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 providing
and maintaining those facilities required by the National Guard
in accomplishing its assigned missions. The Commission member-ship
consists of The Governor, The Adjutant General, The At-torney
General and two Federally Recognized Oflficers of the
North Carolina National Guard who are appointed by the Gov-ernor.
The present appointed members are Major General Daniel
K. Edwards and Major Aubrey E. Harrell.
The cost of armory construction is shared by the Federal Gov-ernment,
the State and local governing bodies. Normally the
Federal Government contributes 75% of the construction costs.
Local governing bodies contribute the site and 121/2% of the cost
of construction leaving 121/2% of the construction costs and
architectural services to be provided by the State. The cost of
constructing support type facilities, such as supply and main-tenance
activities, is supported 100% by the Federal Government.
All appropriations for construction and maintenance of the
facilities are made to the Armory Commission.
During the period 1 July 1970 through 30 June 1972, three
new armories were completed and occupied and construction con-tracts
were awarded for 3 additional armories. Contracts were
also awarded for the construction of two Organizational Main-tenance
Shops and an Addition to the USP&FO Office. Design
was completed and bids were received for an armory in Youngs-ville.
Contract awards for this armory, however, will not be made
until early in FY 72-73. Many repairs, renovations and modifi-cations
were made to existing facilities during the Biennium to
maintain or improve their effectiveness.
At the present time the Armory Commission real estate in-ventory
includes 176 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 Federal Gov-ernment.
Maintenance costs for licensed facilities are supported
75% with Federal funds. The State receives no Federal support
in the maintenance to State owned or leased facilities. A list of
15
16 Report of The Adjutant General
the State owned facilities is included as an attachment. Major
repairs and renovations are being accomplished by independent
contractors and minor repairs and preventive maintenance ser-vices
are being provided by the Maintenance Branch of the Engi-neering
and Facilities Division, Office of the Adjutant General. A
substantial savings in funds is being realized by providing or-ganic
maintenance services and it is anticipated that these sav-ings
will increase as the maintenance program expands.
The following is a tabulation of projects under contract or
completed during the period for which the report is made. An
indication is given of the amount of State funds involved in the
new construction projects.

round Annual Training in one and two officer increments at the
Selective Service Headquarters in Raleigh, NC, Atlanta, GA, and
the National Headquarters in Washington, DC.
There were no serious mishaps to personnel or equipment.
Training accomplished during all periods was considered effective.
C. OSD Study Test 2
North Carolina's 30 Infantry Division (Mech) was selected to
participate in a consolidated Post Mobilization training expanded
test plan under the office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD Study
Test 2). The purpose of the OSD Study is to test the feasibility
of reducing the post mobilization training time required to pro-duce
combat ready divisions by consolidating brigade and di-vision
level training. The OSD Study will be conducted effective
1 January 1972 through 31 July 1973.
In the initial phase of Test 2 units have conducted refresher
training concurrently with special staff and MOS schools. Com-mand
Post exercises and detail planning for field exercises have
been accomplished. The above training has been conducted by
the following additional training assemblies (ATA) and full time
training duty (FTTD) for special tours for planning and FTTD
for staff and MOS schools
:
Officers Enlisted Men
ATA 1,254 4,492
Special Tours 2,640 2,118
Staff & MOS Schools .... 2,047 2,669
The entire division will be administered appropriate tests dur-ing
final phase of the expanded test plan.
D. Army Service and Area Schools
Officers and enlisted men of the North Carolina Army National
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
period 1,057 officers and 638 enlisted men attended courses at
these schools.
Special schools are being conducted for the 30th Infantry Di-vision
(MECH) in connection with OSD Test 2 project. During
the period 1 January-30 June 1972, 2,047 officers and 2,669 en-listed
men attended courses of instruction under the Test 2
project.
26 Report of The Adjutant General
E. Reserve Enlisted Program
This program, commonly referred to as The Six-Months Train-ing
Program or The Reserve Enlisted Program '63, provides 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 program for a
minimum period of 120 days; the total time being entirely de-pendent
upon the type of training required by individual's as-signment.
This program provides two basic advantages for the
National Guard in that it affords excellent training of an indi-vidual
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 1971, a
total of 1,426 individuals entered this program and during fiscal
year 1972, a total of 1,922. A total of 3,348 were trained during
the reporting period.

trained personnel. NCO Class Numbers 7, 8, and 9 graduated a
combined total of 129 students.
It is anticipated that the Officer Candidate School will continue
its present programs. The initial class size will be made to con-form
with the projected requirements for junior officers in the
North Carolina Army National Guard.
28 Report of The Adjutant General
G. 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 General's
Department, Headquarters Third United States Army, Fort Mc-
Pherson, 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 1971 — 16 February — 11 March 1971
2. Fiscal year 1972 �� 14 February ��� 16 March 1972
All units received a satisfactory rating.
H. Maintenance
The State Maintenance Officer has the responsibility for super-vising
the maintenance and repair of all Federal equipment ex-cept
Army aircraft issued to the North Carolina Army National
Guard. The functions are performed at the Combined Support
Maintenance Shop, Raleigh; Annual Training Equipment Pool
(ATEP), Fort Bragg and the twenty (20) Organizational Main-tenance
Shops located throughout the State. Maintenance of all
supported equipment is considered outstanding.
The Annual Training Equipment Pool was established 1 June
1972 to provide a facility for maintenance, storage, issue and re-ceipt
of tracked combat vehicles pooled at Fort Bragg, N. C, for
training under the operational control of the State Maintenance
Officer. This activity was established by converting and expand-ing
the former Weekend Training Equipment Pool. i
Report of The Adjutant General 29
The Annual Command Maintenance Management Inspections
for FY 1971 were conducted by personnel from the OfRce of the
State Maintenance Officer and Combined Support Maintenance
Shop. Units and activities are rated either satisfactory or un-satisfactory.
All units were rated Satisfactory.
Beginning in FY 1972, the Command Maintenance Manage-ment
Inspections were eliminated by directive from National
Guard Bureau, Washington, D. C. A substitute program. Main-tenance
Assistance and Instruction Team (MAIT), was carried
out during FY 1972. All units and stations of the NC ARNG were
visited by the MAIT. The principle purpose of these visits was to
evaluate for the commanders at the unit level the status of their
maintenance program, including readiness condition of equip-ment,
and to provide assistance and advice for improvement. This
program was well-received by the commanders, and excellent
long-range results are indicated.
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 1971
and FY 1972. Commendable results were recognized by the In-spector
both years.
I. Army-Air Technician Program
In addition to his duties and responsibilities as a State Official,
the Adjutant General is designated, pursuant to the provisions of
Public Law 90-486, as an "Appointing Officer" for workforce of
full-time Federal employees known as National Guard Tech-nicians.
The designation as Appointing Officer carries with it the
responsibility for the administration and management of the
technician workforce within limitations prescribed by the Chief,
National Guard Bureau. No additional compensation is received
by the Adjutant General for the performance of his duties as an
appointing officer for Federal employees.
National Guard technicians, working under the supervision of
their respective commanders and supervisors of activities, per-form
the many administrative, accounting, logistical, mainte-nance
and training operations which must be accomplished on a
day-to-day basis in order for the Guard to maintain its efficiency
and readiness posture. Prescribed positions for technicians and
Federal funds for their support are allotted to the State by the
National Guard Bureau. The number, types and grades of posi-tions
authorized are based on the troop structure and operational
30 Report of The Adjutant General
requirements of the Army and Air National Guard units and
activities organized within the State. Every unit and activity of
company or battery size is supported by one or more full-time
technicians. Except for a limited number, National Guard tech-nicians
are members of Federally recognized National Guard
units in a military assignment related to their civilian employ-ment.
In their civilian (technician) positions, these employees
hold "Excepted" service appointments in the Federal employee
(Civil Service) program. A few positions, because of the nature
and type of work performed, may be filled by females or other
non-guardsmen, and the incumbents of those positions are ap-pointed
under the provisions of the "Competitive" Civil Service
Regulations.
The number of technician positions authorized and supported
during the biennium covered by this report has been as follows
:
Unit/ Activity
Report of The Adjutant General 31
accomplished. A large number of the technicians have many years
of loyal and devoted service in the program and the vast majority
are highly skilled and well trained and experienced in their re-spective
positions.
J. Military Support to Civil Authorities
The Military Support to Civil Authorities Section has a dual
mission. This mission encompasses planning for and coordinating
military support to Civil Defense Agencies in the event of nuclear
attack on the United States. Of equal importance, the mission
i also includes planning for and coordinating military support to
civil authorities during natural or man-made disasters, to include
civil disorders.
This section functions as a full-time staff for The Adjutant
General in planning, coordinating, and furnishing planning guid-ance
in the military support of civil defense to all military forces
in the State of North Carolina. In addition, it serves The Adju-tant
General in furnishing planning guidance in the military
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. Authoriza-tion
for affording military support from the North Carolina Na-tional
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 President of the
i United States or his designated representative. At that time only,
would military assistance requirements be allocated through the
Federal Government.
This section is authorized and composed of five Army National
Guard Technicians. Although these technicians are supported by
Federal funds, they are under direct control and supervision of
The Adjutant General. Two members of the section have attended
and graduated from the Office of Civil Defense Staff College at
Battle Creek, Michigan. One member has attended the Senior
Officers Civil Disturbance Orientation Course (SEADOC) at Fort
Gordon, Georgia. Two members have attended the Disaster Re-covery
School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
32 Report of The Adjutant General
ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
K. Army Advisors
To provide assistance to unit commanders at the various eche-lons
of command in solving problems of training and administra-tion,
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 25 officers and 35 enlisted men. Assigned strength
at the end of the reporting period was 25 officers and 30 enlisted
men.
Senior Advisors for the reporting period were Colonel John N.
Schoming who served from July 1970 to January 1971, Colonel
Albert M. Nash who served from January 1971 to December 1971,
and Colonel William C. Dobson, Jr. who served from December
1971 to present. Advisors to the 30th Infantry Division (Mech)
were Colonel Albert M. Nash from July 1970 to January 1971,
Colonel William C. Dobson, Jr. who served from January 1971
to December 1971, and Colonel Louie W. Donoho who served from
April 1972 to present.
SECTION IX
AIR NATIONAL GUARD
A. Organization
1. The North Carohna Air National Guard is composed of the
145 Tactical Airlift Group (Tactical Air Command — Gaining
Command), 145 Communications Flight and the 263 Mobile Com-munications
Squadron (Contingency) (Air Force Communications
Service — Gaining Command), the 156 Weather Flight (Mobile/
Fixed) and the 206 Weather Flight (SA) (Air Weather Service,
Military Airlift Command — Gaining Command), and Head-quarters,
North Carolina Air National Guard, which is the air
equivalent of Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, NC
Army National Guard. Units, other than the 206 Weather Flight
located at Raleigh-Durham Airport, Morrisville, NC and the 263
Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg), Badin-Wadesboro,
NC, are located at Charlotte, North Carolina. (Gaining Command
is the Air Force Major Command which would gain a particular
ANG unit if it were called or ordered into active Federal Service).
2. Units of the North Carolina Air National Guard operate
generally under the supervision and direction of the Assistant
Adjutant General, Air and report to this official. The Head-quarters,
N. C. Air National Guard staff provides expertise in
those specialities and functions necessary to insure performance
of the primary missions of the various NC Air National Guard
units.
3. There were major changes in the organizations during this
period, especially in the flying group. The period from 1 July 1970
until early 1971 was rife with rumors relating to future roles and
missions of the military airlift units. The 145 Military Airlift
Group continued its outstanding performance and support of the
Air Force during this period of uncertainty. This period in the
operation of the 145 Military Airlift Group will be given limited
coverage in this report because the majority of the period was
devoted to a completely new mission, new aircraft, and new
gaining command and the numerous changes in operating pro-cedures.
4. Plans for the eventual conversion from 145 MiHtary Airlift
Group and C-124 aircraft to 145 Tactical Airlift Group and C-130
33
34 Report of The Adjutant General
aircraft began taking shape in January, 1971 when the conversion
was proposed by the National Guard Bureau and accepted by the
State of North CaroHna. C-130B Planning Conference was held
during the first week of February, 1971 when the many changes
in operations, manpower, air technician and military, and other
functional areas were discussed. One of the primary areas of
concern was the loss in military manpower spaces. The initial
review showed a loss of some 240 manpower spaces, including a
reduction in authorized aircrews and aircrew members. Personnel
with long and faithful service would be affected. The loss in
military manpower spaces resulted from a new organizational
concept. Prior to the C-130 weapons system, it was envisioned
that each ANG unit would have a Bare Base capability. This view
was officially abandoned for tactical airlift units, thus, a new mix
of supporting units was developed. Immediately accompanying
the flying and maintenance squadrons, in a deployment to an
already established and functioning main operating base, would
be a Weapons System Security Flight and Mobility Support
Flight. These two flights contain the numbers and types of skifls
for which TAG stated a need for augmentation of a deployment
base manning. Because the ANG's peacetime manning needs are,
in several areas, greater than TAC's expected wartime needs, a
small Combat Support Squadron was retained. Though consider-ably
reduced in size, the unit was primarily intended to meet
ANG needs only. In the realignment, the Supply Squadron was
lost. This function was incorporated in the Combat Support
Squadron, and the Combat Support Squadron was not given an
M-Day assignment. Remaining support units such as the Civil
Engineering Flight, the Communications Flight, the Dispensary,
and the Aeromedical Evacuation Flight were, for the immediate
future, retained against global Air Force commitments.
5. The above constituted a unique change in the organizational
alignment of the Air National Guard. To this date, the C-130
Weapons System is the only major system in the Air National
Guard to be faced with such a sweeping change. The loss of man-power
spaces was drastic; however, the necessity to perform
functions in areas where limited or no manpower was authorized
for the function was even more drastic. Tactical Air Command,
because of worldwide commitments, believes in and directs prep-aration
for mobilization and movement to a forward operating
base within critically brief time span. Mobility is the name of
j
Report of The Adjutant General 35
the game. In the case of the Non-Bare Base organizations,
insufficient manpower was provided to support a mobility re-quirement.
The Stock answer was — and has been "you must
train personnel from other areas to provide Mobility Support".
This meant that the Combat Support Squadron Commander was
faced with training of his personnel in their primary duty assign-ment
as well as an additional duty, normally in the transportation
area.
6. From the date of inception of the revised organizational
concept, the Combat Support Squadron manning and wartime
mission has not been settled. A study which began six months
after reorganization/ realignment had not been concluded by the
close of this reporting period.
7. NGB/DOM Letter, 12 March 1971, Activation, Reorganiza-tion
and Inactivation of North Carolina Air National Guard Units,
provided the authority for change to the Tactical Airlift Mission
in the fourth quarter FY 1972 but not later than 30 June 1971.
Subsequent to Federal recognition inspection coordination with
Tactical Air Command, a decision was made to make organiza-tional
actions effective during the period 14-15 May 1971. Follow-ing
are organization actions taken and effective date
:

36 Report of The Adjutant General
8. Authority was granted to retain excesses by numbers,
grades, and specialities through 31 December 1971. This author-ity
was later extended and was in force generally for the re-mainder
of the reporting period. Additional information regarding
these organizational actions will be covered in other parts of this
report.
9. Under the present organizational alignment, Headquarters,
145 Tactical Airlift Group supervises functions of subordinate
units which include the 145 Combat Support Squadron, 145 Con-solidated
Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, 145 Tactical Dispen-sary,
156 Tactical Airlift Squadron, 145 Aerial Port Flight, the
156 Aeromedical Evacuation Flight, and the 145 Civil Engineer-ing
Flight. The 145 Mobility Support and the 145 Weapons Se-curity
Support Flights are under the general supervision of the
Commander, 145 Combat Support Squadron. Supervision and
direction in an inactive status are per group concept and func-tional
alignment whereby the authority and responsibility to
command are vested in the group commander. Although each unit
within the group is authorized a commander, these subordinate
commanders are responsible to the group commander for certain
functions in support of the overall group mission. Under this
concept the group commander is authorized a Deputy Com-mander
for Logistics, a Deputy Commander for Operations, and
a Support Squadron Commander as assistants for the supervision
on group line activities. The Deputy for Logistics also has the
additional responsibility for direction of mobility planning and
execution. The Commander, 145 Tactical Dispensary is also the
Group Surgeon and provides advice in all matters affecting the
health of the command.
10. The 145 Civil Engineering Flight has attained additional
responsibilities and stature during this reporting period. The 60
man 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 assistance.
Prime Beef (Base Engineer Emergency Forces) are designed to
perform direct combat support roles and must be prepared for
movement with assigned equipment. This is another force sub-ject
to Tactical Air Command mobility requirements. Assigned
personnel and materials are included in mobility planning.
11. The 263 Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg) is
composed of operations, maintenance, and self-supporting sec-
Report of The Adjutant General 37
tions and is assigned to the 251 Communications Group (Mobile),
Ohio Air National Guard, Springfield, Ohio, for operational, train-ing,
and Mobilization purposes. This unit has an M-Day assign-ment
to Air Force Communications Service.
12. The 145 Communications Flight (Support) has an M-Day
assignment to Air Force Communications Service. The Flight
provides communications support for the 145 Tactical Airlift
Group and could continue this support at another base under
present planning.
13. The 156 Weather Flight (Mobile/ Fixed) and the 206
Weather Flight (SA) have an M-Day assignment to Air Weather
Service, 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 readi-ness
by the 156 Weather Flight has been noteworthy. The 206
Weather Flight provides weather support for the 30th Infantry
Division. The progress toward operational readiness made by the
206 Weather Flight is outstanding. It is one of the few units in
the Air National Guard to report 100% qualifications in the per-sonnel
measurement area of the FORSTAT Report.
14. 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 area. In addition,
Assistant USP&FO's for Air, (Fiscal), (Property), and (Real
Property), perform Air Comptroller, Supply and Services, and
Property accountability functions.
15. Equipment in use in the North Carolina Air National
Guard has a value of $4,383,000. Real Estate is valued at
$2,716,000, aircraft and spare parts at $22,331,760, while the
annual payrolls total approximately $3,791,000.
16. Air National Guard Unit Detail Listings or Unit Manning
Documents are the documents which contain those military man-power
spaces deemed necessary to perform assigned function.
Problems encountered in previous years in the areas of authori-zations
versus drill paid ceiling were changed to some extent dur-ing
this period. Heretofore, Manning Documents have shown a
manpower authorization which exceeded the drill paid ceiling.
38 Report of The Adjutant General
Now we have on-board strength which exceeds the Manning
Document authorizations. This situation is true in a number of
ANG C-130 units. The shortages of manpower in other ANG
Weapons Systems permits this situation as long as the overall
ANG Drill Paid Strength is not exceeded. Overall strength is
managed at the National Guard Bureau level. NC Air National
Guard units have been faced with problems because of excesses
created during the Aircraft Conversion/ Mission Change period.
Although the reserve forces appear to be headed for a zero draft
era, recruiting must be limited because of shortage of vacancies.
Every effort has been made to use non-prior service enlistment
quotas/training spaces provided by the National Guard Bureau.
A significant increase has been made in procurement and assign-ment
of minority race members.
17. The majority of airmen assigned to NC Air National Guard
units were non-prior service personnel at time of enlistment.
Maintenance of strength levels, particularly for period after cur-rent
excesses have been depleted, will be dependent on retention
of these personnel after their service obligations have been com-pleted.
In addition, in-put from the non-prior service area must
be continued to some extent. Meeting future strength require-ments
now appears to be dependent on some type of Incentive
Program for enlistments and reenlistments, after completion of
a six year enlistment. At one time the NC ANG airman force was
dominated by college graduates. This has changed in the past
few years and procurement has been generally from the high
school graduate level because of the enlistment priority systems.
We anticipated that the high school graduate level group would
be more prone to remain as a matter of economics. Although
retention has been increased, it has not approached the levels
anticipated. We have noted additional interest in the Air National
Guard from former ANG members and prior service personnel.
The continuing problem is getting the right person in the right
place at the right time. Planning and management at all levels
is necessary. Crash programs are not the answer.
18. The Air National Guard continued operations under the
generally accepted concept that the Air National Guard has
passed from a purely training organization to training and op-erational
units available to supplement the Air Force in per-formance
of worldwide missions. The flying unit of the North
Carolina Air National Guard participated in operational missions
I
Report of The Adjutant General 39
from 1 July 1970 until 30 June 1971. Operational support was
provided as a by-product of our training financial support, thus
giving the tax payer double value for his defense dollar. Flying
group participation in operations missions was extremely limited
in comparison with past years because of the major aircraft and
mission change discussed throughout this report. The group
entered FY 71 with a C-1 (fully combat ready) rating and was
forced to drop to C-4 (not combat ready) at time of aircraft
conversion because of major changes in weapons systems, ma-teriel,
and retraining requirements.
19. During this period, the 145 Military Airlift Group/ 145
Tactical Airlift Group continued its excellent record of accident
free flying and flew the unit equipped aircraft a total of 7880.4
hours. While the C-124 was possessed, a grand total of 23,063
hours were flown in the Globemaster and a noteworthy total of
68,378.3 accident free flying hours were flown through 30 June
1972.
As of 30 June 1972, the following NC ANG Units were Fed-erally
Recognized and personnel were actively participating in
scheduled training activities

Report of The Adjutant General 41
B. Mission
1. The primary mission of the flying organization at the close
of this period was tactical airlift. The new mission was officially
assumed on 15 May 1971 when unit organizational actions oc-curred.
Preparation for the Tactical Airlift Mission began at a
much earlier period. Actually, preparation for mission assump-tion
and mission qualification consumed a majority of this period,
2. We have been most fortunate to have a stable force of key
officers and airmen during this period. Several officers were elimi-nated
by Vitalization Board action. However, most actions were
due to a shortage of positions, mandatory retirements, etc.
3. Mission performance requires a stable force with adequate
phased personnel in-put to assure continuing viable and combat
capable forces. Changes occurring over the past few years left
the officer and non-commissioned officer corps apprehensive re-garding
a future with the reserve forces. Personnel questioned
the advisability of affiliation with the Air National Guard es-pecially
since units were losing manpower spaces. The 145 Tacti-cal
Airlift Group lost some 240 spaces in an aircraft conversion/
mission change. Limited opportunities for promotion existed. It
appeared that the rated corps, except for air technicians, would
change at the 14 year level because of the shortage of positions
in the grade of major and above. There was no assurance that
any officer could complete the necessary service for Title III
Retirement. After some pressure from the field, the National
Guard Bureau made presentations to the Air Staff designed to
retain officers on a selective and as needed basis in grade above
those shown on the Manning Document. The Secretary of the Air
Force extended authority to the Air National Guard to retain
officers up through the grade of major regardless of Manning
Document position. Proper use of this authority can assure pro-motion
to the grade of major and completion of 20 good years
service for retirement. Officers who receive a mandatory promo-tion
may be retained through the grade of major, regardless of
Manning Document position occupied, until completion of 20 good
years of service.
4. Actions have been taken to provide some promotion relief
in the enlisted ranks. Although not faced with the provisions of
ROPA, the enlisted corps could see a drought insofar as promo-tions
were concerned. The National Guard Bureau has taken
action to add some opportunities for promotions assuring that
42 Report of The Adjutant General
airmen will not be limited to Manning Document position occu-pied.
Qualified airmen may now be promoted to E-4 (Sgt) after
4 years service, E-5 (SSgt) after 6 years service and E-6 (Tsg)
after 12 years service. Most non-prior service personnel attain
E-5 by completion of six years service obligation. Special promo-tion
authority to E-4 and E-5 is of little value in a retention pro-gram.
Enlistment and reenlistment bonuses will materially aid
a retention program. Additional benefits will also be necessary
until such time as members elect to remain in the ANG as a
matter of economics. Once a member begins to rely on that
monthly check, he will stay in. However, there are too many other
avenues to second jobs now which materially lessen the attrac-tion
to the average airman of a monthly Air National Guard
check. Other incentives will be necessary, in conjunction with an
aggressive recruiting eifort.
5. Primary mission of each unit of the North Carolina Air Na-tional
Guard is as follows:
a. Hq, N. C. Air National Guard: Advises and assists The
Adjutant General in the administration, logistics, training, and

for use in an emergency, with capability to install, support, and
maintain radio relays and mobile radio terminals at unprepared
sites.
C. Reorganization and Aircraft Conversion
1. The major aircraft conversion, mission change, and gaining
command change required considerable effort on the part of the
Group, State Headquarters and air technician personnel. One of
the initial tasks was the plan for training of initial cadre of pilots
and flight engineers. We were placed in the position of selecting
aircrew members for training in a weapons systems and at a lo-cation
we could not reveal because all aspects of the conversion
were classified at this point.
2. Although still classified at this point, the first aircrew re-ported
to Little Rock AFB, Arkansas on 2 March 1971 and grad-uated
6 April 1971. This was the beginning of a long road back
to the capability rating previously attained in the C-124 aircraft.
Many hours of flying training and ground training were required.
Conversion plan was prepared and target dates were established
for completion of each phase of the conversion program. Con-siderable
preparation was made for a C-130 field training team
to provide C-130 ground training for aircrews and aircraft main-tenance
complex personnel. Although a training requirement was
identified in February 1971, firm plans for an in-place team did
not develop until 29 April 1971 when an Air Training Command
Survey Team visited the Air National Guard Base at Charlotte,
North Carolina to make detail arrangements. A Field Training
Team arrived on 7 July 1971 and began training on 9 July 1971.
Ground training was completed on or about 30 August 1971.
Ground Training was provided for approximately 200 aircraft
maintenance complex aircrew personnel.
3. The first C-130 aircraft arrived on 16 May 1971. The aircraft
maintenance complex was faced with providing maintenance on
Report of The Adjutant General 45
an aircraft without benefit of some training on the aircraft. This
situation is an excellent example of the planning involved for the
aircraft conversion or lack thereof. This a statement of fact
rather than criticism, because the Air Force and the National
Guard Bureau were placed in a position of receiving more modem
aircraft at a much earlier date than anticipated. Lacking an air-craft
maintenance capability, immediate action was taken to place
air technicians at Pope AFB, North Carolina for on-the-job train-ing
in the C-130 aircraft.
4. Tactical Air Command became the gaining command for the
145 Tactical Airlift Group. Under this concept, the gaining com-mand
is responsible for supervision of training, safety and in-spection.
TAC's interest in the 145 Tactical Airlift Group was
demonstrated from the beginning. The Wing at Pope AFB, North
Carolina was given advisory duty responsibilities and personnel
aided our unit in so many ways it would be difficult to list the
assistance. TAG and subordinate commands have demonstrated
more interest and acceptance of the Air National Guard than
previous Air Force Gaining Commands.
5. Conversion to C-130B aircraft caused a drastic reduction in
the aircrew area. 16 line aircrews consisting of 3 pilots, 2 navi-gators,
2 flight engineers, and one loadmaster were authorized
in the C-124 aircraft. Only 12 line aircrews consisting of 2 pilots,
1 navigator, 1 flight engineer, and one loadmaster are authorized
in the C-130B aircraft. Considerable reduction of aircrew mem-bers
has been necessary and continues because resources are not
available to support all who desire to remain on board. Reductions
have been managed in a matter to prevent adverse reactions
which could damage the Air National Guard posture in the com-munity.
6. The Group and State Staff established a goal of 1 October
1972 for the 145 Tactical Airlift Group to return to a C-3 capa-bility.
This goal was established based on a one year training
program after receipt of the eighth aircraft. The goal, except for
mobility capability, was met by the close of this reporting period
and at a much earlier date than normally expected.
7. The flying unit continued its accident free record during this
period. In November 1971, the flying unit completed 12 years of
accident free flying and on 30 June 1972 had accumulated 68,378.3
hours of accident free flying time. The last major aircraft acci-dent
occurred in August 1958. These records are most impressive
;
46 Report of The Adjutant General
however, they become even more so considering- that the flying
unit has been involved in six MAJOR AIRCRAFT CONVER-SIONS—
from F-86E jet day fighters to the F-86L all weather
jet interceptors, to two different models of the twin reciprocating
engine C-119, to the four engine C-121, super constellation, to
the four engine C-124, Globemaster, and now the four engine
prop-jet C-130B, Hercules.
8. Unit reorganizations and realignments associated with the
aircraft conversions have been explained in other parts.
9. The remainder of the units of the North Carolina Air Na-tional
Guard did not experience organizational actions affecting
primary missions. Data relating to military units authorized as
of 30 June 1972 are listed under Part A of this report.
D. Construction
1. Approximately $122,500.00 were spent during this reporting
period for minor construction, maintenance, and repairs. The
following projects were completed.
a. Paving, $31,000.00. Maintenance and repair of pavements
at Charlotte, $19,940.00; and additional paved parking areas at
Badin, $11,060.00.
b. Pollution Control, $29,746.00. Three anti-pollution proj-ects
at Charlotte, $23,459.00; and one project at Badin, $6,287.00.
c. Intrusion Alarm Systems, $6,700.00. Intrusion alarms
were installed in three weapons vaults at Charlotte, and one vault
at Badin.
d. Fire Alarm Systems, $8,200.00. An automatic fire alarm
system has been installed in the hangar area of the maintenance
dock, and a manual system in Base Supply.
e. Addition to Life Support Building, $9,700.00. An addition
of 950 square feet to provide space for maintenance of flotation
gear.
f. Repairs and periodic maintenance of POL System,
$13,545.00.
g. Addition to Base Supply Building, $4,000.00. Provides
additional latrine facilities.
h. Secure Facility at Badin, $2,486.00. An existing room
was modified to provide a secure area for classified equipment,
i. Weapons vault in Base Supply Building, $2,800.00.
I
Report of The Adjutant General 47
j. Miscellaneous projects under $2,000.00 each, $12,300.00.
k. Training projects $2,000.00.
2. In addition, a contract was negotiated with a local Architect/
Engineering firm to provide plans and specifications for a 27,000
sq. ft. Composite Maintenance Building. The estimated con-struction
cost of the proposed building is $675,000.00, and the
expected date for awarding of construction contract is late spring
of 1973.
E. Annual Training
1. ANGM 50-01 authorizes the performance of a fifteen day
annual 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 Tactical Airlift Group
uses the "year-round" concept. This system was used during
Fiscal Years 1971 and 1972. 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 overall capability of
individuals and units. Detailed scheduling is most important if
the objectives of this plan are met.
2. During each fiscal year, two primary field training periods
were established for personnel of the 145 Military Airlift Group
or 145 Tactical Airlift Group, other than rated personnel and
others on flying status. An effort was made to schedule approxi-mately
one half of the personnel for training during each of the
primary periods in order to spread available annual training
mandays throughout the fiscal year to support mission require-ments.
In instances where personnel could not attend during a
primary period, they were scheduled for other periods when serv-ices
could be used.
3. Changes to the Joint Travel Regulations have complicated
the scheduling of annual field training for personnel attending
under the year-round concept. Personnel residing outside com-muting
distance are scheduled to attend during one of the two
periods when dining hall is in operation. This practice conserves
the limited funds available since we are required to pay per diem
48 Report of The Adjutant General
during annual training when rations and quarters are not avail-able.
Quarters are always available.
4. Rated personnel and a majority of other personnel on flying
status completed annual training by making overwater flights or
participating in aircraft conversion training. Qualification train-ing
has been the primary objective for aircrews since the C-130B
aircraft were assigned. Aircrew participation in missions is
limited while a unit is in a conversion and C-4 capability status.
Once the overall capability reaches C-3, the unit and aircrews
will be eligible to participate in additional activities such as Joint
Chief of Staff Exercises and possibly overwater training exer-cises.
The Group has been scheduled to participate in FY 73 JCS
exercises. Scheduling was based on estimated C-3 Combat Ready
status by 1 October 1972. We feel the aircrews and direct support
aircraft maintenance personnel will be extremely busy in the
future in providing tactical airlift support to the active force,
especially since approximately one-third of the tactical airlift
capability has been assigned to the Air National Guard and the
Air Force Reserve. Flight Nurses and medical technicians per-formed
15 days training at home station because the Air Force
has not provided live mission training for several years. The unit
is now awaiting decisions regarding future use of personnel of
the 156 Aeromedical Evacuation Flight during active duty and
inactive duty training periods. The 1st Aeromedical Evacuation
Group, Pope AFB, North Carolina has been designated as inter-mediate
gaining organization in the event the unit is recalled.
We anticipate the 1st Aeromedical Evacuation Group will provide
training opportunities in the future.
5. The year-round type of annual training is quite valuable
and has been effectively used by our flying units. Continuous
evaluation is necessary to insure that full training benefits are
realized. A program of this type is necessary in order for flying
personnel to meet training and qualification requirements and to
participate in scheduled exercises. 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 preparing a field training schedule.
Personal convenience must be the least important item in the
scheduling.
6. The 156 Weather Flight (Mobile /Fixed) attended annual
training at Niagara Falls International Airport, New York during
Report of The Adjutant General 49
the period 25 July 1970-8 August 1970 and at Volk Field ANG
Base, Wisconsin during the period 31 Jul 71-14 Aug 71. Each
period of annual training was devoted to actual weather support
for other ANG flying units. This type of training is quite valuable
since personnel have an opportunity to participate in training
under operational conditions. Reports received indicate that the
unit performed in its usual outstanding manner.
7. The 263 Mobile Communications Squadron (Contingency)
attended annual training as follows:
a. 22 July 1970-8 August 1970 participated in exercise
"Sentry-Longhouse." Main body was located at Otis AFB, Massa-chusetts
with seven operating locations; tributary teams were
located at five of these locations.
b. 10-24 July 1971 participated in exercise "Sentry Guard
Strike III." Main body was located at Cecil Field, Jacksonville,
Florida with six tributary team operating locations.
Annual training periods of the type performed by the 263
Mobile Communications Squadron are difficult to support logisti-cally
; however, such periods provide realistic training in missions
and duties which would be required in an extended active duty
environment.
8, The 206 Weather Flight attended annual training as follows
:
a. 30 May 1970-13 June 1970. Supported the 30th Infantry
Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
b. 6 June 1971-20 June 1971. Attended annual meeting at
Camp Oliver, Georgia.
F. Schools
1. 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-130 Field Training De-tachment
was available to provide training in C-130 systems. In
addition, valuable on-the-job training was provided by the 317
Tactical Airlift Wing when other training resources were not
available. This assistance gave the Group some aircraft main-tenance
capability until such time as a Field Training Detachment
could be assembled at Charlotte, North Carolina by Air Training
Command.
2. Non-prior service personnel enlisting in the Air National
Guard are required to complete a minimum of four months active
50 Report of The Adjutant General
duty for training as a condition of enlistment and in order to
become basically qualified in their duty Air Force Specialty. Due
to a requirement that period of active duty begin within 180 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 active
duty for training is completed or member qualified at "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 attending
Basic Military Training and USAF Service School where duration
of both totals 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 tested as volumes of the Career
Development Courses are completed, then given the CDC End
of Course Test prior to being awarded a higher level Air Force
Specialty.
3. USAF Service School spaces have been available to meet
the majority of training requirements during this reporting :
period. Requirements have been limited because of on board ex- ^
cess strength from aircraft conversion and mission change.
4. 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. The
drill paid strength was not a problem during this period because
,
the National Guard Bureau was making an effort to meet overall
year-end strength. Again, excess personnel in the North Carolina ,
Air National Guard helped in attaining overall programmed ANG i
strength as of 30 June 1972. ;
5. The discussion in the schools area would not be complete
without mentioning the pilot procurement program. The Air '
National Guard and all individuals and associations interested in
the future of the Air National Guard have tried for many years \
Report of The Adjutant General 51
to get the ANG pilot training quota increased. The ANG pilot
quota has been increased ; however, we were given limited spaces
because pilot strength has been maintained at an acceptable level.
We averaged 3 pilot training spaces during each of the fiscal
years being reported. The quota of pilot trainees for the Air
National Guard should be used if the ANG is to provide the
back-up capability for our Regular Forces. There has been an in-crease
in the number of prior service pilots making application
for appointment in the ANG. This source of pilots can be used
for appointment of additional pilots if aircrew ratio is increased
from present level of 1.5 crews per aircraft.
6. 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. The aircraft conversion/mission change caused a reduc-tion
in authorized navigators from 33 to 14. For this reason,
excess navigators have been assigned since 15 May 1971. We
appear to be in an excellent position until 1975 if no unforeseen
significant trends develop. We could lose some pilots to the vital-ization
program. At the present time replacements are readily
available because we have a waiting list of active duty ex-perienced
pilots.
7. Other training programs available to the Air National Guard
have been used during this reporting period. The ANG Officers
Preparatory Academy has been used to train young officers for
assignment to flying and non-flying positions. Upon completion
of Officer Training School and after commissioning, pilot trainees
are assigned to USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training and an ef-fort
is made to enter other officers in an USAF Service School
offering Basic Technical Training in career area of anticipated
assignment.
8. The ANG Non-Commissioned Officer Academy and the ANG
Leadership School are located at McGhee Tyson ANG Base, Knox-ville,
Tennessee. The former is designed to train NCO's in upper
grades E-5 through E-9, the latter is designed to train airmen
I
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. These highly motivated graduates are en-
1 couraging other NCOs to attend and are striving to increase
52 Report of The Adjutant General
attendance at the Leadership School. We plan to give NCO
Academy graduates increased responsibility in the management
of the ANG. 57 NCANG non-commissioned officers have grad-uated
from the NCO Academy and 6 members have completed
the leadership school. These are outstanding programs which
greatly enhance the value of our NCO complement.
G. Air Technician Program
1. Technician personnel functions were consolidated under the
State Technician Personnel Officer during August 1971. The con-solidated
office is responsible for National Guard Technician
administration as prescribed by National Guard Regulations,
Federal Personnel Manuals, Civil Service Commission Bulletins,
Department of Labor Rules, Executive Orders, and other appli-cable
authority and directives.
2. Management of resources made available by the Air Direc-torate,
National Guard Bureau is the responsibility of the Base
Detachment Commander, 145 Tactical Airlift Group. Under this
concept, the Base Detachment Commander distributes manyears
and supporting funds to meet mission requirements. He must
assure that manyears and year-end strengths are not exceeded
by all of the Air National Guard activities.
3. 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. The two most
important factors are the assigned pilot strength and accom-plishment
of the established flying hour program. Pilot strength
has not been a problem area throughout the overall Air National
Guard during this period, and the NC ANG has maintained pilot
strength above the National Guard Bureau programmed level
throughout this period and has exceeded the flying hour program.
4. The National Guard Bureau has established a Standard
Manning 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 position
to fund all authorized manpower spaces.
Report of The Adjutant General 53
5. The requirement or manpower spaces shown on the most
recent Air Technician Manning Document indicate an authoriza-tion
of 209 spaces for the flying base; however, we have been
limited to a monthly average of approximately 179 employees
during the past Fiscal Year. The flying base experienced an in-crease
in authorizations and manyears at time of aircraft con-version
and mission change. Initial manning was based on a 6 UE
aircraft weapons system. Aircraft were later increased to 8 with-out
a corresponding increase in technicians. 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 successful accomplishment of the flying mission.
6. The Air Technician Detachment can always use additional
manpower. Careful use of the year-round concept of annual train-ing
and our local OJT program for non-prior service personnel
completing active duty for training requirements has provided
some essential relief.
7. The Air Technician manning standard applicable to the 263
Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg) indicates a require-ment
for 17 employees. Due to limitations in manyears authorized
for the State, this unit has been permitted an average of 14
permanent employees. Two technicians are authorized Hq NC
ANG and two technicians are authorized to support technician
personnel functions.
8. Air Technicians are a force of highly skilled personnel and
the "backbone" of the Air National Guard Program. The tech-nicians
have continued their leadership role in making our Air
National Guard units a most valuable part of the Air Force.
9. The status of technicians was clarified when PL 90-486, the
National Guard Technician Act of 1968, was signed by The
President in August, 1968. Technicians on board on 1 January
1969 and employed later are Federal employees and are eligible
for many of the benefits available to employees of federal agen-cies.
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 administraion of the technician program. Thus, the
law recognizes the military requirements and the State char-
54 Report of The Adjutant General
acteristics of the National Guard and designates the State Adju-tant
General as the sole agent for employment and administration
of the technician program, under appropriate regulations pre-scribed
by the secretaries concerned. Excepted Technicians con-stitute
the majority of the Technician force. As a condition of
employment, excepted employees must be members of the Na-tional
Guard and hold the military grade of officer, warrant of-ficer,
or enlisted specified by the technician position description.
10. The most important factor of the new status was the re-tirement
program and allied benefits. The Public Law provides
credit for past technician service in full for Civil Service retire-ment
eligibility purposes but there is a limitation of 55% for
retirement annuity computation purposes for service prior to 1
January 1969. Considerable effort has been made to secure full
credit for this service.
11. The technician detachment had three retirements during
this period. One retirement resulted from an excepted employee
attaining maximum age. One female employee retired voluntarily.
One excepted employee reached maximum commissioned service
level and will be eligible for deferred annuity. Two excepted em-ployees
reach mandatory retirement age in the coming year.
Plans are being made for replacements. Two key positions are
involved.
H. Air Advisors
1. Tactical Air Command fully supports the Air Advisor and
Advisory Unit programs. The Group Advisory Staff consists of
one pilot, one personnel technician, one aircraft maintenance
technician, one loadmaster, and one flight engineer. The Senior
Advisor and personnel technician are scheduled to perform full
four year tours of duty. Other advisory staff members may be
withdrawn as the Group progresses in combat capability. Ad-visory
unit support by the 317 Tactical Airlift Wing has been
outstanding.
2. The Air Force Advisors' office assumed AFM 35-8 testing
requirement when a personnel technician was assigned. Testing
functions had been performed by the Consolidated Base Per-sonnel
Office under special authorization because qualified Air
Force Test Control personnel were not assigned.
3. An Aeromedical Evacuation Technician Technical Advisor
is assigned to the 156 Aeromedical Evacuation Flight.
Report of The Adjutant General 55
4. One airman technical advisor is authorized each of the
I Weather Flights. Exceptionally well qualified personnel continue
to occupy these positions. Air Weather Service, an intermediate
gaining command under MAC, supports the advisory program in
an excellent manner. The same is true of the Air Force Com-munications
Service, which is gaining command for the 263 Mo-bile
Communications Squadron (Contg) and the 145 Communica-
I tions Flight. Weather Flight advisors are especially valuable
since an Air Technician is not authorized for these units.
5. Advisory visits are made to our units by designated regular
' Air Force units. This function is performed by 317 Tactical Air-lift
Wing, Pope AFB, North Carolina in the case of the 145
Tactical Airlift Group.
I. Conclusions
1, 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 regarding
the capability of the Air National Guard. Representatives of the
Air Force have made this clear on a number of occasions. Air-
, crews 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 forty-six NC
ANG aircrew members have been awarded the Vietnam Service
i Medal for service in a combat area; 18 have one Bronze Service
Star ; 19 have 2 Bronze Service Stars ; 20 have 3 Bronze Service
i
Stars ; 9 have 4 Bronze Service Stars ; 8 have five Bronze Service
Stars; 8 have 6 Bronze Service Stars; 3 have the 7th Bronze
Star and 2 have the 8th Bronze Service Star denoting campaign
participation. Forty-eight aircrew members have been awarded
the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal and 46 have been
awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. One Air Force
Commendation Medal was awarded. 20 State Distinguished Ser-vice
Medals have been awarded to personnel of the North Carolina
Air National Guard.
2. Most of the awards were earned during previous reporting
I periods because participation in operational missions was limited
during this period. With approximately 35% of the Tactical Air-lift
capability now assigned to the Reserve Forces, we are assured
of frequent participation in operational missions in the future.
56 Report of The Adjutant General
The 145 Tactical Airlift Group was tasked to participate in JCS
Exercises long before reporting a combat capability. The tasking
and acceptance of tasks were based on anticipated completion
of programmed training. Programmed dates were met and ex-ceeded
in all cases.
3. Following is a list of flying accomplishments during the re-porting
period:
a. 7880.4 total flying hours (3272 hours were flown in
C-130B aircraft) . This is a considerable reduction from total
\
hours shown in previous reporting periods and is caused by the
aircraft conversion, mission change, and type of missions now
!
flown.
b. 39 Overwater Airlift Missions (Performed in C-124 air-craft)
.
c. 11 Southeast Asia Missions (Performed in C-124 air-craft)
.
d. 884.7 tons of cargo flown 2,159,550 ton miles (C-124 air-craft)
.
e. Flew 76 cargo missions and 71 passenger missions (C-124
aircraft)
.
f. Provided flying training and supervision which qualified
24 pilots, 11 navigators, 19 flight engineers and 16 loadmasters
as combat ready aircrew member in C-130 aircraft as of 30 June
1972.
g. Supported Army units by providing aircraft for personnel
drops.
4. The bulk of our airmen have been well-trained in Riot Con-trol,
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
Adjutant General's Public Relations/Information Program during
civil disturbances within the State.
J. Community Support and Domestic Actions
No report on the activities of the North Carolina Air National
Guard would be complete without some coverage of the extensive
community support and domestic actions in which individuals
and units have participated. Following is a list of some of the
more noteworthy aspects of this public relations program
:
Report of The Adjutant General 57
1. In addition to other visitors/ tours, 4,832 school children and
Junior ROTC Cadets visited and toured the base and facilities,
to include a tour through one of our 4 engined transports.
2. 140 student nurses were given a complete tour of medical
facilities, aeromedical evacuation system and a movie on the
aeromedical evacuation system. 120 student nurses were trans-ported
to Charlotte via C-124 aircraft for this nurse recruiting
open house. Local doctors and registered nurses were also given
tour with student nurses.
3. Thirty-five crippled children from the North Carolina Ortho-pedic
Hospital, Gastonia, NC were guests of the NCANG NCO
Academy Graduates Association for a tour of the ANG Base,
Charlotte, NC and "cook-out" at the NCANG Recreation Center.
4. 524 private student pilots attended two Safety Conferences
sponsored by the FAA, and held in the Assembly Room of the
NCANG Administration Building.
5. Forty mentally retarded /handicapped children from West-em
Carolina Center, Morganton, NC, were guests of the NCANG
NCO Academy Graduates Association for a tour of the ANG
Base, Charlotte, NC, and "cook-out" at the NCANG Recreation

6. NCANG hosted one day trip to Knoxville, Tennessee to Air
National Guard Non-Commissioned Officer's Academy for 26
North Carolina business and civic leaders. Academy declared
"NORTH CAROLINA DAY" and State was honored at Awards
Banquet.
7. NCANG Personnel played "Santa Claus" to 534 mentally
retarded /handicapped children at Western Carolina Center, Mor-ganton,
NC. Approximately $3,000.00 in cash and material was
donated by Air Guardsmen and business leaders of North Caro-lina
for this project. No Government/ State funds were used.
Approximately 50 Air Guardsmen and their wives and children
helped with this party. This program won national recognition
and acclaim, and was the principle factor in the selection of the
NC ANG for the DOD Unit Award for outstanding contributions
in the field of Community Support and Domestic Action in the
year 1971.
8. NCANG hosted three black community leaders including
the Mayor Pro-Tem of Charlotte, NC, Director of the Concen-trated
Employment Programs, and Past Director of the Black
58 Report of The Adjutant General
Sterling Community Foundation at NCANG Base to familiarize
them with the NCANG's 1972 Black Recruiting Project.
9. Representatives from 13 North Carolina business firms were
guests of the NCANG on 9 April 1972. A slide presentation of the
NCANG was given after a Base Tour and lunch in the dining
hall. Replica pen sets shaped like the State of North Carolina
were presented to the employers for their past support of the
NCANG.
10. Officers and airmen of the 156 Aeromedical Evacuation
Flight, NCANG, funded and coached 2 Little League Baseball
Teams in Charlotte, NC.
11. An "Easter Egg Hunt" was sponsored by the 263rd Mo-bile
Communications Squadron (Contg) for 83 underprivileged
elementary school children from Stanley County.
12. 263 Mobile Communications Squadron (Contg) personnel
established program for caring for senior citizens. Program con-sisted
of visiting, writing letters for senior citizens, furnishing
cosmetics and toiletries, music programs and providing meals.
13. In addition to the above, some 53 talks and programs were
presented to civic and church groups by key officer and NCO
personnel. Subjects were the NC Air National Guard, Patriotism,
Our Flag, God and Country, Loyalty, and similar themes. At a
conservative average of 25 in attendance, this represents public
relations/promotions to over 1300 civic and lay leaders in the
general vicinities of Charlotte and Badin.
14. Our NC Chapter of the NCO Academy Graduates Associa-tion,
Chapter Seven, has been responsible for many of these
projects. An organization of high motivated NCO's, it also lists
among its achievements the following:
a. An organized Color Guard available for parades, ex-hibitions,
and ceremonies.
b. Distribution of some 5,000 bumper stickers proclaiming
"It's Great to be an American".
c. Distributed one hundred thousand "It's Great to be an
American" stamps, and 2,500 American flag lapel pins at various
conventions and meetings.
d. Instrumental in assisting local civic clubs in promoting
the sale and appropriate display of American flags.
e. Most active and instrumental in promoting the NC
Guard/Jaycees program to secure signatures in support of the
Report of The Adjutant General 59
National POW Signature Day. Speeches, erection and manning
of booths were exemplary and contributed greatly to the success
in obtaining some 655,000 signatures.
f. Several members have presented programs on drug
abuse to Guardsmen, church, and civic groups. An active pro-gram
on drug abuse has been established.
15. The NC ANG hosted the eleventh annual NO National
Guard Convention in Charlotte. Nearly seven hundred Guards-men
and their wives participated in this event. The NC ANG is
a strong believer in good public relations and identification with
the community, and, has contributed materially to the good
image enjoyed by the Guard.

REPORT ON AUDIT, YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1968,
JUNE 30, 1969 AND JUNE 30, 1970
The Advisory Budget Commission
Raleigh, North Carolina
Gentlemen:
We have made an examination of the accounts and records of the
DEPARTMENT OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL
Raleigh, North Carolina
for the years ended June 30, 1968, June 30, 1969 and June 30, 1970, and sub-mit
herewith our report.
Exhibit "A" and its supporting Schedules A-1 and A-2 report the trans-actions
of the Current Operations Fund and w^ill be found to be self-explana-tory.
The additional appropriation of $249,472.00 from the Contingency and
Emergency Fund in 1967-68 included $11,500.00 for the North Carolina
Military Academy and $30,000.00 to cover two death claims awarded by the
Industrial Commission to two national guardsmen. The remaining amount
from C & E and transfers of $500,000.00 and $100,000.00 from the Motor
Vehicles Department and Dept. of Administration respectively were needed
to cover additional expenses incurred in the call to active duty of the Na-tional
Guard. In the fiscal year of 1968-69, a $200,000.00 appropriation from
the Contingency and Emergency Fund was required to cover expenses of the
call to duty of the National Guard. An appropriation of $47,891.00 was made
from the Contingency and Emergency Fund in 1969-70 for the following
purposes: $20,941.00 to cover death benefits payable to the widow and
children of a national guardsman who died on state duty; $7,000.00 for the
activation of several units for two missing person searches; $19,950.00
awarded to widows and national guardsmen injured in an explosion at the
Winston-Salem national guard armory on September 27, 1969.
Exhibit "B" and its supporting Schedules B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4 report
the operations of the North Carolina Armory Commission. This Commission
is charged with the responsibility of acquiring sites and constructing and
maintaining suitable armories for the various National Guard Units and
other military establishments throughout the State. The construction of
armories is a joint operation of Local, State, and Federal Governments. Ap-proximately
75% of the cost of construction is reimbursed by the Federal
Government. There are a few armories in the State constructed entirely by
the Federal Government as noted on Exhibit "C".
j
It will be noted that the unexpended balance in the Current Operations ;
Code 12023 is not reverted at the end of each year, but is transferred to the •
1963 Capital Improvement Code 66303 as provided in G.S. 143-236.1. '

GENERAL INFORMATION
The following report of the operation of activities of the USPFO for
North Carolina for Fiscal Years 1971 and 1972, beginning 1 July 1970 and
ending 30 June 1972, is respectfully submitted.
The USPFO is authorized this State under the provisions of Title 10,
United States Code, Section 672(d). The required duties of this position are

the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force by means of Army and Air
Force Regulations, National Guard Bureau Regulations and other directives.
In the Comptroller area, he is responsible for the proper financial planning,

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 sup-plies
furnished and equipment loaned to the State by the Federal Govern-ment
for the training support of Federally recognized Army and Air
National Guard units and activities. The USPFO is appointed by the Na-tional
Guard Bureau as the Federal Contracting Officer and designated the

86 Report of The Adjutant General *
COMPTROLLER i
Total Federal funds expended (see Annex B) including pay for Inactive
Duty Training amount to $19,776,818.00 during FY 1971 and $23,590,782.00
during FY 1972. This represented an obligation rate of 99.85% of total
funds allocated for both fiscal years.
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
The increased responsibility being given to the National Guard by the
Department of Defense and the phase-down of the war in Southeast Asia
has resulted in many new items of equipment being added to our inventory.
Additional funds have made it possible to continue the over-all improve-ment
of authorized TOE and TDA equipment. This has brought about the
highest level of operational readiness that we have ever enjoyed.
A major percentage of units in the State have been selected to participate
in tests authorized by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. These units
have all benefited by the large quantities of new and reconditioned equip-ment
received due to their selection. Major items of equipment received
during the period of this report are listed in Annex D.
The Weekend Training Equipment Pool (WETEP) was redesignated as
an Annual Training Equipment Pool (ATEP) and many additional pieces
of equipment have been added for use by the units for both weekend and
annual training. These assets are listed at Annex E to this report.
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 re-ceived
on each of these inspections. There were no major deficiencies noted.
The vehicles and equipment used by the USPFO Warehouse were in-spected
by the Maintenance Assistance Inspection Team (MAIT) 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 of the Accounts of the Assistant USPFO (Fiscal),
NC Air National Guard, Charlotte, N. C. A rating of Satisfactory was
received and no major deficiencies noted.
The USAF Auditor General Resident Office, Shaw AFB, South Carolina,
conducted an audit of the NC Air National Guard during each Fiscal Year
and found them completely in order.
Headquarters, Ninth Air Force (Tactical Air Command), Shaw AFB,
South Carolina, conducted a "no notice" inspection of the Assistant USPFO
(Fiscal, Property and Real Property), NC Air National Guard. No ratings
are given; however, no major deficiencies were noted.
Report of The Adjutant General 87
Seven inspections were performed by the USPFO Examiners at the NC
Air National Guard during the two Fiscal Years. No major deficiencies
were disclosed during any of these inspections.
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 administered
by this office for the support of facilities used by the North Carolina Na-tional
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 twenty-two (22) Internal
Reviews of various USPFO functions during the reporting period to evaluate
financial and internal controls.
