license.
