    Marblehead Biography Dolphus Cleve King Dolphus Cleve King was born 14 MAY 1916 in Vivian, Caddo Parish, Louisiana, a dozen miles south of the Arkansas-Louisiana-Texas border junction. Family, friends, and co-workers called him by his middle name. Cleve’s father, Augustus Garland King (b.1887-1939), was a life-long oil field worker from rural Lafayette County, AR near Lewisville fifty miles northeast of Vivian. Both of Garland’s parents were from Arkansas. At the time of Cleve’s birth, Garland Dolphus Cleve King, worked for Interstate Oil Company near Vivian. The Shreveport Journal article in 1941 Cleve’s mother, Ada May Seward (1887-1926) hailed from rural Columbia County, Source: Newspapers.com Arkansas. Her dad, John R. Seward (1858-1937), was a farmer from Arkansas, and her mother, Mary Ann Kea (1861–1933), was from North Carolina. Cleve was the 5th-born of six children from this union. His siblings were William Henry (1908–1910), Lillian Mae (1910–1990), Ollie Z. (1912–2004), Henry Allen (1914–1989), and Elmer Garland (1919– 1980). All were born in Louisiana. Ada May died on 20 FEB 1926 at the age of 39 in Plain Dealing, Bossier Parish, Louisiana, their home at `the time. Cleve was just ten years old. With kids still to raise, Augustus remarried quickly, to Nora Lee Boyd, twenty-five years his junior. Nora was also from Arkansas. According to his granddaughter Kelly, few were enamored by Cleve’s first name. “The reason my grandfather, also nicknamed “Red” because of his red hair, went by his middle name was because no one liked his first name.

Under General George Washington, the Continental Army fought for the independence and rights of a fledgling nation. This first American Army— primarily made up of ordinary citizens with little or no warfighting experience—comprised Soldiers who held a zealous desire for independence. Their motivation for freedom ultimately led them to defeat the well-established and well-trained British army. This motivation and love for country are instilled in today’s Soldiers as they continue to fight for and defend freedom from oppression for all.

  • Basic Branches of the United States Army Basic Branch Information After
    Basic Branches of the United States Army Basic Branch Information After graduation from ROTC Advanced Camp and before commissioning, cadets make the most important decision of their emerging Army career ­ which branch to serve in. The reasons for choosing a branch are varied and personal. The choice can based on the desire to use the academic credentials gained while at school or simply a desire to do something exciting. The 16 basic branches available to cadets are all important to the total Army force and each cannot function without the other. Adjutant General ­ To plan, develop, and direct systems for managing the Army's personnel, administrative, and Army band systems. These systems impact on unit readiness, morale, and soldier career satisfaction, and cover the life cycle management of all Army personnel. Air Defense Artillery ­ The primary mission will be to protect the force and critical tactical and geopolitical assets. This important task is made especially challenging by the evolution of modern tactical ballistic missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft. Armor/Cavalry ­ The heritage and spirit of the United States Calvary lives today in Armor. And although the horse has been replaced by 60 tons of steel driven by 1,500HP engine, the dash and daring of the Horse Calvary still reside in Armor. Today, the Armor branch of the Army (which includes Armored Calvary), is one of the Army's most versatile combat arms. It’s continually evolving to meet worldwide challenges and potential threats. Aviation­ One of the most exciting and capable elements of the Combined Arms Team. As the only branch of the Army that operates in the third dimension of the battlefield, Aviation plays a key role by performing a wide range of missions under diverse conditions.

FOREWORD The National Guard Bureau recognizes the need for structured training programs to maintain the high level of skill and competence demanded in industry. Registered apprenticeship is the most practical and sound training system available to meet that need, to develop individuals into skilled journeyworkers, and to ensure industry an adequate supply of skilled workers. Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 29, outlines the requirements for registration of acceptable apprenticeship programs for Federal purposes, and sets forth labor standards that safeguard the welfare of apprentices. Such registration may be by the U. S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship, or by a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office of Apprenticeship as the appropriate body in that State for approval of local apprenticeship programs for Federal purposes. Title 29, CFR part 30 sets forth the requirements for equal employment opportunity in apprenticeship to which all registered apprenticeship programs must adhere. The purpose of these National Guidelines for Apprenticeship Standards (National Guideline Standards) is to provide policy and guidance to local Sponsors in developing these Standards for Apprenticeship for local approval and registration.
