In the Logistical area, the United States Property and Fiscal Officer is responsible for the requisitioning, receipt, warehousing, issue, shipment, disposition and accounting for supplies furnished and equipment loaned to the State by the Federal Government for the support of Federally recognized Army and Air National Guard units and activities. As the Transportation Officer for the NCNG, he is responsible for transportation of National Guard personnel, technicians, supplies and equipment. A detailed report of the activities of the USPFO NC is out-lined in Section XIIB of this report. 14 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.

North Carolina Army National Guard units conducted Annual Training during the first half of calendar year 1972 as follows : NON-DIVISIONAL UNITS Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 29 April-13 May 1972 167th Military Police Battalion Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 13-27 May 1972 Headquarters & Headquarters Detachment (IP), NCARNG 878 Engineer Company 382 Public Information Detachment 205 Medical Detachment 823 Medical Detachment 690 Maintenance Battalion less 696 Maintenance Company 109 Military Police Battalion 540 Transportation Battalion Red River Army Depot, Texas, 13-27 May 1972 696 Heavy Equipment Maintenance Company Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 11-25 June 1972 North Carolina Military Academy Report of The Adjutant General 25 The Selective Service Section, HHD, NCARNG, conducted year 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. F. North Carolina Military Academy The North Carolina Military Academy was established in 1958 and remains in operation at Fort Bragg, N. C. In July 1970, thirteen (13) members of Ofl[icer Candidate Class Number Twelve (12) graduated and were commissioned Second Lieutenants in the North Carolina National Guard or United States Army Reserve as indicated.

The NCO Leadership School which was organized as an integral part of the Academy in 1960 continues to provide the State with 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 : a. Activations — Effective 15 May 1971 Hq 145 Tactical Airlift Group 156 Tactical Airlift Squadron 145 Combat Support Squadron 145 Tactical Dispensary 145 Mobility Support Flight 145 Weapons Security Support Flight b. Reorganized/ Realigned — Eflfective 15 May 1971 145 Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron 145 Aerial Port Flight 156 Aeromedical Evacuation Flight (Remained as-assigned to MAC until 30 March 1972 when as- ( signed to 145 Tactical Airlift Group) c. Inactivated — 2400 Hours 14 May 1971 Hq 145 Military Airlift Group 156 Military Airlift Squadron 145 Support Squadron 145 Supply Squadron 145 USAF Dispensary 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 : 40 Report of The Adjutant General w 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 operation of Air National Guard units within the State, including the planning and employment of units for State mission, and in preparation for their mobilization assignment ; advise and assist The Adjutant General in the execution of approved plans, policies and programs. b. Hq 145 Tactical Airlift Group: Responsible for command and staff supervision over assigned units providing tactical air-lift for airborne forces and other personnel, equipment, and sup-plies, as well as aeromedical evacuation of patients within a theater of operations. c. 145 Combat Support Squadron: Provides for the opera-tion and maintenance of an installation or facility in support of a Tactical Airlift Group, and its subordinate and attached units for a peacetime in-place operation.

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 Center. 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.

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 prescribed in Federal Statutes which are implemented by the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force by means of Army and Air Force Regulations, National Guard Bureau Regulations and other directives. In the Comptroller area, he is responsible for the proper financial planning, obligating, accounting, reporting and administrative control of Federal funds allotted to the State for the support of Army and Air National Guard units and activities by the National Guard Bureau and other Government agencies. In the Logistical area, he is responsible for the requisitioning, receipt, warehousing, issue, shipment, disposition and accounting for 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 Transportation Officer for the National Guard of this State. The USPFO is also the representative of the National Guard Bureau responsible for making interim and final inspections of all construction projects for the National Guard of this State which are executed under State contracts utilizing Federal funds. Annex A to this report contains a breakdown of the functions of the Divisions and Offices of this Activity in the two years covered by the report. To assist the USPFO in carrying out his responsibilities, this office is authorized a total of sixty-seven (67) technician employees under the Army National Guard Technician Program. The organizational manning structure for these employees is established in accordance with current functional criteria developed by the National Guard Bureau on a nation-wide basis. Under the Air National Guard Technician Program, technicians are author-ized for this purpose at the North Carolina Air National Guard Activities located at Douglas Municipal Airport, Charlotte, N. C. Colonel Thomas B. Longest, who was appointed to this position 1 May 1959, served as the USPFO for the State during this period. 85 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.

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.

He is also the Federal Contracting Officer. In the Logistical area, the United States Property and Fiscal Officer is responsible for the requisitioning, receipt, warehousing, issue, shipment, disposition and accounting for supplies furnished and equipment loaned to the State by the Federal Government for the support of Federally recognized Army and Air National Guard units and activities. As the Transportation Officer for the NCNG, he is responsible for transportation of National Guard personnel, technicians, supplies and equipment. A detailed report of the activities of the USPFO NC is out-lined in Section XIIB of this report. 14 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.

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. F. North Carolina Military Academy The North Carolina Military Academy was established in 1958 and remains in operation at Fort Bragg, N. C.

The NCO Leadership School which was organized as an integral part of the Academy in 1960 continues to provide the State with 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 : a. Activations — Effective 15 May 1971 Hq 145 Tactical Airlift Group 156 Tactical Airlift Squadron 145 Combat Support Squadron 145 Tactical Dispensary 145 Mobility Support Flight 145 Weapons Security Support Flight b. Reorganized/ Realigned — Eflfective 15 May 1971 145 Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron 145 Aerial Port Flight 156 Aeromedical Evacuation Flight (Remained as-assigned to MAC until 30 March 1972 when as- ( signed to 145 Tactical Airlift Group) c. Inactivated — 2400 Hours 14 May 1971 Hq 145 Military Airlift Group 156 Military Airlift Squadron 145 Support Squadron 145 Supply Squadron 145 USAF Dispensary 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 : 40 Report of The Adjutant General w 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 operation of Air National Guard units within the State, including the planning and employment of units for State mission, and in preparation for their mobilization assignment ; advise and assist The Adjutant General in the execution of approved plans, policies and programs. b.

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 Center. 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. SECTION X SIMPLIFIED FISCAL STATEMENT The financial report of the operation of the Department is made on the fiscal year basis. This report is being made to cover the Fiscal Years 1971 and 1972. These two fiscal years have not been audited and will be shown in the next Report of the Adju-tant General. The following figures are a consolidation of The Adjutant General's Department and The North Carolina Armory Commis-sion for the period 1 July 1970 thru 30 July 1972. The Adjutant General's Department received $305,305.80 in Federal Funds dur-ing this period as reimbursement of expenses. The North Carolina Armory Commission received $564,137.52 in Federal Funds as reimbursement for armory construction ; $24,718.68 in Local Funds as participation in armory construction; $3,322.00 from sale of timber at Butner; $66,475.00 for sale of National Guard property at Jacksonville; and $24,296.00 from Law & Order Funds for extension of firing ranges at Butner.

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 prescribed in Federal Statutes which are implemented by the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force by means of Army and Air Force Regulations, National Guard Bureau Regulations and other directives. In the Comptroller area, he is responsible for the proper financial planning, obligating, accounting, reporting and administrative control of Federal funds allotted to the State for the support of Army and Air National Guard units and activities by the National Guard Bureau and other Government agencies. In the Logistical area, he is responsible for the requisitioning, receipt, warehousing, issue, shipment, disposition and accounting for 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 Transportation Officer for the National Guard of this State. The USPFO is also the representative of the National Guard Bureau responsible for making interim and final inspections of all construction projects for the National Guard of this State which are executed under State contracts utilizing Federal funds. Annex A to this report contains a breakdown of the functions of the Divisions and Offices of this Activity in the two years covered by the report. To assist the USPFO in carrying out his responsibilities, this office is authorized a total of sixty-seven (67) technician employees under the Army National Guard Technician Program. The organizational manning structure for these employees is established in accordance with current functional criteria developed by the National Guard Bureau on a nation-wide basis. Under the Air National Guard Technician Program, technicians are author-ized for this purpose at the North Carolina Air National Guard Activities located at Douglas Municipal Airport, Charlotte, N. C. Colonel Thomas B. Longest, who was appointed to this position 1 May 1959, served as the USPFO for the State during this period. 85 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.
