6. C o r r e c t i v e a c t i o n has been taken to comply w i t h recommendations made by the A u d i t o r s .

SUPPLY DIVISION

1«. During the p e r i o d reported on the major p r o j e c t accomplished was the t r a n s f e r of the USP&FO a c c o u n t a b i l i t y from E l e c t r i c a l Accounting Machines to F i n a n c i a l Inventory Accounting using N a t i o n a l Cash R e g i s t e r machines on a new type Stock Record Card (NGB Form 30.) Concurrent w i t h such conversion a l l but 15% of a l l cards were converted t o the F e d e r a l Stock Number System. The above unconverted percentage i s due to nona v a i l a b i l i t y of Ordnance ca t a l o g s covering the items i n q u e s t i o n . The present system of accounting not only q u a n t i t a v e l y but d o l l a r - w i s e cannot help but be a tremendous improvement over previous systems. The i n i t i a l inventory revealed a d o l i a r - v a l u e of $111,669,844.88 worth of property issued to the Army New York N a t i o n a l Guard. Such system, embracing as i t does the mandatory use of a s i n g l e l i n e item type of Issue and Turn-In S l i p , w i l l i ncrease the t o t a l number of vouchers each f i s c a l year to approximately 250,000.

8. During the year i n question the Army N a t i o n a l Guard supply and accounting procedures of SR 130-420-1 were replaced by N a t i o n a l Guard Regulations 75-2 and 75-4, both dated 1 J u l y 1957. The l a t t e r r e g u l a t i o n s modify and, where a p p l i c a b l e , r e f e r to a c t i v e Army r e g u l a t i o n s to which the Army N a t i o n a l Guard must adhere.

9. The above N a t i o n a l Guard Regulations allow each Responsible O f f i c e r an a d m i n i s t r a t i v e o p e r a t i o n a l property w r i t e - o f f of $500.00 per f i s c a l year f o r items of a minor non-expendable n a t u r e .

10. There has been a considerable increase during the past year i n the supply and accounting workload of the Supply D i v i s i o n , occasioned i n p a r t by an increase i n supply requirements of the troops r e s u l t i n g from changes i n t a b l e s of equipment and i n part by changes i n accounting procedures and p u r i f i c a t i o n of accounts w i t h i n the o f f i c e of the USP&FO, pl u s

the r e o r g a n i z a t i o n of s e l e c t e d u n i t s of the New York N a t i o n a l Guard. While most of the l a t t e r i ncrease i s temporary and should subside upon comple t i o n of the p r o j e c t s which created i t , experience i n d i c a t e s that f u t u r e changes may w e l l be expected to continue to augment the workload necessary before troop supply requirements can be adjusted.

11. D i s p o s i t i o n of excesses continue as a major p r o j e c t i n the l i g h t of F i n a n c i a l Inventory Accounting and takes on added s i g n i f i c a n c e and r e q u i r e s i n c r e a s e d urgency i n accomplishment. During the year ended 31 October 1957, excess property having an a c q u i s i t i o n value of a p p r o x i mately $7,397,102. was reported f o r d i s p o s i t i o n . A t the beginning of t h i s p e r i o d excess property having an a c q u i s i t i o n value of $3,623,500. had p r e v i o u s l y been reported but no d i s p o s i t i o n had been received to that date. Of t h i s t o t a l of $11,020,600. excess at a c q u i s i t i o n cost to be disposed o f , $429,700. has been turned over to Property D i s p o s a l O f f i cers as s u r p l u s and $9,274,600. returned to depot, withdrawn, or t r a n s f e r r e d to other F e d e r a l or State agencies, l e a v i n g $1,316,300. on hand awaiting d i s p o s i t i o n i n s t r u c t i o n s .

12. A c o m p i l a t i o n of the number of vouchers processed by a l l the t e c h n i c a l s e c t i o n s over a twelve-month p e r i o d provides a f a i r i n d i c a t i o n of the workload over the past few years. As pointed out i n the 1956 Annual Report, the processing of some vouchers r e q u i r e s that they be handled by more than one t e c h n i c a l s e c t i o n because they l i s t items of two or more supply s e r v i c e s . A l s o , t h i s p rocessing i n some insta n c e s r e q u i r e s that c e r t a i n types of vouchers be handled more than once by the s e c t i o n concerned. Nevertheless, the t o t a l number of vouchers processed by a l l s e c t i o n s over the past twelve months exceeded the t o t a l number of vouchers r e g i s t e r e d . While the t o t a l number of vouchers r e g i s t e r e d i n the twelve-month p e r i o d ended 31 October 1957 amounted to 50,839, the t o t a l number of vouchers reported by a l l of the s e c t i o n s concerned as processed p r i o r to p o s t i n g amounted to 69,899.

13. The f o l l o w i n g i s a comparison of the number of vouchers processed by each of the t e c h n i c a l s e c t i o n s and the E d i t i n g S e c t i o n during the twelve-month p e r i o d ended 31 October of each year i n d i c a t e d below:

14o Numerous measures have been adopted and others are under cons i d e r a t i o n to s i m p l i f y and expedite troop supply and accounting r e q u i r e ments. Other measures d i r e c t l y a f f e c t i n g troop supply are d e t a i l e d below under "Storage and Issue. 8 0

15. As i n previous year, funds made a v a i l a b l e by the N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau f o r maintenance, equipment and s u p p l i e s and s e r v i c e s r e q u i r e that only those items a b s o l u t e l y e s s e n t i a l be obtained from F e d e r a l sources. The t o t a l amount a l l o c a t e d f o r i n i t i a l and replacement issue of equipment and s u p p l i e s has again been seve r e l y c u r t a i l e d . The e f f e c t of these r e s t r i c t i o n s w i l l be r e f e r r e d to i n the f o l l o w i n g o u t l i n e of the a c t i v i t i e s during the year of the va r i o u s s e c t i o n s of the Supply D i v i s i o n *

17. As i n the previous year, under a coordinated d i r e c t i v e by F i r s t Army, a l l stocks of chemical ammunition h e l d by u n i t s were taken to Camp Drum f o r the f i e l d t r a i n i n g p e r i o d where they were insp e c t e d f o r s e r v i c e a b i l i t y and a l l unserviceable items together w i t h ammunition expended i n t r a i n i n g were replaced from s e r v i c e a b l e s t o c k s .

22. A c o n s i d e r a b l e p o r t i o n of t h i s s e c t i o n ' s e f f o r t s during the year was devoted to t h e supply of AAA o n - s i t e gun p o s i t i o n s . That, p l u s i n i t i a l steps to e s t a b l i s h new FIA Stock Record cards increased the workload of t h i s s e c t i o n c o n s i d e r a b l y .

23. On 6 May 1957, the N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau announced a program of replacement of World War I I t a c t i c a l type wheeled v e h i c l e s , t r a i l e r s and s e m i t r a i l e r s .

This represents approximately 60 per cent of the t o t a l a l l o t t e d aggregate strength of 44,075. These f i g u r e s i n d i c a t e a decrease of 28 o f f i c e r s , 26 warrant o f f i c e r s and 214 e n l i s t e d men since 1 December 1956. The l o s s i n o f f i c e r s t r e n gth has been a t t r i b u t a b l e to the high a t t r i t i o n rate i n the higher grades i n t h i s the tenth year of r e o r g a n i z a t i o n of the N a t i o n a l Guard a f t e r World War I I .

-86-

and the N a t i o n a l Guard A s s o c i a t i o n of the United S t a t e s , was c h e e r f u l l y accepted by the New York N a t i o n a l Guard because i t solved a r e c r u i t i n g problem and guaranteed a steady i n f l u x of b a s i c a l l y t r a i n e d s o l d i e r s .

b. On 1 May 1957, the C h i e f , N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau, i s s u e d i n s t r u c t i o n s to the S t a t e s , T e r r i t o r i e s and the D i s t r i c t of Columbia t h a t , i n order to h o l d the s t r e n g t h of the N a t i o n a l Guard w i t h i n the numbers provided f o r by a v a i l a b l e funds f o r the f o u r t h quarter of f i s c a l year 1957, the f o l l o w i n g a c t i o n s were to be taken during the month of May:

(1) Discharge a l l e n l i s t e d men who would not be a v a i l a b l e f o r a c t i v e duty under orders i s s u e d by the P r e s i d e n t of the United S t a t e s or who, f o r any reason, may not q u a l i f y f o r a c t i v e duty.

(2) T r a n s f e r to the I n a c t i v e N a t i o n a l Guard a l l e n l i s t e d men who are not performing s a t i s f a c t o r y s e r v i c e and men who w i l l not be a v a i l a b l e f o r summer f i e l d t r a i n i n g .

(3) L a t e r , on 7 May 1957, the C h i e f , N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau advised the Commanding General that a f i s c a l year 1957 year-end s t r e n g t h f i g u r e f o r the Army N a t i o n a l Guard of 425,000 had been approved by the S e c r e t a r y of the Army and t h a t a budget request f o r the apportionment of the necessary funds to support t h i s s t r e n g t h had been approved• I n asmuch as i t appeared that the 30 A p r i l s t r e n g t h would be over 437,000 t h i s meant a r e d u c t i o n of about 3% of the e n l i s t e d s t r e n g t h would be necessary to b r i n g the 30 June s t r e n g t h to 425,000. However, the C h i e f , N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau was of the o p i n i o n at that time, t h a t the S t a t e s could handle t h i s without any c o n t r o l s being put i n t o e f f e c t by the Bureau.

(4) On 16 May 1957, the C h i e f , N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau again advised the Commanding General t h a t , i n order to remain wi t h i n the Congr e s s i o n a l l y supported year-end s t r e n g t h f o r the Army N a t i o n a l Guard of 425,000 f o r f i s c a l year 1957, i t was necessary t o e s t a b l i s h s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g s f o r each s t a t e . The e n l i s t e d c e i l i n g f o r New York was e s t a b l i s h e d at 24,610 which had to be reached by 30 June 1957. I t was not contemplated, at that time, that s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g s would be imposed f o r o f f i c e r s .

(5) On 23 May 1957, the e n l i s t e d s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g was i n c r e a s e d to 24,800.

(6) On 31 May 1957, the t o t a l aggregate s t r e n g t h of the New York Army N a t i o n a l Guard was 28,255. Of t h i s f i g u r e , the e n l i s t e d s t r e n g t h of 25,822, represented the highest e n l i s t e d s t r e n g t h a t t a i n e d s i n c e the r e o r g a n i z a t i o n of the New York Army N a t i o n a l Guard i n March 1947.

c. Due to the i m p o s i t i o n of the s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g upon the New York Army N a t i o n a l Guard a t o t a l of 1,022 e n l i s t e d men were e i t h e r d i s charged or t r a n s f e r r e d i n t o the I n a c t i v e N a t i o n a l Guard.

-87-

d. During the p e r i o d 1 A p r i l to 31 J u l y 1957, 1,861 e n l i s t e d men were processed i n t o the S i x Months A c t i v e Duty f o r T r a i n i n g Program. This compares w i t h a t o t a l of 644 who were processed during the e n t i r e p e r i o d November 1955 through March 1957.

e. Subsequent to these events and a f t e r the major part of our u n i t s and o r g a n i z a t i o n s had completed t h e i r s i n u a l f i e l d t r a i n i n g , t h i s D i v i s i o n was advised on 30 J u l y 1957, that there were i n s u f f i c i e n t funds i n the f i s c a l year 1958 budget to t r a i n personnel who were a l ready i n the S i x Months T r a i n i n g Program,

f o In order to s a t i s f y and accomplish t h i s p r o j e c t and comp l e t e the annual f i e l d t r a i n i n g of u n i t s the C h i e f , N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau, i n a d i r e c t i v e dated 29 J u l y 1957, ordered u n i t s to reduce the number of p a i d armory d r i l l s , , to be h e l d i n the f i r s t quarter of f i s c a l year 1958, to four (4) l e s s than the number h e l d i n the f i r s t q uarter f i s c a l year 1957*

go As had been surmised, when the f i r s t i m p o s i t i o n of e n l i s t ed s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g s were d i r e c t e d by the N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau , the eventual i m p l i c a t i o n of both o f f i c e r s and .warrant o f f i c e r s i n t o an aggregate s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g was r e a l i z e d oh 1, October 1957 when the State of New York was advised that e f f e c t i v e 31 October 1957 the aggregate s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g would not exceed 27,159.

4. The year 1958 w i l l prove to be a strong challenge and t e s t of our r e c r u i t i n g p o t e n t i a l . With l i m i t a t i o n s being placed upon the number of non-prior s e r v i c e personnel who may enter S i x Months A c t i v e Duty f o r T r a i n i n g , our e f f o r t s must of n e c e s s i t y be d i r e c t e d towards the veteran and p r i o r s e r v i c e personnel who s t i l l have a remaining s e r v i c e o b l i g a t i o n .

5. The f u t u r e of the N a t i o n a l Guard depends upon our a b i l i t y to conduct and implement a strong r e c r u i t i n g program and to f i l l our u n i t s to authorized s t r e n g t h w i t h t r a i n e d personnel.

6. The continued support and cooperation of Headquarters, F i r s t United S t a t e s Army? the O f f i c e of the C h i e f , United States Army M i l i t a r y D i s t r i c t of New York and the O f f i c e of the Senior Army Ad v i s o r added cons i d e r a b l y to more e f f i c i e n t operation and helped to maintain the h i g h standards e s t a b l i s h e d f o r t h i s headquarters.

7. The i n v a l u a b l e a s s i s t a n c e and cooperation of the N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau, p a r t i c u l a r l y the Personnel Branch, helped to e s t a b l i s h sound personnel p o l i c i e s and a d m i n i s t r a t i v e procedures.

I I . INTELLIGENCE

1. During the past year, the emphasis was placed on the i n d i v i d u a l t r a i n i n g . T his had the advantage of g i v i n g a l l personnel t r a i n i n g i n b a s i c and combat i n t e l l i g e n c e procedures, developing an awareness i n a l l ranks of the n e c e s s i t y of and importantic of b a t t l e f i e l d i n t e l l i g e n c e .

2. S p e c i a l catalogs of s t a f f t r a i n i n g m a t e r i a l , published by the United States Army I n t e l l i g e n c e School, F o r t H o l a b i r d , Maryland, were is s u e d to the s t a f f s of I n f a n t r y and Armored U n i t s . T h i s m a t e r i a l f i l l s a long f e l t need of p r o v i d i n g i n s t r u c t i o n a l m a t e r i a l f o r the t r a i n i n g of i n t e l l i g e n c e personnel during the Armory D r i l l Year.

3. Department of Army requirements f o r c a r e f u l screening and obt a i n i n g of s e c u r i t y clearances f o r key personnel and personnel attending c e r t a i n courses at Army Ser v i c e Schools continues as a major f u n c t i o n of a l l i n t e l l i g e n c e personnel.

I I I . PLANS, OPERATIONS AND TRAINING

1. During 1957 the Chief of S t a f f to the Governor found i t necessary to undertake a program of r e o r g a n i z a t i o n which was the most ext e n s i v e a f f e c t i n g the Army N a t i o n a l Guard since the r e o r g a n i z a t i o n of the 27th Armored D i v i s i o n from I n f a n t r y i n 1955.

2. Two compelling f a c t o r s brought about t h i s r e o r g a n i z a t i o n . These were:- 1. A s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g imposed upon a l l N a t i o n a l Guard u n i t s by the Department of the Army^ and 2. the a c t i v e Army r e o r g a n i z a t i o n of i t s d i v i s i o n s f o l l o w i n g the Pentomic Concept. These f a c t o r s w i l l be discussed s e p a r a t e l y .

3 o The i m p o s i t i o n of a s t r e n g t h c e i l i n g found New York N a t i o n a l Guard u n i t s w i t h varying degrees of s t r e n g t h . In most i n s t a n c e s , company-s i z e d u n i t s of the I n f a n t r y D i v i s i o n were below the s t r e n g t h necessary f o r proper f u n c t i o n i n g . A t r a i n i n g program f o r these understrength u n i t s was d i f f i c u l t t o conduct p r o p e r l y s i n c e c l a s s e s were so v a r i e d and personnel so few. In a d d i t i o n , a requirement was imposed by the Department of the Army that u n i t t r a i n i n g would be i n i t i a t e d by a l l u n i t s i n the F a l l of 1958, p r i o r to which, b a s i c and advanced i n d i v i d u a l t r a i n i n g would be conducted. Therefore, i t became necessary to strengthen e x i s t i n g u n i t s by disbanding some u n i t s and t r a n s f e r r i n g t h e i r personnel to remaining u n i t s . As a r e s u l t of t h i s r e o r g a n i z a t i o n , u n i t s are now prepared to enter u n i t t r a i n i n g and w i l l have s u f f i c i e n t s t r e n g t h to form the f u n c t i o n a l teams r e q u i r e d .

4. The Pentomic Concept, whit$i a l s o i n f l u e n c e d the r e o r g a n i z a t i o n , was based upon the Department of the Army * s r e a l i z a t i o n t hat more mobile, f l e x i b l e f o r c e s w i t h atomic f i r e power support, must be provided f o r the atomic b a t t l e f i e l d of the f u t u r e .

6. With the c u r r e n t r e o r g a n i z a t i o n , the Army N a t i o n a l Guard u n i t s of the State of New York w i l l r equire few a d d i t i o n a l minor changes i n the f u t u r e , i n order to be completely reorganized under ROCID Concept.

7. The advent of new weapons s i m i l a r l y a f f e c t our a n t i - a i r c r a f t u n i t s which, s i n c e 1954, have been on the a l e r t , manning guns i n the New York C i t y , B u f f a l o and Niagara defense areas. These missions have now been terminated by the Department of the Army and the u n i t s so engaged w i l l s h o r t l y enter a t r a i n i n g program which w i l l enable them to occupy NIKE M i s s i l e S i t e s vacated by the A c t i v e Army. Service school t r a i n i n g f o r t e c h n i c i a n s w i l l be phased over more than a year. Personnel w i l l be i n t e g r a t e d i n t o the school system dependent upon the length of time r e q u i r e d to t r a i n them f o r t h e i r s p e c i a l t y . This w i l l a llow a complete packet to be graduated f rom A c t i v e Army Service School at the same time.

8. A c o n t i n u i n g t r a i n i n g problem which has faced a l l N a t i o n a l Guard Commanders i n the p a s t , has been the constant t r a i n i n g of new r e c r u i t s i n b a s i c s u b j e c t s before these men could be f u l l y i n t e g r a t e d i n t o the u n i t .

9. A s o l u t i o n was found f o r t h i s c o n t i n u i n g problem by the agreement of the N a t i o n a l Guard and the A c t i v e Army, which mandates that each r e c r u i t e n l i s t e d af t e r 1 A p r i l 1957, must r e c e i v e s i x months of a c t i v e duty t r a i n i n g at an Army I n s t a l l a t i o n af t e r e n l i s t m e n t .

10. No longer w i l l r e c r u i t schools be necessary i n the N a t i o n a l Guard.

I t i s f e l t that w i t h the emphasis on the t r a i n ing of the i n d i v i d u a l s o l d i e r i n the weapon w i t h which he i s armed, the co n t i n u a t i o n of the matches w i l l insure the accomplishment of the prer e q u i s i t e s p r e s c r i b e d by C o n t i n e n t a l Army Command and the success of the marksmanship program o u t l i n e d by the C h i e f , N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau.

NATIONAL MATCHES - For the f o u r t h consecutive year the New York N a t i o n a l Guard was represented i n the N a t i o n a l Matches at Camp P e r r y , Ohio. F e d e r a l funds were a l l o c a t e d f o r the support of a ten man R i f l e and seven man P i s t o l Team.

14. A l l of the team members attended the Small Arms F i r i n g School conducted at Camp Perry by the Fort Benning I n s t r u c t o r Group which q u a l i f i e d them as R i f l e and P i s t o l I n s t r u c t o r s and Coaches.

17. The continued imporvement of our teams i n the N a t i o n a l Matches portends a s u c c e s s f u l f u t u r e and we are confident that w i t h the increase emphasis upon R i f l e Marksmanship we w i l l soon b r i n g back to New York "The Coveted H i l t o n Trophy".
