TO THE SECRETARIES OF THE ARMY AND THE AIR FORCE: 

This 63d Annual Report of the Chief, National Guard Bureau, for the fiscal 

year ended 30 June 1969, is respectfully submitted. 

The achievements of the year reflect a professional competence never before 

attained by the National Guard. 

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 all States, the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, without which 

this progress report would not have been possible. 

The year marked the return to State control of the Air National Guard units 

which had been ordered to active duty by the President's mobilization orders 

of 25 January and 11 April 1968-10,511 men in 14 major units from 12 States 

and the District of Columbia. This included tactical fighter and tactical 

reconnaissance squadrons which served in the Republic of Vietnam, the 

Republic of Korea, and Japan. All the Air Guard units were returned to Air 

Guard status under State control with an overall retention rate of 70 percent. 

The mobilized Army Guard units remained on active duty —12,234 men in 34 

major units from 17 States. Eight combat and combat support units were 

deployed to the Republic of Vietnam where they performed in a highly 

professional manner. Individual Army Guardsmen also were assigned to 

Southeast Asia. Army Guardsmen there totaled more than 7,000 —more than 

half of the 12,234 mobilized. 

All the mobilized units of the Army and Air Guard received the praise of 

Army and Air Force commanders. The Guardsman's enthusiasm, know-how 

2 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
and "can-do" attitude, esprit de corps, and his desire to do the best possible 

job, all combined to make him a competent professional in Vietnam and 

wherever he served. The teamwork developed in Guard units over periods 

of several years was a distinct asset. 

The effective mobilization has reinforced the wisdom of the Air Guard 

Combat Beef program, the Army Guard reorganization, and the efforts of the 

Departments of Defense, the Army and the Air Force to provide adequate 

resources and training prior to mobilization of the Guard. The professional 

performance of mobilized Guard units —both Army and Air —has demonstrated 

more clearly than ever before that if the Guard is properly manned and 

equipped, it can perform combat service immediately upon mobilization. 

Professional competence again paid off tremendously for the Guard and for 

our Nation in the Guard's performance of civil disturbance duty. No doubt the 

readiness and availability of the Guard, together with the improved readiness 

of other law enforcement agencies and community efforts in correcting the 

root causes of civil disorders, have helped to reduce the number and size 

of such disorders. The number of Guardsmen called to State active duty for 

civil disturbances in FY 1969 was less than half the number called in 

FY 1968. No active Federal service was required for civil disturbance duty 

during the year. 

The Army Guard completed the first year of service after its reorganization in 

FY 1968. The redistribution of equipment to support the reorganization was 

completed during the year. The Bureau issued new regulations raising the 

standards for appointtnent, promotion and retention of Army Guard officers. 

A firm foundation was established, insuring an orderly, uniform progression 

to desired readiness levels by all Army Guard units. 

Plans were completed to provide essential logistical support for the Army 

Guard units scheduled for demobilization and return to State status 

during FY 1970. 

Army National Guard Air Defense units continued their outstanding 

performance during the year, with an Army Guard unit winning the award 

to the outstanding Nike Hercules battery in ARADCOM. Also, 13 of 20 

awards presented to CONUS Nike Hercules and Hawk Missile units went to 

Army Guard Air Defense units. 

The Air Guard section of the report reflects the continued support of the 

active Air Force in important missions around the world, without 

mobilization. The Air Guard's effective performance reflects the continued 

flexibility of the Guard in performing new missions required by the active 

Air Force and reaffirms the important role of the Air Guard in our 

Nation's defense posture. 

One of the most important items occurring during the year was the 

implemention of Public Law 90-486, The National Guard Technician Act of 

1968. This Act made National Guard technicians Federal employees with 

a uniform retirement program. The Office of Technician Personnel was 

created in the Bureau to insure that technicians of both the Army and the Air 

Guard are managed under standard procedures in accordance with the law. 

Finally, this report reflects a status of achievement which, I believe, provides 

the National Guard with the leadership, training, professional competence 

and management necessary to perform efficiently and effectively whatever 

critical roles and missions might be required by our Nation in the future.

MOBILIZATION 

6 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
The National Guard mobilization of 1968, marked by combat service in Vietnam, neared completion as FY 1969 

came to an end. All Air Guard units ordered to active duty 

in January and April 1968 had been demobilized, with the 

last units being released to State control on 18 June 1969. 

The Army Guard units remained on active duty. However, two ARNG units, the 650th Medical Detachment 

(Dental) from Alabama and the 126th Composite Service 

Company from Illinois, were scheduled to return from 

Southeast Asia during the early weeks of FY 1970. 

A review of the mobilization shows:

9 ANNUAL REPORT 

ARMY NATIONAL GUARD 

Army National Guard units from 17 States were alerted 

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

Of the assigned strength of 12,922 in these 34 major units 

on the day of alert, 12,234 —representing 94.7 percent-

entered active duty with their units. 

The major elements mobilized were: 29th Infantry 

Brigade (Separate), Hawaii (with its brigade aviation com-

pany from California), and the 69th Infantry Brigade (Sep-

arate), Kansas (with one mechanized infantry battalion 

from Iowa's 133d Infantry (Mechanized), and the 1st 

Squadron, 18th Armored Cavalry, from California. Addi-

tionally, 22 combat support and nine service support 

units were ordered to active duty. 

Alabama's 650th Medical Detachment (Dental) was the 

first mobilized Army Guard unit to deploy to the Republic 

of Vietnam, arriving in-country on 27 August 1968. Unit 

personnel totaling 32 were virtually all infused with only 

four dental officers, one administrative officer, and four 

enlisted men remaining at the Long Binh dental clinic. 

Additionally, the unit provided a small field detachment 

at Bearcat, an isolated although relatively "close-in" base 

camp. The 650th, under the 44th Medical Brigade, was 

assigned the mission of augmenting dental service to the 

Army's massive combat support at Long Binh. However, 

all infused personnel were members of mobile unit teams 

assigned throughout the Republic of Vietnam. 

All members of the teams participated in some form of 

civic action primarily through MEDCAPS (Medical Civic 

Action Programs). However, one dental officer for a period 

of seven weeks taught two Montagnard youths and one 

Vietnamese girl to perform emergency dental care at the 

two hospitals in Kontum. Eight members of the detach-

ment have been recommended for the Bronze Star Medal 

and nine have been recommended for the Army Com-

mendation Medal. One member received a Letter of 

Achievement. In addition t

o the eight units which were sent to Viet-

nam, numerous other units were mobilized and assigned 

the mission of reconstituting the active Army strategic 

forces in the continental United States and Hawaii. 

Florida's 35rh Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, with a 

complement of 86 Guardsmen, was sent to Fort Benning, 

Georgia, as were Missouri's 208th Engineer Company 

(Panel Bridge) numbering 117 Guardsmen, and the 1st 

Battalion, 211th Artillery of Massachusetts, comprised of 

537 Guardsmen. 

Fort Sill, Oklahoma became the duty station for the 

124 Texans of the 113th Composite Service, Light Main-

tenance Company, while Rhode Island's 115th Military 

Police Company, numbering 126, went to West Point. 

New York; the 141st Transportation Company of New 

Jersey, with a complement of 162 men, went to Fort Mc-

Clellan, Alabama; the 1st Squadron, 18th Armored Cavalry 

of California, with 855 individuals, was assigned to Fort 

Lewis, Washington for its mobilization stint, while 112 

members of the 40th Aviation Company, also of California, 

reported to Schofield Barracks, Hawaii where they joined 

2.978 Hawaiians of the mobilized 29th Infantry Brigade; 

the 819 lowans of the 2d Battalion, 133d Infantry joined up 

with the 3,424 Kansans who were mobilized with the 69th 

Infantry Brigade and sent to Fort Carson, Colorado. The 

remainder of those mobilized from Kansas, 165 members 

of the 995th Composite Service Maintenance Company, 

reported to Fort Hood, Texas. 
Of the 12,234 mobilized Army National Guardsmen, 

2,729 reported to Vietnam with their units, while 9,505 

remained in the continental United States and Hawaii. Of 

those remaining in CONUS, 4,311 individuals subsequently were assigned to the combat zone, bringing the 

total of mobilized Army Guardsmen in the Republic of 

Vietnam to 7,040 at the close of FY 1969. 

Of the mobilized units, eight reported to Vietnam 

where they were still serving at the end of the fiscal year. 

These units are subjected to the infusion policy while in 

the Republic of Vietnam. Under this policy, personnel are 

transferred into and out of units to provide staggered dates 

for reassignment of individuals back to the United States. 

While in the Republic of Vietnam, the 126th Composite 

Service Company, formerly of Quincy, Illinois, called Chu 

Lai its home. Prior to its move to Vietnam, the 185 members 

of this mobilized unit spent approximately six months at 

Fort Carson, Colorado training for the unit's eventual mission, to support the Americal Division in the southern I 

Corps Tactical Zone. 

The 126th had the job of providing almost every category of supplies for approximately 25,000 troops along a 

90-mile main supply route. Their tanker fleet supplied 

approximately three-fourths of the bulk POL (petroleum, 

oil and lubricant) in the Americal area of operations. 

Although not serving in the jungle areas, the convoys 

ran the gamut every time they hauled supplies. Twice, 

they had been ambushed, resulting in one man killed and 

two wounded. 

A total of 815 Guardsmen from Idaho's 116th Engineer Battalion was ordered to duty in the 1968 mobilization. After reporting to Fort Lewis, Washington the 

battalion underwent eight weeks of advance training prior 

to overseas shipment, which came the first week of September 1968. Upon arrival in Vietnam, the unit was based 

at Bao Loc and was given the mission of upgrading and 

maintaining a portion of National Highway 20 stretching 

from Dalat to the II/III Corps boundary, a stretch of approximately 100 miles. Medals earned or pending as of 

this report include three Legion of Merits; three Silver 

Stars; one Air Medal; 95 Bronze Stars, 15 with V device; 

and 79 Purple Hearts. 

Typical of the 116th's high esprit was the Guardsmen's 

action on the night of 21 March 1969 at a MACV camp near 

Phan Thiet. Seventeen members of the 116th had been 

working in the camp during the day to improve bunkers 

and living quarters for the regional force troops stationed 

there. Working late into the evening, the engineers were 

forced to spend the night at the camp. Shortly after midnight an estimated two battalions and a platoon of Viet 

Cong and North Vietnamese attacked the camp. The first 

rocket round knocked out the camp machine gun located 

in a tower. One of the engineers climbed the tower and got 

the machine gun back in action. Another engineer raced 

to the foot of the tower and fed him ammunition. Other 

members of the 116th manned jeep-mounted machine 

guns and immediately charged the on-comingenemy. After 

the battle, the enemy toll was 110 confirmed killed. Of the 

17 engineers, 16 were wounded. 

Second Battalion, 138th Artillery of Kentucky contributed 545 men to the mobilization. This unit reported to 

Fort Hood, Texas on 21 May 1968 and underwent a 13-

week period of basic and advanced unit training in preparation for its move to the Republic of Vietnam. Once in 

Vietnam the unit reported to Phu Bai and from there dispersed to a series of fire support bases extending from just 

below the ancient capitol of Hue down to Hill 88 which 

guards the approach into the Da Nang area. 

The Kentucky Guardsmen had as their mission the 

role of general support reinforcing of the famed Screaming Eagles 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile). To do the 

job, the unit was equipped with the M109 self-propelled 

155mm artillery piece. By the end of the fiscal year, the 

Second Battalion of the 138th had compiled an impressive record of awards and decorations, some of which are 

still pending: three Silver Stars; 29 Bronze Stars, 15 with 

V device; one Distinguished Flying Cross; seven Air 

Medals, two with V device; 52 Army Commendation 

Medals, four with V device; and 44 Purple Hearts. 

On 16 May 1968, 260 Guardsmen of Rhode Island's 

107th Signal Company (Support) moved into Fort Devens, 

Massachusetts on the first leg of a trip that would eventually take them to Long Binh, Republic of Vietnam. In 

October of that year the unit would move to Vietnam with 

assignment to the 1st Signal Brigade and subsequent assignment to the 972d Signal Battalion. Its mission —to 

establish, operate and maintain three communications 

center complexes in support of the 1st Signal Brigade 

operations. To perform this mission the Guardsmen had 

three 77-man communications center platoons. By 19 

October the entire Battalion had closed in Vietnam as a 

complete unit. On 4 November the 107th received its 

first operational mission, when approximately half of the 

first communications center platoon was committed to 

support Lt. General Kerwin's II Field Forces, located on 

the northern edge of Long Binh military complex. The following day, the third platoon and part of the second platoon were deployed in support of Maj. General Eckhart's 

IV Corps at Can Tho, which lies approximately 80 miles 

southwest of Saigon. The other half of the first comrrfunications center platoon not previously committed was 

placed in support of Brig. General Davison's 199th Light 

Infantry Brigade. A portion of the latter platoon was committed to Tay Ninh (approximately 50 miles northwest of 

Saigon) on 23 December to provide emergency communication for the prisoner exchange which occurred on 1 

January 1969. 

The infusion policy took its toll of the 107th. By 24 

January 1969, 121 men had been reassigned to other units 

throughout the Republic of Vietnam. 

"New Hampshire's Finest" the 3d Battalion, 197th 

Artillery, entered active duty with 506 personnel during 

the 1968 mobilization, reporting to Fort Bragg, North 

Carolina. After initial training and Army Training Tests 

had been completed at Bragg, the unit moved to the Republic of Vietnam with base camp at Phu Loi. It arrived 

in-country by the middle of September, followed by its 

equipment one week later, and on 10 October Bravo 

Battery became operational and fired the Battalion's first 

round in Vietnam. By 13 October, just five months to the 

day after their activation in New Hampshire, the entire 

Battalion was operational and fulfilling its mission in the 

Republic of Vietnam. 

The battalion constantly furnished artillery liaison 

teams and forward observer teams in support of operations 

of all the U. S. divisions, ARVN units, and other free world 

forces throughout the II Field Force area of operations. Of 

the 506 New Hampshire Guardsmen activated with the 

unit, 485 deployed overseas with the battalion while the 

remainder were reassigned in the United States. From its 

arrival in-country until February 1969, the battalion remained intact as a unit. At that time, the infusion policy 

was imposed on the 3d Battalion, 197th; active Army and 

Reserve personnel were assigned to the battalion, and 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 9 
many of the New Hampshire Guardsmen were reassigned 

throughout the Republic of Vietnam to other artillery 

units. 

Unique to this unit was a mission levied upon Bravo 

Battery in which that battery had been called upon twice 

to furnish personnel and three of its 155mm tubes to a 

provisional "Jungle Battery" which bears the following 

sign at the entrance to its fire support base near Phan 

Rang in War Zone D: "Welcome to the Jungle Battery. 

Don't look for it in a TOE. This is the only place you will 

find it." 

The "Green Mountain Mountain Movers" of Vermont 

reported to Fort Belvoir. Virginia 179 strong on 13 May 

1968, where they remained for four months prior to overseas movement. Upon arrival in the Republic of Vietnam, 

the unit was assigned to Ban Me Thout in the Central 

Highlands. Their mission was to improve Highway 21, 

the main supply route which connects Cam Ranh Bay with 

Ban Me Thout. To accomplish the mission, the engineers 

employed the leap frog technique, whereby as each platoon finishes its section of the road, it leap frogs the other 

two equipment platoons to a new strip of road. Specifically, the work involved widening the road, improving 

the drainage, constructing by-passes at proposed bridge 

and culvert sites, providing alternate routes during the 

monsoon season and insuring a steady supply of lifesaving materials to the Ban Me Thout area. Additionally, 

the unit was charged with the task of helping move Montagnard civilians into more secure homes. With their bulldozers and 290M scrapers, the Guardsmen leveled the 

elephant grass and trees that covered the area, then transported the native buildings from the outlying hamlets to 

the relocation area and set them on secure foundations. As 

a final touch they completed a road network, dug fighting 

trenches and strung double apron concertina wire around 

the new location. Then they helped the villagers move in. 

Two hundred and seven Hoosiers of Indiana's Company D (Ranger), 151st Infantry, reported to Fort Benning, 

Georgia on 13 May 1968 and during the period 1 June 

through 30 November underwent extensive combat preparation, including ranger-type training. As the last of the 

mobilized units to reach the combat zone, these Hoosier 

Guardsmen arrived just in time to usher in the New Year -

their base-Long Binh, Republic of Vietnam. They had 

requested to go to the combat zone as a unit rather than as 

individuals and the request was granted by Department 

of the Army. 

Although many of the mobilized Guard units which 

served in Vietnam were engaged in combat operations, D 

Comapny is the only combat unit per se of our mobilized 

units assigned to Vietnam. Prior to the mobilization, this 

unit had completed jungle training at the Army School of 

the Americas, Fort Sherman, Panama. Ninety-seven percent of its members were awarded the Jungle Expert Patch, 

which remains one of the best records set by any component of the Army since the course was initiated. One 

hundred percent of the company was airborne qualified 

prior to the date of the alert. In Vietnam, the Hoosiers' 

mission was primarily one of reconnaissance and acquisition of intelligence information. However, the company 

was not limited to those missions alone. It had the capability of engaging enemy forces, both large and small, 

either with organic weapons or with gun ships, artillery 

and tactical air support. 

Additionally, the unit conducted planned ambushes 

to interdict enemy lines of communications or supply 

routes. One little-known aspect of this company was its 

ability to rescue downed pilots and to recover or destroy 

downed aircralt. Principal area of operations for the 

Hoosiers was with the II Field Force assigned to an area 

approximately 20 miles north of Saigon where teams comprising about half of the company were in the field at any 

given time. 

By mid-June 1969, D Company had compiled the following record: 544 teams inserted; 143 sightings of enemy 

activity; 91 enemy contacts involving fire fights. The 

largest sighting reported by the unit included 600 enemy 

in a space of 12 hours. 

Awards and decorations, including those pending, 

were three Silver Stars; 13 Bronze Stars, seven with V 

device; five Army Commendation Medals with V device; 

64 Purple Hearts, eight of which were second awards; and 

11 Air Medals. 

D Company of the 151st became the first Army Guard 

unit since the Korean War to add the Combat Infantry 

Streamer to its guidon. The criterion for this award is that 

65 percent of the strength of the company must have 

earned the Combat Infantryman's Badge. 

One team of the Indiana unit bears the "distinction" 

of being the only unit in Vietnam to be charged by an elephant while on patrol. Fortunately, no one was injured, 

and the men learned the reason for the attack when a 

baby elephant suddenly came running from the underbrush. Both mama and offspring lumbered off into the 

foliage shortly afterward, and the patrol continued on its 

original mission. 

10 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
AIR NATIONAL GUARD 

The 17 months between 26 January 1968 and 18 June 1969 

will be remembered as an era when 10,511 Air National 

Guardsmen emphatically earned their spurs as "real pros" 

and valued members of the United States Air Force first 

team. 

The mobilization in January 1968, initiated by the 

Pueblo incident and the increased tempo of the Vietnam 

conflict, saw more than 2,000 Air Guardsmen deployed to 

the combat zone and 4,000 others deployed overseas, primarily to the Republic of Korea and Japan. 

During this period, Air Guardsmen comprised more 

than three-fifths of the total U. S. airpower in Korea. Five 

of the thirteen F-100 tactical fighter squadrons in Vietnam 

were Air Guard. Four augmented Air Guard F-100 squadrons deployed directly to the Republic of Vietnam, while 

the fifth, the 355th. an active Air Force unit, was 85 

percent manned by Air Guard personnel, primarily by 

volunteers from the 121st Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS), 

District of Columbia, and the 119th TFS from Atlantic 

City, New Jersey. 

Guardsmen from 13 Guard tactical fighter and reconnaissance units became the first Air Guardsmen involved 

in combat in 16 years. Their achievements, and those of 

the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, aeromedical airlift group, 

both as units and as individuals, wrote a new chapter in 

Air Guard history. Their performance earned the respect 

and admiration of active Air Force and Army personnel 

who served with them or observed their activities. 

The four F-100 tactical fighter squadrons deployed to 

the combat zone in Vietnam were the 120th, Colorado; the 

174th, Iowa; the 188th, New Mexico; and the 136th, New 

York. Combined, they flew 24,124 combat sorties and 

38,614 combat flying hours during their 11-month tour. 

The Coloradans were based at Phan Rang under the 

35th Tactical Fighter Wing and were the first Guardsmen 

to enter combat, on 5 May 1968. The Iowans were based at 

Phu Cat under the 37th Wing and the New Mexico and 

New York units were based at Tuy Hoa in the 31st Wing. 

Each F-100 unit deployed some 21 aircraft and 350 

men each. The deployment involved an 11,000-mile flight 

with 11 to 12 air-to-air refuelings. The mass movement of 

the Guard fighters from their home bases to the combat 

zone was accomplished without incident or accident. 

Each of the units began flying combat missions within 

three to four days after arrival. Some 200 officers and airmen were quickly taken from the squadrons and assimilated into the wing and base structures, many in top management positions in the maintenance, ordnance, supply 

and service fields. 

Each of the Guard units in combat accomplished-its 

mission on an equal level to active units in their wings, 

according to active Air Force wing commanders and other 

active force observers. 

Each of the five Guard-manned squadrons completed 

its full 11-month combat tour without a reportable accident due to pilot, materiel or maintenance failure. (This 

does not include combat losses.) 

The units in combat received many accolades from 

active Air Force and Army commanders. One forward air 

controller cited a mission by two Colorado pilots as "... the 

finest example of air support I have ever seen in my 16 

months of combat in V'etnam." This is typical of the 

respect and admiration held by active Air Force and Army 

troops for the Guardsmen's performance under fire. 

The combat tours of Guardsmen from the District of 

Columbia and Atlantic City, who comprised more than 85 

percent of the manpower of the 355th Tactical Fighter 

Squadron, Phu Cat, were equally impressive. 

The Air Guard lost five pilots in combat. An intelligence officer, who was shot down on a combat mission, 

and two pilots were listed as missing in action. The four 

Guard units suffered 14 aircraft losses in combat. 

Two ANG F-100 tactical fighter squadrons, the 166th, 

Columbus, Ohio and the 127th, Wichita, Kansas deployed 

the latter part of June to Kunsan, Korea. Their performance 

has also been classified as outstanding by official Air 

Force observers. The two squadrons averaged 14 missions 

each, daily. 

By August 1968, many Air Guardsmen from all of the 

mobilized fighter and reconnaissance units had been 

assigned to air bases in the Republic of Korea. Guard 

personnel represented 60 percent of the total U. S. Air 

Force strength in Korea from August 1968 until May 1969. 

Most of the top supervisory positions at the various bases 

there were filled by Guardsmen. 

The other two mobilized ANG tactical fighter units, 

flying F-86's, the 175th, Baltimore, and the 174th, Syracuse, deployed their augmented squadrons, the 104th and 

138th, to Cannon AFB, New Mexico in June 1968. The 

units successfully operated a forward air controller school 

and combat crew training school for active force pilots. 

These two units were demobilized 20 December 1968. 

The three Guard tactical reconnaissance squadrons, 

flying RF-101's, were utilized in Japan, Alaska, Panama 

Canal Zone and various operations throughout the continental United States (CONUS). The 123d Reconnaissance 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 11 
Technical Squadron, Little Rock, Arkansas remained at 

home base where its personnel processed film for all the 

reconnaissance units, the Air Force, Army, Navy, and 

other Federal agencies. 

The 154th, Little Rock, deployed to Itazuke, Japan, 24 

July 1968 on a 179-day temporary duty tour. In four 

months there, the Guardsmen flew 1,219 sorties and 2,474 

hours, processing some 240,249 feet of aerial film. They 

returned to home base 20 November 1968 and were demobilized 20 December 1968. During its 11-month mobilization, the 154th flew 2.932 sorties and 5,161 hours, and 

processed 278,570 feet of aerial film and 25,656 still 

photos. 

The 192d Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. Reno, 

arrived at Itazuke to replace the Arkansas unit on 18 November 1968. The Guardsmen flew 1,044 sorties and 1,636 

hours, processing more than 200,000 feet of aerial film 

while in Japan. The unit returned to Richards-Gebaur 

AFB, Missouri, its active duty home base, on 3 February 

1969 after completing the transition at Itazuke with the 

165th from Louisville, without a loss of sorties. While the 

Arkansas unit was in Japan, the 192d and 165th flew 

special operational missions in Alaska and the Panama 

Canal Zone and received high commendations from the 

commanders of these two areas. They also flew special 

CONUS missions. 

The 165th flew 726 sorties and 1,829 hours during its 

three-month stay in Japan. It returned to Richards-Gebaur 

24 April 1969. 

The three squadrons comprising the 123d Tactical 

Reconnaissance Wing compiled impressive records on 

their active duty tours. Combined, they flew 19,715 

tactical flying hours, 11,561 sorties and processed 841,601 

feet of aerial film and 318,856 still photographs. 

The Louisville and Reno units were singularly honored 

when each was presented the Fifth Air Force Outstanding 

Unit Plaque. These two Air Guard squadrons were two of 

only three Guard units ever to have received this award. 

Pennsylvania's 171st Aeromedical Airlift Group, 

Greater Pittsburgh Airport, was mobilized 13 May 1968 

and operated out of home station until demobilized 12 

December 1968. 

The 171st provided additional airlift to the 375th 

Aeromedical Airlift Wing in moving patients from casualty 

staging bases and military installations to treatment hospitals. The unit operated primarily in Eastern United States 

and Texas, and on offshore Caribbean missions. 

A utilization rate of 720 hours per month was established for the eight C-121's the group possessed. This rate 

was maintained throughout the activation period. All 

assigned missions were completed as scheduled, with the 

first actual mission taking off the first day of mobilization. 

Fifteen missions were flown the first week. The unit flew 

510 missions and 4,735 accident-free hours during the 

seven-month active duty tour. It airlifted 11,947 patients 

and 2,000 other personnel. 

There were 93 pilots in the four Guard F-100 units in 

combat and 12 Guard pilots in the 355th at Phu Cat. Of the 

total of 105 Guard pilots, 78.1 percent were weekenders 

and 21.9 percent full-time air technicians, close to the 

percentages of the units while in Guard status. The allvolunteer pilot complement of the 355th was 100 percent 

weekenders. 

Many of the Guard support units such as New Mexico's 

150th Combat Support Squadron, communications flights, 

weather flights and GEEIA units, have been recommended 

for the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award. Hundreds of 

individual Guardsmen were awarded medals, from the 

Silver Star to the Air Force Commendation Medal. 

Air Force spokesmen in Korea said Guardsmen established operating procedures that will be followed as 

long as the bases in Korea exist. Lieutenant Colonel Robert 

H. Rieck, active Air Force Commander of the 150th at 

Kunsan, Korea said this about the Guardsmen: 

"The work of the Air Guardsmen in Korea will stand 

for a long time as a monument to the ability of Americans 

to work together, regardless of background, and to the Air 

Guard's ability to fill the gap and accomplish whatever 

tasks the Air Force sets before it." 

This was the general consensus given by most Air 

Force leaders who worked with the mobilized Guardsmen, 

from Vietnam, to Japan, Korea and CONUS.

MISSION, ORGANIZATION & ADMINISTRATION 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 13 
MISSION OF THE 

NATIONAL GUARD 

The National Guard is rooted in the concept of the privilege 

and responsibility of our able-bodied citizens to be ready 

at all times to bear arms for the common defense. This 

tradition was begun in the early seventeenth century, with 

the development of militia bands in the various colonies. 

The authors of the Constitution recognized the importance 

of the concept by empowering the Congress to "provide for 

organizing, arming and disciplining the militia." National 

military policy subsequently enacted into law has served 

to enhance the availability and improve the readiness of 

the National Guard as a Federal reserve force. The general 

policy stated in current law (Section 102, Title 32, United 

Stales Code) is quoted: 

In accordance with the traditional military policy of 

the United States, it is essential that the strength and 

organization of the Army National Guard and the Air 

National Guard as an integral part of the first line 

defenses of the United States be maintained and assured at all times. Whenever Congress determines 

that more units and organizations are needed for the 

national security than are in the regular components 

of the ground and air forces, the Army National 

Guard of the United States, or such parts of them as 

are needed, together with such units of other reserve 

components as are necessary for a balanced force, 

shall be ordered to active Federal duty and retained 

as long as so needed. 

While its Federal reserve potential has been strengthened, the National Guard of each State remains constitutionally a State-administered military force. The dual 

State-Federal missions are set forth in National Guard 

Regulation No. 45, and Air Force National Guard Regulation No. 20-1. The State mission is to provide units 

organized, equipped and trained to function effectively in 

the protection of life and property and the preservation of 

peace, order and public safety under competent orders of 

Federal or State authorities. 

14 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
ORGANIZATION 

THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD 

The Army National Guard provides forces that are an 

integral part of the Nation's first-line defenses. 

The chart illustrates the role of the Army National 

Guard in the Army mission. 

The worldwide overseas commitments of the Army in 

Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and in Korea, as 

illustrated, represent large overseas garrisons and fighting 

forces already in place and major treaty commitments. All 

must be supported by forces available for rapid deployment from the United States. 

The Army forces in the Continental United States include Air Defense Missile units, the Strategic Army Forces 

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

Army National-Guard shares in the first-line combat mission of US Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM) by 

providing full-time Army National Guard Nike Hercules 

missile batteries in the defense of key industrial and 

population areas. 

Two Army National Guard infantry divisions, three 

Army National Guard separate infantry brigades, and one 

Army National Guard armored cavalry regiment of the 

Selected Reserve Force today constitute a major part of 

the Strategic Army F6rce available for deployment. 

Four additional infantry divisions, two armored divisions, and 15 separate brigades are available as follow-on 

support for the Selected Reserve Force. 

THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD 

The Air National Guard supports US Air Force missions 

as shown on the chart. 

Air Force worldwide commitments such as those to 

NATO and the free nations of Southeast Asia, the Middle 

East, Far East, Alaska, Caribbean, and South America are 

also illustrated. 

The gaining commands to which Air National Guard 

units are assigned upon mobilization are also shown. 

These include the Tactical Air Command, Aerospace Defense Command, Military Airlift Command, Alaskan Air 

Command, Air Force Logistics Command, and the Air 

Force Communications Service. In addition, the Hawaii 

Air National Guard is committed to the Pacific Air Forces 

and one Air Guard communications unit is committed to 

the Air University at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. 

During this fiscal year, many Air Guard units served 

without mobilization, as integral functioning parts of 

active Air Force commands. Airlift units flew missions 

worldwide as a functional part of the Military Airlift 

Command, and ANG fighter-interceptor squadrons assigned to the Aerospace Defense Command maintained a 

24-hour alert under control of North American Air Defense 

Command. Air National Guard tactical squadrons today 

form the principal worldwide strategic reserve of the 

Tactical Air Command. 

Air Guard Ground Electronics Engineering Installation 

Agency squadrons perform communications construction 

projects on US Air Force missile sites and other bases.

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 17 
PUBLIC AFFAIRS 

A significant "first" —the assignment of volunteer short 

tour Army and Air National Guard Public Affairs Officers 

to a combat zone where Guard units were fighting - marked 

a major achievement of the Bureau's Public Affairs Office 

in FY 1969. 

The idea, conceived in the Bureau, won the acceptance 

of all levels of command from the Pentagon to Southeast 

Asia. First officers to fill the 90-day Vietnam assignments 

were Lt. Colonel Bruce Jacobs, New Jersey ARNG, and 

Captain Bill Burk, Tennessee ANG. Jacobs was assigned to 

U. S. Army Vietnam Headquarters at Long Binh and Burk 

worked out of Seventh Air Force Headquarters at Tan 

Son Nhut. Because of the imminent return of the four Air 

Guard units in Vietnam, no follow-on assignment was 

made for the Air Guard. Follow-on assignments for the 

Army Guard were Lt. Colonel Harvey Latham, Oregon 

ARNG, and Lt. Colonel Jack Downing, Wisconsin ARNG. 

The assignment of the officers resulted in significant 

assistance to public affairs offices in the combat area, 

which appreciated the on-the-spot expertise of Guard and 

Reserve programs, practices, history, and operations. The 

Guf.rd officers also were able to bring about greater press 

recognition of the Guard's contributions in Vietnam and 

greatly facilitated the Bureau in the collection of information for a wide variety of reports and for histories. 

As in 1967 and in 1968, the Public Affairs Office in 

FY 1969 found itself in the business of motion picture 

production. As before, the office utilized the talents of 

Guardsmen, primarily Major Ray Simak of the Illinois ANG 

and Major Frank Hirons of the Massachusetts ANG, in the 

productions and received generous support from the Air 

Force's Aerospace Audio Visual Service (AAVS). 

The Bureau-produced motion pictures were "Side by 

Side" and "On Guard," both 28-minutes in length and in 

color. "Side by Side" dealt with ANG activities during the 

year and "On Guard" covered Army Guard operations for 

the period. 

At the end of the year, AAVS was completing production on two other Air Guard films, for which the Public 

Affairs Office provided technical assistance. They were 

"The Air Guard in GEEIA," a story of how the Air Force 

utilizes the Guard's Ground Electronics Engineering Installations Agency (GEEIA) units, and "Friends and 

Neighbors-People We Know," a report emphasizing the 

Air Guard's combat record in Vietnam. 

All the films were to be produced in quantity to assure 

wide distribution to the States. 

The Public Affairs Office budget remained at $450,000 

with which the office and its contract advertising agency 

— this year the W. B. Doner and Company of Baltimoredeveloped and prepared printed and graphic materials for 

distribution to the States and produced radio and television 

material, as well as the aforementioned movies. 

Two radio programs, "Lombardoland, USA" and 

"Guard Scene" were discontinued during the year to place 

greater emphasis in other areas. A third program, "Guard 

Session," a 15-minute music interview show distributed 

to approximately 2,500 stations, was continued with such 

stars and groups as The Four Seasons, Nancy Wilson, 

Robert Goulet, Dionne Warwick, Eddie Arnold, Sandler 

and Young, Bobbie Gentry, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tom 

Jones and others. 

One of the most successful radio efforts ever produced 

by the Bureau was realized in FY 1969 with the album of 

patriotic spot announcements by Illinois Senator Everett 

M. Dirksen. The album was distributed to 5,000 stations. 

Television spot announcements were distributed nationally again this year, including one featuring John 

Wayne. 

The fourth annual photo contest co-sponsored by the 

Bureau's Public Affairs Office and the National Guard 

Association of the United States (NGAUS) was marked by 

a large number of entries. Winners were announced at the 

NGAUS convention in Hot Springs, Arkansas. 

Two new paintings were added to the Heritage Series 

during the year, bringing the total in the series to seven. 

This year's Air Guard painting, "Trail Blazers In The 

Sky," was painted by Woodi Ishmael. It depicts the New 

York Guard performing aviation's first formation crosscountry flight from Mineola, New York to Princeton, New 

Jersey in November, 1916. This year's Army Guard painting was titled, "First Wave at Omaha: Ordeal of the Blue 

and Gray," painted by Ken Riley. It shows members of the 

Guard's 29th Infantry Division making the D-Day landing 

at Omaha Beach in Normandy on 6 June 1944. 

Billboards, transit car cards, bumper and window 

stickers also were produced and distributed by the Public 

Affairs Office during FY 1969. 

In addition, the Office prepared news releases, fact 

sheets, speeches, articles for periodicals, yearbooks and 

encyclopedia, produced the Bureau's monthly Newsletter 

and Annual Report, assisted with the approval of the 

Department of Defense in the production of several 

Hollywood-produced movies and assisted the Department 

of Defense, Departments of the Army and the Air Force in 

many other activities. 

Historical activities included the maintenance of historical documents for use in information programs and as 

an aid to scholars and military writers, the supervision of 

the heraldic and insignia programs of the Army and the 

Air National Guard, and the promulgation of information 

relating to policy in the fields of insignia and historical 

material.

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 interest in proficiency in training 

and maintenance. To this end, trophies and awards are 

presented annually by the Chief of the National Guard 

Bureau and other agencies to outstanding personnel and 

units in both the Army and Air National Guard. 

The following trophies and awards are described in

REGULATIONS 

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

governed by National Guard Regulations and Air National 

Guard Regulations. These regulations announce the approved policies of the Department of the Army and the 

Department of the Air Force pertaining to the Army and 

Air National Guard. Also, certain procedural matters are 

published in National Guard Pamphlets and Air National 

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

both the Army and Air National Guard. Further, certain 

Army and Air Force regulations govern the Army and Air 

National Guard when specifically made applicable by the 

Chief, National Guard Bureau. 

During FY 1969 a number of existing regulations were 

revised or amended. In addition new regulations and 

pamphlets were developed and published. A detailed 

resume is contained in Appendix F. 

PUBLICATIONS 

REVIEW BOARD 

The Army National Guard FY 1969 program for Department of Defense and Department of the Army publications 

and blank forms was established at $979,000. 

Obligations for FY 1969 totaled $963,115, as compared 

to FY 1968 obligations of $906,534. This obligation increase was expected and is attributable to assignment of 

all Army National Guard units as members of the immediate reserve in FY 1968, increased printing costs, and increased MOS participation. 

Due to the continued lack of funds available to The 

Adjutant General, Department of the Army, no addition 

to the 753 ARNG pinpoint accounts could be authorized. 

Placement of all Army National Guard battalion-size and 

separate units on pinpoint distribution will continue to be 

a primary objective. Such action will materially enhance 

the readiness posture of these units. 

YOUTH OPPORTUNITY 

PROGRAM 

The National Guard takes justifiable pride in its achievements in providing learning and recreational experiences 

for the young people through support of the President's 

Youth Opportunity Program. Innovative youth programs 

initiated by the National Guard of the several States have 

served as models throughout the Nation. These programs 

have become a cornerstone for the Guard's vital community relations efforts. National Guard youth activities during 

1968 included sponsorship of day- and week-long summer 

camps, swimming and other athletic opportunities, youth 

clubs, free medical examinations, tours of military facilities and historical sites, art and craft classes, and such 

special events as military demonstrations, displays and 

parades. Since support of these activities may not conflict 

with scheduled military training, Guardsmen have often 

volunteered their time and talents to make these programs

20 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
There were many occasions during the year when 

Governors called their National Guard to State duty for 

emergencies other than civil disturbances and natural 

disasters. Emergency duty was performed during the year 

by 2.588 National Guardsmen. (See Appendix L for a 

breakdown of natural disaster and other emergency 

situations). 

All authorized special civil disturbance equipment 

such as: shotguns, bull horns, chemical grenades, chemical dispersers, sniper rifles and searchlights have been 

issued to the States. 

The States are completing the procurement of their 

single side band transceiver radios. These radios, both 

fixed station and mobile, have proved to be a tremendous 

asset to the States not only during emergency situations 

but, as a day-to-day State communications net. 

DATA SYSTEMS 

During FY 1969 approval was obtained by the Department 

of the Army to devise a system of regional computer centers and an attendant communications network which will 

replace the present National Guard data processing system. In FY 1970 a systems design and specifications for 

these regional centers will be submitted to Department of 

the Army for approval. As an interim measure, approval 

was obtained for the installation in FY 1970 of card computers in the eight largest States. 

The Officer phase of the new Army National Guard 

Personnel System was implemented by all States and automatic data processing (ADP) procedures for the enlisted 

phase were distributed to the States. Implementation of 

the enlisted portion of the program is expected to occur 

during FY 1970. 

Standard supply accounting ADP procedures (NGB 

Pamphlet 75-2-2) were distributed to all States. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 21 
OFFICE OF TECHNICIAN 

PERSONNEL 

The major legislative accomplishment of the National 

Guard during the past 20 years was realized on 1 January 

1969 with implementation of Public Law 90-486, The 

National Guard Technician Act of 1968. Among other 

things, the Act made National Guard technicians Federal 

employees as a matter of law and provided them with a 

much deserved uniform retirement and fringe benefit 

program. Additionally, the Act recognizes the military 

requirements and State characteristics of the National 

Guard by providing for certain statutory authority at the 

State level, and it clarifies the technicians' legal status 

especially on the matter of coverage under the Federal 

Tort Claims Act. 

The legislation requires that regulations prescribed 

under the Act shall be uniform so far as practicable. The 

legislation also requires that the Secretary of Defense 

approve the regulations proposed by the Secretary of the 

Army and the Secretary of the Air Force. This requirement 

led to the reorganization of the technician function within 

the National Guard Bureau. Essentially, the technician 

function was removed from the respective Army and Air 

Personnel Divisions of the Bureau and an overhead Office 

of Technician Personnel was created. 

Four subordinate Branches are assigned to the Office of 

Technician Personnel. They are: Army Technician, Air 

Technician, Classification and Regulations, and Technician Programs. This alignment insures that technicians, 

without regard to Service, are managed as a common group 

under standard and uniform procedures. 

For the most part, the administrative aspects of the 

conversion of technicians from a purely State to Federal 

status was accomplished in an orderly and timely manner. 

The conversion was actually tantamount to the administrative requirements for the mobilization of approximately 

40,000 National Guardsmen. Extensive counselings were 

required in the retirement and fringe benefit areas, new 

Federal records had to be created, and in all areas new 

policies and procedures had to be implemented. Orientation programs were conducted for the technicians who 

would be responsible for management of the program at the 

local levels. ReDresentatives of the Civil Service Commission and the various insurance carriers assisted in these 

programs. It is significant that this undertaking was 

accomplished quickly and efficiently. 

Conditions of technician employment, which were 

formerly required by regulation, are now prescribed by 

statute. Major conditions of employment are: concurrent 

National Guard membership for approximately 95 percent 

of technicians; occupancy of compatible TO&E or UMD 

positions; and military grade requirements on the technician job description. 

The conversion of technicians to a Federal status 

brought with it some new personnel management concepts and procedures. Items such as employee-management relationships, recognition of labor organizations, 

merit promotion programs, incentive awards programs, 

performance evaluation programs and revised reporting 

procedures are some of the new requirements placed on 

the technician program. 

Many of the States elected to organize their technician 

function into a centralized office at State level, similar to 

the operation of Office of Technician Personnel at Bureau 

level. Manpower requirements to support the workload 

associated with Federal requirements have been based on 

a centralized concept, with Army and Air National Guard 

support predicated upon the number of technicians 

authored . 

22 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
ARMY NATIONAL GUARD 

Army National Guard technicians are, except for a limited 

number, members of Federally recognized units and are 

employed by the Adjutants General of the respective 

States. They assist the Unit Commanders in the day-to-day 

administrative, supply, and training responsibilities, and 

help the United States Property and Fiscal Officers with 

their duties. The technicians provide first and second 

echelon maintenance in organization maintenance shops 

and higher echelon maintenance in the States. Technically 

trained personnel necessary to keep the Nike Hercules 

Missile sites operational 24 hours a day for air defense of 

the United States are also provided by Army National 

Guard technicians. They also provide staffing for Military 

Support to Civil Authorities to coordinate the military 

resources available for assisting civil defense missions 

and civil authorities during domestic emergencies. 

At the beginning of FY 1969, the previously authorized 

18,441 spaces for employment of technicians in Organization, USPFO and Support Maintenance activities were 

reduced to 18,244 due to mobilization of organization 

technicians with their units during May 1968. The initial 

authorization of 5,132 spaces in the Air Defense program 

was reduced to 4,771 due to inactivation of firing batteries 

in Texas and Missouri. The continuation of 227 spaces in 

the Military Support to Civil Authorities program, plus a 

further increase of 1,175 spaces for Organization, USPFO 

and Maintenance requirements of the Selected Reserve 

Force provided a total authorized end strength of 24,417 

technicians for the fiscal year. 

At the end of the year, 19,057 permanent technicians 

and temporary employees were assigned in Organization, 

USPFO and Support Maintenance activities; 4,742 were 

employed in the Air Defense program^ and 225 were employed in the Military Support to Civil Authorities program. In addition, 187 were supported on a reimbursable 

basis as a condition of interservice maintenance support 

agreements, bringing the total to 24,211 technicians 

employed. 

A short term employment restriction was imposed on 

the Army National Guard technician by the Department of 

Army effective April 1969. Technicians could not be employed during the last quarter of the fiscal year except on 

a one-for-one basis for losses occurring during May only. 

Thus, the approved end strength could not be realized. 

The approved Department of the Army manning criteria for technicians for this fiscal year was 27,149. 

Approved support of 24,417 represents approximately 

90 percent of the requirement. 

Prior to 1 January 1969, 11,085 technicians in 21 States 

were participating in State Retirement Programs. When 

the National Guard Technician Act of 1968 was implemented, these technicians were offered the option to 

remain in their State Retirement Program. Only 1,180 of 

the 11,085 technicians elected to remain in State Retirement Programs. 

In July 1968, the salaries of ARNG technicians paid 

under Classification Act schedules were adjusted under 

the Classification Act schedule enacted into law by P.L. 

90-206 of 16 December 1967. The annual cost of the salary 

adjustments was $3.85 million per year. 

Average cost per technician produced during the year, 

including salaries and benefits, amounted to $8,375 for 

Organization, USPFO and Support Maintenance technicians, $8,745 for Air Defense technicians, and $10,346 for 

technicians in Military Support to Civil Authorities. 

The total obligation for technicians in Organization, 

USPFO and Support Maintenance activities was $158,-

359,251. Of this total, direct obligations amounted to 

$156,697,995 and the reimbursable cost of technicians 

employed under cross-service agreements was $1,661 256. 

The direct obligation for Air Defense technicians was 

$41,677,309, while the direct obligation for technics"" i in 

Military Support to Civil Authorities was $2,327,846. . 

AIR NATIONAL GUARD 

At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1969, approximately 2,021 . 

air technicians were in the active Federal service as a 

result of the January and May 1968 mobilizations of Air 

National Guard units. These units were released from 

active duty during the course of the fiscal year and by 30 

June 1969, all units were returned to State control. 

The approved Air National Guard technician program 

for FY 1969 was an end strength of 17,288. The actual 

technician strength on 30 June 1969 was 16,466. 

Part of the shortfall during the fiscal year can be attributed to an employment restriction which was imposed 

on the technician program by the Department of the Air 

Force during the last quarter. 

The approved manning criteria for air technicians for 

this fiscal year was 18,666. The approved support level of 

17,288 represents approximately 92 percent of the total 

requirement. 

Prior to 1 January 1969, 6,438 technicians in 21 States 

were participating in State Retirement Programs. When 

the National Guard Technician Act of 1968 was implemented, these technicians were permitted to elect either 

the State or the Federal Civil Service Retirement Program. 

Only 576 of the 6,438 elected to remain in the State Retirement Programs. 

During the latter part of the fiscal year a significant 

reduction in force was imposed on the air technician 

program as a result of change in mission of several units. 

Every effort was made to transfer those highly-skilled 

individuals who wished to remain with the National 

Guard technician program to units in other areas. 

The Coordinated Federal Wage System provides common policies, systems, practices, and job-grading standards for fixing the pay of wage employees in accordance 

with prevailing rates. This System was implemented in 

many areas during the year. The result was a more equitable increase for many wage technicians. 

Air technician manpower management reviews were 

conducted for State Air Headquarters, civilian personnel 

and mobile communications units during the fiscal year. 

The total direct obligation for the Air National Guard 

technician program for FY 1969 was $136,153,144. This 

amount includes salaries and benefits for .technicians 

employed during the fiscal year. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 23 
ARMY NATIONAL GUARD 

24 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
The Army National Guard has just completed its first fully operational year 

since the total force structure reorganization of 1968. Throughout the turbulent 

procedure the Army National Guard continued to maintain a high degree of 

mobilization readiness. In fact, a large portion of the Army National Guard was 

mobilized in May 1968. 

We now have eight units in Vietnam, with a total strength of more than 3,000 

men. Additionally, many individual Guardsmen have been assigned to Vietnam, and thus our personnel there now total more than half of the 12,234 

mobilized. We are fulfilling missions in the jungles, mountains and plains of 

Southeast Asia and in the skies overhead. 

During the year many Guardsmen were called by their Governors to State 

active duty in civil disturbance emergencies. The reduction in the number of 

civil disorders during FY 1969 was significant. The extra training performed, 

along with the additional equipment received by ARNG units, more than likely 

was a contributing factor in that reduction. 

The National Guard was commended in the editorial columns of the 

Nation's newspapers. Many units were praised for splendid service in support 

of both the active forces in Southeast Asia and within the several States. 

After our Guard units return from active duty to State status, we shall have 

a more precise evaluation of their performance in South Vietnam and other 

places. The National Guard can profit from this experience. Lessons learned 

during this mobilization and combat service can be helpful to the Guard in the 

future. 

The Army National Guard, by virtue of ready availability, professional competence, moral strength and devotion to the American ideals, has once again 

achieved a high mark of performance, serving both State and Nation. The 

following pages reflect Army National Guard accomplishments during FY 1969.

FUNDING 

The Army National Guard budgets which were submitted 

to the Congress supported a strength plan beginning and 

ending with 400,000 officers and enlisted men in 3,038 

units. The budgets submitted were National Guard Personnel, Army (NGP, A), $321,300,000 and the Operation 

and Maintenance Army National Guard (OM, ARNG), 

$266,964,000. They provided for an input of 63,600 recruits into the Reserve Enlistment Program (REP-63) 

training; a Selected Reserve Force (SRF) strength of 623 

units and 89,091 Guardsmen; and a technician program of 

24,592 manyears within a 27,494 criteria. Subsequent to 

these Congressional submissions 12,234 Army National 

Guard military personnel, including 197 technicians, in 

34 units were inducted. This action resulted in reduced 

requirements of $16,800,000 in NGP, A and $2,300,000 

in OM, ARNG appropriations. 

The Congress appropriated (Title I, P.L. 90-580) 

$304,500,000 for the National Guard Personnel, Army appropriation to support an end strength of 387,600 Guardsmen and to provide for a REP input of 32,400 recruits. In 

addition $900,000 was provided for funded reimbursement. Initial DOD apportionment withheld $300,000 due 

to a reduction in the Nike Hercules program and an additional adjustment resulting from mobilization. In order to 

provide support for the military pay increase (P.L. 90-207), 

a supplemental appropriation of $16,700,000 was required. DOD applied the $300,000 withheld, leaving a net 

request of $16,400,000. The Second Supplemental Appropriation Bill provided for this increase under Title III of 

P.L. 91-47, making a total NGP, A funding in FY 1969 

amounting to $321,800,000. 

The Operation and Maintenance, Army National Guard 

appropriation (Title II, P.L. 90-580) for FY 1969, totaled 

$264,664,000. In addition, estimated automatic reimbursements amounted to $3,200,000. DOD initially withheld 

$1,937,000 from this appropriation ($1,365,000 attributed 

to reduction in Nike Hercules on-site activities, and 

$572,000 for replacement of inventory consumption). The 

amount withheld was applied to partially offset the supplemental requirement of $14,937,000 in support of the 

civilian pay increase (P.L. 90-206), Wage Board increases 

and costs necessitated by the Federalization of Army 

National Guard technicians (P.L. 90-486). The Second 

26 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 

Supplemental Appropriation Bill provided $10,000,000 

under Title II of P.L. 91-47. The Congress further authorized an additional $1,500,000 for transfer from Research, 

Development, Test and Evaluation, Army Appropriation. 

These actions provided OM, ARNG funding available in 

FY 1969 amounting to $279,354,166. 

The Military Construction, Army National Guard

FINANCE SERVICES 

United States Continental Army Command policy provides for the consolidation, where feasible, of payment 

responsibility for drill pay into as few as one Finance and 

Accounting Office per Army Area. Currently, all the States 

of the Third Army Area are paid from one Finance and 

Accounting Office; all but two States of the Fifth Army 

Area are paid from one Finance and Accounting Office; 

and the consolidation of drill pay responsibility is currently in process in the First Army Area. 

The consolidation, after some preliminary problems 

are worked out, will Msult in a more uniform application 

of the regulations covering administrative function and 

armory drill pay. Except for minor delays, payments are 

made within the time prescribed. 

NGR 58 was changed during FY 1969 to prescribe new 

substantiating documents for payment of basic allowance 

for quarters to Army National Guard members with dependents. NGB Pamphlet 58-1 was changed to add new 

procedures for use of the social security account number 

as a personnel identifier in lieu of the military service 

number of the member. That regulation also provides for 

modification of Electrical Accounting Machine procedures for payment of annual field training, and requires 

that the financial data records folder be forwarded to the 

gaining organization when a member is transferred to an 

Army National Guard unit in another State. These publications are described in Appendix F. 

Incapacitation payrolls are submitted to National 

Guard Bureau for review and approval when the medical 

certificate is not signed by a military medical officer. 

These payrolls cover continuation of active duty pay and 

allowances to Army Guardsmen who are injured or contract a disease in line of duty. These provisions are outlined in NGR 58. During FY 1969 a total of 277 such payrolls were reviewed and processed. 

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING 

Continuing reviews and analyses of fiscal accounting and 

reporting procedures were conducted during FY 1969. As 

a result, plans were completed to further improve the 

method of accounting and reporting under the Army 

National Guard decentralized accounting system. The 

latest change, which was developed and distributed to all 

States, the District of Columbia and Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico, incorporates in the status of allotments report 

the funds generated through automatic reimbursements so 

that total available funding is contained in one figure. 

Forty-nine serially-numbered letters of technical Finance and Accounting Instructions were issued to the 

fiscal stations which report financial data monthly to the 

National Guard Bureau. The use of the serially-numbered 

letters has proved highly beneficial in insuring that the 

recipients receive all Instruction Letters. 

AUDIT AND REPORTS 

OF SURVEY 

The United States Army Audit Agency completed and 

submitted five audit reports pertaining to Army National 

Guard activities in the various States during FY 1969. 

These audit reports included the status and conditions of 

Federal funds and property accounts maintained by the 

United States Property and Fiscal Officers in the States. 

The findings and recommendations were reported in detail to the State authorities, the National Guard Bureau 

and the Department of the Army. These audit reports and 

the replies of corrective action taken by the States were 

reviewed and analyzed by the NGB. They were used as a 

basis for establishing and improving management and 

internal control procedures. 

In addition to the completed audits, the United States 

Army Audit Agency conducted an assistance audit at the ' 

request of the NGB. In an audit of the readiness posture 

of the United States Army Air Defense Command, elements of the Army National Guard were also reviewed. 

No findings or recommendations pertaining to the Army 

National Guard were reported. 

MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT 

A manpower management survey was conducted by the 

Bureau in the divisions and branches of the National 

Guard Bureau which demonstrated the requirement for 

additional personnel in both the Bureau and in the National Guard Computer Center, a Class II activity. 

National Guard Bureau military and civilian personnel 

received instruction on electronic data processing systems 

and personnel administration. A new ARNG automated 

personnel reporting system was implemented by collection of an individual officer master tape at Bureau level 

and an individual enlisted card deck at State level for the 

purpose of improving personnel manpower management. 

A Personnel Plans, Policy and Analysis Branch was 

established in the Army Personnel Division to coordinate 

personnel matters related to automatic data processing. 

The Bureau completed revision of the personnel sections of the Tables of Distribution and Allowances for the 

52 State Headquarters and Headquarters Detachments, 

thus establishing a new standard of uniformity in those 

units, which greatly facilitates personnel assignment and 

management. 

The National Guard Bureau has been submitting data 

for the annual reports of "Federal Grants-in-Aid to States 

and Payments to Individuals" as required by the Treasury 

Department Circular No. 1014, 8 August 1958 (RCS 

TREAS 1032). Reporting in accordance with this requirement has been reduced and modified. 

The Command Sergeant Major Program was implemented and provides ARNG-wide selection at Department 

of the Army level. Improved enlisted promotion procedures were also announced. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 27 
PERSONNEL 

MILITARY STRENGTH 

The Federally recognized strength of the Active Army 

National Guard on 30 June 1969 was 388,954, a net decrease of 228 when compared with the 389,182 strength 

at the end of Fiscal Year 1968. The total number of officers 

and warrant officers was 30,432, and the number of enlisted personnel was 358,522. The average strength for the 

year was 388,942. Year-end average strength figures for 

selected years are shown in Table 1, Appendix G. 

The strength of the Army National Guard at the beginning of FY 1969 was 389,182, but the fiscal year budget 

guidance provided only for an average strength of not 

less than 387,600, based on a 400,000 mandate less the 

authorized strength of mobilized units. At the beginning 

of FY 1969, manning levels based on approximately 97.4 

percent of authorized strength were imposed on the States 

in order to reduce the overstrength. Efforts to reduce overstrength were successful and in March the State manning 

levels were increased by 1 percent to about 98.5 percent 

of authorized strength in an effort to insure that the budget 

supported strength would be maintained. Revised manning levels totaled 391,476. There were 908 Guardsmen 

in the Inactive National Guard who were attached to units 

for administrative and accounting purposes and who 

would be available in the event of mobilization. 

OFFICER PERSONNEL 

Strength 

ARNG officer and warrant officer assigned strengths during FY 1969 decreased over the previous year. Commissioned Officers totaled 26,041, a decrease of 1,531. Warrant Officer strength increased by a total of 25. The drop in 

Commissioned Officer strength was largely attributable 

to the continuing effort of State Adjutants General to reduce the officer overstrength remaining from the 1967-68 

reorganization. There were 1,736 overstrength officers 

and warrant officers at the end of FY 1969. 

State Officer Candidate Schools continued to be the 

primary source of second lieutenants in the ARNG, but 

the total number decreased from last year. This decrease 

was also a direct result of the major reorganization of 

1967-1968. Table 2, Appendix G, reflects the number of 

overstrength officers by grade as well as the number of 

overstrength warrant officers remaining as of 30 June 

1969, and Table 3, Appendix G, indicates sources of 

second lieutenants. 

See Table 4, Appendix G for significant data concerning the status of ARNG officers. These data were produced 

by the new automated personnel reporting system. 

Personnel Actions 

Federal recognition actions increased during the year. In 

FY 1968 there were 4,210 appointments compared to 

4,558 in FY 1969; 4,252 promotions in FY 1968 and 4,741 

this year. There were 36,413 reassignments in FY 1968 

compared to 26,666 in FY 1969; and a total of 5,602 separations in last year compared to 6,789 in FY 1969. 

OF1 

These actions indicate a return to normal volume after 

the major reorganization of 1967-1968.

FY 1969 selection boards which considered officers for 

promotion under the mandatory provisions of Reserve 

Officer Personnel Act. 

ENLISTED PERSONNEL 

Enlisted Personnel Procurement 

and Losses 

During FY 1969 there was a total procurement of 52,683 

enlisted personnel and a total of 51,405 personnel losses. 

Table 6, Appendix G gives figures relating to enlisted 

personnel losses and gains. 

Reserve Enlistment Program 

In Fiscal Year 1969, 43,096 nonprior service personnel enlisted under the Reserve Enlistment Program of 1963 

(REP-63). Under this program, the active duty for training 

required for all nonprior service enlistees varied from a 

minimum of four months to that period required for Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) qualification. In FY 

1969 the average period required for MOS qualification 

was approximately 5.4 months. 

Active Duty for Training 

At the beginning of FY 1969, 8,239 men who had enlisted 

in FY 1968 were awaiting training spaces in the Active 

Army training centers. There were 36,888 programmed 

to enlist in FY 1969 and to enter training within the same 

year. Individuals awaiting entry to Active Duty for Training (ACDUTRA) as of 30 June 1969 numbered 19,377. 

During FY 1969, 31,290 Army Guardsmen actually entered the active duty for training program. Since the beginning of this program in 1956, 776,411 Guardsmen have 

enlisted or volunteered for the programs; 706,481 have 

actually entered training, and 661,887 have completed 

ACDUTRA and returned to their units. On 30 June 1969, 

12,455 Army National Guard enlisted men were participating in the ACDUTRA program in Army Training Centers, Service Schools, and other facilities throughout the 

United States.

Military Occupational Specialty Test 

The Army National Guard continued Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) testing during FY 1969. During 

this period the Army National Guard achieved a new high 

in the passing rate for the November 1968 cycle. Table 7, 

Appendix G shows results of the August 1968, November 

1968, and February 1969 cycles. 

OFFICER AND ENLISTED 

PERSONNEL. 

Line of Duty Determination 

This function, delegated to the Chief, National Guard 

Bureau on 1 November 1964, charged the Bureau with responsibility for line of duty determinations for Army 

National Guard personnel not on active duty. It is now 

operating on a current basis after the procurement of 

additional personnel and revision of the regulations governing this function. The implementation of changes in 

regulations has resulted in simplification of procedures 

at both State and local levels. It has also reduced the number of investigations formerly submitted to the Bureau for 

final approval. 

Statistics concerning line of duty determinations are 

included in Table 8, Appendix G. 

PERSONNEL REPORTING 

As a result of increased emphasis required in the area of 

personnel automation, a Plans, Policy and Analysis 

Branch was established 1 April 1969 as a part of Army 

Personnel Division to provide both short and long range 

review and planning of personnel reporting and statistical 

gathering. 

Last year the Army Personnel Division tested and implemented the revised Personnel Reporting System, which 

provides an officer personnel data base at both State and 

NGB level. Initial collection of enlisted data at the State 

level was also initiated. The officer portion of the system 

became fully operational on 1 July 1969 as scheduled. 

Twenty-nine reports previously prepared manually by 

the States or NGB, which are necessary but for which NGB 

lacked capability, have been designed, programmed and 

tested. This will be a continuing effort to alleviate manual 

collection of data. 

MILITARY SERVICE BRANCH 

The preparation of the Army National Guard Register was 

automated in March 1969. The automated edition contains personal information on approximately 32.000 active 

and inactive ARNG officers and warrant officers. 

During the year the Military Service Branch of the 

Army Personnel Division, NGB processed 9,479 letters of 

eligibility for retired pay at age 60 and 4,926 Statements 

of Service (NGB Form 03D) to officers in the Army National Guard. 

The Branch also processed requests for verification of 

service performed in the Army National Guard, decorations and awards, and requests for statement of service for 

retired pay purposes. Correspondence of this nature totaled 3,987 pieces. 

COMMAND SERGEANTS 

MAJOR PROGRAM 

In February 1969, State Adjutants General were given 

guidance for implementing the Command Sergeants Major 

Program (CSM) in the ARNG. States were requested to 

forward CSM nominations to the National Guard Bureau 

not later than 1 May 1969. This would allow time for review and recommendation by the Chief, National Guard 

Bureau prior to forwarding nominations to the Department 

of the Army Command Sergeants Major Selection Board, 

USARCPC, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. Additionally, 

several States were requested to submit nominations for 

membership in the Department of the Army Reserve Component Command Sergeants Major Selection Board to be 

convened at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Based on recommendations received, five ARNG field grade officers and 

three Sergeants Major (grade E-9) were nominated to represent the ARNG as members of the DA Reserve Components CSM Selection Board. 

An informal Review Board was established in the National Guard Bureau for the purpose of determining the 

nature of the National Guard Bureau's recommendation. 

The nominations were reviewed for completeness and 

background and served as basis for the National Guard 

Bureau's recommendation. 

The States submitted 509 nominations (66.7 percent of 

numbers assigned) for participation in the first increment 

of the program. Alaska, Delaware, District of Columbia, 

and Nevada did not participate in the first increment of 

the program. 

Of the 509 nominations received, 428 (84.1 percent) 

were forwarded to the Department of the Army Reserve 

Component CSM Selection Board for consideration by 

required date of 23 May 1969. A total of 81 (15.9 percent) 

of the nominations were returned to the States as administratively unqualified for consideration at this time. 

Among causes for this action were: No current MOS Evaluation, no security clearance of Secret or higher, incomplete CSM Efficiency Report, not in CSM position, no 

letter of recommendation from State, and received too late 

to process. 

The Selection Board action was scheduled to be completed by 1 July 1969, with the award of the CSM designation (MOS OOZ50) to be announced in a DA Circular on 

1 August 1969. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 29 
ARMY SURGEON 

The Army Surgeon's Office, National Guard Bureau, continued to place prime emphasis on obtaining maximum 

medical support for the Army National Guard to help obtain a high standard of physical fitness and medical 

readiness. 

During FY 1969 the Army Surgeon instituted a quarterly newsletter to the various States which was well received by State Surgeons. The newsletter covers all facets 

of medical interest to the State Surgeons, several of whom 

wrote letters expressing appreciation for these newsletters. 

Efforts were continued during the year to coordinate, 

in certain of the medium-sized and large States, the establishment of Army National Guard medical examining 

stations. So far about twelve States have established such 

stations. The procurement of necessary medical equipment for these stations was made possible by Change 1, 

TA 130-1, dated 29 May 1967. The Army Surgeon, NGB, 

believes that when the National Guard performs its own 

medical examinations it will save time and money and 

provide a better medical examination. Other States are 

being encouraged to establish medical examining stations 

during the coming year. 

On 13 May 1968, 12,234 Army National Guardsmen 

were ordered to active duty with the active Army. From 

that date until 31 December 1968, only 67 of those entering active duty were returned to the States by the active 

Army because of medical conditions existing before mobilization. Thus, 99.5 percent of the ARNG personnel 

ordered to active duty were actually medically fit for duty 

on the day they were mobilized. 

By 1 September 1968, all SRF II personnel were required to have a Type A medical examination which was 

less than one year old. The original plan for annual examinations was changed when Chief, Office of Reserve Components, judged the time excessive to accomplish the task. 

For the first time, members of the National Guard in 

SRF II were required to receive the basic worldwide immunizations required by the active Army. The additional 

requirement was accomplished efficiently. 

The Army Surgeon, NGB, stressed the importance of 

individual physical fitness to all personnel in the Army 

National Guard during FY 1969. A special senior officer 

physical fitness evaluation program was instituted to 

interest officers (age 40 and over) in the program. 

Only $736,000 of the initial FY 1969 ARNG medical 

budget of $870,000 was used. This indicates that the State 

medical examination stations are doing an excellent job. 

The Army Surgeon's office processed 35,900 cases 

during the year. A total of 26,806 officers' medical examinations were reviewed. Review of those records revealed 

400 officers medically unfit for the purpose examined. The 

only enlisted ARNG medical examination reports reviewed by the Army Surgeon's Office are those referred for 

professional opinion. During the last year 278 such reports 

were reviewed. 

Army Personnel Division, NGB, is responsible for final 

review of line of duty cases involving disease and/or 

injury of ARNG personnel. However, approximately 382 

questionable cases were referred to the Army Surgeon's 

Office during FY 1969 for professional medical advice. 

During FY 1969, approximately 459 medical vouchers 

for civilian medical treatment of ARNG personnel were 

processed by the Army Surgeon's Office, in addition to 

inquiries from the various States concerning hospitaliza30 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 

tion and medical treatment for ARNG personnel. During 

the year, the Army Surgeon's office replied to over 1,033 

inquiries to the various States concerning hospitalization 

and medical care for ARNG personnel at Federal expense. 

See Table 9, Appendix G for a summary of officer medical 

examination reports. 
ORGANIZATION 

AND TRAINING 

The Army National Guard troop basis on 30 June 1969 

consisted of 3,038 company or detachment size units with 

a total authorized strength of 400,000. This represented an 

increase of four units since 30 June 1968. See Table 10, 

Appendix G for a listing of the ARNG troop basis as of 

30 June 1969. 

Adjustments in the Army National Guard's force structure were relatively minor as it kept pace with changing 

National needs after the massive readjustment in 1968. 

The most extensive reorganization actions took place in 

Missouri and Texas where two Nike Hercules battalions 

were replaced by engineer, military police, and transportation units. 

Other important actions included the organization of 

annual field training site units in Florida, Indiana, and 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and reorganization from 

reduced to full structure of special forces companies in 

Montana, Rhode Island, Utah, and West Virginia. 

SELECTED RESERVE FORCE 

The Army National Guard Selected Reserve Force II, 

composed of 89,000 Guardsmen in 622 company and detachment size units, assumed mission responsibility on 

1 May 1968. These units, located in 49 States and 798 

communities, comprised the bulk of combat elements in 

a balanced three Division Force Equivalent. The Selected 

Reserve Force training objective has always been to be 

ready to mobilize within seven days after alert and to 

enter active duty at 93 percent strength. 

The "Selected Reserve Force" designation will be 

discontinued after 30 September 1969, since all Army 

National Guard units have approached a readiness parity 

by sustaining high manning levels in FY 1969. 

TRAINING OBJECTIVES 

The training objective for Army National Guard units for 

training year 1968-1969 was the completion of platoonlevel training culminating with the conduct of platoon 

training tests during annual field training in the summer 

of 1969. Artillery units were to complete battery level 

testing in the same period. Essentially this objective was 

achieved with many units successfully undergoing training one to two levels higher than the established minimum 

standards. 

INACTIVE DUTY TRAINING 

The continuity and progression of training at home stations were hampered by the major reorganization of the 

Army National Guard last year. This reorganization eliminated many units and added others. Therefore, it was 

necessary to assign new missions to entire units and to 

reassign individuals to new skill positions. The subsequent retraining program required units to return to a 

lower training level which resulted in a temporary reduction in combat readiness. However, the reduction 

provided units the opportunity to firm their training foundation and will insure an orderly, uniform progression to 

desired readiness levels. 

Training continues to be hindered by shortages of 

signal equipment, modern aircraft, and ground suveillance radar equipment. Lack of adequate training sites 

also caused a problem in the conduct of weekend training. 

As the proficiency level of all units increases, the need for 

larger, more adequate training areas to accommodate the 

training will also increase. Units continue to travel long 

distances to weekend training sites, which places an 

additional strain on equipment and personnel. 

Attendance at inactive duty training, excluding constructive attendance, for FY 1968 was 98 percent for officers and warrant officers compared to 98.8 percent for 

FY 1969. Attendance at this training by enlisted men in 

FY 1968 was 97.3 percent and 96.8 percent for FY 1969. 

ANNUAL FIELD TRAINING 

During FY 1969 annual field training (AFT) of 15 days was 

conducted for all units with 368,286 Army National 

Guardsmen attending. This figure represents 98.1 percent 

for ARNG-assigned personnel including constructive 

attendance. 

CIVIL DISTURBANCE TRAINING • 

All Army National Guard combat units, combat support 

units, and combat service support units, whose missions 

include support to civil authorities, were authorized to 

conduct four unit training assemblies of refresher training 

in civil disturbance operations this year. The use qf other 

unit training assemblies for this purpose was a matter of 

coordination between Adjutants General and the Commanding General, United States Continental Army 

Command. The additional training has improved the 

competence of personnel in coping with civil disturbances, although the primary mission of readiness has suffered because additional regular training assemblies were 

not authorized. 

SCHOOL PROGRAM 

Officers and enlisted men of the Army National Guard 

continued courses of instruction at Army Service and 

Army Area Schools. During FY 1969, 8,968 personnel 

attended these resident courses. Additionally, about'65,-

000 Guardsmen enrolled in the home study Army Extension Courses. 

Continued emphasis was placed on the attendance of 

selected key officers at the Senior Officers Civil Disturbance Orientation Course conducted at the Military Police 

School. During the year 575 officers attended this course. 

During the last month of the fiscal year, the Department 

of the Army opened the initial flight training course to the 

Army National Guard. One man was authorized to participate in this program in June, the first to do so since September 1965. Present plans provide for 357 individuals to 

attend the school during FY 1970. 

Locally-conducted schools have been authorized by 

Chief, National Guard Bureau, to orient commanders on 

the importance of Army Aviation as used in Vietnam. 

Department of the Army announced the conduct of a 

resident/nonresident course at the US Army War College. 

Twenty-one Army National Guard senior officers were 

selected to participate in this course. Eight general officers 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 31 
also attended the two-week Senior Officer Orientation 

Course at the College. 

The latest reorganization of the Army National Guard 

caused an excess number of officers in most States. As a 

result, the enrollment in the State OCS program was 

seriously curtailed this year. The States restricted the input to the OCS program to about 3,000. This figure included 

about 300 members of the US Army Reserve. It is estimated 

that 1,800 will be graduated during the summer months 

of 1969. 

ARMY AVIATION 

During FY 1969 the number of aviators on flying status 

decreased from 1,719 to 1,640. The lack of Army National 

Guard quotas for primary aviator training continued to 

restrict the ARNG's ability to replace attrition losses. 

Chart 1, Appendix G, shows aviator strength for the past 

decade. 

The actual accomplishment of 175,449 hours was 

below the Fiscal Year Program. 

The aircraft accident rate per 100,000 hours flown was 

10.8. The National Guard Bureau continued its emphasis 

on aviation safety by sponsoring an expanded army area 

safety conference at Springfield, Missouri in October 1968. 

In addition, The Adjutants General of several States were 

authorized to conduct Army Aviation Orientation Training 

for ARNG commanders of battalion and higher level units. 

This training was designed to acquaint them with the capabilities and limitations of aviation in the ARNG. The 

ARNG aircraft accident rate is reflected in Chart 2, 

Appendix G. 

The requirement for enlisted crew chiefs and flight 

engineers generated by the addition of Utility and Cargo 

aircraft continued to expand. At the close of FY 1968 there 

were 130 enlisted men on crew-member flying status and 

156 enlisted men on noncrew-member flying status. 

AIR DEFENSE PROGRAM 

The ARNG Air Defense Program consisted of 17 States 

providing one group headquarters, 17 battalion headquarters, and 54 fire units at the beginning of the year. On 

16 August 1968. the Department of Defense announced the 

close out of Nike Hercules units consisting of seven headquarters and headquarters batteries (HHB) and 25 firing 

batteries. Of these, two ARNG HHB and eight ARNG firing 

batteries were involved. The two HHB and four of the firing batteries in Missouri and Texas were inactivated. The 

four other sites to be closed out were in Connecticut, 

Illinois, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Except for the 

Pennsylvania battery, these units were moved to sites 

manned by the active Army. The Pennsylvania battery 

was inactivated and a replacement ARNG unit was activated in New Jersey. The ARNG lost 361 technicians as a 

result of this decision. 

On 14 May 1969, the Department of the Army announced that five additional Nike Hercules firing sites 

would be closed during FY 1970. Three of these sites, 

located in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, are manned 

by ARNG. Since this eliminated all ARNG firing batteries 

in the Philadelphia area, the HHB, 166th Artillery, Pennsylvania ARNG, will also be inactivated. The ARNG will 

lose approximately 289 technicians as a result of this 

decision. 

The ARNG Air Defense units enjoyed a successful 

operational performance during FY 1969. Outstanding 

achievements include winning of the ARADCOM Commander's Trophy by Battery B, 2d Missile Battalion, 20th 

Artillery, Washington ARNG. The trophy is presented to 

the outstanding Nike Hercules battery in ARADCOM. 

Twenty "E" Awards were presented to CONUS Nike 

Hercules and Hawk missile units for excellence in combat 

proficiency. Thirteen of the 20 awards went to ARNG Air 

Defense units. 

ARMY ADVISORS 

On 30 June 1969 there were 561 officer advisors on duty 

with 52 US Army Advisor Groups. This represents a gain 

of 26 advisors during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 

and a gain of 160 advisors during the fiscal year. These 

figures do not consider that portion of assigned officer 

strength consisting of advisor group administrative and 

executive officers. See Table 11, Appendix G, for status 

of advisors. 

32 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
LOGISTICS 

Six major factors influenced Army National Guard logistics during Fiscal Year 1969. 

The requirement for redistribution of equipment to 

support the Army National Guard force structure after 

reorganization was a factor. This project, including the 

processing and transfer of over 16,000 items of TOE 

equipment, was completed during the fiscal year. 

Development of plans and program support for a onetime upgrade of the Army National Guard equipment 

serviceability readiness profile influenced ARNG logistics. 

This action, to be implemented in fiscal year 1970, is an 

integral part of the overall Defense program to improve 

readiness. 

Plans were developed to provide essential logistical 

support for the Army National Guard units scheduled for 

demobilization and return to ARNG status during FY 1970. 

Emphasis continued on improving unit mobilization 

readiness and the increased logistics support associated 

with ARNG training activities. 

Equipping and training of Army National Guard units 

for civil disturbance operations was also a factor which 

influenced ARNG logistics during the year. 

Emphasis increased on ARNG equipment maintenance 

at both organizational and support levels. 

FIREPOWER 

The primary action accomplished in the area of firepower 

items was the completion of the redistribution of equipment necessary to support the reorganization of ARNG in 

1968. Receipt of 262 M48A1 Combat Tanks from depot 

rebuild enabled the ARNG to turn in most of the M41 

Combat Tanks which were in the ARNG inventory prior to 

the end of FY 1968. Fifteen 155mm Howitzer M109's were 

received against an overall ARNG allocation of 388. Continued receipt of these items is scheduled in FY 1970 and 

should significantly improve the overall ARNG artillery 

posture. Also 15,008 M14 rifles; 47 106mm Recoilless 

Rifles; 38 Mortars 4.2 on Mounts: and five M24A1 Honest 

John Launchers were received during the fiscal year. 

MOBILITY 

Principal mobility items received during the FY were: 

549 five-ton Dump Trucks; 389 M151A1 Vi-ton Utility 

Trucks; 183 M151A1C 1/4-ton Utility Trucks; 40 M62 

Wrecker Trucks; 934 M715 Cargo Trucks; 424 M725 

Ambulance Trucks; 4,533 M105A2 1 Vi-ton Cargo Trailers; 

130 M129A2C Van Semitrailers; 4,904 %-ton Cargo 

Trailers; 191 M548 Cargo Carriers; 125 M146 6-ton Van 

Shop Semitrailers; and 47 Light Recovery Vehicles. 

COMMUNICATIONS 

The most significant improvement in communications 

equipment was the allocation and receipt of Army Area 

Communication Equipment Items. 34 MCC-6 Terminal 

Telegraphs; nine AN/MRC-54 Repeater Set Radios; 37 

AN/MRC-69 Radio Terminal Sets; and 21 AN/MRC-73 

Radio Terminal Sets were received by ARNG during 

FY 1969. 

Also received during the fiscal year were 28,398 

telephones and 1,576 "old family" GRC-3-8 Series Radios. 

TACTICAL SUPPORT 

Significant improvements were made in the ARNG inventory through the receipt of several items of Tactical 

Support Equipment. Items received were: 10 Wheel 

Mounted Cranes; 30 Fork Lift Trucks; two Fuel System 

Supply Points; 672 Mine Detectors; 458 .5KW through 

10KW Generator Sets; 18 30" Xenon Searchlights; 63 

18-cubic yard Scoop, Earthmoving Towed Scrapers; five 

Laundry Units; eight Full-Track, Low-Speed, Medium 

Tractors; 21 Industrial Wheel, Diesel-Driven Tractors; and 

63 Motorized Heavy Road Graders. 

MAINTENANCE 

Review of the reported support maintenance backlog 

indicates a reduction over last year. The general condition 

of ARNG equipment is improving through increased emphasis by commanders on the Materiel Readiness Program. 

The influx of new equipment, depot overhaul of tactical 

transport vehicles and continued use of an upgraded 

repair parts supply priority have also aided this 

improvement. 

A reconditioning program was instituted in FY 1968 

to improve the 5-ton and

 3/4-ton vehicle fleet. The final 

vehicles included in this program are now being returned 

to the States. A similar program is currently underway to 

recondition the 2V2-ton truck fleet. Anticipated funding 

for FY 1970 should significantly improve the readiness 

posture of ARNG equipment and assist in further reducing 

the support maintenance backlog. A general improvement 

has been observed over last year in The Army Equipment 

Records System (TAERS). Materiel Readiness reports have 

improved and the error rate is considerably lower than for 

the same period last year indicating greater command 

interest. 

ARMY AVIATION MAINTENANCE 

Aircraft operational availability rates, for a majority of the 

fleet, were within the standards set by Department of the 

Army. The UH-19 aircraft receives extremely limited 

logistical support. The high rate of availability of this aircraft is due to an effective cannibalization program plus 

the exceptional maintenance and supervisory personnel 

associated with the ARNG Aviation Program. Additional 

U-6 Fixed Wi ng and TH-13M Rotary Wing Aircraft were 

gained during the year. These gains offset O-lA withdrawals and the continued attrition, through cannibalization, of the UH-19. See Table 12, Appendix G for ARNG 

Aviation Aircraft availability. 

CROSS-SERVICE AGREEMENTS 

The ARNG is continuing to provide maintenance support 

to DOD agencies. By far, the greatest assistance was provided to the United States Army Reserve (USAR) and the 

active Army. In a few cases maintenance support was 

provided to the Navy and Marines. In many cases ARNG 

activities are providing Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 33 
(POL) to DOD agencies in an attempt to reduce overall 

cost of the military establishment. These cross-service 

agreements benefit all DOD agencies and lead to a closer 

working relationship and understanding of each other's 

mission. 

AUTOVON 

During FY 1969, 31 additional Automatic Voice Network 

(AUTOVON) circuits were installed at various selected 

activities of the Army National Guard. There are currently 

146 AUTOVON circuits in use at Army National Guard 

activities. Fiscal Year 1970 through FY 1972 AUTOVON 

requirements for the Army National Guard have been 

submitted to the United States Army Strategic Communications Command. 

AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING 

LOGISTICS PROCEDURES 

Work continued toward expansion and refinement of 

ARNG automatic data processing applications for logistics. 

This action was directed toward standardization of the 

logistics system as well as accumulation of additional 

budgetary data to more effectively support ARNG management needs. Major developments in the logistics program 

during FY 1969 include publication of NGB Pamphlets 

75-2-2 and 75-10-1. These pamphlets are described in 

Appendix F. 

INSTALLATIONS 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION 

PROGRAM 

The National Defense Act of 1950 (PL 81-782) provides for 

Federal support-of Army National Guard facilities construction. Each year since FY 1952, with the exception of 

FY 1967, funds have been appropriated for purchase, 

lease, construction, expansion, rehabilitation and conversion of existing facilities. Under this legislation the 

States are required to furnish suitable construction sites at 

no cost to the Federal Government. Funding for approved 

armory construction is 75 percent Federal and 25 percent 

State, with 100 percent Federal support for approved nonarmory construction. 

In December 1964, all programmed construction was 

suspended pending reorganization of the Guard and Reserve Forces. During the next three years only a few nonarmory project starts were permitted on an emergency 

basis. During the first half of FY 1968, some urgently 

required armory projects were also authorized on a caseby-case basis,pending development and approval of firm 

stationing plans. In February 1968, the Secretary of Defense removed virtually all restrictions and normal 

programming of construction was resumed. 

Fiscal Year 1969 is therefore the first full-program year 

since reorganization. The approved Budget Plan provided 

$9.5 million for construction of 20 armory projects and 

15 nonarmory projects. As "primary user" of the facilities 

at Camp Drum, New York; Fort Chaffee, Arkansas; and 

Camp Roberts, California, the National Guard Bureau has 

been assigned responsibility for programming and funding 

of construction at these installations. The $9.5 million 

includes $0.5 million for construction at Camp Drum. 

Funding 

In FY 1969, carryover funds from prior years for the 

Military Construction Program for Army National Guard 

amounted to $16.4 million with an estimated obligational 

objective of $12.7 million, set by Department of Defense. 

An additional $2.7 million appropriation was made by the 

Congress for FY 1969 (PL 90-513), bringing the total available funds to $19.1 million. 

Obligations 

The total obligation for FY 1969 was $12,847,607 as 

follows: Armory, $5,701,151; Nonarmory, $6,107,159; 

Advance Planning & Design (A&E), $791,765; Minor Construction, $247,532. 

Future Requirements 

The Army National Guard operates and maintains facilities in all 50 States, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the 

District of Columbia. In total there are 2,774 armories used 

for home station assembly, storage, and training. There are 

also 57 State camps of various sizes including four of 

multibrigade or division capacity. In addition there are 

2,200 administrative and logistical support facilities which 

contribute to the training and readiness of the ARNG units 

34 > FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
All of the above facilities are utilized in accordance with 

the approved inventory and stationing plans submitted by 

the States during the reorganization of the Guard and 

Reserve Components completed in late FY 1968. 

Approximately one-fourth of the facilities are not adequate to provide the intended support function and must 

be replaced. The present known backlog of construction 

requirements for the ARNG is almost $300 million at 

current prices. This situation was aggravated by the virtual 

freeze on construction during the period December 1964 

until February 1968 pending Department of Defense approval of Guard and Reserve Forces reorganization. 

In order to provide more adequate facilities for the 

Guard in a reasonable time, the Department of the Army 

sought an increase in the Five Year Defense Plan beginning 

in FY 1970. By Program Change Decision the Department 

of Defense did approve an increase to a $15.0 million annual level. There is a possibility that this figure will go 

higher as a result of a further study of the requirements. 

Table 13, Appendix G shows the number of facilities 

needed to adequately house and train ARNG, the total 

adequate facilities in being, the number required and the 

cost of the requirement. The cost figures include new 

construction, additions and alterations to present facilities. 

Although other factors, such as personnel and equipment, are also critical, there is a direct relationship between the availability of adequate facilities and the readiness posture of Army National Guard units. Armories, 

which comprise 60 percent of the backlog of construction, 

are needed for assembly of the unit, storage of weapons 

and supplies, and for the administration and training of 

the unit at home station. The overcrowded, insecure, and 

makeshift facilities now used by over 800 ARNG units 

contribute to waste of valuable training time, lower morale, 

loss or damage of supplies and equipment, and an overall 

lowering of unit readiness. 

The remaining 40 percent of the construction backlog 

is for nonarmory facilities. These are of three general 

types: administrative/logistical facilities not at an armory, 

State annual field training camps, and inactive Army 

camps used for annual field training. All of these nonarmory facilities are urgently required to support the 

training of units either during the year or during the payoff period of the two weeks' summer encampment. Any 

appreciable lack or inadequacy in these nonarmory facilities, which are of a minimum austere nature at best, will 

seriously detract from the achievement of prescribed 

training readiness goals. 

In order to provide these needed facilities in a reasonable time and to minimize the adverse effect of an annual 

7.1 percent rise in construction costs, a new Program 

Change Request has been submitted to buy out the backlog 

of requirements in a 10-year period. 

REAL PROPERTY 

The National Guard Bureau provides all possible assistance to the States in licensing appropriate Federallyowned facilities and in leasing privately-owned facilities 

when required for the Army National Guard. Durying FY 

1969, the ARNG made use of 243 Federally-owned facilities and 234 privately-owned facilities under Federal

Facilities, 15 Organizational Maintenance Shops, four 

USPFO Offices and 160 Training Area Sites and Ranges. 

Table 14, Appendix G is a list of State- and Federallyoperated installations. 

REPAIRS AND UTILITIES 

Federal funds in the amount of $4,638,672 were provided 

under 55 separate Service Contracts with the States to 

operate, maintain, and repair the nonarmory facilities of 

the Army National Guard. These funds provide for operating costs, utilities, maintenance, and repair of nonarmory 

facilities. 

In addition to funding under Service Contracts, Federal 

funds in the amount of $670,614 were provided to sup- • 

port a total of 140 projects for minor new construction, 

alterations, extension, and relocation of nonarmory 

facilities. 

RIFLE RANGE REPAIRS 

Federal funds in the amount of $87,610 were provided to 

support 36 States in the maintenance and repair of 51 

approved known-distance rifle ranges. 

FACILITIES SUPPORT 

AT FIELD TRAINING SITES 

Annual Field Training Sites. These facilities are designed 

to provide the essential requirements for support of Army 

National Guard units during periods of annual field training. The following cantonment-type facilities are authorized: mess halls and kitchens, bath-latrines, company 

administration and supply buildings, battalion headquarters, brigade headquarters, battalion supply and ration 

breakdown buildings, dispensaries, enlisted barracks and 

officer barracks. 

A total of $5,127,541 in Federal funds was obligated 

to support the opening, operating, and closing costs of 

annual field training sites. Of this amount $2,438,559 was 

obligated for Federally-controlled sites and $2,688,982 for 

State-controlled training sites. 

Weekend Training Sites. These facilities are designed to 

provide minimum essential requirements for support of 

Army National Guard units during periods of weekend 

training. Construction is limited to austere facilities required for the health and safety of troops and security of 

Federal property. Weekend training was conducted in a 

field training environment to the maximum extent feasible 

at 135 separate weekend training sites. Federal funds in 

the amount of $1,571,671 were provided in support of 

this activity. Included in this amount, was approximately 

$315,000 to accomplish 50 minor construction projects at 

weekend training sites.

BUDGET 

Included in the President's Budget for Fiscal Year 1969 

were estimates for the Operation and Maintenance, Air 

National Guard Appropriation; National Guard Personnel, 

Air Force Appropriation; and Military Construction, Air 

National Guard Appropriation. United States Air Force 

and Department of Defense approved program guidance 

was followed in the development and preparation of these 

estimates. The following figures show the Budget Request 

and the adjustments to arrive at the final availability for 

the year. Direct National Guard Appropriations are reflected exclusively; anticipated reimbursements are not 

included. Dollars are expressed in millions.

•Includes $12.2 million carryover from FY 1968. plus new obligation authority ($8.3 

million) for FY 1969. 

The FY 1969 budget request was submitted prior to the 

first mobilization of ANG units. Subsequently the mobilization adjustments shown above were effected by Congress and represent the cost reduction commensurate with 

the diminished FY 1969 force. The airlift retention adjustment represents Congressional approval for the retention 

of three C-97 groups and one C-121 group throughout FY 

1969. (The Air National Guard had previously been directed to phase out these groups in the first quarter FY 

1969; consequently funding was not included in the budget request.) 

The supplemental appropriation affected only Operations and Maintenance and included the 1 July 1968 

civilian pay increase, $2.7 million; Wage Board rate increases, $4.0 million; Federalization of air technicians 

(PL 90-486), $2.0 million; and the early release of mobilized units, $2.1 million. 

The 1 July 1968 Military Personnel pay increase 

amounted to $3.4 million; however, reprogramming within the appropriation made possible the absorption of the 

cost, so a supplemental appropriation was not required. 

Military Personnel cost for the early release of mobilized 

units was approximately $1.8 million; this was also absorbed by reprogramming actions. 

Financial plans received from the bases continued to 

show improvement during the fiscal year. The increased 

quality of the financial plans provided a realistic depiction of mission requirements to the operating divisions in 

the Bureau. 

Fund requirements in the supply area were approximately doubled this fiscal year with the expansion of the 

Air Force stock fund to include all system support items. 

In conjunction with the above expansion, the advent of the 

Depot Maintenance Industrial Fund concept enabled two 

major projects in the Operation and Maintenance Appro38 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 

priation to be deleted. These were Project 411, Aircraft 

Maintenance Spares, Spare Parts and Supplies, and Project 

438, Base Operations and Maintenance. Previous requirements in these projects were adjusted and transferred to 

Project 431, Depot Maintenance and Project 448, Base 

Operation and Maintenance. 

The Civilian Personnel Cost Analysis (ANG-Cll) was 

submitted monthly by the bases during the entire fiscal 

year. This report directly correlates actual expenditures of 

Operations and Maintenance funds for civilian pay with 

actual manyears used. The report enables the National 

Guard Bureau to provide the Bureau of the Budget and 

Congress with valid, documented information as to those 

aspects of pay and benefits necessary for successful defense of annual requirements. The report also serves as an 

important financial management tool to the Base Detachment Commander. 

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE 

The ANG reviewed the Modernizing Military Pay Report 

of the First Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation, 

Reserve Forces Compensation for Inactive Duty. NGB 

did not concur with the recommendations inasmuch as 

they did not provide full comparability pay for ANG members. The submission of the Pay Modernization Bill to 
Congress was postponed by Secretary Laird so that its 

provisions could be thoroughly reexamined. 

Considerable effort was expended trying to get clarification from the Comptroller General of travel per diem 

entitlements for ANG members. Although still unresolved 

at the close of the fiscal year, efforts will continue until 

final action is complete. 

The computer program for consolidating C99 Trial 

Balance reports at NGCC became operational in FY 1969. 

This completed the transfer of responsibility for A&F 

report consolidation from DPC, St. Louis. Missouri to the 

National Guard Computer Center. 

Much time and effort were spent during FY 1969 in 

revising funding procedures for aircraft depot maintenance 

work which is now under the industrial fund. Revised 

procedures developed during last year should enhance 

P431 fund control and management during FY 1970. 

Improved procedures were also implemented in the Aviation POL area. As a result, responsibility for certification 

of Aviation POL bills was returned to the AF Stock Fund. 

The Accounting and Finance Branch was reorganized 

to give added emphasis to command accounting responsibilities and to minimize station level accounting activities. Accounting for ANG military personnel appropriations was transferred to Air Force Accounting and Finance Center, Denver, Colorado. A portion of the O&M 

fund accounting and reporting responsibility was transferred to ADSN 412602, St. Louis, Missouri. Every effort 

will be made to liquidate remaining accounts as soon as 

possible and to develop capabilities needed for future 

operations. 

Representatives of the ANG participated in an overall 

evaluation of the Air Reserve Forces Centralized Computer Pay System. Payment through the system has been 

excellent; however, the evaluation team recommended 

changes which would improve control and lessen base 

workload. 

MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS 

AND STATISTICAL SERVICES 

The JCS Force Status Report (FORSTAT) was implemented. 

Air Force Wide, on 1 March 1968. Initially, the only ANG 

units reporting under this system were flying units. During Fiscal Year 1969, nonflying units (GEEIA, Mobile 

Communications, Tactical Control, Communication, 

Weather, Recon Technical Squadrons, AC&W, Air Base 

Squadron) began reporting under this system. FORSTAT 

has already eliminated the Monthly Operational Readiness Report and it is anticipated that it will eliminate the 

Quarterly Operational Readiness Report sometime in the 

near future. Because of the flexibility of the FORSTAT 

reporting format, it is anticipated that supplementary 

information will be gradually incorporated and other 

previously required reports eliminated. 

On 1 July 1968, the ANG Transport Utilization Report 

was changed from a manual report to a mechanized report, 

with no overlapping period for the two methods. 

On 1 March 1969, ANGM 174-01 was discontinued and 

replaced by the "Index of Recurring Reports Applicable to 

the Air National Guard, RCS: ANG-U1." This index has 

been designed to identify reporting requirements and to 

describe data available in existing reports. In this way, the 

booklet can serve as an effective management tool. It is 

anticipated the new index will be published semiannually. 

PERSONNEL 

MILITARY STRENGTH 

On 30 June 1969, the strength of the Air National Guard 

was 83,414, including 10,281 officers and 73,133 airmen. 

This constituted 99 percent of the spaces allocated by the 

Department of Defense. 

The 84,260 paid drill spaces authorized as of June 1969 

were 83.6 percent of the Unit Manning Document (UMD) 

of 100,748. 

Of the 1,300 officers (560 pilots) and 9,211 airmen who 

were mobilized in January and May of 1968, 948 officers 

(508 pilots) and 6,415 airmen returned to the ANG upon 

demobilization in FY 1969. 

PROMOTION OF 

GENERAL OFFICERS 

New procedures for the promotion of general officers of 

the Air National Guard were established by the Department of the Air Force. Effective with the board convened 

by Hq USAF on 1 May 1969, temporary Federal recognition of general officer promotions and appointments is no 

longer granted. Permanent Federal recognition is effective on the date of Senate confirmation. 

OFFICER PERSONNEL 

and AIRMAN PERSONNEL 

Various tables referring to Officer Personnel concerning 

such subjects as officer promotion actions, average age by 

grade, total pilots, numbers of rated officers assigned, etc., 

are Tables, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Appendix I. 

Similar tables reflecting status of Airman Personnel 

are Tables 7 and 8, Appendix I. Some of the subjects 

covered are average age by grade and airmen on flying 

status. 

AIR NATIONAL GUARD SECTION 

OFFICER PROGRAM 

A Section Officer is an Air National Guard advisor serving 

on extended active duty, under provisions of Title 10, 

USC 265, and Title 10, USC 8033, in an authorized Hq 

USAF or major air command position. At Hq USAF and 

major air command level, the Section Officer helps formulate policies, plans, programs and regulations affecting the 

size, location, organization, training, mobilization, procurement, funding, and equipping of the Air Guard and 

Air Force Reserve. He also serves at Hq USAF as advisor 

on Air Reserve Forces Policy Committee on matters within his realm of responsibility, and at major air command 

level as Advisor to the Commander on Guard and Reserve 

Affairs. 

The tour of duty is normally four years. AFR 45-22 

contains guidance for submitting applications. There are 

presently 48 Section 265 Officer positions authorized at 

Hq USAF and major air commands and eight Section 8033 

authorized positions. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 39 
AIR ADVISORS 

The Air National Guard has been operating under a great 

handicap since December 1967. From the time of the SEA 

conflict until the end of FY 1969 the Air National Guard 

pilot authorizations had been cut to only one Senior Air 

Advisor per Wing. Also, since June 1968 the ANG has not 

been permitted to fill its Navigator authorizations. Therefore, to date the ANG has been operating with only 24 

Senior Air Advisors throughout all the ANG units in the 

United States. This suspension of rated personnel will 

prevail for the duration of the SEA conflict. 

REVITALIZATION OF THE 

OFFICER CORPS 

The Air National Guard continued the emphasis which 

would assure that younger officers are placed in command 

and staff positions. "Revitalization Boards" which reviewed the records of all those officers with more than 20 

years of creditable service were formed in most States. The 

boards reported to the Adjutants General concerned recommending retention of those officers whose service was 

vital to the Air National Guard and recommending transfer 

to the Retired Reserve or discharge of those officers whose 

retention was not critical. Response from the States revealed that officers had been screened out by 20 States and 

that nine States recommended that all officers be retained. 

The Revitalization Board did not meet by the end of the 

fiscal year in 16 States. Seven States did not report. 

RETIREMENT 

An analysis of the retirement certification project, which 

is conducted in accordance with Public Law 89-652, reveals that a total of 90 records were computed, certified 

and forwarded to Air Reserve Personnel Center for audit. 

After audit the individuals were notified of their eligibility 

as required. Thirty-three members were transferred to Retired Reserve and one member retired with 20 years' active 

duty, but was a former Air National Guard member. 

WAF PERSONNEL 

Effective 1 July 1968, the National Guard Bureau authorized the enlistment and appointment of women in the Air 

National Guard. Enlistments are for periods of either three 

or six years, must be approved by the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau, and may be for any position assignment 

authorized for regular Air Force WAF personnel. During 

FY 1969, four prior service and 12 nonprior service WAF 

ANG applications for enlistment were approved by the 

Chief, National Guard Bureau. WAF ANG enlistments 

have been to fill vacancies primarily in the administrative 

and personnel career fields. Some of these WAF members 

have also been employed as Air Technicians. 

PERSONNEL DATA SYSTEM 

The personnel data system has operated satisfactorily but 

without significant change during the past year. The modification to update the system, which was scheduled to 

occur in January, slipped to 1 July 1969. The original 

schedule did not provide sufficient time for programming 

and testing. The modification will occur immediately 

following the last update (end of June) for this fiscal year, 

concurrent with the DOD-directed conversion from service number to social security account number as the personnel identifier. This modification will update the ANG 

system to a compatible configuration with that of the 

active force. It will also make other general systems 

changes, such as conversion of the date element to yearmonth-day, which is to be the standard configuration in all 

computerized systems within the Department of Defense. 

Plans are being formulated for implementation of the 

Phase II Base Level Military Personnel System (BLMPS). 

A tentative data base has been established and general 

systems concepts developed, but means of computer support for the system has not yet been determined. DAP 

1600, which proposes satelliting AirForce Reserve CBPO's 

on Air Force bases for support on the B3500 was concurred 

in, and similar support requested for ANG CBPO's. Final 

approval of the DAP is pending. Within the active force. 

Phase II BLMPS is being phased in gradually by base as 

the B3500's become available. The last active force base is 

scheduled for conversion in December 1970. The Air 

National Guard must be prepared to implement the new 

system not later than conversion of the last active force 

base, in order to maintain compatibility for mobilization 

preparedness. 

Because of interface and use of common data between 

the personnel system and the Air Reserve Pay and Allowance System (ARPAS), and the effect of ARPAS on the 

CBPO, representatives of the personnel functional area 

participated in a complete evaluation of the computerized 

pay system during July and August 1968. The detailed 

systems evaluation was conducted within selected CBPO's 

in the field as well as the processing site. Air Force Accounting and Finance Center. The evaluation produced 

many recommendations for improvements within the 

system. A redesign effort is scheduled to begin early in the 

forthcoming year which will implement those changes 

determined to be feasible. 

40 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
MOBILIZED UNITS 

Nearly 17 months after men from 14 major Air National 

Guard units, representing 12 States and the District of 

Columbia, were mobilized on 26 January 1968, the last 

unit was demobilized on 18 June 1969. More than 10,500 

Air Guardsmen were involved in the January-May 1968 

mobilizations. 

While the mobilized units were still on active duty, 

plans were made to make their demobilization and reconstitution as rapid a process as possible. To ease the transition, Basic Military Training quotas were assigned to the 

State Headquarters of the mobilized units in order that the 

returning units might return to a trained nucleus of skilled 

airmen. The returning units will receive training quotas 

on a priority basis during FY 1970 in order to meet the 

final reconstitution date of June 1970. 

EDUCATION AND TRAINING 

The individual training program inthe AirNational Guard, 

comprised of four major categories —flight, technical, 

professional, and recruit —was designed to produce an 

end product to afford the ANG commander maximum assistance in achieving an adequate skill level manned unit. 

See Table 9, Appendix I, for the FY 1969 training program. 

During the fiscal year, 12,580 individuals went on active duty for training, using 1,611,809 mandays for a total 

expenditure of $15,611,944 of appropriated funds. Detailed program accomplishment by training category 

follows: 

Flight Training 

A total of 196 individuals entered undergraduate pilot 

training with 123 completing the training. There were 52 

individuals who entered navigator training and 63 were 

graduated as a result of a large number of entries in late 

FY 1967 (because pilot training lasts over one year and 

navigator training lasts approximately 10 months, there is 

no correlation between number of entries per year and 

graduates during the same time period). 

Advance flying training consisted of providing both 

combat crew training for the newly graduated pilot/navigator and cross-training of new ANG prior service pilots 

who were previously qualified in other aircraft. A total of 

311 students entered this program. 

Technical Training 

Technical training was composed of formal ATC school 

courses, special training through mobile training detachments (MDT's) and factory courses. The number of entries 

for Officer Technical Training was 1,082; the number for 

Airman Technical Training was 1,079. 

Professional Training 

There were 19 students entered in Squadron Officer 

School; 24 in Command and Staff College; 20 in Air War 

College; and 622 in NCO Academies during FY 1969. 

Recruit Training 

The ANG was authorized to enlist nonprior service individuals to fill critical Air Force Specialty Codes when 

recruitment of prior service individuals could not be accomplished. All of these enlistees were required to enter 

basic military training and approximately 70 percent 

continue in technical training. The remaining 30 percent 

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

table showing the breakout of recruit training is Table 10, 

Appendix 1. 

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING 

PROGRAM 

The National Guard Bureau is responsible for providing 

Air National Guard units with a sound, basic on-the-job 

training (OJT) program incorporating the concepts and 

philosophies of USAF, major air commands, NGB, and the 

many Air National Guard units. This program enables the 

ANG organization to efficiently perform its assigned mission by training personnel in specific tasks, each fitting 

into a pattern of unity. The favorable results of the FY 

1969 OJT program are reflected in Table 11, Appendix I. 

Forty-four units in 28 States received the "On-the-job 

Training Unit Achievement Certificate" for an outstanding 

on-the-job training program for FY 1969, based on the 

following criteria: Unit exceeded the ANG average for 

percentage of skill level manning, unit exceeded the ANG 

average Specialty Knowledge Test (SKT) passing rate, and 

unit was below the ANG average for percentage overtime 

in OJT. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 4 1 
Effective 1 April 1969, USAF deleted the Specialty 

Knowledge Test as a requirement for 5- and 7-level skill 

upgrading. The Bureau implemented this new policy for 

the ANG effective the same date. With the deletion of the 

SKT as a criterion for upgrading, the Bureau has made 

qualification on the Career Development Course Examination a mandatory requirement for 5- and 7-level upgrading. 

The 5- and 7-level SKT's are now used by USAF in its 

new Weighted Airman Promotion System. However, the 

Air National Guard is not presently included in the testing 

program under WAPS. The possibility of including the 

ANG in a new promotion testing program in the future is 

presently under consideration by Hq USAF. 

ANG NCO ACADEMY 

The Air National Guard NCO Academy completed its first 

year of full-time operation in FY 1969. The NCO Academy 

conducted five regular five-week courses and five special 

two-week courses during the fiscal year and graduated 481 

ANG NCO's. 

During FY 1970 the NCO Academy will conduct four 

regular five-week courses and six special two-week 

courses. Military Airlift Command, Air Training Command, Air Force Accounting and Finance Center, and the 

Air Force Reserve have quotas assigned in the ANG NCO 

Academy during FY 1970. 

ENFORCEMENT OF 

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS 

Under the provisions of Title 10, USC 673a, implemented 

by Executive Order No. 11366, dated 4 August 1967, ANG 

members who fail to satisfactorily participate and have 

not fulfilled their statutory service obligations are subject 

to involuntary order to active duty until their total active 

duty and active duty for training equals 24 months. This 

provision is utilized for those Guardsmen whose unsatisfactory participation is due to failure to attend scheduled 

training. A total of 64 Air National Guardsmen were processed for involuntary active duty under this authority. 

Any Guardsmen who are unsatisfactory participants 

due to failure to progress in skill qualification within the 

time limits allowed are subject to order to a 45-day involuntary active duty tour for intensive training. A total 

of 106 Air Guardsmen were processed for 45-day involuntary active duty tours for unsatisfactory training 

performance. 

AWARDS AND DECORATIONS 

The National Guard Bureau processed ten Air Force Commendation Medals (one Oak Leaf Cluster), one Air Medal, 

10 Airman's Medals, and two Legions of Merit in the past 

year. 

Recommendations for the Air Force Outstanding Unit 

Award were processed for the following units: 134th Air 

Refueling Group. 162d Fighter Group, 149th Fighter Group, 

163d Fighter Group, 161st Military Airlift Group, 187th 

Tactical Reconnaissance Group, 178th Tactical Fighter 

Group, and the 126th Air Refueling Wing. 
AIR SURGEON 

The Medical Service of the Air National Guard is organized to provide medical personnel trained and equipped 

to operate the required Medical Facilities in support of 

Air National Guard tactical and aeromedical units to fulfill mobilization mission. 

Currently the Medical Service is composed of 110 

units: 12 Tactical Hospitals, 43 USAF Dispensaries, 36 

Tactical Dispensaries, four Aeromedical Evacuation 

Squadrons, and 15 Aeromedical Evacuation Flights. 

Significant progresss has been made during the past 

year toward enhancing the operational capability of the 

Medical Service in the Air National Guard. 

A special Instructional Pamphlet provided guidance 

which assisted in improving the quality of the ANG medical examinations that are now performed by most of the 

ANG dispensaries and hospitals. Personnel are assessed 

and certified as available for worldwide assignjnent, 

temporarily disqualified, or permanently disqualified. In 

the latter case, action must be taken to discharge the 

member. 

A survey was made in calendar year 1968 to determine 

the number of waivers for physical reasons. A concerted 

effort was made by Flight Surgeons to develop an in-house 

program to thoroughly screen physical examinations. This 

step assisted immeasurably in developing an outstanding 

effectiveness program for flying and nonflying officers. 

When personnel of the Air National Guard were mobilized 

on 26 January 1968, less than 1 percent of over 9,000 men 

were found unqualified by a Tactical Air Command Survey one month after mobilization. 

The First Air Medical Technician Workshop was conducted 26 to 29 May 1969 at the Field Training Site, 

Savannah, Georgia. Attending the Workshop were 130 out 

of 137 Medical Technicians assigned in addition to a 

Medical Officer, Base Equipment Maintenance Officer, 

and Personnel Officers. Many facets of the Medical 

Technician position were clarified. Physical examinations, medical material, line of duty determinations, 

medical mobility and other related areas were discussed. 

The high level of interest and participation in the program, 

esprit de corps, and outstanding advancements are 

noteworthy. 

The Air Surgeon's Office initiated conferences to discuss professional recruiting. The conferences were followed up by personal and telephone contacts. Doctors, 

dentists, and nurses have been recruited in this manner. 

First line medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and supplies were procured to replace obsolete 

equipment. Medical funds for P470 accounts were closely 

monitored and the resulting savings were used to purchase the new equipment. 

A number of medical material items were listed in the 

T/A's through sound justification submitted to T/A monitors at depots. 

On 1 August 1965, at the request of MAC and with the 

approval of Hq USAF, the Air National Guard performed 

its first routine live mission in support of the MAC domestic Aeromedical Evacuation System. Originally, ANG 

C-121 aircraft transported patients between hospitals, in 

support of the active Air Force, over three separate routes 

within the Continental U.S. In mid-September 1965, 

participation was expanded to include an offshore misFY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 43 
sion to Alaska in which C-97 aircraft were used. In August 

1965. two of the CONUS missions were dropped and three 

offshore missions were added: Newfoundland. Puerto 

Rico and Panama, and Cuba and Bermuda. 

The active "live patient" mission has continued 

through the present date with an adverse patient incident 

rate of zero. Since commencement of this live Aeromedical 

Evacuation Mission, an impressive set of statistics has 

been accumulated. Please refer to Tables 12 and 13. Appendix I for FY 1969 statistics and cumulative statistics 

from 1965. 

There was a continuing shortage of Medical Service 

Corps Officers in administrative and medical supply 

specialties. To some degree the well-trained medical 

administrative NCO (AFSC 90670) has alleviated the 

administrative problem. Table 14 reflects the ANG medical unit manning and will be found in Appendix I. 

The Basic Orientation Course conducted at Sheppard 

AFB, Texas was attended by 57 physicians, nurses, and 

dentists. There were six physicians designated as Flight 

Medical Officers upon completion of the Aerospace Medicine Course at Brooks AFB. Texas. In addition, four 

physicians completed two phases of this course during 

FY 1969. This is a nine-week course and may be attended 

in three increments. Also, a five-day course on "Operational Aeromedical Problems" was attended by 30 ANG 

physicians, and the Flight Nurse Course at Brooks was 

attended by 66 nurses. Twelve medical career development courses are in various stages of development. 

The Office of the Air Surgeon has been conducting an 

office workshop for assigned Medical Air Technicians 

which lasts 10 to 15 days. Scope of training includes the 

updating of medical records and unit manning document 

programming of medical personnel. To date there have 

been technicians from 32 medical units including those 

in Hawaii. Puerto Rico and Alaska attending the workshop. 

The 36-bed Air Transportable Hospital was used during field training and ORI. Instruments were examined 

for damage and all unserviceable pharmaceuticals, supplies, and equipment were replaced. 

An overall evaluation of the FY 1969 ANG medical 

program indicates that medical units are well equipped 

and understand their support mission; a medical need 

exists for the ANG to support the active establishment in 

the air evacuation of patients; no epidemics of communicable or infectious diseases occurred during the annual 

field training tours or unit training assemblies; and that 

Air National Guard personnel are combat ready, with few 

exceptions, due to the close screening of medical examinations by medical officers, flight surgeons and civilian 

medical technicians, and continuing immunization 

programs. 

Physical health and the capability for proper medical 

support were the highest in the history of the Air National 

Guard in spite of continuing shortages in medical 

personnel.

On 30 June 1969 the Air National Guard had 858 Federally 

recognized units. Flying units were organized into 24 

wings, 91 groups, and 92 squadrons. The number of support units and nonflying units was 651. There were 100,-

748 military manpower spaces allocated to major commands to support the Air National Guard force structure. 

The Air National Guard Force structure by command is 

indicated in Table 15 located in Appendix I. 

ORGANIZATION ACTIONS 

AND AIRCRAFT CONVERSIONS 

A list of organization actions including unit activations, 

inactivations, and redesignations appears in Table 16, 

Appendix I. A complete list of aircraft conversions is 

located in Table 17, Appendix I. 

FLYING HOURS 

During FY 1969 the Air National Guard flew a total of 

415,953 hours. This included 227,813 hours in jet aircraft, 

162,305 hours in tactical non-jet aircraft and 25,835 in 

support aircraft. Achievement against the total flying hour 

program (429,100 hours) was 95.3 percent. The underfly 

occurred primarily in the fighter elements due to severity 

of the winter in some areas and fleet groundings for modification. Reduced utilization of the C-47 support aircraft 

accounted for approximately 5,746 underflown hours. In 

addition there were 6,540 hours flown which were reimbursed by Air Force for direct support of the following: 

Aeromedical Evacuation Airlift for MAC, 1,945 hours; Dart 

Tow for TAC, 1,771 hours: and C-121 training for ADC 

crews, 2,825 hours. 

The Air National Guard flying hour program for FY 

1969 underwent several revisions from the initial President's Budget estimate of 523,550 hours submitted in 

January 1968. These revisions resulted from OSD decisions, price increases, and program changes. Following is 

a summary of the actions which changed the ANG flying 

hour program during the fiscal year: 

The January and May 1968 mobilizations, plus some 

program changes in airlift, caused a net reduction of 71,-

472 hours which adjusted the President's Budget to 

452,078 hours. 

POL price increases occurring in January and March 

1969, (for which no additional funds were approved by 

OSD) as well as a more costly flying hour mix, accounted 

for a further reduction of 12,761 hours for a new total of 

439,317. 

An OSD Program Budget Decision (PBD 126) directed 

a 3 percent reduction in total flying hours which resulted 

in a 13,372 hour cut for a total of 425,945. 

Demobilization of the active duty units reinstated 

3,155 hours to the FY 1969 program for the final adjusted 

total of 429,100 hours. 

AEROSPACE DEFENSE 

COMMAND UNITS 

In FY 1969 the Air National Guard reached its peak in 

overall ability of supporting Aerospace Defense Command. 

North American Air Defense Command, and Pacific Air 

Forces. 

The number of units which were performing full-time 

jobs for the Air Force was reduced during the fiscal year 

from 22 to 19. Two fighter groups converted to tactical 

aircraft and were scheduled to be transferred to TAC early 

in FY 1970. The 162d Fighter Group (FG), Tucson, Arizona 

will convert to F-100's and the 132d FG. Des Moines, 

Iowa will convert to F-84's in FY 1970. The third unit, 

149th FG, San Antonio, Texas discontinued its ADC mission in June and will convert to F-84F aircraft in FY 1970. 

A wish of good luck in their new missions and a sincere 

thank you for past support were expressed by the Commander, ADC. 

For the first time in history the ANG/ADC force is 

fully F-102 equipped. The 101st FG, Bangor IAP. Maine 

converted to that aircraft after many years in the F-89. 

Another "first" occurred during the year with some units 

performing field training outside the continental limits'of 

the United States. A detachment of the 125th FG, Jacksonville, Florida went to Puerto Rico and the 163d FG, Ontario, California deployed to Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. 

Again this year ANG/ADC units filled in for ADC and 

NORAD with commendable performance. ANG pilots 

volunteered to assist in ferrying F-102's to Europe for the 

active Air Force. ANG/ADC units flew a total of 126,790 

hours in accomplishing many varied ADC exercises and 

stood alert for active ADC squadrons while they converted 

to new aircraft. ANG/ADC squadrons represent 55 percent 

of ADC's fighter force, and the F-102 unit located at 

Hickam AFB plays a major role in the defense of the State 

of Hawaii. 

Ninety-six combat-ready ANG pilots volunteered for 

short tours of active duty through a program called 

Palace Alert and provided the USAF with enough pilots to 

man more than one fighter squadron continuously throughout the year. These ANG volunteers fulfilled their responsibilities at 32d FIS, Soesterburg, Holland; 525 FIS, Bitburg, Germany; 526 FIS Ramstein, Germany; 317 FIS, 

Elmendorf, Alaska; 405 TFW, Clark AB, Philippines; 

596 FIS, Hahn, Germany; and the 82d FIS, Naha AB, 

Okinawa. Palace Alert is scheduled to continue throughout FY 1970. 

A total of 137 units (five fighter wings, 22 fighter 

groups, 22 fighter interceptor squadrons, and 88 support 

units) compose the ANG/ADC segment. OSD manpower 

limitations of 82 percent reduce the authorized strength 

of 20,529 to 16,834. This limitation lowers the manpower 

in a typical F-102 Fighter Group from 925 to 759 men. 

The average pilot spends about 210 days per year on 

some type of duty associated with the Air National Guard 

and flies about 135 hours per year in unit-equipped aircraft. Ground training for aircrews is identical to the active 

establishment. The flying training requirements are the 

same and the support in exercises is above the active unit 

participation. The Air Guard units train and practice for 

General Inspections, Tactical Evaluations, and Operational 

Ready Inspections. They also fly target missions for other 

Air Defense fighter interceptor units and use the Weapons 

Center at Tyndall AFB, Florida for missile firing. Life 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 45 
AIR NATIONAL GUARD FACILITIES AND ORGANIZATION - 30 JUNE 1969 

46 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
support training, which deals with survival of downed 

crews, is conducted at either Tyndall or at Perrin AFB, 

Texas. ADC units also fly special sorties for Air Force 

controller training. One of the little known activities of 

ADC units includes escorting, from a safe distance, airliners which have been hi-jacked to Cuba on that unscheduled portion of their journey. 

ANG units play a major role in public affairs. Many 

fighter groups have excellent programs designed to keep 

the public informed of all activities of interest. These 

groups strive to make the local community and the nation 

aware of the value of the Air National Guard. In working 

toward this goal, the units sponsor open houses, familyemployee days, orientation and field trips, as well as 

provide speakers for civic events and participation in 

other local activities. Flying formation flights on holidays 

and special occasions is another activity which plays a 

key role in the public affairs program at the local level. 

MILITARY AIRLIFT 

COMMAND UNITS 

As an important component of air strength, the ANG is 

included in all current war plans so it must maintain a 

high degree of operational readiness. ANG provides that 

force which has been successfully employed to influence 

the decision or outcome of past conflicts. This is as valid 

today in SEA as it was during World War II, Korea, the 

Berlin Contingency, and the Pueblo Crisis. 

The responsiveness to active force requirements has 

been constantly demonstrated since our involvement in 

Southeast Asia. In FY 1969 the Air National Guard units 

flew a total of 81,826.6 hours airlifting 24,359.6 tons of 

cargo and 86,416 passengers throughout CONUS and to 

various foreign countries. This accomplishment was completed in conjunction with and as a by-product of training 

missions. Within the past few years the Air National 

Guard has been transformed from its former standby status 

to one of a ready global force, fulfilling the operational 

exercise missions on a daily basis. 

The Guard/Reserve Forces have been utilized as an 

instrument of foreign policy in the past and undoubtedly 

will be in the future. Awareness of this fact has been a 

primary factor in the complete reorientation of the force 

composition. Two MAC units, the 106th Military Airlift 

Group, Brooklyn, New York and the 139th Military Airlift 

Group, St. Joseph, Missouri, converted to aerial refueling 

missions. Two others, the 105th Military Airlift Group, 

White Plains, New York and the 111th Military Airlift 

Group, Willow Grove NAS, Pennsylvania, accepted the 

new role of tactical air support. The conversion reduced 

the overall airlift capability of the ANG/MAC units, but 

the total number of missions flown continued to increase. 

The airlift units readily accept requests from various 

governmental agencies. Noteworthy among these is the 

support of operation BOMEX, a project which seeks to 

understand the complex interaction between sea and air 

which determines weather patterns. At the conclusion of 

this mission the ANG airlift units will have flown over 

3,000,000 ton-miles. The cost savings engendered by the 

Air National Guard's assumption of the many varied missions, as a by-product of training, are almost incalculable. 

The mission assignment of four ANG units in support 

of the Military Airlift Command's Aeromedical Evacuation System is of equal importance. During FY 1969 these 

units flew 435,571 nautical miles, transporting 2,321 

patients as well as 6,286 passengers. These live missions 

are a major milestone in the Air National Guard's progress toward assisting the active establishment in its daily 

operations and continue to further the "Ready Now" 

reputation of the Air National Guard. 

TACTICAL AIR COMMAND UNITS 

The ANG Tactical Forces performed in 10 JCS-directed 

exercises during FY 1969. Most of these exercises were 

conducted outside the continental limits of the United 

States. These ANG forces are under the operational control of Tactical Air Command during the exercise period 

and require extensive planning and coordination with 

refueling, airlift, and weather reconnaissance elements. 

Three exercises, Punch Card III, IV, and V, took place 

in Alaska in conjunction with Army maneuvers. The 

fighter aircraft forces gave close air support flying under 

simulated combat conditions. The 136th Air Refueling 

Group (ARG), Texas and 134th ARG, Tennessee provided 

refueling support for all phases on these exercises. The 

182d Tactical Fighter Group (TFG), Peoria, Illinois, participated in Punch Card 111 from 27 July to 4 August 1968; the 

178th TFG, Springfield, Ohio completed Punch Card IV 

during the period 4 to 8 November 1968; and the 179th 

TFG, Mansfield, Ohio participated 2 to 12 February 1969. 

Forest fires in Alaska required the assistance of Army 

personnel and forced cancellation of Punch Card VI in 

which the 192d TFG, Richmond, Virginia was scheduled 

to take part. 

Hawaii was host for Exercises Commando Elite / and 1/ 

in FY 1969. Six F-84's from the 180th TFG, Toledo, Ohio 

left on 16 September 1968, and returned on 22 October 

after taking part in Commando Elite I. Men of all three 

groups of the wing received training during the exercise 

on a rotation basis. 

Two groups, 102d TFG, Otis AFB, Massachusetts and 

104th TFG, Westfield, Massachusetts of the 102d TFW, 

took part in Commando Elite II. ANG/MAC airlift was 

used in rotating men during the exercise. Refueling to the 

West Coast and return to Massachusetts was supported by 

SAC KC-135 tankers. Refueling across the Pacific was 

handled by the 126th ARW, Chicago, Illinois. Both groups 

contributed further in exercise participation by providing 

attack forces to a NATO-initiated exercise, Silver Tower, 

during 20 to 22 September 1968. Sorties were flown from 

the respective home bases so deployment was not required. 

Three ANG fighter groups were involved in Deep 

Furrow 68, a NATO exercise conducted in Greece during 

20-24 August 1968. TAC/ANG provided AFSTRIKE forces 

consisting of 36 fighter aircraft. The 178th TFG, Springfield. Ohio and the 192d TFG, Richmond, Virginia each 

furnished twelve F-84's. The 108th TFG, McGuire AFB, 

New Jersey deployed twelve F-105's. These Air National 

Guard units supplied 316 sorties of direct air support 

during the joint training exercise involving Greek and 

American ground, naval, and air forces. 

Exotic Dancer II was held in the Caribbean area during 

20 May to 2 June 1969. The 156th TFG, Puerto Rico, participated in this exercise and twelve F-104's acted as the 

opposition force. An HU-16 of the 135th Special Operations Group (SOG), Baltimore, Maryland participated as a 

Special Assault Transport Aircraft. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 47 
The 12 7th TRG sent five RF-84's and support personnel 

to Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico to support exercise Bold Shot/ 

Brim/ire 2-69. An additional RF-84 and pilot from Ft. 

Smith, Arkansas were obtained when severe icing and 

weather conditions prevented a spare aircraft from leaving 

Detroit. The exercise took place during 8 to 13 January 

1969. 

Bold Shot/Brim/ire 3-69 took place in the Southern 

United States during 25 to 26 January and 12 to 14 February 1969. The 187th TRG, Montgomery, Alabama took 

part in this exercise. ANG fighter and reconnaissance units 

supported hundreds of minor events and exercises as a 

result of Army maneuvers in the CONUS, or because of 

airshows and demonstrations initiated by other commands. Units are alerted by either 9th Air Force or 12th 

Air Force, acting for TAC, to fulfill requirements. The 

fighter forces are usually called upon to provide close air 

support for firepower demonstrations. The reconnaissance 

effort is normally for aerial photography of Army maneuver areas or drop zones. These missions provide operational support to the requestor, and provide the ANG units 

with valuable training. 

Project Palace Hawk, a volunteer active duty tour 

project for F-100 pilots, was initiated in June 1969. At the 

request of USAF, seven F-100 pilots volunteered for active 

duty tours of from 90 to 139 days in Southeast Asia. The 

pilots are stationed at Bien Hoa, Tuy Hoa, and Phan Rang 

Air Bases, Republic of Vietnam. USAF indicated that the 

project might continue; however, no determination will be 

made until late fall 1969. 

Exercise Creek Party, which required five ANG KC-97L 

tankers in Europe on a continuing basis to provide refueling training for USAFE F-4's and F-100's, completed its 

second year on 1 May 1969. The 126th ARW, Chicago, 

Illinois and the 136th ARW, Dallas, Texas with their five 

assigned ARG's based in Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, 

Tennessee, and Texas have compiled impressive statistics 

during FY 1969. The tankers flew nearly 500 sorties, 

provided 4,207 refueling hookups, serviced 1,884 F-4's 

and 608 F-100's, and offloaded nearly 2,000,000 gallons 

of fuel. Again this year the number of aborts was extremely 

low, only six. 

48 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 

AEROSPACE SAFETY 

The Air National Guard completed FY 1969 with a rate of 

5.8 major accidents for each 100,000 hours flown, which is 

an increase above the 4.9 rate for the previous year. There 

is no clear-cut reason for the rise; however, the number of 

accidents which involved the landing or takeoff phase of 

flight rose from 10 to 14, and the percentage of pilot/supervisory factor mishaps increased from 43 percent to 58 percent of the totals. The increase is even more significant 

because a number of units equipped with high risk aircraft 

such as F-100, RF-101, and F-86 were on active duty for 

most of the period. This indicates a need to increase the 

emphasis on high standards of supervision, performance, 

and air discipline while we try to provide a better operational environment by improving the airfield facilities. 

Unit Safety Officers participated in an Air National 

Guard Safety Seminar at Norton Air Force Base, California 

in August. The seminar, hosted by the Directorate of Aerospace Safety, USAF, was most productive in that many 

safety problems were discussed and recommendations for 

corrective action were initiated. The first four classes of 

the ANG Command and Safety Orientation Course at 

University of Southern California were attended by 95 key 

officers. The course was designed to acquaint commanders, operations supervisors, and flying training instructors 

with sound accident prevention tools and techniques. It 

was favorably critiqued by attendees as a useful vehicle to 

enhance accident prevention efforts. Sixty Air National 

Guardsmen attended the two-week ANG Ground Safety 

Officers' Course at the California Institute of Technology. 

This was the second year for this course specifically 

tailored for Air National Guard units. 

With the advent of Civil Service status for Air Technicians, Air National Guard employees now have access 

to major aircraft accident reports and, more important, 

can participate on accident investigating boards. The 

high degree of expertise available in our units, particularly 

in the case of weapons systems no longer in the Air Force 

inventory, can be used without restriction. Simultaneously, 

Air National Guard personnel can be trained in accident 

investigation techniques in a "real time" learning situation. 

Two Air National Guard units were recipients of USAF 

safety awards for their outstanding records in calendar 

year 1968. They were the 119th Fighter Group, Fargo, 

North Dakota for Flying Safety and the 142d Fighter Group, 

Portland, Oregon for Missile Safety. 
COMMUNICATIONSELECTRONICS 

AND WEATHER 

COMMUNICATIONS UNITS CAFCS) 

Organization 

No new organizations were activated in the Mobile Comm 

Groups during FY 1969; however, the five units activated 

in Hawaii in 1968 which were reported in the FY 1968 

report have progressed to a "satisfactory" status to perform 

their wartime mission. This was confirmed by the annual 

Federal Inspection report performed by Pacific Communications Area personnel during the period 3 to 6 May 1969. 

This is outstanding progress in a new mission for those 

units. 

Equipping 

Fiscal Year 1969 produced good results in the equipping 

programs for the Mobile Communications Groups and 

subordinate units. USAF is adding a portion of our requirements for Single Side Band equipment. Tactical 

Teletype Centrals, Technical Control Facilities, and other 

miscellaneous items of much needed Communications 

and Electronics equipment to existing Air Force contracts. 

During FY 1969, contracts were also consummated to 

buy 14 TACAN sets and eight Tactical Communications 

Centrals from prior year funds. Those items should be 

delivered to ANG units within the next year. The contracts were under negotiation at the close of FY 1968 and 

were mentioned in the FY 1968 Annual Report. 

In addition to the new equipment on procurement, 

the Mobile Comm Squadrons (Contingency) are in the 

process of constructing a standard Technical Control 

Facility at their home stations. Although nine are being 

procured for higher priority units (Bare Base) as mentioned above, the Contingency Squadrons will build their 

own and have them available years ahead of the programming and procurement cycle. Obviously, the "homemade" 

units will not have the full capability of the Air Force 

procured item, but they will satisfy the training requirements at a much lower cost and will be available and usable, 

with reduced capability in the event of mobilization. 

Also as a part of the "self-help" program in the ANG 

Comm units, our Mobile Comm Squadrons (Bare Base) are 

modifying obsolete Air Force equipment by removing low 

power Frequency Modulated (FM) equipment from mobile 

tactical vans and replacing it with higher powered equipment with increased communications channel capability. 

These projects were completely standardized by having a 

prototype built by one unit, and then refined and approved 

by Air Force Communications Service and the NGB. Plans 

were reproduced and approved by Air Force Communications Service and the NGB and provided to all units concerned, along with funds required. 

The combination of "self-help" programs and equipment-buy programs is gradually paying off in increased 

training facilities and operational capability in event of 

mobilization. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 49 
Training 

The Mobile Comm Groups and all subordinate organizations conducted Annual Field Training (AFT) in a joint 

exercise, Guard Strike II, with ANG Tactical Control 

Groups, and other ANG support organizations covering a 

30-day period in July and August 1968. Units deployed 

four complete Tactical Air Support Systems (TACS) under 

full field conditions with flying support provided by ANG 

units. This exercise provided an unexcelled training program for tying together all command and control elements 

necessary for an Air Force Component Commander to 

carry out tactical offensi ve and defensive operations. The 

TACS provide communications and electronics facilities 

to subordinate units, lateral organizations and entry into 

the Defense Communications System with its worldwide 

facilities. Guard Strike U was unconditionally an outstanding success. 

The training program, arranged with FAA in 1964 

whereby ANG controllers train on a regular basis in FAA 

towers, continues to be a very beneficial arrangement for 

both FAA and the ANG. We are hopeful that we can expand this program by authorizing additional training mandays to ANG controllers to increase and maintain proficiency in this career field where critical shortages now 

exist in USAF. 

The one Special Communications Squadron is located 

and trains at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. This unit continues 

to provide excellent assistance to USAF in the operation 

of an essential Air Force facility and at the same time realizes unequaled training for ANG personnel. 

FIXED AIRCRAFT CONTROL 

& WARNING SQUADRONS 

The 140th AC&W Squadron in Puerto Rico and the 150th 

and 169th AC&W Squadrons in Hawaii continue to provide air defense facilities and services for their respective 

gaining commands, ANTDEFCOM (TAC) and PACAF. 

Training capability of Puerto Rico's 140th Squadron 

was significantly improved with the initiation of the 

Systems Training Program at Detachment No. 1, located at 

Ramey AFB. This program, operated in conjunction with 

the main site at Punta Salinas, employs radar simulation 

equipment to exercise the Air Defense System in a synthetic wartime environment. 

In addition to fulfilling their full-time air defense 

mission responsibilities, the Hawaii AC&W Squadrons 

are providing requalification/proficiency training for 

active duty weapons controllers assigned to PACAF. This 

program was initiated in FY 1968, at the request of PACAF, 

to support SEA requirements. 

There were no major organizational changes affecting 

the fixed AC&W units during the past fiscal year. Fiscal 

Year 1969 saw improvements in equipping of the Puerto 

Rico and Hawaii forces. 

In Puerto Rico, the search radar at the Punta Salinas 

site was replaced with a higher performance set. The new 

radar (AN/FPS-67) was obtained from a deactivated ADC 

CONUS site. Dismantling, airlift, and installation in Puerto 

Rico were accomplished by ANG forces. 

Hawaii's Mount Kaala radar site was improved by the 

addition of a second height finder. The AN/FPS-6 radar 

will provide height finding coverage for a previous "blind" 

area as well as expanding total radar capability. 

TACTICAL CONTROL GROUPS 

During FY 1969, the high point of activity for the 152d and 

157th Tactical Control Groups was their participation in 

Exercise Guard Strike II. During July and August 1968, the 

groups deployed their forces to become elements of the 

two ANG Tactical Air Control Systems which were established in the East and Midwest for the largest all-National 

Guard exercise ever staged. Guard Strike II proved to be 

one of the most difficult, but rewarding, field training 

efforts ever undertaken by the tactical control groups. 

In the early part of the fiscal year, New England tactical 

control units participated with Massachusetts-based 

Marine Air Reserve elements in mutually beneficial training exercises. The tactical control units provided radar 

and ground support for Marine operations at the No Man's 

Land Island bombing and gunnery range, off the coast of 

Martha's Vineyard. These exercises provided an excellent 

training vehicle for operations personnel of the units 

involved. 

The new ANG Tactical Air Support Groups have assumed the mission of the tactical control groups' Direct 

Air Support Squadrons. As FY 1969 ended, USAF approval to convert the squadrons to another mission was 

expected. It is anticipated that they will convert to Forward Air Control Post (FACP) Squadrons in the first 

quarter of FY 1970. In their new role, these squadrons will 

augment the tactical radar systems with lightweight, highly 

mobile elements for employment in forward operating 

areas. 

50 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
Equipment status of the tactical control units is at an 

all-time high. Most of the equipment approved for procurement has been delivered. Some three-dimensional 

radars should become available within the next year. 

Further improvement in status of equipment is anticipated 

at that time. 

ANG GEEIA SQUADRONS 

The past year was an important one for the entire ANG 

Ground Electronics Engineering Installation Agency 

(GEEIA) program. Two new squadrons, the 130th at Salt 

Lake City, Utah and the 138th at Greeley, Colorado, were 

added to the program to bring the total of ANG units, for 

which AFLC/GEEIA is the gaining command, to 19. Both 

of the new squadrons were former Fixed AC&W units. 

During the year AFLC asked the NGB to provide ANG 

volunteers to augment the Pacific GEEIA Region through 

30 June 1969, as the Communications Electronics Meteorology (CEM) workload exceeded their organic capability. 

Over 300 ANG personnel volunteered for over 9,000 mandays with periods of active duty from 31 to 89 days. ANG/-

GEEIA personnel were located at Hickam AFB, Hawaii; 

Kadena AB, Okinawa; Tachikawa AB, Japan; and Clark 

AB in the Philippine Islands. 

Comments from the Commander, Pacific GEEIA Region, 

were favorable concerning the work accomplished by the 

Air National Guardsmen. At the same time, our personnel 

received invaluable training while actually performing 

duties and utilizing skills currently needed by the regular 

forces. 

The use of ANG/GEEIA personnel to augment the 

active personnel as in Project Fast Race in France in 1966-

1967, and this last year in the Pacific area, indicates 

probable requests for such assistance in the future. It is 

understood that the AFLC/GEEIA will ask for an extension 

of the Pacific GEEIA Project for at least another year. 

WEATHER UNITS 

Seven Weather Flights returned from active duty status 

after providing augmentation to AWS units worldwide. 

Eleven flights provided support to AWS by performing 

their annual field training at active Air Force locations. 

Thirteen flights provided complete weather services to 

ANG flying units during field training exercises, and seven 

flights provided support to ARNG priority divisions at 

Army training locations. 

Eight ANG forecasting officers participated in 30 days 

of reconnaissance weather flying in support of meteorological research in the Caribbean area for the Barbados 

experiment. Purpose of the studies was to provide data on 

the joint behavior and interactions of the atmosphereocean system in tropical waters for the Global Atmospheric Research Program. 

NAVIGATION AIDS 

The ANG continued to operate and maintain Tactical Air 

Navigation (TACAN) equipment at six ANG locations' 

which provide navigational assistance and safety of flight 

operations in support of ANG missions and to civil aviation. 

BASE COMMUNICATIONS 

AUTOVON (Automatic Voice Network): Installation of 

common user AUTOVON services to the ANG was completed, including those ANG units which were called to 

active duty for the Pueblo Crisis and have returned to 

home station. A new program upgrading present AUTOVON service and extending through FY 1972, has been 

submitted to Hq USAF for approval. 

AUTODIN (Automatic Data Network): Data communications for the ANG were increased from three test sites to 

eight, includingtwoUSAF communications refile stations. 

Equipment and services on test will become the ANG 

interim data communications system. Hq USAF and AFCS 

have received the NGB plan for the final AUTODIN service 

and equipment, Digital Subscriber Terminal Equipment 

(DSTE), with the request that a Communications Electronic Implementation Plan be written to provide DSTE/-

AUTODIN service to the ANG. 

CRYPTO: ANG Cryptographic facilities at selected 

ADC, MAC, and TAC gaining bases are in various stages 

of construction with several locations completed. The 

locations with completed facilities are awaiting active 

USAF/GEEIA installation of the Crypto accounts. A fulltime air technician crypto custodian has been authorized 

to those bases where an account has been established. 

Communications Flights (Support): A new Comm Fit 

(Spt), the 176th, was recently activated at Kulis ANG Base, 

Anchorage, Alaska. This new flight provides the State of 

Alaska and Alaska Communications Region with their 

first ANG communications unit. Input was made by NGB 

to AFCS for an AFCS-proposed reorganization of the ANG 

Comm Fit (Spt). 

Talking Bird: The ANG C-97E Talking Bird aircraft 

participated in four deployments in support of the U. S. 

Air Force.

AIR SYSTEMS 

AND LOGISTICS 

SUPPLY AND SERVICES 

In order to maintain a high standard of equippage in the 

ANG. equipment authorization reviews were conducted 

jointly by the National Guard Bureau, Air Force Logistics 

Command, and the respective gaining commands. These 

reviews had representation from ANG units to assure the 

base level points of view were known. Special emphasis 

was placed on the mobilization and deployment requirements of the gaining commands. 

Survival radios (ACR/RT-10) which were in critically 

short supply have now been programmed for the ANG. 

Information indicates that deliveries of these radios will 

be made by October 1969. 

Equipment surveys of the ANG are conducted by the 

gaining commands' equipment survey teams. During this 

year, however, some gaining commands reduced their 

survey schedules due to personnel and funding limitations. The surveys that were conducted have been very 

satisfactory and beneficial for both the ANG units and the 

gaining commands. 

Joint efforts between the NGB and Air Force resulted in 

the orderly return of equipment of those ANG units which 

were demobilized during FY 1969. However, recently demobilized units do have some equipment shortages. These 

shortages are now being identified by the units and aggressive action is being taken to obtain the necessary items. 

The AF stock fund has been expanded to include all 

system support items. So that all units can maintain a 

"Ready Now" position, increased emphasis is being placed 

on the management of supply dollars. To provide this 

additional management aspect, a Supply Requirements 

and Resources Review Panel comprised of representatives 

from ANG units representing each gaining command was 

established. The ANG S-105 and S-4 reports underwent 

complete overhaul. The changes will effectively depict the 

actual inventory position and fund requirements to meet 

mission demands. These reports are analyzed in depth by 

the Review Panel semiannually. Their recommendations 

are considered in distribution of base allocations and 

budget and financial submission to Department of Defense and Congress. 

The National Guard Bureau proposal for a Monetary 

Clothing System for the Guard/Reserve Forces was reaccomplished. The same method of computing a monetary 

allowance was employed as is used by the active Air 

Force. The new proposal includes a clothing allowance 

for each drill/active duty day in which the member actually participates, instead of a standard monthly rate. The 

study was submitted to the Air Staff in April 1969 and in 

May 1969 was forwarded to Hq AFRES for review and 

concurrence. 

Headquarters USAF is working with the major commands to purify NORS (not operationally ready supply) 

reporting procedures. An all command conference was 

held at Hq USAF in May 1969 and it concluded that the 

present system needs a complete overhaul. 

An improved procedure suggested by the Air Staff to 

reflect an accurate operationally ready status was accepted 

and will be implemented in the near future. 

While some of our newer mission aircraft were experiencing fairly high NORS rates at the beginning of FY 1969, 

the rates have gradually declined so that the fleet yearly 

average at the end of FY 1969 was 2.9 percent. This indicates that supply support received from AFLC AMA's is 

generally satisfactory. 

The Annual Airmunitions Report, RCS: ANG S-3, was 

mechanized for the first time in December 1968. In so 

doing, it reduced manhours in its preparation by the ANG 

activities and consolidation time at the National Guard 

Bureau was also reduced. 

VEHICLES 

Normally 800 to 1,200 new vehicles enter the ANG inventory each fiscal year. Due to funds austerity, only 340 

vehicles were allocated to the ANG in FY 1969. However, 

480 M-35 2y2-ton cargo trucks purchased from FY 1968 

funds were received during FY 1969. Delivery of those 

52 • FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT 
trucks greatly improved the vehicle fleets of ANG tactical 

control and communications units. Vehicle allowances for 

tactical control and communications units remained under 

intense study in order to align them with the new mission 

requirements of these units. 

PROPULSION SYSTEMS 

Action was taken late in FY 1969 to establish a repair 

facility at Clinton County AFB to condition jet engines 

used by seven ANG KC-97L units. The tanker units obtain 

jet engines from aircraft stored at Davis-Monthan AFB. 

Although this source of supply results in dollar savings 

vis-a-vis overhaul of engines, inspection and minor repair 

are required to assure serviceability before installation. 

The production schedule for the ANG-operated facility 

will be six engines a month and the work will be performed by a 13-man contract field team. The facility is in 

a centralized location which will conserve transportation 

funds. 

Negotiations with Hq MAC were underway in the 

latter part of FY 1969 to establish a primary supply point 

at the ANG unit located at Dobbins AFB, Georgia. This 

supply point would pre-position C-124 spare parts and 

built-up engines at seven forward supply points in the 

European Theater to support ANG, MAC, and AFRES 

flights in that area. Engine build-up and repair of other 

selected components will be accomplished by a contract 

field team at the Dobbins location. 

MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING 

During FY 1969, depot level maintenance programs were 

accomplished on forty-five C-124 aircraft, twenty-one 

C-121's, forty-nine F-102's, nine F-105's, twelve DC-97's, 

twenty F-100's, and thirteen C-54's. These aircraft were 

all processed through contract facilities except the F-100's 

which were worked at an AFLC depot. 

The on-base Inspection and Repair as Necessary (IRAN) 

by contract field team (CFT) was continued this fiscal 

year on RB-57's, F/RF-84's, F-104's, and C-123's. Thirty 

RB-57's, eighty-threeF-84's,four F-104's, and eight C-123's 

were completed. Emphasis was placed on potential trouble 

areas; nondestructive inspection procedures were used 

where applicable. The central facility at Birmingham, Alabama continued the IRAN and rework of F/RF-84 aircraft 

that were assigned to the ANG from oversea locations. 

During the year, a special program was initiated at the 

ANG facility at Lincoln, Nebraska to repair and replace 

F-84 downlock ribs. Work on 114 aircraft was performed 

by a contract field team and personnel of the 155th Tactical Reconnaissance Group. This program will be contiriued 

in FY 1970. A central facility for the IRAN of T-33 aircraft 

with field maintenance on the J-33 engine was located at 

Meridian, Mississippi. Twenty-six T-33 IRAN'S were accomplished by the contract field team. Concurrently with 

the IRAN of the C-123's at Anchorage, Alaska, the 176th 

Tactical Airlift Group successfully repaired aC-123 which 

had been extensively damaged while on a special mission. 

Twenty-one F-105's received extensive wing spar cap 

repairs/replacement at the factory in Farmingdale, New 

York. 

With the return of the F-86's from active duty, a 

Minimum Essential Depot Level Maintenance (MEDLM) 

program was initiated at the 174th Tactical Fighter Group, 

Syracuse, New York and the 175th Tactical Fighter Group, 

Baltimore, Maryland. 

AIRCRAFT INVENTORY 

The Air National Guard-assigned aircraft inventory totaled 

1,703 on 30 )une 1969 compared to 1,430 on 30 June 1968. 

The increase of 273 is due primarily to return of the F-86, 

F-100, and RF-101 mobilized units to State status. 

During this fiscal year, the Air Guard provided fortyfour F/TF-102's to a Military Assistance Program (MAP) 

project. Most of the aircraft were from four units. The 

conversion of an F-102 unit made available aircraft for 

transfer to alleviate the shortage of aircraft in the four 

units. One unit lost its F-89J aircraft due to conversion. 

Seven of these aircraft were delivered to the Navy at China 

Lake, California for testing to destruction and the remaining 12 were delivered to the storage center, Davis-Monthan 

AFB, Arizona. In addition, eight F-89J's were delivered by 

101st Fighter Group, Bangor, Maine to Patuxent River 

Naval Air Station for testing to destruction by the Naval 

Weapons Laboratory, Dahlgren, Virginia. At the end of this 

fiscal year, the Air Guard had a total of eight F-89) aircraft 

assigned. 

During this time, three units (two military airlift groups 

and one tactical fighter group) converted to a tactical air 

support mission. These units were assigned U-3A/B aircraft, a Cessna low-wing monoplane. 

The 151st Military Airlift Group, Salt Lake City, Utah 

converted from C-97G's to C-124's, making a total of ten 

units now assigned larger cargo capability aircraft.

CIVIL ENGINEERING 

MAJOR CONSTRUCTION (P 321) 

As in FY's 1967 and 1968, the FY 1969 Air National Guard 

Military Construction Program (MCP) was limited by requirements of the Southeast Asia situation and ANG construction met only minimum requirements. Thirty-six 

projects in 20 States were approved. In addition, 11 projects in seven States were approved from prior year 

programs. 

Funds authorized and appropriated for the FY 1969 

MCP totaled $7.7 million. As of 30 June 1969, a total of 

$9.3 million had been obligated on major construction 

projects. This figure included funds obligated from both 

current and prior fiscal years. 

Approximately $1.2 million was awarded on major 

construction projects at General Billy Mitchell Airport, 

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Completion of these facilities will 

allow the ANG to vacate facilities which are city-owned so 

they can revert back to use by the city. 

As of 30 June 1969, approximately $3.1 million from 

FY 1969 and prior years was set aside for critical projects 

under design with contract award dates scheduled for the 

first and second quarters of FY 1970. 

PLANNING CP 313) AND 

MINOR CONSTRUCTION (P 341) 

In addition to the $7.7 million authorization for major 

construction, an additional $600,000 was made available 

to the ANG for planning and minor construction. Funds in 

the amount of $500,000 were made available for planning. 

Utilizing all available residual planning funds from prior 

years and the current year's authorization, a total of $890,-

000 was obligated or committed as of 30 June 1969. Sixtyfive thousand dollars was obligated for minor construction 

during FY 1969. 

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND 

MINOR CONSTRUCTION (P 449) 

The P 449 budget for FY 1969 was $6.1 million. This 

amount included a special USAF project of $1.6 million 

for runway and taxiway repairs at Gulfport PFTS, Mississippi. The remaining $4.5 million was used to satisfy 

needs in real property, maintenance, repair and minor 

construction at all ANG bases. 

PROJECT DESIGN 

Major construction projects totaling $15.1 million were 

placed under design during FY 1969. Planning funds 

made available to the Air National Guard totaled only 

$500,000. Design costs usually vary between 5 percent and 
12 percent of project cost when the Corps of Engineers or 

the Navy act as the design agency. 

REAL ESTATE 

The total value of real estate administered by the ANG as 

of 30 June 1969 was $370 million. This included a total of 

90 flying bases and 50 nonflying bases. Sixty-nine of the 

ANG bases share facilities with civilian activities on State, 

municipal and county airports. Fourteen are located on 

active USAF bases and four on Naval Air Stations. The 

remaining three are ANG bases. 

OPERATIONS AND 

MAINTENANCE 

The daily operation and maintenance of ANG facilities is 

provided through an O&M Agreement between the Federal 

government and the various States. Utilities, communications, maintenance, use agreements, and security are 

supported under the terms of the agreements. The Federal 

share of the costs of these functions in FY 1969 was $12.1 

million. 

CIVIL ENGINEER 

LIAISON OFFICERS 

During FY 1969, four ANG Liaison Officer positions were 

authorized for ANG Civil Engineer Officers in the grade of 

Lt. Colonel. One position is to be located in each Air Force 

Regional Civil Engineer (AFRCE) office at Dallas, Atlanta 

and San Francisco. The fourth position is at the Civil 

Engineer Center, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The position in each AFRCE office will be utilized to provide closer 

liaison with ANG bases in each region and to monitor 

military construction programming, project design, and 

construction. It is anticipated that these officers will have 

a favorable impact on the ANG construction program. The 

officer assigned to the Civil Engineer Center will be concerned with monitoring regulations, equipment and 

various new publications regarding applicability to ANG 

Civil Engineer units. 

RELOCATION OF 

MASSACHUSETTS ANG UNITS 

FROM LOGAN IAP TO OTIS AFB 

The State-owned facilities occupied by the Massachusetts 

ANG at Logan IAP were sold to the Logan Airport authority 

to provide for airport expansion. The funds received from 

the sale are being used to construct new ANG facilities at 

Otis AFB. The new site for the 102d TFW, Massachusetts 

ANG, is adjacent to the ANG Field Training Site at Otis 

AFB. The 102d is occupying temporary buildings pending 

completion of the new facilities.

APPENDIX F 

REVISIONS, CHANGES AND 

NEW REGULATIONS PUBLISHED 

DURING FISCAL YEAR 1969 

ARMY NATIONAL GUARD 

Aviation 

NGR 95 (Army Aviation —General Provisions) was revised 

to reflect a new concept in the organization and operation 

of the ARNG Aviation Program. It defines and indicates the 

responsibilities of an Army Aviation Support Facility, an 

Army Aviation Flight Activity and the commanders thereof, and of the State Aviation Officer. Also, it includes new 

procedures for procurement of aviation fuels and lubricants and establishes requirements for an initial aircraft 

accident/incident report and for an Indirect Support Aircraft Report. This regulation designates individuals who 

may be carried as passengers in ARNG aircraft. 

NGR 95-1 (Selection and Processing of Applicants for 

Training or Designation as Army Aviators). This regulation was revised to include the procedures pertaining to 

the selection of ARNG personnel for initial flight training 

in fixed or rotary wing aircraft and to the awarding of the 

aeronautical designation and/or issuance of flying status 

for former military aviators. 

NGR 95-3 (Utilization of Additional Flight Training Periods for ARNG Aviators and Crewmembers). This regulation was revised to add a provision that requires a 

designated officer (aviator) and necessary maintenance 

technicians to be on duty to support all scheduled additional flight training periods. 

NGR 96 (Army Aircraft Inventory, Status, and Flying 

Ti me —Reports Control Symbol AMC-130). This is a new 

regulation which was developed to prescribe procedures 

for reporting statistical data pertinent to the inventory, 

assignment, status, flying time, and landings of all aircraft assigned to the Army National Guard, and to outline 

procedures for reporting maintenance, manhour and repair 

parts expenditures associated with the operational readiness condition of all assigned aircraft. 

Commissioned and Warrant Officers 

NGR 20-1 (Appointment, Assignment, and Transfer) was 

changed to provide for the assignment of chaplains to 

Army National Guard units one grade over the authorized 

TOE/TDA position. This change brings this regulation into 

consonance with the policy for assignment of chaplains in 

the USAR as prescribed in AR 140-10. 

NGR 20-2 (Federal Recognition). A change to this regulation announced the new policy (effective 21 April 1969) 

directed by the Department of Defense pertaining to the 

effective date of appointment or promotion, of drawing 

pay, and of assuming rank to and within general officer 

grades in the Army and Air National Guard. This policy in 

effect discontinues the practice of extending temporary 

Federal recognition and delays permanent recognition, 

with concurrent Reserve of the Army appointment, until 

confirmation by the Senate, if vacancies exist within the 

statutory limitations, or if no vacancies exist at the time 

nomination is confirmed by the Senate, on the date such 

vacancies occur. 

NGR 20-4 (Termination of Appointment and Withdrawal 

of Federal Recognition). The revision of this regulation 

was necessitated by the enactment of Public Law 90-486 

(National Guard Technician Act) which was effective on 

1 January 1969. Major changes: (1) Provide for termination 

of State appointments under State regulations as well as 

State laws; (2) Permit retention of USPFO until the end of 

the month in which they reach age 60 as opposed to age 

60; (3) Stipulate that the Chief, National Guard Bureau 

may authorize retention of officers assigned to Selective 

Service Sections up to age 60; and (4) Permit officer technicians to be retained until the end of the month in which 

they reach age 60, regardless of unit of assignment, subject to certain limitations, such as, attainment of eligibility for an immediate annuity under the Civil Service Retirement System or State retirement system for those 

technicians who elected to continue membership therein; 

termination of declination for promotion; and removal 

because of having twice failed of selection for promotion, 

cause or physical disability. 

NGR 20-6 (Efficiency and Physical Fitness Boards) was 

revised to: (1) Prescribe new criteria and procedures for 

determining the capacity and general fitness of commissioned and warrant officers for continued Federal recognition in the Army National Guard: (2) Require the establishment of a board of officers under provisions of AR 

15-6 to determine whether an individual should be retained; (3) Add conditions which constitute substandard 

performance of duty which ultimately results in withdrawal of Federal recognition from an officer; (4) Provides 

procedures for processing of actions for withdrawal of 

Federal recognition. Further, a change was processed to 

this regulation which clarified the procedures under 

which an Army National Guard officer would be permitted 

to submit his resignation in lieu of instituting proceedings 

for withdrawal of Federal recognition. 

NGR 20-8 (Selective Retention). This is a new regulation 

which was developed to provide criteria and procedures 

for removal of those commissioned and warrant officers 

with over 20 years of qualifying service whose retention 

value is limited as determined by a board of officers. 

FY 1969 ANNUAL REPORT • 65 
NGR 21-1 (Qualification Record - Officers and Warrant

changed to provide for appointment in grade of Chief

personnel arc participating in the REP Program or attending active Army service schools and the State Adjutants 

General in all other cases.

USAR.
