November 1, 1942. Hon. Arthur B. Langlie, Governor of Washington, Olympia, Washington

Dear Governor Langlie: In accordance with Statutory requirements there is submitted herewith a report on the operation of the Adjutant General's Office and of the Military Department of the State of Washington for the biennium ending October 31, 1942, a period encompassing the greatest activity, civil and military, in the history of the State. The undersigned by your appointment assumed the duties of the State Adjutant General and State Director of Selective Service on May 16, 1941, succeeding Brigadier General Maurice Thompson. The activities of Selective Service, extending as it does into every community and affecting the lives of such a large percentage of the population, has resulted in more than trip- ling the normal duties of the Adjutant General's Office. Over a period of eight months, however, from June, 1941 to February, 1942, there was added the duty of State Director of the Civilian Defense movement, during which time this office was charged with the initial organization, activation and train- ing of these units in each county and community of 500 population or over throughout the State. This additional assignment taxed to the utmost the energy and initiative of every individual on the staff and greatly overtaxed the office space and equipment of the establishment. The mission, however, was completely accomplished and an efficient State-wide organization was turned over to the new management in Seattle on the 1st of February, 1942. The efficiency with which the Civilian Defense effort in the State is now operating best attests the solidity of the foundation upon which it was initially organized. The period covered by this report has witnessed the passing into Federal service of the last elements of our National Guard to an aggregate number in excess of 5,000 trained officers and men; the organization of a trained State Guard of equal number to replace them; the organization of self-armed Reserve Companies of the organized militia in over 50 cities throughout the State, trained for local protection; the organization of trained Civilian Defense units in every county and community in the State; the induction into the armed forces of the Nation of approximately eighty-thousand of the finest manhood of the State through the agency of Selective Service and by volun- tary enlistments in the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard. In other words, it has witnessed the placing of our State on an efficient war basis commensurate to the gravity of the emergency confronting the Nation. A detailed, chronologic history of these events is included in the appended report of the Operations and Training Section of this office. There is also included a report of the Finance and Accounting Section, containing a 4 Biennial Report of the Military Department brief summary of the fiscal activities of this Department during the period OPERATIONS AND TRAINING SECTION covered by this report. I recommend as a matter of future State historical record that this report November 1, 1942. be printed as required by Section 8474 (1), Remington's Revised Statutes, To: The Adjutant General of Washington. and that copies thereof be made available to all State Departments; to the In submitting this Report of Operations of the State Military Department Librarian of State institutions of higher learning, and to such other agencies and the Adjutant General's Office for the biennium ending October 31, 1942, of historic research as may find interest in the data contained therein. the writer is guided by the conviction that these biennial reports should con- Respectfully submitted, stitute a continuing historical record of the activities of the National Guard of Washington, rather than be permitted to degenerate into a collection of WALTER J. DeLONG, statistical tables of no immediate interest or future historic value. Following (OFFICIAL) Brigadier General, W. N. G., this conception that events should be recorded in the chronologic sequence of The Adjutant General. their occurrence, the current report picks up where the last biennial report left off. At the close of the 1938-1940 biennium we found all divisional units of the National Guard of the state, together with the state staff and detachment, inducted into federal service as a result of the so-called limited emergency proclaimed by the President, leaving only the 205th Antiaircraft Regiment of Coast Artillery and the 103rd Antitank Battalion in state service. These latter organizations, however, soon followed—the Antiaircraft Regiment on February 3rd and the Antitank Battalion on February 10, 1941, in accordance with Executive Order No. 8633 and General Orders No. 1, this office, dated Janu- ary 20, 1941, a copy of which is appended hereto, as are also complete rosters of all officers and enlisted men of these organizations who thus entered federal service from the state of Washington. Following the induction into federal service of these last remaining ele- ments of the National Guard, there came a readjustment period in which all federal property remaining in state control was transferred to army depots and all accounts with the federal government, both of property and of finance, were balanced and audited. This period was also devoted to a systematic reorganization of the Adjutant General's office and Armory personnel to con- form to the changed conditions incident to a lessening of National Guard activities and the new duties imposed upon the Adjutant General's section by the establishment of state headquarters for Selective Service as the predomi- nant activity. During this period of readjustment, however, it must not be assumed that departure of the state troops meant a complete cessation of National Guard clerical work. On the contrary, such work, and correspondence incident to the mobilization of more than 4,000 officers and enlisted men actually increased markedly during the following months and has continued actively up to the present time. It must be remembered that all officers and men so inducted remain members of the National Guard of the state, and all changes in their status must be accurately recorded and transcribed to their master cards in the same manner as while they remained in the state service to which they revert upon termination of their tour of federal duty.

WASHINGTON STATE GUARD The departure of our National Guard units left the state without any of those military forces required by statutory law to be maintained as a safe- guard against any contingency in which a military force under the Governor's sole control might become necessary to maintain or re-establish law and order; or to protect the persons and property of our citizens.

All Reserve companies are identified Only one call has been made upon the State Guard for active duty during and designated by the name of the city or community in which organized, thus: the period of its existence. This was occasioned by the inability of the "Arlington Company, Washington State Guard Reserve."

Request was made on the State Military Department for the detail in the movement had been organized. At the present writing, 51 such Reserve of sufficient State Guard personnel to man a maximum of 9 such observation companies have been formed as follows: posts for which civilian observers were not available. Complying with this request a detail of one officer and 30 enlisted men was called to active duty on June 17, 1942, and sent to the Peninsula to take over this assignment, the detachment working out from Headquarters at Forks, Washington. This detail is still on active duty, and the 4th Fighter Command at Seattle reports that the observers are turning in excellent results in reporting all aircraft passing over their posts throughout the entire 24 hours of each day.

STATE GUARD RESERVE COMPANIES The strength of federally authorized State Guards armed by the Federal government was restricted by War Department Regulations to the strength formerly allotted each state for its National Guard. The same regulation required that federal arms and equipment be issued only to units provided with armory facilities affording the required security for this type of property. These requirements operated to restrict the allotment of State Guard Units to not more than the 17 cities where National Guard troops had in peace time been stationed, leaving many important cities in the critical coastal area and elsewhere without immediately available protection of state troops. In order to afford the utmost security to all communities in the state and to provide maximum protection for the persons and property of all its citizens, the Governor on March 20, 1942, authorized the organization of self-armed State Guard Reserve Companies in cities or communities not provided with units of the State Guard proper, and who expressed their desire for the forma- tion of such companies and their ability to support such an organization and provide a meeting place for its assembly and instruction. This authorization was published in General Orders No. 7, Office of the Adjutant General, dated March 20, 1942, a copy of which is appended.

Office of The Adjutant General GENERAL ORDERS Camp Murray, Fort Lewis, Washington, No. 7 March 20, 1942.

State Guard Reserve In order to afford the utmost protection to the State of Washington and to the persons and property of its citizens during the emergency that now confronts us, by providing a means of training for the Unorganized Militia, there is hereby organized under the provisions of Section 8470, Remington's Revised Statutes, as a component of the Militia of the State of Washington, a force to be known as the WASHINGTON STATE GUARD RESERVE and which will be used to supplement and augment the State Guard now organized under Federal Statutory law, but the strength and armament of which is restricted by the regulations which authorize its existence. Units of the Washington State Guard Reserve may be organized in any city or community of the State not provided with a unit of the State Guard, provided that a place of assamblage and facilities for training such unit is provided by the community without expense to the State. They shall consist of "Companies" bearing the name of the city or community in which organized, and will follow closely the Tables of Organization prescribed for the Wash- ington State Guard, except that the minimum size of each company will be governed by the number of citizens who enlist therein, but shall consist of not less than one platoon comprised of three squads of 12 men each, with a sergeant and corporal for each squad, the platoon to be commanded by a lieutenant, and each company of not more than three platoons to be com- manded by a captain. In each community for which the organization of a unit shall be author- ized, there will be commissioned in the Washington State Guard Reserve, one or more officers who will be charged, under direction of the .State Adjutant General, with the recruiting and instruction of the company. A form of enlistment contract will be furnished from this office, an accomplished copy of which will be returned together with such reports of company strength as may be required from time to time. The only qualifications for enlistment in this reserve component shall be that the applicant is a citizen of the United States; that he shall subscribe to the prescribed oath of enlistment; shall be of a mature age and physically qualified to perform the duties ordi- narily required of a peace officer. This force will not be uniformed or equipped, but each member thereof will be provided with a suitable distinguishing armband or brassàrd bearing the insignia of rank of the wearer. Existing Federal regulations make it impossible to supply this force with arms and ammunition other than those arms privately owned by members, or contributed by citizens of the com- munity. The possession of suitable firearms and ammunition should be encouraged, and members so provided should be carefully trained in the safe handling and effective use thereof. By order of ARTHUR B. LANGLIE, Governor and Commander-in-Chief: WALTER J. DeLONG, (OFFICIAL) Brigadier General, W. N. G., The Adjutant General.
