'Vhe ~a (iu arJ3man GOVERNOR LESTER G. MADDOX THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S MESSAGE MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE J, HE AR N My Fellow Guardsmen: With the recent emphasis being placed on State Active Duty missions, particularly duty involving control of civil disturboncies, there is on increasing need for Guard units to maintain close ties with the civilian community. As port of this deportment's continuing effort to build the image and prestige of the Guard while serving a community need, we have developed two programs. One is our Traffic Safety Program begun in May~ and the second is the Air Rifle Range Exhibit developed for 'State fairs this Fall. This latter activity has resulted in excellent reception by the publi c as we emphasize the teaching of fire a rm safety to boys and girls 10 to 14 in cooperation with the Daisy Air Rifle Manufactu ring Company. The rifle exhibi t has been scheduled for five fairs. The first three, held in Rome, Atlanta and Monro e, resulted in the exposure of 5,911 youths to this valuable Natio nal Guard training. Reflecting on the success of this endeavor, I would like to encourage each unit to develop a community relations effort of some kind th at will perform a needed service while enhancing the image of the Gua rd. 'Some examples of the projects that might be employed can be found in the book, Influencing Community Opinion, published by NGB in 1964 which should be in each unit's permanent file. Promoting programs of safety or projects that otherwise are in the best interests of the community assist us, as citizen soldie rs, in the . discharge of our responsibilities to the community while main tai ning our basic readiness to defend our Nation in ti me of nation al emergency. . ~ gS $% SSSSSSSSSSSSS%%% 1 %5 THE GEORGIA GUARDSMAN Vol. 17 May - Aug 1967 No. 3 A publication of the Department of Defense, Military Division, State of Georgia.

For Historic Duty A unique experiment in training National. Guard troops in highly specialized fields was completed recently by Atlanta' s 406th Ordnance Company . The men from " F Troop' ' (The 406th), spent their two week's summer encampment at the Anniston Army Depot , near Fort McClellan, Alabama, working on highly sophisticated equipment including, the M-43A3 tank, artillery, and fire control equipment. The mission of the 406th is to maintain such equipment in case of national emergency. This is the first time in Georgia National Guard history that men in this type of unit have actually worked at a regular repair facility such as the Anniston Depot during summer training. The Maintenance Director of the depot, Lt. Col. Edward Long, was delighted with the performance of the 406th. He said, "The versatility and skill displayed by the members of this company was outstanding. Nothing but praise concerning their job performance, work habits, and cooperation with depot personnel has been received from directorate supervisors". During a day-long visit to Fort McClellan, Georgia Adjutant General, Major General George J. Hearn, told members of the 406th that he was highly pleased with the experimental program and promised a return visit next year if possible. The experiment was an overwhelming success! The 406th Ordnance Company is one of two Georgia National Guard units in the Selected Reserve Force (SRF), a super ready group of units throughout the nation that are fully trained and equipped for rapid callup in case of national emergenc y . Two new pieces of equipment will be added to its training aides inventory in the near future: two M- 48 ta nks fo r the unit's maintenance , weapons and ins trument sections to train upon. MAY AUG 19 67 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -:-;-::----;:----------THE GEORGIA GUARDSMAN COLONEL RALPH C. SHEA CHAPLAIN RALPH C. SHEA TO RETIRE IN NOVEMBER AFTER 35 YEARS SERVICE This November a familiar face to the Georgia Army National Guard will be missing. The face is that of Chaplai n Ralph C. Sh ea, who will re tire after 35 years of military service. Shea, the senior National Guard chaplain for Georgia, started his military career in 1929, with the Civilian-Military Training Camp. He was commissioned as an artillery officer later, but soon left the military to follow the ministry. Five years la ter, in 1937, he was again a military man; this time as an ordained Methodist minister and an Arm y chaplain. Chaplain Shea was called from reserve to ac tive duty in 1939 as the war in E uro pe began. When the U. S. en tered the war, so did the Chapl a in. He shipped out with a combat engineering group and later landed at Normandy on D-Day plus three. For the next ten months death and destruction were a common sight and gunfire and s h ell bursts were everyday sounds. He and his flock of rugged combat engineers earned five battle s tars and had more tha n their share of close s haves. His unit outlasted many Infantry divisions in front line tenure. MAY - A UG 1967 After living under the gun for a while, a man develops a sort of sixth sense about danger , and cornbat chaplains are no exception. During the Normandy campaign , Chaplain Shea and a group of soldiers were s tanding on a road near German-held Cherbourg, France. He s uddenly realized that the men were bunched too closely together and suggested that they disperse. Seconds later German 88's peppe red the area with deadly fire. But that sixth sense wasn' t always with Chaplain Shea. Another time his unit was digging in near a clearing, but he decided that the danger from enemy shelling was negligible. A few minutes later German artillery began falling nearby , and as others dove for their holes, Chaplain Shea began to dig with a religious fervor. Soon the shelling stopped and so did the Chaplain. Deciding that the danger was now over, he began talking with the men. The 88's began coming in again, and the Chaplain's excavation started once more with renewed energy. A third time the cycle was repeated; talking, explosions , and digging . Many soldiers claimed to have heard the Chaplain vow to dig all the way to China. "After that," says Shea, SSG Zimmerman Appointed Warrant By 179th Advisor SSG John F. Zimmerman has been sworn into the U. S. Army as a Warrant Officer by LTC C. 0 . Bell , Unit Advisor , 1st Bn , 179 th Artillery. Prior to accepting his appoin tm ent as a warrant officer , Mr . Zimme rman was the AST for Btry C, lst Bn , 179th Artillery. He received his appointment as warrant officer in the U. S. Army under Title 10 , U. S. Code , Sec tion 597( b) effective 11 August 1967 . WO Zi mm erman was the only former Army National Guard enlisted man in a class of 200 in the WO Orientation Cour se at Ft Sill, Okla., 14 August - 1 September 1967 . Prior to joining the Ga ARNG in February 1964, WO Zimmerman served three years in the regular Army. After a ttending a nine week Quartermaster School at Fort Lee, Virginia, WO Zimm erman will b e assigned to F t Benning, Georgia. "I always dug the biggest, deepest, and best hole in France." After the war was over, Chaplain Shea returned to his civilian ministry, but the military now had a permanent place in his heart. He soon joined a reserve unit, and in 195 1, he b egan hi s career with the Georgia National Guard. He is now the senior Chaplain in the Georgia Guard. For years now, Shea's friendl y face has been a welcome sight to many thousands of Georgia Guardsmen both at drills and s umm er camp. Now nearing sixty years of age, Chaplain Shea is s till a bundle of energy; constantly on the move ministering to th e sick and troubled. No Guardsman's troubles have ever been too small, or the hour too late for the kindly man from Forest Park to listen. Though retired from the Guard, he will still occupy his usual place in the pulpit of the Jones Memorial First Methodist Church in Forest Park. No Guardsma n who has ever met him will ever forget that chaplain with the shock of white hair and the ever-present s mile. 3 THE GEORGIA GUARDSMAN - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - -- COL JAMES E.

These men, primarily administrative personnel, were invol ved in "on-the-job" assign ments similar to those experienced by their regular Air Force counterparts . The remaining 110 officers and airmen, nucleus of the unit's communication and communications support sections departed from Glynco Naval Air Station on 12 August 1967 for Otis Air Force Base, Massachusetts to partlcl" pate in "Operation Sentry Post I" an all Ai r National Guard exercise covering 7 states.

Army dropped the II general .orders and substituted the follow10g three: No. 1 -- ''I will guard everything withi n the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved. " No. 2 -- "I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner." No. 3 -- "I will report violations of my special orders , emergencies , and anything not covered in my instructions, to the commander of the reli ef." The three simplified orders will be supplemented on each post by a set of realistic , detailed, and mission-oriented special orders, established by the commanding officer. These additional orders are tailored for the specific post and situation from the viewpoint of security and sentry effectiveness and protection. The revised general orders are part of a new concept of Army-wide guard duty , both on-post (interior) and off-post (exterior), as stated in DA Field Manual 226. The new manual, called "Guard Duty," replaces FM26-5 , called "Interior Guard Duty."

Although it is not a certainty at press time that the division is no more, it appeared at the July encampment this surely would be the final massed training as a division. You would not have known it, however, from the mighty effort that went into the maneuvers. After the dust had settled on 30 Jul y, the division had amassed a record 68 Superior and 27 Excellent ralings by Regular Army and reserve component evaluators. It was as though the thousands of Guardsmen involved knew that, no matter what might lie ahead for their unit, their training would be invaluable to their country. At the h elm of the 48 th for the first few days of the encampment was Major General Benjamin F. Merritt who has directed its course for the past 6 years. Illness , however, prevented General Merritt from assuming his full responsibility, and Brigadier General Charles L. Qavis, Assistant Divi- sion Commander, took over the reins of the division , assist ed by Brig. Gen. Roy W. Hogan. With th e usual flurry of acti vity, field and cantonment training proceeded under the close supervi sion of division, brigade and battalion staffs. Firing ranges were operating early th e first Monday morning and crews were qualified in firing the ir M48 tanks , self-propelled a nd towed howitzers and other armored equipm ent.

MAY - AUG 1967 --------------------------------------~~------------------------- THE GEORGIA GUARDSMAN " Honest John" Launched 28 May As 214th Artymen Fire First Missile Elberton' s Georgia National Guard artillery battalion witnessed the firing of an "Honest John" surface-to- s urface missile May 28 at Fort Benning wh ere the Guardsmen were flown for their first demonstration of the 18-mile trajectory rocket. This was the first occasion in which the Georgia National Guard has participated in the launching of an "Honest John" missile, which is capable of delivering an atomic warhead. Lieutenant Colonel John E. McGowan, Commander of Elberton's 1st Bn, 214th Artillery (Honest John) , took 115 men of his battalion to Augusta wh ere they boarded two Georgia ANG Transport planes for the flig ht to Fort Benning's Lawson Field. The Guardsmen were taken to Fournier Range early Sunday for a four -hour 1ecture and demonstration of the missile before it was fired by Col. McGowan under the supervision of the Army's 2d Bn , lOth Artillery at Fort Benning.
