TO THE SECRETARIES OF THE ARMY AND THE AIR FORCE: 

This 62nd Annual Report of the Chief, National Guard Bureau, covers 

Fiscal Year 1968. It is respectfully submitted as an official record of 

Guard operations during this important 12-month period. 

Your attention is invited to the sections on the partial mobilization of the 

Army and Air Guard, the deployment of Air Guard units overseas, the 

assistance given civil authorities in the control of civil disorders, 

and to the reorganization of the Army Guard. 

The Executive Order placing 9,178 Air Guardsmen, in three tactical wings, 

with 11 tactical groups and specialized support elements, on active duty 

as of 26 January 1968, represents the 11th time in our history that the 

Guard has been mobilized. This was followed on 11 April 1968 by an 

Executive Order mobilizing 13,633 Army Guardsmen, together with 

two additional tactical fighter groups and one aeromedical evacuation 

group from the Air Guard. We are proud of the response made by the 

individual Guardsmen to these orders, and we are proud of their state of 

training readiness on reporting for active duty. The mobilization has 

proven the effectiveness of the Air Guard Combat Beef, and the ArmyGuard Selected Reserve Force concepts of adequate resources 

plus training time to produce readiness. 

The combat operations of the mobilized Air Guard units that have been 

deployed to Vietnam further bear out the Combat Beef concept. The units 

deployed to Korea are also a credit to Combat Beef training. We are 

confident that the Army Guard units, when deployed, will perform 

no less creditably. 

The account in this report of civil disorder operations covers the lessons 

presented in Newark and Detroit in the summer of 1967, and the Guard's 

success in applying these lessons in the disorders of last Spring. We 

believe that the Guard demonstrated once more its reliability as the 

military arm of the governors of the respective States for maintaining law 

and order, and for protecting the lives and property of the citizens. 

The Army Guard section of this report tells of the major reorganization that, 

starting on 1 December 1967, was completed as of 1 June 1968. We 

believe this ranks among the most significant organizational changes ever 

made in the Army Guard structure in that each unit is assigned a war 

plans mission, and is assured of the resources with which to train for this 

mission. The cooperation of the governors of the 50 States, Puerto Rico, 

and the government of the District of Columbia in reaching agreements 

on the troop structure made the reorganization possible. 

In the final analysis, all achievements of the year rest upon the support 

received from the Departments of Defense, Army, and Air Force, and 

the governors. This we gratefully acknowledge. 

In addition to the operations that I have mentioned, there are others 

recounted in the following pages that I believe merit the pride that we have 

in the contribution that the Guardsman makes to the security of our 

nation, its communities, and its individual citizens.

Congress appropriated $958,670,000 for the Army and Air National 

Guard in Fiscal Year 1968, and additional money was appropriated 

directly for the National Guard by the States. Substantial support 

was also provided by State, county and municipal governments in 

various types of indirect support. This included the donation of 

land, police and fire protection, maintenance of roads, and the provision of direct county and municipal fiscal support to local units. 

At the end of Fiscal Year 1968, the Army National Guard was in 

possession of Federal equipment and vehicles valued in excess of 

$1.6 billion. ARNG units called to active duty during the Fiscal 

Year, carried into the active service equipment and vehicles with 

a dollar value in excess of $50 million which, of course, reduced the 

ARNG inventory by a like amount.

CHRONOLOGY OF NATIONAL 

GUARD MOBILIZATION—FY 1968 

25 Jan—DOD alerted 9,178 Air Guardsmen to report for active duty by midnight 26 January 1968. This was pursuant to a Presidential Executive 

Order mobilizing two tactical fighter wings, eight tactical fighter groups, 

one tactical reconnaissance wing and three tactical reconnaissance 

groups with necessary support elements. 

11 Apr—DOD alerted 12,922 Army and 1,333 Air Guardsmen to report for 

active duty on Ma y 13. Two additional tactical fighter groups and one 

aeromedical evacuation airlift group were included. This wa s pursuant 

to a second Presidential order. 

3 May—The 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Colorado, arrived at Phan Rang 

AB, South Vietnam. 

13 May—All Army and Air National Guard units alerted on April 11 reported 

for active duty. 

17 May—The 174th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Iowa , arrived at Phu Cat AB, 

South Vietnam. 

7 Jun—The 188th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Ne w Mexico, arrived at Tuy Hoa 

AB, South Vietnam. 

15 Jun—The 136th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Ne w York, arrived at Tuy Hoa 

AB, South Vietnam. 
; ;.;.v. 

>CW.V.y.».v.".\ ;-;.v.;.;.; 
South Vietnam, with the increasing demands on the active services. 

The President's mobilization order was issued on January 25 to 

11 Air Guard tactical units, totaling 9,178 officers and men. 

The Air Guardsmen were given 36 hours to report to their units. 

The mobilization was over 99 percent complete. Rejections on physical grounds were minimal—only 0.71 percent of the 9,178 persons 

activated were disqualified. By June 15, four of the squadrons had 

been deployed to Southeast Asia and were flying combat missions. 

Other Air Guard units were preparing for overseas deployment. 

The second Executive order on April 11 alerted 12,922 Army 

Guardsmen to report for active duty on May 13. An additional 1,333 

Air Guardsmen were mobilized in the same order. 

The Department of Army cited the need for the mobilizations 

in these words: "Guard and Reserve Component units are being 

ordered to active duty to fulfill the role for which they were created 

and maintained. Under existing circumstances the burden of worldwide deployments has simply become too heavy to be met within 

the manpower resources of the current active Army. More men and 

units are needed. These added requirements cannot be satisfactorily met solely by increasing draft calls. In short, a selective ordering to active duty of National Guard and Army Reserve forces is 

required to improve the readiness posture of the United States." 
10 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

AIR NATIONAL GUARD 

The 26 January mobilization bore out all that the Air Guard had 

claimed as to its readiness posture. On that date, eight F-100 units 

and three RF-101 units entered active duty. In these units were 

1,076 officers (447 pilots) and 8,102 airmen, for a total of 9,178. The 

eight F-100 units were combat ready at the time of activation and 

could have been deployed to Southeast Asia in a matter of a few 

days. The three RF-101 units were in C-4 status when activated due 

mainly to equipment shortages. Within a month after activation, 

these three units were combat ready and could have been deployed. 

Four months after the mobilization, four Air National Guard 

tactical fighter squadrons—the 120th from Denver, Colorado, the 

174th from Sioux City, Iowa, the 188th from Albuquerque, New 

Mexico, and the 136th from Niagara Falls, New York—were deployed 

to South Vietnam. 

The integration into the active Air Force structure in Vietnam 

was fast and harmonious. Each Guard unit made an impressive 

entry into operational missions, and each quickly formed solid ties 

with its Air Force counterpart, rapidly becoming a significant part 

of the wing structure. 

The Guard squadrons deployed at a strength of about 350 each. 

Upon arrival, each retained some 150 in its tactical fighter mission, 

and the other men were absorbed within the wing and base 

structure. Each unit had many of its personnel in top command 

positions such as commander of base hospital, chief of engine shop, 

and wing flying safety officer. 

The 120th Squadron at Phan Rang, under the 35th Tactical 

Fighter Wing, arrived during the concluding days of the second 

Viet Cong 1968 offensive and entered immediately into combat. 

The 120th completed its 1000th combat mission on June 22, just 44 

days after its arrival in South Vietnam. The 174th Squadron from 

Iowa arrived two weeks after the 120th and completed its 1000th 

mission on its 48th day in South Vietnam. The 174th was in combat 

on its third day in the theater. The 188th from New Mexico and the 

136th from New York, the last units deployed in Fiscal Year 1968, 

were launched on equally impressive records by June 30. 

By the end of the Fiscal Year, all four Guard squadrons in South 

Vietnam had convinced everyone—particularly the Viet Cong—that 

they were highly qualified professionals with a zest and enthusiasm 

equal to any in Vietnam. 

The second call-up was announced on April 11 with a reporting 

date of May 13. Two F-86 units and one Aeromedical Airlift Group 

were mobilized. This mobilization included 224 officers (113 pilots), 

and 1,109 airmen, for a total of 1,333. 

Two of the F-100 units activated in January (113th Tactical 

Fighter Group, District of Columbia, and 177th Tactical Fighter 

Group, Atlantic City, New Jersey) were transferred to Myrtle Beach 

AFB, South Carolina, to form an F-100 training unit for Southeast 

Asia. Two other F-100 units, also mobilized in January (166th Tactical 

Fighter Squadron, Columbus, Ohio; and 127th Tactical Fighter 

Squadron, Wichita, Kansas), were deployed to Korea during the first 

part of July 1968. 

The two F-86H units (174th Tactical Fighter Group, Syracuse, 

New York, and 175th Tactical Fighter Group, Baltimore, Maryland) 

were transferred to Cannon AFB, New Mexico, to provide a Forward 

Air Controller and Air Liaison Officer transition training wing. 

The three RF-101 units (165th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, Louisville, Kentucky; 192d Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, 

Reno, Nevada; and 154th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, Little 

Rock, Arkansas) were scheduled to perform 179-day temporary duty 

tours in Japan. The 154th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was 

scheduled for deployment to Itazuke, Japan, in early FY 1969. It will 

be replaced by one of the two remaining squadrons, which in turn 

will be replaced by the last of the three squadrons. 

ARMY NATIONAL GUARD 

Army National Guard units from 17 States were alerted on 

11 April 1968 for orders to active duty on 13 May 1968. Of the 

assigned strength of these units aggregating 12,922 on the day of 

alert, 12,234 representing 94.7 percent, entered active duty with 

their units. Enlisted personnel whose enlistments expired on or 

before 12 December 1968 were eligible for exemption from active 

duty. The alerted units lost 477 personnel whose enlistments 

expired between 10 April and 12 December 1968. However, 41 

percent of those eligible to be discharged because of ETS extended 

their enlistment to remain with their units. Three officers and 106 

enlisted men were granted exemptions because of extreme personal 

or community hardship. In addition, three officers and 159 enlisted 

men were found to be medically unfit for entry on active duty; 27 

officers and 44 men were lost for miscellaneous reasons such as 

enlistment in other services, delay of reporting date for a professional complement, ROPA eliminations and conviction by civil 

court. Transfers witnin units and commissioning of enlisted men 

add 22 officers and 77 men to make a total of 918 losses. Gains 

of 230, including the 22 officers and 77 men transferring within units 

and volunteers brought the total actually mobilized to 12,234. 

The major elements mobilized were; 29th Infantry Brigade (Separate), Hawaii (with the brigade aviation company from California) 

and the 69th Infantry Brigade (Separate), Kansas (with one 

mechanized Infantry battalion from Iowa , and the 1st Squadron, 

18th Armored Cavalry, from California). 

In addition to these major units, 22 combat support and 9 service support units were ordered to active duty. 

The period between the alert and the reporting date was used 

for updating 201 Personnel Files and, in general, getting all in 

readiness for transfer to active Army status. 

The Department of the Army announced that some Army 

National Guard units would deploy to Southeast Asia. 

At the mobilization stations, the former Guardsmen underwent 

extensive training to prepare for eventual assignment to the combat 

zone should they be deployed there. 

Typical of the high spirit, one unit requested that it be deployed, 

intact, to Southeast Asia.

The Office of Military Support of Civil Defense began Fiscal 

Year 1968 little realizing the changes and additional responsibilities 

which would occur during the next several months. Before the 

end of July, the Detroit civil disturbance exploded on the nation 

requiring 10,399 active duty Guardsmen and 5,547 active Army personnel to return the city to normal operation. Immediately following 

the Detroit incident, the President established the National Advisory 

Commission on Civil Disorders, and the Department of the Army 

established within the Army Staff a Task Group to study in depth 

the after action reports of the Detroit and Newark riots. One of 

the many recommendations resulted in the Department of Army 

becoming the primary agency for responsibility for civil disturbance 

matters. In order to carry out its responsibilities, the Department 

of Army established the Domestic Emergency Branch in the Army 

Operations Center (AOC). 

Accordingly, the National Guard Bureau, (NGB), Office of Military Support of Civil Defense was changed to the Office of Military 

Support to Civil Authorities (NG-MSCA) to support the States for 

civil defense, civil disturbances, natural disasters and major disasters and major disaster emergencies. This resulted in the assignment of an active Army officer and an Air National Guard officer to 

coordinate Department of Army policy relative to National Guard 

and civil authority requirements. 

In August 1967, the NGB implemented a priority program to accomplish by 1 October 1967, the 32 hour Control of Civil Disturbance 

Training outlined in Army Subject Schedule 19-6IT), dated 7 August 

1967. Approximately 403,000 Army National Guard (ARNG) and 26,000 

Air National Guard (ANG) received the 32 hours of training. 

Directives published during the year to enhance the National 

Guard's capability in queuing civil disturbances are: 

1. Training Circular 19-3, "Control of Civil Disturbances," 

15 January 1968, distributed to ARNG units. 

2. Revised Field Manual 19-15, "Civil Disturbances and Disasters," 31 March 1968, distributed, superseding TC 19-3. 
14 

Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

3. NGB letter, subject: "Evaluation of Army Preparedness 

in Civil Disturbances," dated 1 March 1968 in which Continental 

Army Command (CONARC) issued guidance for eight hours of additional riot control training for certain units and four hours for other 

units. This guidance constituted a change in ARNG training priorities for all Continental United States (CONUS) ARNG combat and 

combat support units and established policy for command post 

exercises and field training exercises. 

4. NGB letter, subject: "Control of Civil Disturbances," 6 

February 1958, informed the States that CONUS Armies were scheduling inspections of certain units to evaluate capabilities of controlling civil disturbances. 

5. NGB message, subject: "Civil Disturbance Senior Officer 

Orientation Course," 16 January 1968, informed the States that selected officers could attend a special Civil Disturbance Orientation 

Course. As of 30 June 1968, 440 National Guard Senior Officers had 

completed this course. 

6. NGB message, subject: "Leadership Training for ARNG 

Junior Officers," 5 March 1968, established civil disturbance training 

fcr junior officers. By 31 May 1958, 9,000 National Guard junior 

officers had completed this course. 

7. NGB letter, subject: "Planning and Training for Civil Disturbance Operations," 13 February 1968. The Department of Army 

Civil Disturbance Plan was forwarded to all States, encouraging 

joint planning and training; noting the Kerner Commission's recommendation on Duty Officers and Alert Forces; requesting copies of 

State level civil disturbance plans, and stating that CONUS Armies 

were preparing planning packets for likely trouble cities. 

8. NGB letter, subject: "Requests for Assistance from Civil 

Authorities and the National Guard in connection with Civil Disorders and Disturbances," 2 April 1968, informed the States of 

special equipment available for loan to the Guard, and how the 

States could obtain this equipment. Department of Army message, 

29 March 1968, supplied detailed guidance on providing assistance 

to civil authorities. 

9. A series of letters on allocation and distribution of various riot control items was published and distributed to the States. 

10. NGB revised NGR 40 to permit Army advisors to accompany their units in civil disturbance operations when directed by 

the CONUS Commander and with the concurrence of the Governor. 

11. Change 1, dated 15 February 1968, to NGR 15-1/ANGR 

23-01 assigned State Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 

responsibility for planning for civil disturbance emergencies. 

12. The Chief of Staff, Army established a policy whereby 

Logistics Liaison Teams may be made available upon request to 

assist and advise State adjutants general in State status, in logistical matters during civil disturbances. These teams can further request Customer Assistance Teams from the Army Material Command. 

13. AR 27-1, 19 January 1968 included provisions for the 

Department of Army to provide legal aid to National Guardsmen in 

suits resulting from performance of duties while in Federal status. 

14. Department of Army published and distributed DA 

Pamphlet 130-3, "Your Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities When 

Called to Active Federal Service," to each Army and Air National 

Guardsman. 

15. NGB letter, subject: "Rights and Privileges of Individual 

Guardsmen and PX Services and Entertainment," 8 November 1967, 

gave references to regulations on services directly relating to 

morale, appearance and espirt de corps in an individual's performance of duty. 

In order to determine the effectiveness of State civil disturbance planning, the Chief of Staff, Army, directed the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau to review the Civil Disturbance Plans of the 40 States 

having potential civil disturbance cities. Thirty-eight State Civil 

Disturbance Plans were reviewed between 1 February 1968 and 1 May 

1968, and found workable and adequate. 

The adequacy of the priority training and advance planning 

programs was substantiated by the exemplary manner in which the 

civil disturbance crises associated with the assassination of Reverend Martin Luther King were handled. 

Civil disturbance events following the assassination indicated 

the need to intensify civil disturbance planning in order to be even 

better prepared to handle multiple, concurrent emergencies of civil 

disorder. The Secretary of Defense approved the formation of a 

steering group to monitor progress in dealing with this matter. 

The Department of Army, as the Executive Agency of Department of 

Defense for civil disturbance matters, was tasked with the responsibility of establishing a Directorate for Civil Disturbance Planning 

and Operations (DCDPO). The Directorate was established and 

functioning by 22 April 1968 with the command center to be operational by 1 July 1968. Permanent NGB representation in the Directorate is provided by an officer from the Office of Military Support 

to Civil Authorities. 

The Department of the Army placed more emphasis on the 

National Guard's training for internal disturbances during the past 

year than ever before. The concern and importance was such that 

General Harold K. Johnson, Chief of Staff, U.S. Army, discussed this 

matter with all State adjutants general in Washington, D. C. on 

26 January 1968. 

The status of the National Guard in preparing for possible 

civil disturbances was extensive. Briefly outlined herein is the planning and training that has been and is being accomplished, as well 

as equipment that is available and will be available within the 

near future, and an analysis of the National Guard's preparedness 

and problems which could hinder or impair the Guard's efficiency 

in meeting civil disturbances wherever they occur. 

PLANNING 

State Military Domestic Emergency Plan 

Each State has developed a State Civil Disturbance Plan. These 

plans provide the basis for the development of all unit plans in 

the State, and they contain procedures for requesting National 

Guard assistance by civil authorities, policies, and instructions on 

employment of weapons and chemicals in civil disturbances as 

agreed to in conferences-with State authorities. Copies of the 

State plan have been distributed to units in the State with instructions that it be used for continuous reference to increase each 

individual's capability for precise and automatic response in time 

of emergencies. 
16 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

Organization for Employment TRAINING 

To expedite command and control of National Guard units, the 

States have been geographically sub-divided into sectors. These 

sectors, for the most part, coincide with State police districts. 

Usually each sector has a brigade or battalion-size headquarters 

designated as the sector command headquarters with the mission 

of coordinating and developing plans in conjunction with civil 

authorities and the State police for their respective area. Should 

more than one battalion-size force be required, a brigade-size task 

force command, which is assigned several battalions, would be 

employed. 

Alert Procedures 

Rapid response to requests for assistance when it is initially 

required is a strong deterrent to further growth of a disturbance. 

All units have developed an alert system which will provide rapid 

response to any call-up of the Guard. A Staff Duty Office is 

maintained in each State during non-duty hours. 

Alert Schedule 

Past experience has indicated that civil disturbances occur 

frequently during the summer months when units are attending 

their fifteen-day annual field training (AFT). Because of this, States 

have scheduled their units' annual field training in increments. This 

will leave an adequate force available within the State for possible 

employment at any one time during the summer. Selected units are 

placed on a stand-by alert which permits a prompt response for a 

civil disturbance emergency. In addition to rotating alert units, 

plans provide for prompt and efficient return of troops from AFT. 

Recently authority was granted to assemble National Guard units 

and conduct training.on short notice when intelligence reports indicate a high probability that National Guard units will be committed 

to a civil disturbance mission. This permits more flexibility and 

faster response. 

Coordination and Liaison 

States have devoted much time and effort in the coordination 

of plans with civil agencies. Mayors, chief of law enforcement departments and State police have been contacted and conferences 

held in order that all concerned would know the procedures to be 

employed in requesting assistance, chain of command, control, and 

areas of responsibility in the event of employment. 

All units of the Army National Guard have been and are presently undergoing civil disturbance training in accordance with Department of Army directives. Refresher training will be conducted 

as necessary to maintain a high degree of proficiency. Civil disturbance training is programmed into four categories, and one or 

more are being accomplished concurrently. 

Individual and Unit Training 

During the period 1 August through 1 October 1967, all personnel of the Army National Guard were required to complete 32 

hours of individual and unit training in civil disturbance. All 

personnel of the Army National Guard successfully completed 

this training prior to 1 October 1967. Refresher training, a minimum 

of four hours for those units near low priority cities and eight 

hours for those near high priority cities, was completed prior to 

1 May 1968. Units were authorized to use up to 44 hours of AFT 

for refresher civil disturbance training. Refresher civil disturbance 

training was authorized to be accomplished by the ANG units 

within their existing 48 programmed training assemblies. 

Special Schools 

Senior Officer Civil Disturbance School, Fort Gordon, Georgia. 

Selected Senior Officers responsible for development and the supervision of civil disturbance planning are being sent to Fort Gordon, 

Georgia, to participate in a five-day civil disturbance school conducted by the U.S. Army Military Police School. This course orients 

students on the lessons learned from previous riots and presents 

the latest concepts and methods for prevention and/or control of 

riots. Civilian State and local law enforcement officers are also 

authorized to attend this course. 

Leadership Training for ARNG Junior Officers, Fort Benning, 

Georgia. A selected individual from each State was sent to Fort 

Benning, Georgia, to attend a U.S. Army special training program 

designed to distribute and outline pertinent literature for a training 

program to be used in the States to qualify junior officers to 

competently handle civil disturbance situations. 

The representative sent to Fort Benning, Georgia, upon his 

return, organized and supervised a four-day school for second and 

first lieutenants. The objectives of the school were to prepare Army 

National Guard lieutenants for leadership responsibilities associated with actions to help quell a civil disturbance, and complement training previously received and instill into the lieutenants 

confidence in their ability to lead a platoon for a civil disturbance 

control mission. 

Command Post Exercises. All major unit commanders and their 

staffs are encouraged to conduct command post exercises. These 

exercises are conducted simulating cities where a potential civil 

disturbance might occur. The purposes of these exercises are: 

to train commanding officers and staffs in assistance of civil authorities in civil disturbance procedures, to evaluate the adequacy 

and validity of State and city civil disturbance plans and procedures, and to revise existing plans and procedures as necessary. 

U.S. Army Inspections and Visits. CONUS Army Headquarters 

staff officers periodically visit States to coordinate civil disturbance 

planning for anticipated active Army support required. 
Chief, National Guard Bureau

EQUIPMENT 

With the addition of specialized items of equipment to the 

TD of State Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment for use 

throughout the State, and allocation of special items of equipment 

in excess of normal TOE authorizations, the National Guard is 

now well equipped to perform civil disturbance missions. 

Many States have stockpiled and prepositioned such items as 

chemical dispersers, munitions, radios, shotguns, and transportation for use throughout the State. The Department of Army, to 

alleviate shortages of authorized equipment, has prepositioned for 

loan to the National Guard upon request from the State during 

a civil disturbance, emergency radios, searchlights, bullhorns, protective masks, and riot control agent dispersers and their ancillary 

equipment. 

Munitions 

Small arms ammunition of adequate quantities are on hand in 

the States for civil disturbances. Tables of Allowance have been 

revised to provide increased quantities of chemical munitions for 

National Guard units. In addition, chemical munitions have been 

prepositioned by Department of Army for rapid delivery during 

civil disturbances. Of particular significance was the distribution 

of chemical projectiles for the new M-79 grenade launcher.

PREPAREDNESS 

After a careful review, an analysis of the National Guard's 

preparedness for employment in a civil disturbance mission in 

Fiscal Year 1968 indicated that: 

Training in tactics and procedures by personnel was at an 

all time high and required only periodic refresher training to maintain the present level of training. 

Command post exercises revealed that local civil authorities 

were interested and cooperative and were planning for civil disturbances; however, in many instances, they were indoctrinated in 

handling isolated incidents and were not prepared for large scale 

disorders. The low-keyed planning exhibited by many cities in the 

past has improved considerably since military-civilian command 

post exercises have been initiated. 

Sufficient equipment is currently available, or can be made 

available, within a reasonable period of time. Distribution of equipment, such as vehicles and radios, posed some problems and has 

demanded continuous contingency planning for lateral shifting of 

essential items between units. 

The National Guard of all States is capable of restoring and 

controlling law and order during a civil disturbance occurring 

within each State; and, if the need occurs, the contingency planning provides for employment of forces in two or more cities 

simultaneously. It was not anticipated that a requirement for 

Federal troops would arise unless a large scale civil disturbance 

should occur in two or three cities within a State at a time. Should 

the need arise for the Governor to request the President for Federal 

assistance, the procedures have been simplified for the transition 

of the National Guard personnel to active Federal service, and the 

employment with U.S. Army troops can be accomplished without 

delay or undue confusion. 

A problem area which could influence or deter the National 

Guard from performing a civil disturbance mission is as follows: 

The ever present possibility of Federal mobilization of selected and/or all units of a State could seriously affect the capability of the National Guard of a particular State to assist local 

authorities in restoring law and order. If a State were to lose a 

battalion or larger force, the reaction capability would change not 

only because of the number of troops lost, but also because valuable 

equipment would accompany the troops to their mobilization 

stations. 

During FY 1968, the National Guard was called to State active 

duty and was either committed or held in an alert status for 

possible commitment for civil disturbances 77 times in 29 States 

and the District of Columbia. A listing of the utilization of the 

National Guard during FY 1968 is shown in Appendix N. 

During the violence that took place in April following the 

assassination of Negro leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, the Governors of two States, Illinois and Maryland, and the Mayor of the 

District of Columbia, requested and received Federal troop support to quell civil disturbances in Chicago, Baltimore, and the 

District of Columbia. The National Guard of these States and 

the District of Columbia were called to Federal service. 

The following chart shows the National Guard in State and 

Federal status during the past five years. A large number of 

Guardsmen called to Federal service in FY 1964 occurred when 

the entire Mississippi and Alabama Guard was called for the 

integration of schools in those States. The Civil Rights march 

from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, resulted in the Federal 

use of the majority of Guardsmen during FY 1965. The Watts race 

riot in Los Angeles, California, brought the call up of 13,393 

National Guard personnel which made up the major portion of 

Guardsmen on State status for FY 1966. In FY 1967, civil disturbance in several areas of the country—Chicago (4,300), and Cicero 

(2,850), Illinois; Cleveland (2,000), Ohio; and San Francisco (3,118), 

California—resulted in the use of National Guardsmen in State 

status. 

During FY 1968, 104,665 National Guardsmen were employed to 

quell civil disturbances throughout the United States with 25,064 

of these Guardsmen being further called to active Federal service 

for Detroit, Washington, D. C, Chicago, and Baltimore.

MISSION OF THE NATIONAL 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 authors of the Constitution 

recognized the importance of the concept by empowering the Congress to "provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the 

militia." National military policy subsequently enacted into law 

has served to enhance the availability and improve the readiness 

of the National Guard as a Federal reserve force. The general policy 

stated in current law (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 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 sufficient and suitable 

equipment, capable and ready for mobilization in time of war or 

national emergency to support the Army and Air Force. 
20 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

ORGANIZATION The Air National Guard 

The Army National Guard 

The Army National Guard provides forces that are an integral 

part of the Nation's first-line defenses. 

The chart below illustrates the role of the Army National Guard 

in the Army mission: 

The worldwide overseas commitments of the Army in Europe, 

Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and in Korea, listed at the extreme 

right, represent large overseas garrisons and fighting forces already 

in place and major treaty commitments. All must be supported by 

forces available for rapid deployment from the United States. 

The center panel portrays Army forces in the Continental United 

States. These include Air Defense Missile units, the Strategic 

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

The Army National Guard shares in the first-line combat mission 

of US Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM) by providing full 

time Army National Guard Nike Hercules missile batteries in the 

defense of key industrial and population areas. 

Two Army National Guard infantry divisions, three Army National Guard separate infantry brigades, and one Army National 

Guard armored cavalry regiment of the Selected Reserve Force 

today constitute a major part of the Strategic Army Force available 

for deployment. 

Four additional infantry divisions, two armored divisions, and 

15 separate brigades are available as follow-on support for the 

Selected Reserve Force. 

The Air National Guard supports US Air Force missions as 

shown on the chart above. 

Air Force worldwide commitments such as those to NATO and 

the free nations of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Far 

East are shown at the right. 

The gaining commands to which Air National Guard units are 

assigned upon mobilization are also shown. These include the 

Tactical Air Command (TAC), Aerospace Defense Command (ADC), 

Military Airlift Command (MAC), 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 tne Pacific Air Force (PACAF) and one Air Guard 

communications unit is committed to the Air University at Maxwell 

AFB, Alabama. 

In this Fiscal Year, many Air Guard units served without mobilization, as integral functioning parts of active Air Force commands. 

Airlift units flew 2,469missions worldwide, including 268 in support of Southeast Asia, as a functional part of the Military Airlift 

Command. All ANG fighter-interceptor squadrons assigned to the 

Aerospace Defense Command maintain a 24-hour runway alert at 

all times under control of North American Air Defense Command. 

Air National Guard Tactical squadrons today form the principal 

worldwide strategic reserve of the Tactical Air Command. 

Air Guard Ground Electronics Engineering Installation Agency 

(GEEIA) squadrons perform communications construction projects 

on US Air Force 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 advisor 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). 

The function of the National Guard Bureau is to formulate and 

administer a program for the development and maintenance of 

Army and Air National Guard units in the several States, the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, in 

accordance with Departments of Army and Air Force policy. 

The organization of the National Guard Bureau is shown on the 

chart. The office of the Assistant Chief, NGB, Army, is organized 

into five divisions; the office of the Assistant Chief, NGB, Air, is 

organized into six divisions. The Office of the Legal Adviser; Office 

of Plans, Policy, and Programs; Office of Military Support to Civil 

Authorities; Office of Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights; Public 

Affairs Officer; and the Special Assistant for Data Systems advise 

and assist the Chief on both Army and Air matters. 

The Chief of the National Guard Bureau is appointed by the 

President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, from a list 

of National Guard officers recommended by the respective Governors, for a term of four-years and is eligible to succeed himself. 

The grade authorized for this position is major general. 

The former Chiefs of the National Guard Bureau and its 

predecessor organizations (Division of Militia Affairs, 1908-1915, and 

Militia Bureau, 1916-1933) are listed in Appendix A. Appendices 

B and C list the State Adjutants General and United States Property

PUBLIC AFFAIRS 

The major operations of the Office of Public Affairs in Fiscal 

Year 1968 were in connection with civil disorders, recruitment of 

Negroes, and in the partial mobilization of the Army and the 

Air Guard. 
22 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

The size and seriousness of the civil disorders that developed 

in Newark and in Detroit in July and August resulted in extensive 

planning for the public information operation in future incidents. 

This was conducted as part of the overall staff planning, concurrently with the troop training for civil disorder control. 

In April, a model plan for handling public information in civil 

disorders was prepared by the public affairs officer and distributed 

to the States. Additionally, the public affairs officer, or his representative, accompanied the Chief, National Guard Bureau, or the 

Deputy Chief, National Guard Bureau, on staff visits to the States 

for consultation with the adjutants general and their staffs on 

civil disorder control planning. The public affairs officer also 

emphasized the need for a Public Information Team, headed by 

a senior officer, and composed of qualified personnel from both 

the Army and Air National Guard, to be prepared to go into 

operation on any outbreak of civil disorder or other emergency. 

A pilot program on Negro recruitment, authorized for the State 

of New Jersey, was supported by the Bureau public affairs officer. 

This support consisted of radio announcements, and newspaper 

advertisements in Negro media, and posters and pamphlets distributed in the Negro communities. The advertising emphasized 

that there were openings for Negroes in the New Jersey Guard. 

On Negro recruiting, generally, the question arose as to the 

number of potential recruits in the Negro community, and as to the 

aspects of Guard service that appealed to them. To answer these 

essential questions, a survey of the attitudes and opinions of 

Negro youth of military age was conducted by an opinion analysis 

firm, commissioned through the Public Affairs Office. The results, 

showing potential recruitment areas in the Negro community, were 

made available to the Department of Defense, the Armed Services, 

and the public. This was the first such survey ever made on this 

subject. 

As the year ended, the Public Affairs Office had underway the 

filming of a new documentary of Army and Air Guard Operations 

in FY 1968 as a follow-on to "The Men . . . and the Minute" of 

FY 1966, and "When the Chips Are Down," of FY 1967. The new film 

was to include operation of the Army and Air Guard units in 

Vietnam. 

As in the past, the appropriation of $450,000 to support the 

public affairs program was contracted to a commercial advertising 

agency for the development and production of materials to enhance 

the image of the Guard, to secure the support of families and 

employers of Guardsmen in meeting the training demands on their 

time, and to promote re-enlistment. 

A new recorded radio program, "Guard Scene," presenting top 

contemporary artists with the Guard message, was produced. This 

program was well received with approximately 450 stations requesting it each month. Artists included: The Beatles, Glen Campbell, 

Petula Clark, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Sinatra, The Association, and 

The Fifth Dimension. 

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

show distributed to stations for public service programming continued to be sent on a monthly basis to approximately 2,400 stations. 

Top names in show business were again on the program hosted 

by Skitch Henderson. Guests included Ed Ames, Tony Bennett, 

Al Hirt, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, Vikki Carr, Ella Fitzgerald 

and Si Zentner. 

The third in a series of National Guard radio programs, "Lombardoland, USA," was continued for the 17th consecutive year for 

stations affiliated with the Mutual Broadcasting System. 

Two special recordings of Christmas songs were produced for 

"Guard Session" and "Guard Scene." Featured this year on "Guard 

Session" were Ella Fitzgerald, Anita Bryant, Eydie Gorme, the 

Norman Luboff Choir and the Percy Faith Orchestra. "Guard Scene" 

artists included Brenda Lee, Johnny Mathis, The Platters, Frank 

Sinatra, The Supremes, and the Beach Boys. 

The television spot "Pledge of Allegiance," produced in FY 1967, 

won two national awards in FY 1968: one from the American Heritage 

Foundation and one from the Freedoms Foundation. Four new 

television spots were produced in FY 1968 with William Holden, 

Bob Crane, Cliff Robertson, and Phyllis Diller presenting the 

Guard message as a public service. 

The use of National Guard public service material by radio 

and television media was again endorsed by the National Advertising Council. The action to secure this endorsement was initiated 

by the National Guard Bureau and covered all of the Reserve 

components. It resulted in the use of National Guard material by 

both radio and television networks to a greater degree than in 

the past. 

The Public Affairs Office exhibit, showing the scope of Army 

and Air National Guard operations, was displayed on nine occasions 

to audiences totaling over 100,000. 

The third annual photography contest was co-sponsored by the 

National Guard Bureau and the National Guard Association. Winners 

were announced at the Association convention in Washington. 

The "Ballad of the National Guard" (the Guard Creed set to 

music) was presented on the Lawrence Welk TV show during 

Armed Forces week. 

The Office of Public Affairs again prepared news releases, fact 

sheets, speeches, periodicals, yearbook and encyclopedia articles, 

and other materials for publication which were coordinated through 

the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and Department of the Air Force.

governed by National Guard Regulations and Air National Guard 

Regulations. These regulations announce the approved policies 

of the Departments of the Army and 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 1968, 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. 

The Army National Guard Fiscal Year 1968 program for Department of Defense and Department of the Army publications and 

blank forms was initially established at $987,000. Adjustments during 

the year resulted in a final program of $961,000. 

Actual obligations for this Fiscal Year total $906,534, as 

compared to $962,215 obligated during FY 1967. This reduction in 

obligations was attributed to the continuing efforts for achieving 

efficient distribution of publications and blank forms, the elimination of stockpiling and misuse of publications and blank forms, 

fhe maximum use of resources at all levels of command, and the 

decrease in active Army publications applicable to the ARNG. 

The placement of all battalion and separate company/battery 

size units on pinpoint distribution continued to be one of the 

primary objectives. Only the lack of funds available to The Adjutant General, Department of the Army, precluded the placement 

of all units on pinpoint distribution during this Fiscal Year. The 

designation of new SRF units in the reorganization of the Army 

National Guard did, however, bring the total number of pinpoint 

accounts up to 753, as compared to 502 in FY 1967. 

Although the reorganization of the National Guard and Reserve 

resulted in a reduction in the number of Army National Guard units, 

publication and blank form requirements should increase during 

FY 1969. All Army National Guard units are now members of the 

Immediate Reserve which requires the units to procure and stock 

applicable publications and blank forms as prescribed in AR 135-300, 

and requires the units to achieve a high readiness posture causing 

an increase in training and maintenance literature requirements. 

YOUTH OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM 

During the summer months of 1967, the Army and Air National 

Guard provided outstanding support of the youth programs sponsored by the President's Council on Youth Opportunity. Reports 

from the several States indicated the support of various youth 

programs in some 37 States involved upwards of 70,000 youths. The 

support provided was varied and included the use of armories for 

youth dances, craft classes and displays, and athletic events. State 

owned camps and Air National Guard bases were also utilized to 

provide day encampments, swimming and organized athletics, open 

house tours and demonstrations, military parades, and equipment 

demonstrations. 

A number of States initiated programs to provide year 'round 

support by permitting use of National Guard armories, where no 

conflict existed with military training, by sponsored youth groups 

for organized athletic and recreational activities. The National 

Guard Bureau endorses the goals of the President's Council on 

Youth Opportunity and strongly encourages State National Guard 

participation in the activities. 

STATE SERVICE 

Large numbers of Army and Air National Guardsmen were called 

on by the States to perform a variety of duties during the year. 

Many volunteer and mercy missions were performed by National 

Guardsmen. Some examples of these missions are described below. 

Wyoming Guardsmen worked for three days to rescue victims 

of a Spring blizzard. The April 2 storm, which followed days of 

80-degree weather, paralyzed Wyoming with up to 12 inches of 

snow and eight-foot drifts. Helicopter and light aircraft conducted 

an around-the-clock hunt; ground crews dug out hundreds of 

stranded motorists and ranchers. 

More than 500 volunteer Idaho Guardsmen and 200 pieces of 

Guard equipment were used to battle major forest fires in Northern 

Idaho. The Guardsmen operated mess facilities for feeding the 
24 

6,000 fire fighters, provided refueling units, aid stations, mechanics, 

cargo trucks, an aircraft control tower, and several communications 

vehicles. 

For three days, 160 Indiana National Guardsmen aided Richmond authorities after an explosion and resulting fire. The Guardsmen cordoned-off the damaged area and helped search for survivors, 

helped clear debris, control traffic, and protect business from possible looters. The explosion left 39 dead and many injured; damage 

estimates were reported in excess of $50 million. 

Texas Guardsmen provided a radio network between State 

officials and 1,200 Guardsmen during the storms and floods following Hurricane "Beulah." Guardsmen rendered aid in evacuation, 

rescue, security, and transportation operations. The Air Guard, 

which called 145 men to active duty, air lifted 324 doctors, nurses, 

and civil officials, transported emergency supplies, and made hay 

drops to stranded cattle. 

For the second time in three years, the Alaska Air Guard was 

mobilized after heavy flooding in widespread areas of Alaska. The 

Air Guardsmen set up an air evacuation center which was manned 

24 hours a day. More than 300 Army Guardsmen served around-theclock for more than a week helping evacuate victims, dropping and 

trucking needed supplies into disaster areas and giving medical 

care. 

A total of 50,000 pounds of food, clothing, and medical supplies 

were air lifted into Venezuela after an earthquake. Puerto Rico 

Guardsmen from the 156th Tactical Fighter Group flew four mercy 

missions for the Venezuelan earthquake victims. 

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND 

CIVIL RIGHTS 

The Office of Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights continued to 

place emphasis on Compliance Field Reviews as required by 

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As of 30 June 1968, On-Site 

Compliance Field Reviews had been completed in 39 States, including Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, and the District of Columbia. 

The remaining States were scheduled for a review the first half 

of Fiscal Year 1969. 

Compliance with NGR 24/ANGR 30-12 was a subject of inspection by the Inspectors General of the Army and Air Force during 

the Annual General Inspections of the National Guard. These 

inspection reports were forwarded to the National Guard Bureau 

for review and provided an effective surveillance and monitoring 

system of Guard units. No incidents of discrimination were 

reported by Inspectors General during the year. 

The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, in a 

letter to the President dated 10 August 1967, cited the need for 

an immediate increase in the participation of Negroes in the Army 

National Guard. The State of New Jersey, on its own initiative, 

requested the authorization of a 500-space overstrength for the 

purpose of enlisting Negroes in the New Jersey National Guard. 

A total of 865 spaces, a five percent overage, were authorized as 

overstrength, with the Air Guard being allocated 128 spaces and 

the Army Guard an allocation of 737 spaces. To support this 

recruiting effort, the National Guard Bureau assisted the State of 

New Jersey in a publicity campaign oriented to the Negro youth. 

A separate waiting list was established for Negro personnel to be 

enlisted against the authorized overstrength. Individuals had to 

meet the prescribed minimum enlistment criteria. The Office of 

Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights monitored and supervised the 

program. Weekly progress reports were submitted. The special program terminated on 30 June 1968 with the Army National Guard 

enlisting 639 against their quota of 737 for 86.7 percent. The Air 

National Guard enlisted 128 against their quota of 128 for 100 

percent. 

As a result of the Williams Board Study concerning the participation of Negroes in the Reserve Components, in December, the 

Chief of the Office of Reserve Components requested representation 

from the National Guard Bureau on a Task Group charged with the 

Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

responsibility of developing a national program for increasing Negro 

participation in the Reserve Components. A member of the Office of 

Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights was assigned this duty, and in 

March 1968, a plan developed within the guidelines recommended 

by the Williams Board was forwarded to the Secretary of Defense. 

No further action had been taken by the Department of Defense 

as of 30 June 1968. 

In May 1968, the Air National Guard developed and forwarded 

to the Department of Defense a national plan for increasing Negro 

participation in the Air Guard. This plan was patterned along the 

same lines as the plan submitted by the Army Guard using the 

Williams Board Study recommendations as guidance. 

During the year, the Office of Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights 

represented the Cnief, National Guard Bureau, at each of the five 

Army Area Conferences and took an active part in each of the 

programs. In addition, the office took part in the Air Guard 

Commander's Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. 

The Office of Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights responded to 

25 allegations of discriminatory practices in which the National 

Guard was involved. Investigations were made on each allegation 

and recommendations were made in response to each allegation 

and forwarded to the Chief. National Guard Bureau for disposition. 

Investigation showed that no violation of the law had occurred. 

In addition, the office developed comprehensive data concerning minority group participation in the National Guard. This 

information was constantly upgraded and made readily available to 

other agencies within the Department of Defense.

MILITARY SUPPORT TO CIVIL 

AUTHORITIES 

Civil Defense 

The office of Civil Defense again requested National Guard 

assistance to universities conducting emergency operations simulation exercises by providing and operating communications equipment. There were 174 exercises scheduled in 47 States. Reports 

on this assistance furnished by the States were highly complimentary about the willing cooperation, and demonstrated skill and 

proficiency of the personnel. This assistance has been requested 

for the coming year. 

Continental Air Command, through their Headquarters Air Force 

Reserve Regions assigned Air Force Ready Reserve liaison officers 

to all CONUS National Guard State headquarters. All comments 

indicated these officers were of the highest caliber, and were a 

tremendous asset to the State headquarters. Navy and Coast Guard 

Ready Reserve officers were assigned in the same status in some 

States. 

National Guard Bureau letter dated 6 September 1967 provided 

each State with a copy of Department of Army letter, subject: 

"Use of Ready Reserve Mobilization Reinforcement Pool Personnel 

in Support of Civil Defense Program." Specifically, the letter called 

to the States' attention authorization for the formation of Reserve 

Training Units for State headquarters. 

States have taken advantage of the additional FY 1968 funds 

to continue purchasing single side band radios. The purchase of 

these radios will continue through FY 1969. 

A National Civil Defense exercise (CDEX-67) was conducted 

during the period 24 October-1 November ,1967, and, with few 

exceptions, every State participated. The Disaster Preparedness 

program conducted by units of the Air National Guard was similar 

in nature to the National Civil Defense exercise. 

DATA SYSTEMS 

During Fiscal Year 1968, approval was obtained by the Department of the Army to replace punched card machinery in eight 

States. Installation is expected to take place early in FY 1970 after 

programs are written for the new equipment. 

Systems design and procedures were completed on a new personnel system. Upon conclusion of a test now being conducted by 

the State of Florida, the system may be implemented. 

Thirty technician spaces were allocated to the National Guard 

Computer Center (NGCC) to determine computer workload requirements of the NGB, the States, and ANG bases. Upon completion of 

this work, a system of regional computers and communication networks will be devised to replace the present National Guard data 

processing system. 

The NGCC's card computer was changed by the addition of 

four magnetic tape drives, and the size of the internal memory was 

doubled. Approval was received to add four more tape drives and 

to again double the internal memory storage. 

Th

e Army National Guard continued to maintain its 

high degree of mobilization readiness throughout Fiscal 

Year 1968, and the Selected Reserve Force (SRF) re-

mained the most ready Reserve Component force in 

history. 

Reorganization of the Army National Guard and Re-

serve had been imminent for some time, and during FY 

1968, the Congress, Department of Defense, Department 

of Army, and the State Governors agreed upon a new 

force structure for the Army National Guard. On 1 De-

cember 1967, the reorganization of the Army National 

Guard began and was completed 1 June 1968. The 

reorganized ARNG force consists of eight Combat Di-

visions; 18 Combat Brigades; one Support Brigade; and 

233 Maneuver Battalions and miscellaneous Combat 

Support Units. With the exception of minor delays 

resulting from partial mobilization in April, the reorga-

nization progressed smoothly and as scheduled. 

The new ARNG Selected Reserve Force, composed of 

89,C00 Guardsmen in 622 company and detachment size 

units, assumed mission responsibilities on 1 May 1968. 

These units, located in 49 States and 798 communities, 

comprise the bulk of combat elements in a balanced 

three Division Force .Equivalent. Accelerated training 

began in December 1967; the objective was to be ready 

for mobilization within seven days after being alerted, 

and to enter active duty at 93 percent strength. 

Maximum effort was placed upon obtaining excellent 

support in every area so that Guardsmen and ARNG units 

could continue to maintain a high degree of mobilization 

readiness at all times. The following pages reflect the 

Army National Guard accomplishment.

28 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

COMPTROLLER 

The Congress appropriated $589,000,000 for the Army National 

Guard in Fiscal Year 1968. The funds were included in three appropriations covering military personnel, operation and maintenance 

costs (including technician pay), and the construction of armory 

and non-armory facilities.

Funding 

The FY 1968 National Guard Personnel, Army (NGP, A) appropriation (Title I, P.L. 90-96) by Congress was $345 million to support 

a beginning strength of 418,500 and an end strength of 400,000 

Guardsmen, and to provide for an input of 56,200 recruits into the 

Reserve Enlistment Program (REP-63) training. Initial apportionment reflected reduced enlistment requirements to achieve and 

maintain the programmed end strength of 400,000 which resulted in 

a reduction of REP Input to 25,900. This reduction permitted Department of Defense (DOD) to withhold $32.5 million from the appropriation for placement into the DOD Emergency Fund reducing the 

initial NGP, A funding program to $312.5 million plus $900,000 being 

provided for reimbursements. In order to provide for the military 

pay increase (P.L 90-207), a supplemental appropriation for $10,127 

million was requested. The Congress directed (P.L. 90-392) DOD to 

release $10,127 million from the funds withheld in the DOD Emergency Fund (pursuant to P.L. 90-218). Total NGP, A funding available 

in FY 1968 amounted to $323,527,000. 

The Operation and Maintenance, Army National Guard (O&M, 

ARNG) appropriation (Title II, P.L. 90-96) for FY 1968, totaled $241 

million. In addition, estimated reimbursements amounted to $3.2 

million. DOD initially withheld $3.1 million from this appropriation 

because of the ARNG technician strength freeze at 23,800 employees (from 24,220). The amount withheld by DOD was decreased 

to $1.3 million so that the ARNG could absorb the required increased 

Wage Board costs of $1.8 million. 

To provide for the civilian pay increase (P.L. 90-206), a supplemental appropriation of $3,128 million was requested; in lieu of a 

supplemental appropriation, the Congress directed (P.L. 90-392) that 

$1,828 million be derived by transfer from the amount reserved 

under National Guard Personnel, Army pursuant to P.L. 90-218 and 

release of $1.3 million O&M, ARNG funds, also, withheld pursuant 

to P.L. 90-218. The gross funding available for O&M, ARNG FY 1968 

was $246,028,000. 

The Military Construction, Army National Guard (MC, ARNG) 

appropriations are "No Year" funds. The Congress appropriated 

(P.L. 90-180) $3.0 million for MC, ARNG in FY 1968. In addition, 

prior year funds totaling $19.1 million were available to support this 

program, making a total availability in FY 1968 MC, ARNG funding of 

$22.1 million. The ARNG was released from the military construction 

freeze during the tnird quarter FY 1968.

Finance Services 

Part Eight of the Department of Defense Military Pay and 

Allowances Entitlement Manual (DODPM) which prescribes entitlement policy for pay and allowances for members of the Reserve 

Components was published during Fiscal Year 1968, effective 1 January 1968. Revised NGR 58 was processed and published to implement such policies effective 1 January 1968. The revised NGR 58 

prescribed the administrative procedures relative to Federal pay 

and allowances and travel authorized members of the Army National 

Guard, continuation of pay and allowances for injury or disease, 

and procedures for the preparation and disposition of payrolls, 

vouchers and claims. 

NGR 58 required that incapacitation payrolls covering continuation of active duty pay and allowances to Army National Guard members for injury or disease incurred in line of duty would be submitted to the National Guard Bureau for review and approval when 

the prescribed medical certificate was not signed by a uniformed 

service medical officer. A total of 273 such payrolls were reviewed 

and processed during FY 1968. y ~ 

Accounting and Reporting 

A continuing review and analysis of fiscal accounting and reporting procedures was conducted during FY 1968. As a result, 

various procedures for improving the method of accounting and 

reporting under the Army National Guard decentralized accounting 

system were developed and published for distribution to all States, 

the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. A total of 45 serially 

numbered letters of technical Finance and Accounting Instructions 

were issued to the fiscal stations who report financial data monthly 

to the National Guard Bureau. A complete revision of the fiscal 

accounting and reporting regulations was also accomplished by the 

publication of NGB Pamphlet 50-1 on 20 March 1968. 

A uniform system of preparing monthly financial reports under 

mechanized procedures by the 52 reporting activities of the Army 

National Guard was fully implemented during FY 1968. The system 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 29 

was designed and developed to provide the National Guard Bureau 

with a uniform and accurate report of financial data needed for the 

proper management of resources. Copies of the consolidated financial transactions for all States by fiscal account were being furnished by machine listing. 

Audit and Reports of Survey 

The United States Army Audit Agency completed and submitted seven audit reports pertaining to Army National Guard 

activities in the various States during FY 1968. These audit reports 

included the status and conditions of Federal funds and property 

accounts maintained by the United States Property and Fiscal 

Officers 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 staff management and internal 

control procedures. 

In addition to seven completed audits, the United States Army 

Audit Agency initiated plans for conducting an audit of elements 

of the United States Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM) including ARNG Air Defense units. A review of the readiness posture 

of ARADCOM units was the overall objective stated. The findings 

and recommendations of this audit were to be coordinated with 

the National Guard Bureau during the early part of FY 1969. 

Management Improvement 

The Army National Guard adopted new standardized logistic 

procedures for automatic data processing effective 1 October 1967. 

The standardization of these procedures provided the States a more 

efficient subsystem of producing the necessary supply accounting 

and reporting data. The new methods made it easier to develop 

and defend the logistic budget and enabled the National Guard 

Bureau to more readily determine an equitable allotment of 

resources. 

Equipment was upgraded and standardized in United States 

Property and Fiscal Offices. Improved accounting machines and 

faster sorters were furnished where equipment was justified. 

At several Army National Guard data processing installations, 

punched-card equipment was being replaced by card computers. 

Standardized systems and procedures were being developed for 

use when the computers were installed. 

National Guard Computer Center was being converted to full 

tape procedures. 

A plan was developed for a series of regional computer centers 

for both the Army and the Air National Guard. 

A proposed personnel system to institute nationwide record 

keeping and reporting compatible to active Army requirements was 

approved in principle and tested in model States. 

Revisions were made to formats pertaining to the quarterly review of State financial plans. This was done prior to conversion 

to a mechanized subsystem. 

National Guard Bureau personnel received training on scientific 

cost analysis, cost-benefit study methodology, civilian personnel 

management, and advanced comptrollership. 

A manpower-management survey of the National Guard Computer Center was finished, and recommendations for additional 

civilian space were submitted. Authority to procure 15 Army National Guard technicians was obtained. 

Although efforts to reduce reporting workload were successful, 

some new requirements were established in view of the need for 

detailed operational and logistic data. As of 30 June 1968, the number of controlled recurring reports required by the National Guard 

Bureau from the States had increased to 29, of which 16 were 

annual submissions. The number required from active Army sources, 

of which the National Guard Bureau is the proponent, decreased 

to one. 

PERSONNEL 

Military Strength 

The federally recognized strength of the active Army National 

Guard on 30 June 1968 was 389,182, a net decrease of 28,892 when 

compared with the 418,074 strength at the end of Fiscal Year 1967. 

The total number of officers and warrant officers was 31,938, and 

the number of enlisted personnel was 357,244. The average strength 

for the year was 411,419. A table showing year-end and average 

strengths from 1949-1968 is shown in Appendix G. 

The strength of the Army National Guard at the beginning of 

FY 1968 was 418,074, but the fiscal budget guidance provided only 

for a strength of 400,000. 

In November it became apparent that the strength was not 

being reduced sufficiently to be supported for the remainder of the 

Fiscal Year. Therefore, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau 

suspended the enlistment of non-prior service personnel in all 

States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. 

This control of procurement was more desirable than forced 

elimination of trained personnel. Procurement of personnel was 

limited to enlistment of prior service personnel in units below 

Priority Aggregate Strength (PAS). Although it was hoped that enlistment of non-prior service personnel could be resumed during 

February 1968, it was not possible except for special purposes such 

as the newly organized separate Airborne brigade, Selected Reserve 

Force and Air Defense units. 

In June 1967, the Secretary of Defense announced his approval 

of an Army plan for realigning the Army National Guard to significantly improve the early deployment capability and combat readiness of the United States Army Reserve Components. By 1 December 1967, the reorganization began. With exception of minor delays 

resulting from announcement of partial mobilization in April, the 

reorganization progressed smoothly as scheduled. By the end of 

April 1968, the strength had reduced to 404,915. In early May, 12,234 

were mobilized reducing the May assigned strength to 390 480 

At the end of FY 1968, the strength was 389,182. 

There were 1,616 Guardsmen in the Inactive Army National 

Guard who were attached to units for administrative and accounting 

purposes and who would be available in the event of mobilization.

The continuing freeze on the appointment of draft-liable physicians reduced the procurement of Medical Corps officers drastically 

during FY 1968. 

The 1967-68 reorganization had a significant impact on officer 

and warrant officer strength of the ARNG when the number of 

authorized spaces was reduced by 10,750. As a result, 4,963 officers 

and warrant officers were initially left as overstrength without appropriate authorized spaces. Vigorous action by the State adjutants 

general reduced this figure to 3,303 by the close of FY 1968. This 

decrease in strength is reflected in the above figures. In addition, 

the reorganization eliminated the authorized spaces for approximately 2,600 graduates of the 1968 State Officer Candidate School 

(OCS) classes. Department of the Army, however, authorized additional spaces in State Headquarters and Headquarters Detachments for all such graduates, thus permitting their appointment 

and fulfillment of the commitment made to them when they entered 

OCS. These surplus lieutenants must be absorbed within three 

years of date of reorganization. Following is a comparison of the

Personnel Actions 

Officer and warrant officer personnel actions, summarized below, 

show a decrease in Federal recognition actions and an increase in 

reassignments and separations in FY 1968 as compared to FY 1967. 

These are directly related to the magnitude of the 1967-1968 reorganization of the Army National Guard. Appointments and promotions 

are included in the Federal recognition line, and the reassignment 

line includes changes of branch for officers and changes in military 

occupational specialty for warrant officers. Each of these officer 

personnel actions was published in National Guard Bureau special 

orders in FY 1968:

Reserve Officer Personnel Act 

(Promotion Consideration) 

The following table shows the results of the Fiscal Years 1967 

and 1968 selection boards in considering officers for promotion 

under the mandatory provFsions of the Reserve Officer Personnel Act 

(ROPA). Military education and efficiency reports appear to be 

major factors in selection considerations. 

Efficiency Reports 

The efficiency reporting program was strengthened by the initiation of a new reporting form, the revision of National Guard Regulation 21, and the continuing emphasis on the importance of efficiency 

reporting by the State adjutants general. 

Enlisted Personnel 

During FY 1968, there was a total procurement of 35,476 enlisted 

personnel, and a total of 62,426 enlisted personnel losses, including

Reserve Enlistment Program 

In Fiscal Year 1968, 23,726 non-prior service personnel enlisted 

under the Reserve Enlistment Program of 1963 (REP-63). Under this 

program, the active duty for training required for all non-prior service enlistees varied from a minimum of four months to that period 

required for Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) qualification. In 

FY 1968, the average period required for MOS qualification was 

approximately five months. 

Active Duty for Training 

At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1968, 5,605 enlistees who had 

enlisted in FY 1967 were awaiting training spaces in active Army 

training centers. The 19,858 enlisted in FY 1968 planned to enter 

training within the same year, but due to action by the active 

Army to suspend input into training bases during April and May, 

and to limit the input in June, together with school deferments and 

injuries, 8,239 individuals were awaiting entry to ACDUTRA (Active 

Duty for Training) as of 30 June 1968. During FY 1968, 20,788 Army 

Guardsmen entered the active duty for training program. Since the 

beginning of this program in 1956, 733,315 Guardsmen have enlisted 

or volunteered for the program; 675,191 have actually entered training, and 639,901 have completed ACDUTRA and returned to their 

units. On 30 June 1968, 4,214 Army National Guard enlisted men 

were participating in the ACDUTRA program in Army Training 

Centers, Service Schools, and other facilities throughout the United 

States. The following chart depicts this program since its inception

Army National Guard achieved its highest passing rate in the 

November 1967 cycle since the program was initiated. The chart 

on p. 33 shows the results of the August and November 1967 

and the February 1968 cycles: 

During Fiscal Year 1968, the Army Personnel Division initiated 

a revision to the personnel reporting system. Information requirements placed on the Bureau during the past year resulted in many 

manual reports being levied on the States. The planned revised

Reorganization 

Fiscal Year 1968 encompassed the most extensive reorganization in the Army National Guard's history. 

On 2 June 1967, in Indianapolis, a reorganization plan was presented to the State adjutants general which was approved by the 

Department of Defense and had the tacit approval of the House 

Armed Services Committee, when presented in late May. Characteristics of this plan included the placement of all combat and combat 

support units in the Army National Guard, and the loss of 15 

low-priority combat divisions which had been categorized as 

Reinforcing Reserve. 

On 26 June 1967, the Senate Armed Services Committee commenced hearings on HR2 during which exception was taken to the 

reduction of US Army Reserve (USAR) strength from 260,000 to 

240,000, and to the placement of all combat and combat support 

units in the Army National Guard. 

From the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings, the Secretary of the Army developed what became known as the Three 

Brigade Plan, and provided the Army National Guard eight divisions, 

18 combat brigades, and a paid drill strength of 400,000. The ARNG 

combat and combat support elements were reduced by 45 battalions 

which were transferred to the USAR. From the USAR structure, 

four service support type brigade headquarters, six engineer construction battalions, 28 COSTAR (combat support of the Army) 

battalion equivalents, and a number of miscellaneous service support headquarters and units were acquired. The manning level was 

increased to 93 percent of full structure strength from the 90 

percent level of 2 June to compensate for about 13,000 spaces lost 

in the unit exchange. 

In addition, Force Planning changes reduced the number of 

maneuver battalions in the infantry and mechanized divisions, 

and changed the mix of maneuver battalions in these divisions and 

in the brigades. It also permitted the addition of four armor group 

headquarters to the Army National Guard Troop Basis. 

The Three Brigade Plan was presented to the State adjutants 

general on 10 August 1967. The following charts compare the then 

existing ARNG structure and the 2 June and 10 August proposals.

Reorganization, in accordance with the 10 August proposal, was 

scheduled to begin on 1 October 1967, but was delayed until 1 

December 1967 after it became apparent that additional modification 

was essential to permit sustaining the ARNG statutory strength 

floor of 400,000. It was determined that a three percent managerial 

overstrength (to 412,000) would be necessary for this purpose. The 

three percent overstrength was converted to units in order to provide units to meet State requirements. The three percent increment 

has become known as 'he State Requirement Add On, and included 

24 Emergency Operation Headquarters, eight group and 30 battalion 

headquarter units, 41 military police companies, eight light truck 

companies, and other miscellaneous units, plus augmentations 

designed to increase the operating efficiency and effectiveness of 

augmented units. 

Selected Reserve Force 

The new Army National Guard Selected Reserve Force composed 

of 89,000 Guardsmen in 622 company and detachment size units 

assumed mission responsibility on 1 May 1968. These units, located 

in 49 States and 798 communities, comprise the bulk of combat 

elements in a balanced three Division Force Equivalent. The units 

began accelerated training as early as December 1967, with the 

objective to be ready to mobilize within seven days after alert and 

to enter active duty at 93 percent strength. 

Major Army National Guard elements of the new SRF are: 

2 Infantry Divisions 

26th Infantry Division, Massachusetts 

42d Infantry Division, New York 

3 Infantry Brigades 

39th Infantry Brigade, Arkansas 

40th Infantry Brigade, California 

256th Infantry Brigade, Louisiana 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 35 

1 Armored Cavalry Regiment 

116th Armored Cavalry Regiment, Idaho 

In addition, the Army National Guard furnishes 34 separate 

battalions, 10 headquarters units, three evacuation hospitals, and 

107 company/detachment size units to the Selected Reserve Force. 

Training Objectives 

The training objectives for the Army National Guard are established by Headquarters, United States Continental Army Command 

(USCONARC), and are set forth in Annex AA to CONARC Reg. 350-1 

dated 7 September 1967. In general terms, the objectives established by USCONARC are to attain and maintain the proficiency of 

all units and individuals in the accomplishment of assigned Federal 

and State missions. 

Training for the Selected Reserve Force was amended in Fiscal 

Year 1968 by CONARC Letter of Instruction dated 15 January 1968. 

This letter provided guidance for the continuity of training of SRF I 

until relieved of its mission by SRF II on 1 May 1968 and provided 

guidance for the training of the newly designated SRF II. 

Combat Training 

The continuation of the Selected Reserve Force (SRF) continued 

to have a major impact on training of the Army National Guard 

during the past training year. The SRF, through its accelerated 

training program, attained the highest level of mobilization readiness in the long history of the National Guard. The increased training time gained from the additional unit training assemblies paid 

high dividends in pre-mobilization preparedness in the areas of administration, logistics, and training. Training programs insured that 

training levels were maintained or improved during FY 1968. 

Training for the non-SRF units continued, maintaining the 

limited level of training within the restrictions of reduced strength 

and minimum equipment. 

Inactive Duty Training 

The mandatory four-hour training assembly concept was received with a high degree of enthusiasm especially by the tactical 

units. Almost all units employed multiple-unit training assemblies 

(MUTAs) in conjunction with weekend training sites. 

The continuity and progression of training at home stations was 

hampered by the increasing frequency of civil disturbance operations. All units received 32 hours of unit instruction on riot 

control operations and staffs received an additional 16 hours in 

the Fall of 1967. USCONARC Letter dated 8 February authorized a 

deviation from normal training schedules to allow more refresher 

training in riot control operations particularly in those States having 

a higher potential for civil disturbances. 

Two levels of inactive duty training were conducted by the 

Army National Guard, one for SRF units and one for non-SRF units. 

Training of the SRF units continued to increase on the level of that 

training achieved during the first year of intensified training. Only 

those units that failed the initial Army Training Test (ATT) were 

required to conduct a retest during the past training year. Of the 

51 units that failed the first ATT, 47 were successfully retested 

during Reserve Duty Training (RDT), and the other 4 units were 

scheduled for a future date. 

Training of the SRF was hindered by some shortages of equipment such as a new family of radios, modern aircraft, and ground 

surveillance radar equipment. Lack of adequate training sites also 

caused a problem in the conduct of weekend training. As the proficiency level of the SRF units increased, the need for larger, more 

adequate training areas to accommodate the training increased. 

Many units had to travel excessive distances which placed a strain 

on equipment and personnel. 

Percentage of attendance in inactive duty training during the 

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

FY 67 FY 68 

Officer! and Warrant Officer! 97.8 98.0 

Enlisted Men 95.7 97.3 

Annual Field Training 

During Fiscal Year 1968, Annual Field Training (AFT) of 15 days 

was conducted for all units, with 356,662 Army National Guardsmen 

attending. This figure represents 98.1 percent for ARNG assigned 

personnel, including constructive attendance. 

Active Army evaluators from the responsible CONUS (Continental United States) Armies were governed by ANX AG CON Reg. 

350-1 dated 9 February 1968. The provisions of this new annex 

eliminated the previous standardized USCONARC ratings. The principal evaluation effort was devoted to tactical, technical, and 

maintenance training activities rather than administrative activities. The primary function of the evaluators was to assist Guard 

commanders in identifying strengths and weaknesses wjth the 

units. Later, these reports will serve as a basis for establishing 

future training requirements. 

Annual General Inspections 

Armory inspections, conducted by representatives of Army Area 

Commanders, generally ascertain the degree of excellence in 

achieving regulatory Equipment Maintenance and Levels, Unit 

Organization and Training, Personnel Qualification, and Records 

Management. USCONARC continued to implement the practice of 

leaving the troop participation phase to the discretion of the 

Army commanders. 

The following table shows that for the past five years almost 

all Army National Guard units received inspection ratings of 

satisfactory or above. Although not shown in the table, 76.7 percent 

of the units inspected received excellent or superior ratings in 

FY 1968.

Schools Program 

The Army National Guard Schools Program is designed to 

qualify personnel in the military assignment and, in the case of 

officers, to satisfy the military educational qualifications for 

promotion. School trained graduates are used extensively to train 

other unit personnel in the latest tactics, techniques, and doctrine. 

During the year, 7,951 officers and enlisted men attended 

courses of instruction conducted in Army Service Schools. Most 

service school courses were available to Guardsmen, the primary 

exception being initial Army Aviation Flight Training Courses. 

In FY 1968, the Commanding General USCONARC established 

one-week courses for the training of commanders and staffs at 

brigade level. About 1,000 officers participated in these new courses. 

The newly established Mobilization Advanced and Basic 

Courses were conducted during this year. These courses had a 

mandatory preliminary phase of extension courses. As a result, 

courses were off to a slow start; the momentum picked up, and 

about 200 attended the resident phase of these courses during 

the year. 

A special training program of civil disturbance planning and 

operations was developed. This was a 16-hour program. All States 

were authorized to conduct local unit schools for the training of 

commanders and staffs at battalion and higher levels. Additionally, 
36 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

the Department of Army established a one-week Civil Disturbance 

Orientation Course at the Military Police School which was attended 

jointly by National Guard, active Army, and USAR officers and 

State and local law enforcement officers. About 400 senior commanders and planners attended this course during the year. A 

third program of civil disturbance training was developed during 

the year. A mandatory program of 32 hours of leadership training 

relative to civil disturbance was developed. About 9,000 lieutenants 

took this leadership training course. 

The State Officer Candidate School Program enrolled about 

6,000 during the Summer of 1967. In view of the reorganization of 

the ARNG during the year, about 2,600 of the graduates had no TOE 

vacancy in which to be placed. Special authority was received 

from Department of Army to commission these graduates as excess 

to State Headquarters with attachment to TOE (Table of Organization and Equipment) units for appropriate branch training. 

This year evidenced a record enrollment of Army National 

Guardsmen in the Army Extension Course Program. More than 

67,000 Guardsmen were actively engaged in these home study 

courses. 

Army Aviation 

During Fiscal Year 1968, the number of ARNG aviators on 

flying status decreased from 1,765 to 1,719.* The lack of Army 

National Guard quotas for primary aviator training continued to 

restrict the ARNG's ability to replace attrition losses. The following 

chart shows aviator strengths for the past decade: 

* Includes 60 ARNG aviators mobilized 13 May 1968. There were 

1,659 aviators on the ARNG rolls 30 June 1968. 

The actual accomplishment of 188,843 aircraft flying hours was 

17,317 below the Fiscal Year Program. 

The aircraft accident rate per 100,000 hours flown was reduced 

to 9.3 percent. This was the lowest accident rate achieved by the 

ARNG over the past ten years. The following chart shows the aircraft 

accident rate for the past seven years:

The introduction of utility and medium cargo helicopters in 

the ARNG inventory has generated a requirement for enlisted crew 

chiefs and flight engineers. At the close of FY 1968, there were 

101 enlisted men on crewmember flying status and 154 on noncrewmember flying status. 

Air Defense Program 

During Fiscal Year 1968, the Army National Guard Air Defense 

Program continued at the same level of participation established in 

1964 with one Group Headquarters, 17 Battalion Headquarters, and 

54 fire units participating. The fire units in CONUS (Continental 

United States) represented 43 percent of the Nike-Hercules commitment of the US Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM), and the 

six fire units in Hawaii provided the only Nike-Hercules air defense 

for the State. 

Operational proficiency of ARNG Nike-Hercules units continued 

to show a marked improvement. Statistically, FY 1968 was by far 

the most successful year for the ARNG on-site units. Results of 

Technical Proficiency Inspections showed an improvement of 8.9 

percentage points. In Command Maintenance Management Inspections, the percentage of satisfactory ratings increased 5.9 percentage points. The average score for Short Notice Annual Practice, 

a comprehensive short notice test consisting of system preparation, 

missile assembly, pre-fire and firing tests conducted at McGregor 

Range, New Mexico, was 90.04 percent. Included in this average, 

were ratings achieved by the six fire units in Hawaii, which were 

flown to McGregor Range from Hawaii by Air National Guard airlift; 

and, for the first time tested using ARADCOM criteria, which included only 48-hour notice. 

Outstanding achievements of the year included winning both 

ARADCOM Commander's Trophies for Nike-Hercules units. Battery B, 1st Missile Battalion, 137th Artillery, Ohio ARNG, won the 

outstanding Nike-Hercules Battery in ARADCOM Trophy, and Battery A, 3d Missile Battalion, 128th Artillery, Missouri ARNG was 

runner-up. Battery B, 3d Missile Battalion, 128th Artillery, Missouri 

ARNG and Battery C, 2d Missile Battalion, 176th Artillery, Pennsylvania ARNG, shared the outstanding Nike-Hercules Firing Battery 

in SNAP Trophy by achieving perfect scores. In addition to these 

perfect performances, three other ARNG units received a mean 

percentile score of 99 or higher in SNAP. For the first time in 

CONUS Nike-Hercules history, ARNG units received perfect scores 

on two major inspections. Battery B, 3d Missile Battalion, 128th 

Artillery, Missouri ARNG, received a perfect score on a Command 

Maintenance Management Inspection, and Battery B, 1st Battalion, 

137th Artillery, Ohio ARNG, received a zero point loss and superior 

crew performance ratings in both the fire control and launcher area 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 37 

during an operational readiness evaluation. ARNG units also received nine of the 17 "E" Awards for Excellence in Combat Proficiency presented to Air Defense units.

On 30 June 1968, there were 432 officers on duty with the 52 

United States Army Advisor Groups. This represented a gain of 17 

advisors during the Fiscal Year. The authorized officer strength 

of all ARNG advisor groups is 948. The 432 officers on duty 

represented 46 percent of this figure. 

The shortage of advisors, affecting all branches of service, has 

been caused by the critical requirement for additional officers in 

Vietnam and the CONUS Army and training base build-up. Since 

January 1968, an increase in the flow of nominations has occurred 

to the extent that the number of advisor group officers on duty in 

December 1968 should approximate 474, or 50 percent of the number 

authorized. 

LOGISTICS 

Five major factors influenced Army National Guard logistics 

during Fiscal Year 1968: 

a. Reorganization of ARNG force structure and associated 

redistribution of the equipment inventory to meet new requirements. 

b. Establishment of Selected Reserve Force (SRF) II and 

concurrent retention of SRF I through the last half FY 1968. 

c. Mobilization of selected ARNG units and related support 

actions prior to unit movement to mobilization station. 

d. Equipping and training of Army National Guard units for 

civil disturbance operations. 

e. Increased emphasis on unit equipment maintenance and 

coordinated efforts toward development of an Army program for 

improving readiness of ARNG equipment. 

Selected Reserve Force (Logistic Support) 

Reorganization of the ARNG included establishment of SRF II 

and generated a priority requirement for distribution of additional 

equipment assets to those units concerned. This initial SRF support task was in addition to continuance of SRF I support through 

the last half of FY 1968. Materiel readiness status of this overall 

SRF equipment inventory was gradually raised through distribution 

of new items and increased emphasis on maintenance effectiveness. 

Although no additional funds were made available for SRF II, 

priorities were established within the annual funding program to 

meet priority needs. In this connection, emphasis was placed on 

procurement of organizational equipment and repair parts for all 

SRF units. 

Firepower 

Receipt of 487 M48A1 Tank, Combat from the depot rebuild 

program and 8,853 Launcher, Grenade M79 from new production substantially improved the ARNG equipment inventory. 53,600 Ml Rifles 

were received and distributed to fill unit shortages or in exchange 

for Carbines. 5,744 Launcher, Grenade M79 and 27 Gun, SP, M107 

were allocated to ARNG for distribution during the next Fiscal Year. 

Mobility 

ARNG received 5,081 Truck, Utility, VA Ton, M151; 154 Carrier, 

Command Post, M577; 3,028 Trailer, Cargo Vi Ton, M416; 150 Truck, 

Dump 5 Ton; 50 Recovery Vehicles, M578; and 411 Semitrailer (all 

types) during the year. This input of new or reconditioned equipment significantly improved the ARNG mobility posture, predominantly in the SRF units. With emphasis on materiel readiness and 

a shortage of funds for repair parts, ARNG ceased to accept excess 

active Army vehicles in an "as is" condition unless the vehicle was 

free of mechanical deficiency. 

Allocations for 4,108 Trailer, Cargo, IVi Ton M105A2; 511 Trucks, 

Dump 5 Ton; 2,000 Trailer, Cargo % Ton M101A1; 1,200 Truck, Cargo, 

iy 4 Ton M715; 700 Truck, Ambulance Wt Ton, M725; 380 Semitrailer, 

Tank Fuel; 356 Carrier, Cargo M548; 112 Semitrailer, Van, 12 Ton 

M129 and 44 Recovery Vehicles M578 were made for distribution to 

ARNG during Fiscal Year 1969. In addition, 3,000 Truck, Utility V* 

Ton M151 previously allocated were scheduled for distribution next 

Fiscal Year. 

Communications 

The shortages of modern communications equipment, compounded by extended communications requirements associated with 

civil disturbance operations, resulted in a major ARNG problem 

dictating priority action. Accordingly, ARNG was authorized to 

requisition certain types of old family radios in sufficient quantities 

to fill TOE (Table of Organization and Equipment) shortages. These 

substitute radios were being provided from Army rebuild stocks. 

Shipment was in progress at the end of FY 1968 to fill SRF unit 

requirements. Additional distribution to non-SRF units was scheduled as equipment became available. 

Tactical Support 

The receipt of 40 Crane Shovels; 106 Industrial Tractors; 32 

Scrapers, Towed 18 Cu Yd and 187 Generators Sets 1.5 KW substantially improved the ARNG inventory. The cranes were released 

from Army stocks to replace a similar number withdrawn from the 

National Guard in FY 1967. 

Organizational Clothing and Equipment 

Funds for organizational clothing and equipment during Fiscal 

Year 1968 were used to procure replacement items and allow for 

a modest program to fill existing shortages with priority given to 

SRF units. There continued to be a shortage of winter clothing 

items. Authorization to outfit ARNG band personnel in the blue 

uniform was published. Due to lead time required for obtaining 

materials and making uniforms, the actual procurement will be 

made in FY 1969. 

Maintenance 

Support maintenance backlog during the first half of FY 1968 

exceeded the same period in FY 1967. During the second half, 

there was a leveling off and then a reduction resulting in a 5.6 

percent decrease in backlog over the previous Fiscal Year. Decrease 
38 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

may be attributed to the general reorganization of the ARNG and 

the attendant equipment transfers within the ARNG during reorganization. Limited funding continues to place great emphasis 

on close control of the repair parts supply system to insure availability of essential items. Materiel readiness reporting through the 

Army Equipment Records System (TAERS) improved, and the error 

rate dropped to a point where a number of States achieved a 

zero error rate. Indications were that the efficiency of maintenance 

operations was greatly improved through close analysis of this 

report and the reduction of the "not operationally ready" for maintenance time. During the last quarter of FY 1968, the Department 

of the Army instituted a reconditioning program to improve the 

reliability of the Army National Guard 5 Ton vehicle fleet. Included 

in this program were 550 5 Ton Cargo Tractor and Dump Trucks. 

It was anticipated that similar programs for depot level overhaul 

of ARNG equipment would be instituted in FY 1969. 

Army Aviation Maintenance 

The operational aircraft availability rate in the Army National 

Guard remained generally high despite a serious shortage of repair 

parts and general support maintenance during the first part of the 

Fiscal Year. The continued high rate of availability during the 

period was attributed to the exceptional qualifications of the aviation maintenance technicians and supervisory personnel associated 

with the Army National Guard aviation program. These personnel, 

assigned to Army National Guard aviation and aviation maintenance 

units, represented a highly skilled cadre who could respond immediately to day-to-day or mobilization requirements. 

Additional UH-19, CH-37, and U-6 aircraft were gained during 

the year; however, these gains did not balance 0-1 aircraft losses 

to Army requirements. There was a net decrease of 30 aircraft 

leaving a total of 371 fixed wing and 428 rotary wing aircraft in the 

inventory at the end of FY 1968. 

The flying hour program decreased 17,317 hours below FY 1968 

program. The decrease in hours flown was caused by mobilization 

of some aviation units, the ensuing loss of aviators to those units, 

the shortages of repair parts, and higher echelon support maintenance during the first part of the year. 

With few exceptions, all Army National Guard aircraft were 

included in the Army Spectrometric Oil Analysis Program (ASOAP). 

Those aircraft not currently in the program were awaiting oil 

sampling kits necessary for use in the program. Although a relatively recent innovation, startling results in the form of reduced 

accident rates and conservation of life were realized from ASOAP. 

Basically, ASOAP provided through laboratory analysis, the metallic 

or silicon content of oil samples provided by the user. The elements 

found in the sample were compared with the composition of the 

component from which the sample was taken. The amount of the 

element was then compared with what was expected for normal 

wear. This evaluation determined incipient failure. The user was 

immediately notified of the results and normally given advice for 

continued operations under restricted condition until further testing 

could be accomplished. 

Cross Service Agreements 

The Department of Defense continued placing emphasis on 

cross service agreements between and within the military services 

as a means to insure a more efficient and less costly method of 

providing supply and maintenance support. The ARNG has, since 

development of cross service policy and procedure, provided maintenance support to the United States Army Reserve (USAR) and 

active Army. In a few cases, maintenance support was being 

provided to the Navy and Marines. In some cases, agreements were 

initiated to provide POL (Petroleum, Oils and Lubricant) to active 

Army and USAR activities. In addition to savings generated, more 

efficient use of facilities, and the reduction of maintenance lead 

time, these cross service agreements provided closer working 

relationships between the active Army, USAR, and the ARNG 

resulting in adherence to the one Army concept. 

Autovon 

At the end of Fiscal Year 1968, 115 AUTOVON (Automatic Voice 

Network) circuits were in use at various selected activities of the 

Army National Guard. Eighty-three additional AUTOVON circuits 

were in use at selected activities of the Army National Guard and 

another 83 AUTOVON circuits were justified and programmed for 

installation during the second and third quarters of Fiscal Year 

1969. 

Automatic Data Processing 

Logistics Procedures 

Work continued toward development of an automatic data processing mechanized application for standardization of stock accounting, stockage control, demand data accumulation equipment status 

reporting, and essential records control to provide a complete audit 

trail. Action was initiated to develop a logistics asset management 

report to meet current and projected requirements for budget data 

and management information. Additional projected applications 

were commercial vehicle reporting and accumulation of certain 

maintenance information. 

INSTALLATIONS 

Military Construction Program 

The National Defense Facilities Act of 1950 (PL 81-783) provided 

for Federal support of Army National Guard facilities construction. 

Since FY 1952, with the exception of FY 1967, funds have been 

appropriated yearly for purchase, lease, construction, expansion, rehabilitation and conversion of existing facilities. Under this legislation, the States were required to furnish suitable construction 

sites at no cost to the Federal Government. Funding for approved 

armory construction was 75 percent Federal and 25 percent State, 

with 100 percent Federal support for approved non-armory construction. 

In December 1964, all programmed construction was suspended 

pending reorganization of the Reserve Components. Requests were 

processed for non-armory construction which was not directly related to troop stationing. During the first half of FY 1968, some 

urgently required armory projects were authorized on case-by-case 

basis. This permitted resumption of construction on a moderate 

basis pending development and approval of firm stationing plans. 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 39 

In October 1967, the Secretary of Defense suspended the advertising for bids and award of contracts for construction. This suspension was modified in November to authorize contract awards on 

projects for which bids had already been received. This modification also removed restrictions on minor construction. 

In February 1968, the Secretary of Defense removed virtually all 

restrictions on bidding for approved ARNG projects. It was anticipated that normal programming would be resumed for FY 1969. 

The approved Budget Plan for FY 1968 provided for construction 

of 18 armory projects and 14 non-armory projects for a total of $9.0 

million. Department of Army determined National Guard as 

"primary user" of the facilities at Camp Drum, New York; Fort 

Chaffee, Arkansas; and Camp Roberts, California, and the National 

Guard Bureau was assigned the responsibility for programming and 

funding of construction at these installations. Authorization of $2.3 

million was made for construction at Camp Drum in FY 1968. 

Funding 

In FY 1968, carryover funds from prior years for the Military 

Construction Program for Army National Guard amounted to $19.1 

million with an estimated obligational objective of $10 million set 

by Department of Defense. A token $3 million appropriation was 

made by the Congress for FY 1968 (PL 90-180), bringing the total 

available funds to $22.1 million.

Future Requirements 

An analysis of future construction requirements was made, 

based on the reorganized Army National Guard. Only minor changes 

were indicated. Of the 2,786 armory facilities in use, 1,790 were 

considered adequate, and 996 (745 new; 251 rehabilitated) inadequate. The Federal funding required to rehabilitate or replace the 

996 inadequate armory facilities was estimated to be approximately 

$144.2 million. 

In addition, there was an unfulfilled requirement for non-armory 

construction of 798 projects at an estimated cost of $95.3 million. 

This non-armory program would consist primarily of providing administrative, maintenance and warehouse facilities for support of 

Army National Guard and facilities for summer training sites. 

Added to the major armory and non-armory requirements, there 

is a $37.2 million unfulfilled requirement for planning minor construction and other necessary construction. 

Both armory and non-armory construction programs required 

expansion because of virtual suspension of construction for those 

years pending reorganization; also, the increased emphasis on 

mobilization readiness and deterioration of World War II facilities 

utilized extensively by Army National Guard and Reserve forces for 

weekend and annual field training required expansion.

Real Property 

The National Guard Bureau rendered 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 Fiscal Year 1968, the Army National Guard 

made use of 240 Federally owned facilities and 201 privately owned 

facilities under Federal lease. This included 17 Army Advisor 

Offices, 65 Target Range Sites, 18 Aircraft Facilities, 16 Organizational Maintenance Shops, 7 United States Property and Fiscal 

Officer (USPFO) Offices, and 78 Training Area Sites. 

Repairs and Utilities 

Federal funds in the amount of $2,540,457 were provided under 

61 separate service contracts with the States to operate, maintain, 

and repair the non-armory facilities of the Army National Guard. 

These funds provided for facilities operating costs including 

utilities, and for maintenance and repair of non-armory facilities 

such as USPFO Offices and Warehouses, Combined Support Maintenance Shops, Organizational Maintenance Shops and other facilities 

required for the care and safeguarding of Federal property. 

In addition to funding under service contracts, Federal funds 

in the amount of $1,488,493 were provided to support a total of 196 

Repairs and Utilities (R&U) projects for minor /lew construction, 

alteration, extension, and relocation of non-armory facilities.

Rifle Range Repairs 

Federal funds in the amount of $91,498 were provided to support 36 States in the maintenance and repair of 51 approved known 

distance rifle ranges. 

Facilities Support at Field Training Sites 

Annual Field Training Sites 

These facilities were designed to provide the essential requirements for support of Army National Guard units during periods of 

annual field training. The following cantonment type facilities were 

authorized: mess halls and kitchens, bath-latrines, company administration and supply buildings, battalion headquarters, brigade 

headquarters, battalion supply and ration breakdown buildings, dispensaries, enlisted man barracks and officer barracks. 

A total of $4,653,444 in Federal funds was obligated to support 

the opening, operating, and closing costs of annual field training 

sites. Of this amount, $2,513,000 was obligated for Federally controlled sites, and $2,140,444 for State controlled training sites. 

Weekend Training Sites 

These facilities were designed to provide minimum essential 

requirements for support of Army National Guard units during 

periods of weekend training. Construction was limited to austere 

facilities required for the health and safety of troops and security 

of Federal property. Weekend training was conducted in a field 

training environment to the maximum extent feasible at 135 separate weekend training sites, and Federal funds in the amount of 

$1,202,538 were provided in support of this activity. In addition to 

this amount, $195,191 was provided to accomplish 170 minor construction projects at weekend training sites.

"Momentous 1968—the greatest in the history of the Guard," 

were the words of Major General Winston P. Wilson, which were 

more than adequately justified by the performance of the Air 

National Guard during Fiscal Year 1968. 

The mobilization of the Air National Guard units in January and 

May 1968 was the most effective ever accomplished. The reporting 

for active duty, especially the January activation which gave only 

36 hours to report to duty stations, was fast and complete. The 

extremely low number of medical disqualifications (0.73 percent) of 

personnel mobilized proved the excellent condition of the men. 

The Air National Guard's contribution in support of USAF surpassed anything in the past. Aerospace Defense Command units 

continued to effectively and consistently accomplish air defense 

missions with a 24-hour runway alert program. Creek Party completed its first year of continuous service of direct support of active 

Air Force requirements which is the first Guard or Reserve exercise 

which has had continuous oversea duty without mobilization. Exercise Deep Furrow II successfully accomplished a 12 aircraft deployment nonstop to Turkey and back to the East Coast of the United 

States. 

Military Airlift Command units continued to augment the active 

establishment in support of Southeast Asia and other areas of the 

world. Air National Guard medical missions transported patients 

and passengers logging more than three million patient miles to 

service installations in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean areas. 

The achievements of the GEEIA squadrons participating in 

the live-scheme concept of productive augmentation on USAF installations and throughout the world were many. 

The Air National Guard NCO Academy began operation on 24 

June 1968. The Academy is further evidence that the Guard is 

striving for professionalism in its future leaders. 

Fiscal Year 1968 Air National Guard accomplishments were impressive and significant enough to substantiate the title of "Ready 

Now Force." 
44 

COMPTROLLER 

Budget 

Included in the President's Budget for Fiscal Year 1968 were 

estimates for the Operation and Maintenance, Air National Guard 

Appropriation; National Guard Personnel, Air Force Appropriation; 

and Military Construction, Air National Guard Appropriation. United 

States Air Force and Department of Defense approved program 

guidance was followed in the development and preparation of these 

estimates. The initial Congressional approvals for these appropriations resulted in the following: Operation and Maintenance, ANG— 

$272,570,000; National Guard Personnel, AF—$87,600,000; and Military Construction, ANG—$9,500,000. These amounts, in addition to 

approximately $26,135,000 anticipated reimbursements, provided a 

total availability of $396,805,000. The following figures represent the 

initial appropriation plus reimbursements as compared to the total 

availability. 

Adjusted 

Appropriation Title Appropriated* Availability 

Operation and Maintenance $298,570,000 $271,670,000** 

National Guard Personnel 87,735,000 84,510,000** 

Military Construction 9,500,000 24,632,000*** 

Total $395,805,000 $380,812,000 

Includes anticipated reimbursements. 

** Includes all adjustments through the fourth quarter for O& M and 

Military Personnel. 

*** Includes no-year carryover for unobligated balances. 

It will be noted from the above schedule that the availability 

is less than the initial appropriations and is explained as follows: 

The total decrease in Operations and Maintenance was 

$26,900,000. The elimination of the airlift augmentation program 

caused a $20,300,000 decrease in reimbursement for support of the 

Military Airlift Command. The loss of certain ANG units during the 

year, due to mobilization, generated a savings of $7,900,000. Of this 

amount, $6,600,000 was transferred to Operations and Maintenance, 

Air Force, for support of these units; the difference of $1,300,000 

was retained by the ANG and was applied against the cost of Air 

technician pay increases. 

The decrease in National Guard Personnel, Air Force Appropriation, represents the savings of $4,000,000 due to the activation 

of certain ANG units during FY 1968, less $800,000 of a $2,800,000 

military pay increase that could not be absorbed from available 

resources. 

The increase in Military Construction is carry-over. 

Continued improvement in budget estimates and financial plans 

received from the bases was experienced during the Fiscal Year. 

The quality of the estimates provided the operating divisions with 

a realistic reflection of mission requirements. As the Fiscal Year 

progressed, fund monitoring and detailed analyses disclosed a need 

for reprogramming which was accomplished within legal limitations 

and fund availability and provided the economic allocation of 

resources. 

Accounting and Finance 

Reporting responsibility for appropriated funds was transferred 

from the Data Processing Center in St. Louis to the National Guard 

Computer Center in Washington, D. C. Programs and procedures 

for computer processing of trial balance reports are being tested, 

and this responsibility will be transferred to the Computer Center 

in FY 1969. 

Computer edits and reconciliations of appropriated fund reports 

have been implemented and proven effective. Revised procedures 

are being developed to permit ANG bases to reduce their workload 

by using total final report procedures for appropriated fund reports. 

Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

The Air Reserve Forces Centralized Computer Pay System was 

implemented on 1 January 1968 with accounting and finance responsibility being assigned to the Air Force Accounting and Finance 

Center in Denver. Various meetings, reviews and conferences were 

held after that date to evaluate and refine the system. 

As experience was gained with the first ANG units to be 

mobilized in the past year, it became apparent that comptroller 

procedures in AFM 45-2 (Administrative Procedures for Mobilization 

of the Air Reserve Forces) were not current. Accordingly, a draft 

of revised instructions was prepared and submitted to HQ USAF 

for revision of that manual. In the meantime, revised procedures 

have been used in connection with subsequent mobilization of ANG 

units. These new instructions should be published as a change to 

AFM 45-2 in FY 1969. 

Special issues of the National Guard Bulletin were published 

throughout FY 1968 and will be continued in the future. A new 

system of numbering A&F letters to the States and units was 

devised to provide a means of ensuring that all such letters were 

received by base comptrollers. Plans were also made to provide 

for a series of area comptroller conferences during FY 1969. 

Management Analysis and 

Statistical Services 

Effective 1 March 1968 the new JCS Force Status Report 

(FORSTAT) was implemented Air Force wide. Eventually all combat 

and combat support units in the Regular and Reserve components 

will be covered. Currently, all Air National Guard flying units 

submit data monthly to Headquarters USAF through the Air 

National Guard Data Processing Center and have done so, on 

schedule, since March 1968. Programs were in planning stages to 

incorporate data from Tactical Air Control Groups and Mobile 

Communications Groups. In addition, it was anticipated that with 

the inherent flexibility of the FORSTAT reporting format supplementary information would be gradually incorporated and other 

previously required reports eliminated. 

PERSONNEL 

Military Strength 

On 30 June 1968, the strength of the Air National Guard was 

75,261. This constituted 99.7 percent of the spaces allocated by the 

Department of Defense. 

The 75,522 paid d'ill spaces authorized as of June 1968 were 84 

percent of the Unit Military Drill (UMD) of 89,281. 

On 26 January 1968, eight F-100 units and three RF-101 units 

were mobilized. There were 1,076 officers (447 pilots) and 8,102 

airmen for a total of 9,178 personnel mobilized. 

On 13 May 1968, two F-86 units and one Aeromed Airlift Group 

were mobilized. This mobilization included 224 officers (113 pilots), 

1,109 airmen for a total of 1,333. 

The drill paid limitations imposed by DOD has precluded 

many ANG units from improving combat ready status from a 

personnel standpoint.

Public Law 90-130, 8 November 1967, amended provisions of 

the statutes to authorize the enlistment and appointment of women 

in the Air National Guard (WAF-ANG). Lead time was required to 

arrange for appropriate training and establish procurement and 

utilization criteria. A letter was disseminated to all State adjutants 

general announcing these criteria and authorizing enlistment and 

appointment of WAF-ANG 1 July 1968. 

Revitalization of the Officer Corps 

In recognition of the impact that the mandatory loss of the 

WWII officer group will have on the Air National Guard officer 

corps, the Bureau continued efforts to establish a procedure that 

would assure progression of younger officers into positions of 

leadership. Following Bureau instruction, the adjutants general of 

the several States established "Revitalization Boards" charged with 

the task of annually reviewing the performance record of all officers 

with over 20 years of service. The board was to make recommendations to the adjutant general concerning the continued retention in 

an active status of those officers having positive indications of 

continued physical capability and interest in the Guard program 

essential to dynamic leadership. 

Retirement 

Following is a status report on the retirement project conducted 

by NG-AFPMR to comply with Public Law 89-652. The report, prepared by the Directorate of Personnel Systems, Air Reserve Personnel Center, reflected 2,067 eligibles: 

1,843—Records computed, certified and forwarded to ARPC-2 for 

audit and notification to the individual of his eligibility 

as required by P.L. 89-652. 

93—Officers on active duty due to recent mobilization 

(These officers will not be processed until released from 

active duty). 

68—Officers' records being held pending official verification 

of service claimed by the reservist which is not shown 

on master personnel records. 

45—Shown on the roster, but did not qualify under applicable regulations. 

14—Transferred to Retired Reserve. 

4—Retired with 20 years active duty, but were Air National 

Guard members. 

In addition to above, 106 officers were processed from previous 

reports and removed from the current roster by reason of having 

transferred to the Retired Reserve. 

Records for ANG airmen have been forwarded by the State 

adjutants general directly to ARPC for verification of 20 years 

satisfactory service for retirement. 

Personnel Data Systems 

Although the active force implemented modifications to both 

the officer and airman systems, no changes have been made to the 

Air Reserve Forces personnel data systems (ARF-PDC) during the 

past year. Decisions were pending at HQ USAF level as to size of 

ARF-PDC data base and general objectives of the system. These 

matters were not decided in sufficient time to permit changes to 

Reserve Forces system during this year, due to necessary lead-time 

for reprogramming. This delay resulted in incompatibility between 

Reserve and active force systems which cause serious problems, 

especially in the airman system, when the various units were 

mobilized in January and May. 

Problems in the January mobilization were most serious since 

no provision existed for accession of personnel into the active force 

system on no-notice mobilization. NGB had advised USAF Military 

Personnel Center (MPC) of this deficiency. Crash conversion programs were developed by TAC, and card formats were converted by 

that headquarters to the active force configuration to permit 

accession of mobilized personnel into the active force. 

Modification of ARF-PDS to bring it in line with the active force 

system was being developed and was scheduled for January 1969 

implementation. The accession system has been improved greatly 

and will permit immediate flow of all data maintained from the 

ARPC computer to MPC and major air commands when units are 

mobilized rather than the skeleton Uniform Officer Record Uniform 

Airman Record (UOR UAR) provided in the current system. This 

will satisfy the requirement of the air staff and major commands 

concerned by providing sufficient data to manage the new accessions immediately. 

Efforts continued throughout the year to reduce error rates and 

improve validity of data in file. Error rates have leveled out at about 

seven percent in the officer system and two percent in the airman 

system. Increased useability of management reports indicated 

efforts to improve validity of data had been successful. 

The computerized Air Reserve Pay and Allowance System 

(ARPAS) became operational on a live-test basis in January 1968. 

Transactions were submitted by consolidated base personnel offices 

(CBPOs) to Air Force Accounting and Finance Center (AFAFC) 

where computer processing and issuance of checks were accomplished. PDS data common to the pay system was submitted only 

to ARPC, where it was edited, processed to file, and extracted to 

AFAFC for use in the pay system. Some problems have occurred 

in the system due to the PDS update frequency and scheduled 

submission of pay transactions. Satisfactory solution to this problem was not likely until such time as all input locations acquired 

capability for electrical transmission of data. 

Flow of interface data to PDS from the Flight Management 

Data System began early in 1968. Some problems existed in validity 

of flying hour data received which should be resolved in the near 

future. 

The ANG Morning Report was discontinued as of the end of 

FY 1968. Henceforth, the personnel data system will be the source 

of official ANG strength as it has been for the active force for 

several years. 

Air Technician Program 

Air technician strength dropped from 16,483 on 30 June 1967 

to 14,691 employed on 30 June 1968. There were 16,746 on board 

in January when units were alerted for mobilization. By June, 

approximately 2,021 air technicians were in active Federal service. 

The majority of these personnel had previous service in Korea 

and during the Berlin Mobilization in 1961. Their experience and 

high degree of skill were of much value in keeping administrative 

problems associated with mobilization to a minimum. 

Air technician manning was increased for some units converting to heavy transport aircraft. New missions were introduced to 

the program, including conversion of one unit to aeromedical airlift 

and one to that of tactical electronic warfare. 

Army-Air Force wage board increases were authorized throughout the year, and on 1 April 1968, technicians began to receive their 

wage board increases on the same date as Federal employees 

rather than on a quarterly basis. 

An air technician manpower management review was conducted 

for Administrative Services, Personnel, and Air Operations. This was 

vitally needed in view of recent changes in these areas, such as 

computerized centralized military pay and the mechanization of 

aircrew flight records. 

The National Guard Bureau continued its efforts to gain retirement legislation for all National Guard technicians. Work was 

closely coordinated between the Bureau and the Senate Armed 

Services Committee to provide needed statistics and other data 

pertinent to the program. 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 47 

Education and Training 

The individual training program in the Air National Guard, 

comprised of four major categories—flight, technical, professional, 

and recruit—was designed to produce an end product of affording 

the ANG commander maximum assistance in achieving an adequate 

skill level manned unit. The Fiscal Year 1968 ANG Financial Plan 

approved the following training program.

Total 11,775 1,378,490 15,013,314 

During Fiscal Year 1968, 13,850 individuals went on active duty 

for training, using 1,607,291 mandays for a total expenditure of 

$14,756,797 appropriated funds. Detailed program accomplishment 

by training category follows: 

Flight Training 

A total of 168 individuals entered undergraduate pilot training 

with 125 completing the training. Of the 65 individuals who entered 

navigator training, 59 were graduated. (Because pilot training lasts 

over one year and navigator training approximately 10 months, there 

is no correlation between number of entries per year and graduates 

during the same time period.) 

Advance flying training consisted of providing both combat crew 

training for the newly graduated pilot/navigator and cross-training 

of new ANG prior service pilots who were previously qualified in 

other aircraft. A total of 323 students entered this program. 

Technical Training 

Technical training was composed of officer/airman formal 

school courses and special training through mobile training detachments (MDTs) and factory courses.

Recruit Training 

The ANG was authorized to enlist non-prior service individuals 

to fill critical Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) when recruitment 

of prior service individuals could not be accomplished. All of these 

enlistees were required to enter basic military training, and approximately 70 percent continue in technical training. The remaining 

30 percent return to the parent ANG unit for on-the-job training.

On-the-Job Training Program 

During 1968, emphasis continued to be placed on providing 

individual progression and capability of ANG operations through 

the ANG on-the-job training (OJT) program. This resulted in increased skill manning throughout the ANG. Following are the 

results of the OJT effort for 1968: 

Airmen entered into OJT 32,818 

Airmen enrolled in Career Development Courses 24,702 

SKT Passing Rate, 3-level 86.8% 

SKT Passing Rate, 5-level 65.3% 

SKT Passing Rate, 7-level 58.1% 

SKT Passing Rate overall (3, 5, and 7 levels) 71.4% 

Airmen upgraded to next higher skill level 19,087 

Percent airmen in OJT upgraded to next higher skill level 36.7% 

Skill Level Manning 69.0% 

Forty-six units in 28 States received the "On-the-Job Training 

Unit Achievement Certificate" for an outstanding on-the-job training 

program for 1968, based on the following criteria: 

Unit exceeded the ANG average for percentage of skill level 

manning, 

Unit exceeded the ANG Average Specialty Knowledge Test (SKT) 

passing rate, and 

Unit was below the ANG average for percentage overtime in 

OJT. 

ANG NCO Academy 

On 24 June 1968, the Air National Guard began operation of its 

NCO Academy on a full-time basis. This culminated three years of 

extensive NGB Air Staff action under the personal direction of 

Brigadier General I. G. Brown. 

The NCO Academy will conduct three special two-week courses 

during June and July and hold five five-week courses during the 

remainder of the Fiscal Year. Student input will be 100 NCOs per 

the special two-week courses and 60 students in each of the 

five-week sessions. 

Enforcement of Participation Requirements 

Under the provisions of 10 USC 673a, implemented by Executive 

Order No. 11366, dated August 4, 1967, ANG members who fail to 

satisfactorily participate and have not fulfilled their statutory 

service obligations are subject to involuntary order to active duty 

until their total active duty and active duty for training equals 

24 months. This provision is utilized for those airmen whose 

unsatisfactory participation is due to failure to attend scheduled 

training. A total of 63 ANG airmen were processed for involuntary 

active duty under this authority. 

Airmen who are unsatisfactory participants due to failure to 

progress in skill qualification within the time limits allowed are 

subject to order to a 45-day involuntary active duty tour for intensified training. A total of 125 ANG airmen were processed for 45-day 

involuntary active duty tours for unsatisfactory training performance. 

Air National Guard Management 

Information System 

On 14 July 1967, the Chief, National Guard Bureau, detailed 

selected members of the National Guard Bureau to a Data Automation Task Group charged with executing the details of instituting 

a management information system for the Army and the Air National Guard. The chief of the Air National Guard Task Group was 
48 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

from the Personnel Division and had representatives from Supply, 

Manpower and Comptroller. Additional personnel with the skills of 

systems design and computer program writing were provided by 

USAF. 

The Task Group developed a program change request for justification of the necessary funds to purchase the computer hardware 

and started detailed designing systems in the functional areas of 

Accounting, Personnel and Manpower. No attempt was made to 

design a system in Supply or Maintenance as the USAF had an 

operating Supply system and was designing a system for Maintenance. 

On 14 December 1967, the Secretary of the Air Force requested 

an extensive study on the possibility of satelliting the ANG bases 

on nearby USAF bases as an alternate authorizing a separate computer system for the Air National Guard. This study required 

analysis in depth of the proposed ANG system, which was under 

development and comparison with the USAF systems, which were 

also being formulated at that time. The task required execution 

by skilled data systems analysts wno were available only from 

Air Force resources. 

By 1 April 1968, the USAF-supplied analysts had been withdrawn 

for overseas commitments or more pressing duties while the Bureau 

functional area consultants had been reduced to two by retirements. 

The decision was made to return the personnel to their permanent duty and continue the project through Bureau personnel on 

a part-time basis. 

Awards and Decorations 

NG-AFPMR has processed the following number of requests for 

individual awards in the past year: 

16—AF Commendation Medal 

2—Good Conduct Medal 

2—Missileman Badge 

(Authority has been given TAGs to publish orders confirming the 

award of the Missileman Badge to ANG members who are certified 

eligible by the gaining command, under the provisions of AFR 35-5.) 

Recommendations for the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award 

were processed for the following units: 

115th Tactical Control Flight, Alabama 

132d Fighter Group, Iowa 

140th Tactical Fighter Group, Colorado 

144th Fighter Group, California 

146th Military Airlift Group, California 

medical facilities in support of Air National Guard operational 

requirements including aeromedical evacuation. 

The medical service was composed of 100 units as of 30 June 

1968. 

8 Tactical Hospitals 

44 USAF Dispensaries 

26 Tactical Dispensaries with Air Transportable Hospitals 

4 Aeromedical Evacuation Squadrons 

18 Aeromedical Evacuation Flights 

The medical disqualifications of Air National Guard personnel 

mobilized in the FY 1968 were the lowest of any mobilizations in the 

past; in fact, only 77 persons out of 10,511 activated, 0.73 percent, 

were found to be medically not qualified. This low medical rejection 

rate was an indication that the medical staff was doing a commendable job. Medical examinations were being performed by most 

of the ANG dispensaries and hospitals. Personnel were assessed 

and certified as available for worldwide assignment, temporarily disqualified, or permanently disqualified. In the latter case, action was 

taken to discharge the member. 

On 1 August 1965, at the request of MAC and with the approval 

of HQ, USAF, the Air National Guard performed its first routine live 

mission in support of the MAC domestic Aeromedical Evacuation 

System. Originally, ANG C-121 aircraft transported patients between 

hospitals, in support of the active Air Force, over three separate 

routes within the Continental U.S. (CONUS). In mid-September 

1965, participation was expanded to include an offshore mission to 

Alaska. C-97 aircraft were used on this route. In October 1966, two 

of the CONUS missions were dropped, and three offshore missions 

were added: Newfoundland, Puerto Rico and Panama, and Cuba and 

Bermuda. These offshore missions originate every two weeks at 

Travis AFB, California, for the Alaskan Mission, and McGuire AFB, 

New Jersey, for the East Coast offshore missions. The one remaining CONUS mission originates at Scott AFB, Illinois, and proceeds 

to McGuire AFB, New Jersey; Andrews AFB, Maryland; Maxwell AFB, 

Alabama; and Kelly AFB, Texas, and returns to Scott AFB, Illinois. 

This is a weekly mission. This live mission is a major milestone 

in the Air National Guard's progress toward assisting the active 

establishment in its daily operations. 

ANG Aeromedical Evacuation nurses and technicians have the 

opportunity of a lifetime to train in an actual situation. Additionally, they have th_ privilege to select dates for their training 

that are most convenient for them.

Nurse Corps 676 351 51.92 

Total 1,438 811 

There was a continuing shortage of Medical Service Corps personnel in administrative and medical supply specialties. To some 

degree, the well-trained medical administrative NCO (AFSC 90670) 

has alleviated the administrative problem. 

The Basic Orientation Course conducted at Sheppard AFB, 

Texas, was attended by 50 ANG physicians, nurses and dentists. 

There were eight physicians designated as Flight Medical Officers 

upon completion of the Aerospace Medicine Course at Brooks AFB, 

Texas. In addition, seven physicians completed two phases of this 

course during FY 1968. This was a nine-week course and could 

be attended in three increments. Also, a five-day course on 

"Operational Aeromedical Problems" was attended by 11 ANG physicians. The Flight Nurse Course at Brooks was attended by 77 

nurses. Twelve medical career development courses were in various 

stages of development. 

The Office of the Air Surgeon has been conducting an office 

workshop for assigned Medical Air Technicians which lasted 10 to 

15 days. The scope of training included the updating of medical 

standards, medical material programming, screening of medical 

records and unit manning document programming of medical 

personnel. 

Additional items of equipment have been authorized and funds 

provided to procure additional items or replace worn out equipment. 

An overall evaluation of the Fiscal Year 1968 ANG medical 

programs indicated: 

1. Medical Units understood their support mission and were 

equipped to handle it. 

2. Medical need existed for the ANG to support the active 

establishment in the air evacuation of patients. 

3. There were no epidemics of communicable or infectious 

diseases during the annual field training tours or unit 

training assemblies. 

4. Air National Guard personnel were combat ready, with few 

exceptions, due to the close screening of medical examinations by medical officers, flight surgeons, and civilian 

medical technicians, and continuing immunization programs. 

Physical health and the capability for proper medical support 

were the highest in the history of the Air National Guard in spite 

of continuing shortages in medical personnel. 

OPERATIONS AND TRAINING 

Organization 

On 30 June 1968, the Air National Guard had 756 federally 

recognized units. Flying units were organized into 21 wings, 76 

groups, and 78 squadrons. The number of non-flying units was 

581. There were 89,281 military manpower spaces allocated to 

major commands to support the Air National Guard force structure. 

These figures do not include the three wings, 13 groups and 10,511 

manpower spaces which were mobilized.

* The 171st Military Airlift Group converted to the 171st Aeromedical 

Airlift Group during the second quarter of FY 1968. The conversion in 

mission did not require aircraft change and the gaining command 

remained MAC. 

* The 193d Tactical Electronic Warfare unit was converted to the new 

and challenging role during the first quarter of FY 1968. The conversion 

required modification of aircraft from C-121 to the EC-121 configuration 

and a change in gaining command from MAC to TAC. 

Flying Hours 

The Air National Guard flew a total of 463,108 flying hours during 

FY 1968. This total included 268,499 hours in jet aircraft, 169,960 

hours in tactical non-jet aircraft, and 24,649 hours in support 

aircraft. Included in the total are 12,667 hours which were reimbursed by the Air Force for direct support of: MAC airlift 7,597 hours; 

Aeromedical Evacuation airlift 2,231 hours; Dart Tow in support of 

TAC 1,205 hours and C-121 training in support of ADC 1,634 hours. 

A reduction of 69,000 hours from FY 1967 was the direct result 

of cancellation of all ANG SEA support missions (except for 

February 1968) bringing the FY 1968 program to 517,078 hours. This 

program was subsequently reduced to 486,347 hours resulting from 

petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) price increases and consumption variances for 30,731 hours. A further reduction of 31,180 hours 

occurred with the January 1968 mobilization of eight F-100 and 

three F-101 units, and the May 1968 mobilization of one C-121 and 

two F-86 units which brought the adjusted FY 1968 flying hour 

program to 455,167. 

Participation in Public Events 

The Air National Guard is called upon to assist in providing 

flyovers of jet aircraft and static displays of aircraft in connection 

with public exhibitions, events, and ceremonies in order to satisfy 

and stimulate public interest in the Armed Forces. During Fiscal 

Year 1968, 42 such requests were answered entirely within Air 

National Guard resources. 

Aerospace Defense Command Units 

During the past year, Air National Guard/Aerospace Defense 

Command units continued their major role by supporting ADC, 

NORAD, and PACAF in the overall role of providing Aerospace 

Defense for the United States. 

The performance of ADC units was commendable throughout 

the year. Numerous ADC exercises were flown day and night; 

an average of 5,700 hours per unit was flown, and various 

activities from training foreign pilots to flying formation flights 

on Armed Forces Day were accomplished. No ANG/ADC units 

were among units mobilized. The 22 ANG/ADC units, located 

throughout the 50 States, are now, and have been for several 

years, performing a full-time job for the Air Force. Again this 

year, these units continued to fill in for ADC and NORAD which 

enabled regular Air Force personnel and equipment to be deployed 

as needed around the world. 

The ADC Fighter Group mission—to administer, equip, and train 

assigned personnel in accordance with programs established by 

the Aerospace Defense Command, and to provide combat-ready 

aircrews and aircraft for the NORAD alert commitment was carried 

out by all units during the past year. 

Of the 49 Fighter Interceptor Squadrons which were available 

to the Commander of ADC, 21 squadrons were National Guard units. 

Two of the units still flew the venerable F-89. These 21 squadrons 

represented 43 percent of ADC's fighter force. An additional F-102 

unit, located at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, made a total of 22 ANG 

all-weather interceptor units on alert 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 

The Air National Guard F-102s represented 55 percent of the 

USAF-102 fleet. 

During FY 1968, ANG/ADC alert units flew 23,935 scrambles 

and made 53,934 successful intercepts while flying 134,499 hours. 

Of these hours, 42,132 hours were flown on alert. 

Aircraft used by ANG/ADC units are: 40 F-89 J and 374 

F/TF-102A. 

Military Airlift Command Units 

During the past year, the Air National Guard continued its 

enviable record in providing vital airlift support to the Military 

Airlift Command (MAC). 

Since the Air National Guard began its Global Airlift Fleet in 

January 1960, the number of four engine transports has increased 

from an initial 162 C-97 STRATOCRUISERS to today's force of 102 

C-97s, 26 C-121 SUPERCONSTELLATIONS, and 72 C-124 GLOBEMASTER aircraft. This fleet was organized into seven wings, 22 

groups and 23 flying squadrons, with a total of 3,092 officers and 

16,616 airmen assigned, representing 74 percent of the 4,186 officers 

authorized, and 91 percent of the 18,193 airmen authorized. In 

addition to the 24 Military Airlift Command Heavy Transport Squadrons in the ANG, there is also the 144th Air Transport Squadron, 

Medium, based at Kulis ANG Base, Anchorage, Alaska, which is 

equipped with eight C-123-J aircraft. Although part of the ANG 

Military Airlift Command Fleet, the 144th is assigned to the 

Alaskan Air Command. 

The Air National Guard Airlift Fleet operated daily over all 

established world-wide MAC routes as well as normal training 

routes in the CONUS. These overwater missions which encountered 

all types of flying conditions, have and continue to serve, a dual 

purpose. In complying with the intended mission to develop, maintain, and provide trained operationally ready units and individuals, 

the ANG Airlift Fleet has contributed direct assistance to MAC 

and other governmental agencies. In this dual mission of training 

as well as fulfilling commitments, the ANG Airlift Fleet was 

efficiently utilizing allocated funds. 

In FY 1968, the Air National Guard Airlift Fleet flew a total of 

2,469 missions, of which 268 were in support of Southeast Asia as 

a functional part of MAC. During this period, 58,986,545 ton miles 

were flown, and 27,653 personnel were airlifted. The ANG Aeromedical Evacuation Flight missions were not only conducted in 

the CONUS, but also to Alaska, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Bermuda, 

Labrador, Newfoundland, and the Canal Zone. The following chart

The C-124 conversion program continued at an accelerated pace 

with six units receiving aircraft this year. Those units in the 

conversion program for FY 1968 were the 165th Military Airlift Group, 

Savannah, Georgia, the 138th Military Airlift Group, Tulsa, Oklahoma, the 157th Military Airlift Group, Pease AFB, New Hampshire, 

and the 137th Military Airlift Group, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 

The 146th Military Airlift Group, Van Nuys, California, was scheduled to receive its first aircraft the 1st quarter, FY 1969. As of 30 

June 1968, two C-124 units, the 116th, Dobbins AFB, Georgia, and 

the 145th, Charlotte, North Carolina, had achieved C-2 status, and 

four C-124 units, the 172d Military Airlift Group, Jackson, Mississippi, 

118th Military Airlift Group, Nashville, Tennessee, 164th'Military 

Airlift Group, Memphis, Tennessee, and the 165th Military Airlift 

Group, Dobbins AFB, Georgia, had achieved C-3 status. 

With the increase in civil disturbance facing the Nation, the 

Air National Guard Airlift Fleet has assumed additional responsibilities to its normal commitments. During the April civil disturbance and riots, the ANG Airlift Fleet airlifted 5,882 personnel and 

567,190 ton miles of supplies and equipment. Seventy aircraft flew 

389 sorties during a five-day period. The deployment and redeployment of forces and material throughout the country has become 

an integral part of the ANG's varied role in their overall military 

and civil obligations. 

The manner in which the ANG Airlift Fleet responded to the 

many and varied commitments indicated the dedication of all airlift personnel to the accomplishment of the tasks assigned and, 

also, to their high degree of skill and job qualification which enabled them to perform their tasks as professionals. 

Tactical Air Command Units 

The ANG Tactical Forces have continued to assist Tactical Air 

Command with continued support of JCS directed exercises. Most 

of these exercises are conducted outside the continental limits 

of the United States. 

One exercise, Deep Furrow II, was a NATO exercise conducted 

in Turkey during September and October 1967. The 140th Tactical 

Fighter Group from Buckley Air National Guard Base, Denver, 

Colorado, supported the exercise with 12 F-100C aircraft. The aircraft were deployed nonstop to Europe and back to the East Coast 

of the United States through the use of SAC KC-135 tanker aircraft. 

Gold Rush VI was a JCS directed exercise in Alaska supported 

by six F-100 aircraft from the 107th Tactical Fighter Group, Niagara 

Falls, New York. Refueling support during the deployment/employment/redeployment was furnished by the 126th Air Refueling Wing, 

O'Hare Field, Chicago, Illinois. During the employment phase of 

the exercise, the F-lOOs flew live firepower demonstrations and 

simulated close air support missions for the regular Army forces 

in Alaska. 

Coral Sands II was an exercise conducted in Hawaii from 27 

July through 3 August 1967. The exercise was supported by the 

ANG's 121st Tactical Fighter Group, Lockbourne AFB, Ohio, with 

ten F-100 aircraft that deployed nonstop from McClellan AFB, 

California, to Hickam AFB, Hawaii, utilizing ANG KC-97L tankers 

from the 136th Air Refueling Wing, Dallas, Texas, for refueling. The 

employment phase of the exercise required the 121st Tactical 

Fighter Group to fly live firepower and simulated close air support 

missions. 

Exercise Creek Party, which required five ANG KC-97L tankers 

in Europe on a continuing basis providing refueling training for 

USAFE F-4s and F-lOOs, celebrated one year of operation 1 May 1968. 

The figures compiled through June 1968 were quite impressive. The 

tankers had flown 700 sorties and offloaded over two million gallons 

of jet fuel while providing the fighters with 8.500 hook-ups. Probably the most impressive figure was the extremely low number of 

aborts (7) which were attributed to the tanker forces. 

Last summer, during the annual field training period, two Air 

National Guard exercises were generated—Guard Strike I and Sentry 

Post I. The exercises were designed with an overall objective to 

indoctrinate or train ANG units in all phases of the Tactical Air 

Control System. The primary objective of the exercises was to 

assist in the training of ACW Controllers assigned to the 152d and 

157th Tactical Control Groups. 

Exercise Guard Strike II, which combined the forces used in 

Guard Strike I and Sentry Post I, was completed. The exercise 

terminated in August and completed the 2d Phase of the 3-Phase 

plan. The 3d Phase, scheduled to take place next summer, will 

terminate the Guard Strike series of exercise. Each phase covered 

a larger scope than the previous stage and, of course, incorporated 

all the lessons learned in the previous plan. We were pleased with 

the participation of many active units from all branches of the 

service including headquarters TAC, ADC, and CAC. 

The ANG Tactical Fighter and Reconnaissance units received 

many requests from TAC to perform firepower demonstrations, close 

air support missions, and photographic missions from various Army 

units. Because these missions are usually short notice missions, 

the Bureau, with the concurrence of the adjutants general, allows 

HQ TAC, and 9th and 12th Air Forces to frag the units directly. 

During the past year, ANG units flew over 1,000 of these missions. 

With the installation of an air-to-air gun capability being installed in the F-4 aircraft, a requirement for F-4 air-to-air gunnery 

training was generated. The F-4 does not have the capability of 

towing the dart target, so once again, the Guard fighter units were 

called upon. Our F-84 and F-86 units flew over 1,000 dart tow sorties 

between January and June 1968. The sorties were flown at Homestead AFB, MacDill AFB, Eglin AFB, all located in Florida, and 

George AFB, California. Due to the high degree of success associated with the program, HQ USAF requested the program be 

continued. 

The 193d Tactical Electronic Warfare Group was established by 

conversion of a former MAC-gained unit to a TAC oriented mission. 

The unit retained its C-121 aircraft which were in the process of 

modification by addition of equipment. 

During the past Fiscal Year, TAC units were subjected to 11 

Operational Readiness Inspections. This does not include inspections levied against the activated units shortly after activation. 

Aircraft used by the ANG/TAC units include:

AEROSPACE SAFETY 

The Air National Guard completed Fiscal Year 1968 with a rate 

of 4.9 major accidents for each 100,000 hours flown, thereby lowering its major aircraft accident rate from 6.0 of the previous year. 

One factor which influenced this lower rate was the activation of 

units equipped with high risk aircraft such as the F-100, RF-101, 

and F-86. The ANG units continued to support Southeast Asia airlift 

requirements, performed a significant percentage of NORAD's alert 

commitment, and provided mission support for TAC. The ANG 

accident prevention program continued to place emphasis on high 

standards of supervision and performance, air discipline, and 

improvement in airfield facilities. 

A new publication, the Air National Guard Safety Summary, was 

created to supplement existing Air Force and major command 

safety education media, and proved to be a signficant aid in the 

timely exchange of accident prevention information. Special emphasis was given to the training of personnel directly involved in 

the safety programs. A ground safety course specifically tailored 

for the ANG was developed by ATC and approximately 100 Guardsmen participated. In addition, an accident prevention course for 

key unit management was developed and will start in FY 1969. 

Sixty-nine units, including 38 jet reconnaissance interceptor units 

were accident free during this period. 

Three units were awarded USAF safety plaques for Calendar 

Year 1967: the 108th Tactical Fighter Group, McGuire AFB, New 

Jersey and the 134th Air Refueling Group, Knoxville, Tennessee, for 

high standards of performance in Flying Safety, and the 163d 

Fighter Group, Ontario, California, for outstanding achievement in 

Missile Safety. 

COMMUNICATIONS-ELECTRONICS 

AND WEATHER 

Communications Units (AFCS) 

Reorganization 

A giant step was taken in March of 1968 when the Mobile 

Communications Groups (AFCS) were reorganized under new unit 

manning documents (UMD) which eliminated eight Radio Relay 

Squadrons and eight Tributary Team Squadrons and activated 16 

Mobile Communications Squadrons (Contingency) to replace them. 

The new units had a capability in both radio relay and tributary 

team deployment. This gave the gaining command (AFCS) the 

flexibility of calling only one unit to active duty when both capabilities were needed in an emergency. 

The former Comm Squadrons (Relay Center) were also reorganized to Mobile Comm Squadrons (Air Force Component Command Post) (AFCCP) with an improved manning document in the 

functions necessary to operate the AFCCP and the Mobile Transcom. 

The AFCCP team provided C&E equipment and maintenance personnel to allow the component commander to command and control 

his subordinate forces. The transcom team provided C&E equipment and maintenance personnel to give the component commander access to the Defense Communications System and to 

permit him to coordinate with lateral force commanders. 

The UMDs for the Mobile Comm Groups were improved in many 

areas, but the most significant changes were the authorizations of 

two colonels (commander and deputy commander). 

The Mobile Comm Squadrons (Bare Base) were increased in 

size as were the Mobile Comm Flights, and four new flights (two 

Base Comm and two Flight Facilities) were activated in Hawaii in 

October 1967. This gave PACAF a three Bare Base capability in 

Base Comm and F!ight Facilities when added to the capability of 

the Mobile Comm Squadron (Bare Base) which was activated in 

March 1967. 

All the reorganizations above were accomplished within the 

manpower resources authorized in the previous organizations. 

Equipping 

Efforts were continued during FY 1968 to re-equip the Mobile 

Comm Groups and subordinate units with the latest communications-electronics equipment. A contract was consummated in May 

1968 by Air Force to procure 14 each AN TRN-17 (dual channel 

Tacan) sets for our Mobile Comm Squadrons and Flight Facilities 

Flights. That contract was canceled by USAF in 1 July 1968 message because of exorbitant costs. An existing Air Force contract 

was being amended to include our requirement of 14 sets of 

AN/TRN-26 to perform the same function. Sets were to be ready 

for delivery in approximately 21 months. Another contract was near 

completion by USAF to purchase four AN TTC-22 (tactical comm 

centrals) from FY 1968 funds and four additional from FY 1969 

funds. These eight sets were being purchased to replace eight sets 

of old and much less efficient equipment loaned to USAF in 1965. 

Also, during the 1968 review of the ANG Communications Forces 

Program, OSD approved approximately $7 million for the FY 1969 

procurement of mobile communications centers, technical control 

vans, maintenance vans, supply vans and associated aerospace 

ground equipment and spares to partially equip the ANG Mobile 

Comm Squadrons (Bare Base) and their subordinate units. 

Training 

All Mobile Comm Groups, Mobile Comm Squadrons, and subordinate organizations were included in plans developed in FY 1968 

for an all National Guard field exercise (Guard Strike II) which 

was scheduled to be executed in July and August 1968. This exercise was planned to demonstrate the capability of the ANG to 

field four complete Tactical Air Control Systems using the four 

Mobile Comm Groups, two Tactical Control Groups and the subordinate units of both. Units will be deployed under field conditions 

in the mid-western and eastern US and will be training in full 

cooperation with ANG flying units and Army National Guard units. 

All AFCS-gained forces of the Air National Guard were training 

under the supervision of TAC Comm Area, Langley AFB, except for 

a number of Comm Flights (Support) not gained by Tactical Air 

Command. 

The training program arranged with FAA in 1964 for training 

ANG Air Traffic Controllers in FAA towers under FAA supervision 

continued to be invaluable in terms of getting ANG personnel fully 

trained and facility rated. 

No significant progress has been made in the improvement of 

the AN GRC-129 single side band equipment which was made 

available to our units by the modification of the AN GRC-26B high 

frequency equipment. OCAMA was trying to find a solution to the 

problem, and the NGB was working with them as closely as possible. 

The 280th Comm Squadron (Special) has continued to train its 

personnel at Maxwell AFB on Air Force equipment, and unit personnel have achieved a skill level throughout that is outstanding. 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 55 

Fixed ACW Squadrons 

(ADC-ANTDEFCOM-PACAF) 

An era of ANG ACW operations in support of the North American Air Defense system came to an end on 14 May 1968. On that 

date the 130th ACW Squadron at Salt Lake City, Utah, and the 

138th ACW Squadron at Greeley, Colorado, terminated their fulltime support roles after almost 11 years of continuous operation. 

During that period, the units were accorded many honors in 

recognition of their service. Included in an impressive list of 

awards to each unit was the coveted Aerospace Defense Command 

"A" Award; in 1967 the 138th was the recipient of the Air Force 

Outstanding Unit Award. 

The 140th ACW Squadron in Puerto Rico operated two radar 

sites. They supported the Antilles Defense Command (CINCLANT) 

with a daily 14-hour training operation. The main operating facility 

of the squadron's detachment at Ramey AFB has been enlarged to 

almost twice its former size, permitting a more expanded and 

efficient operation. During the period 5-15 May 1968, the 140th 

participated in a unique exercise with the Venezuelan Air Force 

(VAF). For this exercise the VAF deployed F-86 aircraft, pilots, and 

weapons controllers to Puerto Rico. There, the 140th provided intensive indoctrination training in air defense tactics and techniques. 

It was anticipated that this program would continue on a regular 

basis. At year's end, the search radar of the main site at Punta 

Salinas was being replaced with a higher performance set. The 

exchange was an ANG project, with ANG GEEIA forces dismantling 

the new radar at its former location; ANG airlift forces transporting 

it to Puerto Rico; and ANG,GEEIA and PRANG forces programmed 

to perform the installation at Punta Salinas. 

Full-time air defense operations of the Hawaii ANG's 150th 

and 169th ACW Squadrons in support of PACAF continued during 

FY 1968. These units, which provided the ground radar environment 

of the Hawaii Air Defense System, added a new role during the year. 

At the request of PACAF, the units initiated a program to provide 

requalification training for weapons controllers assigned to other 

PACAF elements. 

Tactical Control Groups (TAC) 

During FY 1968, the event of most significance for the 152d and 

157th Tactical Control Groups was their respective participation in 

two all-Guard exercises, SENTRY POST I and GUARD STRIKE I. 

Each of these exercises was conceived and planned to provide a 

realistic environment for the annual field training of ANG command 

and control elements. 

Exercise SENTRY POST I was held in the northeastern area of 

the US during the period 29 July-26 August 1967. An ANG Provisional 

Air Force, the EAST COAST TACTICAL AIR FORCE, was activated 

under the command of Brigadier General Michael C. Maione (NY 

ANG) to control the exercises. The 152d Tactical Control Group 

provided personnel and equipment to operate essential Tactical Air 

Control System (TACS) elements, including a control center, ground 

radar sites, and other facilities necessary for the control of tactical 

aircraft. Units of the 152d acclaimed SENTRY POST I as one of the 

most beneficial training exercises in their experience. 

The 157th provided similar TACS elements for Exercise GUARD 

STRIKE I which was conducted in the north central US during the 

period 17 June-15 July 1967. For this exercise, the FIRST ANG 

TACTICAL AIR FORCE was organized under the command of Major 

General Charles DuBois (MO ANG). As in the case of SENTRY 

POST I, the exercise was an unqualified success. All objectives 

were met or exceeded. Training accomplishments of the 157th 

Tactical Control Group were of a scope never before realized in field 

training. This exercise participation, coupled with continuation of 

increased readiness (COMBAT BEEF) status, contributed to the high 

state of readiness attained by units of the 157th. 

GEEIA Squadrons (AFLC/GEEIA) 

The 17 ANG 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. Realistic training was obtained at Air 

Force bases and ANG sites by installing and repairing fixed ground 

C&E equipment and systems during annual field training periods. 

Practical training was obtained during unit training assembly (UTA) 

periods by repairing Air Force C&E equipment which was then 

returned to depot stock for issue to active units. 

During the past few years, the ANG GEEIA Squadrons have 

earned acceptance of their potential by working on hundreds of 

USAF programmed projects while in a training status. A typical 

example of the training accomplished this year was the complete 

dismantling of a high performance search radar system at Vandenberg AFB. This equipment was to be installed in Puerto Rico by 

ANG GEEIA units during the next Fiscal Year. 

Weather Units (Air Weather Service (MAC)) 

A new Guard Weather Flight was organized at Boston, Massachusetts, to provide weather support services to the 26th Infantry 

Division. 

Nine flights provided augmentation to Air Weather Service by 

performing their annual field training at active Air Force locations. 

Twenty-two flights provided complete weather support to ANG flying 

units during field training exercises and seven flights provided support to ARNG priority divisions at Army training locations. 

Navigation Aids 

The ANG operated and maintained Tactical Air Navigation 

(TACAN) equipment at six ANG locations which provided navigational assistance and safety of flight operations in support of ANG 

missions and to civil aviation. 

Base Communications 

AUTOVON (Automatic Voice Network)—The installation of common user AUTOVON services to the ANG was better than 95 percent 

complete. Programming action has been initiated for special grade 

AUTOVON circuits to support FY 1969 and 1970 ANG requirements. 

AUTODIN (Automatic Data Network)—Data communications for 

the ANG moved from the planning and programming stage into the 

testing phase. Three test sites were in operation with four additional test locations scheduled for installation early in FY 1969. 

The system was an interim measure using a modified transceiver 

type of operation capable of 12 cards per minute and introducing 

data into the AUTODIN via refile. 
56 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

Crypto—Actual construction of cryptographic facilities at selected ANG ADC, MAC, and TAC gained bases began and will 

proceed through FY 1970. When facilities are completed, limited 

crypto accounts will be established. 

Comm Fits (Support)—Base communications equipment formerly in T/A-660 has been transferred to T/A-416 and authorized to 

the Comm Fit (Spt). 

Talking Bird—The ANG C-97E Talking Bird aircraft participated 

in Exercise Guard Strike I and flew five other missions in support 

of active USAF requirements. 

AIR SYSTEMS AND LOGISTICS 

Supply and Services 

Aircraft within the ANG have been maintained with an average 

NORS (not operationally ready, supply) rate equal to and well below 

the acceptable standard of five percent established by Air Force. 

During the month of April, the three Tactical Reconnaissance 

Squadrons which had been mobilized attained the lowest average 

NORS rate ever achieved for RF-101 aircraft. This reflects favorably 

upon the ANG since these units were supported by non-mobilized 

ANG supply accounts. NORS rates for the month of May averaged 

1.9 percent, the lowest since June of 1966 when the overall average 

was only 1.7 percent. The age of our aircraft, Vietnam's demands 

on the logistical systems, and fund limitations which prevented 

procurement of some replacement items, seriously complicated the 

problems of support. Notable is the State of Hawaii, where the 

154th Fighter Group maintained a zero NORS rate for their F-102s 

for more than two years. 

Despite the lack of modern Automatic Data Processing Equipment (ADPE), the Air National Guard Supply System was able to 

implement the Air Force Recoverable Assembly Management System (AFRAMS) thereby insuring equitable and timely redistribution 

of recoverable assemblies and providing a sound basis for procurement and repair. This required a major modification of USAF ADP 

procedures to make them compatible with ANG PCAM accounting 

methods. This was accomplished without compromising the validity 

of ANG inputs to the total Air Force system. 

Improvement was made in the control of base level inventories 

by the addition of a computing and multiplying device (CAM) to the 

ANG data processing machine package. This new device provided 

a rapid and accurate method of computing base stock levels with 

significant savings in manpower. 

Request for implementation of the Monetary Clothing Allowance 

for the Air Reserve Forces was submitted to the Air Staff in June 

of FY 1967. Although the request received favorable consideration 

from the Air Staff, coordination could not be completed in time 

for FY 1968 implementation. Indications for the adoption of this 

program in FY 1969 were favorable. 

A continuing aggressive equipment management program resulted in several improvements in the ANG equipment position. 

The review and updating of equipment allowance documents were 

accomplished jointly by the NGB, AFLC, and the respective gaining 

commands. ANG technicians participated in these reviews to assure that quantities and types of equipment authorized were adequate to support the missions. These reviews, conducted for both 

the flying and non-flying units, assured a continued level of equipment allowances and support for the ANG. 

As a result of the recent reorganization and mission change of 

Mobile Communications units, a special review of equipment requirements was conducted. Equipment allowances were revised to 

support the new organization/mission, and the necessary redistribution of equipment was initiated. 

To provide a mobile capability for ANG Photographic Reconnaissance technical Squadrons, many changes to photo equipment 

authorizations were made. These changes resulted from a special 

study conducted by HQ TAC and the NGB. Approval of these 

authorizations was granted by AFLC during the worldwide review 

of photo equipment requirements conducted at Hill AFB, Utah, in 

May 1968. 

During Fiscal Year 1968, a joint effort between the NGB and 

AFLC resulted in a considerable improvement in the receipt of 

critical munition loading equipment. The only item remaining in 

short supply of a limiting nature was the MJ-1 Bomb Lift. AFLC 

estimated that total ANG requirements for this item would be 

satisfied by 1 January 1969. Additionally, personal radio locator 

beacons which were short last year were received as programmed. 

Vehicles 

During FY 1968, 505 new vehicle allocations were provided the 

ANG. Many of these vehicles had been delivered, and the balance 

expected to be received by the end of the calendar year. Receipt 

of these allocations will allow the phase out of some of the older, 

expensive-to-repair vehicles. Overall, the ANG vehicle fleet was in 

good condition particularly as a result of the more than 3,000 

vehicles which entered the inventory during the past two fiscal 

years. As FY 1968 ended, vehicular allowances for tactical control 

and mobile communications units were under study in an effort to 

align authorizations with changing missions. 

Propulsion Systems 

During FY 1968, more than 1,000 jet and reciprocating engines 

were cycled through overhaul facilities. The ANG J-33 engine repair 

facility at Key Field, Mississippi, continued to satisfactorily support 

engine requirements at 50 bases assigned T-33 aircraft. Soaring 

consumption of J57 engines in Vietnam continued to cause shortages in the ANG, but management of available engines prevented 

widespread grounding of the aircraft. 

Maintenance Engineering 

During FY 1968, depot level maintenance programs were accomplished on 19 C-124 aircraft, 5 C-121s, 91 F-102s, 13 F-105s, 19 

KC-97s, 20 C-97s, 55 F-lOOs, and 14 C-54s. There aircraft were all 

processed through contractor facilities except the F-lOOs which 

were worked at an AFLC depot. 

The on-base IRAN (Inspection and Repair As Necessary) by 

contractor field team (CFT) was continued this Fiscal Year on 

F/RF-84 and RB-57 aircraft. A total of 107 F-84Fs was completed. 

The work accomplished consisted of cockpit and nose section 

rewire and corrosion control and treatment. The F-84F developed 

some ailments, the most prominent being cracked down-lock ribs. 

Repair necessitated removing each rib (approximately 200 manhours) and shipping it to the depot for rework. The Hawaii ANG 

completed IRAN on eight F-102 aircraft this Fiscal Year. The work 

was accomplished by contract field team at the Hawaii ANG facility. 

The reconfiguration of the F-101 aircraft from fighter to reconnaissance was completed during FY 1968. 

During the year, ANG received the remainder of the F-104 aircraft to convert the Puerto Rico unit from F-86H aircraft. A modified depot level maintenance program, by CFT, was established for 

the F-104 aircraft, and eight were completed. The conversion of 

the Puerto Rico ANG to F-104 aircraft released F-86H aircraft for 

reassignment. These aircraft equipped with air-to-air missiles were 

reassigned to the 175th Tactical Fighter Group, Baltimore, Maryland. 

A project was established at the permanent field training site, 

Travis Field, Savannah, Georgia to remove the missile capability 

from some aircraft and install it on later model F-86s. Thus, the 

175th Tactical Fighter Group retained some aircraft as well as 

receiving aircraft from Puerto Rico. 

The facility at Meridian, Mississippi for limited IRAN on T-33 

aircraft was closed after completing 10 aircraft. The basic work 

package consisted of inspection and replacement of all deteriorated 

wiring in the aft section, plenum chamber, dive brake area, wheel 

wells, cockpit and nose sections. In addition to this basic package, 
Chief, National Guard Bureau 57 
58 Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1968 

corrosion inspection and treatment, painting of underside of the 

fuselage, all outstanding time compliance technical orders, and all 

flight safety items were accomplished. The work was accomplished 

by a civilian contractor field team under the watchful eyes of ANG 

assurance personnel. 

During the year, 16 RF-84F and 16 F-84F aircraft, returned from 

overseas, were assigned to the ANG. These aircraft, shipped by surface transportation, were offloaded at a Gulf seaport and trucked to 

the 117th Tactical Reconnaissance Group, Birmingham, Alabama. 

It was necessary to uncrate and recondition the aircraft before reassigning them to flying units. This work was being accomplished by 

contractor field personnel and the maintenance personnel of the 

117th Tactical Reconnaissance Group. Five aircraft were reconditioned and reassigned; the remainder were to be completed in 

FY 1969. 

During the year, ANG units started daily reporting to Air Force 

Logistics Command (AFM 65-110) of status and flying hours on aircraft. Previous to this, Guard units reported status every 10 days 

and flying hours monthly. 

Aircraft Inventory 

On 30 June 1968, the Air National Guard aircraft totaled 1,430 

as compared to 1,811 on 30 June 1967. The major portion of the 381 

decrease for the year came from the 328 aircraft mobilized with 

the 14 flying units. 

Two Tennessee units, Nashville and Memphis, completed conversion to the C-124s, and three more C-97 units, 137th and 138th 

Military Airlift Groups located at Oklahoma City and Tulsa, respectively, and 157th Military Airlift Group at Pease AFB, New Hampshire, converted to C-124s making a total of nine units now assigned 

larger cargo capability aircraft. 

Twenty-one F/TF-102A ANG aircraft were provided to a MAP 

project the last six months of the year. 

CIVIL ENGINEERING 

Major Construction (P 321) 

As in FY 1967, the FY 1968 Air National Guard Military Construction (MCP) was limited by increased requirements of the Southeast 

Asia situation, and ANG construction met only minimum requirements. Forty MCP projects in 23 States were approved. In addition, 

13 projects in nine States were approved from prior year programs. 

Funds authorized and appropriated for the FY 1968 MCP totaled 

$9.8 million. As of 30 June 1968, a total of $10.4 million had been 

obligated on major construction projects. This figure included 

funds obligated from both current and prior fiscal years. 

Planning (P 313) and 

Minor Construction (P 341) 

In addition to the $9.8 million authorization for major construction, an additional $700,000 was made available to the ANG under 

continuing authorization for planning and minor construction. Funds 

in the amount of $600,000 were allocated for project planning. 

$869,000 was actually obligated for planning purpose and $107,000 

for minor construction. Again, these figures represent obligations 

against both current and prior fiscal years. 

Major Repair and Minor 

Construction (P 449) 

Approximately 1,500 major repair and minor construction projects were submitted to NG-AFE by the States. Of these requests, 

a total of 625 projects were approved at a cost of $3.1 million. 

The obligation rate as of 30 June 1968 was 99.16 percent. 

Real Estate 

The total value of real estate administered by the ANG as of 

30 June 1968 was $360 million. This included a total of 91 flying 

bases and 52 non-flying bases. As the map on page 51 indicates, 

there is at least one flying base located in each of the 50 States. 

Sixty-nine of these bases share facilities with civilian activities on 

State, municipal and county airports. Fourteen are located on 

active USAF bases and four on Naval Air Stations. On the four 

additional bases, the ANG acts as either sole occupant or host on 

USAF property. The 52 non-flying bases are located in 29 States. 

These bases normally receive their civil engineering support from 

the nearest ANG flying base. 

Operation and Maintenance 

The normal operation and maintenance of ANG facilities were 

provided by means of Operations and Maintenance agreements 

between the various States and the Federal government. These 

agreements provided support for utilities, communications, routine 

maintenance and repair of facilities, security, airport use fees, and 

direct and overhead labor costs associated with these functions. 

The cost incurred by these agreements was normally shared on a 

75 percent Federal/25 percent State ratio. The FY 1968 total Federal 

funding obligation in support of these agreements was $9.9 million. 

Utilization of Mobilized Unit Facilities 

Upon mobilization, ANG units were visited by a combined 

TAC/NGB team to provide staff assistance and to negotiate Memoranda of Agreement between TAC and the States concerned in 

making the ANG facilities available to TAC while remaining under 

the control of the States. Facility support was continued under the 

terms of the existing Air Service Contract, except modification 

provided for 100 percent funding support by NGB. The above 

actions were taken in accordance with AFM 45-2 and TACM 45-1. 

Similar actions were taken with MAC in connection with the 

mobilization of the single MAC units. 

ANG Assumption of Base Host 

Responsibilities 

Effective 1 July 1968, the ANG units became host to the USAF 

at Dow AFB, Maine, Truax Field, Wisconsin, and Portland International Airport, Oregon. At the first two bases, ANG became host 

to ADC, and at Portland, CAC became the tenant. The ANG units 

will perform host functions to the USAF units at these installations, and host-tenant agreements were negotiated between the 

units with staff assistance from NGB personnel. 

Installation of BAK-12 Arresting Barriers at 

Municipal Airports 

During the past year, considerable difficulty was experienced 

in obtaining Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) acceptance of 

BAK-12 barriers on municipal airports. Although most FAA Regional 

Offices approved plans and specifications for installation, FAA 

Washington would not accept the installation after completion of 

construction. After a series of conferences between ANG and FAA, 

agreement was made to construct a system at the new Jacksonville, 

Florida International Airport with all FAA Regional Directors, FAA 

Washington, USAF and ANG on site to make necessary changes to 

meet their requirements. This on-site inspection and design revision was a major step toward resolution of this problem. Although 

minor problems existed, satisfactory resolutions were in sight. 
Chiel, National Guard Bureau 59 

Reorganization of Air Force Regional 

Civil Engineer Offices 

In July 1967, the Air Force Regional Civil Engineers (AFRCE) 

were reduced from five to four offices with the consolidation of 

the Ohio River Region into the Dallas Office, and the creation of a 

new office in HQ SAC to handle the four States of Wyoming, 

Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. On 1 July 1968, further 

consolidation took place with the North Atlantic Regional Office at 

New York consolidating functions with the South Atlantic Regional 

Office at Atlanta, Georgia. 

By Air Force Office of Civil Engineering (AFOCE) memorandum 

dated 14 June 1968, the AFRCE offices were further reorganized by 

revising the management of the Military Construction Program. 

This action was in the form of transferring the AFRCE responsibility for construction surveillance to the major commands. Design 

responsibility remained with the AFRCE. As recognized, this split 

responsibility for design and construction surveillance could have 

an ultimate serious impact on ANG construction. 

Standard Definitives 

The Air Civil Engineering Division worked closely with theContinental Air Command to develop standardized definitive drawings which would meet the unique requirements of the Reserve 

Forces. An initial review of all definitives was completed by OSD. 

Final drawings were submitted to HQ USAF, ANG and CAC, and 

were submitted to OSD for final approval during August 1968. These 

definitives were being used as guides for ANG MCP projects. 

Jacksonville International Airport, Florida 

A contract was awarded for construction of the $4.8 million ANG 

installation at the new Jacksonville International Airport during 

September 1968. Construction was proceeding on schedule, and 

completion was expected during October 1968. As of 30 June 1968, 

progammed facilities appeared to be well within the authorized 

ceiling. 

ANG NCO Academy 

In October 1967, the decision was made to establish an ANG 

NCO Academy at McGhee-Tyson ANG Base, Knoxville, Tennessee. 

In order to accommodate the Academy staff and students, repair, 

maintenance, or alteration of several buildings was required. Twenty 

classrooms and six offices were provided in three existing buildings. These buildings were partitioned, painted and air conditioned. 

Six dormitories were repaired and painted; the mess hall was 

painted and air conditioned.

1 November 1967, contains policies, procedures, and instructions to 

support implementation of mechanized ANG FMDS procedures. It 

prescribes the base level preparation and submission of all mechanized base flight management records and reports, in addition to 

all aircraft and equipment status reports which are applicable to 

the ANG. 

SUPPLY 

ANGR 67-09, Mobility Equipment Monitor System, 1 August 1967, 

establishes a system for monitoring mobility equipment change 

proposals submitted by ANG/TAC gained flying units. 

ANGR 67-1, Use and Loan of Property Issued to the National 

Guard, 30 June 1967, prescribes policies and procedures governing 

the use and loan of military property issued to the National Guard 

by the United States. 

ANGM 67-10, Equipment Management Manual for Commanders 

and Property Custodians, 9 November 1967, designed to acquaint 

commanders, directors, staff officers, supervisors, and property 

custodians with the NGB methodology for management of Air Force

ANG each fiscal year. This revision places a maximum limitation 

on the amount of AFTPs that may be authorized; authorizes the 

commanders to supplement this regulation to insure adequate 

control of the AFTP program; clarifies the requirements for members participating in AFTPs; and changes the pay period from 

quarterly to monthly. This publication was revised to conform to 

the changeover to the Air Reserve Forces centralized pay system 

which became effective 1 January 1968. 

ANGR 53-02, Service Schools and Related Training, 10 August 

1967, superseded ANGR 53-02, 28 February 1964. The revised publication was required to reflect various school administration changes 

which have occurred during the past year. 

UTILITIES OPERATION AND SERVICES 

ANGR 91-13, Installed Petroleum Storage, Distribution and Dispensing Facilities, 24 November 1967. The 15 August 1966 regulation was rewritten to update the policies and procedures governing 

the maintenance and repair of permanently installed petroleum 

storage, distribution and dispensing systems. The dating was 

necessitated by revision of AFM 85-16, as well as new guidelines 

on cleaning fuel tanks, changeover from one type of fuel to another, 

fuel storage and bacterial growth in fuel tanks.

APPENDIX N 

National Guard in Civil Disturbances 

During Fiscal Year 1968 

The Army and Air National Guard has a dual State-Federal status, but it is never on both State and Federal duty at the same time. 

When a Guard unit is ordered to active duty by its State Governor, it is under his command and is paid from State funds. When called 

to active duty by the President, it is on Federal active duty and is paid from Federal funds. The President's call to active duty supersedes that of a Governor.
