THE ADJUTANT GENERAL
OF THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY 1953—31 DECEMBER 1954
To: His Excellency, The Governor of North Carolina and Com-mander-
in-Chief of the State Military Forces, State Capitol,
Raleigh, North Carolina.
Sir : Submitted herein is a report of the operation of the Adju-tant
General's Department for the years 1953-1954.
COMMENDATIONS
The North Carolina National Guard, both Army and Air, con-tinued
to receive its usual and customary commendations from
Regular Army and Air Instructors and the Commanding Gen-eral,
Third Army. Such recognition is indicative of the organ-ization,
state of training, and efficiency attained, for which the
officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted personnel are to
be congratulated.
Battery B, 113th Field Artillery Battalion at Dunn was award-ed
the Third Army National Guard Training Trophy for the
calendar year 1952. This trophy is awarded to the outstand-ing
National Guard unit in the Third Army Area for each cal-endar
year, based on certain training criteria. This is the second
consecutive year that this trophy has been won by this battery
and is the only time that any unit in the Third Army Area has
twice won this trophy.
Tank Company, 139th Infantry (formerly Tank Company,
119th Infantry), Parkton, was awarded the Eisenhower Trophy
for outstanding performance during 1952, and Company F, 139th
Infantry (formerly Company F, 120th Infantry), Albemarle,
was the recipient of this trophy for outstanding performance
during 1953. This trophy was established in 1948 in honor of
President Eisenhower when he was General of the Army and
Chief of Staff, and is awarded each year to the company-size
6 Report of The Adjutant General
Army National Guard unit in each state, territory, and the Dis-trict
of Columbia on the basis of outstanding performance in
training, attendance, weapons qualifications, strength, and other
factors.
Immediately following the formal part of this report there is
a rating report under Annual Armory Inspections for fiscal year
1954-1955. Since a good many units were redesignated, the pre-vious
designation is shown in parenthesis under the present des-ignation,
and the rating received is on line with the present or
previous designation, depending upon the designation of the
unit at the time the inspection was made. For the fiscal year
1954, 7 units were rated Superior, 82 were rated Excellent, 17
were rated satisfactory, and 2 were rated unsatisfactory. For
the fiscal year 1955, 16 were rated Superior, 81 were rated Excel-lent,
17 were rated Satisfactory, and none rated Unsatisfactory.
The following units were rated Satisfactory for both years : Med-ical
Company, 120th Infantry; Service Battery, 690th Field Ar-tillery
Battalion; Headquarters and Headquarters and Service
Company, 105th Engineer Battalion ; Company B, 105th Engineer
Battalion ; Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 295th Field
Artillery Battalion ; Battery A, 295th Field Artillery Battalion.
The following units received Superior ratings for 1954 and
1955: 30th Infantry Division Band (formerly 94th Army Band) ;
Service Company, 119th Infantry; Headquarters and Headquar-ters
Company, 2nd Battalion, 119th Infantry; Company E, 119th
Infantry (formerly Company L, 119th Infantry) ; Company E,
120th Infantry; Company B, 139th Infantry (formerly Company
B, 119th Infantry) ; Company F, 139th Infantry (formerly Com-pany
F, 120th Infantry). These units are to be congratulated
upon this very fine achievement.
ARMORIES
In the previous report, a summary of this program is given.
The Congress of the United States continued its appropriations
for fiscal years 1954 and 1955. For the latter year, the appro-priation
was $27,000,000.00, the largest made by Congress for
this purpose. Federal funds, therefore, are available to match
State funds on a 75% -25% basis in practically an unlimited
amount.
In order that the record might be complete, it is considered
appropriate to give detailed information with respect to our
armory construction program. The table immediately following
gives this information

The total cost of these 17 armories was $1,648,235.50. Of this
amount. The Federal Government contributed $1,236,176.62 and
the State of North Carolina contributed $412,058.88. The aver-age
cost of these 17 armories including the Fayetteville addition,
is $96,955.03. The average cost without the Fayetteville addi-tion
is $95,812.21. The addition to the Fayetteville armory cost
$19,428.00 and was made necessary because of the decision to
organize an additional unit in Fayetteville after the construction
of a one-unit armory there was well under way. Of the armories
listed above, the following house 2 units each : Lenoir, Kinston,
Ahoskie, and Fayetteville.
With the letting of contracts for the Hickory armory and the
addition to the Fayetteville armory. State funds for armory con-struction
were exhausted. Anticipating, however, that some
means would be provided whereby the armory construction pro-gram
could be continued, the North Carolina Armory Commission
recommended the following priorities for new armories when
funds became available. These have been submitted to and ap-proved
by all the agencies of the Government which are required,
and construction has been authorized when State matching funds
are available:

26 Rocky Mount
Early in June, 1954, the city-owned armory at Charlotte, which
housed 5 units of the Army National Guard, was destroyed by
fire. The City Council of the City of Charlotte immediately pro-posed
to advance to the North Carolina Armory Commission the
State's share of the cost of construction of a new armory, with
the understanding that this money would be repaid to the City
of Charlotte, without interest, if and when the General Assembly
appropriated funds to construct Armory No. 25, the priority for
which Charlotte had been recommended. This proposal was ac-cepted
by the North Carolina Armory Commission. Graves &
Toy, Architects of Charlotte, were employed to prepare the plans
and specifications. At the end of the year substantial progress
had been made and it was believed that invitations for bids could
be advertised to be received the latter part of April or early part
of May.
During the period 1935-1940, there were 30 armories construct-ed
under the Works Progress Administration program, which
envisaged contribution of site by local community, financial con-tribution
of from 15% to 25% by local community, and the re-mainder
by the Federal Government. Armories constructed un-der
this program at Greenville, High Point, Morganton, New
Bern, Parkton, Salisbury, Washington, Whiteville, and Wilson
have been conveyed to the State of North Carolina, and the arm-ories
at Dunn and Roanoke Rapids have been leased to the State
of North Carolina for 25 years. Reidsville and Edenton are con-sidering
a conveyance of their respective armories to the State.
National Guard units are occupying city and /or county-owned
WPA armories at Albemarle, Canton, Concord, Edenton, Gas-tonia,
Henderson, Leaksville, Louisburg, Monroe, Raeford, Ral-eigh,
Reidsville, Sanford, Shelby, Warrenton, Waynesville, and
Wilmington. We are preparing to activate a unit at Lumberton
which will occupy the armory there. The armory at Madison is
not available ; consequently no effort has been made to organize
a unit in that community.
The National Guard Bureau has authorized an addition to the
Armory at Wadesboro, occupied by a part of the 263rd Commun-ications
Squadron. This addition will cost $24,000.00 and will be
paid for in its entirety with Federal funds.
Report of The Adjutant General 9
(iOVKKXOH I'MSTEAIVS INAl'(iUKATIOX
Honorable William B. Umstead of Durham was inaugurated
Governor of North Carolina on Thursday, 8 January 1953. Ap-proximately
2,000 North Carolina National Guardsmen partici-pated
in this inauguration, together with a battalion of infantry
and a battery of field artillery from the 82nd Airborne Division
at Fort Bragg. The National Guard units escorted the inaugural
party from the Governor's Mansion on Blount Street, leaving
there at 11 :00 a.m. and proceeding around the Capitol Square to
Fayetteville Street and thence to the Memorial Auditorium. Fol-lowing
the inaugural ceremonies at the auditorium, a very large
parade with the National Guard troops, the 82nd Airborne units,
the State College ROTC and many high school bands passed in
review up Fayetteville Street before the reviewing stand that
was located on the sidewalk in front of the store of Montgomery-
Ward Company. Army aviation flew over during the parade up
Fayetteville Street. The escort and parade were most impressive
and reflected much credit upon the National Guard units partici-pating.
HURRICANE HAZEL
Hurricane Hazel hit North Carolina on Friday, 15 October
1954, in the early morning and left a path of destruction from
the beaches in Brunswick County due north to the Virginia line,
including the beaches in New Hanover, Pender, Onslow, and
Carteret Counties. 11 Units of the North Carolina National
Guard were ordered into State service to protect property and
aid the civil authorities. The units are listed in the Special Order
appearing on page —. of this report. Many letters of commen-dation
and appreciation for the very fine service rendered by our
National Guardsmen in Brunswick, New Hanover, Pender, On-slow,
Carteret, and Beaufort Counties were received. Our Na-tional
Guardsmen really turned in an outstanding performance
and exhibited a most unselfish devotion to duty.
80TH INFANTRY DIVISION
Probably the most important event in the history of the North
Carolina National Guard came when Governor William B. Um-stead
gave his approval to the State of North Carolina accepting
the entire 30th Infantry Division. Our sister State of Tennessee,
which had about one-half of the Division, had renewed its re-quest
originally made in 1948 for an entire Division. The re-quest
came shortly after the State of Illinois announced that it
10 Report of The Adjutant General
would not reactivate the 44th Infantry Division which had been
called into Federal service from that State for service in the
Korean emergency. The National Guard Bureau was favorably
disposed toward the request of the State of Tennessee and it be-came
necessary to find a home for the Tennessee units of the 30th
Infantry Division. After many conferences, a Special Commit-tee
appointed by the Adjutant General came up with a unanimous
recommendation that the State of North Carolina accept the en-tire
30th Infantry Division and submitted a proposal for its
accomplishment. This proposal was submitted to Governor
Umstead and after his usual careful and deliberate consideration,
he gave his approval to the plan. The National Guard Bureau
was most happy over his decision and the administrative details
were worked out promptly to the end that the General Orders to
accomplish this objective were issued and made effective on 28
October 1954. 21 additional units were required to be organized
and substantial progress had been made by the end of the year
in completing the Division. While the National Guard Bureau
gave the State of North Carolina 18 months in which to complete
the organization, it is believed that this organization will be ac-complished
not later than the fall of 1955, or within less than 12
months.
It is the consensus of opinion of National Guard officers that
the 30th Infantry Division as North Carolina's own Old Hickory
Division can and will be made into an outstanding Division. It
is contemplated that this Division will train at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, in our own State in preference to training in another
state quite distant from our own. All units will be able to arrive
at Fort Bragg on the first day of the field training period and all
units can leave Fort Bragg on the last day and be at their respect-ive
home stations before midnight. This will enable the Division
to have 2 full weeks of training.
In organizing the 30th Infantry Division in North Carolina, it
was necessary to take a substantial portion from IV Corps Artil-lery
and other Non-Divisional units. The 378th Engineer Bat-talion
(Combat) (Army) became the 105th Engineer Battalion
(Combat) (Division). The 167th Military Police Battalion be-came
a part of the 119th Infantry. The 540th Field Artillery
Battalion (155 mm, Gun, TD) became a Division Artillery Bat-talion,
to-wit, the 540th Field Artillery Battalion (105 mm, How,
TD) . Part of the 690th Field Artillery Battalion and part of the
295th Field Artillery Battalion, both of the 196th Field Artillery
Group, were taken into the Division as the 690th Field Artillery
Report of The Adjutant General 11
Battalion (155 mm How). The 130th Antiaircraft Artillery
Battalion was converted into the 30th Reconnaissance Company
and the 130th Tank Battalion and the 725th Antiaircraft Artillery
Battalion of the 252nd Antiaircraft Group were taken into the
Division and redesignated as the 130th Antiaircraft Battalion.
The Headquarters and Headquarters Battery of the 252nd Field
Arty Group in Greensboro became the Headquarters and Head-quarters
Battery, 30th Division Artillery, and the 505th Field
Artillery Battalion became the Headquarters Company, 30th In-fantry
Division, the 30th Military Police Company, the 30th
Quartermaster Company, the Headquarters and Headquarters
Detachment, 730th Ordnance Battalion, and Company A, 730th
Ordnance Battalion.
SERVICE SCHOOLS
During the period covered by this report 214 officers and 422
enlisted men attended Service Schools.
CAMPS OF INSTRUCTION 1953 AND 1954
During the summers of 1953 and 1954 the 30th Infantry Divi-sion,
under the command of Major General Paul H. Jordan of
Chattanooga, Tennessee, with Brigadier General Claude T.
Bowers of Warrenton, North Carolina, as Assistant Division
Commander, engaged in field training at Fort McClellan, Ala-bama.
In 1953, IV Corps Artillery, the 167th Military Police
Battalion, and the 3624th Ordnance Company trained at Fort
McClellan. In 1954, these units trained at Fort Bragg. In 1953
and 1954 the 252nd Antiaircraft Artillery Group, together with
the 130th Antiaircraft Battalion, a part of the 30th Infantry
Division, trained at Camp Stewart, Georgia. The training at
the three installations was most satisfactory, the accommodations
adequate, and the cooperation from the post authorities at each
installation were all that could be desired.
ARMY INSTRUCTORS
Colonel Herbert H. Harris, 0-11817, Infantry, reported in
April, 1954 to the Senior Army Advisor for temporary duty pend-ing
his retirement at the end of August, 1954. Colonel Harris
had been scheduled to take over as Senior Army Advisor upon the
retirement of Colonel William R. Watson but due to an executive
order of the President, he was involuntarily retired on 31 August
1954, at which time Colonel Watson, 0-8354, Infantry, was also
retired. The tour of duty of Colonel Watson as Senior Army
12 Report of The Adjutant General
Advisor and the short tour of duty of Colonel Harris as his As-sistant
were extremely helpful to the North Carolina National
Guard. It was with regret that both of these officers were re-tired.
Colonel Watson was succeeded by Lt Colonel Charles C. Cooper,
O-33430, Infantry, who was promoted to Colonel, Infantry, on
10 December 1954. CWO James B. Liles, who served for many
years in the 120th Infantry, North Carolina National Guard but
who accepted an appointment in the Regular Army following
World War II, has been the Chief Clerk in the office of the Senior
Army Advisor and has been outstanding in the performance of
his duties. He is scheduled for a change of station in the spring
or early summer of 1955.
I wish to record my deep appreciation of the very unselfish
devotion to duty of the enlisted personnel in the office of the
Senior Army Advisor. They have been outstanding in the per-formance
of duties, have been most cooperative with the Ad-jutant
General's Department, and merit our thanks for their
interest and efficient work on behalf of the North Carolina Na-tional
Guard.
Major Leland R. Cantlebary, O-60350, Artillery, has been our
most efficient Advisor in all army aviation matters. He has given
unselfishly of his time to all matters affecting the North Carolina
National Guard and has been of invaluable assistance in increas-ing
the efficiency of our Army Aviation. I wish to commend him
for his unselfish devotion to duty and express my regret that he
must make a change of station in the summer of 1955.
UNITED STATES PROPERTY AND FISCAL OFFICER
The name of the United States Property and Disbursing Offi-cer
was changed to that of United States Property and Fiscal
Officer by Act of Congress in the early summer of 1954. This
agency of the Adjutant General's Department has continued to
function satisfactorily from Camp Butner and to render efficient
service in the supply of the North Carolina National Guard.
It should be noted here that all of the Government-owned prop-erty
on the Camp Butner Military Reservation was conveyed to
the State of North Carolina by the United States of America
acting by and through Robert T. Stevens, Secretary of the Army,
by deed dated 27 September 1954. This deed was executed pur-suant
to an Act of the Congress, approved by the President on
2 April 1954, and known as Public Law 327, 83rd Congress. Two
tracts of land were conveyed, one containing 16.30 acres, more
Report of The Adjutant General 13
or less, upon which the USP&FO warehouses, the concentration
site, and the State Maintenance Shops are located, and the other
containing 4734.09 acres, more or less, and being what is known
as the rifle range tract. This deed is recorded in the Office of the
Register of Deeds for Granville County in Book 140 at Page 236,
and in Durham County in Book 222 at Page 70, and rerecorded
in Book 223 at Page 5. This deed conveys all of the right, title
and interest of the United States of America in and to these tracts
of land, with certain mineral, gas, and oil exceptions, upon the
express provision that the land, buildings, structures, improve-ments,
and facilities shall be used for military purposes only, ^nd
in the event it shall not be used for such purposes, title thereto
shall immediately revert to the United States of America.
Action has been initiated for the construction of 2 pre-fab
metal warehouses at an estimated cost of $50,000.00, a new State
Otdnance Maintenance Shop at an estimated cost of $280,000.00,
and a new USP&FO warehouse at an estimated cost of $260,-
000.00, making a total of $590,000.00. This construction will be
done with 100 7^ Federal funds. It is believed that authorization
will be given around the middle of 1955, and it is hoped that con-struction
can begin on the pre-fab warehouse projects at least
by mid-summer.
AIR NATIONAL GUARD
Colonel William J. Payne, Commander, North Carolina Air
National Guard, continues in the performance of his duties in an
outstanding manner.
Early in 1954 the State of North Carolina accepted the 123rd
Air Base Group, consisting of the Headquarters, the 123rd Com-munications
Squadron, 123rd Air Police Squadron, 123rd Food
Service Squadron, and 123rd Installations Squadron. All of
tl^se units have been organized and extended Federal recogni-tion.
The Air National Guard has continued to grow in strength
and efficiency, and on 31 December 1954 had 63 officers, 1 war-rant
officer, and 555 airmen, with an aggregate strength of 619.
Prospects are extremely favorable for a new warehouse for
the Air National Guard at Morris Field, Charlotte, and a new
administration building, both of which projects will cost approx-imately
$450,000.00 and both of which are very badly needed.
The 156th Fighter Bomber Squadron is all jet equipped and
the efficiency of our entire Air National Guard can be attributed
to the energy, resourcefulness, and devotion to duty of its com-mander.
14 Report of The Adjutant General
state maintenance officer
Lt Colonel John Foreman was promoted to Colonel and has
continued to perform his duties as State Maintenance Officer
with unusual and outstanding ability. The very high state of
maintenance of the North Carolina National Guard can be at-tributed
directly to our State Maintenance Officer. In 1954 North
Carolina was one of two States which received a Superior rating
by the National Guard Bureau on all maintenance items.
STAFF AND EMPLOYEES, THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT
The staff and employees of this Department continue to merit
the respect and confidence of the State and the Departments of
the Army and Air Force. The staff members are officers of ex-perience
and efficiency and perform their duties with interest
and intelligence. The clerical staff has done and continues to do
an outstanding job in spite of the crowded conditions under which
the work has to be done.
ARMY AND AIR NATIONAL GUARD GROWTH
On 31 December 1952 the Army National Guard had 623 offi-cers
and warrant officers and 5,022 enlisted men, for an aggre-gate
of 5,645; the Air National Guard had 20 officers and war-rant
officers and 155 airmen, for an aggregate of 175, giving a
total overall strength of Army and Air of 5,820.
On 31 December 1953 the Army National Guard had 625 offi-cers,
108 warrant officers, and 5,993 enlisted men, for an aggre-gate
of 6,726; the Air National Guard had 38 officers, 1 war-rant
officer, and 360 airmen, for an aggregate of 399, giving a
total overall strength of Army and Air of 7,125.
On 31 December 1954 the Army National Guard had 676 offi-cers,
111 warrant officers, and 7,190 enlisted men, for an aggre-gate
of 7,977 ; the Air National Guard had 63 officers, 1 warrant
officer, and 555 airmen, for an aggregate of 619, giving a total
overall strength of Army and Air of 8,596.
These figures speak for themselves and indicate a steady
growth in the strength of both Army and Air National Guard.
Plans have already been made for a recruiting campaign to cover
the period 1 January-31 March 1955, during which it is hoped
that we can add 1,200 to 1,500 men to our strength.
Report of The Adjutant General 15
conclusion
The two years covered by this report have been momentous in
the history of the North Carolina National Guard, both Army and
Air. The accomplishments during this period are indicative of
ability, sound planning, and continued interest in our National
Guard. It is believed that our Guard is better equipped and better
trained than at any time in its history.
The most imperative need for our Army National Guard is new
armories. Since our units have grown in size, the temporary
facilities which have been utilized as armories have proved to be
grossly inadequate, and until new, adequate armories are pro-vided,
these units cannot maintain the status of training that
could be accomplished with decent housing and adequate training
facilities. These can be provided only through the construction
of new armories. This is a pressing and crying need, and it is
hoped that the incoming General Assembly can find some means
whereby the armory construction program can be continued.

Sir:
We made an examination of the accounts and records of the
Department of Adjutant General
Raleigh, North Carolina
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1952 and submit herewith our report con-sisting
of three exhibits and four schedules which we believe to be self-explanatory.
We also show on Exhibit "C", a statement of appropriation and
expenditures of the North Carolina Armory Commission. There was an un-expended
balance of $26,526.52 at June 30, 1952. This amount was transferred
to Reserve Account for permanent appropriations. North Carolina Armory
Commission.
Expenditures for the Department of The Adjutant General's Office for the
year 1951-52 were $305,517.86 compared to $309,079.90 for the previous year,
as a reduction of $3,562.04 for the year 1951-52. This was accounted for
mainly by the fact that certain units of the National Guard (Air and Ground)
were inducted into Federal Service.
We inspected a representative number of invoices, pay rolls, and other data
supporting disbursements and found them in order. The Cash Balance at
June 30, 1952 was reconciled with the records of the State Treasurer and
found in agreement.
We wish to express our appreciation to the personnel of the Department for
the courtesies extended us during this assignment.

Initially accountable records for all property issued to the Air National Guard
were maintained in this office at Raleigh, N. C. Also the Base Supply Officer
Morris Field maintained a similar set of records. In order to simplify pro-cedure
the National Guard Bureau authorized the decentralization of property
records, all accountable records being maintained by the Base Supply Officer
who was appointed Assistant to the U. S. Property and Fiscal Officer. This
method was made effective 1 July 1954. At this time all accountable property
records are maintained by Lt. Col. Sidney L. Jetton, Base Supply Officer, Air
National Guard, Morris Field, North Carolina. Lt. Col. Jetton is an efficient
officer and maintains a fine set of records.
7. During the period covered by this report unit commanders continued to
turn in to the U. S. Property and Fiscal Office warehouse surplus property
which they had on hand over and above their needs for training and opera-tion.
In some cases units determined that if they used less property for train-ing
it could be maintained with less effort, therefore, they desired to turn in
all items that were not absolutely essential for training. The reorganization
of the 30th Infantry Division with all units in North Carolina on 28 October
1954 made many turn-ins and transfers of property necessary. Large quan-tities
of surplus property has been turned back to Army and Air Force Depots.

9. In accordance with the National Defense Act and the regulations pub-lished
by the National Guard Bureau, this office was inspected by the In-spector
General, Third Army, as follows:
23-26 March 1953 Colonel John D. Salman, I.G.
Rating received—a. Office USP & FO, Raleigh "Superior"

c. Equipment Concentration Site Butner "Excellent"
d. General Rating "Excellent"
27-28 April 1954 Colonel Benjamin W. Yowell, I.G.
Rating awarded "Excellent"
It is believed that in both years the rating might have been better had there
been available for use at Butner, North Carolina, a suitable building for the
storage of paints and oil.
10. Department of the Army Bulletin No. 6, 1954, publishes the Congres-sional
Act which changes the title of this Officer to U.S. Property and Fiscal
Officer.
11. Cooperation on the part of the Adjutant General of this State, Army
Advisors, Oragnization Commanders, and other individual Officers and men
has made it possible for this Office to satisfactorily discharge the duties
assigned and has made the work a real pleasure. In the operation of this
Office for the period covered by this Report, I desire to acknowledge the con-tribution
made and fine assistance rendered by each employee of this Office.
Without their untiring work and efforts, the work could not have been done in
an acceptable manner.

MEMORANDUM
State of North CarolIiXa
The Adjutant General's Department
Raleigh
13 January 1955
Memorandum to : Governor Hodges
From: The Adjutant General
In re: Hurricane Hazel and the North Carolina National Guard
On 1 October 1954 The Adjutant General's Department published and dis-tributed
to all headquarters and units of the North Carolina National Guard
Circular No. 19, Mobilization and Alert Plan. This plan gave detailed in-structions
for mobilization for a White Alert and for a Blue Alert.
When Hurricane Hazel struck and authority was received from the Gov-ernor
to order certain National Guard units into the service of the State,
only a brief message was necessary to be transmitted to the unit commanders.
A typical message was: "By direction of the Governor. Company C, 725th
AAA Bn, is ordered into the active service of the State immediately. Blue
Alert Plan, Circular No. 19, is operational. Report to Colonel Corbett, Bleu-thenthal
Field, Wilmington, with your command without delay for further
orders."
So much destruction was wrought along our beaches that the Governor
was requested to call into State service eleven (11) units of the North Caro-lina
National Guard to aid civil authorities in the protection of property, to
evacuate civilians, and to maintain law and order.
The first request was made from Wilmington, and Colonel Kenneth M.
Corbett, Commanding 252nd Antiaircraft Artillery Group, was communicated
with at 11:05 a.m. on Friday, 15 October 1954, and he, together with two
members of his staff, the Headquarters Battery, 252nd Antiaircraft Artillery
Battalion, Headquarters Battery, 150th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion, and
Company I, 119th Infantry, were ordered into the active service of the State.
On the same date, Service Battery, 690th Field Artillery Battalion at Jack-sonville
and Battery A, 295th Field Artillery Battalion at Beaufort, were or-dered
into the active service of the State.
On Saturday, 16 October 1954, Battery C, 725th Antiaircraft Artillery Bat-talion
at Bladenboro, Battery D, 150th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion at
Wallace, Major John C. Maultsby and two officers from the Headquarters.
725th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion, Whiteville, Headquarters Battery.
725th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion at Whiteville, and Battery A, 725th
Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion at Shallotte were ordered into the active
service of the State.
On 18 October 1954 Battery A, 690th Field Artillery Battalion at Washing-ton
and Company M, 119th Infantry at Warsaw, were ordered into the active
service of the State.
Report of The Adjutant General 41
The Service Battery. 690th Field Artillery Battalion, assisted the civil
authorities in the Jacksonville area, Battery A, 295th Field Artillery Bat-talion,
assisted the civil authorities in the Atlantic Beach-Morehead City-
Beaufort area, and Battery A, 690th Field Artillery Battalion, assisted the
civil authorities in the Washington area. All other units operated under
the command of Colonel Corbett and assisted the civil authorities at Holden
and Long Beaches in Brunswick County, at Kure, Wilmington, Carolina, and
Wrightsville Beaches in New Hanover County, and at Topsail Beach in Pender
County.

After 11:15 a.m., 15 October 1954, all communications with the Wilmington,
Jacksonville, Morehead City, Beaufort, and Washington areas were out, but
limited communication was available through the State Highway Patrol
radio net. The National Guard set up an emergency radio net and its Raleigh
radio could communicate with Clinton, Wilson, and Durham.
National Guard units responded promptly to orders, carried out their mis-sions
without delay, rendered valuable service in aiding civil authorities in
protecting property, evacuating personnel, and maintaining law and order.
Many letters of appreciation were received.
Upon being relieved, units returned promptly to their home stations. The
mission was accomplished without incident, accident, or injury to personnel
except two very slight personnel injuries. The manner of performance indi-cated
a high state of morale, efficiency, loyalty, and the desire to render
service in this disaster.
Lessons learned and suggestions for future possible disasters:
1. Evacuation plans should be formulated by the governing authorities of
the beach areas which are occupied the year round, and for the beach
areas occupied during the summer season. While the normal hurricane
season is in September and October, weather conditions are changing
the world over, and sound planning should take these changes into con-sideration.
2. In disasters of this nature, commercial communications are unable to
withstand the shock of hurricane winds and water. Communications are
essential, and planning should include a radio net with independent
power units which will operate when commercial communications and
commercial electric power are not available.
