TIFTON ARMORY CITED FOR BEAUTY-- In front of the National Guard Armory in Tifton is a sign that denotes it as the "Beauty Spot of the Month" in Tifton. Selected by the Magnolia Garden Club of Tifton, the Armory was c ite d for its landscaping and "well-manicured" yard. The armory, is headquarters for Company C (-) of the 2nd Battalio n 121st Infantry . In a letter to Capt. William D. Myers, Commander of Company C, Gen. Paris said "This award. proves to me that any armory can be a 'Beauty Spot' if enough effort is put forth. You have not only enhanced you r unit's image in the community, but also that of the entire Georgi a National Guard. "

My Fellow Guardsmen:
There ~ an energy crisis! The extent to which it will eventually affect our daily lives is yet to be seen, but we are already feeling its first blows. We have been asked to reduce our automobile speed, cutback our thermostats in homes and offices and to be frugal with electrical energy. These things, however, are not as drastic as measures that may have to be taken later if we don't begin to be energy conscious now.
Even though oLr Nation's military services use less than four per cent of our energy production, the Secretary of Defense has asked for a seven per cent reduction in energy consumption, which also affects the National Guard. We must monitor our activities as never before in an attempt to curb energy wastefulness, especially in the area of vehicle and aircraft fuel. We can not, however, sacrifice our readiness and training. We must reduce energy usage in all other areas and still maintain the high degree of readiness expected of us.
I am asking each one of you to do your part in alleviating this criticial situation. I ask each of you also to help me and your commanders by reporting to your supervisor the misuse of fuels or electricity. A single light left burning or vehicles idling needlessly can odd up to substantial energy waste.
The President and the Governor have made personal pleas to us to do our part, no matter how small it may seem, to see that our Nation can overcome this crisis and be self-sufficient in energy.

Reduce thermostats six degrees below last winter for homes, ten degrees for businesses and offices and reduce fuel oil consumpti.Jn in homes by 15% over last winter and by 25 per cent in businesses and off.ices. These are some of the proposals made by the President in November to help alleviate some of the pain of our energy shortage.
Speaking to the American people on nationwide television and radio, Mr. Nixon also called for reduced speeds on U.S. highways and proposed this to Congress along with other measures for enactment into law.
In other economy measures, the President asked service stations to close on Saturday night at 9 p.m. and remain closed until 12:01 a.m. Monday. He also asked that the use of decorative lighting be banned on homes and businesses.
As of the publication of this magazine, steps to ration gasoline were still under consideration by Congress. Several alternatives were offered for
Actions by the DoD
In July, the President issued a directive requiring the Department of Defense to achieve a seven per cent energy savings in 1974 over fiscal year 1973. In general, all services have had longstanding energy conservation programs that are now receiving added emphasis. Some of the actions taken by the DOD and the services to achieve energy conservation are to:
--Help develop new methods for meeting DOD energy requirements.
--Improve efficient fuel usage through more efficient equipment and improving equipment on hand.

gasoline rationing, one being the imposition of a heavy tax or a combination of rationed gas up to ten gallons with the option to buy more with an added tax.
In contrast to the cutbacks, electric generating plants, once forbidden to switch from oil to coal are urged to make the change now where possible. In addition, refineries are asked to adjust production to reduce gasoline output and increase fuel oil, the the energy commodity which poses the greatest problems with the onset of winter.
To increase the U.S.' future supplies of oil, hearings by the Government were opened in New Orleans on the environmental impact of additional offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Leases on over 800,000 acres were offered for sale in December with possible exploration beginning by March. In Coloradv, Wyoming, and Utah, six tracts of land containing oil-bearing shale will be offered for sale in January. The area is believed to contain more than 600 billion barrels of oil locked in hard rock. Production is not expected before 1978.
--Limit operational transits to most economical speeds .
--Improve insulation in buildings. --Limit speeds of automobiles to 50 mph In early December, the DOD directed a 20-25 per cent reduction in the planned consumption of fuel by the Army and Air National Guard. A phrase from a fact sheet published by the OASD-Public Affairs, sums up the energy conservation goals of the United States Department of Defense: ". . . The major challenge to DOD will be to carry out our share of the national fuel conservation tasks without impairing the combat readiness of the various operational commands. 11

"It is directed that immediate actions be taken by commanders and supervisors to reduce the consumption of fuels in an across-the-board manner. .. " This was one of the first energy conservation orders issued b.y Maj. Gen. Paris, The Adjutant General, to the Georgia Army and Air National Guard.
"To the extent possible," Gen. Paris declared, "these reductions will be made without significant changes or effect on essential training and unit

readiness. Commanders and supervisors must be
alert and forceful in making reductions in fuel consumption while also establishing priorities for the most effective use of fuels that are available."
In his letter to Guard commanders and supervisors, Gen. Paris pointed out that the Army Division of the Guard Bureau had allocated specific quantities of fuel for use during the remainder of FY74 and the Air Division had also stated similar guidance for the Air units.

30th infantry div. split up
Third Brigade Is Now 48th

The Georgia Army National Guard has once again undergone another major re-organization. The change this time comes in the form of a new separate brigade completely divorced from North Carolina's 30th Infantry Division.
Early in October, the National Guard Bureau approved Governor Jimmy Carter's request for a separate brigade . Then on Tuesday, October 30, Gov. Carter and Maj. Gen. Joel B. Paris , III, The Adjutant Ge!leral, announced they had accepted the Bureau's allocation of units for Georgia.
On December 1st, the date of reorganization, the 48th Infantry Brigade (mechanized) wa s formed from existing elements of Georgia's 3rd Brigade, 30th Mechanized lnfan~ry Division, and other elements within Georgia's present troop
allocation. The reorganization means a net increase of
278 additional Guardsmen, including 44 officer
spaces. General Paris said the new brigade is
authorized more modern equipment because it now has a higher priority for readiness than the
one it replaces. In forming the new brigade, changes were
made in units in several Georgia cities . Macon retains its present brigade head-
quarters in the shuffle and increases its authorized personnel to 480 officers and men, a gain of 49. The 182nd MP Company in Macon became excess and its personnel were absorbed by a medical company, Co. B, I 48th Support Battalion and an expanded brigade headquarters.
F orsyth s I 76th MP Battalion headquarters 1s now Headquarters and Headquarters Detach-

ment of the !48th Support Battalion, 48th Infantry Brigade (mechanized) and the 179th MP Company became part of a supply and transportation company (Co. C) of the !48th.
Lavonia and Toccoa have been consolidated to form the battalion maintenance company (Co.
D). Hartwell, which was formerly part of an engineer unit, is part of the supply and transportation company headquartered in Forsyth.
In southeast Georgia, Jesup and Douglas will share a unit called the 848th Engineer
Griffin and Newnan, which share components of the 196th Cavalry, merely made a change in unit designation. These units are now Troop E, 348th Cavalry.
The !Dajor tacticaJ components of the brigade; 1st Battalion 108th Armor, 1st Battalion !21st Infantry, 2nd Battalion l2lst Infantry, and 1st Battalion 230th Artillery; remain unchanged.
Some units not in the new 48th Brigade were als o affected by the reorganization.
Lyons , which formerly shared an engineer company with Sandersville, now has a full engineer company, Co. C, 878th Engineers. Sandersville, Louisville and Augusta are now Co. B(-), Det. 1 Co. B, and Det. 2 Co. B respectively, of the 878th Engineer Battalion.
Headquarters, Co. A 878th Engineers in Swainsboro now shares its unit with Glennville, and Hinesville has the complete unit of the I 64th Heayy Equipment Maintenance Company.
Monroe's ! 78th MP Company has undergo!Je a slight change in the reorganization. The MP's there have left their designation, MP Co. (Guard), for one of a higher priority MP unit.

ENGINEERS GO TO COLLEGE

For neady a year , "BMOC" at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in south Georgia has stood for "Big Machines On Campus".
Engineer units of the Georgia Army National Guard spent ten we ekends helping the college's (and development program for new physical education, athletic, and recreation facilities.
Guardsmen from Co. B, Det. 1, 878th Engineers, Douglas; Co. D, Det. 1, 560th Engineers , Thomasville; and Co. A, Det. 1, 560th Engineers, Dawson using their huge earthmoving equipment, stockpiled more than 15 ,000 cubic yards of topsoil and distributed more tha n 100,000 cubic yards of subsoil.
According to ABAC Phys ical Education Dept. Head , Dr. Fred Reuter, the campus development bas been stepped up remarkably with the services of the National Guard. The hardworking engineers have built a foundation for the new 12-unit tennis center and have leYeled a three-acre tract of land for the new intercollegiate baseball complex.
Guardsmen a nd their machines also placed topsoil on the intramural playing fields and recently completed preparation on grounds for a new intercollegiate sport , 'Tractor Pulling".

NGAUS CONFERENCE PLACES EMPHASIS ON PEOPLE AND TROOP STRENGTH

extensive resolutions adopted

mcmillan speaks out on guard cuts

WASHINGTON, D.C. (NGAUS) -- A significant number of "people" resolutions were adopted by the National Guard Association of the United States during its 95th General Conference held in Oklahoma City last month.
As a reaction to the growing recruiting and retention problem facing the Army and Air National Guard and an effort to correct some of the inequities between the active and reserve components, the resolutions attempt to place the individual Guardsman in a more attractive environment.
Some of the major resolutions adopted by the delegates were:
* Continue support for the now-pending full-
time Servicemen's Group Life Insurance for Guardsmen.
* Enlistment and re-enlistment bonuses for
the Guard. Recommend legislation to Congress that will grant benefits of the G.I. Bill of Rights to Guardsmen on a graduated scale.
* Improved retirement benefits for Guardsmen. * Support for an incentive package that will
provide death, medical and dental benefits, an earlier retirement age, and other proVISions.
* Continued support for 100% retirement credit
for technicians.
* Unlimited PX/BX and Commissary pri-
vileges for Guardsmen. Shorter enlistments for non-prior service enlistees. Two resolutions dealt directly with the Air Guard. One called for Association opposition to the ANG/USAFR merger study being proposed by the Congress. The other called for continued modernization of Air National Guard flying units.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (NGAUS) -- Major General Henry W. McMillan, President of the National Guard Association of the United States recently took a strong stand against any reductions in the size of the National Guard or other Reserve Components.
Warning that such cuts are under consideration in the Pentagon, General McMillan said that any further reductions in America's military strength would represent ''wishful thinking and foolhardiness rather than a reasoned assessment of our national security needs."
The Guard is convinced, he said, "that reductions at this point will subject the nation to greater risks than informed thoughtful men would be willing to accept."
He pointed out that the Army Guard, largest of the nation's reserve elements, had in recent months reversed its earlier pattern of manpower losses and today is only 3.1 per cent below its prescribed level of 400,000.
''We feel certain that we can maintain those strength levels with a little help from the Federal government in the form of some additional membership," he declared.
He then added that ''we are equally convinced that those strength levels are a military necessity."
"Citing recent indications in Washington that the Department of Defense contemplates reducing the size of the National Guard and other Reserve forces", he said:
"The evidence also makes it clear that the reductions will be induced, to a large extent, by pressures to cut defense spending rather than by military considerations."
