THE ADJUTANT
GENERAL'S MESSAGE

MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE J, HEARN

Fellow Guardsmen:
It was with great pride and admiration that I reviewed the training inspection reports and ratings after the termination of the annual field training of the 48th Armored Division.
While it was only the third summer training period after thereorganization of the division, outstanding progress was made. For instance last year, the division had only 5 Superiors, with 87 Excellent and 2 StJtisfactory ratings. This year the division achieved 25 Superiors, 69 Excellents, and there were no lower ratings of any of the 94 units.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and commend the entire command for this remarkable achievement. Planning and operations have advanced to a high degree of efficiency and our division can be very proud of its record.
It is apparent that morale of the individual Guardsman was very high, and this is certainly a tribute to the leadership of the division from NCO level up to the commanding general.
My hearty congratulations for a job well done.

STAR T ING AT T HE BOTTOM, LT. POSS IS ON TH E WAY UP!

Robe rt E. Poss, Augusta Lieut. , Qualifies for Col.

School-wise, Robert Edward Poss is qualified to wear a colonel's eagles on his shoulders.
But he's a second lieutenant. The 31-year old Augusta, Ga., National Guardsman - a member of Thomson's Company A, 448th Supply and Transportation Bn., -- has an amazing story to tell of rapid completion of Arm y extension courses from the Quartermaster School at F t. Lee, Va.
On March 13 of this year, Lt. Poss ended seven months of fireball education which saw him graduate from Ft. Lee's basic and ca-
reer courses -- at the same time completing the Army Supply Course.
He is thus holder of educational qualifications for a full colonel ' s rank, U. S. Quartermaster Corps, but his present TO&E job with the 48th Armored Div., Georgia Army National Guard, call for a lieutenancy.
A food specialist, Lt. Poss helps plan and carry out the feeding of some 7,500 Geor~ia National Guardsmen on summer maneuvers here with the 48th Armored Div., June 6-20.
In civilian life, he' s an instrument mechanic for the Savannah River H-bomb plant near Augusta.

He's married and has two daughters, ages seven and four.
Lt. Poss has been a Guardsman for the past 13 years, rising to the rank of E-7 in the anti-aircraft ar
t-illery in 1959. Following a re organization of his unit to Signal, Poss was promoted to warrant offi cer.
In July 1961 he was called to active duty with the lllth Signal Bn. , in the Berlin Crisis and served at Ft. Meade, Md. After release from regular service, he received a com miss.ion as second lieutenant in August 1963.
Poss had made an earlier stab at commissioned rank in 1960 when he attended a special Officer Candidate Course at Ft. Benning, but he was dropped from the school before graduation on account of a shoulder injury.
He is currently enrolled in ex. ten sion cour ses of the Army Logis tical Management Center at Ft. Lee under a waiver of rank. This train ing is normally offered only to offi cers in the grade of captain or
above. The school-whiz also has com
pleted " subsistence" and "petroleum" courses at Ft. Lee in ad clition to regular correspondence
work.

Ai~ Guardsman, Lloyd A. Stanford, Recalls Escape, is Promoted to L/C

Lloyd A. Stanford, Columbus resident and recipient of the cher ished Silver Boot Award of the British Armed Forces has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Georgia Air National Guard.
Colonel Stanford's 24-year afilliation with the armed services of this country has included combat duty in both WWII and Korea, and a fantastic six month's oddysey behind enemy lines.
October 10, 1943 saw the then flidgeling Lieutenant Stanford, a navigator-bombadier, embark upon his fifth combat mission. He and his crew were headed for Germany, where American bombers were pummelling German industrial centers in daring daylight raids, when his B-17 was severely damaged by enemy anti-ai ~craft fire. Lilll'ing along at 25,000 feet with two of its four engines gone, the "flying fortress" was attacked by a swarm of german fighter planes. The ensuing battle was so fierce that every single round of ammunition aboard Colonel Stanford's plane was used. Four of the 25 attacking planes were downed by the courageous crew and Colona! Stanford was given credit for gagging one of them.
The surviving members of the crew bailed out, Colonel Stanford being the last one to leave. After a miraculous escape from .German Ground Forces, Colonel Stanford made his way into Holland, where he was aided by the underground and guided into Paris. The French Underground then spirited him into Spain, a neutral country. A British plane picked him up at Gibraltar, and after a bizarre journey~ rife with all of the intrigue of a James Bond adventure, Colonel Stanford was at home once more.
The aforementioned Silver Boot decoration was a recognition bestowed upon downed Allied airmen who escaped from Germany without being first captured. At the time Colonel Stanford was so honored, there were only three who had made comparable treks.
Colonel Stanford laughingl y recalls that his post-elusion assign

LT COL LLOYD A. STANFORD

ment was to assist an Escape and

Evasion expert in briefing combat-

bound US fl y ers on the proper tech-

niques of eluding would-be captors

when downed in enemy-held terri-

tory. The expert would make his

presentation and Colonel Stanford

would follow, relating his adventure.

The novelty of this dichotomous

presentation was that Colonel

Stanford had done everything wrong,

according to the expetts, and had

still succeeded.

Colonel Stanford' s paedagogical

abilities were recognized when he

was chosen to instruct in a school

for instructors. The Korean con-

flict demanded that he forsake that

gentle profession in favor of more

critical duties when he logged no

less than 65 hazardous surveillance

missions as an aircraft navigator.

Colonel Stanford presently serves

in the Georgia Air National Guard

as Logistics Officer of the ll6th

Air Transport Group. His awards

and decorations, in addition to that

already mentioned, include the

Purple Heart; Air Medal with one

Oak Leaf Cluster; European-African-

Middle Eastern Combat World War II Victory Medal ;

MAmeedrail~

can Combat Medal ; Army of Occupa-

tion Medal ; United Nations Service

Medal; Armed Forces Reserve

Medal; National Defense Service

Medal; Air Force Longevity Service

Award; and the Georgia Air National

Guard Service Medal.

Claxton Stu dents
Vi sit 406t h 0 rd
Fourteen members of the Claxton High School were guests of the 406th Ordnance Company, Georgia National Guard, at Hinesville Sun day, May 2.
These young men were participants in the " Muster Day" activities being conducted by the 406th for the benefit of prospective enlistees in the Georgia National Guard.
During a recent enlistment drive conducted by the National Guard unit in Hinesville, the entire senior class was invited to vis it the 406 th to give them the opportunity to observe a modern-day National Guard unit during a normal training period.
The group was met at the Cl a xton High School on the morning of May 2 by a delegation from the 406th and transported to the Georgia National Guard Field Training Equipment Concentration Site at Fort Stewart.
There they were shown the very latest National Guard equipment and training facilities. Demonstra tions on the operation and use s of the various types of armored ve hides, self-propelled weapons, and automatic weapons, were gi ven by members of the 406th.
After enjoying a hearty meal prepared by the Mess section, the group was given a thorough tour of the modern Armory building.
An orientation period followed, with Capt. Guy W. Anderson, colD" manding officer of the 406th, gi ving a brief outline on the history of the 406th and the National Guard. The group then participated in a llvely question and answer period.
After observing a typical Nat ional Guard unit in action for a full day, the group was then transported home by the 406th.

Savannah Beckons Ga NG Officers To Assn. Convention

A crackerjack program of fun and festivities will (shall we say it) merge with an enlightening program of speeches a nd discussions when Georgia delegates to the National Guard Association of Georgia Con vention meet in Savannah Septem bet 1112.
Hosting the annual conference for 1965 will be the genial comman der of the 11 7th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, Lt. Col. Creighton L. Rhodes, association president.
Prizes galore await the Georgia officers who register at the DeSoto Hotel. Three free trips to the nat ional convention of the U. S. As sociation meeting this year in Miami will be given as door prizes to those "present and registered" who draw the lucky tickets.
Plus, for the first time, a $ 100.00

cash prize will be presented on the spot t~ one lucky Guardsman just for. bemg at the annual meeting. Thts attendance prize is restricted to Guardsmen only, Col. Rhodes reports ,
Col, Rhodes promises special entertainment fot the ladies who will bt- present, A pink champagne fashion show with numerous door prizes for the girls is the chief feature . The usual reception will follow the Saturday afternoon busi ness session, but there's a different twist to the banque t, Col. Rhodes indicates there will be no banquet speaker just feasting, frivolity and professional entertainment imported from Atlanta,
Guest speakers will again be on the podium, representing high levels of the government and the military of particular interest to

Guardsmen. Col. Rhodes has pulled out all
stops in making this one of the best meetings in the history of the As-
sociation and urges all members to
make every effort to come to Savan nah, with wives if possible, for the fun and fact-filled occasion.
Hotel accommodations will be at an all-time low, says our presi dent, with "sub-military rates pre vailing for association members and their guests."
Also, don't forget that one of ficer from each unit is authorized to attend th e convention as the official delegate from his unit at unit fund expense. Officers whose expenses are being paid are encour aged to take others from their unit to conserve traQsportation ex penses and to foster higher atten dance at the annual jubilee.

DIVISION COMPLETES TRAINING WITH 25 SUPERIOR S, DRAWS PRAISE OF GOVERNOR SANDERS FOR READINESS

Wondering whether they were training for the last time as mem bers of Georgia' 48th Armored Divtswn, Army Guardsmen from throughout the tate rolled into Ft.
tewart the weekend of June 5-6 for two rugged weeks of annual field training maneuvers.
Seemingly oblivious of their destiny, the 7,000 plus officers and men put all they had into the exercises around the sprawling armor training center and completed their duties with commendable achievements.
Garnered by the clivi ion's 94 organic units were 25 uperior ratings and 69 Excellents. one was as low as Satisfactory. This compared with only 5 Superior, 87 Excellent and 2 Satisfactory las t ye ar -- the second year after reorganization.
An abnormally cool (for Ft. Stewart) fortnight kept spirits high

as heavy clouds, occasionally laden with considerable moisture, sheltered the Guardsmen from the hot rays. It was a relatively safe camp, too, with a minumum of accidents and injuries, none of which were fatal.
Major General Benjamin F. Merritt, commanding the division -with a sure and steady hand, kept watch over the division's ramparts by helicopter along with his chief assistants, Brigadier Generals Charles L. Davis and Jack G. Johnson. Their frequent forays into the field areas, where the troops were on bivouac, kept everyone on their toes.
Regular Army evaluators were very much on the scene, too, marking up units for everything from dirty linen to greasy weapons, but
generally having praise for the condition of equipment and operational readiness of the Guard organizations,

An unusual feature of th e fi rst week's camp was the distribution of a "Hurricane Scrapbook" - a 16-page magazine depicting the 19-year history of the 48th in pictorial and narrative form. Scraping together photos from organi za tional days of 1946 on thro ugh summer camp of 1964 , Division and
tate Information officers produced the colorful acco unt of pa st and present "days of work and glory," a nostalgic review of the division' post-WW II history.
Governor Carl E . Sanders made his annual visit with the Division, flying in to address the mas sed Guardsmen on Governor' s Day, June 12. Arriving to a welcoming 19-gun salute of the Wayc ros battalion's 105mm Howitzers , the Georgia Guard's Commander-in Chief told the Guardsmen he would continue his full support of rhe~r goals and at the same time "jotn

Impressive as was the Division Review , Col. Andrew W. McKenna ' s 1s t Brigade put on a memorable s ho w of its own power June 11 with its annual mounted review, Bristling with armor, the 1st Brigade conducted a simulated tank attack on a "defended" position that "smoked out" the " enemy."
Guests of the 1st Brigade weathered a steady downpour of light rain to witness the troop laden trucks and juggernauts of armor pass in review,
It was a damp week for the men in -the field June 14-17, however the frequent rains did not slow down the training progress appreciably. Aggressor forces were charging at all hours of the day and night and infiltrating friendly posmons to wreak havoc on the men, mo ral e and machinery. lt was all simulated combat made realistic by the firing

of blank ammunit~ion and th e . wea~ ing of grass -green aggressor uniforms.
When the time came to mo ve back into the contonement area, the Guardsmen could look back on two moist but cool weeks of in tensive training. Apparently none faltered nor fagged in the face of persistent rumors that the division may have been undergoing its last enca mpment , A Department .of Defense proposal to merge the Army Reserves into the Army Guard would have eliminated the 48th from the Army Guard structure, but the plan was still under study by Congress as the Guardsmen toil ed at Ft. tewart,

A Georgia Air National Guard unit accepted crates of "unserviceable" parts and put together an operational heightfinder radar worth almost $200,000
ANG officials said the radar assembled in 15 months by the 117th Aircraft Control and Warning Flight, Savannah, Ga., is now in use.
Spokesmen said the equipment was damaged. It was hoped the unit could cannibalize it for badly needed parts.
Flight commander Lt. Col. Creighton L. Rhodes and his radar maintenance section surveyed .the conglomeration of parts and decided they could make something out of them. They took the matter to the National Guard Bureau and were given the go-ahead to attempt to re store action to the set.

MATS Changes 1Jan
To "Mil Airlift Cmd"
Rumors circul ating for th e p as t few years that MATS (Military Air Transport Service) was about to change its name are about to com e true. An article in the Jun e 9 issue of the AF Times indicates the new monica will take effect 1 January 1966. From then on it will be known as MAC (Military Airlift Command).
The AF Times commented editorially that MATS is more suitable than MAC because MATS represents a service rather than a command. The committee recommending the change says the new title is "descriptive of its true function and , , a recognition of its vital mission."
Georgia's ANG air transport wing and subordin a te groups and squadrons have MATS as their gaining command.

"STRAC" NOW "ARSTR IKE"
The term "STRAC," long used to describe the dual-corps force which makes up the United States Force s STRIKE Command, has been replaced by the more specific term "ARST RIKE."
The Strategic Army Corp s (STRA C) was created in 1958 to provide the Army with the capability for immediate and effective re-
ponse in an emergency. Originally a light, three-division force, it now contains two tactical corps, eight combat divisions, and addition a l combat and support units.
After the United States STRIK E Command came into being in 1961, to broaden the nation's response capability, its Army element, ARSTRIKE, took over direction of all STRAC forces. the term "AR-
TRIK E" specifically denotes the present status and mission of these forces and replaces the former term " TRAC."
