OP
THE ADJUTANT GENERAL
OF THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 1950—JULY 31, 1951
To: Ris Excellency, The Governor of North Carolina and Com-mander-
in-Chief of the State Military Forces. Executive
Office, Raleigh, North Carolina.
Sir: Submitted herein is a report of the operations of The
Adjutant General's Department for the years 1950 and 1951.
COMMENDATIONS
Several organizations, officers, and men of the National Guard
have received the commendation of Regular Army and Air In-structors,
and especially noteworthy is the commendation by
General Gillem, Third Army Commander, for the National Guard
of North Carolina. Such recognition on the part of federal offi-cers
is an evidence of the organization, state of training and
efficiency attained, for which the officers and non-commissioned
officers and enlisted personnel are to be congratulated.
STORAGE BUILDINGS
Embodied in my report for 1949 was information that as of
30 June 1949 there had been constructed and contracted for
twenty-seven (27) motor storage buildings with funds provided
by the Federal government at a total cost of $679,619,69. Since,
and as of 31 July 1951, nine (9) additional storage buildings and
one hangar have been constructed at a further cost of $191,277.62.
In the absence of proper armories in several communities, these
buildings are providing armory facilities for the local units in
addition to their use for storage of heavy equipment. In addi-tion
to such occupancy, in a few there has been set up service
centers, to which near by units send motor and ordnance equip-ment
for repairs.
6 Report of The Adjutant General
armories
Though the Congress of the United States has provided Fed-eral
aid to the states for the erection of armories, no funds have
as yet been made available. The appropriation bill now before
the Congress provides $16,000,000 with which to construct one
hundred thirteen (113) new armories to house 204 units and to
expand 34 existing armories throughout the states of the union.
$8,000,000 for construction of additional motor storage build-ings,
warehouses, hangars, and target ranges. Armories located
as follows, and originally built with Federal funds provided
through Works Progress Administration in 1937 and 1938, aug-mented
by ground and funds furnished by the respective com-munities,
are now the property of the State
:
Morganton New Bern Washington Roanoke Rapids
Salisbury High Point Wilson
APPROPRIATIONS
The General Assembly of 1951 made ample provision for the
military department. There was also appropriated to The Arm-ory
Commission $100,000 for each year of the biennium to be
applied to armory construction and otherwise as authorized by
law.
SURVEY BY PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT
The Personnel Department made a survej'' of our department
during the period October 1950-May 1, 1951 ; such surveys hav-ing
been and to be conducted in all State Departments. This
for the classification of the work of the department by desks and
to establish classifications for the employees. Minimum and
maximum salary brackets were set for each classification and
the salary of each employee was established. The visitations of
the representative of the Personnel Department were most pleas-ant
and satisfactory. Only two or three cases affecting individ-uals
and their classification caused any argument, but in each
a satisfactory conclusion was reached. Mr. Hilton and Mr. Mc-
Devitt, who succeeded him as Director, and all other personnel
of his office were most cooperative with our suggestions and
requests. The manner of conducting the survey was efficient
and I express to all concerned sincere appreciation.
Report of The Adjutant General 7

The 378th Engineer Battalion is now serving in Korea, and it
is understood, very efficiently. The guard had built up to a
strength of 726 officers and 6,971 EM ; total, 7,697 both Army
and Air, as of 31 July prior to induction of any of our troops.
SERVICE SCHOOLS
In the year 1950, 259 officers and enlisted men of our National
Guard attended Service Schools of the various branches of the
service, and up to 31 July 1951, 115 officers and 406 EM had
attended.
CAMPS OF INSTRUCTION—1950-1951
During the summer of 1950, our 30th Division, under com-mand
of Major General John Hall Manning, excepting the 130th
Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion, encamped at Fort Jackson,
South Carolina. The separate field artillery battalions also had
their field training at Fort Jackson with the Division. In 1950,
the 252d AAA Group, under command of Colonel Kenneth M.
Corbett, composed of the 150th AAA Gun Bn. and the 725th
AAA AW Bn., plus the 130th AAA AW Bn of the Division, en-camped
at Camp Stewart, Georgia. In 1951 the 30th Division,
embodying all components, had its field training at Fort McClel-lan,
Alabama. The separate field artillery battalions, not in
active Federal service, also had their training at Fort McClellan
at the same time with the Division. Again in 1951 the 252d AAA
Group encamped at Camp Stewart, Georgia. The training of
8 Report of The Adjutant General
our troops in both years was most satisfactory, especially the
troops at McClellan in 1950 and received compliments and the
commendation of Inspecting Officers.
ARMY AND AIR INSTRUCTORS
The present Senior Army Instructor, Colonel Lee C. Bizzell,
0-10250 Inf., with office in The Adjutant General's Department,
has shown a deep interest in his assignment and has been ener-getic
in his personal visitations to the units of the guard at their
respective home stations. He is quiet, though forceful, and has
a thorough understanding of the problems of the National Guard.
His service to the guard of this State has been most beneficial,
especially in its training. The office personnel under his super-vision,
assigned to duty with the several branches of the service
and stationed within the area of their supervision, have ren-dered
valuable service to our reorganized National Guard. To
the non-commissioned personnel of the Army and Air Force I
offer my appreciation for their valuable services. Especially,
I commend the Sergeant-Instructors in the office of the Senior
Instructor for their cooperation with my department and for their
interest and efficient work in the interest of the National Guard.
THE UNITED STATES PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER
Lt. Colonel Michael H. Austell, who with former service in
the office he now holds, and who assumed the duties of the United
States Property and Disbursing Officer on 2 October 1947, con-tinues
to perform his duties with efficiency. His knowledge of
his duties, the thoroughness and care with which he considers
the regulations and directives pertaining to his work, are out-standing.
Since World War II the State USP&DO is in active
Federal service and is under control of the Chief, National Guard
Bureau, Department of the Army, and is assigned to duty as
Acting United States Property and Disbursing Officer for the
State. Colonel Austell has been Federally recognized as a full
Colonel on the State Staff, North Carolina National Guard, but
since he was on active duty during World War II, and at the time
of his appointment as USP&DO, he was still in U. S. service and
under regulations of the Army, he has been recognized by the
Army in his rank of Lieutenant Colonel, which rank he held at
the end of the war.
Report of The Adjutant General 9
staff and employees
the adjutant general's department
The staff and employees of this department merit the respect
and confidence of the State and Department of the Army and
Air. The staff members are officers of experience in the Na-tional
Guard and of World War II. They are efficient and per-form
their duties with interest and intelligence. Several em-ployees
of the USP&DO Office and of The Adjutant General's
Section have many years of service v^^ith the department. It is
largely through the efficiency of his staff and employees, that
the head of a department may effectively "Carry On" to the
benefit of the State and Federal Government.
RETIREMENT
With the background of service in the National Guard in my
enlistment as a Private in Company C, 2d N. C. State Guard in
1894, followed by appointment as an officer in 1900, I requested
to be relieved of active service as The Adjutant General, effective
31 July 1951, subject to retirement based upon accrued annual
leave due me. My leave status expires as of 12 September 1951,
upon which date I will be placed upon the retired list, thereby
ending thirty-one (31) years of service as The Adjutant General
of North Carolina. Lt. Colonel Thomas B. Longest, of The Ad-jutant
General's Staff, has been designated by the Commander-in-
Chief to temporarily serve as Acting The Adjutant General,
effective 1 August 1951.

b. Air Guard
Buildings to house Type C Radar Stations of Air Control & Warning
Squadron were contracted for and erected as follows:
Location Cost
Badin $49,683.35
Wadesboro 49,683.35
These buildings are quite suitable for the purpose for which they were
built and are modern in every way. In each case, localities secured the
sites. Buildings are suitably fenced, have deep wells for water supply and
separate sewage disposal facilities. These buildings are now not occupied, as
the Units for which constructed were mobilized by the time buildings were
completed.
7. This office desires to express appreciation to the Adjutant General of
the State, Army Instructors and Advisors, Organization Commanders, other
individuals, and employees who by their cooperation and assistance have
made the operation of the Office possible. At the Annual Inspection made
by the Inspector General, Third Army, the rating given the Office and Ware-house
was Superior.

b. The training as a whole received by the 30th Infantry Division and
the non-divisional units of the North Carolina National Guard while at the
summer training camp in Fort Jackson between 2 July and 16 July 1950 was
highly satisfactory, and from the instructors and commanders concerned supe-rior
to the two preceding years. In the opinion of the undersigned the credit
for this may be attributed to the following reasons:
(1) A higher standard of armory training at their home stations.
(2) A better coordination of ranges and service practice at camp with
other training requirements.
(3) Prior to actual firing of crew-served weapons, schools were established
by the units concei-ned with the assistance of the Regular Army In-struction
Teams.
(4) A better conception of the Army Aviation Program was brought about
during this encampment by a broader semi-tactical usage of aircraft by
Infantry and Artillery commanders, and more advanced flight training.
(5) No fatalities or serious accidents occurred during the summer camp
training period.
(6) As a matter of record, one unit of the 30th Infantry Division, Service
Battery, 112th Field Artillery Battalion, had 100% field training at-tendance
for two consecutive years.
c. Unfavorable aspects of field training conducted.
(1) The failure of many units to complete their individual weapons
qualification courses prior to camp. It must be understood, how-ever,
that this was mainly due to the lack of range facilities near
the home stations of the units, and lack of funds for week-end firing
at Fort Bragg or Camp Butner.
(2) Insufficient training on crew-served weapons at their home sta-tions.
Many of these weapons were issued to these units only a
short time prior to summer camp.
(3) Motor march discipline during movement to and from camp dem-onstrated
a lack of convoy training.
(4) The shortage of T/0 & E vehicles adversely affected the training.
(5) The shortage of T/0 & E technical equipment of the 449th Field Ar-tillery
Observation Battalion seriously handicapped the armory
training of this battalion.
(6) Lack of trained radio technicians and operators.
(7) The Atomic Warfare School for officers during certain afternoons
had a detrimental effect on training. Schools of this type, if required
by existing orders, should be held in the evening after the normal
day's training is completed.
Report of The Adjutant General 23
(8) The present issue of two cotton, khaki, trousers and two cotton,
khaki, shirts for individuals at their home stations is inadequate
for camp use. Slow laundry service and a lack of proper clothing
do not add to the self-respect and morale, or the appearance of the
soldier.
Comments concerning Regular Army administrative, training, and logis-tical
support.
(1) As a whole the administrative, training, and logistical support fur-nished
by the Regular Army was excellent.
(2) Full cooperation was received from all personnel on the Post.
(3) Mess halls were better than last year, principally due to the installa-tion
of refrigeration.
(4) Food was excellent; preparation was improved upon by advanced
training of mess personnel.
(5) The training teams furnished by the Third Army did an outstand-ing
job. At this time I especially desire to commend the AAF Board
Training Team from Fort Bragg, N. C. for the superior training and
assistance they gave the 449th Field Artillery Observation Battalion.
If the AAF Team had not provided the technical equipment needed
by this Battalion, this training would have been lost.
Recommendations for future encampments and the preparations inci-dent
thereto.
(1) 111 order to permit small arms qualification courses to be fired prior
to units attending summer camp, it is recommended that at least
five additional ranges be constructed in strategic locations, as far
as centers of National Guard strength are concerned, in North
Carolina.
(2) With the NGTP's as a guide, stress those subjects for which the
need was shown in the past training period.
(3) The training of small unit commanders to be stressed throughout
the year.
(4) Additional organic vehicles be assigned to units.
(5) All officers and non-commissioned officers to receive more training
in the regulations governing convoys.
(6) That the regimental and battalion S-3's precede the main body to
camp by twenty-four hours for the purpose of reconnaissance and
coordination. This would tend to reduce confusion during the first
days of camp and would give the training a better start.
(7) More wash racks for washing vehicles be made available. If addi-tional
vehicles are furnished, more parking areas will also be re-quired.
(8) Sufficient funds allocated for the repair of all ranges at summer
camp prior to the arrival of the first unit to be trained.
24 Report of The Adjutant General
(9) Every effort should be made to supply the 449th F. A. Obsn Bat-talion
with its T/0 & E technical equipment to permit training at
their home stations, as well as in the field.
(10) The advanced details in the future should be increased by at least
one-third.
(11) Members of the Rear Detachment should be paid on the date they
are due to depart from camp and not sooner.
(12) That Regular Army Instruction Teams similar to those furnished
this year be made available for next year's summer camp.

Report of The Adjutant General 25
b. The training received by the 252d AAA Gp, and the 130th AAA AW Bat-talion
of the 30th Infantry Division during the summer training period
at Camp Stewart, Georgia between 6 August and 20 August 1950 was
considered very satisfactory, and from the instructors and commanders
concerned superior to the two preceding years. Tliis may be attributed
to the following reasons:
(1) A higher standard of armory training at their home stations.
(2) More officers were capable of taking over the technical training of
their units than in former years.
(3) Messes as a whole were excellent, and in many instances superior
in the preparation and serving of food.
(4) It is worthy of note that the firing batteries of the 725th AAA AW
Battalion, although having only been activated from three to ten
months prior to camp, fired the 40 mm guns and the Ml 6 .50 Cal
machine gun at towed targets in a most commendable manner.
Two of these batteries had not seen a 40 mm gun or a .50 Cal machine
gun prior to field training.
(5) In the opinion of the undersigned the 94th Army band did an out-standing
job at Camp Stewart, and is one of the best I've seen in
many years.
c. Unfavorable aspects of field training conducted.
(1) The failure of many units to complete their individual weapons
qualification courses prior to camp. This was mainly due to lack of
range facilities near the home station of the units, and lack of funds
for week-end firing at Fort Bragg or Camp Butner.
(2) The shortage of weapons and technical equipment in the 725th AAA
AW Battalion handicapped the armory training of this battalion
prior to going to camp.
(3) The 252nd AAA Group did not complete their firing for individual
weapons qualification while in camp.
(4) The ground to air communication was poor, resulting in long de-lays
in correcting faulty tow target missions.
(5) Although the field training program of the 252d AAA Group for
this year's summer camp was approved by Headquarters Third
Army, it is believed by the undersigned that the three-day field
exercise as called for by "Section 1, General Instructions" of NGTP
44-12N should be a part of each year's summer training.
d. Comments concerning Regular Army administration, training and
logistical support.
(1) The administration as a whole was excellent.
(2) The assistance and training received from the Fort Bliss and Fort
Custer training teams were superior.
(3) There was some shortage of spare parts such as spline shafts for
40 mm guns which necessitated borrowing from other units to keep
weapons operative.
26 Report of The Adjutant General
e. Recommendations for future encampments and preparations incident
thereto:
(1) That additional small arms ranges be constructed in strategic loca-tions,
as far as centers of National Guard strength are concerned
in North Carolina to permit the authorized qualification course to
be fired prior to camp.
(2) A rocket launcher range be provided for firing familiarization
course while at camp.
(3) In future camps better coordination between air and ground should
be worked out prior to the beginning of firing of AAA weapons, so
that undue delay in firing will not result.
(4) Communication between the ranges, and between the ranges and
the air should be improved.
(5) That in future summer camps the requirements of Section 1, para-graph
4f(4), NGTP 44-12N, relating to field exercises and bivouacs
be carried out, weather permitting.
(6) That a small aggressor unit be made available for unit instruction
and field problems.
(7) That all battery grade officers be required to eat with their units
during the two weeks of summer camp. It is believed they will have
a better opportunity to supervise the messes with the least loss of
time from training.
(8) That Regular Army Instruction Teams similar to those furnished
this year be made available for next year's summer camp.

2. Personnel
The 252d AAA Group consisted of about one thousand (1,000) officers
and men for the third field training period. This number was made up of
both assigned and attached units. These units are listed as follows:

3. Movement to and from Field Training Site
a. The movement by assigned and attached units for the Field Train-ing
Period was executed in thirty three (33) serials. There were ten serials
in the advance party by motor, twelve in the main body by motor, and eleven
in the main body by rail.
b. The advance party from Williamston, N. C. left its home station as
a separate serial. The advance party from Beulaville, N. C. left its home
station and joined the advance party from Wallace, N. C. These two uni's
combined to make a serial. All advance parties from Wilmington were com-bined
into a separate serial. The advance parties from Sanford, Southern
Pines, St. Pauls, Raeford and Red Springs, N. C. all merged at a point one
(1) mile south of Laurinburg, N. C. to comprise another serial. The advance
parties from Bladenboro and Whiteville, N. C. joined at Whiteville, N. C. and
proceeded to Green Sea, S. C. where they were met by the advance party
from Fair Bluff, N. C. The advance party from Shallotte completed this
serial when it joined at a point one (1) mile south of Georgetown, S. C. All
of the serials in the advance party by motor left their home stations on
3 August 1950 and proceeded in their respective convoys, the last serial
arriving at Camp Stewart, Ga. at 2100, 3 August 1950.
c. The serials in the main body by motor were comprised in the same
manner and by the same units as those of the advance party by motor shown
28 Report of The Adjutant General
in 3 (b) above. In addition to the above named serials the 3624 Ord. MM
Company left its home station, Raleigh, N. C, as a separate serial. Hq & Hq
Detachment NCNG also left its home station Raleigh, N. C, as a separate
serial. The serials of the main body, except the two serials from Raleigh,
N. C, combined and bivouaced for the night at a pre-arranged site. All se-rials
of the main body by motor left their respective home stations on 5 Aug-ust
1950, the last serial arriving at the bivouac area at 1700, 5 August 1950.
The bivouac area was located about three (3) miles south of Green Pond,
S. C. at Myrtle Grove Plantation, on an unimproved road. The coordinates
of the bivouac area are G-3-12.1 as shown on Standard Oil map (North Caro-lina-
South Carolina, 1949). The bivouac area was cleared at 0700, 6 August
1950. The 3624 Ord. MM Company bivouaced for the night at another site,
arriving Camp Stewart, Ga. at 1700, 6 August 1950. Hq & Hq Detachment
NCNG did not bivouac and arrived Camp Stewart, Ga. 1700, 5 August 1950.
d. The schedule for the movement of the main body by rail was changed
the day before departure due to the shortage of Pullman cars. These cars
were being used for transporting U. S. Marine Corps troops to California.
As a result, the movement was made wholly by day coach. The original
schedule called for three complete trains made up of Pullman cars. One
train was to have taken the units from Beulaville, Wallace, and Wilmington,
N. C. The second train to take units from Williamston, Red Springs, St.
Pauls, Whiteville, Bladenboro, Fair Bluff and Shallotte, N. C. The third
train to take units from Raleigh, Sanford and Southern Pines, N. C. These
trains were to have arrived at separate times at Camp Stewart, Ga., and the
personnel of the advance party made plans accordingly as to the unloading
and messing of the arriving troops. These plans were still in effect when the
troops arrived as no official notification had been received of the changes in
schedule. The main body by rail, however, departed in two trains on 5
August 1950. The first train was made up in the following manner:
The main body by rail from Beaulaville, N. C. moved by bus to Wallace,
N. C. and departed with the main body by rail from Wallace, N. C. on ACL
Train, and joined units of the main body by rail in Wilmington, N. C. These
units departed Wilmington, N. C. on ACL Train Extra and arrived White-ville,
N. C, where the main body by rail from Whiteville, Bladenboro, Fair
Bluff and Shallotte, N. C. were combined with the main body from Wilming-ton.
The units from Bladenboro, Fair Bluff and Shallotte, N. C. had mo-ved
by bus to arrive at Whiteville, N. C. in time to depart by train. This train
departed Whiteville, N. C. and arrived Florence, S. C. where it was combined
with train carrying units of the main body by rail from Williamston, St.
Pauls, and Red Springs, N.C. The main body by rail from Williamston, N. C.
departed by bus and arrived Rocky Mount, N. C. in time to depart on ACL
Train # 89. The main body by rail from St. Pauls and Red Springs, N. C. also
departed by bus and arrived Fayetteville, N. C. in time to depart on ACL
Train # 89. This train arrived at Florence, S. C. and was combined with the
units on ACL Train Extra from Wilmington, N. C. ACL Train Extra with
all units listed above departed Florence S. C. and arrived Camp Stewart, Ga.
at 0730, 6 August 1950.
The second train was made up in the following manner:
94th Army Band departed Raleigh, N. C. via SAL Train # 7, and the
main body by rail from Sanford and Southern Pines, N. C. joined the same
Report of The Adjutant General 29
train at their respective home stations. These units arrived Savannah, Ga.,
and departed on ACL Train # 189 arriving at Camp Stewart at 0809, 6 Aug-ust
1950.
e. The movement for the return trip v^^as patterned after the schedule
described above in reverse order, with all units arriving 20 August 1950. The
main body by rail moved according to the original schedule as Pullman cars
were available. The rear party arrived at home stations 21 August 1950.
f. Proper convoy discipline was observed by the motor movements with
rest and meal halts at proper intervals. No accidents or motor trouble were
incurred. Train Commanders checked all trains for breakage. The entire
movement, both to and from camp, was very orderly and was executed in a
military manner.
4. Campsite
The camp site was made up of a tent area for living quarters and build-ings
for all headquarters, supply rooms, motor repair shops and mess halls.
The enlisted men occupied squad tents with officers using pyramidal tents.
Both types of tents had cement floors and electric lights but no screened
side walls. Drainage was no problem as it rained only once. Mosquitoes were
no problem due to the lack of rain. Post Headquarters, barber shops, theater
and PX were all within walking distance.
5. Supplies
a. Post personnel at Camp Stewart, Ga. helped in every way possible
to secure supplies for units of this command. The U.S.P. and D.O. of North
Carolina had his representative at camp, and he signed for all property and
distributed it to the various units, with help from the Group S-4. One ware-house
was at his disposal thus making the di-awing and turning in of supplies
much easier. Twenty-two (22) vehicles were assigned by the Post Motor
Officer to this command, which greatly reduced the transportation problem,
as the organic transportation of all units is far below authorization. Sup-plies
in general were drawn with the minimum of delay, with fullest coopera-tion
between camp personnel and personnel of this command.
b. There were ten (10) mess halls operated by the various units and
the food drawn was ample for all concerned. The mess halls were operated
efficiently with little waste of food. The Food Service Coordinator of Third
Army inspected all mess halls and was high in his praise of the efficient
manner of operation. All mess personnel attended a pre-camp cook's school
for three days prior to the arrival of the main body of troops. This school
was conducted by expert instructors from Third Army and proved to be very
helpful. Officers ate at the Post Officers Mess at a flat rate of $.40 per meal.
Food at this mess was below normal for the first week, but after a change of
personnel, it was excellent. This was during the second week.
6. Training
a. Training, thi'oughout the two week period was carried out accord-ing
to the approved schedule issued prior to camp, with very few changes.
All men showed great interest in all phases of training and were eager to
learn. Schools were conducted for communications men, radio operators, bat-tery
clerks, first sergeants and supply personnel. The schools were very bene-ficial
and well conducted. All gun batteries fired 90 MM at aerial towed
30 Report of The Adjutant General
sleeves and anti-mechanized ground targets. These batteries scored 8 hits
on the aerial sleeves. The 130th AAA AW Bn (SP) fired 40 MM and M-16
half tracks mounted with 50 cal. machine guns. The M-16's were on a loan
basis. Firing was done at aerial towed sleeves, OQ-19 radio controlled planes
and at anti-mechanized ground targets. Eleven hits were scored on aerial
targets. The 725th AAA AW Bn, which was in its first field training period
fired 40 MM and quadruple mounted 50 cal. machine guns at aerial towed
sleeves and OQ-19 radio controlled planes. This unit made seven (7) hits on
aerial targets and did an excellent job of firing, since they had not seen the
guns until arriving at camp.
b. The Group S-2 aided by an Instructor from the Fort Bliss team
made a AAAIS operations board, trained personnel, and put into operation
the board during a CPX problem that was conducted.
c. (1) The 130th AAA AW Bn (SP) went on a three day field problem.
Radio communication between their field headquarters and camp was main-tained.
The Battalion simulated the AAA defense of a division in position.
Field messes were set up and food was excellent. Their regular training
schedule was carried out in the field. Morale in the field was very high and
the proficiency of all men increased.
(2) The 150th AAA Gun Bn conducted a two day CPX problem on the
parade ground. The Battalion was set up in field positions with communi-cations
established to all batteries. For every installation set up, an in-structor
was assigned to explain the function of that installation to groups
of men who were constantly visiting them. The purpose of the CPX was to
acquaint all men in the battalion with the operation and function of the bat-talion
as a whole. The results of the CPX were excellent, since all men
were given instruction in the lay out of a gun battalion in the field.
d. The 94th Army Band, NCNG, assisted greatly in gaining the maxi-mum
benefit from the training schedule. They played for reveille, retreat,
close order drill, practice for parade and at all ceremonies. The orchestra
in the band played for two enlisted men dances and the band as a whole put
on numerous concerts. They were requested, and played for the Georgia
National Guard ceremony in conjunction with their Governors Day.
e. A records section, which had been trained during armory drills, was
set up and operated during the 90 MM firing. Records were kept and results
were tabulated on all firing by the gun batteries.
f. The 3624 Ord. MM Company was very helpful in the fine service ren-dered
in the repair and maintenance of trucks and guns. Their presence
greatly relieved the burden of the post ordnance personnel. They were very
willing, cooperative, and efficient in helping in any way possible. Lt. Col.
Foreman, State Maintenance Officer, and Lt. Fletcher, of the 3624 Ord. MM
Company were helpful with their cooperation, help and advice.
g. All AW firing was conducted on "K" range which was 15 miles from
camp proper, and 90 MM firing was conducted on "C" range which was about
2 miles from camp proper. Communications to these ranges was very poor
and caused considerable delay at times. Air-Ground communication was very
poor with only one radio being used for both ranges, which necessitated the use
of two more radios to relay messages. This caused considerable delay in
firing.
Report of The Adjutant General 31
h. This command set up a list of events in which all units were to be
judged during the full two week period and awards given for each event at
the end of camp. The events were as follows:
(1) Percentage of attendance at camp (awarded to large and small
units).
(2) Military efficiency (awarded to large and small units).
(3) Appearance of uniforms (awarded to large and small units).
(4) Best unit mess hall (awarded to large units only).
All units with 40 or more men were considered large. A group of 5 officers,
whose identity remained unknown, judged the events, and the following were
the winners:
(1) Percentage of attendance at camp—Large—Btry B 130th AAA AW
Bn (SP). Small—Medical Detachment 150th AAA Gun Bn.
(2) Military Efficiency—Large—Btry D 130th AAA AW Bn (SP) Small
—94th Army Band.
(3) Appearance of uniforms—Large—Hq Btry 252d AAA Group Small
—94th Army Band.
(4) Best unit mess hall—Hq Btry 252d AAA Group.
There was also another award given to the Battery having the best softball
team. Battery C 150th AAA Gun Bn won this award. These awards were
presented at the Post Theater on 19 August 1950. Col. Bizzell, Senior Army
Instructor, NCNG, made the presentations. At this assembly, the 94th Army
Band was awarded the Eisenhower Trophy for excellence during the year
1949.
i. Post personnel and the AAA Instruction teams from Fort Bliss, Texas
and Fort Custer, Michigan, were very helpful, cooperative and very imple-mental
in the successful manner in which the training was carried out.
j. Training for the third field training period was well coordinated, and
at all times was carried on with the aim of accomplishing all possible train-ing
that could not be accomplished with any degree of practicability during
armory training.
7. Inspections
During the two weeks camp there were many inspections. It is felt that
the type of inspections conducted, as well as the obvious interest of the in-specting
officers, had a profound effect on the attitude of all. The following
inspected:
a. Col. Albergotti, and a group of officers representing the Inspector
General, Third Army, who inspected all units for the full two weeks period.
b. Col. Hunter H. Harris, Army Instructor of the 30th Division, accom-panied
by Lt. Col. Shimer, G-3 30th Division.
c. Col. Bizzell, Senior Army Instructor, NCNG.
d. Lt. Col. Klein, Food Service Coordinator, Third Army.
All inspecting officers seemed well satisfied.
8. Recommendations
The following recommendations are made in a constructive manner,
for the benefit and best interest of all future National Guard encampments:
32 Report of The Adjutant General
a. That tents be walled and screened.
b. That the 94th Army Band, NCNG, be attached for the 1951 field train-ing

c. That the AAA instruction team participate in future camps.
d. That the 3624 Ord. MM Company be attached for the 1951 field train-ing

e. That extra vehicles be loaned to units of this command at all future
encampments until assigned organic transportation has been considerably
increased.
f. That the U.S.P. & D.O. set-up be continued as it was during the 1950
field training period.
g. That the monetary value of rations drawn be furnished the Group
S-4 at the end of each day, as was done this year, to insure against over-drawing
of the authorized rations.
h. That the service club for EM be continued.
i. That this headquarters be informed well in advance of the number
of Reservists to be attached for training.
j. That an Army Postal Unit be attached for the 1951 field training

be returned for the 1951 field training period.
9. Commendations
a. Col. Kenneth M. Barager and his entire staff at Camp Stewart, Ga.,
including the AAA Instruction Teams from Fort Bliss, Texas and Fort Custer,
Michigan, should be highly commended for the fine cooperation given to this
command during the entire stay at camp. Post personnel continually exerted
themselves in the interest of a successful camp for the troops of this command.
The good spirit in which help was given greatly aided the success of the
third field training period of AAA units of NCNG and made our stay at Camp
SteR-art, Ga very pleasant and enjoyable.
b. Lt. Col. Frederick L. VanAtta, AAA Army Advisor, NCNG, Wilming-ton,
N. C, Major Lee M. Kirby, AAA Army Instructor, Raeford, N. C, Capt.
Edwin 0. Nichols, AAA Army Advisor, NCNG, "Wilmington, N. C. and their
assistants who are Sgt. Icl Alvin A. Bischoff, Sgt. John H. Highsmith, Sgt.
William F. Buck, and Sgt. William E. Marler should also be highly commend-ed
for the great amount of assistance given to all units of this command, both

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
1 November 1950
SUBJECT: Report of Field Training, 2-16 July 1950
TO: The Adjutant General
Raleigh, North Carolina
1. Pursuant to paragraph 3, GO No. 13, AGD, NC, dated 19 May 1950, the
report of the field training period, 2-16 July 1950, Selective Service Section,
Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, NC NG, is respectfully submitted
herein. Of the twelve officers who are not on extended active duty, one was
granted leave of absence per paragraph 2, SO No. 385, AGD, NC, dated 9 June
1950, and the remaining eleven reported for duty 2 July 1950. All eleven
were present for the entire duration of the field training period. The train-ing
was carried on in the office of State Headquarters, North Carolina Select-ive
Service System, where records and materials were available for training
purposes. Attached hereto is a copy of the field training schedule. The
schedule was followed closely until Saturday, 8 July 1950. The first week's
program was completed on Friday afternoon. The State Director on Friday
afternoon received instructions that in view of the Korean emergencies he
should reestablish all local board offices and to complete reorganization of the
North Carolina Selective Service System and have it ready to immediately
function in delivery of inductees to the armed forces. In view of this situa-tion,
it was felt that the personnel of the Selective Service Section could
acquire practical experience in assisting with the many problems attendant
to the reorganization.
2. Projects Nos. 2, 3 and 4 were carried on and the personnel assigned to
those committees worked on those projects until completed. The four remain-ing
officers were utilized in various capacities in this headquarters and were
augmented by the others as they completed their assigned projects.
3. The field training schedule is based on the field training program ap-proved
by Colonel George A. Irvin, Chief, Field Division, National Head-quarters,
Selective Service System, in letter dated 14 June 1950. Project
No. 1 was completed before the limited emergency. The solutions submitted
by the three committees were developed into a composite organization evolv-ing
the most desirable features of each. The knowledge and information
brought out in this discussion was of material value to the State Director in
organizational planning for a State Headquarters in event of expansion due to
a general emergency. Many of the thoughts developed in this discussion will
be incorporated in the new organization tables and charts. Projects Nos. 2,
3 and 4 were completed as it was felt that the information thus developed
would probably be of value in event the limited emergency should become
general. In addition, the individuals assigned to the projects were acquir-ing
experience that could be utilized to advantage in case of a general ex-pansion.
4. The practical experience acquired by this staff during the second week
was undoubtedly of greater value than the planned theoretical training. The
officers were given individual specific assignments and without exception
34 Report of The Adjutant General
completed them in a creditable manner with limited guidance. Not only is
it felt that the practical experience was of benefit to them but their efforts
were a real contribution to the State Director at a time of serious need.
5. In summarizing the effectiveness of the field training, it is our opinion
that the group received a better understanding of the responsibilities and
problems of staff members of a State Headquarters of Selective Service System.
1 am happy to report that after practical utilization of the services of these
officers it is still my considered opinion that they are qualified to fill the posi-tions
for which they are being trained.

General Orders
No. 2 20 January 1950
1. With profound sorrow, the death of
CAPTAIN GERALD BARBER GOFORTH, O- 1020286
Commanding Officer, Company "M", 120th Infantry, NC NG, on
10 January 1950 is announced.
2. Captain Goforth was born in Marion, North Carolina, 1 Decem-ber
1914, and later in life moved to Shelby, Cleveland County, North
Carolina, where eventually he entered the Legal Profession, and
where he spent the remaining years of his life. He was a graduate
of the Shelby High School and, having energy and ambition, studied
law at home. He then attended the University Law School at Ashe-ville,
N. C, graduating in 1936. He was a member of the North
Carolina Bar Association, a member of the Methodist Church, and
was a teacher in the Sunday School of his church in Shelby. An
outstanding young lawyer, highly respected by his colleagues, he
took an active interest in the politics affecting his community and
was active in civic affairs.
3. Captain Goforth was a young man of sterling qualities; he was
admired by, and had the confidence of those with whom he came
in contact. In his sudden death, his community has lost a valued
citizen. The National Guard has lost a most valuable, efficient,
and faithful officer. Sincerest sympathy is extended his family in
this hour of bereavement.
RECORD OP MILITARY SERVICE

World War II in January 1945, and was admitted to the Officers'
Candidate School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 8 June 1945; appointed 2nd

Upon release from active federal service, he was transferred to the
Organized Reserve Corps, Cavalry, on 12 November 1946, appointed
a 1st Lieutenant, Infantry, North Carolina National Guard, and re-ceived
his federal recognition, effective 10 March 1947. As a Lieuten-ant,
he organized Company "M", 120th Infantry at Shelby, N. C. and
