This report is prepared in compliance with Article 6, Section 9, Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, to provide informa­ tion regarding the activities of the Oklahoma Military Depart­ ment.

With the publication of this report which includes the entire Fiscal Year 1972, future reports will be published on a Fiscal Year basis as opposed to the Calendar Year basis formerly used. The Oklahoma Military Department is a Department of the State Government and was established by Title 44 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Title 44 includes the following provisions:

All matters concerning or relating to the Militia, the National Guard, or other military organizations, and such other duties as may be assigned by the Governor, shall be administered by and through the Military Department. The Military Department shall be administered and controlled by the Governor as Commander in Chief, with The Adjutant General as the executive and administrative head thereof. There shall be assigned to the Department such officers, en­ listed men and employees as may be considered necessary by the Governor as Commander in Chief and as may be authorized by law and National Guard Regulations.

The National Guard of the State of Oklahoma consists of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. The Oklahoma Military Department respectfully and gratefully acknowledges the support provided by the Governor, other state agencies, and the members of the Senate and House during the 33rd Legislature. MISSION

Units of the Oklahoma National Guard Army and Air, have a dual mission, as follows:

Federal or State - To provide units organized, equipped and trained to function efficiently at existing strength in the protection of life and property and the preservation of peace, order and public safety under competent orders of Federal or State authorities.

Federal - To provide trained units and qualified individuals available for active duty in time of war or national emer­ gency in support of national war plans, and at such other times as the national security may require augmentation of the active forces.

Federal (Military Support to Civil Authorities) - In the event of an emergency involving nuclear attack on the United States, employ available resources, which are not being used in essential combat, combat support and self survival opera­ tions, in support of civil defense operations within the State of Oklahoma and as otherwise directed in order to assist in restoring essential facilities, preventing unnecessary loss of life, and alleviating suffering. Be prepared to take necessary action to restore civil control where it has be­ come inoperative. Be prepared to support civil defense operations in adjacent States on order.

The Oklahoma National Guard remains constitutionally a State- administered military force. The above dual State-Federal missions are set forth in National Guard Regulation No. 350-1, and Air National Guard Regulation No. 20-1. STAFF

19 OPERATIONS AND TRAINING SECTION

The current mission of Army National Guard units is "to be prepared for immediate deployment and augmentation of the Active Forces". This position in the National Defense posture is dictated by the reduction of the Active Forces, the move to an all volunteer Army, and by the professiona­ lism of the Army National Guard.

Effective 1 December 1971 all units of the 45th Infantry Brigade (Separate) were reorganized under the "H" Series Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE), and the follow­ ing units were reorganized under the "G" Series Tables of Organization and Equipment: a. 145th Army Band b. 45th Support Center (Rear Area Operations) c. 45th Military Police Battalion d. 120th Engineer Battalion e. 120th Medical Battalion f. 120th Supply and Service Battalion g. 245th Transportation Battalion h. Headquarters and Headquarters Battery 45th Field Artillery Group i. First Battalion 158th Artillery (8" Self Propelled) j. First Battalion 171st Artillery (Target Acquisition) k. First Battalion 189th Artillery (175MM Self Propelled)

The Organizational Chart next following depicts units, location and authorized strength of each Federally recognized Army National Guard unit in the State. The Organization of Army National Guard units and the equipment authorized is in accordance with authorization documents published by Department of the Army and the National Guard Bureau. Training of the Army National Guard is conducted as pres­ cribed by The Adjutant General of Oklahoma in accordance with Department of the Army, United States Continental Army Command and Fifth United States Army training policies, standards and programs. Training is classified into three general categories: a. Inactive Duty Training (IDT): All units conduct not less than 48 unit training assemblies each fiscal year. Each unit training assembly is not less than four hours

20 duration. These assemblies are conducted at the home station armory and/or in a field environment at the unit outdoor training areas as a weekend training assembly. b. Annual Training (AT): All units participated in Annual Training periods as follows:

c. Supplemental Training: This training includes Service School training (Participation in a course of in­ struction at an Active Army Service School), Army Area Schools (Participation in a course of instruction author­ ized by Fifth United States Army and conducted by units of the Oklahoma Army National Guard or the United States Army

21 Reserve, and unit schools conducted by local commanders in varied subjects ranging from training management, critical military occupational specialty training to other areas needed to correct training deficiencies), and other types of training such as Command Post Exercises, Training with the Active Army (Mutual Support), enrollment in extension courses administered by the Active Army Service Schools and United States Army Reserve Schools.

The general training objectives for all units is company level Basic Unit Training. Company level training consists of a fixed number of weeks for each company to complete unit training. Once attained, each company is tested each third year (Army Training Test) to determine their degree of proficiency, retraining required and to determine their capability to advance to a higher level of training. All units of the Oklahoma Army National Guard, with exception of those noted below have attained company level basic unit training levels. Units that did not reach this level of training are those units most affected by changes in organization due to reorganization 1 December 1971 or by changes in training levels established by higher head­ quarters : UNIT CURRENT TRAINING STATUS

145 Public Information 4 weeks of 8 weeks Detachment (Advanced Individual Training) 1/171 Field Artillery 5 weeks of 11 weeks (Target Acquisition) (Basic Unit Training) (All Units) 45th Support Center (RAO) 2 weeks of 11 weeks (Unit Training Program) 120th Engineer Battalion 5 weeks of 8 Weeks (All Units) (Basic Unit Training) Success of the Oklahoma Army National Guard training pro­ gram is evidenced by the results of the 1971 Annual Train­ ing Evaluations conducted by the Active Army. All units received a Satisfactory rating (Only Satisfactory and Un­ satisfactory ratings are awarded) and several units were cited as Outstanding.

Minimum standards of progress toward attainment of pre­ mobilization readiness in the areas of organization, strength, Military Occupation Specialty qualification, attendance and training for all units continue to be attained and maintained. Availability of training

22 equipment has improved each year which enhances the pre­ mobilization readiness of units.

Civil disturbance training continues to be emphasized. Each Oklahoma Army National Guard unit has conducted the required hours of Civil Disturbance Training with many favorable comments being received by Active Army Advisors. Maximum coordination with local law enforcement and local community leaders insured and enhanced effectiveness of civil distur­ bance training efforts.

In addition to required training prescribed by the Unit Training Program for each unit, several subjects to which commanders at all levels give special emphasis at least once annually are:

(1) Code of Conduct (2) Emergency Medical Care (3) Individual and Crew Served Weapons Qualification and Familiarization (4) Survival/Evasion and Escape (5) Safeguarding Defense Information (6) Civil Defense (7) Subversion and Espionage directed against the United States Army (8) Deliberate Security Violations (9) Geneva Convention (10) Command Information (11) Physical Training/Testing (12) Chemical, Biological and Nuclear Training (13) Maintenance of Equipment (14) Orientation on Policies and Procedures Governing Satisfactory Participation and Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs

Mobilization Command Post Exercise "CABIN CRUISER I" was conducted by the Fifth United States Army on weekends of 12-13 February and 11-12 March 1972. This Command Post Exercise was designed to test the effectiveness of the Reserve Components in preparation for mobilization. These exercises are normally scheduled and conducted at three year intervals.

Mutual Support between Active Army and Reserve Components is receiving command attention from Department of the Army to the company level commander. The Oklahoma Army National Guard has actively pursued the Mutual Support Program by planning for and actively participating in the following manner:

23 a. 45th Military Police Battalion and Military Police Platoon, 45th Infantry Brigade provided one Military Police Platoon of approximately 40 men to Fort Sill, Oklahoma on weekends of 4-5, 11-12, 18-19, 25-26 March 1972; 1-2, 8-9, 15-16 April 1972 and 6-7, 13-14 and 20-21 May 1972. This provided added law enforcement support to an Active Army installation while providing meaningful training for our Military Policemen.

b. Batteries "A" and "B" of the First Battalion 171st Field Artillery (Target Acquisition) were requested to provide support to Commanding General, 87th Maneuver Area Command in the conduct of Army Training Tests for units in the Third Army Area, located at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. This was accomplished during the period 26 May - 2 July 1972. This support mission provided realistic environ­ mental mission oriented training while providing needed assets to accomplish the Army Training Tests.

c. Two platoons of the 245th Military Police Company conducted Annual Training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma during the period 3 June - 1 July 1972. (One platoon each two weeks). This provides excellent training for our Military Policemen and furthers the Mutual Support of the Active Army.

d. The Adjutant General provided Aviation assets (8 helicopters) to support an Airmobility exercise conducted on 10 March 1972 by approximately 20 ROTC Cadets of Okla­ homa State University. This training was beneficial to the Oklahoma Army National Guard Aviators and the ROTC Cadets. This type support is authorized by National Guard regulations and encouraged when it enhances combat readiness of both organizations. Oklahoma Army National Guard makes maximum utilization of the training facilities of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Active Army personnel actively provide Mutual Support to our re­ questing units. This enhances all training exercises and furthers the readiness posture of the Oklahoma Army National Guard.

Two officers and eleven enlisted men participated in the Winston P. Wilson (National Guard Rifle and Pistol Champ­ ionship Matches) at Camp Robinson, Arkansas 4-9 September 1971. The rifle team won the Short Range and Infantry Trophy Matches, placed second in the Combat Match and third in the overall Known Distance Match. The Oklahoma National

24 Guard High Power Rifle and Pistol Matches were held 16-17 October 1971 at the Oklahoma City Gun Club Range near Arcadia, Oklahoma. Approximately 200 persons were present and fired for individual and team honors. Winning Rifle Team was the 45th Field Artillery Group, with a score of 2727 out of a possible 3000. Winning Pistol Team was Tulsa Air National Guard, with a score of 2875 out of a possible 3600. From those firing in the above Matches the top twenty rifle and top twenty pistol shooters were designated as members of the Governor's Twenty. Also the top 25 rifle and pistol competitors were selected to practice for National Guard and Fifth United States Army Championship Matches.

The Oklahoma National Guard Smallbore Rifle Championship Match was conducted 5 March 1972 at the Capitol Hill Armory. Approximately 70 individuals competed in the Matches with the 45th Infantry Brigade Composite Team winning with a Team Score of 1822 out of a possible 2000. Second Place was won by the Tulsa Air National Guard with a score of 1817.

All units of the Oklahoma Army National Guard received an Annual General Inspection during February 1972. All units received a rating of Satisfactory (only Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory ratings are awarded). Ten unit commanders were commended for the outstanding appearance of their command during the Annual General Inspections.

During the reporting period the Military Support to Civil Authorities Division installed fixed station single side­ band radio sets at armories in Muskogee, Chandler and Lawton. Redistribution of Single Side-Band Communications equipment required removal of Single Side-Band sets from armories at Hominy, Fairfax, Sapulpa, Mangum, Kingfisher, and Weatherford. These radio sets have been installed as mobile stations to provide a more flexible system during Military Support operations.

An Ad Hoc Communication Committee met 23 March 1972 in Oklahoma City to consider the feasibility of improving our statewide communications capability. A result of this meeting was a State Army National Guard Communications- Electronics Plan, developed to tie all organizational headquarters with Single Side-Band radios except where two or more organizations are located in the same town; require organization communications personnel to install antennas on each unit armory, and establish an Amplitude Modulation-Radio Telephone Telegraph system utilizing

This class will graduate in June 1973. Seventy-one candidates initially enrolled during the June assembly. The Army Aviation Support Facility was organized 31 May 1965 to provide aircraft, maintenance, flight standardi­ zation and training, aircraft dispatch, synthetic flight training and scheduling and control of additional flight training periods for all aviation elements of the Oklahoma Army National Guard. There are currently 57 full-time civil service employees working at this facility. The Oklahoma Army National Guard has a total of 83 aviators, 77 of whom are on Flying Status and are qualified to fly types of aircraft as follows: Rotary and Fixed Wing Rated - 24, Rotary Wing Rated only - 53.

The following type of aircraft are presently assigned to the Oklahoma Army National Guard: Fixed Wing U-6 "Beaver" 1 each Rotary Wing OH-23 "Raven" 4 each OH-58 "Kiowa" 8 each UH-1 • "Iroquois" 29 each

Technical Training is as follows: One Officer and one Warrant Officer completed initial Flight Training, 83 aviators completed UH-1 and OH-58 Ground School and trans­ ition training. Four Officers and one Warrant Officer have completed the Rotary Wing Instructor Courses, 20 aviators completed check rides and received instrument ratings, two warrant officers have completed Aviation Maintenance Course, 35 Enlisted Men have completed Aircraft Maintenance Courses, and one Enlisted Man completed a Flight Simulator Specialist Course.

This Section has the responsibility for all personnel and administrative actions related to assigned officers and enlisted personnel of the Army National Guard and approxi­ mately 900 full-time technicians (Civil Service Employees) employed by Army and Air National Guard units in the state. In addition, this Section has the responsibility for mail and publications support for the Oklahoma City Complex of the Military Department, the Records Center for permanent storage of vital records, Inspector General activities of the Department, the Recruiting and Retention activities for all Army National Guard units, and Public Affairs and Information.

To discharge designated responsibilities, the Section is organized with seven operational Divisions - The Officer Personnel Division; Enlisted Personnel Division; Techni­ cian Personnel Division; Inspector General Division; Ad­ ministrative Services Division; Recruiting and Retention Division; Public Affairs and Information Division. During fiscal year 1972, the Recruiting and Retention Division was organized and manned by one full-time tech­ nician, who is paid from federal funds. This Division has the responsibility for initiating and maintaining a re­ cruiting and retention program for this Department and all units in the state, and supervision of the program. It is anticipated this Division will increase in size by at least two additional employees (Civil Service) during the next fiscal year. The early out release program instituted under the Army's phase-down "Early Release" program effective 1 October 1971 has resulted in 299 Regular Army enlisted men being placed in various units of the Oklahoma Army National Guard. This program was operated by "In-Service Recruiters". Several National Guard NCOs were placed on two year active duty periods and assigned to selected Active Army Posts for screening individuals who were interested in the program.

Fourteen recruiting schools have been conducted during the period October 1971 and April 1972, for members of the Oklahoma Army National Guard and Air National Guard. During the period, 339 officers and enlisted men were trained as qualified recruiters, including the majority of the Army National Guard Technician Force. Two additional schools

31 are scheduled in August 1972. Federal funds have been allocated to the state for operation of these schools. During fiscal year 1972, the Officer Personnel Division maintained normal personnel services for officers and warrant officers of the Oklahoma Army National Guard, in­ cluding the maintenance of permanent individual personnel files, the processing of all applications for appointments, separations, transfers, reassignments, promotions, condi­ tional releases and active duty. As of 30 June 1972, there were 32 Oklahoma Army National Guard officers serving on voluntary tours of duty with the Active Army in various theaters of operation through­ out the world. Currently, 8 officers are assigned to the Inactive National Guard (temporary assignment), with 19 officers and 8 warrant officers carried in "Overstrength" status as a result of one or more reorganizations of the Army National Guard. The Oklahoma Army National Guard lost 22 officers due to the Reserve Officer Personnel Act (ROPA) during fiscal year 1972. Twelve officers were dis­ charged and transferred to the US Army Reserve to accept their mandatory promotion and 10 officers were discharged due to non-selection by the Board for lack of military education. There are 23 officers of the Army National Guard serving under a promotion declination ranging from 1 to 3 years, according to the individual officer's desire.

The Enlisted Personnel Division is maintaining approxi­ mately 8,450 active individual personnel records. Our Central Records activity maintains microfilm copies of service records for approximately 163,000 former Guardsmen, together with original copies of countless documents not yet reduced to microfilm storage and/or required to be maintained in original copy. In addition, some 15,600 World War I veteran's records are on microfilm. During this period, the Division compiled, published and furnished to various State and National agencies or to the individuals concerned, 406 official Statements of Service for former Oklahoma Guardsmen.

The consolidated strength report for the Oklahoma Army National Guard as of 30 June 1972 is as follows:

Warrant Enlisted Officers Officers Men Aggregate Strength, 30 Jun 1972 601 127 7677 8405

32 The current Authorized Manning Level for the Army National Guard is 8805. During the period 1 July 1971 through 30 June 1972, the Oklahoma Army National Guard enlisted 1,317 new enlisted members through transfers from other states, transfers within the state from other components, reenlistments of prior service individuals and enlistment of non-prior service personnel. 1,562 enlisted men were discharged during this period, resulting in a net loss of 245 personnel.

The average drill attendance for this period was 98.5 per­ cent. A total of 21 enlisted men have been placed on Active Duty for unsatisfactory participation in National Guard training during this period, as directed by Army Regulation 135-91. During the reporting period, 1,268 non-prior service per­ sonnel were placed on their required Active Duty training (basic and advanced individual training) under provisions of the Reserve Enlisted Personnel Act of 1963 (REP-63).

During the fiscal year, approximately 2500 different actions were effected by Special Orders and General Orders published by this Section. Approximately 1500 monthly reports were received, tabulated, converted to IBM punch cards and in­ formation transmitted to higher headquarters. Many addit­ ional special strength reports and personnel actions of a one-time nature were prepared and forwarded to higher, adjacent, and lower headquarters. Over 2100 TWX messages were received and 205 messages were dispatched during the period. The following awards and decorations were issued to indivi­ dual Guardsmen by the Section during the period: AWARD/DECORATION NUMBER OK Distinguished Service Medal 3 OK Meritorious Service Medal 8 OK Commendation Medal 34 OK Exceptional Service Medal 2 OK Guardsman Medal 3 OKNG Good Conduct Ribbon 705 OKNG Recruiting Medal 16 100% Attendance Badge 285 (2d year through 17 year Bar) 94 Armed Forces Reserve Medal 65 Oklahoma NG Long Service Medal 1001

33 The Technician Personnel Division is totally supported by Federal funds, and the nine employees authorized the Division are Civil Service employees. It administers the Federal Technician Program, both Army and Air National Guard, for the Military Department.

On 30 June 1972 the Oklahoma Military Department had 508 Army National Guard technicians and 395 Air National Guard technicians on board. These 903 technicians constituted the Federally supported work force of the Military Depart­ ment and are all Civil Service employees. During fiscal year 1972, the Army National Guard technician supported strength was increased from 419 to 509 positions for a total of 90 new employees hired during the fiscal year. Employment of these personnel constituted one of the major work loads in the Technician Personnel Office. The increase was permitted by the change in the ceiling strength in the Army and Air National Guard by an amendment to the National Guard Technician Act of 1968. Due to funds limitation the Air National Guard was not able to increase the strength authorized to the State of Oklahoma, except for two posi­ tions .

General Schedule (white collar) employees in the technician program received a wage increase effective with the first pay period beginning in January 1972. Although the wage grade (blue collar) technicians were denied their cost of living increase in the second quarter, FY 72 due to the "wage price freeze", they eventually received retroactive payment to October 1971. This payment was accomplished in February 1972. On 17 March 1972, approval was received from the National Guard Bureau for an employee-management negotiated contract with the employee organization (union) located at Will Rogers Field. This contract is effective for a two year period from the date of approval. Two additional unions have been granted exclusive recognition. The union at the Tulsa Air National Guard Base and this Department have completed negotiations on a contract which has been approved by the National Guard Bureau except for certain minor cor­ rections. It is anticipated that this contract will be implemented early in FY 73. The remaining union has not yet submitted a proposed contract for negotiations.

During FY 72 the total amount of salaries paid to all Federally supported technicians employed by the Oklahoma

34 Military Department was $9,530,702.06. The total amount paid to Army technicians was $4,834,270.34 and the total amount for Air technicians was $4,696,431.72.

The Administrative Services Division reproduces and dis­ tributes all printed matter generated by the Military Department and processes all incoming and outgoing US Mail. Additionally, publications and blank forms produced by the National Guard Bureau and the Active Army and required by units of the Oklahoma National Guard are requisitioned, received and distributed.

The Division maintains, in shelf-storage, the operating supply of all blank forms used by units within the state, to include all forms designed by the Military Department, National Guard forms, Department of the Army forms, and Standard forms utilized by Government agencies.

During fiscal year 1972, the Division processed over 8,000 multilith plates produced by the Military Department, using in excess of 4,800 reams of paper to reproduce publications from these plates. Incoming and outgoing mail handled during this period totaled over 800,000 pieces (letters and parcel post) and over 900 separate requisitions for publi­ cations and/or blank forms were processed. In June 1972 this Department purchased a 2650 automatic multilith machine, for this Division, which has doubled the Division's reproduction capability.

The Public Affairs and Information Division participated in various activities concerning public service projects and National Guard promotional campaigns. The main effort has been directed towards the area of Recruiting and Retention; however, our efforts in community relations, State activi­ ties , and Federal mission requirements have not been slighted.

Some of the public service projects the Oklahoma National Guard participated in were Boy Scouts, the Stars and Stripes Show, hosting the Air National Guard Bowling Tournament and the National Guard Bureau's Central Regional Information Conference held in Oklahoma City with 15 states participating. Oklahoma Guardsmen either sponsor, support or coach 57 Little League baseball teams and are leaders or sponsors of 40 different Scout groups throughout the State. During fiscal year 1972, over 1,000 Oklahoma National Guardsmen have donated part of their free time in supporting these youth

35 programs. These public service projects are accomplished by members and units of the Oklahoma National Guard on a strictly voluntary basis and in no way detract from the primary mission of "combat readiness" and ready deployment avail­ ability of the Oklahoma Army National Guard.

Other events in which Guardsmen participated, individually or collectively as a unit, are: Madill Sand Bass Festival, Armed Forces Day Parades, special event parades, Kolachi Festival, Memorial Day ceremonies, March of Dimes Drive, carnivals, and a mobile health unit program to assist the State and County Headstart Programs and the underprivileged. This Division provided over 973 releases to the different newspaper, radio and TV medias across the State, to include 643 photographs. During the period, 187 different public service advertisements were produced and released for news­ papers, radios, and TV stations. Two major promotional campaigns were conducted by this Division and they were well received by the news media; the TRY ONE Program, recruiting prior servicemen to enlist for one year; and the GUARD BELONGS, a campaign which relates the Guard to the community and stresses the fact that the Guard belongs to the community.

One of the major projects undertaken was the advent of an eight page tabloid newspaper to supplement our Command Information Program to individual Guardsmen and their families. The newspaper is called ON GUARD and is pub­ lished bi-monthly and sent to each Guardsmen's home. The paper has been well received and many other State Guard Headquarters have adopted this format and method of keeping their Guardsmen informed.

The Inspector General is active in the areas of vehicle accidents; personnel complaints; alleged irregularities connected with Army National Guard activities; claims against individual Guardsmen, the State of Oklahoma and the Active Army; and inspections and audits required during normal operations.

The Division is especially concerned with inquiries and investigations directed by The Adjutant General and is particularly suited to assist the various units and in­ dividual Guardsmen in all personal matters connected with Guard service and/or military operations.

36 The Inspector General also assists individuals who have special problems connected with National Guard service, past or present, and is active in matters relating to military lineage, history, insignia and other items in these fields.

37 38 UNITED STATES PROPERTY AND FISCAL OFFICE

The United States Property and Fiscal Officer, an officer on Active Duty, assigned to the National Guard Bureau, and serving as a principal staff officer to the State Adjutant General, is detailed and bonded to receipt and account for all allotted Federal funds (over 23 million dollars in FY 72) and property (currently over 82 million dollars) in the possession of the Army and Air National Guard. He is responsible both to the United States and the State of Oklahoma for the administration, returns and reports con­ cerning these funds and property and as required by the Secretary of the Service concerned. The Secretary of the appropriate Service requires an inspection of the accounts and records of the USPFO made by an Inspector General at least once a year. Also, these accounts are audited period­ ically by both Army and Air Force Audit Agencies and the General Accounting Office. A total of 63 technicians are authorized by the National Guard Bureau to assist the United States Property and Fiscal Officer in carrying out his responsibilities. These technicians are paid one hundred percent from Federal funds.

The Army National Guard and Air National Guard are issued supplies and equipment as authorized by the Departments of the Army and the Air Force. The amount of equipment issued to a unit at a given time is governed by the Table of Organ­ ization and Equipment as amended by the Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE), Tables of Allowances (TA), and the amount the unit can properly store, maintain, and effectively utilize. The value of the equipment issued to Army and Air National Guard units on hand at the end of fiscal year 1972 is in excess of 82 million dollars. These supplies and equipment are issued for the purpose of arming, equipping and training the National Guard of the State to prepare them for a call or order to Active Duty in Federal service or to duty in the State.

The withdrawal of troops and equipment from Southeast Asia and the emphasis at national level on equipping the National Guard, released modern equipment, both from rebuild and new procurement. Indications are that this trend will continue during Fiscal Year 1973.

With the current emphasis on the Army National Guard as one of our main sources of trained military strength, we are now

39 receiving, in most instances, new and modern equipment comparable to that with which the Active Army is equipped. During last fiscal year, total assets of the OKARNG have increased by $7,418,427 in major TOE items. These major items consist of: Wheeled Vehicles $1,540,026 Crew Served Weapons 102,046 M60 Combat Tanks 884,850 M113 Personnel Carriers 163,110 Support Equipment 4,728,405 (includes 1 armor veh launched 60 ft bridge, bulldozers, aviation, medical and communication equipment) TOTAL $7,418,437

Having this modern equipment in the inventory of the OKARNG ultimately enhances the training, readiness, prestige, morale and retention of the Guardsman serving in the Okla­ homa Army National Guard today.

The following major items of equipment are currently on hand at National Guard stations throughout the State for use in support of training and for use in State emergency and disaster situations:

For each training assembly (not less than 4 consecutive hours duration) the Guardsman receives one day's pay (same scale as Regular Army) commen­ surate with his rank and years of service, plus any incen­ tive or hazardous duty pay authorized. When two unit training assemblies are conducted in one day, the Guardsman is also furnished the noon meal. The subsis­ tence items for this meal, or others consumed at the armory, are purchased locally in the town where the armory is located. The financial impact of these Federal funds paid into Okla­ homa communities for Guardsmen's pay and allowances, services and supplies for fiscal year 1972 Is as follows:

47 STATE MAINTENANCE OFFICE

In FY 1972 the State Maintenance Office was involved in a wide variety of maintenance related activities, some of which were: a. During the first half of the year, a new organiza­ tional maintenance support plan was prepared because of the reorganization which took place in December 1971. The new plan follows organizational command lines as much as possi­ ble and assures that all units receive maximum assistance in maintaining equipment in "combat serviceable" condition.

b. Plans were developed for implementation of a new program prescribed by Department of the Army. The new program is called Maintenance Assistance and Instruction Team (MAIT) and is a totally new concept in that it em­ phasizes help and instruction for units rather than inspec­ tions . c. A new activity was started at Fort Sill called a Week-End Training Equipment Pool (WETEP). This installation is manned by a Shop Foreman plus six other technicians and was established for use primarily by the 45th Field Artillery Group. The Shop at Fort Sill, together with the WETEP at Camp Gruber, gives us two convenient sites in the State where items such as tanks, self-propelled weapons, heavy engineer construction equipment, etc., can be placed in storage but are still readily available to units for training. Normal support type maintenance activities and repairs were conducted during the year by the Combined Support Maintenance Shop at Norman. Work requests for approximately 15,275 various items (vehicles, radios, weapons, canvas, etc) were completed during the year. In addition to normal repairs, a heavy work load was created by the receipt of additional equipment in the State. Most of the equipment received during the year was new, but some was shipped back from Europe in an "as is" condition and required large expendi­ tures of labor man-hours before it was in condition suitable for issue to units.

Priority for the next fiscal year will be given to main­ taining equipment in the best possible condition at all times. This must be done because of the decision by

48 Department of Defense that the National Guard and Army Reserve will be the initial and primary source of aug­ mentation for active duty forces in any future emergency rather than relying on the draft as has been done for the past several years.

54 Federal reimbursement service contracts between the Federal Government and the State of Oklahoma exist on The Adjutant General's facilities in Oklahoma City, State Maintenance facilities at Norman, Aviation facilities at Norman, various organizational maintenance shops located throughout the State; and, on the Oklahoma City and Tulsa Air National Guard bases. Operating and maintenance costs are paid from State funds and reimbursed 75 percent by the Federal Government. A service contract covers the telephone facilities servicing The Adjutant General's Office and allied offices in Oklahoma City. Operating and maintenance costs are paid from State funds and reimbursed on an instrument basis by the Federal Government. Reimbursement received by the State of Oklahoma, from the Federal Government, during the period 1 July 71 - 30 June 72, is as follows: Army Installations $ 42,668.78 Air Installations $207,433.41 During times of natural disasters or as otherwise directed by the Governor of Oklahoma or The Adjutant General, National Guard personnel are placed on State Active Duty status, to perform the functions required. Costs incurred may be base pay, lodging, meals, gasoline and oil, or any combination thereof. When pay is involved the basis for computation is the base pay of the individual as determined by Federal military pay tables. Records of State Active Duty during the period 1 July 71 - 30 June 72, with number of Guardsmen serving indicated in parenthesis, is as follows:

a. Snowstorm (West & (64) $ 2,092.34 Northwest Oklahoma) b. Flood (McCurtain County) (26) 1,551.77 c. Haul Water (Locust Grove) ( 1) 199.84 d. Tornado (Kiersey) ( 7) 283.42 e. Tornado (Davis) (24) 1,230.75 f. Support of conferences, $ 1,504.85 meetings, etc. $ 6,862.97

55 In accordance with Title 44, Oklahoma Statutes, Armory Boards consisting of National Guard officers, enlisted men and civ­ ilians are appointed by The Adjutant General for the purpose of supervising the management of armories, in accordance with State laws and directives of The Adjutant General. Where feasible, armory space is rented to outside organizations or activities for the purpose of deriving income which in turn is used to help defray the utility and maintenance costs of the armories. This, to some extent, relieves the burden of the taxpayers. Funds are deposited to the accounts of local armory boards, in local banks, and expended in accordance with laws and regulations. Monthly financial reports are submitted to The Adjutant General and funds are audited annually or more often if necessary. Income and expenditures during the period 1 July 71 - 30 June 72, are as follows:

Balance as of 1 July 1971 $ 10,210.77 Plus Income 24,007.15 $ 34,217.92 Less Expenditures $ 22,649.61 Balance as of 30 June 1972 $ 11,568.31 Progress is continuing in the area of reducing inventory of old unusable property through droppage of items no longer economically repairable, or worn out through wear and tear. Such items, in most instances, are being replaced from Federal sources. During 1970 a program was begun to replace certain State office furniture by use of State funds. Most of the furniture in use is approximately thirty years old. Some furniture has been repaired and modified in our shop to blend in with the new furniture.

Maintenance of buildings and facilities is performed by the Armory Maintenance Section which operates with a crew of 16 personnel skilled in different trades, and is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 140 buildings and facilities, located throughout the State. The majority of the maintenance work is accomplished by the maintenance crew, such as roofing repairs, electrical, plumbing, car­ pentry, locksmith, painting, etc. Only the major jobs are contracted for. Listed below are the major jobs accomplished during the period 1 July 71 - 30 June 72:

a. Roof repairs (Claremore, Minco, Tishomingo, Tonkawa, and Tulsa)

56 b. Tuckpointing and waterproofing exterior (Henryetta, Hartshorne, Poteau, Madill, Woodward, Allen, Miami, Hollis, Hobart, Pauls Valley, Norman North Campus, Walters, and Elk City)

c. Security fence installation (Eufaula and Poteau) d. Termite treatment (Marlow, Poteau and Tulsa) e. Water line repair - State Maintenance Shop f. Construction of medical facilities - Sperry g. Office modification - Perry h. Boiler Replacement - Lawton New armories have been completed at Chandler and Edmond. The old Chandler Armory has been disposed of by deeding it back to the City of Chandler, in exchange for approximately $42, 000 expended by the City for installation of water and sewer lines and roadways at the new site. The old Edmond Armory reverted back to the City of Edmond, based on a reversionary clause in the deed. Action is being taken to obtain State funding in the amount of $270,000 to match Federal funding for construction of a new Army Aviation Facility and armory at Norman; and a new armory at Duncan. State funds have been appropriated, to match Federal funding, for construc­ tion of an armory at Claremore.

The new Oklahoma Military Department Complex is currently under construction, at NE 34th Street and Grand Blvd, Okla­ homa City, financed by $1,500,000 State bonds and matching Federal funds. The State Armory Maintenance Building is completed and occupied. The Organizational Maintenance Shop is nearing completion and construction of the Head­ quarters Building is underway. Plans are being drawn by the architect for construction of the USPFO Warehouse and combination armory and Officer's Candidate School.

Maintenance of air base buildings and facilities is performed by Federal service contract employees (75% Federal - 25% State) as provided by the Federal reimbursement service con­ tracts, which cover both air bases located at Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

OKLAHOMA AIR NATIONAL GUARD

The Oklahoma Air National Guard experienced several events which disrupted operations and managerial procedures at both bases during Fiscal Year 1972. The 137th Group, Oklahoma City, and the 138th Group, Tulsa, were programmed for mission changes and conversion to different types of aircraft. The 137th was scheduled to convert to the C-130 Tactical Airlift Aircraft. After many manhours and much effort had been de­ voted in preparation of this change, the plan was canceled and the unit was notified to remain in the present C-124 aircraft. All of the C-130 equipment, etc., that had been received was recrated and shipped. The time spent on this transaction had to be considered as being a loss. In May, the 138th Group was advised that they would convert to the F-100 Fighter Aircraft. Since that time, all of the Group's attention and efforts have been directed to this scheduled conversion.

The most outstanding accomplishment during the period was the continuance of the notable flying safety record. The 137th Group entered the 13th year and the 138th Group en­ tered the 16th year of accident free flying. This record, while not completely unprecedented in history, is attract­ ing favorable attention throughout the United States. The time period alone is convincing evidence that responsible personnel devote themselves to proper procedures, good flying judgment, and attention to a multitude of details.

Even though there was some turbulence during the year, a most successful flying program was carried out in the C-124 aircraft. The Air Force, having experienced structural and mechanical deficiencies in their C-5 cargo aircraft, was assisted on a continuous basis. In the meantime all flying training requirements were completed on a timely basis. Flights to foreign countries and other places of interest included Spain, England, Vietnam, Iceland, Hawaii, Panama, Bermuda, Azores, Marshall Islands, and Cuba. The two Groups flew a total number of missions and flying hours, as indica­ ted below:

137 MAGp 138 MAGp Okla City Tulsa Number of Missions: 192 201 Total Flying Hours: 5292 4122

59 Both Groups were rendered an Annual Inspection and an Opera­ tional Readiness Inspection during the reporting period. All of the inspections were passed with high ratings and the in­ specting personnel were complimentary in each instance. Im­ provements shown in this area were noteworthy.

61 The 138th Communications Flight was named the Most Outstand­ ing Air National Guard Flight assigned to Southern Communi­ cations Area, by the Air Force, for their readiness posture and accomplishments. This unit was also recognized as having compiled the most outstanding record of any unit of the Okla­ homa Air National Guard and was awarded the Governor's Trophy during ceremonies in Tulsa.

The Electronics Installation Squadrons were deeply involved in an Air Force project called Rivet Switch. This project is an overall effort to improve the emissions type communi­ cations system of the United States throughout the free world. The individuals participate in this project by volunteering for short tours of active duty and are being sent to every conceivable location of the world. Besides being excellent training, the personnel are introduced to a variety of ex­ periences during these tours. This type of mutual service support is considered to be beneficial to all concerned, in­ cluding getting the most usable returns for the training expenditures.
