ANNUAL REPORT/CHIEF, NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU 

FISCAL YEAR 1963 

Departments of the Army and the Air Force 

National Guard Bureau 

Washington 25, DC, 30 June 1963 

To THE SECRETARIES OF THE ARMY AND AIR FORCE: 

The annual Report of the Chief, National Guard Bureau, for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1963, 

is respectfully submitted. This marks the conclusion of my four-year tour as Chief of the Bureau, and 

of my career as a citizen-soldier which began on the Mexican Border over 47 years ago. 

I gratefully acknowledge the continued support of The President and of The Congress of the United 

States; the Departments of Defense, the Army, and the Air Force; the Governors and the military departments of the several States, Puerto Rico, and District of Columbia. 

Ten years ago the States, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia were rebuilding their Army and 

Air National Guard units following the Korean War, an emergency to which the Guard had committed 

183,600 of its members. Across the 38th parallel Guardsmen had taken their stand. They had flown 

MIG alley. Many lost their lives at such places as Pork Chop Hill and Heartbreak Ridge. Major units 

manned positions in Europe and some served here in the Continental United States. 

ByJuly of 1953, as these citizen-soldiers and airmen began their return home, the strength of the 

uninducted Army and Air National Guard totalled only about 291,500. However, within four years, the 

total strength of the Guard had increased by 1 April 1959 to above 500,000, the highest strength in 

Guard history. Over the five year period covering fiscal years 1958 through 1962, the average strength 

of 400,000 authorized by the Congress for the Army National Guard was almost precisely maintained. 

The strength of the Air Guard has with difficulty been kept down to budgetary strength ceilings. 

As our history reflects, in the years intervening since the Korean War the Army Guard was twice 

reorganized nation-wide adjusting to a reduction of several hundred units, an average authorized strength 

of 400,000, and a requirement for increased mobilization readiness. The Air Guard achieved an increased 

strength and an immediate mobilization readiness capability. Their aircraft and missions were progressively changed to meet the needs of the active Air Force. 

During the decade between 1953 and 1963, training facilities were provided by the construction or 

rehabilitation of 1,374 armories supported by $167.7 million of Federal appropriations and an equal 

amount of State funds. Non-armory maintenance, repair and storage facilities and field training structures 

were provided at a Federal cost of $30.6 million, while airbase improvements for the Air Guard totaled 

$200,400,000. 

Fiscal year 1963 will be remembered for the successful reorganization of the Army Guard divisions to the ROAD concept. Concurrently reorganization of the non-divisional units composing the new 

troop basis was affected to provide those units to meet the requirements of the Army's joint contingency 

war plans. New Army National Guard troop lists were submitted to the Governors of all States, Puerto 

Rico, and the District of Columbia in January 1963, and the reorganization thereunder, following acceptance by the States, by May of 1963. 

The reorganization, and the task of rebuilding those Army and Air units demobilized following the 

Berlin Crisis, brought many problems to the States. But sure of its purpose, and sustained by the faith 

of the Nation, the National Guard, both Army and Air, looks confidently to the future. 

". . . for three centuries soldiers in war, civilians in peace—of security and honor, they are the custodians, now and forever ... "

While a substantial sum, this represents less than 1.5 percent of the entire FY 1963 Department of 

Defense appropriation. 

Yet through the unique Federal-State partnership which characterizes the National Guard, these annual appropriations have made possible the development and maintenance of a significant portion of U.S.

essential service in peacetime as well.

A Decade of Progress 

SO GRADUALLY that only in retrospect are its full dimensions discernible, the National 

Guard has undergone a massive, all-pervading transformation in the decade since the Korean 

War. This change began even before Korea but the events which really forced it to gather momentum have occurred in the past 10 years. In this period the Guard has climbed laboriously to 

a level of military competency that prewar leaders of U.S. military thought would have considered 

unattainable. 

Step by step, it has moved across the hazy boundaries that separate the near-amateur from 

the near-professional to the full professional. With a final shove from the President and the Secretary of Defense at the time of the 1961 Berlin Crisis, the Guard became an acknowledged part of 

the Nation's forces-in-being, and a plus-factor in the conduct of foreign relations, as contrasted 

with its former, less important role, as a framework upon which to hang an all-out mobilization. 
Formation of Texas ANG Air Defense Interceptors 

Not only just methods and techniques, but whole 

concepts, have been hauled out, minutely studied, 

then discarded or radically altered, to keep the Army 

and Air Guard in step with the drastic changes in 

modern warfare itself. The basic militia concept of 

part-time soldiers who serve both State and Nation 

has remained intact, but virtually all else has been 

altered to a greater or lesser extent. 

Most obvious, of course, has been the change in 

externals, such as equipment, facilities and organizational structures. Of greater significance has been 

the change in such all important factors as the 

Guard's prestige, its heightened view of its own defense role, new patterns of personal motivation, and 

even in the Active Forces' attitude toward these 

parttime members of the family, all of which have 

been raised higher than ever before. 

The retirement plan for Guardsmen and other 

reservists, though written into law between World 

War II and the Korean conflict, had its real effect 

after Korea. It was of major importance because its 

adoption told Guradsmen officially, for the first 

time, that they and their continued, lifelong involvement in military activities constituted a military 

asset of considerable value to the Nation. It put 

Guardsmen on somewhat the same plane as the professionals; consequently, it made them think of 

themselves as, at least, semi-pros. 

A few years later came another measure which 

accentuated the Guard's increasingly professional 

nature by giving its officers a career progression 

system which paralleled the one developed for the 

Regulars. This was "ROPA"—the Reserve Officer 

Personnel Act—whose time-in-grade and mandatory 

promotion provisions have helped insure a self-perpetuating vitality among the Guard's commissioned 

leaders. 

"RFA" (Reserve Forces Act) active duty training came into being in 1955, and became mandatory 

for new Guardsmen in 1957. The change it has 

wrought in the intervening years is almost incalculable. It has subjected every Guard recruit to a brief 

but intensive period of fulltime training under 

skilled Army and Air Force instructors who devote 

themselves wholly to the task, turning out men with 

a consistently good grasp of the military essentials. 

Four noteworthy benefits have flowed from its application. First, it has provided solid, useful training 

for Guard beginners. Second, it indirectly has 

brought greater standardization to training, to administrative procedures, to maintenance, to supply 

techniques, etc. Third, it, like retirement and ROPA, 

has helped solidify the Guardsman's view of himself 

and his unit as effective, professional elements of 

the defense structure. Fourth, and in reality the sum 

of all the others, it has enabled all units to concentrate on team, as opposed to individual, training, 

shortening to a major degree, the time a unit must 

have after mobilization to whip itself into battlefield 

shape. 

The "technician" concept, with trained, capable, 

reliable Guardsmen working fulltime in administration, supply, maintenance, and training, in place of 

the pre-World War II underpaid, sprinkling of "care-
takers," who attempted to keep the Guard's affairs 

in order between drills, really came into being right 

after the war, but has made great strides since Korea. The Guard's technician force now numbers 

nearly 37,000—22,600 on the Army side, 15,000 on 

the Air. But the skill, dependability, devotion, pay, 

and essentiality of its individual members have also 

been on the increase since Korea. Today, with an 

average wage well above $6,000 per year, increased 

fringe benefits, and a retirement program in the 

making, the technicians are recognized as the foundation on which much else has been erected. 

Officer Candidate Schools started to spring up 

after the Korean War. Today, there's one in virtually 

every State. Patterning their training methods and 

curricula after Active Army schools at Ft. Benning, 

Ga., and Ft. Sill, Okla., they provide a reliable source 

for new lieutenants whose professional education is 

identical in the important respects with that of active officers. In -recent years, the Guard schools 

have turned out slightly more than 2,000 new officers 

a year. Now, with ROPA losses climbing, the goal 

has been raised.

Federal financial support for construction of 

Guard armories and air base facilities also got its 

real start after Guardsmen came home from Korean 

War service, although the principle of Federal support had been accepted earlier. Since then, an infusion of some 197,130,000 Federal dollars, augmented 

by smaller but still-sizeable outlays by the States, 

has produced nearly 1,400 new armories, and innumerable shops, storage areas, and equipment concentration sites for the Army Guard. It's harder to pin 

a dollars-and-cents figure to the Air Guard construction program because Air Guard and Air Force facilities so frequently overlap and intermingle. It's 

enough to say that the Air Guard now operates at 92 

modern, well-equipped flying bases and 43 non-flying installations. 

The direct benefits of this program have been 

immense, as any old-timer can tell you who had to 

"make do" in the tar-paper shacks, floorless sheds, 

and unheated shanties, that once qualified as armories and hangars. 

But over the long haul, here again the chief gain 

was an intangible one that doesn't lend itself to exact 

measurement. It gave Guardsmen a new feeling of 

self-respect, and upgraded the Guard's importance 

in their eyes. It accentuated the growing awareness 

that Militia troops, on the ground or in the air, could 

be as modern and progressive as the Army and Air 

Force whose uniforms they wore. 

Reorganization, too, played its part in creating 

this new image and reality of the Guard as an up-todate fighting force. When the Army Guard rebuilt 

its Divisions along Pentomic lines in 1959 and again 

when it "went ROAD" last spring—disruptive and 

difficult though these reorganizations were—the 
Guard's boundless adaptability was again demonstrated at the same time that its structural homogeneity with the Army was increased. 

Reorganization hit the Air Guard too, and it was 

as extensive in its way, if not so widely publicized. 

Unlike their Active Air Force counterparts, Air Guard 

squadrons are scattered on bases far from the administrative-logistics assistance which their wing 

support structure can give. Thus, prior to this reorganization they had to build two organizations at 

once—one that could function at home base on its 

own, without constant aid from the wing, termed 

"augmented squadrons," and one that could blend 

quickly and easily into the traditional Air Force 

one-wing, one-base method of operating, in case 

of callup. This problem was solved by the recent 

reorganization to the wing-group set-up. Now, augmented squadrons have become groups that operate 

somewhat like small wings—capable of independent 

operation at scattered bases and yet able to melt 

into the Air Force set-up with no trouble. 

But more than any reorganization, any conversion, any outside contribution, the factor that boosted 

the Air Guard to its elite status among the Reserve 

Components was the determination of its postwar 

leaders that it would never again become a mere wartime "filler pool" for the Air Force. 

The Air Guard's days were numbered, members 

of this far-seeing group of Guardsmen foresaw, unless it could live down the widely-prevalent reputation of its elements as mere "flying clubs," or "fortyeight little Air Forces." 

Their insistence on building units which could 

be ordered to duty as units, and could function effectively in combat as units, let in a few crowded years 

to the development of just such a force, and finally, 

in the days immediately following Korea, to Air 

Force acceptance of the principle of unit integrity. 

This gave Air Guardsmen a massive injection of that 

magic medicine called "Unit Pride." The results have 

far surpassed anyone's expectations—except their 

own! In the decade that followed this surmounting of 

the past, their esprit grew until some suspected it bordered on sheer cockiness. Then came the Berlin Crisis, and the airmen proved their point. Not only did 

they think they were good; they were good—better 

than their Air Force mentors had realized. 

Overnight they swung into fulltime operation 

and staged history's largest and most successful jet 

deployment to Europe, took on extensive responsibilities at home, and otherwise performed like the 

professionals they'd earlier set out to become. 

The assignment of fulltime missions to the Guard 

after Korea gave a lift to the entire National Guard, 

even though it directly involved only a comparative 

few. With Guardsmen manning anti-aircraft guns, 

then missiles, near American cities, and Guardsmen 

standing by their jets around the clock to repel air 

attack, Guardsmen in the mass could feel a more intense personal interest in the functioning of U.S. defenses because some of their own were on the job 

too. 

From those days in the early '50s when the first 

gun crews took up their night-and-day vigil and the 

first pilots went roaring off the runways to intercept 

unidentified planes, Guard involvement in the dayto-day defense of the Nation has been greatly 

expanded. What once was a handful of planes and 

crews on 14-hour-per-day alert now has become a 

fleet of 27 squadrons, with planes and crews on tap 

every hour, every day. What started as scattering of 

batteries manning 90mm guns during daylight hours 

only, upon completion of the current program, will 

be a network of 54 on-site HERCULES batteries 

guarding vital U.S. cities and strategic installations 

in 17 States.

More significant, these are not "second-best" 

units in any sense of the word. Last year, Guard 

NIKE units won 11 of the 12 top awards given by the 

U.S. Army Air Defense Command for top performance and this year again took the top two firing 

awards in competition with all-Active Army and National Guard missile units in ARADCOM. Last year 

also, Air Guard pilots standing runway alert with 

their F89Js and F102s zoomed into the sky on more 

than 23,000 occasions to make intercepts for the 

North American Air Defense Command, and one 

squadron, Pittsburgh's 146th Fighter Interceptor 

Squadron, won the Air Defense Command's coveted 

"A" Award for all-around superiority. 

But this is not the only fulltime assignment the 

Guard performs. In addition, air crews from 25 ANG 

squadrons are ranging over the whole face of the 

earth, hauling sizeable cargo loads for Military Air 

Transport Service at the same time that they train 

for wartime service in strategic airlift. On almost 

any given day, one—or more—of the Guard's giant 

C-97 "Stratocruisers" or C-121 "Constellations" 

are winging their way to some distant foreign place. 

Five aircraft control and warning squadrons are 

manning their radar stations, day and night, in Hawaii, Utah, Colorado and Puerto Rico, as fulltime 

components of the air defense system. Three Army 

Guard battalions work five days a week plus overtime at repairing planes and helicopters, not just for 

the Guard but for the Army Reserve and the Active 

Army itself. State maintenance shops in several 

areas similarly perform higher-echelon maintenance on ground vehicles for other Army elements. 

Air Guard GEEIA squadrons put in regular 15-

day stints of training duty at such crucially-important installations as Cape Kennedy, where their 

professional knowledge is put to work at expanding 

permanent communications facilities of all types. 

In 10 States, a new breed of Army Guardsman, Special Forces expert, labors to acquire the wide range 

of live-or-die capabilities required for counter-guerrilla operations. In an ever-increasing drive to 

adapt the Guard more closely to the needs of the active services, Air Guard radar outfits, jets by the 

score, and Army Guard Special Forces teams, last 

summer played key roles in the U.S. Strike Command's largest exercise of the year, "SWIFT 

STRIKE III" in the Carolinas. 

These are some of the most dramatic of the 

changes that have come to the Guard, but there are 

others—many others—that have contributed to its 

transformation from "Ready Someday" to "Ready 
Now." They can be mentioned here only in the briefest way—but each by itself is worth pages of comment if its impact on the Guard is to be fully understood. They include: 

The 49th Armored Div. trains at Ft. Polk, La. 

• IN THE ARMY GUARD the introduction 

of frequent weekend assemblies in place of many evening drills, and the accompanying substitution or 

realistic, outdoor training "in the field" for much 

of the classroom learning that once dominated the 

armory year. 

• Activation of a greater number of supporttype units, to augment the Guard's own divisions as 

well as to "round out" the division forces of the 

Active Army on M-day. 

• Much heavier emphasis on regular doses of 

professional military schooling, through extension 

courses and by actual attendance at Active Army 

Service schools. 

• A higher level of unit manning, as represented in strengths that are now pegged at 70, 75 

and even 80 percent of full TOE. 

• Higher standards for membership, for both 

officer and enlisted man. 

• IN THE AIR GUARD the adoption of the 

gaining command concept of training supervision. 

This means that the Air Force command under which 

a unit would function in actual operations, supervises and assists it in its training throughout the year. 

• Conversion of approximately one-third of the 

Air Guard's hitherto all-jet fighter force to longrange transports as an adjunct to MATS. 

• "Texas Plan" year-round field training on a 

staggered basis. ANG Commanders may bring in 

sections, or even individuals, for field training on 

schedules that consider such factors as mission requirements, instructor availability, training opportunities with the USAF, and the Guardsman's own 

personal desires.

Out of all this ferment and change has grown the 

National Guard as it is today—more closely attuned 

to the Nation's needs than ever before, more professional in outlook, and more sophisticated in its 

awareness of the harsh necessities of the citizen-soldier's life in a half-Communist, half-Free World. 

It is a vastly different organization from the 

meagerly-supported entity which is now referred to 

nostalgically as the "Old Guard." Units which in 

an earlier period would have required four, six or 

even ten months of hard post-mobilization training to 

ready themselves for effective operations in combat 

in many cases today can top-off their training and 

make themselves ready for overseas deployment in 

as many weeks, and, in the case of the Air Guard, 

can be ready instantly. 

All this, of course, has not produced perfection. 

Much remains to be done before the Guard reaches 

the condition of operational-readiness that National 

security demands in today's threatening environment. Come a military emergency requiring the application of U.S. military power at some world trouble spot, and the Guard must perform the same function it did at the time of the Berlin Crisis—only more 

quickly! In the words of General Paul L. Adams, 

Commander-in-Chief of the powerful U.S. Strike 

Command, the National Guard must ". . . be prepared and ready, figuratively speaking, to march toward the front with us in an unbroken column." This 

is quite an order for the "raggedy militia" but if the 

past is any indication, and it usually is, the Guard 

should have no more trouble meeting this high level 

of capability. In the words of General Earle G. 

Wheeler, Army Chief of Staff, who recently said he 

found two factors to be constant concerning the National Guard: 

"First, as a military organization, it is consistently better than the materiel with which it is equipped. 

"Second, when the chips are down, the Guard 

will surmount whatever obstacles confront it and get 

the job done."

Organization and 

Administration 

MISSION OF THE NATIONAL GUARD 

The National Guard is rooted in the concept of the privilege and responsibility of our ablebodied citizens to be ready at all times to bear arms for the common defense. This tradition was 

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

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

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

In accordance with the traditional military policy of the United States, it is essential that the strength and organization of the Army National Guard and the Air National 

Guard as an integral part of the first line defenses of the United States be maintained 

and assured at all times. Whenever Congress determines that more units and organizations are needed for the national security than are in the regular components of the 

ground and air forces, the Army National Guard and the Air National Gaurd of the 

United States, or such parts of them as are needed, together with such units of other 

reserve components as are necessary for a balanced force, shall be ordered to active 

Federal duty and retained as long as so needed. 

While its Federal reserve potential has been strengthened, the National Guard of each State 

remains constitutionally a State-administrated military force. The dual State-Federal missions 

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

20-1. The State mission is to provide units organized, trained, and equipped that under competent 

orders of Federal or State authorities will provide protection of life and property and preserve 

peace, order and public safety. The Federal mission is to provide units with trained personnel 

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

national emergency to support the Army and Air Force. 13 
The Army National Guard in Our 

"One Army" 

The Army National Guard, an integral part of 

the first line defenses, complements the Active 

Army and supports the Army Missions as illustrated 

in the chart below. 

First are shown the Army's world-wide overseas commitments, in Europe, Southeast Asia, 

Middle East and Korea. 

Next are the Army Forces in Continental United 

States and those prepared for early deployment overseas. These include Air Defense Missile Units the 

eight division Strategic Army Corps (STRAC), and 

the support base for the entire Army. Organizations 

of the Army National Guard integrated with these 

first line defenses include: 

• Army National Guard Nike batteries with 

units of the Active Army in the "Round-the-CIock" 

defenses of key industrial areas. 

• Guard units rounding out the Strategic Army 

Corps.. The remaining National Guard units shown 

in the bottom are: 

• Six ARNG Division Forces of the Ready 

Reserve Strategic Army Force (STRAF) which will 

move up to replace STRAC Divisions as they are 

deployed overseas. 

• Two Special Mission Divisions programmed 

for employment in specific critical areas in support 

of war plans. 

• Eleven Infantry and four Armored Divisions 

together with the nondivisional combat, combat support and technical services units needed for full 

mobilization. 

Air National Guard: A Global Force 

Similarly, the 

and supports U. S. 

on the chart below. 

Air National Guard fits into 

Air Force missions as shown 

At the top are the Air Force's world-wide commitments, such as NATO, SEATO, Middle East, 

and the Far East. 

Next are shown the gaining commands to 

which Air Guard units are assigned upon mobilization. These include the Tactical Air Command 

(TAC), Air Defense Command (ADC)., Military 

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

(AFLC) and the Air Force Communications Service (AFCS). In addition, the Hawaii Air National 

Guard is committted to the Pacific Air Forces 

(PACAF) and one Air Guard communications unit 

is committed to the Air University at Maxwell Air 

Force Base, Alabama. 

The bottom line reflects the types of units comprising the ANG force structure. As the arrows indicate, some Air Guard units are serving in peacetime 

as integral elements of active Air Force commands. 

For instance, all ANG Fighter-Interceptor squadrons 

assigned to the Air Defense Command maintain a 

24-hour runway alert at all times under ADC control. Air Guard tactical squadrons perform peacetime missions for TAC. ANG Heavy Transports 

carry cargo for MATS. Air Guard Ground Electronics Engineering (GEEIA) Squadrons handle 

communications construction projects on USAF 

missile sites and other bases.

NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU 

The National Guard Bureau is both a staff and 

an operating agency. As the chart shows, it is a 

joint Bureau of the Departments of the Army and 

the Air Force. The Chief, National Guard Bureau, 

reports to the Secretaries of the Army and the Air 

Force through the respective Chiefs of Staff and is 

the principal staff adviser on National Guard affairs. 

As an operating agency, the National Guard 

Bureau is the channel of communication between 

the States and the Departments of the Army and the 

Air Force. 

The organization of the National Guard Bureau 

is shown on this chart. The offices of the Assistant 

Chief, Army National Guard, and the Assistant 

Chief, Air National Guard, are similarly organized 

into five divisions each. The Administrative Office 

and the Offices of the Legal Adviser, Public Affairs, 

and Policy and Liaison advise and assist the Chief, 

National Guard Bureau on both Army and Air 

matters.

The function of the National Guard Bureau is 

to formulate and administer a program for the 

development and maintenance of Army and Air 

National Guard units in the several States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the District of 

Columbia, in accordance with Departments of the 

Army and Air Force policy and the dual State and 

Federal missions prescribed in law and regulations.

The Chief of the National Guard Bureau is appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, from a list of National Guard 

officers recommended by the respective Governors, 

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

himself. The grade authorized for this position is 

major general. 

The former Chiefs of the National Guard Bureau 

and its predecessor organizations (Division of Militia Affairs, 1908-1916, and Militia Bureau, 1916-

1933) are listed in Appendix A. A roster of officers 

on duty in the National Guard Bureau as of 30

MANAGEMENT 

IMPROVEMENT 

Army National Guard 

Limited mechanization of Army National 

Guard records and reports through the use of intercoupled accounting and key punch machines proceeded satisfactorily throughout the several States 

during FY 1963. First tested in six States during the 

latter part of FY 1962, full implementation was 

achieved early this fical year. However, this punch 

Card Reporting System applied primarily to reports 

to the National Guard Bureau from the States. The 

major management problem of this year was to 

determine a method to expand the production of 

punched cards and provide the States the same 

mechanical statistical analysis capability. The solu-
tion mandated the use of punch card machine systems (PCMS) as being the most economical insofar 

as rental costs and personnel spaces were concerned. 

A basic PCMS would consist of printing key punch, 

verifying, sorting, collating, reproducing-summary 

and accounting machines. Depending upon the capability of the accounting machine, three or four persons would operate a PCMS of this type. Implementation of this plan will be subject to future funding. 

During the past fiscal year, the National Guard 

Bureau adopted procedures which will permit the 

mechanization of its Military Pay Voucher System. 

This system provides each Army National Guardsman with a copy of his entitlement and actual pay in 

the form of an individual voucher. The new procedures will permit preparation of punched cards 

and individual vouchers, unit rosters and reports 

therefrom, by Army Finance and Acounting Offices 

for the Army National Guard. The system was 

tested in one Army Area and found to be satisfactory. Army Regulations authorizing national 

implementation have been published and NGB 

Pamphlet 58-1 revision is expected to be published 

in Fiscal Year 1964. 

Implementation of the Enlisted Evaluation System 

(EES) was completed within the active Army in 

February 1962. This system provides an objective 

measurement of the qualifications and proficiency of 

the individual soldier against Army-wide standards. 

It is a two part system consisting of a written test 

designed to measure skill and knowledge in the 

MOS and the Commanders Evaluation Report (a 

rating form completed by the enlisted man's 

superior). 

In March 1962, the Chief, National Guard 

Bureau, expressed his view to the Deputy Chief of 

Staff for Personnel that adoption of EES by the 

Army National Guard was a matter of urgency. The 

Army National Guard method of determining MOS 

qualification solely by a joint evaluation of the unit 

commander and Advisor based on their knowledge 

of a man's capability and review of his records was 

not considered adequate. 

Steps were underway to implement the system 

in the Reserve Components in the last half of Fiscal 

Year 1964. A pilot test of the system was to be 

conducted by the active Army for selected Guard 

and USAR units in the Fifth Army Area in September 1963. Experience gained will be used to refine 

the AR which implements EES for the Reserve 

Components. 

Air National Guard 

A tailor-made opportunity was afforded during 

the period of this report to observe the effectiveness 

of one of the major steps taken by the National 

Guard Bureau to improve mobilization procedures. 

Previously, the major commands adopted an Air 

National Guard proposal that "mobilization" type 

unit manning documents be prepared on a quarterly 

basis for each Air National Guard unit in the same 

manner that UMD's are prepared for active units. 

Publication of such documents under AFR 26-5 was 

initiated by Tactical Air Command early during this 

period. This procedure became particularly important and timely during the Cuban crisis because each 

Air National Guard unit earmarked for possible 

call-up had available to it a "blueprint" for manning 

purposes should mobilization have occurred. Each 

Air National Guard unit involved in the accelerated 

training program preparatory to call-up had a clear 

understanding of its organizational as well as its 

manning commitments. At the same time, the major 

command was able to make preparations in advance 

for necessary "filler" personnel. Had it been necessary to call up the affected units, the United States 

Air Force would have gained fully combat qualified 

squadrons in "ready now" status. 

A plan to discard the "augmented" squadron 

concept of organization in favor of "group" status 

was also approved in FY 1963, and implemented for 

Air National Guard units assigned to Tactical Air 

Command. This action effectively eliminated several 

undesirable aspects of the former organization structure which depended heavily upon local augmentation of individual tactical squadrons separated from 

parent Wing Headquarters. 

The reorganization was completed for all Air 

National Guard units assigned to Tactical Air Command by 15 October 1962, thus rendering these 

units better prepared for possible use during the 

Cuban crisis. As had been anticipated, the new 

organization, incorporating the dual deputy concept 

of command, proved to be tremendously successful 

for the major command. It afforded far greater flexibility and selectivity in the manner in which Air 

National Guard units may be called to active duty. 

In fact, the Commander, Tactical Air Command, 

was so pleased with the newly established setup that 

he subsequently secured approval for reorganization 

of Air Force Reserve units assigned to Tactical Air 

Command in precisely similar manner. 
LEGISLATION 

Legislation Enacted

Public Law 88-577, the Department of Defense 

Appropriation Act for FY 1963. 

Public Law 88-684, the Military Construction 

Appropriation Act for FY 1963. 

Pending Legislation 

H.R. 2504. The bill provides for the retention 

in an active status of reserve commissioned officers, 

employed by the National Guard or reserve components as civilian technicians, who would otherwise be 

removed from an active status by reason of length of 

service or other attritive provisions, for a period of 

not to exceed two years if they could thereby qualify 

for an immediate annuity under a Federal or State 

retirement system covering their civilian employment. 

Makes permanent the recurring annual appropriation 

act provisions suspending the limitation on the grade 

of officers and the numbers in a "pool". Authorizes 

the use of technicians for the maintenance and repair 

of military property of the regular and reserve components. Correlates the compensation of technicians 

with that of Federal Civil Service employees in the 

same geographical locality. Provides retirement benefits for all National Guard technicians. Provides 

life insurance and health benefits to National Guard 

technicians. Credits full-time training duty performed by members of the National Guard under 

Federal authority for the purposes of the Federal 

Civil Service Retirement Act to the same extent as 

active duty for training performed by members of 

reserve components is now creditable. 

PUBLI C AFFAIR S 

The Public Affairs program of the National 

Guard Bureau has two goals—first to recruit and 

retain Army and Air Guard personnel and second, to 

plan and coordinate public relations activities on the 

national level. 

During FY 1963, because of the major personnel strength crises faced by the Army and Air National Guard, much of the effort of the Office of 

Public Affairs was directed toward producing materials for recruiting and retention. But increasing 

H.R. 2505. The bill would grant the same hospital and medical care, pay and allowances, and 

other benefits for members of the National Guard 

or reserve components who contract or aggravate a 

disease in line of duty while proceeding directly to 

or from, or performing, inactive duty training or 

active duty for 30 days or less as are now provided 

for such individuals while on duty for ordered 

periods of over 30 days. It would also grant the 

same entitlement to benefits to those National 

Guardsmen and reservists who are injured in line of 

duty while proceeding directly to or from inactive-' 

duty training or active duty as they would receive 

were the injury incurred during the scheduled period 

of training or duty. 

HR. 2512. The bill would clarify the authority 

of the respective service Secretaries to authorize 

training or duty, with or without pay, for units and 

members of the National Guard in addition to the 

48 unit assemblies and 15 days full time field training now specifically authorized. It would also clarify 

the status of members of the National Guard while 

attending or instructing at schools conducted by the 

National Guard, such as State Officer Candidate 

Schools. 

H.R. 6996. The bill will simplify the special 

enlistment programs by consolidating the authority 

for a single special enlistment program for all the 

Reserve components. It provides for the continuation of the so-called 6-month training program with 

modifications that will permit its Utilization by all 

the Reserve components and by providing a uniform 

Reserve obligation of 6 years. (Subsequently enacted into law as Public Law 88-110.) 

emphasis was also placed on national press and public relations. 

A total of $473,000 from Federal appropriations was expended during the fiscal year. Almost all 

of that amount was contracted to a commercial advertising agency for the development and production 

of print, radio and television materials to be distributed to the States and to stations throughout the 

country for free public service support for the Army 

and Air National Guard. 
SS^ M 

Printed Materials 

"Seniors and the Service," a comprehensive 

booklet on the alternatives for fulfilling military obligations directed at high school seniors, was produced and distributed in the amount of 200,000 

copies. This item proved so popular that two more 

printings were ordered during the year for a total of 

600,000 copies, including those printed for "Operation Big Push" (see chart). Other items printed and 

distributed to the States during the year included two 

sets of billboard posters and transit car cards, one 

on National Guard Special Forces and the other a 

composite Army and Air Guard poster using the

slogan "The Home Team Is Ready"; a reprint of 

the "Take Six" pamphlet, and 7,200 canvas Christmas banners for use on National Guard trucks helping the post office during the Christmas rush. 

"Operation Muster" 

An extensive recruiting campaign was launched 

in February called "Operation Muster." Spreading 

the drive over the entire month of February rather 

than the traditional Washington's Birthday observance, kits were mailed to State project officers; all 

radio and television stations; all newspapers; and 

leading businesses and industries. Project officer 

kits included complete instructions and materials 

for running a "Muster Day" campaign in the surrounding community; business and industry kits included a request for support from the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau and materials for use in in-house publications and business-sponsored ads in local media. 

And radio, television and press kits included various 

advertising and publicity materials appropriate to 

the media such as slides, clip sheets, recorded spot 

announcements, etc. 

"Big Push" 

As the strength crisis continued, "Operation 

Big Push" was launched to boost the recruiting 

drive. This was an all out effort to bring the National Guard's strength back to its authorized levels by the end of the fiscal year. Letters and press 

'releases announcing "Operation Big Push" were sent 

to the States, all radio stations, TV stations and 

newspapers, and to business and industry concerns. 

A personal letter from the Deputy Chief, NGB, went 

to every Air Guardsman who was scheduled for release during the fiscal year, urging him to reenlist. 

Dozens of items for recruiting and retention were 

produced or reprinted. The chart below shows these 

items which were printed and the numbers distributed to the States:

(". . . The Whites of Their Eyes"), is entitled "The 

Mississippi Rifles." It depicts what is now the 155th 

Infantry of the Mississippi National Guard in the battle of Buena Vista, Mexico, in 1847 during the 

Mexican War. 

Exhibits 

The mobile bus display depicting the role of the 

militia in the Civil War, which was constructed in 

1961 for use at battle re-enactments and other observances throughout the period of the Civil War 

Centennial, continued to tour the United States for 

display at fairs and other special events. During 

the year the bus was called back to the National 

Guard Bureau for reconditioning. In FY 1963 the 

Militia-Mobile appeared in eight States: Massachusetts, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, Maine, 

Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. 

The "SOLDIER—KEY TO LANDPOWER," 

an Active Army-National Guard display depicting 

the important role of the individual soldier in combat, also toured the States during FY 1963. The indoor exhibit was built by the U.S. Army Exhibit Unit 

and devoted one side generally to the role of the 

soldier and the other to the particular missions of the 

National Guard. In a demonstration of the One 

Army concept, active Army NCOs accompanied the 

exhibit and manned it side by side with National 

Guardsmen in the various States. From February 

through June 1963 the exhibit had toured 16 States 

and had been seen by a million and a half persons. 

As of 21 November 1963 the exhibit had toured 

44 States and been seen by 7,617,919 persons. 

Radio 

"Guard Session," the weekly 15-minute show 

distributed to radio stations for free public service 

programming, was sent on a monthly basis to some 

2200 stations in this its second successful year. This 

represents some 65% of all the radio stations in the 

United States. 

Listeners to "Guard Session," hosted by Martin 

Block, again this year heard some of the top names 

in show business. They include: 

Keely Smith and Count Basie 

Kingston Trio with Jonah Jones 

Joanie Sommers and Si Zentner 

Mel Torme with Shorty Rogers 

Abbe Lane with Xavier Cugat 

Rosemary Clooney and Les Brown 

Anita Bryant with Billy Maxted 

Nat King Cole

From these shows, selections were taken to 

form the 12-show summer series, "Guard Session 

All-Star Review." 

The Air Guard show, "Lombardoland, 

U.S.A.," was continued for the twelfth consecutive 

year on the Mutual Broadcasting System. 

The artists who recorded "Guard Session" contributed to a radio spot announcement record, singing National Guard "Jingles." These records and 

several sets of printed spot announcements were sent 

to all stations in the U.S. 

One of the "two little fellas" 

Television 

The third installment of the "two little fellas" 

animated spot announcement series, the first of which 

won high honors in the American Television Commercials Festival, was distributed to television stations and was widely used in FY 1963. 19 
Other Information Support 

Throughout the year, in the regular course of its 

activities, the Public Affairs Office handled numerous news releases, speeches, periodical and encyclopedia articles, and other materials cleared or released through the Departments of Army, Air Force 

and Defense. 

Representatives from the Public Affairs Office 

attended or provided information support to various 

conferences and events throughout the year, including the National Rifle and Pistol Matches at Camp 

Perry, Ohio. In addition, this year several National 

Guard officers with information or public relations 

experience spent short tours of active duty in the 

Office of Public Affairs performing various special 

projects for the National Guard public affairs program. 

TROPHIES AND AWARDS PROGRAM 

The purpose of the trophies and awards program is to instill a spirit of wholesome rivalry among 

individuals, units, and organizations of the Army 

and Air National Guard and to stimulate their interest in such activities as marksmanship, technical proficiency in training, and maintenance. To this end, 

trophies and awards are given annually by the Chief. 

National Guard Bureau, and other sponsoring agencies to outstanding personnel and units in both the 

Army and the Air National Guard. 

The National Guard Bureau is the coordinating 

agency for activities conducted under this program. 

Pamphlets and letters announcing trophy and award 

winners are published after each competition. Supplementary information is made available for release 

to the press. 

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

Army Area, and National levels under the sponsorship of affiliated organizations, including the Military 

Police Association, the National Rifle Association, 

the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, the National Guard Association of the United 

States, and the Association of the United States 

Army. In 1963, 23 State pistol teams and 39 State 

rifle teams composed of both Army and Air National 

Guard members participated in the National Matches 

held at Camp Perry, Ohio. 

The following trophies and awards are described in Appendix E:

REGULATIONS 

In the administration of National Guard affairs, 

National Guard Regulations and Air National Guard 

Regulations govern the National Guard when not 

in Federal service. These regulations announce the 

approved policies of the Department of the Army 

and Department of the Air Force pertaining to the 

Army and Air National Guard. Also, certain Army 

and Air Force Regulations govern the Army and 

Air National Guard when specifically applied by 

the Chief, National Guard Bureau. 

During the FY 1963, the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau, revised a number of existing regulaThe FY 1963 budget (programs 7413) for 

Department of the Army publications and blank 

forms was initially established at $1,000,000, and 

subsequently reduced to $865,000. The total obligation for the year was $863,600. Constant surveillance of actual, as opposed to desirable, requirements for Department of the Army publications was 

the governing factor which enabled the National 

Guard Bureau to operate within its reduced budget. 

Administration of the Armed Forces Qualification Tests (AFQT 5B and 6B) to all non-prior 

service personnel, which was prescribed by the 

Department of the Army in July 1962, created an 

increased cost through the procurement of required 

testing materials. 

The increasing importance of the role assumed 

by Army National Guard Nike-Hercules missile 

units, necessitated the implementation of "pinpoint" 

distribution. On 20 March, the States were authorized to implement this type of distribution for mission publications to those Army National Guard 

"on-site" and designated "on-site" Nike-Hercules 

units. Implementation of "pinpoint" distribution expedites receipt and insures a continuous flow of required series mission equipment publications to the 

units concerned. 

Stockage of publications and blanks forms required by AR 135-300 (Mobilization of Army Nations, covering administration, personnel, training 

and logistical matters. In addition, NGB Pamphlets 

and Air National Guard letters which amplify the 

regulations were revised. 

A new format was devised for National Guard 

Regulations and approximately one-third of these 

regulations have been revised and published in the 

large format. 

A detailed resume is contained in Appendix F. 

tional Guard of the United States and Army Reserve Units) was stressed. Particular emphasis was 

directed at "on-site" missile units and certain units 

designated by the Chief, National Guard Bureau. 

The publications and forms required to implement The Army Equipment Records System 

(TAERS) in the Army National Guard were initially 

distributed during the year. 

New and additional ROAD (Reorganization of 

Army Divisions) publications were furnished to each 

State in conjunction with the reorganization of the 

Army National Guard divisions. 

The chart below shows the budget and expenditures for Department of the Army publications and 

blank forms for fiscal years 1959 thorugh 1963. 

Requirements for Department of the Army publications and blank forms have continued to increase 

as new programs are implemented. Costs of publications and blank forms have also increased during 

the year. By continued study of actual Army National Guard requirements and elimination of nonessential items, this activity has been able to meet increased requirements. Implementation of additional 

programs during FY 1964 will necessitate additional funding support.

Snow Emergencies 

In mid-December, when 36 inches of snow tell 

over Northeastern Ohio, members of Company A, C 

and F of the 1st Medium Tank Battalion, 137th 

Armor, responded to requests for aid made by the 

Mayor of Conneaut and City Manager of Ashtabula. 

M4S tanks were used to aid in clearing the roads of 

snow and Stalled vehicles. Using jeeps and 2'/2-ton 

trucks the Guardsmen carried food, fuel, and emergency medical supplies to stranded families and individuals, and transported medical personnel to and 

from hospitals. At Painesville. State Highway Patrol 

Officials enlisted the aid of the Guard to clear Interstate 90, a main route along the lake front, where 

several hundred vehicles were stranded, including 

about 50 tractor-trailers and three Greyhound passenger buses. 

Safety Campaigns 

In Tennessee, a substantial reduction in the 

number of accidents on highways over the Thanksgiving holidays as compared with last year was to a 

large extent due to the Guard's contribution to the 

Statewide safe-driving campaign, a joint effort by 

Guardsmen. Highway Patrolmen and the Press. 

Throughout the holidays, the 30th Armored Division 

stationed 150 jeeps near intersections on major highways across the State. These jeeps displayed large. 

easy-to-read signs which warned motorists to "Save a 

life—Give Thanks For lives Saved." 

Mercy Mission 

In response to a request for emergency assistance, a Michigan Air National Guard C47 on a 

training mission was diverted to lly a badly-injured 

man to a hospital for an operation. Frank Washburn. 76. suffered a broken back when a tree he was 

sawing down fell on him, near Alpena, Michigan. 

He was paralyzed below the waist and needed an 

operation immediately. His doctor phoned the 127th 

Tactical Reconnaissance Wing at nearby Phelps 

Collins ANG Base for help. Within 10 minutes after 

the plane had landed the patient, strapped to I 

stretcher because of rough weather, was aboard the 

plane and on his way to Saginaw. An hour later 

the plane landed and was met by an ambulance team 

Captain K. W. Cosgroovc. 2d Lt. Dolores Buehlcr 

and two Aeromedical Evacuation technicians of the 

127th Tactical Hospital of the 127th Wing accompanied the patient. 

Forest Fires 

When 1.000 acres of woodlands on the slopes 

of Mt. Evans, Colo., 40 miles from Denver, were engulfed in flames in mid-September the National 

Guard was the only immediate source of manpower 

equipment to assist the small force of State lirelighters. Within one hour after they were called, 142 

officers and men from 10 units, plus an estimated 50 

to (it) volunteers, reported for duty. Twelve officers 

and 130 men from the 1st Howitzer Battalion. 157th 

Artillery, manned the lire line alongside Forest Service experts, civilians, and several contingents of 

especially trainee Indian firefighters from nearby 

States. Guardsmen from the 3650th Ordnance Company. 169th Artillery Group. 140th Signal Battalion, 

147th Surgical Hospital, and 217th Medical 

Battalion used Guard trucks to transport firefighters 

from base camp to the lirelines and manned field 

kitchens to feed over 500 firelighters and service 

crews. The men of the 1st Howitzer Battalion after 

two days and nights lighting the flames were relieved 

by civilian forces. The Guardsmen manning the field 

kitchens and driving the trucks operated ^n a 24-

hour schedule for nine days. 

Manhunt 

In Texas, a man. escaped from a hospital for 

the criminally insane, burglarized his brother's home. 

and tied with weapons and ammunition. He shot a 

deputy's horse and live blood hounds when 50 law 

officers started to close-in on the area where he was 
hiding. The Governor of Texas was asked to send 

a tank to aid in the search, but since their steel tracks 

would have torn up the roads, an armored personnel 

carrier with Captain John T. Lewis III, 1st Lt. Kenneth A. Holt, and Sgt. Bertis L. Mattlock from Company D, 386th Engineer Battalion, was made available. The law officers took cover behind the armored 

personnel carrier as it moved into the brush, and 

when they were within 2 feet of the man, he surrendered. A GI carbine, a .22 rifle, a shotgun, and seven 

knives were found where the man had been hiding. 

Disaster Duty 

On the morning of 13 October 1962, Major 

General William P. Wilson, Mississippi Adjutant 

General, and his staff set up a Command Post in the 

Natchez armory and a major portion of the Mississippi National Guard began a day-and-night effort in 

an unprecedented disaster duty—"Operation Chlorine"—at Natchez. "Never before had the Guard been 

assigned the tremendous task of planning and 

possibly executing the total evacuation of some 80,-

000 residents in 1,000 square miles. This was the 

second full-time duty in two months for these 

Guardsmen; some had been released from active 

Federal service for the Oxford, Mississippi, integration problems on 5 October and others were released 

on 13 October. 

The event which could have resulted in disaster 

for this area happened in March 1961. A river tug 

was towing 16 barges lashed together through the 

turbulent flooding river. The lead barge broke loose 

and sank 50 to 60 feet to the river bottom, carrying 

with it four tanks containing nearly 2,500,000 

pounds of chlorine liquified by pressure—more than 

all the war gases used by both sides in World War 

I. After months of study, efforts to recover the 

dangerous cargo had been abandoned. In July 1962, 

the matter was brought to the attention of a Congressional committee and Natchez was made aware 

of the danger. Corrosion and weakened valves 

could release the gas and spread death over hundreds 

of square miles. 

President Kennedy proclaimed six Mississippi 

Counties a disaster area and ordered top priority be 

given to removal of the four tanks. The Army Corps 

of Engineers was assigned the task of locating and 

removing the tanks, the US Public Health Service 

the coordinating of safety efforts, the American Red 

Cross the caring of the thousands who might have 

to be evacuated, the US Office of Emergency Planning the overall responsibility for coordinating the 

whole effort. 

The Mississippi National Guard was assigned the 

following: devise and operate a warning system to 

notify within minutes every resident in the danger 

area should one of the tanks start leaking; plan, and 

put into operation if necessary, the evacuation of 

every person in the threatened zone; control traffic 

on the evacuation routes; maintain order and patrol 

the area after the exodus to prevent looting. Two 

factors hampered the planning for the Guard commanders. First, would the returning troops and 

equipment be available in time? Second, there were 

insufficient State funds to support the effort and not 

until just hours before the movement of the Guard 

from home stations did authority come for use of 

Federal disaster relief funds. Peak strength of the 

Guard was 2,800. Using a rotation system part of 

a unit went on duty and the remainder stayed at 

home to carry on normal training and help support 
that part of the unit at Natchez. This enabled most 

of the men to return to their normal civilian lives 

after only a week of Natchez duty. 

The Command Headquarters operated under 

the usual Army staff organization but with alterations to meet the unique requirements of the mission. The assurance with which the Guardsmen provided solutions to the many complex problems and 

answered the questions of those seeking guidance 

calmed the anxious citizens. "Before the Guard got 

here, there was no place you could get authoritative 

answers to your questions," said one businessman, 

"and that made people worry all the more." 

A warning system using a combination of radio, 

television and aircraft that would reach every one 

of the 80,000 residents within minutes was set up 

by Major William Spell and a team of four other 

Air Guardsmen. Major John T. O'Keefe, State 

Aviation Officer, with 17 aircraft (five H23 helicopters, two L20 "Beavers" and ten L19's) and 

crews of the 31st Infantry Division Aviation Company and units from all over the State set up 

a 24-hour operation. Loudspeakers, sirens, and 

1,000,000-candlepower flares were attached to the 

wings of the planes to be used as warning devices. 

The area was divided into sectors which the planes 

and helicopters could reach and thoroughly overfly 

in the time allowable. Practice alerts were started. 

The armory warning center had 24-hour-a-day 

radio hookup to the lifting barge, air strip, each 

plane, each Guard operational headquarters, and 

local police and sheriff stations. 

An evacuation system was devised and its complex problems solved. The most serious invalids in 

and out of hospitals would have to be evacuated to 

hospitals in nearby States. The 213th Medical Battalion with additional ambulances from other units, 

the 183d Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, whose 

Constellation had been transporting supplies and 

was reinstalled with litter racks and other medical 

facilities, and two H34 helicopters with crews lent 

by 3d Army moved 253 of the most serious of the 

cases—including 23 mental cases. After the four 

tanks had been removed these organizations brought 

the invalids back. 

It was decided that the 12,000 school children 

would have to be evacuated to Red Cross Centers 

in towns outside the 25-mile semicircle east of the 

river (prevailing winds are from the West). Civil 

Defense had issued a gas mask to each adult in the 

area, but there were only a few masks that would 

fit the children's faces. School buses were available 

to carry 2,000. So enough Guard trucks with their 

drivers were assigned to each school, even the small 

private ones, to transport the remaining 10.000 

students and their teachers. The drivers stayed constantly within a few feet of their trucks during school 

hours. Rehearsals once and twice a day soon had 

the youngsters into the trucks in an orderly manner 

and ready to move. At one school 765 pupils could 

be out of the building and ready to leave in one 

minute and 40 seconds. 

The rest of the population would have to move 

by private transportation with Guard assistance. 

Escape routes were marked—all streets one way 

heading out of the town—each area assigned a route. 

Maps were printed and distribution made to every 

family. The whole region was broken down into 

sectors, subscctors, and then subareas. Each subarea was assigned a Guard NCO with enough men 

and vehicles to get every person in his area to safety. 

A house-to-house survey was made to determine 

those who would need assistance. Each individual 

problem was considered and solved. Trucks and 

drivers were moved into bivouac locations which 

could be reached quickly by nearby residents. The 

Illinois Central Railway kept a 20-car train on a 

siding near the downtown section of Natchez. Thirty 

minutes after the alarm sounded the train would 

leave and would stop at three additional points to 

pick up fleeing evacuees. Guardsmen were assigned 

to watch for and warn incoming trains by red flares. 

A command was set up to handle traffic control. 

The 101st Area Headquarters (Labor Division) was 

given the assignment and to it were attached the 

150th Transportation Battalion, the 1 13th and 114th 

Military Police Companies. The Command Post was 

set up in a gas-proofed room in the City Auditorium 

equipped with radios to keep the Headquarters and 

the MP's in touch with planes, jeep patrols, police 

and fire departments and the Guard Command Posts 

throughout an evacuation. The roads were reconnoitered and at potential trouble spots traffic control 

posts planned. The Guard worked with local medical institutions to organize civilian operated first aid 

stations along the evacuation routes. 

Nearby industries and other civilian sources 

supplied technical advice as to the behavior and 

characteristics of chlorine. Two man teams were 

trained to use four concentration meters with a 

mission to re-enter the area five hours after the gas 

had hit and check for lethal concentrations. Not 

until they gave the all-clear signal would anyone be 

authorized to return. 
The fourth and final tank of chlorine was raised 

on 4 November 1962. The Guardsmen were able to 

return home when the invalids were brought back, 

Army National Guard 

Active Army support of the Army National 

Guard is inherent to the "One Army" concept. "I 

can use the term 'Army' to mean the entire establishment—active, National Guard and Reserve," 

explained General Earle G. Wheeler, Army Chief 

of Staff, in October 1962. "There can be no conviction of any depth concerning our Service that does 

not apply across the board to every man and woman 

who wears its uniform, either part-time or full-time, 

and to our civilian.colleagues." 

The Army assigns officers and enlisted men to 

advise Army National Guard units. Such assignment, in the words of General Herbert B. Powell. 

Commander, U. S. Continental Army Command, 

prefacing the Army National Guard Advisors 

Handbook, NGB Pamphlet 40-1, "will be one of 

the highlights of your Army career." This year, 

approximately 936 active Army personnel were on 

duty with or on orders to join the Army National 

Guard. 

The Army contributes all Army National Guard 

ammunition as is required and supplies from its inventory, without reimbursement, much of the equipment the Guard requires for training. Recognizing 

past inequalities in the provision of equipment. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara supported 

increased Army procurement in the 1964 Defense 

budget by saying, "More important to the readiness 

of the reserve forces than numbers of men is the 

availability of modern equipment and here we are 

taking drastic action to remedy a long existing 

deficiency." 

The Army recognizes the statutory role of the 

Army National Guard as an integral part of the 

first-line defenses. Commenting on the war-preventing mobilization concluded in August 1962, Vice 

Chief-of-Staff General Barksdalc Hamlett said. "The 

National Guard demonstrated again—as it has so 

often in our history—its ability to get the job done. 

The entire Army is extremely proud of this record." 

Guard units and divisions have exacting roles in 

the equipment packed, and the vehicles ready to go. 

Natchez citizens returned to a normal life without 

fear of the menacing gas. 

preventing and fighting wars. Accomplishments of 

the Guard are accomplishments of the Army and 

the Guard's "ability to get the job done" is necessitated by its role in the plans for first-line defenses; 

is demonstrated daily in the 'round-the-clock operations of Army National Guard Air Defense units. 

Air National Guard 

The Air National Guard has an integral relationship with the active Air Force. General Curtis 

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

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

best equipped, and best trained Reserve and National Guard units that we have ever had in our 

history." To accomplish and maintain this standing, 

the Air Force has been providing the Air Guard 

with advisers, recruiting support, school facilities, 

and modern equipment, including such late-model 

aircraft as the F-100 and F-102. Like the Army 

Guard, the Air Guard participates in a number of 

the missions with the active establishment. Photographic missions were performed by the Air Guard 

in conjunction with the active Air Force, including 

a non-stop photo reconnaissance deployment to 

Alaska and one to Puerto Rico using ANG air refueling tankers along the way. Units also participated in "Swift Strike," a joint Army, ARNG, 

USAF, and ANG simulated theater war and close 

air to ground support mission. Air National Guard 

C-97 and C-121 units also provided airlift in support of the Military Air Transport Service all over 

the world. Particularly important were the flights 

Air Guard C-97s made during the Cuban Crisis to 

South America, Greenland and other areas releasing 

regular MATS aircraft for missions in support of the 

emergency.

FOREWOR D 

THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD in Fiscal Year 1963 once again demonstrated its ability 

to "get the job done." 

In August 1962, 38,600 Army National Guardsmen in 446 units returned to State status 

after participating in the partial mobilization which has been acclaimed as the most successful in 

the history of the United States. The Army National Guard's response to the President's Call in 

the fall of 1961, as a deterrent factor in the Berlin crisis, once again demonstrated the Guard's 

capability to perform its mobilization missions. A total of 44,400 Guardsmen entered Federal 

service at a more advanced level of training than at any previous time in National Guard history. 

Problems concerned with the return of these units to State status had not all been resolved 

when the Army National Guard once again found itself faced with the tremendous effort of completing a major reorganization. The task of reorganization and realignment of the ARNG under 

the new troop structure—including conversion of Guard divisions to ROAD (Reorganization Objective Army Divisions)—was accomplished one month ahead of schedule and in a shorter time 

than any previous major reorganization of the Army National Guard. The first State implemented 

its new troop allotment on 31 January 1963, and reorganization by all States was completed by 1 

May 1963. The new troop structure is another step toward providing the nation a stronger, more 

ready Army National Guard, fully geared to current military plans and more responsive to possible 

contingencies. 

In general, the Guard's new structure contains 4,000 units with an authorized strength of 

400,000; Infantry divisions are reduced from 21 to 17, with the four eliminated divisions being 

realigned into five Command Headquarters, Divisional and four Brigade Headquarters. 

New personnel programs implemented in Fiscal Year 1963 were proof of the fact that the 

Army National Guard continues to stress not only the quantity but the quality of its personnel. 

The "Flexible Enlistment Program," designed to retain trained men, allows a Guardsman to extend his enlistment for as little as one year but enough to cover remaining obligations. In addition, 

the "Try One" Program gives men with previous military service the opportunity to enlist for a 

one-year trial period. The imposition of higher enlistment and promotion standards paralleling 

those of the Active Army was another step toward raising the quality of the Army National Guard. 

Vice Chief of Staff General Barksdale Hamlett ably stressed the importance of quality when he said: 

"The emphasis in the Army is always on the individual—he is, in aggregate, the Army. 

There can be small return on costly modernization of material unless we have the officers and men with the moral, mental and physical qualifications to employ it. Further 

the missions of the Army today in support of national policy are too important to be 

entrusted to any but the most competent among our military manpower. For these reasons, the measures that the Guard has taken to improve its leadership through more 

stringent promotion requirements—and to raise the quality of its ranks through higher 

enlistment standards—are of highest importance. These moves—in contributing to the 

quality of the Guard—raise the quality of the ONE ARMY over-all". 
COMPTROLLER FUNCTIONS 

THE CONGRESS appropriated $443,200,000 

for the support of the Army National Guard during 

FY 1963. These funds were included in three appropriations, covering military personnel, operating costs 

(including technician pay), and the construction of 

armory and non-armory facilities.

These funds supported an end paid drill strength 

of 400,000 with an input of 110,000 Army National 

Guard trainees into the six month active duty program. Apportionment of funds in the National Guard 

Personnel, Army, appropriation of $255,884,000 

recognized a shortfall in the six month training program during the first quarter of the fiscal year, with 

$7,016,000 placed in reserve. Continued slippage in 

six month active duty inputs and strength attainment indicated that apportioned funds could not be 

fully utilized, and $11,310,000 of National Guard 

Personnel, Army, funds were withdrawn and, together with the $7,016,000 in reserve, were transferred to the Office, Secretary of Defense Emergency 

Fund.

Funding 

Funding for National Guard Personnel, Army 

(NGP,A), during the fiscal year totaled $244,574,000 

which included $1,100,000 of reimbursements. This 

funding was adequate to support the requirements of 

the program for the fiscal year. 

ARNG Operation and Maintenance (O&M, 

ARNG) apportionments during the fiscal year totaled 

$174,400,000. The funded reimbursement authority 

normally received in this appropriation was superseded during the year by an automatic authority for 

reimbursement transactions. A total of $171,100,000 

was issued with $3,800,000 withheld ($700,000 Materiel and Operating Supplies; $1,900,000 pending 

submission of contracts for federal contribution to 

State Retirement Systems; $1,000,000 savings in first 

quarter due to return of activated units in August; 

and $200,000 in the Air Defense program for accelerated close-down of Nike-Ajax bases). All but 

$79,000 of these funds were later released to support wage board pay adjustments and salary increase 

requirements under P.L. 87-793 for the ARNG 

technicians, and Air Defense programs.

State funding programs were 92 percent obligated 

as compared to 99.3 percent in FY 61 and 98.8 percent in FY 62. A table showing appropriated funds 

obligated by State or Department of the Army agencies during FY 1963 is atached as Appendix G. 

Financial Administration and Service 

Action to effect the improvement of policies and 

procedures relating to the administrative control 

and accounting for funds was completed with the 

publication of one revised and one new directive on 
30 June 1963. NGR 50 was revised to prescribe the 

general policy and principles of funding and accounting based on current operational requirements. A 

new NGB Pamphlet 50-1 was issued to implement 

the above regulations by outlining individual responsibilities and prescribing uniform fiscal accounting 

procedures for the administrative control of appropriated funds. 

A proposed revision of NGR 58 and NGB 

Pamphlet 58-1 which prescribes the policy and 

procedures pertaining to Federal pay and allowances 

of Army National Guard members under the military 

pay voucher system has been completed. These revisions will clarify and improve the contents of prior 

directives and will incorporate all changes regarding 

pay and allowances that have occurred since date of 

last publication. 

Financial Management Plan 

A cost and performance reporting system was 

tested in six States during FY 1963 under the title 

of "Project MAC" (Management Actions Control). 

The test procedures and reporting methods were 

fully evaluated during the test period. As a result, the 

fiscal and management account structure used for 

accumulating cost and performance data was completely revised to provide many needed improvements in basic concept and operational techniques. 

This course of action led to the development of 

the Army National Guard Financial Management 

Plan which was approved for additional testing during FY 1964. 

The objective of the Financial Management Plan 

is to provide an improved system of managing and 

controlling available resources. This will be accomplished through a uniform activity account 

structure that will be used for programming, budgeting, accounting, reporting, review and analysis 

and other managerial purposes. 

On the basis of anticipated test results, further 

efforts will be made during FY 1964 to obtain the 

necessary approval to expand or fully implement the 

plan in all States on 1 July 1964. 

Audit and Reports of Survey 

During FY 1963 the U.S. Army Audit Agency 

audited 15% of the U.S. Property and Fiscal Officer's (USPFO) Federal fund and property accounts 

in the States. 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 action taken 

by the States were reviewed and analyzed in the 

National Guard Bureau. They were also used as a 

basis for improving various accounting, reporting 

and management procedures. Four of the States 

audited had no major findings. This accomplishment indicates the value of the audits performed by 

Army Audit Agency. 

Various requests for appeal of charges on Army 

National Guard reports of survey were reviewed by 

NGB and recommendations for relief, when warranted, were made prior to forwarding the appeals 

to the Secretary of the Army for final action. 

The publication of a revised NGR 75—4, "Accounting for Lost, Damaged or Destroyed Property," 

and Change No. 1 thereto, has clarified and simplified 

the Reports of Survey (DD Form 200) procedures 

for unit commanders and State Adjutants General. 

This regulation sets forth the instructions pertinent 

to the preparation, processing and collection action 

on ARNG Reports of Survey. Guidance is also included on the financial responsibility of the States in 

cases of Federal Property losses. 

A proposed revision of NGR 75-11, Audit 

(Federal Auditing in the Army National Guard) has 

been completed and is scheduled for publication. 

This revision incorporates a new format for command replies to Audit reports as required by the 

Comptroller of the Army and updates other areas 

of the regulation. 

A complete revision of NGR 80, Non-Appropriated Funds has been submitted for publication. 

This regulation prescribes policies and procedures 

for military welfare funds for the Army National 

Guard. 

Technicians 

The Army National Guard Technician continues year after year to gain prestige for his boundless contributions toward mobilization readiness. 

More and more the technician is becoming better 

trained, experienced, and valuable in his role as the 

Guard's "professional soldier." 

Technicians are assigned to troop units to assist 

commanders with the administrative and training 

responsibilities required on a day-to-day basis; they 

assist the United States Property & Fiscal Officer 
with liis duties in budgeting, accounting, supply and 

warehousing; they provide the first and second echelon maintenance in Organization Maintenance Shops 

as well as higher echelon maintenance in the Field 

Maintenance Shops; and they provide a full-time 

cadre of command, operations, and maintenance personnel necessary to permit missile units to participate 

with units of the active Army in the air defense of 

the United States. 

FY 1963 began with 1763 technicians on active 

duty serving their country during the Berlin crisis. 

Upon their return to the States, there were 18,049 

employed in Budget Program 7500 ami 47l>4 employed in Air Defense. By the end of the Fiscal 

Year, onlv 17.71)3 were employed in BP 7500. of 

which 117 were supported on a reimbursement basis 

as a condition of cross-sen ice agreements and 4476 

were employed in Air Defense. lite year-end 

Strength, initially planned for 17,967 technicians in 

Budget Program 7500. was affected by salary increases during the year. 

The technician budget for FY 1963 was $104.-

946,000 in BP 7500 and $25,412,000 in Project 

7621, phis $2,000,000 for the State Retirement Program in BP 7500 and $800,000 in P 7621. The 

3fJ BP 7500 apportionment request was reduced to 

compensate for salaries of technicians who were on 

active duty the first part of the fiscal year. This reduction was restored late in the fiscal year. 

The year began with I 1 States participating in 

the State Retirement Program, and ended with 13 

States taking part. Those added were Massachusetts 

and Washington. Federal contribution to State retirement programs for technicians was $1,594,811. 

New Classification Act schedules enacted into 

law by PF 87-793 dated II October 1962 were 

implemented, affecting 1 1.292 technicians for a cost 

of $2,085,490. 

Reorganization of the National Guard resulted 

in elimination of training officer positions in Infantry 

Divisions, Engineer, Armor ami Reconnaissance battalions, and Engineer and Reconnaissance battalions, 

in Armored Divisions, but added one training officer 

in each priority II brigade and priority " armored 

cavalry regiment. 

Pay increases from new Wage Board schedules 

developed during the year in the amount of 

$1,110,137. 

Average costs per technician produced during 

the year, including salaries and benefits, amounted 

to $6262 in BP 7500 and $6390 in Air Defense. 

Except m the areas of held and organizational 

maintenance, the technician program remained stable 

during I Y 1463 A new manning criteria was published for Organizational technicians, and data were 

collected for development of a USPFO manning 

criteria in FY 1964. Several organizational jobs 

were upgraded, and there were expected gains in 

average salaries. The maintenance program underwent two RTFs during the year, which resulted in 

nationwide maintenance being supported with onlv 

82.5% of the technicians required under approved 

criteria to maintain the equipment on hand as of 15 

August 1962. 

Review and Analysis 

Continuing review and analysis of the Army 

National Guard Program served to highlight significant deficiencies, excesses and problem areas requiring collective action. In most areas performance 

adhered closely to programmed objectives, however, 

the commander's concern with demobilization and 

the reorganization and realignment of the Army 

National Guard prevented the full accomplishment 

of certain programs. Shortfalls in the strength, six 

months training and school programs were of most 

significance. 
The Chief, National Guard Bureau, formally 

briefs the Vice Chief of Staff on a quarterly basis 

on major Army National Guard programs, particularly problem areas which require corrective 

action at the Department of Army or higher level. 

Reports Control 

Increasing demands for detailed statistical data 

has required the NGB to request a total of 23 recurring reports from the several States. Each of these 

reports is reviewed annually at which time the 

need for the data must be re-examined. Improvements are restrained, however, by the necessary restrictive progress in developing requirements for the 

Department of the Army automated information 

data bank. Until all input data have been identified 

and streamlined, major reporting improvements 

could result in the inopportune loss of statistics. 

The first NGB Pamphlet containing policy relative to the ARNG Reports Control System was dePERSONNE L 

Military Strength 

THE FEDERALLY recognized strength of the 

Army National Guard on 30 June 1963 was 361,-

080. This total includes 366 Alabama Army National Guardsmen on active state duty at year-end. 

Army National Guard strength at the beginning of 

FY 1963 was 405,341. This total included 360,970 

in State status and 44,371 who were members of 

units mobilized in September and October 1961 as a 

deterrent factor in the Berlin crisis. Upon demobilization of units in August 1962, Army National 

Guard strength reached a FY 1963 peak of 394,094. 

Strength of mobilized units upon return to State 

status was 38,644. 

The one-year extension of enlistments and reserve obligations in FY 1962, coupled with the 

States' efforts to limit release of personnel due to the 

world crisis, produced unusually high losses in FY 

1963. Although the States were able to procure 

3,000 more non-prior service personnel than the preveloped during the year. The Pamphlet makes 

applicable to the Army National Guard of the 

several States AR 335-30 which should be helpful 

in local reports improvement. Identification of approved reporting requests will be facilitated by the 

policy that only those reports citing a Reports Control Symbol or obviously exempt from the Reports 

Control System by authority of paragraph 39, AR 

335-15, will be prepared. The Pamphlet is to contain an Appendix in which every recurring, approved 

report is described. The Appendix will be continuously revised by means of published pen and ink 

changes and complete page revisions and additions. 

A proposed revision to OM 5-12, ARNG Reports Control System, is also to be made more useful 

by the addition of an Appendix. This is to contain a 

description of every recurring, approved report prepared by the NGB concerning ARNG matters. 

Again, this Appendix will be continuously revised by 

the same means as proposed for the related NGB 

Pamphlet. 

vious five year annual average, this was not enough 

to overcome the multiple loss factors experienced. 

By 30 June 1963, strength had dropped to 361,080.

The major portion of the increase in overall 

officer-warrant officer strength during FY 1963 is 

attributed to the release from active duty of 2,576 

officers and 405 warrant officers during August 

1962, when their units returned to State control. 

At the end of the fiscal year 26 officers and 2 

warrant officers still remained on active duty in 

Alabama. 

The principal source of second lieutenants continued to be the accredited Officer Candidate 

Schools. The table below gives a comparison by

Listed below is a comparison of the officer personnel actions taken during FY 1962 and FY 1963. 

The decrease in Federal recognitions resulted from 

a change in procedure whereby branch changes and 

warrant officer MOS changes were moved from the 

Federal recognition category to the reassignment 

category. In addition to the increase brought about 

by this change, the reassignment category was further increased by action resulting from the reorganization. 

Reserve Officer Personnel Act 

During FY 1963 initial considerations for 

promotion under the mandatory considerations of 

ROPA resulted in the following selection rate: first 

lieutenants, 63%; captains, 52%; majors, 65%; for 

a 60% average for all grades. 

Officers being mandatorily considered for the 

second time under ROPA provisions were selected at 

the following rate: first lieutenants, 63%; captains, 

55%; majors, 56%; for an overall average for all 

grades of 58%. 

This rate of selection is considered to be normal 

and indicates that officers are meeting prescribed 

military educational requirements. 

During FY 1963, 1290 ARNG officers were 

advised of selection for promotion. Of these, 22% 

accepted promotion in the ARNG, 57% declined 

promotion and 21 % resigned to accept promotion in 

the U. S. Army Reserve (USAR). Lack of appropriate unit position vacancies continues to be the reason 

for the relatively large percentage of declinations and 

resignations. The percentages above reflect a decrease in the numbers declining promotions and an 

accompanying increase in resignations. These occurred principally in the field grade ranks. 

Warrant Officers Affected by Reorganization 

Because the reorganization affected so many 

warrant officer positions, a program was established 

to authorize the retention of those warrant officers 

who were replaced by commissioned officers in TOE. 

A warrant officer could be retained in MOS 001A 

in lieu of the commissioned officer provided there 

was no qualified commissioned officer available to 

fill the position and the warrant officer possessed the 

appropriate MOS. 

Some 435 cases were handled, and 248 of the 

warrant officers were employed as ARNG technicians. Of these technicians, 198 were authorized 

retention and 50 were disapproved. Of the remaining 187 warrant officers, 99 were retained and 88 

were not approved. Thus a total of 297 were retained. The 138 warrant officers not authorized retention were placed in excess.

Personnel Actions (Enlisted) 

In FY 1963—0.7% of completed State enlistment applications were rejected by the Bureau as 

compared to 1.2% in FY 1962. This low rejection 

rate indicates the continued careful selection and 

screening of applications by recruiting personnel, unit 

commanders and other State authorities. 

FLEXIBLE ENLISTMENT PROGRAM 

Publication of NGR 25-1 dated 28 December 

1962 announced to the States a flexible enlistment 

program. Initially this program provided that prior 

service personnel could be enlisted for 2, 3 or 6 

years. In May 1963 these regulations were modified 

to provide that prior service could be enlisted for any 

period not less than one year with the provision that 

enlistments beyond age 60 must be authorized by 

the National Guard Bureau. Additionally, these regulations provided for uncomplicated extension of 

enlistments and reenlistments. This procedure eliminated the necessity of discharge and reenlistment 

actions by commanders which in turn greatly reduced the administrative actions involved for a 

Guardsman to continue uninterrupted service. 

RFA—55 Training Program 

During FY 1963, 51,086 Army National 

Guardsmen entered the Active Duty training program. Since the program's inception in FY 1956, 

378,837 Army National Guardsmen have enlisted 

or volunteered to "Take 6," 345,427 have actually 

entered training and 297,559 have completed training and returned to their units. On 30 June 1963 

there were 28,561 Army National Guard enlisted 

men training in the six month program in the various 

active Army Training Centers and school and units 

training facilities throughout the various States.

Guard Register. 

• 5,722 promotions for entry in the Register. 

• 11,786 other actions affecting the Register,

received from the Adjutant General of the Army; 

these latter requests are forwarded to the appropriate State Adjutants General for completion. 

• The 1963 edition of the Official Army National Guard Register was distributed to the States 

and other interested activities in the latter part of 

June, 1963 at an estimated cost of $9,450. This 

edition contains names and statements of service 

of approximately 35,200 officers and warrant officers of the Active and Inactive Army National 

Guard. 

MEDICA L ACTIVITIE S 

36 

Responsibilities 

One of the primary objectives in FY 1963, as 

in every year, of the Army Surgeon's office was the 

constant effort to maintain combat ready medically 

qualified Army National Guard personnel. The following shows the number of officer medical examination reports reviewed and processed during FY 

1963: 

PURPOSE OF EXAMINATION NUMBER 

Initial Fed. Recog., prom., etc 11,591 

Army Aviation 317 

Periodic medical exams 8,974 

Statements in lieu of med. exams 16,720 

Med. exams, for school attendance 1,514 

The number above pertains to Army National 

Guard officers only, and of this number, 137, or less 

than one-half of one percent, were considered to be 

medically unacceptable for the purpose evaluated. 

In addition to the number of officer cases processed, 

2,889 questionable medical examinations for enlisted 

personnel were reviewed and of this number 425 

were not medically acceptable. 

A total of 4,554 Reports of Line of Duty Investigations were reviewed and processed, 2,296 of 

these were formal reports and 2,258 were Administrative Determinations. 

The most significant accomplishment was the 

publishing of a revision of NGR 62 on 15 April 

1963. Distribution to the States followed in May. Of 

greatest importance to the Army National Guard 

program were these provisions: 

• Replacement of prosthetic devices lost or 

damaged while performing training under Title 32, 

U.S. Code. 

• Administration of oral poliomyelitis vaccine 

for Guardsmen in place of the injectable type vaccine previously required. This change brings the 

requirement for ARNG in line with the active 

army. 

Authority to settle small claims for damaged or 

broken spectacles and dentures at one time had been 

delegated to the several USPFO's. Repair or replacement was handled locally. The Comptroller General 

ruled on 20 July 1960 that claims of members of the 

National Guard for loss or damage of personal 

property during periods of inactive duty training 

could be considered under Section 2732 of Title 10, 

U.S. Code. The National Guard Bureau by Special 

Bulletin. 7 October 1960, informed all States of this 

ruling and advised them to process such claims in 

accordance with AR 25-100. The Judge Advocate 

General subsequently refused to pay such claims 

upon the ground that they fell within a regulatory 

exception precluding payment for clothing or other 

articles being worn. Thus, the National Guard Bureau was unable to provide for civilian repair or 

replacement of spectacles, dentures or other pros-
thetic devices unless the loss was accompanied by 

personal injuries. This state of affairs existed until 

the National Guard Bureau obtained Army Staff 

approval of the procedures outlined in the revised 

NGR 62.

ORGANIZATIO N AND 

Troop Unit Organization 

The Army National Guard Troop Basis as of 

30 June 1963 consisted of 4,023 company or detachment size units. This represents a decrease of 352 

units from those authorized on 30 June 1962. 

On the accompanying chart this troop basis is 

separated into Infantry, Armor, Artillery and other. 

Medical Budget 

The National Guard Bureau was initially allocated $410,000 by the Surgeon General, Department 

of the Army, for the purpose of providing necessary 

medical care and performing medical examinations 

in reimbursable facilities in the absence of available 

Federal medical (non-reimbursable) facilities during 

FY 1963. Because of the anticipated requirement 

for an increase in the number of medical examinations required by additional recruitment, an additional $30,000 was allocated 1 April 1963, for a 

total allocation of $440,000. However, this requirement failed to materialize and at the request of the 

Surgeon General, Dept. of the Army, NGB released' 

$14,000 during the month of June 1963. A total of 

$407,079 was finally obligated, approximately 

95.6% of the FY 1963 resources of $426,000. Of 

this total $280,726 (69%) was for the purpose of 

medical examinations and $126,353 was for medical 

care in reimbursable non-Federal facilities.

ARMY NATIONAL GUARD ORGANIZATION 

tOO 000 STRENGTH 4000 UNITS 

A total of 4,005 ARNG company or detachment size units were federally recognized on 30 June 

1963. This represents a decrease of 308 units for 

Fiscal Year 1963. 

This loss of units was due to the reorganization 

and realignment of the ARNG under the new troop 

structure including conversions of divisions to 

ROAD. 
Four Infantry Divisions, the 34th (IowaNebraska), the 35th (Kansas-Missouri) the 43d 

(Connecticut-Rhode Island-Vermont) and the 51st 

(Florida-South Carolina) were converted to form 

five Command Headquarters, Divisional, with attached units and four separate Infantry Brigades. 

The remaining 17 Infantry and 6 Armored divisions 

were reorganized under new ROAD tables of organization. Non-divisional units were realigned to 

meet current mobilization requirements and NikeAjax training batteries with no on-site mission were 

eliminated. New Special Forces companies were 

organized in four additional States: Florida, Maryland, Montana and New York. This major task was 

completed in a shorter period of time than any other 

major ARNG reorganization and one month ahead 

of schedule. Implementation of new troop allotments 

began on 31 January 1963, and was completed by 

1 May 1963. 

Montana Special Forces parachute jumpers 

Special Forces 

At the beginning of FY 1963, Special Forces 

units were organized in six States: Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Rhode Island. Utah and West 

Virginia. During the Army National Guard realignment of 1963, four more States organized Special 

Forces units. These were: Florida, Maryland, Montana and New York. An additional Special Forces 

unit was allotted to Mississippi to be organized during FY 1964. This gives the Army National Guard 

a Special Forces organization consisting of three 

Special Forces Group headquarters and thirteen Special Forces Companies, with a strength of more than 

2500 men. 

This addition to the Army National Guard 

troop structure points up the increasing importance 

of these highly skilled, unconventional warfare forces 

in the modern Army. The mission of these units is 

to infiltrate hostile areas by land, sea or air and to 

organize, equip, train and direct indigenous forces 

in the conduct of guerrilla warfare. Guardsmen learn 

the skills necessary to accomplish these missions by 

attendance at Army Service Schools, by participation in unit training programs conducted during 

ANACDUTRA and at home station during the year, 

and by participation in active Army training exercises in the United States and overseas. 

Last year the Army National Guard sent Special 

Forces men to Parachute School and Ranger School 

at Fort Benning, Jumpmaster School at Fort Campbell and Fort Bragg, and to Special Warfare courses 

at the Special Warfare School, Fort Bragg. 

Each Special Forces Guardsman is trained in 

one of four basic'military skills: demolitions, weapons, communications or medical care. In addition 

to their specialty these men are cross-trained in 

other fields. This training is conducted at home 

station and at ANACDUTRA, with maximum use 

being made of difficult terrain. Swamps, deserts and 

mountains are familiar training areas for Special 

Forces Guardsmen. At home station, Special Forces 

men spend time learning of the customs, geography 

and history of selected areas in which their specialized skills might have to be employed in case of 

aggression. 

In September of 1962, Special Forces Guardsmen from five States were included as players and 

observers in exercise High Point, conducted by the 

Active Army 10th Special Forces Group in Germany. The participating States were: Alabama, 

Louisiana, North Carolina, Utah and West Virginia. 
Air Defense Program 

The Army Guard has been an active participant 

in the Air Defense of the United States since 1954. 

Initially the Guard manned sites equipped with conventional anti-aircraft guns and World War II 

radars. As modern weapon systems became available, the Guard was equipped with the Nike-Ajax 

Missile System (1958) and the Nike-Hercules Missile System (1961). During FY 1962 a program 

to convert or redesignate the then existing 76 on-site 

Nike-Ajax units in CONUS to 48 Nike-Hercules batteries was developed and implemented. This program is scheduled for completion in FY 1965.

At the beginning of FY 1963 the Guard had 69 

operational Nike-Ajax batteries in CONUS and six 

operational Nike-Hercules batteries in Hawaii. In 

addition, 45 Nike-Ajax batteries in CONUS and two 

Nike-Hercules batteries in Hawaii were available in 

an Armory Training status; and six recently organized Nike-Hercules batteries were undergoing conversion and/or activation training in preparation 

for assuming an on-site Air Defense mission. The 

total strength of the Air Defense Program was 

16,929 officers and enlisted men, of whom 4,396 

were employed as technicians to man the equipment 

of the on-site units on a day-to-day, twenty-four 

hour basis. 

During the fiscal year the Air Defense Program 

progressed smoothly. Thirty-five on-site Nike-Ajax 

batteries were released from the tactical mission and 

reorganized into twenty Nike-Hercules batteries and 

began conversion training. Four Nike-Hercules batteries activated in states or areas in which the Guard 

had not previously participated in the on-site Air 

Defense Program, also began Nike-Hercules training 

in preparation for becoming operational. The fortyfive Armory status training batteries in CONUS and 

the two in Hawaii which were available at the beginning of the fiscal year were deactivated or converted 

to other type units. 

At the end of FY 1963 nine Nike-Ajax Battalions consisting of 34 firing batteries remained 

operational, on-site. Seven Nike-Hercules battalions 

consisting of sixteen batteries completed training 

and became operational and four battalions consisting of fourteen firing batteries were undergoing conGuardsmen are trained in the mighty NIKE HERCULES 
version training. At year's end. the program strength 

was 8.703 officers and enlisted men, 4,976 of whom 

were technicians. This reduction in military strength 

was due to the elimination of 47 armory status 

training batteries and a net reduction of five batteries 

in the on-site program. The increase in technician 

strength is due to the larger number of technicians 

required by the additional equipment and higher 

alert requirement of Nike-Hercules units. 

All program objectives were accomplished without significant difficulty. Minor difficulties in funding 

due to the higher costs of utilities at Hercules sites 

and the increases in annual average salaries were 

experienced, but overcome through administrative 

action. Difficulty of a similar nature promises to be 

more significant in FY 1964. 

During the 1962 Cuban crisis on-site ARNG 

Nike-Ajax batteries impressively demonstrated their 

capability to assume a higher alert posture for extended periods, despite the fact that payment for 

overtime is not authorized. During this same period 

the One Army concept was emphasized in dramatic 

reality when Maryland National Guardsmen, just 

completing Nike-Hercules training, assisted understrength active Army units in the WashingtonBaltimore defense in manning their sites, without 

fanfare or desire for recognition. 

Army National Guard on-site units in competition with active Army units, won both the ARADCOM Commander's Trophy for the Outstanding 

Firing Battery and Outstanding Firing Battalion for 

FY 1963. Operational Readiness Evaluation scores 

showed an overall improvement of 4% over last 

year. These accomplishments exemplify the continued improvement of ARNG missile units in all 

operational areas.

Training Criteria 

The Army National Guard conducts training in 

accordance with criteria established by Headquarters, 

United States Continental Army Command (USCONARC) and United States Army Air Defense 

Command (ARADCOM). The USCONARC training criteria are set forth in Annex AA to its Training 

Directive, dated 17 April 1963, which established 

the following objectives for the Army National 

Guard. 

INDIVIDUALS 

• To attain and maintain proficiency of all 

personnel in the fundamentals of combat operations; 

• To prepare, by progressive selection and 

training, officers qualified to assume command and 

staff responsibility at all echelons and similarly to 

prepare warrant officers and noncommissioned officers for positions of leadership and responsibility. 

• To develop and qualify all personnel in 

their MOS and grade. 

• To develop efficient instructors. 

• To maintain standards of mental alertness 

and physical fitness necessary for active duty, including indoctrination of all individuals in the Code of 

Conduct.

The chart shows Army National Guard individual training progress from FY 1959 through FY 

1963. As of June 30. 1963, 119c were prior servicemen or six month trainees. The vital importance 

of the six month training program to this training 

progress is evident. 
UNITS 

The objective of the overall training effort is 

to improve all unit readiness to mobilize and 

promptly initiate a post-mobilization training program to meet deployment schedules. Toward this 

end, maximum progression to higher level training 

is encouraged, consistent with strength, training 

equipment, facilities and attained proficiency. Training will include accomplishment of essential pre-alert 

and pre-mobilization planning. 

The level of training objectives prescribed by 

CGUSCONARC for ANACDUTRA 1963 are as 

follows: 

Divisional Units—To train Infantry units up to 

the platoon level, including mandatory completion of 

the Rifle Squad and Platoon Attack Course. The 

division commander may authorize the conduct of 

company level training for those units which have 

completed platoon level, including ATT, and possess 

sufficient strength, equipment and adequate training 

areas for advanced training. 

To train artillery units at battery level, except 

for those units selected by the division commander 

to conduct battalion level training. 

To train Priority II divisional Honest John batteries for the entire ANACDUTRA period on Honest John equipment, to include witnessing an actual 

rocket firing. 

To train other units at the unit training level 

determined and prescribed by the division commander. 

Nondivisional Units—To train infantry units up 

to platoon level, including mandatory completion of 

Unit training is the most important mission of the Army Guard 

the rifle Squad and Platoon Attack Courses. The 

Army commander may authorize company level 

training for qualified units under the same conditions 

as prescribed for divisional units. 

To train other units at the unit training level 

determined and prescribed by the Army commander, as appropriate. 

The Army commander may delegate authority 

to determine levels of training authorized in the two 

paragraphs above to State Adjutants General. 

Combat Training 

The Army National Guard, released from conducting individual training in October 1958 with implementation of mandatory six month active Army 

training for new recruits, has since conducted unit 

training. Individuals returning from basic training 

are integrated into the unit training program. 

In general, the Army National Guard is well 

into Basic Unit Training with the exception of certain units which, due to reorganization and branch 

changes, were required to revert to Advanced Individual Training in the Fourth Quarter of FY 1963. 

Many of the artillery units are in the Advanced 

Unit Training phase. Most armor units are in Basic 

Unit Training. 

The status of Infantry training is depicted on 

the "Arrow" graph below. As indicated, an Infantry 

battalion undergoes a 36-week training program in 

attaining readiness for overseas deployment. At the 

end of FY 1963, Army National Guard Infantry 

units had satisfactorily completed an average of three 

weeks of basic unit training, or 19 weeks of the total 

36-week training program. 

TRAINING FOR COMBAT 

{INFANTRY BATTALION 
Armory Training 

With few exceptions, ARNG units participated 

in at least 48 paid assemblies during FY 1962. Exceptions were those units returning from active duty 

following the Berlin Crisis mobilization and some 

units which were affected by reorganization. These 

units performed their proportionate share of the 48 

assemblies in accordance with NGR 45. 

The number of officers, warrant officers and enlisted men participating in armory training amounted 

to an average of 92 r; of assigned strength, (excluding constructive attendance) an overall percentage 

decrease of 1.2^7 from the previous fiscal year. This 

decrease can be attributed to the turbulence caused 

by the return of mobilized units from active duty 

and the major reorganization and realignment of the 

Army National Guard. 

Percentages of attendance at armory training

Annual Field Training 

Approximately 104.000 Guardsmen, representing about 84' ; of ARNG assigned strength attended 

15 days of annual field training during 1963. 

One of the most significant accomplishments of 

this year's annual field training was the establishment 

of the live-fire Squad/Platoon Rifle Attack Courses. 

Last year, one of the main training discrepancies 

noted was the layout and conduct of the so-called 

"live-fire stylized courses." During the winter. 

ISCONARC instituted the Squad Platoon Rifle Attack Courses. Prior to annual field training, pilot 

models were constructed within each CONUS Army 

area and USCONARC Pamphlet 350-21 and Training Film 7-3323 were distributed to acquaint each 

infantry unit with the layout and conduct of the 

courses. As a training vehicle, these courses gave 

our troops a basic concept of live-fire battle drill and 

the teamwork required under combat conditions. The 

enthusiasm with which these courses were run was 

outstanding. 

A continuing program of new construction and 

improvement of present attack courses is planned for 

1964. 

During Annual Field Training, active Army 

evaluation boards conducted a detailed inspection 

of each federally recognized Army National Guard 

unit. This year saw the initiation of a new CONARC 

field training evaluation system wherein a score of 

75 was used as a starting point. The CONARC 

directive states that this base is an equitable point 

from which to evaluate actual performance and the 

base score itself. 75. depicts a "satisfactory" or average unit, one which is accomplishing its mission. 

Shown below is the system rating scale. It is 

emphasized that this evaluation system is concerned 

only with the status of training of a unit and does 

not indicate the unit mobilization capability. 

HATING PERCENTAGE 

Superior 95.00 to 100.00 

Excellent 85.00 to 94.99 

Satisfactory 65.00 to 84.99 

Unsatisfactory 0.00 to 64.99 

The results of the new system have not been 

fully analyzed. The field training evaluation ratings 

reflecting the satisfactory and unsatisfactory percentages from 1959 through 1963 are shown below:

Other significant field training accomplishments 

included: 

• Battalion level training for many artillery 

units. 

• Completion and testing of section/platoon 

training with few exceptions. 

• Initial armory and field training for units 

reorganized from one branch to another. 

• Substantial decrease in minimum standards 

deficiencies. 

Annual General Inspections 

Annual general inspection ratings for 3,824 

ARNG units were reviewed by the Bureau. These 

armory inspections, conducted by representatives of 

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

Equipment Maintenance and Levels 

Unit Organization and Training 

Personnel Qualification

The following table shows that for the past five 

years almost all Army National Guard units received 

ratings of satisfactory and above. Although not 

shown by the table, in FY 1963 approximately 81% 

of the units inspected received excellent or superior 

ratings.

School Program 

The objective of the Army National Guard 

School Program is to prepare selected individuals 

to perform those duties which they may be called 

upon to perform in peace and war. Unlike active 

Army personnel, who can acquire skills and techniques by actual practice or on-the-job training, since 

they are on full time duty, part-time Army National 

Guardsmen have much less opportunity to attain 

proficiency by this means. Hence, they must gain 

competence in military technical skills through the 

Army School System. 

The 1963 realignment of Army National Guard 

organizations to the ROAD structure caused a shortfall in school attendance during the fiscal year. In' 

view of the long time involved in resolving all the 

locations of units and the resultant delay in determining branch assignments, many personnel were 

reluctant to attend school until the turbulence was 

settled. In future fiscal years, the ROAD reorganization will require a greater input for school trained 

personnel in the fields of aviation, mechanization and 

electronics. An illustration of the branch turbulence 

reveals that 103 units were changed to Armor in 

25 States. Likewise, 62 units in 21 States were 

changed to Engineer. 

The Army School System furnishes the primary 

means of educating and training leaders and specialists which are essential to building and maintaining 

the units of the Army National Guard. Service 

School graduates, distributed in the officer corps and 

in key enlisted positions throughout the Army National Guard, insures the maintenance of uniformly 

high standards and the wide dissemination of military knowledge. 

During FY 1963, 7302 officers and enlisted 

men attended the various courses conducted in Army 

Service Schools. Of special interest during the year, 

was the fact that 300 officers, whose branch was 

changed to Armor or Engineer, attended a two-week 

branch familiarization course, which was conducted 

both at the Armor School and the Engineer School. 

The Commanding General, USCONARC established these courses to assist the National Guard 

Bureau in providing branch orientation to such officers prior to the annual field training of 1963. 

Three types of Officer Candidate Courses are 

open to enlisted personnel of the Army National 

Guard. Approximately 20 selected individuals attend 

the Regular 23-week course of instruction conducted 

at the US Army Infantry School and the US Army 

Artillery and Missile School. 
44 

CONARC also conducts a special ten-week Officer Candidate course at these schools during the 

summer and winter months. Annually, about 500 

Guardsmen participate in this program. The third 

type of Officer Candidate School program, which 

produces the majority of second lieutenants for the 

Army National Guard, is the State Officer Candidate 

School program. This program commences with two 

weeks of Annual Field Training, followed by a minimum of eight weekend assemblies and concluding 

with a second period of Annual Field Training.

National Guard personnel also participate in 

various courses of instruction conducted by the Army 

Commanders. More than 2,100 officers and enlisted 

personnel participated in this activity during this 

year. 

Army Aviation 

During FY 1963, the number of ARNG aviators on flying status decreased slightly. At the beginning of the fiscal year, 1,522 including 225 with 

mobilized units, were on flying status. On 30 June 

1963, total aviator strength was 1,513. The current 

authorization is 3,494. 

Prior to FY 1962, an average increase of 125 

Army aviators per year was normal. For the past 

two years, however, increases have been below this 

average due principally to the partial mobilization in 

FY 1962, increased numbers reporting for extended 

active duty and losses to ROPA. 

The decrease in Army aviator strength in FY 

1963 is attributed to: 

• The decision of 52 aviators with mobilized 

units to remain on active duty. 

• Heavy losses due to the effects of the Reserve 

Officers Personnel Act and increased numbers 

reporting for extended active duty. One-hundred 

and fifty-five were discharged or resigned during 

the year. An additional 51 responded to the 

Active Army's intensified recruiting efforts and 

reported for extended active duty. 

Primary sources of aviator procurement continue to be graduates from the U.S. Army Aviation

ARNG aviation personnel took full advantage 

in FY 1963 of all aviation courses offered by the 

active Army. Approximately 650 officers and enlisted men with an aviation MOS attended the 

courses offered. A partial breakdown of these courses 

and the number of Guardsmen in attendance follows:

The National Guard Bureau conducted a nation-wide Army Aviation Safety Conference at Chicago, 111. on 12-13 March 1963. Neither the ARNG 

nor active Army had previously held such a conference on a national basis. The conference was 

held to explore all avenues for reducing the ARNG 

aircraft accident rate. Representatives from U.S. 

Army Board for Aviation Accident Research, FAA, 

DA, CONARC and the NGB, gave presentations to 

the conference which was attended by full-time aviation training and maintenance officers from all States. 

A major result of the conference was the development of a nation-wide aviator flight standardization 

concept currently being implemented into publications and programs. 

Army Advisors 

A study of the reorganized Army National • 

Guard structure has resulted in the development of 

a National Guard Bureau minimum requirement of 

1,003 officer Advisors. On 30 June 1963 there 

were actually on duty 835 officer Advisors, or 83% 

of this minimum requirement. Overall, 59 advisors 

were gained during Fiscal Year 1963. 

Although shortages exist in all branches except 

Transportation Corps, the most significant are in: 

• Quartermaster: 30% of the minimum requirement was satisfied, leaving a shortage of 21 

advisors. 

• Engineer: 50% of the minimum requirement 

was satisfied, leaving a shortage of 38 advisors. 

• Signal: 52% of the minimum requirement 

was satisfied, leaving a shortage of 32 advisors. 

• Medical: 56% of the minimum requirement 

was satisfied, leaving a shortage of 19 advisors.

LOGISTIC S 

The Army National Guard continued its efforts 

during the fiscal year to modernize its equipment. 

The recent reorganization of the Army National 

Guard generated a requirement to redistribute equipment within the National Guard to insure proper 

utilization of available assets. This program was 

developed in such a manner to insure maximum 

utilization of equipment by as many units as possible. 

Completion of this program is anticipated in late 

Fiscal Year 1964. 

During the past year a new asset reporting system was implemented. This new system is designed 

to provide accurate and timely information whenever 

desired. This new system will also provide the Army 

National Guard with an asset management tool that 

will expedite requirement planning and distribution 

program. The new report format conforms with that 

of the Active Army, thus providing uniformity 

throughout the Department of the Army. 

Mobility 

Mobility in the Army National Guard has improved during the past year due primarily to the 

acceptance of a substantial quantity of one-quarter 

ton,

 3A ton and 2V% ton trucks offered by the Active 

Army. 

The majority of these vehicles proved to be in 

fair condition. Vehicles accepted, but not in repairable condition, were cannibalized, thus enabling the 

Army National Guard to field an acceptable fleet of 

vehicles. 

Members of 49th Division drill with Honest John rocket 

Firepower 

The Army National Guard received sufficient 

762 mm Honest John Rocket Launchers to provide 

all Army Nationa' Guard early ready divisions a 

much greater training capability in modern firepower. 

These launchers were made available to replace a 

smaller quantity of truck mounted launchers, withdrawn by the Department of the Army to meet 

higher priority requirements. 

In addition to the Honest John, a number of 

the new M14 Rifle and M60 Machine Gun was made 

available to the Army National Guard. The issue of 

these new items greatly enhanced the training program of the Army National Guard and, as a result, 

the readiness posture was improved in that training 

of a greater number of troops with modern equipment can now be accomplished. 

In the field of firepower the Army National 

Guard continued to receive 105 mm towed Howitzers. The possibility appears strong that the Army 

National Guard will receive the more modern 105 

mm Howitzers (self-propelled) in the near future. 

49th Division Armored Personnel Carrier 
Communications Maintenance 

The area of communications continues to be 

one of utmost concern to the Army National Guard. 

Certain limitations in the communications field exist. 

However, efforts are being made to improve the 

are well trained in methods of installation and 

operation. 

A Bailey bridge here used by the Wisconsin National Guard 

Tactical and Administrative Support 

Although the Army National Guard faced certain limitations in its inventory of construction and 

bridging equipment, most units were able to perform 

their assigned training missions both efficiently and 

effectively with the equipment available. 

Because of the return of Army National Guard 

units mobilized for the Berlin crisis, an increase in 

the Army National Guard inventory was realized 

between 30 June 1962 and 30 June 1963. 

The Administrative Use Vehicle fleet was improved by the receipt of 1963 model vehicles which 

included a quantity of light and compact type sedan 

to replace nearly all 1956 and older sedans in the 

fleet. 

New modernized load carrying equipment has 

been provided to nearly all Early Ready units. 

Organizational Equipment and 

Organizational Clothing 

Funds totaling $5,379,000 were made available 

to the States for the procurement of organizational 

equipment and clothing for initial issue to National 

Guard units, for warehouse stock shortages and for 

inventory turnover. 

The return of units from active duty during FY 

1963 again taxed the capabilities of the National 

Guard maintenance system. However, trained organizational maintenance personnel, a controlled 

second echelon maintenance program and field maintenance performed by the Combined Field Maintenance Shops made it possible for the National Guard 

to perform required rehabilitation of equipment after 

release from active duty. 

A conference of State Maintenance Officers in 

each Army Area was held during the fall of 1962. 

All phases of maintenance were discussed at each_ 

meeting. The repair of equipment returned from 

active duty was a matter of prime discussion. An 

open exchange of experience gained in the repair 

of National Guard equipment was most beneficial to 

all. These conferences were attended by representatives of each State, Army area, technical service, 

depot and the National Guard Bureau. 

ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE 

Battalion and company commanders organize 

and carry out their organizational maintenance responsibilities under the National Guard policy of unit 

integrity; that is, the unit or battalion commander is 

responsible for all of the equipment assigned to his 

command. This concept of maintenance has produced more comprehensive maintenance at the Organizational Shop level, has cut travel to and from 

Combined Field Maintenance Shops, made the 

equipment available for use by the company or 

battalion at a central location and has reduced the 

hazard of moving faulty vehicles over the road. 

Fourteen new Organizational Maintenance Shops 

were activated during the year, bringing the total to 

894, of which 500 are adequate, 223 require modification, and 171 require construction of buildings 

and facilities. 

FIELD MAINTENANCE 

The work load of the Combined Feld Maintenance Shops increased sharply during this fiscal year 

due to return of two divisions and the non-divisional 

units that were called to active duty. This work load 

of normal maintenance plus returned equipment, the 

receipt of equipment from Army and Modification 

Work Orders taxed the shops to capacity. 
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING SUPPLIES 

Because of budget limitations, the States were 

not able to bring their shelf stock to R/O level or to 

stock full unit basic loads. Funds available under 

this program in the fiscal year totaled $8,318,235, a 

decrease in funding to the States of $270,865 for 

FY 1962. 

MAINTENANCE OF USAR EQUIPMENT 

The authority for the States to enter into agreements with the USAR and Active Army for the field 

maintenance of their equipment was continued during Fiscal Year 1963. There were 11 agreements 

with USAR Corps in Florida, Indiana, Michigan, 

Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, 

South Dakota and Virginia. Other States have indicated that the USAR is interested in negotiating 

additional contracts. Contracts may be negotiated 

when there are adequate National Guard facilities 

available and the State laws do not prohibit the 

repair and operation of Federal vehicles by National 

Guardsmen. Operation and Maintenance Army 

funds for the support of USAR cover the cost of 

personnel and parts supply. 

One of the most significant performances during 

the year came from the Maintenance Shop at Fort 

Stewart. Georgia, during the Cuban crisis. During 

that critical period, the Army Guard's maintenance 

efforts were devoted entirely to the support of the 

active Army, particularly the 1st Armored Division. 

The Fort Stewart Guardsmen devoted more than 

27,000 manhours to work on active Army equipment during the period, many days working around 

the clock to meet emergency deadlines. 

ARMY AIRCRAFT REPAIR BATTALIONS 

The Army National Guard operates three 4th 

Echelon Aircraft Maintenance Shops. The parent 

INSTALLATIONS 

Federal support for construction of facilities 

required by the Army National Guard is authorized 

by the National Defense Facilities Act of 1950. 

Funds have been made available yearly for this purpose since 1952. Under this Act of 1950, contributions to the States cannot exceed 75 percent of the 

cost of the authorized armory construction to which 

unit for each shop is a Transportation Aircraft 

Maintenance and Supply Battalion which has a cadre 

of 50 full time Army National Guard technicians. 

Each shop utilizes the battalion's TOE equipment to 

accomplish its workload. The shops are integrated 

into the overall Army aircraft maintenance capability 

under the "One Army" concept and work on aircraft 

of the active Army, Army National Guard, and the 

United States Army Reserve. Each shop is affiliated 

with and has its work programmed by its supported 

Army depot; i.e.. Groton, Connecticut, with the 

New Cumberland Army Depot, Pennsylvania; 

Fresno, California, with Sharpe Army Depot, California; Springfield, Missouri, with Fort Worth Army 

Depot, Texas. 

AVIATION MAINTENANCE 

During FY 1963, Army National Guard aircraft 

flew 177,065 hours, an increase of 1144 hours over 

FY 1962. 

This increase in flying hours is attributable to 

the return to National Guard status of aviators in 

units mobilized during 1961 and their availability to 

accomplish flying hours in National Guard aircraft. 

The net increase in F/W aircraft is due to a return 

of aircraft with units from active duty. The increase 

in R/W aircraft inventory is due to a return of aircraft with units from active duty, and the assignment 

of some observation helicopters to replace those withdrawn during FY 1962.

required to expand, rehabilitate, or convert facilities 
owned by the States or to acquire, construct, expand, 

rehabilitate, or convert additional facilities made necessary by the conversion, redesignation, or reorganization of their units, are supported entirely by federal funds. 

In the period from FY 1953 through FY 1963, 

Federal support for armory construction totaled 

$167.7 million and for non-armory construction 

$30.6 million.

platoon attack courses. 

During FY 1963, Project 8541 Minor Con-* 

struction funds in the amount of $157,000 were 

allocated to Hq USCONARC for support of material 

costs for the construction of 25 Rifle Squad and 

Platoon Attack Courses at seven locations. An additional 14 courses were provided at three separate 

locations at an approximate cost of $108,424 by 

allocation of funds directly to the separate States 

concerned. 

The FY 1963 Construction Program for the 

Army National Guard supported the construction of 

new armory and non-armory facilities and the continued modification, alteration, expansion, and rehabilitation of these facilities to keep pace with the 

modern reorganization and realignment of the Army 

National Guard. For FY 1963, the Construction 

Authorization was $11,000,000, which added to 

$12,265,000 carried over from FY 1962 made a 

total Construction Authorization Program of $23,-

265,000. The appropriation for Military Construction was $7,000,000, and funds carried over from 

FY 1962 made a total of $23,401,769 available for 

FY 1963. The obligational target for the fiscal year 

was $17 million. Against this amount, the Army 

National Guard obligated $12,264,223.70. The 

shortfall in reaching the obligational objective was 

primarily due to the reorganization and realignment 

of the Army National Guard and the deferral of 

project authorizations until a firm new troop structure was established and the readjusted inventory 

and stationing plans for the new troop basis were 

received. 

The analysis of the inventory and stationing 

plans of all the States, based upon the 1963 reorganization and realignment of the Army National Guard 

indicates that 2,807 armory facilities are utilized to 

house, administer and train all units of the Army 

National Guard.

Of these, 487 are proposed new armory projects and 

360 are for alterations, additions, expansion, or conversion of existing buildings. 

Congress has appropriated a total of $179.1 

million dollars for armory construction in the 11-year 

period through FY 1963. The remaining dollar 

requirement to complete 847 armory type projects 

for FY 1964 and forward is estimated at approximately $95 million dollars.

Also under the provisions of the National Defense Facilities Act of 1950, $33,174,369 (including 

$2,630,587.00 eviction funds) have been obligated 

for non-armory construction through FY 1963. 

These funds provided for the following types of construction projects: 

COMBINED FIELD MAINTENANCE SHOPS 

These shops are authorized for construction on 

the basis of one per State. However, in States with 

two or more divisions, authorized Field Training 

Equipment Concentration Sites, or having unusual 

geographical considerations as in Hawaii, additional 

shops or sub-shops are authorized. Field maintenance of all Federal equipment issued to the State, 

except aircraft, is performed at these facilities. As 

of 30 June 1963, Federal funds have been utilized 

in the construction of 43 Combined Field Maintenance Shops. 

ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE SHOPS 

These shops are authorized for each battalion, 

or comparable organization, or grouping of units. 

Organizational maintenance is performed at these 

facilities on all Federal equipment except aircraft, 

issued to the battalion, or comparable organization 

or grouping of units. A total of 117 organizational 

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

program. 

ARMY AVIATION MAINTENANCE SHOPS 

These shops are authorized for construction on 

the basis of one per State for each State having five 

or more assigned aircraft. For States having two 

Divisions, two such shops are provided. All organizational and field maintenance on Army fixed and 

rotary wing aircraft and allied equipment issued to 

the State is performed at these facilities. Thirty-three 

Shop Hangars have been built with Federal funds 

from the beginning of the construction program. 

U. S. PROPERTY AND FISCAL OFFICER 

OFFICE & WAREHOUSE 

An office and warehouse is authorized each State 

for use by the United States Property and Fiscal 

Officer in the administration, receipt, storage, and 

issue of all Federal property required for use by the 

Army National Guard. Federal funds have been 

used in the construction of 19 USP&FO Offices and 

29 USP&FO Warehouses, as of 30 June 1963. 
REAL PROPERTY FEDERALLY CONTROLLED INSTALLATIONS 

The Bureau renders all possible assistance to 

the States in licensing appropriate federally owned 

facilities and in leasing certain types of privately 

owned facilities for Army National Guard use. 

During FY 1963 the Army National Guard utilized the following types of facilities: 

245 Federally owned facilities 

115 Privately owned facilities under Federal lease, 

including: 

36 Army Advisor Offices 

5 USPFO Offices 

46 Target range sites 

25 Aircraft facilities 

3 Organizational Maintenance Shops 

The Bureau screened excess federally owned 

real properties with the States and advised and assisted them in the acquisition of such properties when 

required by the Army National Guard. 

Repairs and Utilities FY 1963 

Approximately $3,471,200.00 was obligated 

under 105 Service Contract agreements with the 

States to maintain, repair and operate Army National 

Guard Facilities. Almost $56,500 was obligated to 

maintain and repair 95 Small Arms Firing Ranges. 

Approximately $865,800 was obligated to support minor new construction, alteration, extension 

and relocation nature. This includes the alterations 

to various inadequate Organizational Maintenance 

Shops for 23 battery rooms, 36 wash racks, 26 hardstand areas, 15 security fencing projects, 21 gasoline 

dispensing systems and 28 Flammable Material Storage Buildings, for the efficient storage and maintenance of vehicular equipment at Battalion level. Also 

included are 56 alterations and 77 minor new construction projects for a total of 286 R&U Construction Projects. 

Troop Facilities at Field Training Sites 

These facilities are designed to provide the 

esesntial requirements for support of Army National 

Guard units during their period of Annual Field 

Training. Facilities may include kitchens, mess halls, 

bath latrines, supply and administrative buildings, 

headquarters buildings and barracks. 

A total of $3,981,175 was obligated to support 

the opening, operating and closing of Annual Field

FOREWORD 

FISCAL YEAR 1963 began with a challenge. During the Berlin crisis of 1961, Air National 

Guardsmen responded with such an impressive degree of professionalism that they earned the nickname, "Instant Airmen." They deployed 216 jet fighters to Europe and were flying tactical missions 

in less than a month after mobilization and, also, without changing step, Air Guard air transport 

units doubled and redoubled their worldwide efforts under MATS and turned in a perfect flying 

safety record in the process. 

With the demobilization of these units early in FY 1963, however, the Air Guard found 

itself with serious problems. Many of its aircraft were retained by the Air Force, which at that 

time was adding new wings to its structure; many Air Guard pilots remained on active duty; and 

many Air Guard airmen, whose lives had been complicated by the callup, elected not to reenlist 

when their tours of duty were up. 

Yet, in the face of these problems, the Air Guard was called upon to move to an even higher 

plateau of readiness—against the possibility of any future callup. That the Air Guard met this 

objective is now a matter of record; a proud chapter in its history of accomplishment. Air Guardsmen converted to new aircraft and trained for new missions when they had to; they conducted 

one of the most successful recruiting drives since World War II; they stood ready for action during 

the Cuban crisis; they went through an extensive reorganization of their unit structure. And then, 

they proceeded toward their goal. 

How the Air Guard moved ahead in a year of challenge is recorded in the following pages. 

COMPTROLLER

Budget 

The President's budget estimate for FY 1963 

contained requirements for the Air National Guard 

for Military Construction, Operations and Maintenance, and National Guard Personnel, Air Force. 

These estimates were prepared on program guidance 

available at the time of submission. Based on the 

justifications in support of these estimated requirements the Congress appropriated the requested funds 

as follows: Military Construction, $14,000,000; 

Operations and Maintenance, $194,400,000; and 

National Guard Personnel, Air Force, $53,000,000. 

In addition to the appropriations, there were anticipated reimbursements of $1.2 million in the Operations and Maintenance area and $138,000 in the 

National Guard Personnel area making a total overall availability of $262,738,000. These appropriations were based on budget estimates for the full 

force. However, because units which were activated 

in FY 1962 were carried over into FY 1963 in active 
duty status for approximately two months, funds 

were withheld by Department of Defense and the 

Bureau of the Budget for Operations and Maintenance and National Guard Personnel, Air Force. 

These funds were held in reserve until it could be 

determined what action or reprogramming could 

be. effected. 

While there were hopes that the funds withheld 

would be considered savings, it soon became apparent that funds would be required to cover the costs 

of the number of additional Air Technicians and 

military personnel returning from active duty and 

which was considerably understated in the FY 1964 

Budget Estimates. Also units which had been deployed overseas had to be re-equipped because they 

were required to have all equipage at the overseas 

bases on return. Funds were also required to cover 

the salary increase of Air Technicians as provided 

under Public Law 87-793, Postal Service and Federal Employees Salary Act of 1962. Finally, and 

most important, was the Berlin crisis and the Cuban 

situation in which the Air National Guard was 

alerted to be prepared and have in place certain units 

for participation if necessary. Consequently, through 

reclama, all of the Operations and Maintenance 

funds were made available. There were however no 

additional funds released for National Guard Personnel, Air Force since the funds withheld represented field training and unit training assemblies 

which, of course, were not performed while the units 

remained on active duty. 

Continuous progress was made in the ANG 

Military Construction Program in the provisioning 

of facilities in accordance with approved programs, 

force structure, and equipment objectives. Because 

appropriations in support of this program are cumulative or "no year" appropriations, progress from a 

financial point of view is therefore being expressed 

in like terms. Against a total FY 1963 availability 

of $23,953,799—which included $14,000,000 of 

new appropriation—construction agencies awarded 

contracts and obligated funds in the amount of 

$17,270,986, or 72% of the program. Additionally, 

projects totalling $2,047,000 were advertised for 

bids during June. The balance of unobligated funds 

is represented by government cost of construction 

projects in process. 

Revisions to the Annual Financial Plans for Operations and Maintenance and National Guard Personnel, Air Force, for FY 1962 were developed and 

made effective 1 November 1962. They reflected 

changes in projected programming as a result of the 

carryover of the units remaining on active duty. 

Through careful monitoring and reprogramming the 

progression in the utilization of funds was the most 

remarkable in the history of the Air National Guard. 

This was evidenced in the high percentage of obligations of available funds which was 99.84% for 

Operations and Maintenance and 99.99% for National Guard Personnel, Air Force. 

The following table represents the funding 

status of the appropriations for the entire Fiscal 

Year 1963.

Accounting and Finance 

Advance Planning for Payment of ANG Personnel 

on Possible Mobilization 

To provide a built-in capability for the immediate and orderly transfer of payments to personnel from the ANG payment system to the USAF 

military pay record system, a project was initiated 

to have all ANG organizations maintain a military 

pay account folder on each member. This folder 

contains the required supporting documents and 

addressograph plates needed to open military pay 

records, record travel payments, and initiate allotment authorizations. The information filled in on 

these forms is maintained on a current basis by 

scheduling a review of the folders by the members 

three times per year. 

When coupled with the mobilization orders, 

these documents maintained in a "ready-to-go" condition will provide all the necessary information 

and certifications to enable designated USAF Accounting and Finance Officers to open military pay 

records on ANG personnel. 

Punch-Card Mechanization Program 

The punch card mechanization program was 

extended to include all flying bases except Anchorage, Alaska. As of 30 June 1963, 66 bases had 

received data processing equipment, the remaining 

21 bases were scheduled for equipment delivery by 

September 1963. A procedures manual was prepared and distributed which included detailed ma-
chine processing instructions for supply, maintenance, dollar accounting, transportation, and other 

applications. As of 30 June, 47 bases had converted 

the supply account to a mechanized system, 43 bases 

were processing maintenance (AFM 66-1) reports 

locally, 23 bases had converted their dollar accounting, and 50 bases had completed mechanization of 

the Base Equipment Management Offices. 

The ANG Data Processing Center at St. Louis 

was given the additional mission of maintaining the 

ANG Manpower Authorization File and preparing 

military manning documents for the National Guard 

Bureau. Details were also completed for establishment of the Bureau's CEMO (Command Equipment 

Management Office) account at St. Louis during 

August 1963. 

PERSONNEL 

On 30 June 1963, the federally recognized 

strength of the Air National Guard was 74,325. 

This figure was approximately 3.2% over the programmed fiscal year end strength of 72,000. Total 

strength increased 24,006 over that of 30 June 

1962; officer strength increased 3,372, airman 

strength increased 20,634. The large increase in 

both officer and airman strength was primarily due 

to demobilization of units ordered to active duty 

in FY 1962, and the very successful results of 

"Operation Try One." 

For comparison purposes, ANG personnel 

strengths^ for FY 1957 through FY 1963 are shown

Operation "Try One" 

In late Fall of 1962, the ANG strength was 

far short of the 72,000 authorization and was continuing to decrease. This problem was generated 

primarily by the Berlin and Cuba build-up of the 

Reserve Forces. Many airmen who completed enlistments during the mobilization period were lost 

immediately after demobilization; others completed 

enlistments and/or service obligations shortly after 

demobilization. In addition, mobilized units recruited no personnel during the year of mobilization. 

In early January the Bureau announced the 

problem to the Adjutants General by letter and in 

early February launched a recruiting program designated "Try One". Emphasis was placed on procurement of prior service enlistees who were offered the 

opportunity to enlist for one year to try the ANG, 

and for the ANG to try them. In addition, the reenlistment rate was emphasized and retention incentives were developed both by NGB and by the States 

and units. Maximum publicity efforts were initiated. 

As a result the ANG strength climbed from 67,177 

on 31 Dec 62 to 74.325 on 30 June 1963, a total 

strength increase of 7,148 during the 6 month 

period.

Of the prior service men enlisted, 3,373 enlisted 

for one year, 2,040 for 3 years, and 552 for 6 years. 

To increase interest, the program was simulated 

monthly by showing the standing of each State reflected as a horse race. Each State was given a quota 

for prior service recruitment and a total net gain 

quota. The percent of accomplishment of the net 

gain quota by each State was plotted on a race track 

monthly and distributed to show comparative stand-
ings. As of 30 June, 32 States had reached or exceeded 100% of the net gain quota with the three 

top States being Puerto Rico 239.6%; North Dakota, 217.6%; Idaho, 202.9%. The success of this 

program is directly attributable to the "can do" attitude of all members of the ANG and their long and 

diligent efforts to achieve the goal. Final standings

Special Appointment Program 

The Special Appointment Program was discontinued in FY 1963 at the direction of USAF. This 

program allowed for the commissioning of highly 

trained and dedicated airmen and warrant officers 

of the ANG whose extensive technical experience 

more than compensated for deficiencies in formal 

education normally necessary for a direct commission. 
The suspension of this program now makes it 

necessary that applicants for appointment in the 

grades above 2/Lt must qualify under existing criteria (AFM 36-5, AFM 36-1) for constructive 

service that will justify the higher grades.

Rated Officers 

The Air National Guard continued to have a 

shortage of rated officers, the largest shortages existing in the pilot and navigator career fields. These 

shortages were generated primarily from increases 

in authorizations as a result of the conversion over 

the last three years of some nineteen fighter units 

to a heavy transport mission. Other contributing 

factors include the addition of group structures to 

all TAC fighter and TAC reconnaissance units, the 

conversion of nine aeromedical transport squadrons 

(light) to seven aeromedical transport squadrons 

(med), and two to (heavy); the pilot losses to the 

active inventory and increased attrition to the AF 

reserves generated by the Berlin and Cuban contingency. Navigator shortages were primarily due to 

the increase in the heavy transport force. 

A shortage of younger rated officers in our 

inventory became evident and emphasis was placed 

on procurement of younger pilots and navigators 

from AF Reserve sources and will continue to be 

stressed. In addition, increased emphasis was placed 

on procurement and training of new ANG pilots 

and navigators. 

Airmen 

Because of the success of "Operation Try 

One", approximately 7.297 prior servicemen were 

enlisted in the Air National Guard. Again this year, 

there has been an increase in the proportion of older 

non-prior service airmen enlisted. Airmen gains 

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

shown below for FY 1958 through FY 1963:

Aptitude and Specialty Knowledge Testing 

Specialty Knowledge Testing 

Specialty Knowledge Tests measure job knowledge and are used in conjunction with other criteria 

for upgrading to the next higher skill level of individual specialties. 

Five and seven level tests were administered to 

9,750 airmen during the year, a majority of whom 
attained scores in the unquestionably qualified category. (Tests for upgrading to the 3-skill level are 

administered and scored locally; therefore, statistics 

are not available.) Breakdown by 5- and 7-skill 

level is as follows:

Other Personnel Research Tests 

No significant change in aptitude tests utilized 

by the Air National Guard occurred during FY 

1963. 

During the year, 567 USAF Supervisory Examinations (USAFSE) were administered to airmen 

for the purpose of determining prerequisite supervisory aptitude and leadership ability for promotion 

to grades E-8 and E-9. 64.2% obtained passing 

scores. 

Air Technician Program 

The Air National Guard Air Technician Program comprises the hard core complement of highly 

skilled, full-time personnel in ANG units. Their 

primary purpose is to facilitate maximum combat 

readiness and training effectiveness of ANG units. 

In addition, they serve as a highly trained cadre of 

personnel which, upon mobilization, can immediately 

and effectively respond at the onset of hostilities in 

the various functional areas. 

The air technician strength on 30 June 1962 

was 10,858. On 30 June 1963, 14,821 air technicians were employed. The increase of 3,963 in 

strength during the fiscal year can be attributed to 

the return of approximately 95 per cent of the air 

technicians who were in active Federal service with 

their Air National Guard units during the Berlin 

Build-up. 

During FY 1963, one State entered into agreement with the Federal government to provide a Federal contribution to their State retirement system. 

There are currently thirteen States participating in 

the State retirement system with two more States 

anticipated in the program for Fiscal Year 1964. 

The maximum contribution by the Federal government is 6.5 per cent of the employee's compensation. 

The "ready now" concept of the Air National 

Guard dictated a number of revolutionary changes 

for the air technician program during the course of 

the fiscal year. The first conclusive step taken to 

evaluate requirements against available resources was 

the formation of an Air Technician Advisory Committee. This committee is comprised of knowledgeable air technicians and State employees who represent all assigned functional areas and who are 

thoroughly conversant with the air technician program. The committee reviews and evaluates all recommended grade changes, changes to position titles 

and all proposed policy matters pertaining to the 

overall program. 

An air technician standard manning document 

system was developed for implementation on 1 July 

1963. This system provides manning equality for 

like-units with like-equipment based on the most 
current known mission requirements. Peculiar missions such as runway alert, control tower operation, 

flight simulator programs, etc. were included as an 

additive to the basic requirements for all units. 

The Federal Salary Reform Act of 1962 was 

implemented for classified employees. Normal withingrade raises and revised Wage Board increases were 

granted during the year. 

School Training 

The Air National Guard continued to place 

personnel in the pilot and navigator training programs, which, in general, consist of undergraduate 

flying training and advanced flying training conducted by the Air Force for ANG officers and aviation cadets (navigators). Adequate spaces were 

provided in Air Force flying schools for advanced 

training of ail ANG fighter-interceptor pilots and 

tactical fighter pilots following their graduation from 

basic flying courses. The USAF Radar Interceptor 

Officer School has been discontinued and an ANG 

Radar Interceptor Officers School is now being conducted by the Air Guard at Portland International 

Airport, Oregon. Further qualification training in 

mission aircraft is conducted by the parent unit. 

Navigator trainees destined to return to a MATS 

unit were given advanced training in overwater 

navigation and MATS route checks by active duty 

MATS units. 

All non-prior service airmen are required, as a 

condition of enlistment, to complete USAF Basic 

Military Training. As in the past the ANG supported three programs to achieve this goal. Each 

began with basic military training, followed by either 

basic technical training and/or on-the-job training 

(OJT) for a total period of six (6) months; immediate entry into a Basic Technical School; or OJT at 

the home station in a unit training status. 

Various familiarization courses and special 

training courses were also made available to Air 

Guardsmen. 

Listed below, by various categories of training 

programs, are the number of individuals entering 

training during FY 1963. 

Personnel Data System 

Action is underway to implement the Air Force 

Personnel Data System within the Air National 

Guard. Members of ANG Consolidated Base Personnel Offices (CBPO) will use Punch Card Accounting Machine equipment for preparation of 

Personnel Data for input to a Computer Center. 

Through Electronic Data Processing, continuously 

up-to-date personnel data, reports, listings, etc., will 

be provided to such agencies as Department of Defense, Hq USAF, NGB, "Gaining" Major Air Commands, Offices of the State Adjutants General, and 

CBPO'S. Card formats and necessary instructions 

for creation of initial input have been provided each 

CBPO; full implementation is scheduled for 1 July 

1964. Implementation of the airman system 

(PDS-A) will follow soon thereafter, but a firm date 

has not been established at this time. 

This system will provide for the training of 

ANG personnel with the same equipment and procedures used by their active duty counterparts, assuring a smooth transition of the Personnel function 

from ANG to active duty status. In addition, numerous personnel reports and responses to request for 

personnel data, now manually prepared at Base level, 

will be eliminated; other personnel actions such as 

preparation of the Morning Report, officer accession 

forms, and Data Records also will be eliminated or 

greatly reduced. 

This system should provide the capability for 

Personnel Administration to keep pace with and 

support, as it should, the operational aspects of the 

ANG. 

Air Advisers 

The Berlin contingency also generated a shortage in AF Advisers. Many advisers completed their 

tours during the period the ANG unit was mobilized. 

Many were transferred during the period of mobilization, and many completed their tours shortly after 

demobilization. Consequently, it was necessary during the year to select and assign approximately 96 

Air Force officer advisers. Airmen advisers are selected, nominated, and assigned by major air commands. Consequently, NGB maintains no statistics 

on this category. As of 30 Jun 63 there were 245 

officer advisers authorized and 238 assigned or 

selected to be assigned.

MEDICAL ACTIVITIES 

The Air National Guard Medical Service continued to equip, train and organize Medical Units 

to meet support requirements of Air National Guard 

operations. Previously augmented squadrons of 

Tactical Fighter and Tactical Reconnaissance were 

reorganized to reflect identifiable Medical Units 

with the ability to operate in place or deployed. As 

a result of these actions, the Air National Guard 

Medical Service now consists of: 

12 Tactical Hospitals 

71 Dispensaries 

2 Aeromedical Transport Groups 

9 Aeromedical Transport Squadrons 

5 Aeromedical Evacuation Squadrons 

16 Aeromedical Evacuation Flights 

Manning and combat ready capabilities have 

progressed very satisfactorily during the past year. 

Factors contributing to this level of improvement 

are: a higher ratio of officers assigned; continued 

improvement of medical facilities; continued procurement of first line medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and supplies; broadening of medical functions and responsibilities; and raising of 

professional and technical capabilities of personnel 

and units through formal and unit training programs. 

The continued training of airmen in the aeromedical field preceptorship or on-the-job training at 

Andrews, Travis and Scott Air Force Bases and a 

four week training period with MATS Aeromedical 

Unit have been highly effective and has speeded up 

the AFSC qualification of airmen in this field. In 

addition, it has been of great benefit in augmenting 

the patient care program at the hospitals. 

Excellent progress has been made in furnishing 

ANG medical units and elements with modern fixed 

type equipment and supplies. The allowances for 

medical equipment in the ANG have undergone 

major revisions. To support this, budgetary requirements were justified and funds provided to equip 

each medical facility adequately. 

During the past year, the ANG completed the 

procurement of 100% Phase I equipment sets for 

the USAF and Department of Defense Medical Materiel Program for Nuclear Casualties, including 

training sets. 

Directives have been published that require 

physical examinations on the same basis as the 

active Air Force thereby eliminating the requirements for mobilization physicals. Vigorous application of the 5BX Plan has also contributed to the 

better "physical readiness" of Air National Guard 

personnel. 

Funds to replace unit mobility equipment lost 

during the Berlin Contingency were approved and 

will be delivered during the 2nd quarter FY 64. 

OPERATIONS AND TRAINING 

Organization 

On 30 June 1963, the Air National Guard had 

670 Federally recognized units organized into 24 

wings, 83 groups and 92 flying squadrons. Total 

military manpower authorizations to support this 

force amounted to 95,634 officers and airman spaces. 

This represents an increase of 31,468 authorizations 

over that shown in the previous report due primarily 

to the recovery of 151 units from active duty status 

in late 1962 and the addition of one air base 

squadron.

• Two F-I04 units were re-equipped with 

F-102 aircraft; the F-104 aircraft were recalled by 

the USAF. 

• Six F-84F units were re-equipped with 

F-100C, F-86H and RF-84F aircraft upon retuth 

from active military service. The USAF retained or 

recalled the major portion of the F-84F aircraft 

following the return of the ANG F-84F units from 

active military service.

Many flying hours were expended in peaking 

selected units during the Cuban crisis. 

Training 

Maximum use was made of training devices 

and instructor teams in the FY 1963 training programs. Other training aids necessary for training 

personnel of units making a transition to new aircraft were distributed to each unit, and Mobile 

Training Detachments (MTDs) were provided these 

units by the Air Training Command. These detachments, assigned at each base for three to four, 

months, are composed of qualified instructors and 

equipment necessary to familiarize personnel with 

the various systems within and procedures for the 

new aircraft. Synthetic instrument trainers, flight 

simulators, cockpit procedure trainers and weapons 

systems evaluators also were delivered to units. 

In addition, on-the-job training advisory teams 

from the Air Training Command visited approximately one-fourth of the Air Guard bases for courses 

of instruction of from two to eight days. 

Annual Field Training 

ANG tactical fighter units conducted their field 

training at ANG permanent training sites. Twentyfive ANG transport units participated in the yearGuardsmen in global transport mission 

train year-round carrying cargo for MA TS 

round field training program. Under that program 

individual members of a unit can spread their 15-day 

active duty tour, with the permission of the commander, over several periods during the year rather 

than 15 consecutive days. A MATS crew, for instance, can take an eight-day tour for an overseas 

flight under the plan, return to their civilian pursuits, 

and later take another seven-day tour for another 

trip. Most Air Defense Command ANG units now 

train under the year-round plan, and all ANG units 

in MATS and ADC are programmed to train under 

this plan eventually. During FY 1963 aircrews of 

all ANG Air Transport (Heavy) units participated 

in overwater training flights in European and Pacific 

areas under Military Air Transport Service operational control. During the last six months of the 

fiscal year, in conjunction with these overwater training flights, 3.8 million pounds of cargo were airlifted 

to overseas points, and 2.6 million pounds brought to 

the United States on return flights. 
In addition, ANG Air Transport and Aeromedical Transport units airlifted more than 15,800 

ANG officers and airmen, plus over 1.3 million 

pounds of cargo and equipment, to and from field 

training sites during the field training period. 

Supplemental Training 

Effective 1 September 1962, Headquarters 

ADC determined that flight deployments to the Air 

Defense Commands Weapons Center would cease 

under the existing plan. Selective test firing projects 

were to be established instead. The Air National 

Guard was included in the plans on an equal and 

equitable basis with units of the ADC and have been 

participating in this program at Tyndall and Holloman Air Force Bases. 

Each year the Air National Guard participates 

in Almanac Photography, which is in direct support 

of TAC requirements. In addition, the ANG photo 

units increase training while supporting TAC in 

backlogged low priority photo requirements. This 

relieved TAC regular forces for higher priority 

targets and increased ANG photo training in all 

areas including photo interpretation, film processing 

and print and film reproduction. During FY 1963, 

a total of thirty-three RB-57 sorties and ninety 

RF84F sorties were flown in completing the requirements. 

In another example of active forces and Air 

National Guard partnership, the ANG provided jet 

aircraft as targets in support of NORAD and ADC 

requirements for ADC Air Division ORI tests of 

their units and also NORAD for controller testing 

and controller training in relation to the control of 

ADC Interceptor aircraft against the ANG striker 

or target force aircraft. NORAD systems attempt to 

intercept each target aircraft several times during 

its run to give the defense system a maximum of 

training. Air Guard target aircraft are given precise 

tracks to fly, set up to match simulated tracks programmed into a computer and displayed to the 

NORAD battle staff so they can coordinate the exercise and make evaluations of the success of the 

weapons systems involved. The ANG provided 51 

F/RF-84; 14 F-86H; 69 F-89I; 17 F-100; and 94 

RB-57 stories during FY 1963 in support of Wide 

Awake or Eye Opener target requests by NORAD 

and ADC. 

Tactical fighter units, to attain and maintain 

proficiency in weapons delivery, staged their aircraft 

and aircrews at field training sites and Air Force 

bases. These exercises, usually conducted on weekends, were for air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons 

employment and were performed in accordance with 

the techniques and tactics developed by the Tactical 

Air Command. 

Military Air Transport Service provided a 

training program at Moffett NAS. California, where 

twelve pilots and twelve flight engineers became 

qualified in the C-121 Constellation preparatory to 

the receipt by ANG units of the first C-121 G. Simulator time was provided all aircrew members. Flight 

line training was given fifty air technician maintenance personnel. 

Operations 

Flying Hours 

During FY 1963, the Air National Guard flew 

a total of 387,423 flying hours, of which 248,670 

were flown in jet aircraft, 106,227 in tactical support aircraft, and 32,526 in C-47 support aircraft. 

Maximum utilization of available hours was made in 

accomplishing the necessary combat readiness training of the new ANG pilots who replaced the pilots 

who elected to remain on active duty. Many hours 

were expended in peaking tactical fighter end tactical 

reconnaissance units and in accomplishing special 

airlift requirements during the Cuban crisis. All 

authorized flying hours in the ANG program were 

flown during FY 1963.

Flying Safety 

The Air National Guard again established a 

new low in its major aircraft accident rate as compared to previous fiscal years. The accident rate 

(based on the number of accidents per 100,000 flying hours) for FY 1962 was 10.86 which was a 
record low at that time. With continued emphasis 

being placed on safety by Hq USAF and the National Guard Bureau and through the concentrated 

efforts of the officers and men in the field, the Air 

Guard's new all time record low rate of 8.52 was 

established. 

The reduction in the ANG accident rate each 

year indicates that more training and effectiveness are 

being gained for fewer dollars each year, that more 

lives are being saved each year, for which no amount 

of dollars can replace, and that each individual in 

the Air National Guard is doing a better and more 

professional job than he did the previous year.

Air Defense Alerf 

During the year, ANG squadrons, including the 

Hawaii ANG, participated in the Air Defense Alert 

Program. These squadrons provide aircraft, aircrews, and support personnel for the nation's air 

defense. During their duty tours, aircrews are on a 

5-minute alert to intercept unidentified and potentially hostile aircraft. Units engaged in these missions realize valuable training benefits while contributing directly to U. S. Defense. 

AIR NATIONAL GUARD FLYING HOURS - FY 1963 

Cuban Contingency 

On 22 October 1962, the President appraised 

the Nation of the serious threat to our security which 

existed just a few miles off the southern tip of 

Florida. The Congress had provided him authority 

to mobilize the Reserve Components to the extent 

necessary to meet threats of this type. The National 

Guard Bureau immediately summoned the commanders of fourteen ANG Tactical Groups and 

Units to Washington and briefed them on the possibility of mobilization. These commanders returned 

to their Units and were prepared for immediate 

mobilization and deployment to any part of the 

globe. Although not called to Federal Active Duty 

during the Cuban Contingency, the units were placed 

in an accelerated training status and prepared for 

possible no notice deployment. 

ANG heavy air transport units in the Eastern 

half of the United States assisted MATS' airlift 

capability throughout the world during the Cuban 

crisis, also. Twenty-eight special airlift missions 

were flown by these units to such scattered places 

as Germany, France, Greenland, Bermuda and 

Chile. These served to replace part of the MATS 

airlift for high priority cargo and personnel in support of the Cuban situation. Our F86H Fighter 

Interceptor Squadron in Puerto Rico was increased 

from a 14-hour daylight alert to a 24-hour alert 

status at the request of the Commander-in-Chief 

Atlantic Forces. Our Aircraft Control and Warning 

units in Puerto Rico and Hawaii also stepped-up 

their activities to provide the sole radar coverage in 

their respective areas. 

On the evening of 22 October, with, in most 

cases, as little as three hours notice, a total of 95 

Strategic Air Command B47 Aircraft dispersed and 

relocated on 17 Air National Guard Bases or locations. At the same time, a total of 91 ADC F101, 

F106, and F102 aircraft dispersed and relocated on 

9 ANG bases or locations. Air National Guard response was immediate. All functions and equipment 

available capable of handling these SAC and ADC 

requirements were provided without delay. This included supply, administrative functions, food service, 

civil engineering, security, local populous coordination, liaison and coordination with local and Federal 

Agencies (FAA, FBI, City Aviation Authorities, 

Local Police, Motel and Restaurant Service to dispersed personnel). In establishing Command Posts 

Ops Centers in the general support of SAC and ADC 

dispersed Air Crews and operating on a 24-hour 

basis, the Air National Guard manpower utilized 

I I I I I I I r I I I I 
23 October 1962 through 16 November 1962 was

bases used as dispersal points operated on a 24-hour 

per day basis throughout this time period. The above 

does not include the mandays or man hours during 

the normal work day and is in addition to the work 

load covered by ADC-SAC support personnel 

brought into the Air National Guard Bases during 

the Cuban Crisis.

addiitonal rooms as required for Ops Centers. Command Posts, etc. 

The successful Air National Guard response to 

the short notice SAC and ADC dispersal can be 

attributed to Air National Guard participation in 

USAF, ADC. MATS. TAC, and TAC exercises such 

as Skyshield and Clutch Pedal and is the result of 

Air National Guard participation in ADC Division 

level exercises and ORI's. TAC special exercises. 

and the past experience gained by our National 

Guard units in field training moves and Air National 

Guard weapons systems employment exercises. 

In addition to SAC and ADC dispersal, all Air 

National Guard ADC Units were advised to peakup operational conditions because of the Cuban 

Operation. 

GROUND COMMUNICATIONS 

The Communications-Electronics and Weather 

(C-E&W) forces made significant gains during FY 

1963 in manning, equipping and training. Our objective of providing services to the active establishment while the ANG units are in training has continued and increased. 

During FY 1963 our C-E&W forces consisted 

of 76 C&E units and 31 weather flights located in 

35 States. Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. 

Unit manning document spaces authorized C-E&W 

Forces total approximately 15.000. Generally, these 

units are manned, trained and equipped to perform 

their wartime mission. 

The C-E&W Forces are mixed as follows: 

• Four communications groups consisting of 

25 units; two mobile communications squadrons, 

consisting of a total of nine flights, and one special 
communications squadron. These would be gained 

by Air Force Communications Service (AFCS) in 

the event of mobilization. 

• Two tactical control groups consisting of a 

total of sixteen units are assigned to Tactical Air 

Command for training supervision and would become TAC units upon mobilization. 

• There are 15 Ground Electronics Engineering Installation Agency (GEEIA) units and two 

communications maintenance units in the program. 

These are under the training cognizance of Air Force 

Logistics Command and would be gained by that 

command upon mobilization. 

• The six (fixed) aircraft control and warning 

(AC&W) squadrons continue to perform air defense 

missions; three in Hawaii in support of PACAF, two 

in the ZI in support of Air Defense Command 

(ADC) and one in Puerto Rico in training for support of the Antilles Defense Forces. 

• Thirty-one weather flights are activated and 

training for supplementing Air Weather Service if 

mobilized. 

During FY 1963 the 157th Tactical Control 

Group (MOANG), St. Louis, Mo. and its seven 

subordinate units participated in SWIFT STRIKE II 

Exercise in the Ft. Bragg. N. C. maneuver area. That 

group provided a complete Tactical Air Control 

System to the Commander, Strike Air Force 

(AFSTRIKE), receiving the best possible mobility 

and systems operation training in the process. 

The 152d Tactical Control Group was released 

from active duty during the first quarter of Fiscal 

Year 1963. In late Calendar Year 1962 and early 

Calendar Year 1963, the units suffered severe losses 

in both officer and airman personnel. This was due 

largely to expiration of the six-year enlistment cycle 

(1951-1957-1963). But, by 30 June 1963, all 

units had recruited sufficient personnel to replace 

most losses and bring them to an acceptable level 

of manning. 

Two fixed squadrons located at Koko Crater, 

Oahu and Kokee Kauai have continued to provide 

full time air defense facilities to the Commander, 

PACAF in the Hawaiian Island complex. The third 

AC&W squadron in Hawaii ha<? been used full time 

during periods of exceptional international tension, 

also as a radio relay site in the Kauai-Oahu communications link and as a week-end training site. 

Contracts were consummated during Fiscal Year 

1963 for construction of joint-use facilities (HANG/ 

FA A) at Mt. Kaala, Oahu to be occupied upon completion when the unit now operating at Koko Crater 

Guardsmen in GEEIA unit plan installation 

at Cape Kennedy during summer training 

will be relocated there. A new modern and much 

improved radar set will be installed by the Hawaii 

ANG at Kaala. FAA will use the same radar set 

to transmit to an FAA Air Route Traffic Control 

center at another location. FAA is constructing the 

access road to Mt. Kaala at a cost of approximately 

$1.2 million. 

The two fixed AC&W units located at Salt Lake 

City, Utah and Greeley, Colorado also provide full 

time air defense facilities (Master Direction Centers) 

(MDC's) in those areas to the Commander. Air 

Defense Command. In addition, those units operate 

Master Surveillance Stations (MSS) in the FAA Air 

Route Traffic Control centers at Salt Lake City 

Municipal Airport and at Longmont, Colorado. 

The AC&W Squadron in Puerto Rico operates 

an air defense facility on a 14-hour per day basis in 

support of the air defense mission of the Commander, Antilles Defense Command and the ANG 

flying organization. This AC&W organization is 

scheduled to begin full time operation of a tactical 

AC&W site in the vicinity of Ramey AFB in the 

near future. 

All these operations satisfy urgent Air Force 

requirements, at much reduced costs. They also provide the best possible training for ANG personnel. 

During FY 1963 the 15 GEEIA squadrons and 

the two communications maintenance squadrons 

have continued to train by working on "live projects," installing and repairing Air Force facilities and 

equipment. They have trained at 88 USAF and 

ANG bases and sites this fiscal year. Savings accruing to the Air Force during FY 1963 are now estimated by Hq GEEIA at approximately $750,000. 

The two mobile communications squadrons 

with their nine flights have a wartime mission to provide emergency mission support through NAVAIDS, 
Air Traffic Control facilities and point-to-point radio 

communications wherever required in AFCS. Participation with the ANG flying organizations during 

field training exercises has provided excellent training 

and, at the same time, has reduced the support 

required from the active establishment to a very 

small amount. Training in unit mobility is accomplished by deploying these units to their summer 

field training sites in the same manner they would 

be deployed to "bare strip" bases in event of mobilization. 

The 280th Special Communications Squadron 

(Special) has continued to train at Maxwell AFB 

to operate the Maxwell Communications Center and 

to provide augmentation to those minimum forces 

maintained by the 2047th Communications Squadron 

of the regular establishment. Air Force conducts 

frequent "no notice" exercises for personnel of the 

280th to insure their readiness status. 

The four ANG communications groups deployed up and down the East and West Coasts during summer field training in the first quarter of FY 

1963. They were deployed to establish minimum 

command and control communications to Air Force 

bases and recovery bases in those areas. Primary 

means of communications was FM links installed 

and operated by the Radio Relay Squadrons of those 

groups. Those circuits were backed up by high 

frequency radio teletype and voice circuits also operated by units of the communications groups. That 

exercise demonstrated the capability of those units 

to provide a system on which USAF could build if 

required in an emergency. 

One additional weather flight was activated during Fiscal Year 1963 in St. Louis, Mo. for a mobilization mission recognized and documented by Air 

Weather Service and MATS. Action is now underway to redesignate these 31 units to mobile weather 

CIVIL ENGINEERING 

flights and to equip them with the latest meteorological equipment available. Air Force has agreed to 

provide (on an indefinite loan basis) one AN/ 

MMO-2 meteorological van complete with all required observer instrumentation, to each of the ANG 

flights. 

New equipment has been received during FY 

1963, including mobile control towers (AN/MRN12) and automatic dial switchboards of the AN/ 

FTC-18 type. Authorization has also been obtained 

for (KWM2A) single side band equipment for use 

in flying organizations for point-to-point communications. 

A contract was consummated during this fiscal 

year for modification of 100 sets of high frequency 

communications equipment to convert it to single 

side band. This is mission equipment for C&E units 

for point-to-point communications and provides both 

voice and teletype capabilities. 

Terminal NAVAIDS (TACAN) sets were installed at Bradley Field, Connecticut; Martin Airport, Baltimore; Westfield, Massachusetts; and McIntyre ANG Base during FY 1963. 

AFCS has agreed to take over three of the six 

control towers now being operated by ANG personnel, during the first and second quarters of FY 

1964. They are making plans to assume operation 

of those at Martinsburg, W. Va.; Key Field, Meridian, Miss.; and Springfield, Ohio during that 

time period. Efforts will be continued to have FAA 

or AFCS to take over the remaining three as soon 

as possible. 

The outlook for the success of our C-E&W 

Forces during FY 1964 remains optimistic. Firm 

wartime roles and missions are in sight for all organizations and personnel are in the highest state of 

operational readiness they have ever been in the 

history of the ANG. 

The facilities required in the accomplishment of 

the Air National Guard mission are limited to the 

minimum requirements of the Flying Units, Training 

Sites and Support Units such as Aircraft Control 

and Warning, Communications, and Radio Relay 

Squadrons. On 30 June 1963 the Air National 

Guard operated 92 flying bases, 5 permanent field 
Typical ANG installatitm 

training sites, and 44 non-flying installations, strategically located throughout the United States, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. 

This fiscal year saw the demobilization of the 

units that had been mobilized for the Berlin Crisis. 

These units, returning to state status, had many requirements for facility modification due to aircraft 

changes; also the conversion of several units from 

the augmented squadron to the group structure has 

generated requirements for modifications and additions to existing facilities. 

Construction 

The FY 1963 Construction Program supported 

the continued modification and expansion of the 

ANG base structure to keep pace with the more 

modern jet aircraft and changing missions. The FY 

1963 Military Construction Program amounted to 

$23,953,799 which included a new appropriation 

of $14,000,000. Against this total, ANG obligated 

$17,270,986. 

New construction includes the following: seven 

runway extensions, including taxiways, and rehabilitation; seven operational apron expansions, strengthening, and rehabilitation; one hangar addition and 

modification; one aircraft maintenance dock; one 

supply warehouse; one automotive maintenance 

shop; one AC&W Operations building; one communications building. 

The following type of facilities were constructed 

under the Minor Construction Program: paint, oil 

and dope storage buildings; AGE maintenance 

shops; engine build-up shops; power check pads; 

AVGAS dispensing systems; and the erection of 

radar towers. 

Major Repair and Modification 

In FY 1963 some 400 major repair and modification projects were accomplished on ANG facilities. 

The total cost of this program was $2,264,361. The 

work included under this program was generated by 

aircraft conversions, and the requirement for modifications to accommodate more complex support 

equipment. 

Maintenance and Operations 

The. maintenance of facilities and the operation 

of utility systems at ANG bases were accomplished 

by service contracts and agreements between the 

federal government and the various states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Under the terms 

of these service contracts and agreements the federal government reimburses the states 75% of the 

actual cost for maintenance of facilities and the 

utilities. Total federal government cost for this program for FY 1963 was $8,900,000. 67 
SYSTEMS AND LOGISTICS 

Supply and Services 

Continued emphasis was placed on the build-up 

of equipment within the Air National Guard units to 

further enhance the "Ready-Now" concept. The Air 

Force Equipment Management System (Base Equipment Management Office/Command Equipment 

Management Office) was adopted by the Air National Guard and was implemented by the Bureau 

and ANG Bases on 1 December 1962. The ANG 

Equipment Allowance List and the ANG Equipment 

Component List supplemental allowance system were 

phased out and replaced by USAF allowance documents. Action was taken to authorize ANG Airmen 

the Standard USAF (AFR 67-57) Clothing Allowance effective on 1 July 1963. All ANG Airmen 

were issued the light-weight blue uniform during 

FY 1963. Fifty additional ANG Base Supply Accounts were mechanized during FY 1963 bringing 

the total number of bases mechanized to 64. The 

mechanization of remaining bases is progressing 

according to schedule. The Supply and Services 

Branch, Air Systems & Logistics Division was reorganized on 31 December 1962 to realign responsibilities and operations to conform with the requirements of the USAF Equipment Management 

System. Two additional ANG primary supply points 

have been established at Olmsted AFB, Pennsylvania 

and Cheyenne, Wyoming to support ANG C-121 

aircraft on overseas flights. These primary supply 

points will preposition aircraft spares at overseas 

locations and were scheduled to be in full operation 

by 1 September 1963. 

Quick Engine Change Rehabilitation Program 

Maintenance 

The Air National Guard Quick Engine Change 

Kit (QEC) reconditioning program at Marietta, 

Georgia progressed extremely well during FY 1963. 

Two hundred QEC kits have been reconditioned and 

distributed to ANG C/KC-97 organizations. This 

program will be continued through FY 1964. During FY 1963, sufficient funds were not available to 

accomplish the extensive corrosion control required 

on ANG F-89J aircraft in a contractor's facility. 

The cost of this program for 92 aircraft was 

$1,380,000. The National Guard Bureau recommended scheduling the aircraft into one ANG base 

and doing the work by Contract Field Team. Work 

was started about 1 August 1962. During November a close review of the work package was made 

and manhours per aircraft were reduced from 1500 

manhours per aircraft to 800 manhours per aircraft 

without decreasing the scope of maintenance performed. This was accomplished by insistence that 

the corrosion treatment and painting be accomplished on a production line basis. Contractor overhead personnel were reduced from 13 personnel to 

six personnel. During December the average manhours per aircraft were further reduced to 730 manhours per aircraft and in May to 650 manhours per 

aircraft. This program has produced a safe clean 

aircraft for the ANG and saved the Air Force approximately $871,000. This program will be continued through FY 1964 to complete the remaining 

163 F-89J aircraft in the ANG inventory. 

During FY 1963, the Air National Guard received 26 C-121 aircraft, of which 24 required engine retrofit. This retrofit consisted of the removal 

of R-3350-91 and the installation of R-3350-93 engines. The change was predicated on increasing the 

operating engine life expectancy. The work was 

accomplished by International Aircraft Service. It 

started during September 1962 and was'completed 

the end of May 1963. A total of 62 F-102A aircraft were programmed for IRAN (Inspect and Repair As Necessary) by Mobile Air Materiel Area 
DC. ANG F-lOOs 

during FY 1963. This program will be continued 

in FY 1964 with a total of 65 programmed. During 

FY 1963, Project Highwire was established for the 

IRAN and rewiring of 94 F-100 aircraft. The total 

number included seven F-100F, 27 F-100A and 60 

F-100C aircraft. North American Aviation performed the work on the F-100A/C aircraft. The 

IRAN on the F-100F aircraft was accomplished at 

Sacramento Air Materiel Area. Project Highwire 

will .continue in FY 1964 at International Aircraft 

Service, a total of 97 programmed during FY 1964. 

Modification 770 Program was established for the 

modification of 15 KC-97G aircraft to the cargo 

configuration. The 770 modification program will 

continue in FY 1964, with 120 aircraft programmed. 

A special maintenance program was established 

for the tear-down of an HU-16B aircraft to probe 

internal corrosion. Wings, vertical fin, stabilizer, 

landing gear, all control surfaces and interior furnishings were removed, to gain access to structural 

fittings and problem areas. An aircraft was selected 

from the Rhode Island unit, and the work was performed by a civilian contract field team (from the 

Aerospace Operations Division of the Dynalectron 

Corporation) at West Virginia Air National Guard 

hangar at Kanawha Airport. The contract field team 

was assisted by Air Guard personnel of the West 

Virginia unit. 

Aircraft Inventory 

During FY 1963, the Air National Guard assigned aircraft inventory increased from 1,263 on 

30 June 1962 to 1,658 on 1 July 1963. The inventory increase was due primarily to the return to 

Guard status of the units which were federalized 

during the Berlin Contingency. During this period, 

the air transport units received KC-97G aircraft and 

the F models were declared excess to Air Guard requirements. In June 1963, the Air Guard received 

its first C-121G aircraft from Naval Air Station, 

Moffett Field, California, and the aircraft was assigned to the 187th Acromedical Transport Squadron, Cheyenne, Wyoming. Also, the Air Guard relinquished its F-104 aircraft to the Air Force during 

this period. ANG received F-102's as a replacement aircraft for two units, a third unit was converted to the C-97 mission. 

Vehicles 

Replacement of aged and obsolete vehicles continued during FY 1963 as programmed. Some spray 

de-icer equipment, considered vitally necessary to 

the maintenance and operation of large transport 

aircraft was received during FY 1963. Fifteen 

O-llA Crash trucks were made available from 

USAF and assigned to the units supporting C/KC97 and C-121 aircraft. Additional O-llA Crash 

trucks will be provided during FY 1964 by USAF.
