Honorable George Busbee Governor State of Georgia Governor's Office Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Governor Busbee:
I am pleased to submit the Annual Report of the Adjutant General of Georgia for fiscal year 1980 in accordance with the provisions of Title 86-205, Georgia Code Annotated.
All elements of the Department of Defense - Georgia Army and Air National Guard and Civil Defense - continued to make significant contributions to the state of Georgia during the year. These organizations and the men and women who fill their ranks are a credit to this state.
The many programs of the Department of Defense are covered in this report to inform you and the citizens of Georgia of the achievements and activities of this department during the year.

The Adjutant General

FOREWORD
Fiscal Year 1980 was the best year in the history of both the Georgia Army National Guard and the Georgia Air National Guard.
This is particularly significant in view of the deteriorating state of world affairs and the ever-increasing reliance placed on the National Guard by our nation in its overall defense plans. The National Guard must be fully ready now for deployment as a vital and indispensable part of our nation's armed forces.
The Georgia National Guard fully lived up to the spirit of this challenge. All evaluated units of both the Army and Air Guard were rated as combat capable for the second consecutive year. Further, the combat capability of most units improved during the year.
For the third year in a row, the Georgia Army National Guard was rated first in training readiness in First U.S. Army. Additionally, the Georgia Army Guard was rated as runner-up in individual weapons qualification and overall achievement.
The First U.S. Army area includes 20 eastern states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands. Nearly half of the entire National Guard of the nation is within this area.
The Army National Guard Training Center at Fort Stewart, part of the Georgia Army National Guard, supports combat readiness training for units from Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, and Puerto Rico. The Army Guard and Army Reserve units from these states depend on the Center for equipment, logistical support, maintenance support, and training areas. During this year more than 17,000 troops trained there. Since 1974, an average of more than 20,000 Guardsmen and Reservists as well

as active Army troops have used the Center for tough, professional training.
All except two Georgia Air National Guard units received the highest possible combat readiness ratings during this past training year. One unit lacked essential equipment and, therefore, rated just slightly under the top. The other unit underwent a complete change in both mission and equipment which caused them to temporarily drop slightly in their combat capability.
The Air National Guard Field Training Site at Savannah Municipal Airport continued its support of many units of the Active Air Force, Active Army, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard units from several states. Since 1974 an average of 8,000 airmen have trained there each year.
Both the Georgia Air National Guard and the Georgia Army National Guard continued as leaders in the nation with regard to assigned strength. However, we have the charter to maintain fully-manned units. While the Army Guard strength was over 99 percent and the Air Guard strength was over 97 percent at the end of the year, that does not meet our goal. The goal is to have every unit at or over

100 percent with every authorized personnel space filled with a fully qualified Guardsman. This objective is fully attainable with the continuing support of the citizens of Georgia.
The Georgia National Guard will continue, in the proud and historical tradition of the Georgia State Militia, toward its goal of being capable of performing both its state and its feel cral missions at the highest professional level.
Similarly, significant progress was made by Georgia's Civil Defense Division.
The division's several contingency plans were tested and reviewed and determined to be sound and adequate. The Hurricane Plan, for example, was put into effect during Hurricane David and was found to be workable.
A milestone was achieved with the total rewriting of the Georgia Radiological Emergency Response Plan which is a federal requirement. The plan has been submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for approval.
The several plans of Georgia Civil Defense have been held as models which are being used by other states in the development of their planning.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE
The public affairs function of Georgia's Department of Defense came into its own during FY 80 with a number of honors awarded its program and evidence of increasing awareness by the public of the National Guard and Civil Defense's role in the state.
In its first year of publication The Georgia Guardsmen Newspaper, a federallyfunded, semi-monthly publication for Guardsmen, their families, ROTC cadets and interested young Georgians, placed third among U.S. Army newspapers, Active, Reserve or National Guard - about 500 entries - in the Keith L. Ware Journalism competion.
Additionally, The Guardsmen, which is published in approximately 15,000 copies, finished first among newspapers in the First U.S. Army, the largest Army region in the country.
Although its primary function is to inform the 13,000 plus Guardsmen in Georgia, its secondary function is also to tell the story of the Georgia Army and Air National Guard to the fine young men and women who will lead the Guard in the future.
Besides the internal program carried out by the public affairs office, the staff is also charged with getting information to the general public about the department's policies and programs.
Weekly and daily newspapers and the broadcast media in the state used information provided by the office of public affairs on a continuing basis. Additionally, the public affairs office, when possible accomodated the print and broadcast media with live, on-site interviews or other aids which facilitated informing the public.
The Civil Defense Public Affairs Office

organized and conducted the annual statewide tornado awareness week and tornado drill in March 1979. The project is carried out each year at the beginning of tornado season to educate the public in safety and warning procedures for Georgia tornadoes.
This year marked the second statewide tornado drill for Georgia. The drill tested warning systems throughout the state including the entire Georgia Emergency Broadcast System which was activated at a predesignated time and checked from WSB radio in Atlanta to its final termination points in the 11 EBS operational areas.
Data from these tests allowed local Civil Defense organizations to evaluate their own warning and information systems and allowed the State Civil Defense office and the Georgia Association of Broadcasters to check the EBS for flaws.
The same type of program was carried out along the Georgia Coast prior to the start of hurricane season.
The Public Affairs Office continued its support of the Planning Office in the completion of emergency public information packets for the Columbus and Brunswick conglomerates for the Crisis Relocation Plan program.
The Public Affairs Office continued its support of the local Civil Defense Directors with periodic news releases for publication in local newspapers and with the film loan program providing 20 motion pictures for public programs and training sess10ns.
In addition the Public Affairs Office provided pamphlets, and other forms of information about natural or man-made disasters to interested citizens.

"Let's go!" The military mission of the Army and Air Guard is to be ready to go when needed.

MISSION OF THE MILITARY DIVISION
The Military Division is comprised of the Georgia Army National Guard (GaARNG) and the Georgia Air National Guard (GaANG).
As part of the reserve components of the Active Army and Active Air Force, National Guard forces are unique in that they are the only forces in our nation's military structure with a dual mission. The precedent for this lies in that portion of the Constitution of the United States which empowers the several states to raise and maintain a state militia.
The National Guard's federal mission is to provide fully organized, trained and equipped units capable of immediate mobilization and deployment as part of our national defense mission. National Guard units would be sent to the Active Army and Active Air Force for assignment anywhere in the world that they are needed in the event of mobilization. Once mobilized the National Guard comes under the President of the United States as its Commander-in-Chief.
Acting as the State Militia, the National Guard must be fully trained and prepared to deploy anywhere within the state in times of disaster and emergency to protect life and property, and preserve peace, '!.. order and public safety. In this role the National Guard serves under the Governor of Georgia as its Commander-in-Chief.

GEORGIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
In Fiscal Year 1980 (FY 80), the Georgia Army National Guard accepted the challenge of the new decade by proving itself ready for both combat and aiding the citizens of the state.
For the third consecutive year, the Georgia Army National Guard was rated first in training in the entire First U.S. Army.
Army Guardsmen assisted Civil Defense and rescue officials during, and in the aftermath of storms hitting the state during the year.
ORGANIZATION
The Georgia Army National Guard is organized into four major commands each of which reports directly to the Adjutant General.
48TH INFANTRY BRIGADE
The 48th Infantry Brigade (Mechanized) has its headquarters in Macon with subordinate units in 36 communities across the state. It is the largest command in the Georgia Army Guard with an authorized strength of 4,064.
The Brigade is a roundout unit of the 24th Infantry Division at Fort Stewart. This means that in the event of national mobilization, the 48th would deploy to its combat assignment as the division's third brigade. The brigade conducts much of its training side by side with the division throughout the year and is evaluated by them annually.
In November 1979, the 48th Brigade participated in Exercise West Wind VI with the 24th Infantry Division at Fort Stewart.

Members of the 148th Support Battalion clear the tube of a 48th Brigade howitzer.
This is an annual joint field training exercise designed to give involved units an opportunity to work together in the same manner as they would in wartime.
For the first time in the peacetime history of the Georgia Army Guard, a combat unit was sent overseas for its
13

annual training. Company A, 2d Battalion, 121st Infantry (Valdosta-Quitman) went to Baumholder, Germany, for its training.
The end of FY 80 saw all elements of the 48th rated as combat capable. Training has progressed to company and battalion level with combined-arms teams training integrated into many training exercises.
COMMAND AND CONTROL HEADQUARTERS (CAC)
The Command and Control Headquarters, with headquarters in Atlanta, has subordinate units in 48 locations of the state. It is comprised of maintenance, Army aviation, public affairs, military police, medical, signal, and transportation units as well as an Army band. It has an

authorized strength of 2 ,854. During FY 80, the 277th Maintenance
Company from Atlanta, performed its annual training at an Army depot in Pirmasens, Germany. Other CAC units supported active Army and National Guard units at various installations across the United States.
The 122nd Support Center (RAO) participated in a command post exercise with the 167th Corps Support Command, Alabama Army National Guard, at Camp Blanding, Fla., in June 1980. In the event of mobilization, the 122nd will join the 167th. This exercise was designed to test and evaluate the command and control elements of both units.

265TH ENGINEER GROUP (COMBAT)
The 265th Engineer Group was relocated during the year from Fulton County Airport in Atlanta to its present armory in Marietta. The group, with an authorized strength of 1,579, has subordinate units in 15 Georgia communities.
The 265th is comprised of two engineer battalions: the 560th Combat Engineer Battalion with headquarters in Columbus, and the 878th Combat Engineer Battalion with headquarters in Augusta.
The 878th Engineer Battalion is affiliated with the active Army's 92nd Engineer Battalion at Fort Stewart. The 92nd provides year-round trammg assistance and support and evaluates the 878th during its annual training. This close association has significantly enhanced the combat readiness of the Army Guard battalion.
All units in the group conduct performance-oriented training which often results in valuable support to domestic action projects for many communities within the state.
During the year these projects included: *Remodeling of the armory at
Columbus *Construction of a Boy Scout sum-
mer camp in Augusta *Construction of a police small-
arms range in Warner Robins *Building of a petroleum products
storage hut at Fort Benning *Construction of a sidewalk in
Swainsboro *Construction of a large municipal
recreational area in Fitzgerald *Relocation of a fire tower for the
Georgia Forestry Commission in Columbia County

118TH FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE
The 118th Field Artillery Brigade, with its headquarters in Savannah, has subordinate units in eight locations in Georgia. It has an authorized strength of 1 ,088. The brigade is comprised of two battalions: the 1st Battalion, 214th Artillery, with headquarters in Elberton, and the 2nd Battalion, 214th Artillery, with headquarters in Statesboro.
The battalions are equipped with lSSmm self-propelled howitzers that are

capable of delivering nuclear warheads or conventional ammunition. They conduct much of their weekend training at either Fort Gorlon or Fort Stewart due to their proximity to these installations.
The 118th conducted the joint command post exercise, Empire I, with the 227th Field Artillery Brigade of the Florida Army National Guard at Winter Haven, Fla., in January 1980. This exercise tested the ability of the Georgia brigade to respond to wartime requirements for command and control of attached units.

16

STRENGTH
The assigned strength of the Georgia Army Guard at the beginning of the year was 667 officers, 174 warrant officers, and 8,574 enlisted personnel for a total of 9,415.
At the end of the fiscal year, the assigned strength of the Georgia Army Guard reached 694 officers, 174 warrant officers, and 8,864 enlisted personnel for a total of 9,732. It was at 98.7 percent of authorized strength of 9,854 and showed a gain of 317 members for the year.
The minority strength of the Georgia Army Guard at the end of the year was 3,74 7 or 3 8. 5 percent of the total strength. Of that, there were 284 female members representing 2.9 percent of the total strength and 54 minority officers totaling 6.2 percent of the officer force.
During the year, 3,892 members of the Army Guard were eligible for discharge. Of that total, 3,024 extended their enlistments giving the Georgia Army Guard a retention rate of 77.7 percent.
17

RECRUITING AND RETENTION PROGRAMS
Recruiting and retention are the responsibilities of the commanders. However, the state Recruiting and Retention section operates a statewide recruiting program with 43 full-time recruiters. This recruiting force, which is now in its third year, is used to supplement the programs of the commanders.
The state strength remains high due to the efforts of the recruiting force and those of the unit members. The retention rate in the Georgia Army Guard is at 77.7 percent compared with the national average of 67.5 percent.
There are various incentives available from the state and federal government to assist in the recruiting and retention programs.

The federal government offers an initial enlistment bonus and an enlistment extension bonus to selected individuals primarily in high priority units. During the year 499 individuals collected the federal initial enlistment bonus of $1,500. During the same period 317 Georgia Army Guardsmen were paid bonuses of $900 each for extending their enlistments for three years and 479 Army Guardsmen were paid bonuses of $1,800 each for extending their enlistments for six years.
Federal tuition assistance amounting to $2,000 per person was paid to seven members of the Georgia Army Guard.
The state educational assistance program provides up to $2,500 ($500 per year for up to five years) to qualified

18

individuals who pay back the loan with service in the Georgia Army and Air National Guard. During the year 116 individuals took part in this program. There

were 66 members from the Georgia Army Guard and 50 members from the Georgia Air Guard.

TRAINING
The Georgia Army National Guard's high state of combat capability during the year was a direct result of its professional training. Leadership at every level from the smallest to the largest unit was equal to that found anywhere in the entire Army. That, coupled with the dedication of every member of the Georgia Army Guard resulted in some of the best trained units in our nation's military forces.
INACTIVE DUTY TRAINING (IDT)
Georgia Army National Guard units conducted 48 unit training assemblies during the year on a one weekend per month basis. Each assembly is 4 hours long totaling four assemblies each weekend. This training is normally conducted at the National Guard armories. However, many units train at active Army installations where heavy equipment, training assistance, and training areas are more readily available.
Many of the units are using the ARTEP (Army Training and Evaluation Program) and the Soldier's Manual, both of which are designed to enhance the combat readiness of a specific unit or the Guardsman in his specific job.
The Battalion Training Management System courses were completed by 11 of our 13 battalions during the year. The two remaining battalions are scheduled to complete this training in FY 81. BTMS is

ANNUAL TRAINING (AT)
All Army National Guard units conduct a 15-day annual training period each ye;tr. The majority of the AT for the Georgia Army Guard is conducted at Fort Stewart although other active Army posts throughout the country are frequently used.
Annual trammg provides the one opportunity of the year for the entire unit to work and train together. Active Army personnel are assigned to each unit to formally evaluate the overall performance and grade its combat readiness using the same standards that apply to active Army units worldwide. All units in the Georgia Army National Guard were rated during FY 80 as combat capable under these standards.
During the year two units attended annual training overseas. The 277th Maintenance Company from Atlanta went to Pirmasens, Germany and Company A, 2nd Battalion, 121st Infantry from Valdosta and Quitman trained at Baumholder,

GEORGIA MILITARY INSTITUTE (GMI)
Georgia Military Institute in Milledgeville is in its twentieth year of operation providing the Georgia Army Guard with qualified second lieutenants. Class Number 19 concluded in June 1980 with the commissioning of 27 National Guard and one U.S. Army Reserve officers.
Class Number 20 started in March 1980 with 36 cadets. They are scheduled to be graduated in June 1981.
Since its inception in 1960, GMI has commissioned 586 officers into the Georgia Army Guard. Several of these graduates are now on duty with the U.S. Army. Three graduates now command battalions in the Georgia Army Guard and a number
22

of them are Georgia Guard company commanders.
GMI has expanded its role in the Army Guard by the establishment of a NonCommissioned Officer Educational System. More than 200 senior NCOs completed training in February 1980 which was conducted at Fort Stewart, Milledgeville and Atlanta. More than 100 NCOs have completed other courses designed to help them keep pace with the ever increasing complexities of today's Army.
The courses at GMI will continue to provide officers required for the Georgia Army Guard and to insure that our NCOs receive the education they need to maintain their professionalism.

ARMY AVIATION
There are 65 aircraft assigned to Oe0rgia Army Guard units. The largest number of these (48 aircraft) are in the 151stCombat Aviation Battalion, a subordinate unit of Command and Control Headquarters.
The battalion headquarters is at Lawrenceville with the 158th Military Intelligence (MI) Company at Winder, the 159th Military Intelligence (MI) Company at Dobbins Air Force Base, and the 1160th Transportation Company (Heavy Helicopter) at Hunter Army Airfield near Savannah.
The MI units operate the OV-1 "Mohawk" fixed wing aircraft equipped with side-looking aerial radar (SLAR), infra-red systems, and high resolution cameras capable of either black and white or color photography. Presently, 37 of these sophisticated aircraft are assigned to the two MI companies.
The 1160th Transportation Company operates the CH-54 heavy helicopters known as "Skycranes." This is the largest helicopter in th e free world and ten are assigned to this unit.
There are also fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft assigned to Headquarters of the Georgia Army National Guard (one fixed wing aircraft), the 48th Infantry Brigade (eight rotary wing aircraft), and the 265th Engineer Group (eight rotary wing aircraft). These aircraft are maintained at the three Army Aviation Support Facilities at Dobbins Air Force Base, Winder, and Hunter Army Airfield.

CONSTRUCTION AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
The Facilities Management Office (FMO) is responsible for all construction, maintenance and repair of facilities and the acquisition, disposal and management of all real property utilized by the Georgia Department of Defense for Army National Guard purposes.
Construction projects include all armory, non-armory, and other capitalimprovement projects. Projects are funded by one of three methods: (1) 100 percent federal, (2) joint federal-state construction projects, or (3) 100 percent state. A summary of the FY 80 construction projects follows:

MOBILIZATION AND TRAINING EQUIPMENT SITE (MATES)
The Mobilization and Training Equipment Site (MATES) at Fort Stewart, was established so that tracked vehicles and other heavy equipment could be readily available in the event of mobilization of National Guard units. The site provides equipment to Georgia, as well as out-ofstate units during their annual and inactive duty training.
MATES is responsible for organi-
zational and support maintenance of all
equipment located at the site except during training periods when maintenance becomes the responsibility of the unit using the equipment.
In addition to performing maintenance on the equipment located at the MATES, support maintenance is performed on more than 8,000 items of equipment ranging from small arms to howitzers that are issued to GaARNG units located in the vicinity of Fort Stewart.

28

One request for use of equipment was made by the 24th Division at Fort Stewart and 71 pieces of equipment were furnished.
For inactive duty training, equipment was issued to National Guard armor, infantry, artillery and engineer units on 29 separate weekends involving the use of 2,217 pieces of equipment.
The facility is manned by 97 technicians with an annual federal payroll in excess of $1.8 million. MATES is completely supported with federal funds and has an equipment inventory of 581 combat vehicles valued at over $50 million.
In FY 80, National Guard units from Puerto Rico, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee and units from the US Army Reserve conducted annual training at Fort Stewart and used 1,337 tanks, personnel carriers and howitzers from MATES. COMBINED SUPPORT MAINTENANCE SHOP (CSMS)
The Combined Support Maintenance Shop in Atlanta performs support main-

tenance on federally owned Georgia Army National Guard equipment, with the exception of aviation equipment.
The CSMS provides maintenance on more than 28,000 items of equipment ranging from small arms to tanks. The shop also delivers equipment to Army Depots when more extensive repairs are necessary.

In addition, the CSMS prov.ides contact teams for inspection of equipment at on-site locations; furnishes technical advice and assistance pertaining to the maintenance of supplies and equipment to commanders and staff officers; and, provides technical personnel for maintenance assistance and instruction teams (MAlT) and command maintenance evaluation teams (COMET).
The shop processed more than 11,700 items of equipment in FY 80, and its Calibration Facility calibrated over 5,000 items of equipment. CSMS is currently manned with 57 technicians with an annual federal payroll in excess of $1,290,000.

GEORGIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD
Some 3,000 airmen manned and maintained the nine major Georgia Air National Guard units during fiscal year. Their missions varied from the highly sophisticated and unique Wild Weasel mission of the 116th Tactical Fighter Wing at Dobbins Air Force Base to the complex tactical air control job of the 117th Tactical Control Squadron at Savannah.
Throughout the year the Air National Guard worked closely with the United States Air Force in support of the "Total Force Policy," while maintaining a constant readiness to aid the state in emergency or disaster operations.
TACTICAL FIGHTER AND AIRLIFT UNITS AND MISSIONS
The Georgia Air Guard's flying missions are assigned to the state's largest air units: the 116th Tactical Fighter Wing and the 165th Tactical Airlift Group.

30

116TH TACTICAL FIGHTER WING
Using the F-105G Thunderchief jet fighter, the 116th, with an authorized strength of 983, based at Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta, carries out the unique Wild Weasel mission. Employing advanced electronics and weaponry, the crews fly into the target area in advance of a main strike force seeking out, suppressing or destroying enemy radar or ground-to-air missile sites. They remain over the target area until the main strike force leaves.
The Wing participated in a number of Joint Chiefs of Staff exercises such as Bold Eagle 80, Corsair Rouge, NAVEX 2-80, Scoreboard 80-1, Scoreboard 80-2, and Quick Thrust 1-80. In addition, they took part in Red Flag training at Nellis Air Force Base which gave them the opportunity to work against other units using Soviet air warfare tactics.

When higher headquarters exercises were not available, the unit built its own and arranged for U.S. Navy destroyers and frigates to provide the electronic signals needed for the training.
On one such exercise, the 116th deployed to the Savannah Field Training Site and conducted an exercise that included Air National Guard units from Alabama, Texas, South Carolina, Louisiana and Georgia; Navy and Marine reserve elements from Naval Air Station Atlanta, and active units from Moody AFB, Patrick AFB, Shaw AFB, Myrtle Beach AFB and the Marine Corps Air Station at Beaufort.
During the year the 116th TFW gained Air Force approval for modifications to their 20 F-105Gs which significantly reduced the aircraft weight and resulted in a fuel savings of 100 gallons per hour of flying.
Significantly, the unit was accident free during the year while flying an aircraft that has the highest accident rate of any aircraft in Tactical Air Command and the U.S. Air Force.
The 116th Weapons Systems Security Flight was named as the Outstanding Tactical Air Command Air National Guard Security Police Unit of 1979. The flight was also presented the National Guard Meritorious Service Award.
The 116th Tactical Fighter Wing received the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for the fourth time.

31

165TH TACTICAL AIRLIFT GROUP The Savannah-based 165th Tactical
Airlift Group provides tactical airlift of personnel and equipment to Army and Air Force units, both active and reserve. Using the Georgia built Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft, the unit is capable of airlifting cargo and personnel more than 2,500 miles.
In its wartime role as a tactical airlift unit, the 165th would be used in support of armed forc es in theaters of operations. This support includes air dropping or landing of cargo and personnel on short, unimproved airfields and low altitude extraction of heavy equipment.
The 804-man Group closed out the year with all assigned units combat capable. The unit flew more than 3,900 hours on missions throughout the United St-ates as well as to Europe, Latin America, and Asia with their nine C-130E Hercules Transports.
The unit volunteered to be the first Group-sized airlift unit to plan and execute an Operational Readiness Inspection to a deployed location. The mission was to demonstrate their capability to operate

at a forward location under simulated wartime conditions. The deployment base was Pope AFB, NC. It was a nearly flawless operation with the unit scoring 2,747 out of 2,835 possible points for an overall rating of excellent.
Elements of the 165th TAG deployed to Hickam AFB; Tucson, AZ; Bangor, ME; Torrejon, Spain; McChord AFB; Norton AFB; Osan AB, Korea; and Yokota, Japan as part of their mission training.
The unit took part in Operation VOLANT OAK in April 1980 earning commendations for their professionalism. This is a joint U.S. Air Force -Air National Guard operation which provides the Commander in Chief, U.S. Southern Command in Panama with a rotational airlift force to Central and South America.
The 165th was awarded the Air Force Association's Award for being the Outstanding Air National Guard Unit in 1979.
They also received Military Airlift Command and U.S. Air Force Flying Safety Awards for their accident-free record.

TACTICAL CONTROL UNITS AND MISSIONS
The link between the flying mission and the battlefield commander is best found in the job of the Tactical Air Controller. Essentially, their job is to provide radar and communications support to friendly aircraft in a combat zone in order to form an effective air defense.
Two Georgia Air National Guard units are assigned the tactical air control mission. They are the 129th Tactical Control Squadron and the 117th Tactical Control Squadron with authorized strengths of 296 and 263 personnel respectively.
129TH TACTICAL CONTROL SQUADRON (TCS)
Kennesaw's 129th TCS is equipped with two long-range radar systems, sophisticated radios and power units. It has more than 100 tactical vehicles and can be deployed anywhere in the world within hours. In combat the unit is self-sufficient.
During the year the 129th consistently maintained a combat-ready status by developing and conducting a number of exercises.
One such exercise was Peachtree III where the unit deployed to Savannah in June 1980 for two weeks and lived under combat conditions in the field for seven days. This enabled them to conduct their own defense against enemy attacks and infiltration.
During the year they provided worldwide teletype service on a Defense Communications System exercise. They designed and installed a radar tower at Travis Field, Savannah, which allows Tactical Air Control units to train on a site specifically designed for them.
In April 1980 the 129th provided the sole radar control for Quick Thrust 1-80 and were praised by 9th Air Force for their

outstanding achievements. During August 1979, the 129th under-
went an Operational Readiness Inspection by Tactical Air Command. The unit received a rating of excellent. This was the first time any Tactical Air Control unit, active or Air Guard, had ever received a rating of higher than satisfactory.

117TH TACTICAL CONTROL SQUADRON (TCS)
The 117th Tactical Control Squadron is stationed in Savannah. It is capable of furnishing a direct air support center, a tactical air control center and an operationally ready control and reporting center. It is equipped with some of the most modern computers, radar and power units in the Air Force's tactical air control system .
During the year the 117th supported both active Air Force and Air National Guard units in training exercises. They performed their annual training at Cape San Bias, FL, where they provided the control and reporting post for Exercise Bold Eagle 80. They also worked very closely with the Georgia Air Guard's

116th Tactical Fighter Wing in their combat training.
In January and February 1980, the 117th provided radar control for Exercise GB IX which involved U.S. Navy ships, Marine Corps aviation units, and the 116th Tactical Fighter Wing.
Additionally, they provided training support to the 125th Fighter Interceptor Group of the Florida Air National Guard.
Upon return from Bold Eagle 80 in November 1979, the 117th moved into the former facilities of an act ive duty air defense unit that were closed in the summer of 1979. For the first time in many years the 117th was in permanent buildings instead of tents. The facilities are being modified to meet the specific needs of the 117th but already significant savings
in energy usage have been realized .

COMBAT COMMUNICATIONS UNITS AND MISSIONS
Besides flying and tactical air control, Georgia Air National Guard units are tasked with other missions, one of which is communications.
The 224th and 283rd Combat Communications Squadrons provide the mobile voice and teletype communications which are vital in any combat situation.
In addition, the 202nd Electronics Installation Squadron provides worldwide electronics service to the Air Force. This service includes engineering, installation, removal, and relocation of ground communications, electronics, and meteorological systems. Authorized strength of the 224th is 211, that of the 283rd is 195 and the 202nd's is 266 personnel.

Communications "dishes" of the 283rd Combat Communications Squadron set for a TRI-TAC exerCise.

224TH COMBAT COMMUNICATIONS SQUADRON
The 224th at St Simons Island saw the year end with the opening of a new building and the rehabilitation of another. The new building provides facilities for equipment repair and the rehabilitated building gives much needed space for an adequate warehouse.
In February 1980, the 224th participated in an Air Force Communications Command performance evaluation. This tested the unit's ability to move to the field and become operational within the shortest possible time. The unit received an excellent rating.
In July 1980, President Carter visited Sapelo I-sland. The 224th played a major role in establishing the necessary communications for the Presidential vacation office.
Their annual training was conducted

at Travis Field in Savannah during Exercise Seaboard I. They operated communications systems from Travis Field to Myrtle Beach,
sc.
283RD COMBAT COMMUNICATIONS SQUADRON
The Savannah-based 283rd provided communications equipment and personnel in a number of exercises during the year.
One of the major tests of the unit was a TRI-TAC exercise in October 1979 at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The exercise was conducted to test the compatibility of Air National Guard equipment with that of the Air Force. The overall test was highly successful.
The 283rd also participated in SOUTHERN C01vLv1UNICATOR Exercise in June 1980 at Camp Blanding, Fla.

. 35

202ND ELECTRONICS INSTALLATION SQUADRON
The 202nd Electronics Installation Squadron in Macon installs, removes, engineers, and maintains the sophisticated electronic systems of the Air Force and the Air National Guard. In 1980 alone, the 202nd performed over 35,000 manhours of work in direct support of its USAF gaining command (Air Force Communications Command) and the Air National Guard. Of these, 15,000 manhours were expended on 45 Air Force Communications Command communications projects. For example, communication cable installations were performed in San Juan and Salinas, Puerto Rico, and cable repair was performed at Tyndall AFB, Florida, Myrtle Beach AFB, South Carolina, and Robins AFB, Georgia. These are some of the projects that typify the invaluable peacetime support this unit is providing to the active Air Force under the "Total Force Policy." For taxpayers, this not only means that realistic training is accomplished by "hands-on" type work but also that the cost of the work is considerably reduced, since an equivalent fulltime military force is not required in garrison to complete these tasks.
From a community perspective the 202nd Electronics Installation Squadron is the only Air National Guard unit in middle Georgia and thus becomes involved in support to Civil Defense and Disaster Preparedness programs within the surrounding counties. The unit designed and constructed a unique mobile command post for use in just such emergencies. For example, during Hurricane David in September 1979, the unit provided emergency communications support for areas affected by the storm. Following the storm, personnel of the 202nd worked to restore com-
36

munications and repair the extensive hurricane damage at the Savannah Air National Guard Field Training Site.
The excellence of the 202nd was recognized during the year. The 202nd was awarded the Air Force Communications Command Air National Guard Unit Achievement Award for 1979 and the Air Force Communications Command Civic Achievement Award for the same period.
STRENGTH
The assigned strength of the Georgia Air National Guard at the beginning of the year was 334 officers and 2,587 enlisted personnel for a total of 2,921.
At the end of the fiscal year, the assigned strength of the Georgia Air National Guard reached 333 officers and 2,672 enlisted personnel for a total of 3,005. It was at 97 percent of authorized strength showing a gain of 84 members for the year.
The minority strength of the Georgia Air Guard at the end of the year was 557 or 18.5 percent of the total strength. Of that, there were 187 female members representing 6.2 percent of the total strength and 23 minority officers totaling
'

6.9 percent of the officer force. During the year 698 members of the
Air Guard were eligible for discharge. Of that total, 609 reenlisted giving the Georgia Air Guard a retention rate of 87.2 percent.
RECRUITING AND RETENTION PROGRAMS
Recruiting and retention are the responsibilities of each commander in the Georgia Air Guard. Headquarters Georgia Air National Guard operates a statewide recrmtmg program with 13 full-time recruiters to supplement the commander's programs. These recruiters are assigned to duty stations at Dobbins Air Force Base, Macon, Savannah, St Simons Island, and Kennesaw.
The Georgia Air Guard also participates in the same state and federal incentive programs available to the Army Guard. These benefits are available, however, only to those individuals qualified for assignment in a few critical skills.
During the year, 17 individuals collected the federal initial enlistment bonus of $1,500. During the same period, 3 Georgia Air Guardsmen were paid bonuses of $900 each for extending their enlistments for three years and 14 Air Guardsmen were paid bonuses of $1,800 each for six-year extensions of their enlistments.
Fifty members of the Air Guard participated in the Georgia educational assistance program which provides up to $2,500 ($500 per year for up to five years) to qualified individuals. This loan is paid back by serving in the Georgia National Guard.
37

CONSTRUCTION AND FACILITIES

All construction, maintenance and repair of facilities and the acquisition, disposal and management of all real property utilized by the Department of Defense for Air National Guard purposes are the responsibility of the Headquarters Georgia Air National Guard.
This responsibility is further delegated to three Base Civil Engineers, located at the larger Air National Guard units in the state and the Field Training Site. Their area of responsibility also includes the geographically separated units: Tactical Control Squadrons, Electronic Installations Squadron, and Combat Communication Units.
Construction, maintenance, and repair projects include all airfield, non-airfield, and other capital improvement projects. In contrast to the Army Guard Program, Air Guard projects are all 100 percent federally funded with the exception of small minor jobs accomplished under the State/Fiscal Operations and Maintenance Agreements. A summary of the FY 80 Projects follows:

TOTAL CONSTRUCTION ALL LOCATIONS

Operations, maintenance, and repair of facilities at eight individual Air National Guard units comprising 323 structures located on 365 acres of land are operated and maintained under the provisions of both cost sharing federal-state service contracts and 100 percent federally funded contracts. These cooperative-type cost sharing contracts, wherein the federal government furnishes 75 percent of the funds for the normal operation and maintenance of facilities and grounds, totaled $532,571 federal and $177,525 state funds for FY 80.
In addition, $646,191 in federal funds were expended for the operation and maintenance of facilities at the ANG Field Training Site in Savannah to support the training of both Army and Air Guardsmen, Air Force Reserve, active duty Air Force, Civil Air Patrol, and other units of the Armed Forces.
Overall, under contract or being designed, proposed investments for the construction, maintenance, operation, and repair of Air National Guard facilities in the State of Georgia will amount to $12,203,940 Federal and $177,525 State funds for a total of $12,381,465.

FIELD TRAINING SITE
The Air National Guard Field Training Site in Savannah provides a deployment location for Air National Guard, Army National Guard, and active duty forces. While there, units conduct weapons deploy-

ments, operational readiness inspections, and training exercises.
During the year the site supported the deployment of approximately 350 aircraft and 7,460 personnel. Members of units deployed there contributed nearly $1.7 million in revenues to the local economy.

l

FULL-TIME MILITARY MANNING PROGRAMS
During the period March 1979 -June 1980, the Army and Air Guard initiated a Congressionally-directed program to convert vacant technician positions to National Guard active military tour positions. This program was not designed to replace the existing technician work force, but rather to test the ability of the Army and Air Guard to recruit full-time personnel in military status. This program was tested nationally with the results to be announced during the first quarter of 1981 (JanuaryMarch).
The Georgia Army National Guard placed 139 personnel and the Georgia Air National Guard 102 personnel in this program.
ADDITIVE FULL-TIME MANNING PROGRAM
Additionally, the Georgia Army Guard participated in the additive full-time manning program. This program was initiated by the active Army to provide full-time personnel over and above authorized unit manning and was designed to enhance the combat capability of the units by giving the unit commander additional personnel to help him in such critical areas as training, maintenance, supply and administration.
At the end of the year the Georgia Army Guard had 147 personnel of 162 authorized in this program on two-year active duty tours and the remainder of the positions were filled by active Army personnel.
All of these personnel were assigned to 44 of the 93 Georgia Army Guard units.
42

DISTINCTIVE DRIVERS' LICENSES AND LICENSE PLATES
Among the incentives offered to active members of the Georgia National Guard are free Georgia distinctive drivers' licenses and free Georgia distinctive license plates for personal automobiles. A Guard member qualifies for the state distinctive license plate immediately upon joining the Guard. Completion of one year's service is required to qualify for the driver's license.
Retired members of the Georgia Guard are eligible for the distinctive license plates on a fee-paid basis, but only active members of the Guard are authorized the free driver's license.
During the year, 357 free drivers' licenses were issued to Guard members. At the end of the year more than 18,500 distinctive license plates were in force.

CIVIL DEFENSE DIVISION
The Georgia Civil Defense Division is the Governor's central coordinating agency for all emergencyIdisaster preparedness, response, and recovery activities within the state. It is responsible for the development of comprehensive plans and programs at the state level. It also provides assistance and guidance for development of plans and programs at the local level to insure their completeness and compatibility with both state and federal plans and programs.
State, county, and community governments will be better able to cope with emergency and disaster situations if prior planning and training have been accomplished.
The Division has a very small staff that coordinates the activities of all state agencies when an emergency or disaster occurs that is of such severity and magnitude that it is beyond the capability of local government. In response to a request from a community, and with the approval of the Governor, all those assets determined to be absolutely necessary are applied to the given situation.
When a disaster or emergency is beyond local and state response or recovery capability, the Governor may then request federal assistance from the President.
The impetus for all response and recovery actions lies with the local government. Only after a situation is clearly beyond its capability will the state or federal government assist.
43

Civil Defense personnel prepare disaster plan.
44

CIVIL DEFENSE PLANNING
A major responsibility of the division is in the development of comprehensive and workable contingency plans. Planning for emergency operations insures that every agency involved in such operations knows its specific responsibilities and thereby avoids duplication of effort. In order to remain valid, plans must be continually reviewed a:nd exercised under realistic conditions.
All local emergency and disaster plans in the state were reviewed and updated during the year. A standard format was developed which makes all of these plans compatible in form and content with the Georgia Natural Disaster Operations Plan and the Georgia Nuclear Emergency Operations Plan. This will make the process of keeping these plans viable and current an easier task.
The Georgia Radiological Emergency Plan was revised during the year in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Division of the State Department of Natural Resources. New planning criteria for fixed nuclear facilities were issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency in January 1980 as a result of lessons learned from the accident at Three Mile Island. Emergency preparedness plans were completed for Appling, Early, Jeff Davis, Tattnall, and Toombs counties which are all within the 10-mile emergency planning zone of a fixed nuclear facility.
Nuclear Civil Protection Planning received major emphasis during the year resulting in the completion of nine countylevel crisis relocation plans. Crisis relocation plans were completed for the Columbus and Brunswick conglomerates and work begun on the Savannah conglomerate.

Radiological monitors W.F. Everson of the Conyers Fire Department and Gary Cooley of the Rockdale County Fire Department examine waste material at the scene of an exercise.

Host plans for Bryan, Effingham and Liberty counties were completed. Parallel with crisis relocation planning was enhancement of in-place fallout protection for individual communities.
Through a FEMA Grant, assistance was given to the Coastal Area Planning and Development Commission in formulating the concept for the "Coordination and Education Model for Coastal Georgia Storm Preparedness." This model, when concluded, will provide a complete update of the Coastal Georgia Hurricane Evacuation plan and serve as an evacuation guide to supplement the crisis relocation plans of the coastal area of Georgia.
During the summer of 1980, the entire nation suffered from an intense heat wave and drought. There were a number of weather-related deaths and injuries in Georgia. The state also ex-

perienced disastrous agricultural losses. State Civil Defense monitored the situation in Georgia, collecting data on the effects of the heat and lack of water with the idea of possibly requesting an emergency declaration.
EXERCISES
The best way to insure that planning is sound and workable is to test the plan under actual emergency conditions. However, when such conditions do not exist, an acceptable substitute is to simulate an emergency. During the year a number of exercises were held to test Civil Defense plans under simulated conditions. In every case the planning was found to be sound and workable.
Georgia held its second state-wide tornado drill in March 1980. The first drill, conducted in 1979, was so successful

45

that seven other states joined Georgia in the follow-on drill. This drill and exercise were conducted in conjunction with the National Weather Service in Atlanta. The exercise was designed to test the emergency preparedness structures under the Georgia Natural Disaster Operations Plan. The state-wide drill was primarily an educational effort designed to teach people what to do in the event of severe weather. The prime target group was schools and institutions. A massive public information program was conducted throughout the state to support the program.
Three nuclear response exercises were conducted during the year to test emergency procedures. One was held in conjunction with Alabama's Nuclear Plant Farley near Early County and Nuclear Plant Hatch in

Appling County in Georgia. A third drill was held in Rockdale County to test responses to a possible nuclear materials transportation emergency. Rockdale is one of the seven Atlanta-metro counties through which various dangerous materials are regularly transported.
Th(; Division participated in a nuclear attack exercise conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency Regional Center in Thomasville. The exercise simulated a nuclear attack on the United States and tested the emergency response procedures of state government emergency management agencies in accordance with the Georgia Nuclear Emergency Operations plan.

HURRICANE DAVID The Civil Defense Division contended
with a number of weather-related threats during the year. The most significant of these was Hurricane David. This storm,

like all severe storms, was tracked by the Civil Defense Division from the time it was declared to be a hurricane by the weather center in Miami August 27th until it made landfall m Savannah September 4th.
On August 28, 1979, the state Emergency Operations Center in Atlanta was partially activated since it then appeared that David posed a threat and might hit the Georgia coast.
Governor George Busbee issued a warhing on August 29th to the residents of Georgia's coastal islands and low-lying areas of the possibility of Hurricane David making landfall and causing severe damage and flooding in the coastal area. He encouraged them to move inland until the passage of the storm. Several thousand residents heeded this warning and moved.
The State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) went into full operation on September 3rd and the mobile command post was dispatched to Jesup, Ga., to insure continuing communication between the threatened Georgia coast and the EOC.
Some 30 Civil Defense organizations and a task force of the Georgia National Guard were alerted to be prepared to provide assistance after the storm passed. Fortunately it was not necessary to commit this force.
Hurricane David made landfall at Savannah late in the afternoon of September 4th but with much less force than anticipated.
The Governor, State Civil Defense Director, Deputy Director, and damage assessment personnel went to Savannah on the morning of September 5th. On-site observations showed that the majority of the damage occurred in the northernmost coastal counties.
Complete damage assessment revealed
47

that public property damage in Chatham. Liberty and Bryan Counties totaled $1.4 million. Private non-agricultural damage totaled $2.9 million and agricultural damage was $0.8 million.
State Civil Defense officials compiled damage estimates and supporting documentation for the Governor's request to the President for an Emergency Declaration and to the Small Business Administration for an SBA Emergency Declaration for the affected coastal counties.
Financial assistance resulting from the Governor's action was made available through the Small Business Administration low-interest loan program and the Farmers Home Administration agricultural lowinterest loan program.
TRAINING AND STANDARDS
Training is a continuing program in the division. It is only through a dynamic training program that appropriate skill levels can be maintained. The various programs involve every member of Civil Defense.
Rules and regulations pertaining to the Rescue Act of 1974 (GACode 86-1828) were updated and strengthened during 1980. This has resulted in overall improvement of the state's rescue program with stricter licensing and training requirements.
To help meet state response requirements to emergencies, a newly revised training program was implemented during the year. This program provided for the certification of local basic rescue instructors as well as for many local volunteer workers. The training materials for advanced rescue training were developed by state Civil Defense headquarters. Members of the Master Rescue Instructor Board trained and certified 100 local basic rescue instructors.
48

They, in turn, trained local volunteer rescue workers, 885 of whom were certified by the state. Under the revised rescue rules and regulations, 36 Georgia rescue organizations were licensed during the year. There were 25 advanced rescue workers graduated in April 1980.
A Temporary Housing Preliminary Damage Assessment Workshop was held for state headquarters and seven other state agencies. Emergency operations simulations for several local organizations and other workshops were conducted throughout the year.
Many newly appointed local directors and local government officials were given orientation briefings by the state staff to assist them in developing a Civil Defense capability within their jurisdictions.

LEGISLATION The 1980 Georgia General Assembly
enacted Senate Bill 52 which allows for
state grants for the purchase of disaster preparedness equipment. These grants must be matched equally with local funds. In order to qualify for a grant, the community or county must have a qualified Civil Defense organization. Further, no single organization may receive more than 12.5 percent of the total funds appropriated by the state.
FEDERAL FUNDING During the year the State Civil Defense
Headquarters and local organizations were again hampered by limited federal funds.
Funds were not available for rescue equipment or vehicles. Federal funds to
match salaries, travel and all other expenses
for local Civil Defense organizations have also been limited for the last three years.
No funds have been available for matching the cost of Emergency Operations Centers, communication: or warning equipment for the past two years nor are any expected.
