My Fellow Guardsmen: 
The Secretary of Defense has called on Georgia's Third B rigade to participate, along with 18 other states , in a special Mobilization R eadiness T est to be conducted ove r the next IS months. 
This requires additional sac ri fi ces by our Guardsmen and their fam ilies . 
Our men are accepting this additional challenge with a commendable attitude and "Gung Ho" s pirit. Morale has been high, even though they have been making frequ ent weekend trips to Fart Stewart. 
l would like to expres my appreciation and pride for the professional manner in which eac h Guardsman of the Third Brigade has accepted this new responsibility. They are making an exce ptionally demanding sacrifice worthy of the admiration of all their fellow Guardsmen.

The coveted Airman's Medal was presented to Sergeant C<trl 0 . Akins of Savannah's 165th Support Squadron for his heroism and quick action during a refueling operation last year. The presentation was made on 9 January 1972 by Colonel William F . Summerell, then Commander of the 165th Military Airlift Group , Ga ANG . 
On 14 January 1971, Sgt. Akins and a fuels technician were attempting to fill a refueling unit with aviation fuel. Because of a malfunction, a spark was created when the fill nozzle was inserted in the truck' s manhole. Fumes in the tank ignited, sending flames through the manhole. Sgt. Akins warned his companion, laid down the spout and replaced the manhole cover which extinguished the 
 
flames. Meanwhile, fuel from the fill 
spout had ignited. Sgt. Akins covered the spout with his hand and snuffed our the flames. 
The Airman's Medal is awarded for heroism that involves the voluntary risk of life under conditions other than those of conflict with an opposing armed force and it ranks above the Bronze Star Medal. 
Sgt. Akins has been a Georgia Guardsman since 28 February 1966 and he is the firs t member 
ot' the 165th MAG to receiv e a n 
Air Force decoration since the unit was organized in 1946. 
He resides ;,ith his wife , Linda, and son , Carl Jr. , at Route 5, Statesboro. His parents are Mr . and Mrs. John L. Akins also of Statesboro.

3rd Bde Readiness To Be 
Tested Next 18 Months 
More than 3,500 Georgia Army National Gua rd sme n are being called on for s pecial duty as part of an ISstate Test and Evaluation Program. 
Major General Joel B. Paris III , .Adjutant General of Georgia, said "the program will test a new concept of Reserve Components' Mobi lization Readiness." 
The readiness tests will require Guardsmen to spend additional time away from their employment and families. Governor Jimmy Carter has requested the cooperation of all State Department heads , and other employers of these Guardsmen, in releasing Georgia's citizen-soldiers from work to go to Fort St ewart where the exercises will be conducted periodically during the next 18 months . 
Guardsmen involved are members of the T hird Brigade, 30th Infantry Divi s ion, commanded by Colone l James E. Preston, Jr. of Macon. 
While key offic ers and enlisted men have been on extra duty for several weeks, the firs t massive test involving a ll 3.500 Guardsmen of the Brigade takes place at Fort Stewart 7-9 April 1972 . 
" T he purpose of the program," Ge neral Paris said, "is to increase the value and readine ss of the Army National Guard by testing ways to reduce Reserve Component Post-mobilization training and deployment time .'' 
Seventeen other s tates will be tes ting this concept and two others: 
(1) Use of Reserve Component Units to round out Active Army Divi s ions and (2) us e of Reserve Component Units to a ugment Active Army Divisions .

 guard's defense role increa~es 
Reserve Forces Must Be 
 
Combat Ready 
 
Laird 
 
(Condensed from AF Times) 
The Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve will be beefed up substantially and play a much more important role in the nation's overall Defense picture, according to Defense Secretary Melvin Laird in a recent Air Force Times article. He also declared that Reserve Forces units of all the services will become truly combat-ready. 
Laird said that he has a series of new personnel benefits lined up to attract people to the Reserve Forces, but added that he would "phase them in" only as needed. 
Military pay received considerable attention as Laird elaborated on the many pay raises in recent years. When the next pay raise gees in to effect, basic military pay will have been raised 125 per cent since FY-1964, he said. 
Personnel strength in all Reserve Forces has slumped recently, but Laird hopes recent pay raises and intensified recruitment will reverse the trend. If not, the Defense Department head said he will ask Congress this spring for authority to give reserves enlistment bonuses. If the bonus does not attract sufficient manpower, he may ask Congress to give Reservists the Servicemen's Group Life Insurance that active duty members enjoy. 
Laird said that DOD may endorse proposals to improve Guard and Reserve retirement programs. One plan would allow retirement at age 55, rather than the current age 60, for Reservists with 25 years creditable service. 
Another step Laird is considering would let members with at least 20 years of Reserve service elect, at age 50, a lump sum payment or a reduced annuity. But, according to the AF Times article, there was no indication the Secretary plans action on these retirement changes this year. 
Laird noted that Defense officials for years have talJ.<:ed about "achieving a true combat-ready status" for the Reserve Forces, but they have only "scratched the surface" in using the Guard and Reserves in strategy planning. 
The new FY-1973 Defense budget boosts Guard and Reserve funding by 600 million dollars, and during that year the two components will receive more equipment than in any single year in our history, Laird stated.

Incentive and 
Morale Flights 
Take Guardsmen It 
El Paso and Vegas 
A program to airlift Army and Air Guard personnel on ANG training flights has recently been instituted'. These incentive and morale'' flights are set up to encourage Guardsmen to re-enlist in the National Guard and to generate an increased feeling of pride in belonging to the Guard. 
Destinati9ns of flights are selected on the basis of passenger appeal, seasonal interest, resort attractions, and within the limits of a maximum 12-hour flight radius. 
Each of Georgia's two military airlift groups will schedule one incentive-training flight per quar ter. 
The first flight left Dobbins AFB, Marietta, ~n 10 March with 14 passengers aboard. The flight was bound for El Paso, Texas. The C-124 aircraft also made an intermediate stop in Savannah to pick up additional passengers. The flight returned the following Sun day. 
According to Maj. Mike Chapman, Recruiting and Retention Officer, GaARNG, the first flight was ve~y successful considering the short notice given on the announcement of the flight. 
In the planning stage now are flights to Las Vegas, Nevada on 21 April and 25' June. With the interest generated by the first flight, these two upcoming excursions may prove to be a "stand ing room only" situation.
