THE ADJUTANT 
GENERAL'S MESSAGE 
 
MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE J. HEARN 
 
My Fellow Guardsmen: 
 
As our summer training periods draw to a close, I am rece1vmg 
 
outstanding reports of your progress and operational capabilities. 
It is clearly evident that our Army and Air Guardsmen performed 
 
with distinction, and I want to take this opportunity to commend 
 
each of you for your unswerving devotion to duty this summer. 
 
As many of you know, one of the most pressing problems facing 
 
the Guard at the present time is the retention of our experienced 
 
Guardsmen after expiration of minimum terms of service. Induce- 
 
ments to stay in our ronks hove included retirement benefits, pro- 
 
motion, career opportunities and extra income. 
 
At the lost meeting of the Adjutants General Association of the 
 
United States we discussed the necessity for on additional induce- 
 
ment - a re-up bonus. This could become a reality in a year or so. 
 
Therefore, I strongly urge that commanders and senior non-coms 
 
include this distinct possibility in discussions with men planning 
 
to leave the Guard. Just when our young Guardsmen reach a point 
 
of perfecting their skills we ore always reluctant to hove them 
 
leave our ronks. Continuous efforts to secure re-enlistments is 
 
essential if the Guard is to maintoin its dominant role among the 
 
notion's reserve forces. 
 
 
 
I om happy to see another group of young officers join our ronks 
 
through the medium of the Georgia Military Institute. This excellent 
 
officer candidate school has provided our Army components with 
316 highly qualified leaders in the post nine years, and we heartily 
 
welcome the 22 new second lieutenants into the officer corps.

Georgia is 12th 
In 1-yr Re-ups 
The "Try One" program lives on. 
Phase I of the enlistment procedure allowing former servicemen and Guardsmen (with no remaining military obligation) to re-up for one year ended 30 June. Modest success was registered during Phase I, according to a report in The National Guardsman magazine. Georgia ranked 12th in the nation with a cumulative total of 224 extentions and enlistments through May for the "ARNG . 
The progra'Y will continue in an effort to bring trained servicemen into both Army and Air Guard components. Purpose is to save basic training tax dollars and to preserve a high degree of operational capability. 
 
Meanwhile the National Guard Bureau forwarded to all states a supply of retention folders entitled "Why should you stay in?" 
The folders, separate ones for Army and Air, show the many hats a Guardsman wears while serving his country. Pointed out in the copy are the advantages of membership: added income, retirement pay, career opportunities and comradship of fellow Guardsmen.

Echo of 6,000 Ga. Guardsmen 
Resounds at FT. Stewart 14-28 June 
 
Some 6,000 Georgia Army National Guardsmen traded civilian jobs for milit<Jry duty for two weeks (June 14-28) as their units underwent annual training at Fort Stewart. 
Representing 46 Georgia communities , the Guardsmen arrived at Fort Stewart via motor convoy and immediately begain to prepare for military operations late Sunday afternoon. The y were to function ~s such for two we.eks. 
Some of the units lived in the fie ld in bivouac areas for four days and nights either the first or second week, to get more realism in their combat training. 
The men faced the fur y of the elements while continuing to train, sometimes long into the night under the most adverse conditions . 
Some of the men were c hos en to play memb ers of the Aggressor National Army. Their primary duty was to strike without warning, day and night, in lightning commandofype raids, solely to test the alertness of the encamped Guardsmen and to test the effectiveness of their sec urity measures.

Of course, only bla nk ammunition was used, and a truck could be blown up, but only on paper a note marked "TNT" or "Grenade" attached to engine block would do it. 
While not engaged in tactical combat training, the units performed many types of duties : MP's manned guard houses and directed traffic; maintenance men worked on various vehicles and equipment; medical units patched up numerous cuts and scratches . 
Armor crewmen fired their subcaliber weapons, and artillerymen sent their practice projectiles miles downrange to targets as the men became more and more proficient with their weapons systems -mortars , tanks, armored personnel earners , HJ6 recoiless rifles, 155mm self-propelled howitzers and other systems. 
Administrative-type units took care of all the paperwork. They wrote , typed and distributed orders anci messag es . From these offices came the flow of information and instructions which insured that training was carried out to the letter . 
 
Covering all of the units was the Georgia Emergency Operation Headquarters Public Information Office which k-ept a steady fl ow of photographs and news releases going to hometown news media so that the citizens would have some idea of what their Guardsmen were doing at s ummer camp . 
After a stay in the field, men welcomed the chance to do some more civilized living, in barracks with s howers nearby . Within wal king distance were theaters, recreation rooms and PX's - all with a ir conditioning . 
During the middle week-end, those men without s pecific duties were free to leave the post for Savannah's sights and s ounds, or for any other destination within a 50-mile radius . 
So pass ed the two weeks. Three separate commands were represente d : The 3rd Brigad e, 30th Infantry Division ; the 118th Artille ry Group and the Georgia Eme r gency Operation Headquarte rs. T he first two commands are the combat arms (armor, infantry and artil l ery) . Their support units, includ ing medical, s ignal, maintenance,

Besides training at the platoon level, the units underwent cross training , such as infantry-armor attack training. On another day, the armor may have predominated the exercise. 
Prominent military visitors to 
 
Fort Stewart during the Guard's stay were Major General George J. Hearn, adjutant general of the State of Georgia (representing ailing Governor Lester Maddox at the annual parade) and Major General John M. Finn, deputy commander, Third U.S. Army.

Stemming a tide of lawlessne ss that swept with violent fury over a 130-blo ck area of Augusta, mor e than 2,000 Georgia Army National Guardsmen responded to a call to State Active Duty 11-18 May 1n the first commitment of troops to a Georgia city for actual riot prevention since before World War II. 
Acting in response from the Mayor of Augu ta, Governor Lester G. Maddox- directed Major General George J . Hearn to furnish National Guardsmen for the protection of the beleaguered city. The Adjutant Ge n eral then imp! em en ted plan s alre ady called for under Spread Eagle II procedures for the protection of Augusta. Task Force Southeast, under the command of Colonel John E. McGowan , got the call at 2100 hour s 11 May and was immediately dispatched to the scene, 
Utilizing three Cl24 Globemaster transports of the 165th Military Airlift Group , the entire 2nd Battalion, 214th Artillery with Colon el McGowan's s taff of Hq Btry, 118th Artillery Group, plus 
 
th e !65th Hv Eq Mt Co, were ai r! ifted from Savannah to Bush F ield outside Augusta in the early morning hours. Already on the scene was Lt Col Billy Britton's 878th Engineer Battalion and the 1148th Trans Co, which mustered more than 130 Guardsmen onto the streets to assist the overtaxed police and state troopers at 0030 hours 12 May. Moving into Augusta by convoy were batteries of the 1st Bn , 214th Artillery, from Sparta , Thomson, Waynesboro and Washington. 
Four "Pepper Foggers" were flown into Augusta from Atl anta in a U6 "Beaver" of the 151 st Av Bn. The c h emic a l spray devices were airlifted by Lt Col Jack L. Conrad a nd Capt Hugh Estes. They arrived at the Augusta airport at approxim ate ly one a. m. on the 12th. 
In a rapid sequence of events, General Hearn directed Brig Gen Andrew W. McKenna, Commanding General of Georgia Emergency Operation Headquarters in Deca- 
 
tur, to Augusta to assume command of the growing battalions of Guardsmen being rus hed to the city- 
Focal point for the rapidly esc a! aci ng operation was the 878 th Engr Bn armory. Calling in key staff officers, including dep uty commander Colonel Ed Slaton and Chief of Staff Colonel Ben L. Kersey , General McKenna quickl y assumed control over the Guardsmen, set up a communications net wi th State Headquarters in Atlanta and arranged for Guard shifts and relief of troops , some of whom did not s l eep for two ni ght s . 
Setting up roving jeep patrol s with Augusta policemen riding shotgun , senior commanders a! so established s tationary check points at key intersections along busy hi ghway 12 southwest of th e city.

Marietta. In the aftermath of the violence, 
six civil ians caught in the bedlam were dead, all believed to be looters or arsonists. Many others were wounded or otherwise injured. Hundreds were arrested. Some terrorists were caught by the Guardsmen at roadblocks after impo sition of curfew with Molotov Cocktails and other homemade bombs in their possession. 
By 07 45 12 May, 989 Guardsmen were on duty in and around Augusta. AI so on hand at that time were the armored personnel earners flown in from Atlanta, 600 air mattresses and extra stores of ammunition. Ten additional 2~-ton trucks were obtained from Ft. Gordon. A detachment of 18 men from Atlanta's 138th Medical Company were dispatched to the scene with 5 ambulances. 
Later in the first day of oper;:ttions, Lt Col James E. Preston's 176th MP Battalion was called to Augusta. Fifteen additional radioequipped jeeps from Atlanta were sent 10 for command control. 
 
Twenty walkie-talkie radios were rushed in, plus two jeep-mounted infra-red search lights for night operations. 
A quick tour of riot-torn Augusta was conducted by Governor Maddox and General Hearn the afternoon of 12 May. Later in the afternoon it was determined that additional troops would be needed for relief of the Guardsmen who had been on duty almost 24 hours without rest. L t Col Joe Genone' s 1st Bn, 121st lnf was mobilized with the Perry and Eastman companies , boosting the task force by another 600 men. 
At midnight 12- 13 May 1505 troops were on duty . With curfew imposed all was quiet in the critical area being patrolled by the Guardsmen. 
At 0950 hours i3 May, strength peaked at 2,004 troops. Shortly thereafter , the 176th MP Bn , with 202 men was directed to Athen s to cope with student and other dissenters at the University of Georgia. Moving swiftly by convoy, the 176th set up operation s 
 
outside the City of Athens and deployed indi vidual Guardsmen to ride with Athens police patrols. Later the Guard assisted local Jaw enforcement personnel in arresting some of the student protestors who were blockin g traffic. 
Called to duty for one day to assist the 176th in Athens was Hq & Hq Btry, 1st Bn, 214th Arty, which was not mobilized for duty in Augusta. 
On Thursday, 14 May , approximately half of the 878th Engr Battalion was rel eased from Augusta duty. Also half of the 1148th was told to return home. By the end of the day the 1st Bn, 214th Artillery and the 165 th Hv Eq Mt Co were rei eased in their entirety - for a combined total of 500 men. 
Some 1500 Guardsmen remained on duty in the Augusta area over the weekend. When quiet prevai led in Athens, the 176th was rei eased on the 17th, and all units in Augusta were returned to their hometown s on May 18th as risk of furth er violence subsided.

The following was written by the wife of SSG Shelton G. Riner of Sandersville's Co C, 878th Engr Bn, in the aftermath of the call up of Guardsmen for Augusta riot duty in May. Mrs. Riner wrote the piece for her scrapbook- but was encouraged to have it published in the Sandersville Progress. It was. It tells in vivid form the story that could hav e been written concerning hundreds of other National Guard families. The Riners have presented their "side of the coin" for posterity. 
 
troubled sleep while he was away. Sleep still comes slowly to him and you sense that he needs to talk about it. He needs to tell you that he doesn't want to go again, but that he is on alert for the weekend. You listen as he tells you of the nights when as you were sleeping safely at home , a sniper was firing at him and his men, a 
 
The silence of the night is 
 
broken by the scream of the tele- 
 
phone 
 
. sleep flees with a 
 
tremor of fear . . . then you hear 
 
him say, "Yes , I'm leaving now" 
 
. . . and you know that the Guard 
 
has been called out again. A 
 
feeling of dread grips your heart 
 
and that eternal prayer leaps to 
 
your lips, "Lord, keep him safe 
 
and bring him back safely." 
 
Today, on the brink of what 
 
has been called the "Riot Season" 
 
when so much is being said about 
 
the cruel and inhumane treatment 
 
by police and guardsman, let the 
 
wife of a guardsman tell our side 
 
of the story. Let me tell you what 
 
it is like to know that your hus- 
 
band is leaving you, there's no 
 
chance for planning or reschedul- 
 
ing of plans long made , clothes 
 
are to be packed - for how many 
 
days you don ' t know, instructions 
 
are given for cancelling dental 
 
appointments, fishing trips, re- 
 
newing the automobile insurance, 
 
all the while each of you being 
 
careful not to say what is in your 
 
hearts . . . be careful, darling, 
 
with words which normally would give rise to him striking out, but now he will stand mutely as a guardsman. When he returns home he will show you the dents in his helmet caused from bricks tossed at him as he stood guard before a burned out store and tell you with a lump in his throat of how he "took it" without a word. 
. .. "When he returns home " ... you always know there is the chance that he won't . . . maybe that sniper on the rooftop will find his target tonight ... maybe when he searches that car at the barricade, he 'll have acid thrown in his face or catch the bullet from a concealed gun or spill his blood from the plunge of a switchblade. 
Then, if you're lucky, he's home . Unshaven, unwashed, and bone tired. If he was lucky , he got a few hours of restless and 
 
car ran a blockade after striking a guardsman, stores were burning and being looted, he was being cursed and spat on by children and adults as they threw rocks and sticks at him. 
Guardsman stand to protect this state and they know the chances they will have to take when they join the National Guard, but in taking those chances and in protecting their homes they deserve the praise due them. They are not inhumane, cruel, or hard they're just brave, strong men who are doing their duty at home and who although they don't like it, continue to answer that phone in the middle of the night and go to do that which must be done. Read, then, both sides of the coin before screaming "Guard brutality." 
Mrs. Shelton Riner 
 
come back to me safely and soon, don't worry about the children, I'll miss you and pray for you . . . 
 
Then he's gone .. . . . . Gone . . . . not to fight 
a foreign enemy to protect the 
 
country that he has already fought one war for, but to stand guard and protect the rights of his fellow ctuzens of Georgia from the rioting and violence of other fellow 
 
ctuzens of Georgia . Passively protect , though. You know that he 
 
will silently stand guard to prevent 
 
looting, he will enforce barricades and curfews, he will stand as children and adults assault him

Ft. Gordon Hears Boom Of Guard's Howitzers 
Ft. Gordon resounded with rhe booming of big guns in April for the fir st time since 1963. Battery A, 1st Battalion, 214th Artillery, parta, used one of the ranges to fire their new 155mm se lf-propelled howitzers for familiarization. 
Formerly a towed 105mm battery, the unit made the change to the bigger self-propelled weapons late last year. "The c ha nge from 105's to 155's is a big one to make, and we wanted to be sure that everybody had a chance to fire them before s ummer training ,'' Capt. James M. Boyer, the battery's commanding officer said. 
"After the initial shock at the amount of noise these guns make , they are pretty easy to work with," Corporal Peter Reddick added. 
As if in proof of the corporal's word s, the battery almost demolished the tanks that were being used as targets . 
The battalion's other units, Battery B from Thompson, C from Waynesboro , Headquarters from Elberton, and Service from Washington, used the Ft. Gordon ranges this Spring.
