SECTION III
PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND SPECIAL ACTIVITIES
The Public Affairs Section is responsible for the internal and
external public relations and public information programs of
the North Carolina National Guard.
The programs are designed primarily to: inform the general
public and the troops of matters affecting the Guard, Guards-
men and their families ; to explain the Guard's dual mission as
a State militia and a reserve force for the active services; and
to provide liaison with local communities to effect close support
between the unit and community.
During the period of this report, the National Guard was the
object of nationwide attention much of which was due to an un-
favo-able press. (Fortunately, with few exceptions, this has
not been true in North Carolina.) Of the many reasons for this
unfavorable national press, those receiving considerable atten-
tion were: increased draft quotas without first ordering the
Guard for duty in Vietnam; handling of civil disorders in the
nation's cities and on college and university campuses ; citing the
Guard as ill equipped, untrained and undisciplined troops; and
the lack of minority races in the Guard.
With few exceptions, the North Carolina press did not depict
the Tar Heel Guard in the light generally portrayed by the na-
tional press. In fact, the North Carolina press, for the most part,
has been highly cooperative in working with this section as well
as unit representatives in "telling it like it is." This section also
has worked closely with media personnel so they could accurate-
ly inform the reading public, listening and viewing audiences on
North Carolina National Guard matters.
Public Affairs activities encompassed a wide area of activity
during the biennium. The following are some of the more spe-
cialized areas of activity.
a. Annual Training FY 1969 and FY 1970 : News media in-
vited to attend summer encampments, news releases pertaining
to all training periods sent prior, during and after the training
periods;
b. Natural disasters and civil disorders : News media person-
nel were kept advised of National Guard missions, progress and
10
Report of The Adjutant General 11
results as pertained to natural disasters; on civil disorder mis-
sions, teams of Guard professionals in the information field
were dispatched to the disorder site where they conducted twice-
daily news conferences, escorted media personnel during the cri-
sis, assisted in troop information procedures, and released news
regarding the mission's activities ;
c. North Carolina Military Academy Officer Candidate
School: Feature articles regarding Guardsmen, condidates and
the school in general were distributed to the media, photogra-
phic support of all Officer Candidate School activities was pro-
vided and selected media personnel were invited to attend grad-
uation and commissioning exercises;
d. Armed Forces Day and Veterans' Day: Assisted National
Guard units in coordinating community activities ;
e. Pamphlets for employers of North Carolina Guards-
men : Designed, printed and distributed special pamphlets
which explained the missions of the Guard and Guardsmen's
responsibility;
f . Special ceremonies : Provided news releases and photo-

k. Publications support: Supported The Tar Heel Guardsman,
a magazine published by the North Carolina National Guard As-
sociation, by supplying the editor with approximately 50 7^^ of
12 Report of The Adjutant General
each issue's copy and photographs. Also furnished copy and pho-
tographs to The National Guardsman, the official publication of
the National Guard Association of the United States, and various
other publications ;
1. Tours : Planned and coordinated visits to Raleigh and
the North Carolina National Guard Center by allied nations' offi-
cers studying at the John F. Kennedy Center for Special War-
fare at Fort Bragg. These tours included visits to the Legisla-
tive Building, Museum of Art, North Carolina Supreme Court,
Governor's Office, television stations, and other businesses. This
activity resulted in the Section v^inning an Adjutants General
Association of the United States Public Relations trophy, "The
Minuteman Mike Av^ard," in the community service category;
m. Television and radio tapes : Made several special feature
tapes and distributed them to the media ;
n. Printed materials : Special retirement certificates are pre-

SECTION V
ARMORY COMMISSION AND CONSTRUCTION
The North Carolina Armory Commission, constituted under
the authority of Article 23, Section 143-230, General Statutes of
North Carolina, is charged with the responsibility for the Nation-
al Guard construction program including the construction
of new armories and the maintenance and modernization of the
existing facilities. The Commission consists of five members in-
cluding the Governor, The Adjutant General, The Attorney Gen-
eral and two Federally recognized officers of the North Carolina
National Guard appointed by the Governor. The present ap-
pointed members are Major General Daniel K. Edwards and
Brigadier General William M. Buck.
State appropriations to maintain existing facilities and to pay
a portion of the cost of armories supported with Federal aid are
made to this Commission.
During the period 1 July 1968 through 30 June 1970, one new
armory was completed and occupied and construction contracts
were awarded for three armories. Federal funds were allocated
and contracts executed for design of an Organizational Mainte-
nance Shop to be constructed in Raleigh during Fiscal Year 71.
Also, during this period, numerous repairs and renovations were
made to a number of facilities.
At the present time the Armory Commission real estate in-
ventory includes 152 buildings for which there is a direct re-
sponsibility for maintenance. This figure includes facilities
which are State owned, leased and under license from the Fed-
eral Government. Major repairs and renovations are being ac-
complished by independent contractors and minor repairs and
maintenance services are being provided by the Maintenance
Branch of the Engineering and Facilities Division, Adjutant
General's Department. A substantial savings in funds is being
realized by providing organic maintenance services and it is an-
ticipated that these savings will increase as the maintenance
program expands.
The following is a tabulation of projects under contracts or
completed during the period for which the report is made. An
indication is given of the amount of State funds mvolved in the
new construction projects :

C. Army Service and Area Schools
Officers and enlisted men of the North Carolina Army Nation-
al Guard continue professional improvement by attending courses
of instruction offered by United States Army Service Schools and
Third United States Army Area Schools. During this report
643 officers and 115 enlisted men attended courses at these
schools.
For the first time since 1962 spaces were made available to
National Guard personnel to attend aviation qualification
courses. During fiscal year 1970 twelve (12) officers and one (1)
enlisted man attended the Officer/Warrant Officer Rotary Wing
Aviator Course.

Report of The Adjutant General
During the spring of 1970 a Mechanized Platoon Leader
Course was conducted by the 30th Infantry Division (MECH)
at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The course was conducted on
four weekends. Sixty lieutenants attended the course.
D. Reserve Enlisted Program
This program, commonly referred to as The Six-Months
Training Program or The Reserve Enlisted Program '63, pro-
vides that all individuals entering the Army National Guard
without prior military service participate in an active duty for
training status with the Active Army for the purpose of basic
and specialist training. Individuals must participate in this pro-
gram for a minimum period of 120 days ; the total time being en-
tirely dependent upon the type of training required by individ-
ual's assignment. This program provides two basic advantages
for the National Guard in that it affords excellent training of an
individual in the initial phase of his military career and relieves
the National Guard units of the additional burden in time and
man power to conduct this training. During the fiscal year 1969,
a total of 695 individuals entered this program and during fiscal
year 1970, a total of 2,308. A total of 3,003 were trained during
the reporting period.
E. North Carolina Military Academy
The North Carolina Military Academy was established in
1958 and remains in operation at Fort Bragg, N. C.
In August 1968, ninety two (92) members of Officer Candi-
date Class Number Ten (10) graduated and were commissioned

24 Report of The Adjutant General
The NCO Leadership School which was organized as an inte-
gral part of the Academy in 1960 continues to provide the State
with trained personnel. NCO Class Numbers 5, 6, and 7 gradu-
ated a combined total of 153 students.
It is anticipated that the Officer Candidate School will con-
tinue its present programs. The initial class size will be made to
conform with the projected requirements for junior officers in
the North Carolina Army National Guard.
F. Annual General Inspections
In accordance with the provisions of Section 105, Title 32,
United States Code, general inspections of all units of the Army
National Guard are conducted annually by the Inspector Gen-
eral's Department, Headquarters Third United States Army,
Fort McPherson, Georgia.
The purpose of these inspections is to determine whether :
1. Units are organized as prescribed and minimum strength
requirements are being maintained.
2. Personnel possess the prescribed qualifications.
3. Organizations and members thereof are armed, equipped
and uniformed with prescribed allowances.
4. Instruction and training are in accordance with prescribed
standards.
5. Property issued to units is properly maintained and safe-
guarded.
6. Records are maintained in accordance with requirements
of the law and regulations.
These inspections were conducted during the biennium as
follows :
1. Fiscal year 1969—9 September— 18 October 1968
2. Fiscal year 1970—16 February— 12 March 1970
All units received a satisfactory rating.
G. Maintenance
The State Maintenance Officer has the responsibility for su-
pervising the maintenance and repair of all Federal equipment
except Army aircraft issued to the North Carolina Army Nation-
al Guard. The functions are performed at the Combined
Support Maintenance Shop, Raleigh; Raleigh-Durham Airport;
Weekend Training Equipment Pool (WETEP), Fort Bragg and
Report of The Adjutant General 25
the twenty (20) Organizational Maintenance Shops located
throughout the State. Maintenance of all supported equipment
is considered outstanding.
The Weekend Training Equipment Pool was established 1
May 1965 to provide a facility for maintenance, storage, issue
and receipt of tracked combat vehicles pooled at Fort Bragg,
N. C, for training armored elements of the NC ARNG. The
WETEP is under the operational control of the State Mainte-
nance Officer.
The Annual Command Maintenance Management Inspections
for FY 1969 and FY 1970 were conducted by personnel from the
Office of the State Maintenance Officer and Combined Support
Maintenance Shop. Units and activities are rated either satis-
factory or unsatisfactory. All units were rated Satisfactory for
FY 1969. All units except one were rated Satisfactory in FY
1970. The concept for the conduct of these CMMI's has accom-
plished the objective of causing commanders at all echelons to
become aware of their responsibilities for maintenance and Care
of their equipment.
The activities under the operational control of the State Main-
tenance Officer were inspected by the Third United States Army
Inspector General during Annual General Inspections in FY
1969 and FY 1970. Commendable results were recognized by
the Inspector both years.
H. Army National Guard Technician Program
Since the reorganization of the National Guard in 1947, vhe
many and varied administrative, accounting, logistical, main-
tenance and training functions required at each National Guard
unit and activity have been performed by a workforce of full-
time personnel known as National Guard Technicians. While
this group of employees has always been supported by Federal
funds, they were not recognized officially as either Federal or
State employees. After many years of effort on the part of the
National Guard Bureau, the National Guard Association of the
United States, the Adjutant General's Association of the United
States and congressional leaders, Public Law 90-486, the Na-
tional Guard Technician Act of 1968 (82 Stat. 755; 32 OSC
709), was approved on 13 August 1968. As a result of this law,
National Guard technicians were fully recognized as Federal
employees effective 1 January 1969.
26 Report of The Adjutant General
With the number of Army National Guard technicians auth-
orized for the State being based on the overall troop structure
and operational requirements of the State Army Nation-
al Guard's units and activities, the technician workforce has in-
creased during the period of this report from 470 to 490 full-
time employees. The majority of these technicians are required
to be members of the National Guard in a military assignment
related to their civilian employment, and for this reason are des-
ignated as "Excepted" Civil Service employees. In addition, a
small number of female stenographers and clerks are employed
and appointed as "Competitive" Civil Service employees.
Under the present manning criteria, at least one technician
is authorized for each Company or Detachment size unit with an
assigned strength of 50 or more Guardsmen. Battalion and
higher type headquarters are provided additional administrative
and training technicians based on the type of unit concerned.
Each battalion is supported by an Organizational Maintenance
Shop, manned by a Shop Chief and one or more mechanics who
perform the proper level of maintenance of Unit equipment.
The ofRce and warehouse of the United States Property and
Fiscal Officer, and the Army National Guard Combined Sup-
port Maintenance Shop, both located at the National Guard Cen-
ter Complex on Reedy Creek Road in Raleigh are supported,
personnel wise, entirely by technicians.
Technician positions and funding support for Army National
Guard units and activities during the biennium covered by this
report have been as follows :

From the standpoint of operations, the conversion of the tech-
nician workforce to a Federal employee status has been almost
unnoticeable. It has had, however, a considerable effect on the
administration and management of the program, which must
Report of The Adjutant General 27
now be performed and accomplished in accordance with applic-
able Civil Service as well as National Guard Bureau rules and
regulations. To the individual technician, it does provide numer-
ous improved benefits in the area of retirement, insurance
privileges, placement and promotion policies, grievance and ap-
peal procedures, and eligibility for participation in employee-
management relationships. While the full impact of Public Law
90-486 is yet to come, it should result in a more stable Army
National Guard Technician Program for both employees and
management than we have experienced heretofore.
I. Military Support To Civil Authorities
The Military Support to Civil Authorities Section has a dual
mission. This mission encompasses planning for and coordinat-
ing military support to Civil Defense Agencies in the event of
nuclear attack on the United States. Of equal importance, the
mission also includes planning for and coordinating military
support to civil authorities during natural or man-made disas-
ters, to include civil disorders.
This section functions as a full-time staff for The Adjutant
General in planning, coordinating, and furnishing planning
guidance in the military support of civil defense to all military
forces in the State of North Carolina. In addition, it serves The
Adjutant General in furnishing planning guidance in the mili-
tary support to civil authorities for all elements of the North
Carolina National Guard.
Military assistance to State and local government is provided
in times of hardship caused by unusual circumstances. Authori-
zation for affording military support from the North Carolina
National Guard at the State and local level remains under the
direct command of the Governor of North Carolina. In the event
of a national disaster of any type, the North Carolina National
Guard, in its entirety or by specific elements, could be ordered
into active Federal service. This section plus the other troops
concerned would then come under direct command of the Presi-
dent of the United States or his designated representative. At
that time only, would military assistance requirements be allo-
cated through the Federal Government.
This section is authorized and composed of five Army Nation-
al Guard Technicians. Although these technicians are supported
by Federal funds, they are under direct control and supervision
of The Adjutant General. Three members of the section have
28 Report of The Adjutant General
attended and graduated from the Office of Civil Defense Staff
College at Battle Creek, Michigan. Two members have attended
the Senior Officers Civil Disturbance Orientation Course (SEA-
DOC) at Fort Gordon, Georgia.
ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
J. Army Advisors
To provide assistance to unit commanders at the various
echelons of command in solving problems of training and ad-
ministration, the Department of Army authorizes an Advisor
Group, composed of regular Army Officers and enlisted men, to
each State. The Group assigned to North Carolina has an
authorized strength of 26 officers and 34 enlisted men. There
has been a noted increase in strength during the reporting
period vi^ith a year end assigned strength of 20 officers and 33
enlisted men.
Colonel John N. Schoming has served as Senior Advisor
throughout the period. The 30th Infantry Division (Mech) Ad-
visor, Colonel Albert M. Nash, has also served during the entire
period.
SECTION IX
AIR NATIONAL GUARD
A. Organization
The North Carolina Air National Guard is composed of six
elements reporting directly to and under the direction of Brig-
adier General William J. Payne, Assistant Adjutant General for
Air, State of North Carolina. These units are Hq, N.C. Air
National Guard, 145 Military Airlift Group, 263 Mobile Com-
munications Squadron (Contingency), 156 Weather Flight, 206
Weather Flight, and the 145 Communications Flight (Support).
These units, with the exception of the 263 Mobile Communica-
tions Squadron (Contg) and the 206 Weather Flight are located
at Douglas Municipal Airport, Charlotte, NC. The 263 Mobile
Communications Squadron (Contg) is located at Badin, N. C,
with a detachment at Wadesboro, NC. The 206 Weather Flight
is located at Raleigh-Durham Municipal Airport, Morrisville,
NC, and provides weather support for the 30th Infantry Divi-
sion, N. C. Army National Guard.
There were minor changes only in the organization and func-
tions of units of the North Carolina Air National Guard during
this period.
Headquarters, 145 Military Airlift Group supervises functions
of subordinate units which include the 145 Support Squadron,
145 Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, 145 Supply
Squadron, 145 USAF Dispensary, 156 Military Airlift Squad-
ron, 145 Aerial Port Flight, 156 Aeromedical Evacuation Flight,
and the 145 Civil Engineering Flight. Supervision and direc-
tion of functions are in accordance with the Group concept and
functional alignment whereby the authority and responsibility
to command an Air National Guard unit is vested in one com-
mander, the Group Commander. Although each unit with the
Group is authorized a commander, these subordinate comman-
ders are responsible to the Group Commander for certain func-
tions in support of the overall Group mission. Under this con-
cept, the Group Commander is authorized a Deputy Commander
for Materiel, a Deputy Commander for Operations, and a Sup-
port Squadron Commander as assistants for the supervision of
Group line activities. The Commander, 145 USAF Dispensary,
is the Group Surgeon and provides advice in all medical matters.

30 Report of The Adjutant General
The 145 Civil Engineering Flight was activated on 22 Novem-
ber 1969. The Civil Engineering function formerly assigned to
the 145 Support Squadron was withdrawn and became the re-
sponsibility of the Civil Engineering Flight. The basic strength
column of the unit manning document contains the personnel
authorizations to provide the flight with a mobile (Prime Beef
"C" Team) response capability. The augmented strength column
of the UMD contains the personnel authorizations required to
fulfill a typical Civil Engineering Flight mission requirement.
The Prime Beef "C" Team is designed to support unforeseen
contingencies and special air warfare operations. It can be called
upon to supplement other Prime Beef Teams that need assis-
tance. Prime Beef (Base Engineer Emergency Forces) are de-
signed to perform direct combat-support roles in support of the
Air Force mission world-wide. Military Airlift Command,
USAF, is the major gaining command for the 145 Military Air-
lift Group. The Group is assigned to the 116 Military Airlift
Wing, Georgia Air National Guard, for mobilization and train-
ing purposes. In the event of recall to extended active duty, the
Group and assigned units would become a part of the World
Wide MAC System with assignment to 21 Air Force, McGuire
AFB, New Jersey . The Group has an "in place" M-Day
assignment.
The 263 Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg) is com-
posed of Operations, Maintenance, and self-supporting sections
and is assigned to the 251 Communications Group (Mobile),
Ohio Air National Guard, Springfield, Ohio for operational,
training, and mobilization purposes. This unit has a M-Day
assignment to Air Force Communications Service.
The 145 Communications Flight (Support) has a M-Day
assignment to Air Force Communications Service. The Flight
provides communications support for the 145 Military Airlift
Group and would continue this support in the event of activation
of the Group.
The 156 Weather Flight (Mobile/Fixed) and the 206 Weather
Flight (SA) have a M-Day assignment to Air Weather Ser-
vice, an intermediate command under Military Airlift Com-
mand. The 156 Weather Flight has continued normal operations
during this period without a major change in organizational
structure. The maintenance of a high level of operational read-
iness by the 156 Weather Flight has been noteworthy. The 206
Report of The Adjutant General 31
Weather Flight provides weather support for the 30th Infantry
Division. The strength of the Fhght was increased from 2 offi-
cers and 4 airmen to 3 officers and 15 airmen on 1 August
1969. The progress toward operational readiness made by the
206 Weather Flight is outstanding, especially in view of the
significant increase in strength and training requirements.
The concentration of a majority of the North Carolina Air
National Guard functions at Charlotte, NC, has permitted the
decentralization of certain Air National Guard functions to the
Office of the Assistant Adjutant General for Air, thereby elimi-
nating duplications of effort in some areas. This practice occurs
primarily in the personnel and administrative areas. In ad-
dition. Assistant USP&FO's for Air, (Fiscal), (Property), and
(Real Property), perform Air Comptroller, Supply and Ser-
vices, and Property accountability functions.
Equipment in use in the North Carolina Air National Guard
has a value of $2.4 million. Real estate is valued at $2.6 million,
aircraft and spare parts at over $15 million, while the annual
payrolls total approximately three million dollars.
Air National Guard unit manning documents are the docu-
ments which authorize military manpower spaces. Problems en-
countered in previous years in the areas of authorizations versus
ceilings continued at the beginning of this period. The comman-
der must consider the drill pay ceiling when filling a manning
document position. He alone must decide which positions to fill
and those positions which can be left vacant. The unit manning
document thus becomes a desired goal in the event of active
duty. In this State, we are authorized 1,234 military spaces in
accordance with approved unit manning standards. The pro-
grammed drill pay spaces were 1,100 which meant that approxi-
mately 90 7^^ of authorized positions could be filled in FY 1969.
The overall Air National Guard drill-pay spaces were increased
effective 1 July 1969. The drill-pay ceiling of the 145 Military
Airlift Group was again increased to 100% of authorized spaces.
The majority of airmen assigned to N. C. Air National Guard
units were non-prior service personnel at time of enlistment.
Maintenance of authorized strength levels is dependent upon re-
ceipt of sufficient USAF training spaces to enlist non-prior ser-
vice personnel. When drill-pay ceilings are increased, an in-
crease in USAF Service School spaces should follow. The Air
National Guard is not in a position to depend entirely on non-
prior service enlistment quotas and training spaces to meet
32 Report of The Adjutant General
strength requirements. A small percentage of personnel with ac-
tive duty experience are enlisted each year and a small percen-
tage of personnel who complete their service obligation with the
Air National Guard reenlist or extend enlistments. The intro-
duction of the Selective Service Random Selection Procedures
decreased the available manpower to fill authorized enlistment/
service school training quotas. However, we were able to fill all
spaces authorized and still have a waiting list. Non-prior ser-
vice personnel are processed for enlistment in accordance with
priority system established by the Department of Defense. Or-
der of enlistment is: Priority I: applicants who have not un-
dergone random selection for induction ; Priority II : applicants
who have undergone random selection for induction. Every ef-
fort is made to retain experienced airmen completing service
obligation, through explanation of benefits, advantages of con-
tinued training, and appeal to patriotism. Retention of trained
personnel will continue as a problem area until additional bene-
fits are made available. A reenlistment bonus for the Reserve
Forces would eliminate some of the loss of trained and proficient
manpower. The turnover of a large force of trained personnel
each six years is expensive and has an adverse effect on the
operational capability of units of the Reserve Forces. During
the latter part of this period, there was extensive discussion of
an all volunteer regular force and the impact of such a program
on the National Guard.
During this period, the Air National Guard continued opera-
tions under the generally accepted concept that the Air Nation-
al Guard has passed from a training organization to an opera-
tional unit. At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1969, two airlift
missions were flown to Vietnam each month. This was the an-
ticipated level of participation in Fiscal Year 1969. These mis-
sions were supported from Air National Guard appropriations
intended to support the ANG training mission. We were able
to provide operational support as a by-product of our Air
National Guard training dollars, thus giving the taxpayer double
value for his defense dollar. Participation in Vietnam missions
was over and above the average of three missions flown each
month to Europe. Missions to Vietnam were later reduced to an
average of one each 20 days due to budgetary limitations. The
145 Military Airlift Group entered FY 1969 with a capability
rating of C-2, which indicates fully operational with minor ex-
ceptions. The limiting factor was a shortage of flight engineers
Report of The Adjutant General 33
and loss of qualified pilots. Additional flight engineers entered
Cruise Control Training Course in February 1969. Overall short-
age in assigned strength became the limiting factor later in the
year. C-1 rating, fully operational, was attained in December
1969 and maintained for the remainder of the reporting period.
During this period, the 145 Military Airlift Group continued its
excellent record of accident free flying and flew the C-124, unit
equipped aircraft, (or primary weapons system), a total of
11,200 hours. This makes a grand total of 18,838 hours in the
Globemaster and a noteworthy total of 60,498 accident free fly-
ing hours through 30 June 1970. At the close of this period, the
C-124 aircraft had an average airframe time of 15,315 hours
per aircraft with an average installed engine time of 564 hours.
The direct maintenance man-hour factor for each flying hour is
15.4. During this period, the Group flew 103.5 percent of pro-
grammed flying hours. (Mission accomplishment will be out-
lined later in this report). We could not list accomplishments
without again praising our aircrew members who secured time
off from regular civilian positions in order to make the many
trips. The attitude displayed by the employers in this area has
been one of understanding and acceptance. This approach has
assured an airlift capability as well as availability of employees
to the civilian economy a majority of the time. We feel the reali-
zation by DoD of the airlift capability available from the Air
National Guard has been one reason units have not been recalled
during the Vietnam emergency. Support provided as outlined
herein has required an average of nearly 500 flying hours per
month during the two-year period. This is quite an achievement,
especially since a major conversion had occurred 15 months
prior to the beginning of this report. As of 30 June 1970, the
following NC ANG units were Federally recognized and person-
nel were actively participating in scheduled training activities :

Report of The Adjutant General 35
B. Mission
The primary mission of the flying organization is military air-
lift with a secondary function of aeromedical airlift. The mission
has not changed during this reporting period; however, it is
worthy of note that the unit has actually performed its primary
mission as well as trained to perform these missions. The de-
velopment of this concept has been explained previously. The
fact that Reserve Force units are demonstrating wartime capa-
bilities with a peacetime organization cannot be repeated too
often. This is true of all the Air National Guard Military Air-
lift Units. The question regarding the future of airlift units was
never clearly resolved during this period. A definite trend was
established by conversion of two strategic (or MAC) airlift units
to tactical airlift with Tactical Airlift Command as gaining
command and by the reduced enroute supported provided our
aircraft by Military Airlift Command. It appears that at least
some of the C-124 units will be in existence for several years
due to its capability in the outsize cargo area. What next? Who
knows? The future must take into consideration the potential of
the mammoth C-54, the 14 active MAC C-141 squadrons, the
needs of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, which is being pressured
by MAC to provide, in the event of war, outsize cargo configured
aircraft — DC-10, Lockheed 1011, and Boeing 747 — without a
peacetime military cargo airlift contract to insure that this war-
time requirement is a reasonable financial investment. USAF
RAND studies have recommended, among other things, that the
C-141's be transferred to the Reserve fleet. Our future aircraft
could well be in the jet C-141 Starlifter.
The North Carolina Air National Guard has been fortunate
to have a stable force of key officers and airmen in past years.
Very few officers have been eliminated by Vitalization Board
action. This may not be the case in the next few years. We may
lose some officers due to the vitalization concept, others will be
lost due to age, total Federal commissioned service, etc. Pro-
grams have been adopted to assure that replacements are avail-
able to continue our tradition as a combat-capable force.
Primary mission of each NC ANG unit is as follows :

C. Reorganization and Aircraft Conversions
The flying unit of the North Carolina Air National Guard was
equipped with C-124 aircraft during this entire reporting period.
No aircraft conversions have occurred. Only minor organiza-
tional changes have been made. The 145 Civil Engineering
Flight was Federally recognized during this period. Alignment
to meet the Prime Beef concept was accomplished when unit was
presented for Federal recognition.
Units of the 145 Military Airlift Group are organized in ac-
cordance with unit manning documents applicable to C-124 air-
craft. The majority of the UMD's relating to MAC gained units
are as of November 1966 and should be brought up-to-date by
the National Guard Bureau. This program is under staff study.
The 206 Weather Flight was reorganized on 1 August 1969.
This reorganization resulted in an increase in authorized
strength from 2 officers and 4 airmen to 3 officers and 15 airmen.
The anticipated increase in authorized grade for the Comman-
der was not reflected in revised Unit Manning Document.
Military units authorized as of 30 June 1970 are shown under
Part A of this report. One unit has been added during this re-
porting period. The 145 Civil Engineering Flight was Federally
recognized effective 22 Nov. 69, with assignment to the 145 Mili-
tary Airlift Group.
Sixteen aircrews consisting of 3 pilots, 2 navigators, 2 flight
engineers, and one loadmaster are authorized in the 156 Military
Airlift Squadron to operate mission aircraft. This constitutes
38 Report of The Adjutant General
an increase of one pilot and one navigator per basic crew over
authorization for C-121 aircraft. Authorization is based on two
aircrews for each of the 8 C-124 aircraft. Operational readiness
is based on an aircrew consisting of 2 pilots, 1 navigator, 2
flight engineers and one loadmaster. Sixteen aircrews are formed
and 15 are operationally ready. Additional operationally ready
crew members are in other assignments with the 145 Military
Airlift Group and State Headquarters. In addition, 10 aeromed-
ical crews, consisting of 2 flight nurses and three aeromedical
technicians for each crew, are authorized for the aeromedical
airlift function.
The flying unit continued its accident free record during this
period and was again given special recognition by the National
Guard Bureau and Military Airlift Command. In November
1969, the NC ANG completed 10 years of accident free flying
and, on 30 June 1970 has accumulated 60,498 hours of accident
free flying time. The last major aircraft accident occurred in
August 1958. These records are most impressive; however, they
become even more so considering that the flying unit has been
involved in five major aircraft conversions . . . from F-86E Jet
Day Fighters to the F86L All Weather Jet Interceptors, to two
different models of the twin reciprocating engine C-119 to the
four engined C-121 Super Constellation, and finally the four en-
gined C-124 Globemaster.
D. Construction
The following projects have been completed or were in prog-
ress during this reporting period :
1. Constructed new parking lot. Grading, necessary storm
drains and gravel. Enlarged one of the existing parking lots.
Charlotte, NC. Cost $7,700.00
2. Constructed AGE Storage Shed and Equipment Painting

3. Alteration of Maintenance Dock, Building #22, to provide
space for an Engine I&R Shop, Charlotte, NC. Cost $6,000.00
4. Installed necessary switching gear to provide emergency
power to critical functions, Charlotte, NC. Cost $2,800.00
5. Constructed weapons vault in Base Supply, Charlotte, NC.
Cost $1,400.00
6. Repairs to aircraft parking apron, Charlotte, NC. Cost
$8,250.00
Report of The Adjutant General 39
7.' Constructed Base Perimeter Road, Charlotte, NC. Cost
$4,600.00
8. Under construction — Warehouse, 263 Mobile Communi-
cations Squadron, Badin, NC. Cost $24,460.00
9. Training Projects Cost $2,000.00
Total Cost $64,010.00
E. Annual Training
ANGM 50-01 authorizes the performance of a fifteen-day an-
nual training by two methods. Annual training may be per-
formed by a unit during fifteen continuous days or under the
year-round concept. The 263 Mobile Communications Squadron
(Contg), the 156 Weather Flight, and the 206 Weather Flight
use the 15 continuous day system. The 145 Military Airlift
Group uses the "year round" concept. This system was used
during the Fiscal Years 1969 and 1970. The year round plan
permits the spread of available annual training manpower
throughout the year in direct support of daily mission support
requirements. The commander is provided complete flexibility
to schedule available mandays in all of the various categories.
When effectively used, this plan can be invaluable in improving
the over-all capability of individuals and units. Detailed
scheduling is most important if the objectives of this plan are
met.
During each fiscal year, four primary field training periods
were established for personnel of the 145 Military Airlift Group,
other than rated personnel and others on flying status. An effort
was made to schedule approximately one fourth of the person-
nel for training during each of the primary periods in order to
spread available annual training mandays throughout the fiscal
year to support mission requirements. In instances where per-
sonnel could not attend during a primary period, they were
scheduled for other periods when services could be used.
Changes to the Joint Travel Regulations have complicated the
scheduling of annual field training for personnel attending un-
der the year round concept. Personnel residing outside commut-
ing distance are scheduled to attend during one of the two per-
iods when dining hall is in operation. This practice conserves
the limited funds available since we are not required to pay per
diem during annual training when rations and quarters are
available. Quarters are always available.
40 Report of The Adjutant General
Rated personnel and a majority of other personnel on flying
status completed annual training by making overwater flights.
This action was taken in order to assure aircrew personnel were
current and to qualify other flying personnel on overseas routes,
thereby increasing the operational readiness status of personnel
in this category. Trips were scheduled to Southeast Asia and to
Europe and aircrews operated over routes prescribed by Mili-
tary Airlift Command. Flight nurses and medical technicians
who had not previously performed 15 days training as medical
crew members aboard aeromedical transport aircraft of the
active Air Force, transporting sick and injured patients of the
armed forces throughout the continental United States, parti-
cipated in this training. Others performed the same duty air-
lifting patients from overseas bases such as South Vietnam,
Japan, and Europe to the United States.
The year round type of annual training is quite valuable and
has been effectively used by our flying units. Continuous evalua-
tion is necessary to insure that full training benefits are realized.
A program of this type is necessary in order for flying person-
nel to meet overwater training and qualification requirements.
The value to other personnel must be based on training benefits
realized and contributions to the overall mission. These are the
most important items for unit commanders to consider in pre-
paring a field training schedule. Personal convenience must be
the least important item in the scheduling.
In 1968, the 263 Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg)
participated in Exercise "Guard Strike 11", with personnel train-
ing at Glenview NAS, 111., Volk Field (ANG Training Site),
Wis., Truax Field, Wis., Springfield ANGB, 111. Deluth Interna-
tional Airport, Minn., Altus AFB, Okla. Birmingham MAP,
Ala., and Badin ANG Installation, Badin, NC.
In 1969 this organization performed annual training at home
stations, Badin and Wadesboro, NC.
Both periods were highly effective in improving the overall
capability of the 263 Mobile Communications. Squadron.
The 156 Weather Flight (Mobile/Fixed) attended annual
training at Phelps-Collins ANG Base in Michigan during the
period 19 Jul 69 — 2 Aug. 69. This type of training is quite val-
uable since personnel have an opportunity to provide weather
support under field conditions. Reports received indicate that the
Report of The Adjiitant General 41
unit performed in its usual outstanding manner. Unit did not
participate in annual training again before the end of this
period.
The 206 Weather Flight attended field training 10 Aug. 68—
24 Aug 68 at Myrtle Beach AFB, SC. This type of training is
quite valuable since personnel have an opportunity to work v^ith
their counterparts and receive training in the operation of a
Weather Flight on an Air Force Base. Unit attended annual
training at Fort Stewart, Ga., during the period 6-20 July 1969
and at Pope AFB, NC during the period 30 May 1970-13 June
1970.
F. Schools
USAF and other service technical schools listed in the USAF
Formal Schools Prospectus are available to Air National Guard
members. Advanced and lateral courses have not been used to a
great extent during this period since C-124 Mobile Training De-
tachment was available to provide training in C-124 systems.
Non-prior service personnel enlisting in the Air National
Guard are required to complete a minimum of four months ac-
tive duty for training as a condition of enlistment and in order
to become basically qualified in duty Air Force specialty. Due to
a requirement that period of active duty begin within 120 days
after enlistment, an individual cannot be enlisted until an Air
Force service school space has been made available by the Na-
tional Guard Bureau. The four months active duty requirement
may be completed by attending USAF Basic Military Training
for six weeks and returning to home station for on-the-job train-
ing at the "3" (or apprentice) skill level until four months ac-
tive duty for training is completed or member qualifies as "3"
skill level ; by attending USAF Basic and USAF Technical School
and returning to home station for "5" (or journeyman) skill
level OJT until active duty training is completed, or by attend-
ing Basic Military Training and USAF Service School where
duration is four or more months. After the initial active duty
training period, airmen receive training toward a higher skill
level under the dual training concept. On-the-job training is pro-
vided while member participates in inactive and full time train-
ing duty. Participation in Career Development Courses (Air
University Correspondence Courses) between training periods
is also required. Each airman is pre-tested as phases of the
42 Report of The Adjutant General
training program are completed, then tested by the Test Control
Officer prior to being awarded a higher level Air Force Specialty.
The ANG was required to assume the testing function during
this period. This is a function of the Air Force ; however, MAC
has not provided officer Advisor manpower to accomplish this
required testing.
USAF Service School spaces have been available to meet the
majority of training requirements during this reporting period.
Availability of spaces in the future is unknown. It will depend
on actual support received to upgrade the Air National Guard.
The drill pay ceiling is an ever present numbers game. The
ceiling is dictated by the Department of Defense and is com-
pounded by the current accounting approach whereby a given
number of mandays are allocated based on several factors. When
we entered into the C-124 program, immediate authorization
for 100% manning was given. We assumed this authorization
was here to stay ; however, this is not the case. We were heroes
on 30 June 1970 because we had raised airman strength to a
desired level, although we had a document, which was to become
effective 1 July 1970, reducing our manning level to approxi-
mately 92% of UMD authorized strength. Immediately, we
faced an overstrength situation. To make matters worse, if pos-
sible, the accounting factors indicate approximately 90%) of
maximum programmed strength (drill pay ceiling) will attend
annual training. Unit training assembly attendance is based on
88% of programmed strength. Our participation closely approx-
imates 100% routinely.
The discussion in the schools area would not be complete with-
out mentioning the pilot procurement program. The Air Nation-
al Guard and all individuals and associations interested in the
future of the Air National Guard have tried for many years to
get the ANG pilot training quota increased. This was not pos-
sible during each of the fiscal years being reported. We had a
quota of 2 pilot trainees during each fiscal year. We anticipated
an increase to four during FY 71. The quota of pilot trainees
for the Air National Guard should be further increased if the
ANG is to provide the back-up capability for our Regular Forces.
There has been an increase in the number of prior service pilots
making application for appointment in the ANG. This source
of pilots could be used for appointment of additional pilots if
support is increased.
Report of The Adjutant General 43
We are in a good position insofar as the pilot age factor and
anticipated losses due to provisions of ROPA are concerned.
Minimal losses are anticipated over the next several years. Most
of these will be due to completion of service obligations and
ANG obligations by young pilots trained under the ANG pilot
training quota. We are also in a good position insofar as as-
signed navigators are concerned. We believe young pilots and
navigators leaving the regular Air Force could meet forseeable
needs. We appear to be in an excellent position until 1975 if no
unforeseen significant trends develop. We could lose some pilots
to the vitalization program.
Several other training programs available to the Air National
Guard have been used during this reporting period. The Air
Force OflRcer Training School has been used to train young offi-
cers for assignment to non-flying positions. Upon completion of
Officer Training School and commissioning, an effort is made to
enter officers in an USAF Service School offering Basic Techni-
cal Training in career area of anticipated assignment.
The National Guard Bureau has established the ANG Non-
commissioned Officer Academy and the ANG Leadership School
at McGhee Tyson ANG Base, Knoxville, Tenn. The former is
designed to train NCO's in upper grades E-5 through E-9, the
latter is designed to train airmen in the lower grades E-3 and
E-4. Our non-commissioned officers are taking advantage of the
excellent training provided by the ANG NCO Academy. Gradu-
ates are encouraging other NCO's to attend and are striving to
increase attendance at the Leadership School. We plan to give
NCO Academy graduates increased responsibility in the man-
agement of the ANG.
G. Air Technician Program
Air Technician management and supervisory functions are
decentralized under the provisions of ANGR 40-01, and are per-
formed under the direction of the Base Detachment Comman-
der, 145 Military Airlift Group, North Carolina Air National
Guard, Charlotte, NC. In this capacity, the Base Detachment
Commander directs the activities of the Air Technician Detach-
ment, Charlotte, NC and the Air Technician Detachment, 263
Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg), Badin, NC. Air
Technicians perform those functions and duties which cannot
be performed by Air National Guard members while in a mili-
tarv status.
44 Report of The Adjutant General
The manpower authorizations for the Detachment at Char-
lotte, NC are based on certain military factors and the success
of military units in meeting- established goals. One of the most
important factors is assigned pilot strength. Pilot strength has
been a problem area throughout the overall Air National Guard
until recently. The Air National Guard flying unit at Charlotte,
NC, has maintained pilot strength above the National Guard
Bureau programmed level throughout this period.
The National Guard Bureau has established a Standard Man-
ning Document System. This standard document is intended to
authorize identical manpower spaces to units possessing similar
aircraft. This system cannot be followed in all situations due to
differences in support responsibilities. The standard documents
are designed to show requirements for the basic manning of an
Air Technician Detachment. Due to manpower and budgetary
limitations, the National Guard Bureau has not been in a posi-
tion to fund for authorized manpower spaces.
The requirement or manpower spaces shown on the most re-
cent Air Technician Manning Document indicate an authoriza-
tion of 194 spaces for the flying base; however, we have been
limited to a monthly average of 170 employees during the past
Fiscal Years, The trend is toward additional reductions in
authorized man-years. The Base Detachment Commander is
authorized to fill those positions which, in his opinion, are most
essential to the performance of the primary mission of the flying
base. The present manning policy creates an austere situation.
In some instances, it has been necessary to curtail employment
in some areas in order to retain personnel essential to the suc-
cessful accomplishment of the flying mission.
The Air Technician Detachment can always use additional
manpower. The year round concept of field training and local
OJT program for non-prior service personnel completing active
duty for training requirements provides some relief.
The Air Technician manning standard applicable to the 263
Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg) indicates a require-
ment for 15 employees. Due to limitations in man-years autho-
rized for the State, this unit has been permitted an average of 14
permanent employees. Two technicians are authorized Hq NC
ANG and two personnel technicians are authorized to support
functions of the Air Technicians Office.
The Air Technicians are a force of highly skilled personnel
and the "backbone" of the Air National Guard program. The
Report of The Adjutant General 45
technicians have continued their leadership role in making our
Air National Guard units a most valuable part of the Air Force.
After many years of effort on the part of the National Guard
Bureau, and other friends of the Technicians, the status of Tech-
nicians was clarified when PL 90-486, the National Guard Tech-
nicians Act of 1968, was signed by The President in August
1968. Technicians on board on 1 January 1969 became Federal
employees and were eligible for many of the benefits available
to employees of Federal agencies. The law is most unique in that
it designates Technicians as Federal employees as a matter of
law and yet it provides for certain statutory administrative
authority at the State level with respect to the administration
of the Technician program. Thus, the law recognizes the mili-
tary requirements and the State characteristics of the National
Guard and designates the State Adjutants General as the sole
agent for employment and administration of the Technician
program, under appropriate regulations prescribed by the sec-
retaries concerned. Excepted Technicians constitute the major-
ity of the Technician force. As a condition of employment, ex-
cepted employees must be members of the National Guard and
hold the military grade of officer, warrant officer, or enlisted
specified by the technician position description.
Considerable planning was necessary in a short period to pre-
pare for conversion of employees to a Federal status. Orientation
conferences were conducted by the National Guard Bureau dur-
ing October 1968. The conversion to systems and forms pre-
scribed by the National Guard Bureau and the Civil Service
Commission created an additional workload for the limited num-
ber of technicians available to perform these tasks. In addition,
it was necessary to review past technician employment records
for financial and personnel data required for completion of
forms which were mandatory on 1- January 1969. In many in-
stances, data collected covered over 20 years employment as
technicians plus extended active duty in one of the armed ser-
vices.
The most important factor of the new status was the retire-
ment program and allied benefits. The Public Law provides
credit for past technician service in full for Civil Service re-
tirement eligibility purposes but there is a limitation of 557^
for retirement pay computation purposes. We still hope that full
credit for past service for all purposes will be forthcoming in
the near future.
46 Report of The Adjutant General
The Air National Guard had one involuntary retirement dur-
ing this period. Employee occupied a technician position no
longer listed in appropriate manning document. NGB granted a
waiver permitting employment for the required one year after
1 January 1969 to meet retirement eligibility requirements.
Mandatory retirements will begin in the coming year. Plans are
being made for replacements. Two key positions are involved.
Operations under the new system have not been too difficult.
The ANG has endeavored to use Air Force prescribed forms and
procedures for a number of years.
H. Air Advisors
Military Airlift Command has changed its policy regarding
assignment of Air Advisors to ANG flying groups. This policy
change began when all pilot advisors were withdrawn from
ANG flying groups approximately four years ago. The Flying
Group has not had a pilot advisor since receipt of C-124 air-
craft. An officer navigator advisor has not been assigned since
June 1970. MAC realized that advisors are not fully utilized
after the airlift unit is initially indoctrinated in aircraft pro-
cedures and changed its manning concept. In the future an ad-
visory team consisting of one pilot, one navigator, one flight en-
gineer, one loadmaster, one aircraft maintenance superinten-
dent and one aeromedical technician, will be assigned for approx-
imately 18 months following receipt of a different UE aircraft.
Long range plan provides for permanent assignment of one
pilot, one aircraft maintenance superintendent and one aero-
medical technician. It appears pilot advisor will not become
available for assignment until further phase down of Vietnam
commitment. The gaining command has a responsibility to pro-
vide qualified personnel to conduct required testing under AFM
35-8. No provisions to fulfill this responsibility under the testing
program has been made. The flying unit had to assume this re-
sponsibility to stay in business. This is just one more case of
added responsibility without adequate manning.
One Aircraft Maintenance Superintendent and one Aeromedi-
cal Technician were asigned by MAC to the flying unit advisory
staff as of close of this reporting period.
One airman technical advisor is authorized each of the Weath-
er Flights. Exceptionally well qualified personnel have occupied
these positions during this reporting period. Air Weather Ser-
vice, as intermediate gaining command under MAC, supports
Report of The Adjutant General 47
the advisory program in an excellent manner. The same is true
of the Air Force Communications Service, which is gaining
command for the 263 Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg)
and the 145 Communications Flight. Weather Flight advisors
are especially valuable since an Air Technician is not authorized
for these units.
Advisory visits are made to our units by designated regular
Air Force units. This function is performed by Hq 21 AF Staff
in the case of the 145 Military Airlift Group. Since their "ad-
vice" is often challenged by the 21 AF IG Team, and their visits
are time and manpower consuming, we question the value of
some of the Advisory Visits and have expressed our opinion.
I. Conclusions
A report of this nature would not be complete without again
mentioning the changes occurring insofar as use of the Air Na-
tional Guard is concerned. We have progressed from a training
concept to an operational concept. There is no question regard-
ing the capability of the Air National Guard. Representatives of
the Air Force have made this clear on a number of occasions.
Aircrews are performing operational missions while on active
duty and are eligible for the same awards and decorations as
aircrews of the Regular Establishment. One hundred and thirty-
one assigned aircrew members have been awarded the Vietnam
Service Medal for service in a combat area ; 22 have one Bronze
Service Star; 16 have 2 Bronze Service Stars; 17 have 3 Bronze
Service Stars; 8 have 4 Bronze Service Stars and 5 have five
Bronze Service Stars denoting campaign participation. Forty
aircrew members have been awarded the Republic of Vietnam
Campaign Medal and 46 have been awarded the Armed Forces
Expeditionary Medal.
Air National Guard aircrews continued performing operation-
al missions in support of the Regular Establishment involved in
limited wars. The increased flying time without a like increase
in direct support has been an outstanding accomplishment. As in
the past, we continue to wonder what will happen in future years
if requirement for increased support for the active duty forces
is reduced?
Throughout this period of outstanding performance by the
Air National Guard airlift forces, plans have been announced
to reduce the number of strategic airlift forces assigned to MAC.
The 145 Military Airlift Group has not been affected as of this
48 Report of The Adjutant General
date. We are looking forward to future aircraft conversion to
more modern aircraft. The associate unit concept is a reality
in U.S. Air Force Reserve. It has not been applied to an Air
National Guard unit.
Follow^ing- is a list of flying accomplishments during the re-
porting period :
a. 11,200 flying hours
b. 123 overwater missions
c. 35 Southeast Asia (Vietnam) missions
d. 2,378.3 tons of cargo flown
e. 8,160,223 ton miles flown
f. Flew a total of 166 cargo missions and 88 passenger missions
The bulk of our airmen have been well-trained in Riot Control,
and we form the State Reserve. Our aircrews have flown several
Garden Plot missions airlifting troops and equipment, vehicles,
etc., in support of Civil Disturbance Control outside the State.
Several of our members have served on State duty in the Adju-
tant General's Public Relations/Information Program during
civil disturbances within the State.
SECTION X
SIMPLIFIED FISCAL STATEMENT
The financial report of the operations of the Department is
made on the fiscal year basis. This report is being made to cover
the Fiscal Years 1969 and 1970. The Fiscal Years 1968, 1969 and

REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES PROPERTY AND
FISCAL OFFICER
FISCAL YEARS 1969 AND 1970
9 September 1970
TO: The Adjutant General, State of North Carolina
GENERAL INFORMATION
The following report of the operation of activities of the USPFO for
North Carolina for Fiscal Years 1969 and 1970, beginnings 1 July 1968 and
ending 30 June 1970, is respectfully submitted.
The USPFO is authorized this State under the provisions of Title 32,
United States Code, Section 708. The required duties of this position are
prescribed in Federal Statutes vvrhich are implemented by the Secretary of
the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force by means of Army and Air
Force Regulations, National Guard Bureau Regulations and other direc-
tives. In the Comptroller area, he is responsible for the proper finan-
cial planning, obligating, accounting, reporting and administrative con-
trol of Federal funds allotted to the State for the support of Army and
Air National Guard units and activities by the National Guard Bureau
and other Government agencies. In the Logistical area, he is responsible
for the requisitioning, receipt, warehousing, issue, shipment, disposition and
accounting for supplies furnished and equipment loaned to the State by
the Federal Government for the training support of Federally recognized
Army and Air National Guard units and activities. The USPFO is ap-
pointed by the National Guard Bureau as the Federal Contracting Officer
and designated the Transportation Officer for the National Guard of this
State. The USPFO is also the representative of the National Guard Bureau
responsibility for making interim and final inspections of all construction
projects for the National Guard of this State which are executed under
State contracts utilizing Federal funds. Annex A to this report contains
a breakdown of the functions of the Divisions and Offices of this Activity
in the two years covered by the report.
To assist the USPFO in carrying out his responsibilities, this office is
authorized a total of sixty-five (65) technician employees under the Army
National Guard Technician Program. The organizational manning structure
for these employees is established in accordance with current functional
criteria developed by the National Guard Bureau on a nationwide basis.
Under the Air National Guard Technician Program, technicians are author-
ized for this purpose at the North Carolina Air National Guard Activities
located at Douglas Municipal Airport, Charlotte, N. C.
Colonel Thomas B. Longest, who was appointed to this position 1 May
1959, served as the USPFO for the State during this period.

54 Report of The Adjutant General
comptroller
Total Federal funds expended (see Annex B) including pay for Inactive
Duty Training amounted to $14,338,771.24 during FY 1969 and $19,964,703.74
during FY 1970. This represented an obligation rate of 99.77% in FY 1969
and 99.89% in FY 1970 of total funds allocated.
CONTRACTS AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Numerous R&U and Non-Armory Construction projects were completed.
Annex C contains a complete listing of the projects, their location and the
amount of each contract.
LOGISTICS
An increase in civil unrest and the mission of the National Guard to
restore and maintain law and order in disturbance of this nature resulted
in considerable special equipment being issued to assist the troops in per-
forming this duty.
An over-all improvement in the allocation of funds made it possible to
continue to add to the inventory of authorized TOE and TDA Equipment.
The major items of this equipment are listed in Annex D to this report.
The equipment on hand in the Weekend Training Equipment Pool at
Fort Bragg, N. C, is listed in Annex E. This equipment is available for use
by units of the NCARNG during weekend assemblies and annual training
periods.
At the close of this period, indications are that we will continue to re-
ceive considerable new equipment as a direct result of the reduction in
force by the Active Army. However, the new funding program will place
serious limitations on funds available for new items that have to be
purchased.
INSPECTIONS
The activities of the USPFO were inspected once each Fiscal Year by
the Third U. S. Army Inspector General and a rating of Satisfactory was
received on each of these inspections. There were no major deficiencies
noted.
The vehicles and equipment used by the USPFO Warehouse were in-
spected by Command Maintenance Inspection Teams each Fiscal Year and
there were no reportable deficiencies on either of these inspections.
Headquarters, Military Airlift Command, Scott AFB, Illinois, conducted
a Comptroller Inspection each Fiscal Year of the Accounts of the Assis-
tant USPFO (Fiscal), NC Air National Guard, Charlotte, N. C. No rat-
ings are given, however, the report noted that the accounts were adequate
and no changes were recommended in procedure.
The USAF Auditor General Resident Office, Shaw AFB, S. C, conducted
an audit of the NC Air National Guard records in November, 1969 and
found them completely in order.
Report of The Adjutant General 55
The USAF Auditor General Resident Office, Pope AFB, N. C, conducted
an audit of the records supporting documents and internal controls of the
NC Air National Guard located in the office during February 1970. No
recommendations were made concerning procedure changes.
The Atlanta Region of the Defense Contract Audit Agency made an
audit of each Fiscal Year of the costs of each of the Service Contracts ad-
ministered by this office for the support of facilities used by the North Car-
olina National Guard. No exception to the costs or the payments made by
this office under these contracts was taken by the Defense Contract Audit
Agency.
In addition to the inspections by other agencies and higher headquarters,
examination personnel of this office conducted eleven (11) Internal Reviews
of various USPFO functions during the reporting period to evaluate finan-
cial and internal controls.

ing period 28 July-11 August 1968 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The
Academy functioned with its own permanently assigned Staff, which was
authorized by the National Guard Bureau, 1 January 1968. This Staff was
augmented as necessary with officers and enlisted personnel from other
units in the NC ARNG. This was considered to be our most productive
and successful AT in our history.
3. Administration:
a. Advance Detachment: Did not exceed authorized strength. Con-
sidered adequate.
b. Instructor Support: The instructor Staff was composed of NC
ARNG Staff Assistants and professional teachers. These were organized
into committees and all achieved outstanding results.
c. Medical Support: The medical support consisted of one (1) Medi-
cal Doctor, eight (8) medical technicians and three ambulances. This
gave us 24 hour medical aid available in our area dispensary and provided
the required medical support on all ranges and training areas. Individuals
requiring treatment beyond the capability of our dispensary were evacu-
ated to Womack Army Hospital here at Fort Bragg.
d. Transportation: Considered adequate. The members of OC Class
number 11 (Junior Class) were transported to Fort Bragg and returned to
home station on government vehicles. Three buses from the TMP in Ral-
eigh were used both then and during AT to transport students to train-
ing areas. Army sedans provided the administrative transportation for
the Staff and faculty. Tactical and combat vehicles were borrowed from
the NCNG Organizational Maintenance Shop and the MUTA Con-Site here
at Fort Bragg.
e. Mess Support: Rations were drawn from the Post Quartermaster
according to their schedule and menu. The Mess Steward and Cooks were
provided by the Post Food Service School at Fort Bragg. Food prepar-
ation and mess management were considered outstanding. Kitchen Police
were detailed daily from administrative support personnel provided by the
30th Infantry Division (Mech) and the Non-Division Troop Command.

1. General.
a. Situation. On 2 September 1968 a privately owned rest home re-
ported to the Sheriff of Bladen County NC that one of its female patients
was missing. The Sheriff requested assistance from the Governor of North
Carolina to search a large thick wooded marshy area near the rest home
for this person. Governor Dan Moore ordered the National Guard to render
the requested assistance. A task force from the 1st Bn 252d Armor
NCARNG was given this mission. After all probable areas had been
thoroughly searched but with negative results, the search was terminated,
and the Guardsmen released from State duty.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location: 030900 September
1968 through 041605 September 1968 in the wooded area off NC Highway
242 about 6 miles southwest of Elizabethtown NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved': 148 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized: All issued equipment was
used as appropriate.
e. Type duty performed: Military support to civil authorities to aid
in the search for a missing person.
f. Commander of troops: LTC Harold A. Waldron, Commanding Offi-
cer, 1st Bn 252d Armor NCARNG.
2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. There was no formal prior planning for this
operation as the units concerned did not know of the mission until the
mobilization order was received. Personnel were alerted for duty by the
procedures established in the unit alert plans. While the personnel were
in the process of assembling at their armories, plans were formulated and
coordinated with the Sheriff's Department of Bladen County.
b. Execution phase. This operation was conducted under battalion
control. An organized search was directed throughout a three square mile
area of marshy woodland near the rest home that included much dense
undergrowth and some cultivated fields of com and soybeans. No evidence
concerning the missing woman or her whereabouts was discovered. The
search was terminated at the end of the second day of searching by the
Sheriff of Bladen County.

search. Additional briefings were conducted whenever deemed ncessary or
appropriate.
4. Logistics.
a. Communications equipment: Tank companies are not issued appro-
priate radio equipment for this type operation. By using the issued radio
equipment in the headquarters company of their battalion, the tank com-
panies were able to establish internal radio communications. However,
radio communications with the civilian agency directing the search opera-
tion was no't' -existent due to the inability of the Guard equipment to net
with the civilian equipment. This deficiency caused several time lags in the
coordination of this joint operation.
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue: None.
c. Equipment lost/damaged: None.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel: In this type operation personnel who are familiar with
the terrain in the search area were utilized to the maximum.
b. Operations: None.
c. Training and organization: None.
d. Intelligence: Close cooperation and coordination with civil authori-
ties is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of a military support
to civil authorities mission.
Report of The Adjutant General 75

a. Situation: On 31 December 1968 Mrs. Dayton Coleman of Ash NC
was reported as missing from her home. The Sheriff of Brunswick County
requested assistance from the Governor of North Carolina to aid in the
search for this person. Governor Dan Moore ordered the National Guard to
render the requested assistance. A task force from the 1st Bn (Mech) 120th
Inf NCARNG was given this mission. Their search in and around the
designated areas produced negative results. The search was terminated
after three days. Mrs. Coleman, a mental patient, was found on 4 January
1969 in a barn that had been thoroughly searched twice during the search
operation. She was fully dressed and not suffering from exposure. Due to
her unstable mental condition, she was admitted to a State mental hospital

a. Situation: On 15 January 1969 the Sheriff of Franklin County NC
received a report that Brooks Merritt of the Moulton Community had been
missing from his home since about 102130 January 1969. All searches
proved fruitless, so the sheriff requested military assistance from the
Governor of North Carolina. He desired the heavy w^ooded areas near the
Merritt home to be searched for clues. Governor Scott ordered National
Guardsmen to render the requested assistance. Personnel from the 5th Bn
113th Arty conducted a thorough search at arms length throughout the
designated areas with negative results. After this search was completed,
officials stated there was little hope of finding any clues in these areas and
terminated the National Guard assignment.

2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase: The planning phase of this operation ex-
tended over several days. In order to have maximum participation with
minimum disturbance to the individual Guardsman's civilian occupation, it
was decided to conduct the search on the Sunday following receipt of the
mobilization order. Individuals to participate in the search were notified
by mail to report at 020800 February 1969 for this duty. Search patterns
were established, transportation and messing arrangements developed, and
overall plans were completed prior to the time of assembly.

Report of The Adjutant General
b. Execution phase: This operation was conducted under battalion
control from conception to termination. The battalion was able to follow
the plans that had been formulated prior to the day of execution. The
search plan was followed with negative results. The entire operation func-
tioned smoothly even though rainy weather persisted throughout this phase
of the operation. This inclement weather did not impede the search or other
areas of the execution phase.
c. Post-operation phase: All personnel were engaged in maintenance
of equipment in order to bring it back to the required military standards
of readiness.

e. Troop information: A thorough briefing on the mission and the
plan of operation was conducted for all personnel prior to beginning the
search. Additional briefings were conducted whenever deemed necessary or
appropriate.
4. Logistics.
a. Communications equipment: Issued communications equipment was
used throughout the operation with good internal results. However, radio
communications with members of the Franklin County Sheriff's Depart-
ment was non-existent* due to our equipment not being able to net with
theirs. Often this deficiency caused a time lag in the search operation.
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue: None.
c. Equipment lost/damaged: None.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel: None.
b. Operations: Whenever and wherever possible the use of a TOE unit
to handle this type mission achieves better results due to the maintenance
of unit integrity. Staff personnel know the capabilities and abilities of their
Report of The Adjutant General 81
own units better than attached units. This factor saves time and enhances
the assignment of specific tasks to the properly oriented unit.
c. Training and organization: Units that do not have qualified organic
medical personnel and equipment should have medical personnel and equip-
ment attached when it becomes necessary for the unit to perform its duty
in rough terrain areas.
d. Intelligence: Close cooperation and coordination with civilian
authorities is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of a military
support to civil authorities mission.
e. Logistics: The lack of radio equipment that will net with civilian
communications equipment continues to be a problem whenever the Nation-
al Guard and civilian agencies participate in a joint operation.
f. Public affairs: This type operation promotes good will between
the community and the National Guard. Much favorable publicity was re-
ceived by the National Guard for its participation in this search even
though the missing person or a clue to his whereabouts was not discovered.
g. Other: None.

1. General.
a. Situation: On 10 February 1969 a group of white and Negro radical
students at Duke University, Durham NC, presented a list containing thir-
teen demands to the university president. Dr. Douglas Knight. These de-
mands concerned special considerations to be given the Negro students at
Duke. At 130730 February 1969 about thirty Negro students seized control
of Allen Building, central records office for the school. At 1530 hours that
day the administration of the university issued an order for the protestors
to clear the building in one hour or face arrest.. To reinforce the Duke
Security Police, university officials requested assistance from the City of
Durham Police Department and State Highway Patrol. When the protestors
did not leave the building on time, a new ultimatum was issued to clear the
building by 1750 hours. When the students again refused to leave, the law
enforcement agencies moved to clear the building. The protestors left the
building by another door. As the police attempted to seal off the building
the crowd of students outside the building now numbering about 2,000 be-
gan throwing rocks and sticks. Tear gas was employed but the wind was
not favorable and dampened effectiveness of the gas. Five policemen and
twenty students were injured as the mob of students was dispersed. A
three-day boycott of classes by all students was requested by the Afro-
American Society, an organization of militant Negro students at Duke.
The boycott was not too successful as such, but it caused tension to con-
tinue. In order to control this massive display of civil disobedience, uni-
versity officials also requested military assistance from Governor Robert
W. Scott. He ordered the National Guard to render the requested assistance.
A task force was mobilized while the building was being evacuated but
never committed since the violent part of this disturbance terminated
with the removal of the students from the building. This task force served
as a stand-by reserve until the overall situation was considered normal.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location: 131630 February
1969 through 161840 February 1969 at Durham NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved: 965 officers
and enlisted men.
Report of The Adjutant General

d. Military equipment, by type, utilized: All issued equipment was
used as appropriate.
e. Type of duty performed: Military support to civil authorities due
to a civil disturbance.
f. Commander of troops: COL Ford L. Davis, Commanding Officer,
30th Inf Div (Mech) SUPCOM NCARNG.
2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase: Prior planning for participation in this
particular operation was almost non-existent as this demonstration was of
a spontaneous nature. When the National Guard was ordered to mobilize,
the units to be employed were alerted by procedures established by AGDNC
OPLAN 2 and AGDNCPam 500-60 as augumented by directives from subor-
dinate headquarters.
b. Execution phase: This operation was conducted under the area
task force concept according to the procedures set forth in AGDNC OPLAN
2. Various units were assembled at the Durham armory to be deployed at
nearby Duke University. The National Guard was not committed to the
scene of the disturbance as the law enforcement agencies were able to re-
store law and order without their assistance. Since the disturbance and
the attempted class boycott increased tension in the area, the Guardsmen
remained on duty as a back-up force for the law enforcement agencies.
While in this status, much time was devoted to the conducting of riot con-
trol training.
c. Post-operation phase: This phase of the operation was conducted
according to the procedures established by AGDNPam 500-60 as augmented
by directives from the concerned subordinate headquarters. All personnel
were engaged in maintenance of equipment in order to return it to the re-
quired military standards of readiness.

b. Non-National Guard forces involved: Law enforcement agencies
from the City of Durham, County of Durham, Duke University, and State
of North Carolina plus FBI and MI Det, HQ, Third US Army.
c. Special services: Newspapers, radios, books, magazines, and TV
sets were available for use by off-duty personnel at the billeting area.
d. Casualties: One enlisted man from Co A 130th Sig Bn cracked a
bone in his foot when he slipped on the ice that had formed on the back
porch at the armory.
e. Troop information: All personnel were briefed on the legal liabil-
ities, the rules of engagement, and degrees of force applicable to civil dis-
turbance operation.
4. Logistics.
a. Communications equipment: Direct commercial telephone lines were
installed between the armory and the Durham Police Department. Issued
equipment was used to the best extent possible but reliance on police and
civilian radios was mandatory to achieve successful communications with
the troops in the field.
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue:
(1) Disperser, Riot Control, M5, mounted on Truck, Cargo, 3/4
Ton, with protective shields constructed at local expense from HHC 30th
Inf Div (Mech) NCARNG.
(2) Two each Carriers, Personnel, Armored (APC) from 1st Bn
252d Armor NCARNG.
c. Equipment lost/damaged: None.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel: None.
b. Operations: This operation revealed that the staff of the AGDNC
EOC can effectively function on a reduced strength basis. The full staff
was employed from the beginning and as the operation progressed it be-
came more and more obvious that a smaller staff would be more efficient
in this type operation. A reduced staff will be utilized in such future
operations.
c. Training and organization: Staff personnel should be cross-trained
so that when the reduced staff is used, all jobs can be represented. Due to
the similarity of the staff job requirements for a civil disturbance opera-
tion, the cross-training of personnel is a minor problem.
d. Intelligence: Close cooperation and coordination with civilian law
enforcement agencies is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of
civil disturbance missions.
Report of The Adjutant General 85
e. Logistics: Adequate radio equipment that will properly function
in a civil disturbance operation continues to be one of our biggest problem
areas.
f. Public affairs: Adequate coverage by the AG Public Affairs Teams
in accordance with procedures established by AGDNCR 360-1.
g. Other: None.

1. General.
a. Situation. Two individuals left by boat to go fishing near Plymouth
NC at or about 281600 February 1969. When they did not return within a
reasonable time, a search was started. Their boat was found at or about
282330 February 1969 with a large hole in the bow. An all-out search began
on 1 March 1969. No trace of the missing individuals had been uncovered
by 5 March 1969. The Sheriff of Bertie County then requested assistance
from the Governor of North Carolina. He requested that National Guard
troops aid by conducting a land search on the island near where the dam-
aged boat was found. The island was mostly under water, and the indi-
viduals' families had requested that this 1500 acre tract of land be searched.
Due to water current action in this area, it was felt that the bodies could
have been washed onto the island during high tides. The search revealed
no evidence of the bodies or anything else useful.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location. 050900 March 1969
through 061430 March 1969 at Rice Patch Island where the Roanoke River
empties into Albemarle Sound about 6 miles north northeast of Plymouth
NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved. 87 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized. All issued equipment other
than weapons was used as appropriate.
e. Type duty performed. Military support to civil authorities to aid
in the search for two missing persons.
f. Commander of troops. CPT Kenneth L. Stalls, Commanding Officer,
Co C 1st Bn (Mech) 119th Inf NCARNG.
2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. Liaison officers from HHC 1st Bn (Mech)
119th Inf NCARNG represented The Adjutant General of North Carolina
at a meeting with the Sheriff of Bertie County concerning the use of
National Guard Personnel in the search operation. It was decided that
90 Report of The Adjutant General
National Guard assistance was needed to conduct a search on Rice Patch
Island and so this recommendation was made to The Adjutant General.
Approval was given by Governor Scott and at 051025 March 1969 a task
force was ordered into action from elements of the 1st Bn 119th Inf
NCARNG. The personnel of the selected units were so notified by putting
their unit alert plans into action. By 051415 March 1969 the task force had
been assembled, briefed, and were on the way to the search area.
b. Execution phase. The search was conducted on the island by
forming the men in a line formation with approximately 5 feet between
each man. The north end of the island seized as a guide for the first sweep.
A tape was installed along the south boundary of the first sweep and also
served as a guide for the next sweep. The entire island was searched by
mid-day on 6 March 1969 at which time the Sheriff of Bertie County ad-
vised the National Guardsmen that they had completed their mission. Just
as the men were preparing for a new mission, searching the river shoreline,
word was received that the body of one of the missing persons had been
found in the river. The Guardsmen departed the search area after the dis-
covery, as it was assumed the other body would be so found. It was dis-
covered the next week in the water not too far from where the first body
was found.
c. Post-operation phase. All personnel were engaged in maintenance
of equipment in order to return it to the required military standards of
readiness.

Report of The Adjutant General 91
e. Troop information. A thoroug-h briefing on the mission and the
plan of operation was conducted for all personnel prior to beginning the
search. Additional briefings were conducted whenever deemed necessary or
appropriate.
4. Logistics.
a. Communications equipment. Issued communications equipment was
used throughout the operation with very good internal results. However,
radio communications with other governmental agencies was non-existent
due to our equipment not being able to net with theirs. This deficiency
often caused a time lag in the search operation.
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue. Several pairs of
rubber boots from North Carolina Highway Commission.
c. Equipment lost/damaged. None.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel. None.
b. Operations. Complete instructions and proper organization for
the mission should be accomplished prior to departure from home station.
This presents the National Guard unit to the news media and spectators as
an effective organization when they arrive at the scene of action. By
making the necessary adjustments and prompt issuing of appropriate com-
mands at the destination point, this task force created a favorable impres-
sion when they arrived in the search area.
c. Training and organization. See preceding subparagraph 5b.
d. Intelligence. Close cooperation and coordination with civilian au-
thorities is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of a military sup-
port to civil authorities mission.
e. Logistics. The lack of issued radio equipment that will net with
civilian communications equipment continues to be a problem whenever the
National Guard and civilian agencies participate in a joint operation. Also,
there is a great need for certain individual winter clothing items. At pres-
ent the individual Guardsman must furnish certain items of winter cloth-
ing such as liners for field jackets and OG type unifoi-ms with accessories
if he desires to keep himself warm while participating in these type
missions.
f. Public affairs. The favorable impression this highly organized
task force created at the search area served to increase the prestige of the
National Guard. It is not often that the National Guard has the oppor-
tunity to reveal its organizational capability to the general public in times
of strife; therefore, it is most gratifying when a National Guard unit
presents itself to the public in such a way to receive praise rather than
abuse while in the performance of a most undesirable type duty.
g. Other. None.

1. General.
a. Situation. During the month of February 1969 a number of em-
ployees of Lenoir Dining Hall at the University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hill went on strike. Leaders of the Black Student movement and
Southern Students Organizing Committee, a white radical group, injected
themselves into the dispute. During the evening meal on 4 March 1969
a number of these dissenters blocked the dining hall's serving lines, pro-
voked fist fights, and overturned several tables and chairs. The university
officials ordei-ed the dining hall closed and announced it would not reopen
on 5 March 1969. Since this university is a state supported school and the
Governor of North Carolina is Chairman of the Board of Trustees thereto.
Governor Scott ordered that Lenoir Dining Hall would be reopened on 5
March 1969. The school officials did not comply with the Governor's order
on 5 March 1969 as they said they were afraid of causing trouble. Gover-
nor Scott ordered 100 State Highway Patrolmen into Chapel Hill with or-
ders that Lenoir Dining Hall would reopen on 6 March 1969. At the same
time he ordered The Adjutant General to mobilize a task force at the Dur-
ham NC National Guard Armory to move into Chapel Hill in the event the
law enforcement agencies needed assistance. The dining hall reopened on
6 March 1969 and no major incidents were reported. Since the National
Guard was not needed in this operation, the task force was deactivated on
7 March 1969.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location. 051700 March 1969
through 071540 March 1969 at Durham NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved. 603 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized. All issued equipment was
used as appropriate.
e. Type of duty performed. Military support to civil authorities due
to a civil disturbance.
f. Commander of troops. LTC Clifton E. Blalock, Jr., Commanding
Officer, 130th Sig Bn NCARNG.
Report of The Adjutant General

2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. The situation at Chapel Hill did not indicate
that National Guard forces would be needed; therefore, very little planning
for this operation was accomplished until late in the afternoon of 5 March
1969. When the Governor issued the mobilization order, the units to be em-
ployed were alerted by procedures established by AGDNC OPLAN 2 and
AGDNCPam 500-60. The alert plans of the affected units received thorough
operational tests with excellent results.
b. Execution phase. This operation was conducted under the area
concept plan as established by AGDNC OPLAN 2. A task force was formed
with the 130th Sig Bn furnishing the bulk of the manpower and equipment.
The task force remained at the Durham armory throughout the problem
period, ready to deploy preselected elements to the trouble area about 10
miles away on a moment's notice. The size of this force on immediate avail-
ability status was a deterrent factor in the mob's hostile action and is felt
had much to do with the relief of a tense situation.
c. Post-operation phase. This phase of the operation was conducted
according to the procedures established by AGDNCPam 500-60 as aug-
mented by directives from subordinate headquarters. All personnel were
engaged in maintenance of equipment in order to return it to the required
military standards of readiness.

March 1969 from an acute myocardial infraction due to coronary occlusion.
One enlisted man in HHD 130th Sig Bn received a head injury that re-
quired three stitches when struck by a falling gas can at the motor pool.
One enlisted man in Co A 130th Sig Bn received an injury that required
two stitches when struck in the face with a Ml rifle while practicing off and

on truck loading. One enlisted man in HHD 130th Sig Bn required medical
attention due to the tension created by the sudden death of the warrant
officer who was his best friend.
e. Troop information. All personnel were briefed on the legal liabil-
ities peculiar to civil disturbance operations and given a review on the
rules of engagement and degrees of force applicable to this type mission.
4. Logistics.
a. Communications equipment. Since troops were not committed in
the field, the issued equipment was considered to be adequate. Past ex-
perience has proven that we must rely on police and civilian radios to
maintain successful contact with the units in the field due to the nature
of this type operation.
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue.
(1) Disperser, Riot Control, M5, mounted on Truck, Cargo, 3/4
Ton, with protective shields constructed at local expense from HHC 30th
Inf Div (Mech) NCARNG.
(2) Four each Carriers, Personnel, Armored (APC) from 2d Bn
252d Armor NCARNG.
(3) Floodlight set mounted on Truck, Cargo, 2% Ton, with pro-
tective shields constructed at local expense from HHC & Band 30th Inf

5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel. None.
b. Operations. None.
c. Training and organization. None.
d. Intelligence. Close cooperation and coordination with civilian law
enforcement agencies is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of
a civil disturbance mission.
e. Logistics. Procurement of rations for the next meal in the terminal
phases of an operation creates a problem. Due to the time frame necessary
to secure the components and to prepare a meal, the unit supply and mess
personnel are often placed in an undesirable position of not being able to
accomplish their mission properly. Solutions to this problem are now being
staffed at this headquarters to determine the best course of action to reme-
dy this deficiency.

1. General.
a. Situation. On the night of 11 March 1969 about 200 "students"
from Duke University and 200 "students" from North Carolina College
held a rally in the heart of downtown Durham NC. This rally was held to
demonstrate for their demands to have a Black Studies program at Duke
University. When the rally ended at about 2030 hours, approximately half
of the demonstrators started a massive display of violence by breaking out
over 25 large plate glass windows in some downtown businesses, damaging
city buses, and uttering vile and abusive language. The mayor of Durham
ordered a city curfew for the next night and requested assistance from the
Governor of North Carolina when intelligence reports indicated that the
demonstrations would be much larger and more violent than on 11 March
1969. Governor Scott ordered the North Carolina National Guard to render
the requested military assistance. During the night of 12 March 1969, the
National Guardsmen assisted the Durham Police Department in enforcing
the curfew. While this operation was in progress, the National Guard units
in Durham were placed on a stand-by status to assist in the removal of
certain Negro students from Manning Hall at the University of North
Carolina in nearby Chapel Hill. No guardsmen participated in the Chapel
Hill operation as the State Highway Patrol along with assistance from the
Local law enforcement agencies removed these students from the build-
ing. The curfew continued in Durham on the night of 13 March 1969 and
ended on 14 March. By 15 March 1969 all personnel involved in this opera-
tion had been released from State active duty. Over 150 persons were ar-
rested for curfew violations during the two night curfew.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location. 121305 March 1969
through 151600 March 1969 a.t Durham NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved. 660 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized. All issued equipment was
used as appropriate.
e. Type of duty performed. Military support to civil authorities due
to a civil disturbance.

Report of The Adjutant General
f. Commander of troops. LTC James C. Kannan, Jr., Commanding
Officer, 730th Maint Bn NCARNG.
2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. Liaison officers from the Military Support
to Civil Authorities Section, this department, represented The Adjutant
General of North Carolina at a conference with the mayor and other city
officials of Durham on the morning of 12 March 1969. Intelligence reports
were studied and it was decided at this meeting that it was necessary to
place the city under curfew restrictions that night and request military
assistance from the North Carolina National Guard. The request was made
by the liaison officer to The Adjutant General via long distance telephone.
When word was received that the Governor had honored the request, the
National Guard units to be employed were alerted by procedures estab-
lished by AGDNC OPLAN 2 and AGDNCPam 500-60 as augmented by
directives from subordinate headquarters concerning State active duty.
b. Execution phase. This operation was conducted under the area
concept plan as established by AGDNC OPLAN 2. A task force was formed
with the 730th Maint Bn furnishing the bulk of the manpower and equip-
ment. While this task force was handling the situation in Durham, the
nucleus of the Area B headquarters was mobilized for possible duty in
nearby Chapel Hill. When the tense situation at Chapel Hill terminated,
most of these additional forces were integrated with the Durham task
force and so employed until the mission was accomplished.
c. Post-operation phase. This phase of the operation was conducted
according to the procedures established by AGDNCPam 500-60 as aug-
mented by directives from subordinate headquarters. All personnel were
engaged in maintenance of equipment in order to return it to the required
military standards of readiness.

sets were available for use by off-duty personnel at the billeting area.
d. Casualties. None.
e. Troop information. All personnel were briefed on the legal liabil-
ities peculiar to civil disturbance operations and given a review on the
rules of engagement and degrees of force applicable in this mission.
4. Logistics.
a. Comunications equipment. Direct commercial telephone lines were
used between the City of Durham EOC and the National Guard CP. Since
most issued communications equipment is obsolete, reliance on police and
civilian radios was mandatory to achieve successful radio communications
with the troops in the field.
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue.
(1) Disperser, Riot Control, M5, mounted on Truck, Cargo, 3/4
Ton, with protective shields constructed at local expense from HHC 30th
Inf Div (Mech) NCARNG.
(2) Four each Carriers, Personnel, Armored (APC), from 1st Bn

(4) Searchlight mounted on Truck, Utility, 1/4 Ton, from HHC &
Band 30th Inf Div (Mech) SUPCOM NCARNG.
c. Equipment lost/damaged. None.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel. None.
b. Operations. This operation was conducted under the area concept
plan established by AGDNC OPLAN 2. Although it was not necessary, the
operational machinery was ready in case a multi-employment situation de-
veloped in Durham and Chapel Hill.
c. Training and organization. Some service headquarters units do
not have organic staffs that function best in this type operation. The main-
tenance battalion is such a unit. This deficiency became more noticeable
as this operation lengthened. While they performed to the best of their
ability and rendered a commendable performance of duty, it is felt that
line headquarters units are best suited for this specific mission. Such units
will be so designated in the future if available and the situation so war-
rants their employment.
d. Intelligence. Close cooperation and coordination with civilian law
enforcement agencies is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of
a civil disturbance mission.
98 Report of The Adjutant General
e. Logistics. As these type operations are conducted almost on an
hourly basis, some problems have arisen on the procurement of rations for
the next meal. In order to correct this problem, The Adjutant General has
authorized purchase of rations for the meal if he or his representative has
not notified the commander of the troops to cease operations four hours
prior to the next scheduled meal. This authority vi^ill be incorporated into
AGDNCPam 500-60 as a change thereto in the near future.
f. Public affairs. None.
g. Other. None.

1. General.
a. Situation. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)
sponsored a "poor people's" march from Asheville NC to Raleigh NC. This
march terminated in Raleigh on 18 April 1969 and was under the direction
of Golden Frinks, a SCLC official in eastern North Carolina. Frinks issued
numerous outrageous demands to the City of Raleigh while the march was
in progress. These demands soon became threats and were of such a mali-
cious nature that the city officials requested military assistance from the
Governor of North Carolina to pi-event an outbreak of civil disobedience
when the march reached Raleigh. Governor Scott ordered the North Caro-
lina National Guard to render the requested assistance to the City of Ral-
eigh. With the National Guard on the scene, the threats and the march
termination ceremonies turned into a complete flop. No outbreak occurred
and the National Guard was released from duty on 19 April 1969.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location. 180800 April 1969
through 192245 April 1969 at Raleigh NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved. 452 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized. All issued equipment was
used as appropriate.
e. Type duty performed. Military support to civil authorities to pre-
vent a civil disturbance.
f. Commander of troops. COL Ferd L. Davis, Commanding Officer,
30th Inf Div (Mech) SUPCOM NCARNG.
2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. Liaison officers from the Military Support
to Civil Authorities Section, this department, along with staff officers
from Area B headquarters represented The Adjutant General of North Car-
olina at the Raleigh Police Department during all planning conferences
prior to 18 April 1969. When the Governor ordered the National Guard to
100
Report of The Adjutant General
render assistance to the city, the units to be employed were alerted by pro-
cedures established by AGDNC OPLAN 2 and AGDNCPam 500-60 as aug-
mented by directives from subordinate headquarters concerning State ac-
tive duty.
b. Execution phase. This operation was conducted under the area
concept plan as established by AGDNC OPLAN 2. Various units were
formed into a composite task force under the command of the predesig-
nated commander for Area B. The presence of this force within the city
was all that was needed to stop the threat of a major civil disturbance by
the SCLC mob. The National Guard was never committed to the streets as
the situation did not deteriorate to warrant their employment.
c. Post-operation phase. This phase of the operation was conducted
according to the procedures established by AGDNCPam 500-60 as aug-
mented by directives from subordinate headquarters. All personnel were
engaged in maintenance of equipment in order to have it brought to the
required military standards of readiness.

4. Logistics.
a. Communications equipment. Since there was no actual deploy-
ment of troops, the issued communications equipment was adequate. Ad-
ditional commercial telephones were installed in the billeting areas and a
direct telephone line between Raleigh Police Department and the Area B
Command Post. It is felt that these additional telephone lines would have
been sufficient if the units had been committed.
Report of The Adjutant General 101
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue.
(1) Disperser, Riot Control, M5, mounted on Truck, Cargo, 3/4
Ton, with protective shields constructed at local expense from HHC 30th
Inf Div (Mech) NCARNG.
(2) Three each Carriers, Personnel, Armored (APC), from 1st
Bn 252d Armor NCARNG.
c. Equipment lost/damaged. None.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel. None.
b. Operations. Since the actual date of possible trouble was estab-
lished long: before the National Guard was ordered to State active duty,
most detail planning had been accomplished when the alert was received.
Unfortunately most civil disturbance outbreaks do not allow such an ex-
tended period of time for preparations. This operation allowed the Nation-
al Guard to accomplish its mission with a minimum of effort due to the
lengthy planning phase.
c. Training and organization. The units assigned to Area B by
AGDNC OPLAN 2 are light in combat type troops. This operation again
showed this deficiency as it was necessary to place an infantry unit from
Area C in the task force. OPLAN 2 will be revised to correct this deficiency
in the near future.
d. Intelligence. Close cooperation and coordination with civilian law
enforcement agencies is mandatoiy for the successful accomplishment of
any mission in civil disturbance operations.
e. Logistics. Since troops were not actually committed in this opera-
tion and due to the long preparation period, logistical problems were al-
most non-existent.
f. Public affairs. None.
g. Other. None.

a. Situation. Sporadic acts of arson, looting, sniping, and rioting oc-
curred in the City of Winston-Salem during the night of 27 and 28 April
1969. To prevent a major outbreak of civil disobedience, the city officials
requested military assistance from the Governor of North Carolina in
order to enact a curfew. A National Guard task force was ordered into
the city by the Governor, and the curfew was imposed and enforced on 29
and 30 April 1969. Indications that the civil disturbance was under con-
trol allowed the National Guard to revert to their normal mission on 1
May 1969.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location. 291300 April 1969
through 011100 May 1969 at Winston-Salem NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved. 162 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized. All issued equipment was
used as appropriate.
e. Type of duty performed. Military support to civil authorities due

2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. Liaison officers from HHC 230th Sup &
Trans Bn NCARNG represented The Adjutant General of North Carolina at
the Winston-Salem Emergency Operations Center on 27-28 April 1969 to
formulate plans for the maintenance of law and order in that city. The
Winston-Salem Police Department was given the mission to enforce the
curfew on the city. Due to the large area in the city to be sealed off, city
officials requested military assistance from the State of North Carolina.
Governor Scott ordered the National Guard to render the requested assis-
tance. The 230th Sup & Trans Bn NCARNG was given the mission to fur-
nish a 150 man task force. The units were alerted by procedures establish-
ed by AGDNC OPLAN 2 and AGDNCPam 500-60 as augmented by the
230th Sup & Trans Bn alert plans for State active duty.

b. Execution phase. This operation was conducted as a battalion task
force operation according to procedures set forth in AGDNC OPLAN 2.
Since nearly all personnel involved in this operation were from the same
battalion, the operation was conducted as a battalion operation under battal-
ion control. Shifts were established with personnel manning predetermined
posts in conjunction with the Winston-Salem Police Department during
the hours of darkness on 29-30 April 1969. All personnel were relieved from
patrol and barricade duty at 010200 May 1969 as the situation was declared
to be under control by the city officials.
c. Post-operation phase. This phase of the operation was conducted
according to the procedures established by AGDNPam 500-60 as augmented
by battalion directives. All personnel were engaged in maintenance of

(b) Launchers, Grenade, 40mm, M79.
(c) Shotgun, Riot Type, 12 Gauge,
c. Equipment lost/damaged. None.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel. A 150 man task force was requested for this operation
by the city officials. Later it was found that the size of the force needed
for curfew duty was 150. This left no personnel for support and internal
security purposes. This problem was quickly resolved by assigning fewer
personnel to duty stations. In future operations support personnel require-
ments will be developed at the time that line commitments are determined
to insure that we have enough personnel to handle all phases of our
operation.
b. Operations. Since only troops from one battalion were involved,
this operation was conducted as a battalion operation with no major prob-
lems being encountered.
c. Training and organization. All personnel had recently received
the required sixteen hours training on civil disturbance operations which
is considered adequate. Due to the infrequency of using this type training,
the appropriate points of riot control techniques were given the troops as
a refresher prior to actual commitment.
d. Intelligence. Close cooperation and coordination with civilian law
enforcement agencies is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of
civil disturbance missions.
e. Logistics. Inadequate communications equipment is one big prob-
lem area. It is often necessary to rely on civilian radio equipment to have
dependable radio communications.
f. Public affairs. Publicity was extremely favorable in all media. No
problems were encountered.
e. Other. None.

1. General.
a. Situation. On 161500 May 1969 about 200 young Negroes staged a
demonstration at the City of Burlington school administration building to
protest an election at Walter Williams High School because no Negroes
were elected as cheerleaders. The demonstration quickly got out of control
as outside agitators encouraged the students to storm the building. Once
inside the youths upset desks, tossed objects out the windows, and thor-
oughly littered the offices. City police cleared the building and made six-
teen arrests. As tension and unrest increased in the city. Governor R. W.
Scott ordered the State Highway Patrol and National Guard into Burling-
ton to aid the local authorities. An outburst of violence including sniper fire
at or about 162200 May 1969 made it necessary to commit the National
Guard force to help clear the area. Several other outbursts of violence oc-
curred during the night of 16 May 1969 with one Negro youth being killed
and several police officers and Negroes injured. Curfew violations on 17
May 1969 resulted in 203 persons being arrested and 47 persons on 18 May
1969. The situation became dormant on 19 May 1969 with all National
Guard units being released from duty by 21 May 1969.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location. 161845 May 1969
through 210815 May 1969 at Burlington NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved. 502 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized. All issued equipment was

2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. Liaison 'officers from AGDNC and 130th Sig
Bn NCARNG met with Burlington city officials to formulate plans and
keep The Adjutant General of North Carolina informed on the current

Report of The Adjutant General
situation. When the Governor of North Carolina ordered the National
Guard to render assistance to the City of Burlington for this emergency,
units were alerted according to procedures set forth in AGDNC OPLAN 2
and AGDNCPam 500-60 and as augmented by battalion and company di-
rectives for State active duty.
b. Execution phase. This operation was conducted as a task force
operation according to AGDNC OPLAN 2. Since most of the units and
personnel were from the 130th Sig Bn, execution of this operation closely
resembled a battalion operation. Close coordination and cooperation with
the other involved governmental agencies was in effect at all times. The
130th Sig Bn has participated in more of these type operations than any
other unit in the NCNG, and they used their accumulated experiences to
their best advantage.
c. Post-operations phase. This phase was conducted according to the
procedures established by AGDNCPam 500-60 and as augmented by battal-
ion and company directives. All personnel were engaged in maintenance
of weapons and equipment in order to return them to the required military
standards of readiness.

c. Equipment lost/damaged. Transformer on jeep-mounted search-
light from Co B 730th Maint Bn burned out. A replacement transformer
has been requisitioned but has not been received to date.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel. None.
b. Operations. Past experience revealed that this type operation does
not require a staff as large as the classic combat situation. The battalion
headquarters functioned adequately on a reduced strength basis.
c. Training and organization. The abbreviated battalion staff func-
tioned well as the task force headquarters.
d. Intelligence. Close cooperation and coordination with civilian law
enforcement agencies is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of
any mission in civil disturbance operations.
e. Logistics. Communications equipment continues to be one of our
biggest problem areas. Our equipment just does not function efficiently in
cities. Also, we are experiencing trouble in securing a transformer to re-
place the one that burned out of the jeep-mounted searchlight. Individual
body armor is needed for our special teams personnel as they are usually
exposed to sniper fire and/or missiles thrown by the rioters

1. General.
a. Situation: BG Roy E. Thompson contacted LTC William G. Waters
Jr., Battalion Commander, at 1305 hours 10 April 1970 and informed him
that a request had been submitted for National Guard assistance in con-
ducting- a missing persons search. LTC Waters was instructed to contact
local authorities and determine how many troops, if any, would be required
also he was instructed to determine if the search would even be required.
A meeting was quickly held with local authorities and it was determined
that approximately 100 Guardsmen would be required. LTC Waters reported
to BG Thompson and informed him that the situation was beyond the capa-
bilities of the local officials and that National Guard assistance of approxi-
mately 100 men should be sufficient to conduct the search. LTC Waters in-
formed BG Thompson of this fact and requested permission to alert HHD,
690th Maint Bn (-Staff) and the 696th Hv Equip Maint Co (-) both
stationed in Kinston. Permission was received at 1430 hours and the Alert
Plans of the two units were initiated.
b. Starting and ending date, time and location: Order to alert troops
was received at 1430 hours on Friday 10 April 1970 at Kinston, NC. The
main body was released at 2400 hours on 10 April and the balance being
released at 1200 hours on 11 April 1970.

Report of The Adjutant General 111
2. Operations:
a. Planning/ Alert Phase: Unit Alert Plans were utilized in the mobi-
lization of the units concerned. No problems were encountered and the
plans worked.
b. Execution Phase: At 1600 hours the first contingent of troops was
dispatched to the search area, arriving at 1630 hours. LTC Waters assumed
command of the search and rescue opei'ation, made an initial reconnaissance
of the area pointed out to him as the most probable for this missing per-
son to be in, assigned search areas to the sweep parties and ordered them
into the woods at 1700 hrs. The search continued until dark (1900 hours) at
which time the sweep parties were fed chow and ordered to establish posts
and fires at strategic locations throughout the area of operations in the
hope that the lost person would see the fires and come to one of them. At
about this same time two of the sheriff's deputies put a boat into the mill
pond around which the search area was and went to the head of it. Upon
arriving they heard and saw the missing person, loaded him into the boat
and brought him out at 2130 hours. He was cold and hungry, but otherwise
returned in good condition. LTC Waters reassembled his search parties,
returned to the unit armory, reported to LTC Hodgin the successful com-
pletion of the operation and requested twenty (20) men per unit for duty
the following day to perform maintenance and storage duty. The troops
were dismissed at 2400 hours 10 April 1970 with the exception of the forty
(40) maintenance men who were dismissed at 1200 hours the following day.
c. Post-Operation Phase: Twenty (20) members from each unit
were retained after the release of the main body to be utilized in cleaning,
maintenance and storage of equipment utilized in the operation.

1. General.
a. Situation. On or about 12 May 1969 officials at Dudley High
School in the City of Greensboro announced that one of the student candi-
dates would not be allowed to seek the office of student body pi'esident.
Outside Negro agitators immediately claimed that the candidate was dis-
qualified because of his activity in their militant organizations. Student
demonstrations increased in tempo until 21 May 1969 until they were almost
out of control. School officials then disclosed that the candidate had been
disqualified because he was not academically qualified. The agitators re-
fused to accept this explanation, and the demonstrations increased to such
a magnitude that the civil authorities asked for military assistance. By
the time the National Guard arrived on the scene, the student demonstra-
tions had developed into full scale violence including massive sniper fire
around NC A&T University, a nearby predominate Negro state supported
college. The university president ordered his school closed at 211600 May 69
but guerrilla activity increased on such a large scale that Governor R. W.
Scott ordered the National Guard to clear the university of all rioters and
demonstrators. When the rioters did not leave the campus in response to
the ultimatum at 220700 May 1969, the National Guard began clearing the
campus. They encountered sniper fire to include that from automatic wea-
pons. Campus was secured at or about 221000 May 1969. By clearing the
campus of the rioters, the demonstrations came to a halt. Curfew which
had been in eff"ect on the night of 21 May 1969 was continued for the night
of 22 May 1969. By 230900 May 1969 the curfew was lifted when the city
officials decided that the situation had returned to normal.
b. Starting and ending date, time, and location. 211415 May 1969
through 250930 May 1969 at Greensboro NC.
c. Total number of National Guard personnel involved. 735 officers
and enlisted men.
d. Military equipment, by type, utilized. All issued equipment was
used as appropriate. Only small arms weapons were utilized.
e. Type of duty performed. Military support to civil authorities due
to a civil disturbance-
f. Commander of troops. LTC Henry S. Lougee, Provost Marshal,

Report of The Adjutant General
2. Operations.
a. Planning/alert phase. Liaison officers from HHB 30th Inf Div
(Mech) Arty NCARNG represented The Adjutant General of North Caro-
lina in meeting with the city officials of Greensboro in formulating plans to
cope with the tense situation. At the time of these meetings, the NCNG
was rendering military assistance to the city authorities in Burlington due
to a massive civil disturbance in that city. When the Governor of North
Carolina ordered the National Guard to give military assistance to the
City of Greensboro due to their emergency, units were alerted by proce-
dures established by AGDNC OPLAN 2 and AGDNCPam 500-60 and as
augmented by subordinate headquarters.
b. Execution phase. This operation began with a 150 man task force
as the only troops to be deployed. This was a composite force made up of
personnel from several units under the command of the 30th Inf Div (Mech)
NCARNG Provost Marshal. By the time this force was committed the riot
was so severe and wide-spread that several additional units were called
into action. The Provost Marshal assumed overall control of the situation.
Operational control of the troops at NC A & T University was given to the
commander of the 2d Bn (Mech) 120th Inf NCARNG, his battalion being
the major force in that area. A liaison officer from AGDNC handled the
continuous meetings with the city officials. The main CP was established
at the Greensboro National Guard armory. Since this was an around-the-
clock operation, the delegation of authority by the overall commander to
his senior commanders, as appropriate, allowed this operation to receive a
high degree of success as there was a responsible commander available to
give answers immediately to problems as they occurred.
c. Post-operation phase. This phase was conducted according to the
procedures established by AGDNCPam 500-60 and as augmented by sub-
ordinate headquarters.

Report of The Adjutant General 115
b. Non-National Guard forces involved. Law enforcement agencies
from the City of Greensboro, County of Guilford, and State of North Car-
olina plus FBI and MI Det HQ Third US Army.
c. Special services. State of North Carolina provided free laundry
service to all EM at the rate of one fatigue uniform laundried per day of
duty. Newspapers, books, magazines, radios, and TV sets were available
to off-duty personnel at the billeting areas.
d. Casualties. One EM received a gunshot wound in the right arm
during the clearing of NC A & T University campus at 230732 May 1969.
One Negro student was killed and several Greensboro policemen and Negro
students were injured during this civil disturbance.
e. Troop information. All personnel were briefed on the legal as-
pects, rules of engagement, and degrees of force applicable to a civil dis-
turbance operation. Additional oral briefings were conducted throughout
the action whenever deemed necessary or appropriate.
4. Logistics.
a. Communications equipment. Grossly inadequate. Most issued com-
munications equipment is obsolete and is not designed for the type of use
civil disturbance operations require. Again as has been the case in all
recent State active duty operations, reliance on civilian and police radios
was mandatory to achieve any high degree of success in the operation.
b. Special equipment utilized and source of issue.
(1) Four each Carriers, Personnel, Armored (APC) from 2d Bn
252d Armor NCARNG.
(2) Floodlight set mounted on Truck, Cargo, 2V2 Ton, with pro-
tective shields constructed at local expense from HHC & Band 30th Inf
Div (Mech) SUPCOM NCARNG.
(3) Searchlight mounted on Truck, Utility, 1/4 Ton from HHC &
Band 30th Inf Div (Mech) SUPCOM NCARNG.
(4) Rifle, Caliber .30, Snipers, with Scope, M84, MID.
(5) Shotgun, Riot Type, 12 Gauge.
c. Equipment lost/damaged. Several vehicles sustained minor dents
on body and canvas torn from bricks and other missiles thrown by rioters.
Few items of individual equipment were lost. No major items lost.
5. Problem Areas and Lessons Learned.
a. Personnel. None.
b. Operations. Since this operation was on a 24 hour basis, a short-
age developed in the top echelon of leadership. The task force commander
found himself spread entirely too thin. By reassigning specific leadership
responsibilities among his senior officers, this deficiency was partly solved.
Future operations of this type should have more than one senior comman-
der on duty.
116 Report of The Adjutant General
c. Training and organization. Combat type training in built-up areas
that had been received by most personnel in previous training cycles proved
most beneficial. Organizational deficiency was noted in preceding subpara-
graph.
d. Intelligence. Close cooperation and coordination with civilian law
enforcement agencies is mandatory for the successful accomplishment of
any mission in civil disturbance operations.
e. Logistics. Lack of proper type cmmunications equipment con-
tinues to be our biggest problem area for this type operation. Our TOE
equipment is not adequate, and we must rely on the civilian law enforce-
ment agencies' communications equipment to satisfactorily accomplish most
phases of these type missions.
f. Public affairs. This operation demonstrated that small 2 man PA
teams function much better for this type operation than larger teams. The
small teams are able to concentrate on strictly PA problems while the
larger teams, due to their excessive size, often get involved in the operation
itself.
e. Other. None.

e. Type duty performed. The personnel were dispersed in the wooded
area along the banks of the Waccamaw River and searched that area for
the missing person. Personnel were also used in boats along the river for a
three to four mile area. Personnel operating boats used drag hooks in an
effort to snag any object that may be below the water surface of the river.
f. Commander of troops. Captain Joe T. Smith, Jr., Whiteville, N. C.
commanded the troops on 7 October 1969, and ILT Lewis N. Sasser, Shal-

2. Operations.
a. Planning /Alert phase. PSG Sam F. Frink went with the Brunswick
County Sheriff, Mr. Harold Willetts, 6 October 1969 and determined that
men walking the banks and boats with drag hooks would be needed.
b. Execution phase. Upon arrival at the scene the commander of the
troops dispersed the troops and boat operators with instructions to look for
the missing person.

outboard motors and life jackets were procured from members of the Shal-
lotte unit. These items were personal items of the men. Eight (8) boats
and motors were used.
c. Equipment lost/damaged. One life jacket was lost during the two
day period. The jacket was borrowed by the Shallotte Unit and was esti-
mated to be worth around $10.00.
5. Problem Areas and lessons learned.
a. Personnel. No problem was encountered with personnel.
b. Operations. A short delay was experienced due to the unit not
having boats and motors in its possession. These were quickly acquired
through unit personnel and no other problems came up.
c. Training and organization. It is felt that the officers and men
involved were greatly improved since this is the first time either portion
of the unit has ever been involved in searching for a missing person that
was lost in a river.
d. Intelligence. None.
e. Logistics. None.
f. Public affairs. The unit gained much in putting across its public
image as a team of men who are interested in people, public concern, and in
accomplishing a mission. All civilians were greatly impressed with the unit
and its operation.
g. Other. None.
