REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT.GENERAL

ALBANY,December 31, 1939 His Excellency HERBERT H. LEHMAN, Governor of New York,

Albany, N. Y.
SIR:-Pursuant to section 17 of the Military Law, as The Adjutant-General, and, under the provisions of section 42 of chapter 78 of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York, as Head of the Division of Military and Naval Affairs of the Executive Department, I submit herewith my annual report concerning the administration of that Division for the year 1939. For convenience in reference the report is presented in sections dealing with the activities of the various bureaus of the Division. Executive

Strength.-The strength of the active military of the State on this date is as follows:
National Guard Naval Militia ............................. Officers 1,379 140

and naval forces

Warrant Officers 21 Enlisted Men 21,357 1,892

A detailed report of strength of all components is included under the report of the activities of the Personnel Bureau.

Increased Strength of the National Guard.-Under the provisions of the Executive Order of the President of the United States to increase the enlisted strength of the National Guard to 235,000 men, 4,6312enlisted men were added to the existing strength of the New York National Guard by the National Guard Bureau on September 21, 1939, and were allotted to the various organizations of the New York National Guard in strict accordance with specific instructions of that Bureau, as described in General Orders No. 12, this office, dated October 1, 1939. While it was the desire of the War Department to recruit the full number of additional men by October 31, 1939 (within one month), it was not possible to accomplish this despite an intensive recruiting campaign which was immediately instituted. To date about fifty (50) % of the addition has been realized. Each week continues to show small but certain increases. This has been due to a desire to maintain the same high standard of requirements for enlistment as has been in effect since its reorganization after the World War; restrictions against the enlistment of married men or others with dependents since such men would not be taken if the National Guard were called into United States service, and the heavy losses the National Guard has suffered as a consequence of enlistments in the United

GENERAL

States Army, Navy and Marine Corps which components have also been increased in strength and find the National Guard a fruitful field for recruits, not only because they have established physical eligibility for active service but have had training in the preliminaries as well. It is established that since October 1, 1939, 215 enlisted men of the New York National Guard have been discharged to enlist in the Regular Army, Navy or Marine Corps. Increased Training.~The situation in Europe continues to be reflected in increased activity of our military and naval forecs. Recently authority was received to perform National Guard armory drills twice each week, with pay, to include January 31, 1940, which is the first time such authority has been extended in peace time since the reorganization of the "Militia" on a specified drill programme in 1847. Instructions for the carrying out of these additional drills were incorporated in General Orders No. 13, this office, dated October 17, 1939, together with instructions for the performance of an additional seven days period of field training, likewise authorized by the National Guard Bureau, to be commmmated on or before January 31, 1940. As the Commanding General, New York National Guard, has covered this additional training quite completely in his annual report, appended hereto, further comments are unnecessary, except to add that the majority of the State Staff officers of the National Guard performed such additional field training in the form of a Selective Service conference at Albany, N. Y., under the able leadership of Major Lewis B. Hershey, General Staff, who is the Secretary of the Joint Army and Navy Selective Service Committee, stationed at Washington, D. C., and who is probably the outstanding authority on the subject in the United States. Special authority for the State Staff to perform field training in this manner was granted by the War Department and has resulted in a widespread interest in the subject of Selective Service and Volunteer Recruiting which subjects would be given initial consideration in event of a national emergency calling for the raising of a large army for United States service. Under the present plans of the War Department. the Adjutant General '8 Officesin the various states would be the headquarters for these two activities and places the responsibility for their successful operation on the various Adjutants General. It is hoped to enlarge upon the instruction for this activity during field training period next summer and in the meantime the key officers and enlisted men are required to carryon extension courses in Selective Service prescribed by the Joint Army and Navy Selective Service Committee. Normal Training.-The normal armory a.nd field training of the National Guard were carried out in accordance with prescribed schedules.The dates of field training thereof are contained in General Orders No.5, this office,dated May 18, 1939. A complete report of such training, including Army Service Schools, will be found in the report of the Commanding General, New York

National Guard, appended hereto. A report by the Commanding Officer,New York Naval Militia, covering the training of that component of the State Forces is likewise appended hereto. Duty in Aid of Oivil Authority.-During the year no labor or other situations developed to proportions warranting the calling out of any part of the New York National Guard or Naval Militia in aid of civil authority. Increased Requirements of the War Department.-During the past year the War Department has made increasing demands on the time of our clerical force and every effort has been made to co-operate to the fullest extent possible with the already overloaded duties my limited staff have to perform. One of these requirements was the fingerprinting of every officer of the New York National Guard and the furnishing of a personal history of every such officer. No funds 'Weresupplied by the Federal government for this work, although the necessary cards were supplied by the War Department. It was necessary for the various organizations of the National Guard throughout the State to accomplish the work in the best way possible on or before November 1, 19'39,and because of the lack of necessary equipment and trained fingerprint men much of the work had to be duplicated. Another requirement still in effect is the weekly rendition by this officeof a consolidated report on the results of the Recruiting Drive to obtain the additional enlisted men allotted to the State referred to above. In order to comply it was necessary to have printed at State expense an organization report form to be rendered weekly by every unit of the National Guard from which the data required by the National Guard Bureau is extracted for the consolidated report. The report calls for the compilation of a considerable amount of statistical data and it has been necessary to employ temporarily an additional clerk to prepare same. The National Guard Bureau requires that the report be rendered weekly until the quota allotted to the State has been recruited. To date about 50% of the quota has been realized. Ohanges in Organizations.-Pursuant to General Orders No.6, this office,dated May 19, 1939, the State Staff and Detachment were constituted a Company and redesignated Company of State Staff and Detachment, New York National Guard. This action was found advisable to improve the administration of the State Staff. General Orders No.9, this office, dated August 24, 1939, carried out the requirements of the War Department to abolish, effective September 30, 19'39,all Infantry Howitzer Companies in the State, the personnel thereof being transferred to the Headquarters Company of the respective regiment and other units thereof as provided in revised tables of organization. General Orders No. 14, this office, dated November 20, 1939, established the new Cavalry Division troops allotted to the State by theW ar Department recently. These consist of the Headquarters Troop, and the 21st Signal Troop, Special Troops, 21st Cavalry Division, New York National Guard, both of which are stationed at New Dorp, Staten Island, in

the same armory with the Headquarters Troop, 51st Cavalry Brigade. The new Major General, Commanding the 21st Cavalry Division, allotted to the State has not been appointed due to the requirement by the War Department that not less than 50% of ths newly constituted troops for the Division must first. be Federally recognized. As some of the new divisional troops are allotted to other states the State of New York has no control in the matter and must wait until the War Department grants its approval before any action toward the organization of the 21st Cavalry Division Headquarters can be taken. Pursuant to General Orders No. 15, this office,dated December 29, 1939, the station of the 32nd Division (Separate), New York Naval Militia, was changed, effective December 31, 1939, from Ossining to Yonkers, N. Y., the facilities at the latter station being vastly superior to those at Ossining. Under date of December 15, 1939, this officeissued General Orders No. 17, effecting certain changes in the organization of the 212th Coast Artillery (Anti-Aircraft) stationed at New York City (Manhattan), to conform with the "streamlining" process invoked by the War Department. The Service Battery was abolished and the personnel thereof transferred to the Headquarters Battery to organize the "Supply Platoon and Maintenance Section" thereof. The Band, heretofore a part of the Service Battery, became a separate unit of the regiment, and some other minor changes were effected. Military Staff of the Commander-in-Chief.-Since the publication of General Orders No.1, this office,dated January 1, 1939, detailing certain officers of the New York National Guard and Naval Militia as Military Aides to your Excellency, no changes therein have taken place to date except for an increase in the rank of Major Arthur T. Smith, 108th Infantry, to Lieutenant Colonel, same command. Changes in Pm'sonnel of Office.-During the year the following changes have taken place in the officerpersonnel of this office:January 6, 1939, Major Clarence Strevell, Retired List, DireJtor, Bureau of Files, Mail and Distribution, died. His post was filled January 16, 1939, by transf~ of Lt. Colonel ChristophE-I" . DegeB naar, A. G. D., from duty with Personnel Bureau. On January 16, 1939, Major William H. Boughton, on duty in the Personnel Bureau, was appointed Assistant Director, that Bureau, vice Lt. Colonel Degenaar, transferred. February 1, 1939, Captain William M. Van Antwerp, Infantry, N. Y. N. G., was appointed to a position in the Personnel Bureau, vice Major Boughton promoted. On March 30, 1939, Mr. William Saxton, Director of the War Records Bureau and an employee of the Bureau over 43 years service, passed on. His place was filled April 16, 1939, by the appointment of Lt. Colonel William J. Mangine, Q. M. C., by promotion from Recruiting Officer. In turn Major Daniel Ruddy, F. D., was appointed Recruiting Officer in addition to his duties as Assistant Director, Finance Bureau, and 1st Lt. James J. Cooke, A. G. D., was promoted vice Major Ruddy.

The year 1939 was indeed a period of increased activity at the New York State Arsenal, due particularly to the 1st Army maneuvers held at Plattsburg, N. Y., the increase in the strength of our National Guard, and the additional seven (7) days field training recently authorized by the National Guard Bureau of the War Department. As in former years additional motor vehicles have been received, and distributed to various organizations of the State. There are now 852 motor vehicles ranging from lh-ton reconnaissance cars to 10-ton Artillery Tractors, plus 36 motorcycles on hand among the units of this State, and further issues are expected. Approximately 11,000 pairs of trousers, elastique, were received this year and were distributed in accordance with

the schedule furnished by the Commanding General. The. issue of coats, mackinaw, to all motorized units and the issue of the new overcoats, roll callar, to other units has been completed. During the year 4,153 requisitions were received, covering the following periods:
January 1 to March 31 (Inspection period) " .. , . April 1 to August 15 (Maneuver period) " .. August 16 to December 31 (Additional Field Training period) .... 1,015 2,085 1,053

It may be stated that in order to process this unusual demand for property, it was necessary to work overtime for a period of several months. Prior to the Additional Field Training period, due to the pressure of time, it was necessary to send several convoys of motor trucks to Federal Depots (Schenectady and Philadelphia) for Clothing and equipment badly needed to equip units of the National Guard, including the recent authorized increase in our strength. The preparation of the required records to account for the large quantity of clothing and equipment received, broken down and then reshipped, was in itself a considerable task. The increased activities of the troops of the State in 1939 also reflected in the rendition and processing of a larger number of Reports of Survey, Inventory and Inspection Reports and Certificate of Limited Amount of Losses than any year in the history of the Bureau. The following number were processed during the year:

It is expected that the Board covering the Property Inventory of the State will conclude its work the early part of 1940.
RECORD SECTION

The First Army Maneuvers The extra activity in this section with reference to the above, was, that we processed in the accounts twelve hundred (1200) additional vouchers which required posting in both the stock record and memorandum receipt accounts. Extra Field Training With reference to the above, there were five hundred (500) additional vouchers to be processed through the stock records and memorandum accounts. In addition, there was received from the Quartermaster of the C. C. C. Division at Schenectady, a larger amount of pr-opertywhich required an additional account to be started, as this property was loaned on memorandum only, there: fore requiring separate accounting in the form of memorandum receipts.

Action of the Board of Survey

At the beginning of this year, this office obtained from the W. P. A. Administrator, about 60 employees; 40 of which were used for the extra activity in this department, in addition to the augmentation of 10 regular employees added to this department. All of these people were utilized and still are, in order to adjust the stock record balances, which were not given to this section until August 1. The constant source of interruption by the members of the Board of Survey resulted in this section not being able to post the current vouchers until the above date. It was then necessary to require the entire regular force of 14 employees to work daily until 9 P.M., in order to bring about a balance so that the memorandum receipts could be forwarded to the responsible officers on September 15 for the annual inventory for 19'39, which is required now by the regulations.

An Inventory of Property Now Required

Upon the completion of the work mentioned in section 3, it was then immediately required of the entire force of this section and also the assistance of the W. P. A. employees to prepare the memorandum receipts after September 15 to be forwarded to the U. S. A. Instructors for inventory. This work completed on November 1, an additional requirement is necessary which takes the time of four (4) regular employees to adjust all the findings on this inventory. After this will have been completed, the regulations require that a consolidated form of the findings of this inventory be compiled and forwarded to the National Guard Bureau, which will require the constant time and effort of at least 10 regular employees. However, this section feels that with all its extra effort, we. have now in the State, a stock record that does produce the true status of the property now on hand in the State of New York.
FINANCE SECTION

First Army Maneuvers

This section co-operated with Headquarters, 1st Army and Headquarters, 27th Division, in the compilation of estimates and various other details of administration in preparation for 1st Army Maneuvers at Plattsburg, N. Y., during the period August 13-27, 1939. The major problem presented was that of payment of troops participating in the maneuvers. It was necessary to make arrangements with local banks, at Plattsburg, N. Y., for the withdrawal of large amounts of cash funds for payment of those troops in the area, whose home stations are located outside Greater New York, and additional arrangements with New York City banks for the withdrawal of funds for payment of troops located in the New York City area.

Additional Field Training The sum of $327,882was allotted to this State for the carrying out of seven (7) days' additional field training between October 15, 1939, and January 31, 1940. Estimates were required to be compiled and control of expenditures was required to be maintained by daily. telegraphic reports of obligations made by the field. All organizations located outside the Greater New York area were paid by check, whereas, all organizations located in the New York City area were paid in cash. This section was not organized to handle this additional load and the procurement of additional temporary employeeswas found necessary to aid in carrying out the directives of higher authority.

Pine Camp- Water Supply-Drilling Well Due to the inability to obtain the quantities of water necessary for the regular army construction project and the N. Y. N. G. camp on the Pine Plains Reservation during the 1938 Field Training Period, resulting from the insufficient supply caused by the clogging of the screen and defective condition of the regular army pumping equipment, and the inadequate output from the National Guard Auxiliary system consisting of a reservoir fed.by springs and streams pumped through. the distribution system or to the water tank by two (2) Fairbanks Morse 15 h.p. gasoline engines operating two (2) Gould 4 in. suction 4 in. discharge pumps, it was considered of prime importance that facilities for an adequate water supply be increased to meet current and contingent consumption requirements. After consultation with a Second Corps Area engineer who was particularly familiar with existing conditions, it was deemed desirable and in our mutual interest to select a site for the drilling of a new 12 in. well in a line between the 103,OOO-gallon ater tank w and approximately 500 ft. from the regular army well. Based upon data made available by the Second Corps Area on penetration records of test holes and the penetration record of the regular army well, all located in the vicinity of the site selected, it was deemed unnecessary to include in the preparation of invitations for bids the drilling of one or more test holes. The penetration record was, however, incorporated in the invitation for bids and is as indicated: "8. Information to bidders :-The following penetration record of the present well drilled at the regular Arm~ post is given for the information of the bidder. This well is approximately 400 feet from the site of the proposed well. The government does not guarantee similar conditions at the proposed site of well.

On June 7, 1939,the Chief, National Guard Bureau, approved the award under Contract Number W-48-ng-587,in the amount of $3,142 to Stewart Brothers of Scotia, N. Y., for the drilling of a 12 in. well to a depth of 140 ft., the last 40 ft. to be screened by a brass screen, the contract being governed by a lump sum bid sup. plemented by increase and decrease unit prices for the depth of the well and the length of the screen.

Contrary to anticipated geological conditions, the volcanic lime rock ledge was encountered at a depth of 96 ft. but solid bed rock was found as the drilling continued. Based on actual conditions there appeared to be no necessity for the furnishing and installation of the well screen contracted for. On June 23 a proposal was forwarded to the Chief, National Guard Bureau, which was approved by wire on June 27, authorizing the contractor to drill beyond the originally stipulated 140 ft. to a depth of 234 ft. through the solid limestone rock in lieu of the furnishing and setting of the well screen, the substitution representing the equivalent value under the contract, and the approval granted being subject to adequacy tests of the well. On June 29, a 6 in. plunger pump test was conducted, with a well depth of 212, ft. or in 116, ft. of rock, pumping up to the rate of 125 g.p.m. for three (3) hours, and then flow reduced to 75 g.p.m. A similar test was conducted the next day with the same results. Although the ,contractor assumed it to be a reasonable supposition that it would require 70 to 100 feet of rock drilling beyond the 234 ft. depth to obtain a capacity of approximately 250 g.p.m., the tests as conducted under the supervision fo the N. Y. N. G. camp quartermaster were not accepted by the contracting officer. Following completion of the drilling to the authorized depth of 234 ft., the 6 in. pump test was again operated for a period of four (4) hours on July 12, the results indicating a draw down of 14 ft. and a capacity of approximately 150 g.p.m., as indicated in the following comparative tabulation:

supposition that the supply would be proportionately increased with the increased depth, an analysis of the tests on July 12 indicated that with a total draw down of 14 ft. in four (4) hours and an average supply of 150 g.p.m., and considering the factor of safety, the well with an adequate turbine pump could supply 250 g.p.m. A draw down and capacity curve based on the July 12 data is submitted herewith.

It is contemplated that 1940 fiscal year funds may be made available to complete the installation of a deep well turbine pump of 250-gallon capacity, with water line and connections to the distribution system, the necessary electrical installation and for the construction of a cement block pump house. When the present installation has been completed, the water supply and distribution system will permit the supply of water for either or both the regular army and N. Y. N.

Camp Smith-Refrigeration-Central

Storage Plant

On June 6, 1939, under Reservation No.9 dated May 31, 1939, two 7F3-20WF complete self-contained Freon refrigeration compressor units were installed by the Suburban Air Conditioning Corporation under Contract W-48-ng-586 in the vestibules of the Central Storage Plant building at Camp Smith, with 700 sq. ft. of finned copper tubing evaporating coils in the meat storage compartment and 700 sq. ft. in the dairy compartment, the size of each compartment being 27 ft. 7 in. x 11 ft. 9 in. x 10 ft. 4 in. high. The installation replaced the seven (7) unserviceable and obsolete sulphur dioxide type Model" C" Frigidaire compressor units and old boiler type coils installed under Contract W-48-MB 221 dated June 4, 1929. The contract was executed in exact accordance with the specifications. The general requirements included the clause that a constant temperature of between 34 and 37 degrees F. was to be maintained in both compartments. The N. Y. N. G. Quartermaster at Camp Smith deemed it necessary that a temperature of 32 degrees be maintained in the meat cooler. In lowering the temperature, difficulty was encountered by the frosting of the coils. It was noted that to defrost the unit once a week, approximately eight (8) hours was required, during which time the temperature rose to 50 degrees. The element of risk involved by manually defrosting the unit periodically during the day was objectionable. Funds in the amount of $90 have been made available for the fiscal year 1940 for the installation of an automatic defroster.
The bid under the contract for removal of the existing units and installation of the new units was !. . . . Less salvage value allowance on the old units. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Net cost of installation $1,298 00 150 00 $1,148 00

Labor for the completion of the target range includes the construction of the retaining wall, butts, embankment and target house, clearing site, construction of roads, changing course of creek, construction of firing mounds, construction of wash walls and bank protection with all work incidental thereto. It is reported that on inspection of the Guilderland site on July 14, all preliminary work had been completed. The range site arid firing lanes have been cleared, roads have been constructed, the course of the creek has been changed, wash walls have been constructed, firing mounds have been roughed in and excavation has been completed for the retaining wall footings. Practically all materials contracted for and authorized under the Federal allotment have been delivered. It is anticipated that the construction of the retaining wall will be started within a month. The Guilderland site lends itself ideally for a rifle and a machine gun range with a natural back stop of porous stone 130 feet high, as indicated by the topographical map of the area.

infantry brigade camp at Pine Camp, submitted to the Chief, National Guard Bureau, on N. G. B. "Special form for submission of new construction program-exclusive," dated June 26, 1939, and based on the 1940 Appropriation Act, it is contemplated that the following necessary construction items will be submitted for approval: a. Repair and painting of three (3) artillery observation pylons at Pine Camp. b. Construction of two (2) pairs of doors in the end of the 75 mm gun shed at Pine Camp, to permit entry and storage of 12-155 mm G. P. F. 's now at Fort Ontario. c. General repairs to buildings. In consideration of the fact that organizations will not perform their tours of field training at Pine Camp this year due to the maneuvers in the Plattsburg area, it was considered essential that advantage be taken of this opportunity to accomplish the completion of a new well, with funds normally used for maintenance and repair of buildings. An inspection of the buildings discloses that a considerable number require repair and painting.

Dump Trucks
The experiences of the past five (5) years during the various phases of construction work in the N. Y. N. G. camps and rifle ranges make it evident that the most important and essential item of equipment which is not available and urgently needed is the dump truck. The entire N. Y. N. G. has only two I1h-ton Indiana dump trucks, which are assigned to the 102d Engineer Regiment. Many contacts and repeated efforts have been made to borrow or have temporarily assigned "for camp construction work on military reservation, on which were located other Federal agencies with more dump trucks than were normally required, but all efforts were unsuccessful. This item of equipment is considered of such primary importance, not only from the construction angle, but for general utility purposes to facilitate camp operations, it is suggested and urgently recommended that efforts be made to make available for the National Guard of this State four (4) llJ2-ton dump trucks.

In 1938 when the Guilderland Rifle Range site was secured, it was the intention that this range provide a location for firing instruction for troops from Albany, replacing the Rensselaerwyck Rifle Range which had been used by these troops. Troops from Troy, Schenectady, and Cohoes were trained on the Karner Rifle Range. During 19,39 a higher powered ammunition was issued and higher powered rifles developed. Also the War Department changed the requirements for firing qualifications. These three changes have made the Karner Range unusable from the safety angle and have necessitated its abandonment. The result is that the Guilderland Rifle Range must also be used by the troops from Troy, Schenectady and Cohoes, increasing the number of troops using the range from 450 to approximately 1,400. In order to meet this increased use of the Guilderland Rifle Range, it is necessary that the range be extended from 10 to at least 25 rifle targets and that a suitable range house for storage of targets, ammunition, supplies, and so forth be built. Without increase of targets, extension of firing points, and necessary storage facilities, it will be physically impossible to train the troops of Albany, Troy, Schenectady, and Cohoes as required by the War Department. To provide this necessary expansion, it is urgently recommended that an additional appropriation of $15,000 be made. In addition to the above, camp grounds are provided in the State for cavalry, artillery, and air service on Federal reservations at Great Bend, Oswego, and Fishers Island.

From time to time during the year changes in construction of several armories were made in order to provide storage space for motor vehicles. It is my intention, as funds are available, to provide adequate storage space in all armories for motor vehicles. In the past the Federal Inspection reports have criticised many of our armories on account of the unsafe storage facilities for small arms. I have directed that wooden gun racks be removed from the armories as soon as possible and the issue arms racks be substituted and enclosed in heavy metal cases. It is hoped in a few years to have all the old-fashioned arms cases removed from our ~rmories!

Bureau

of War Records

The activities of this Bureau are those described in the report of this Bureau for the year 1935. The Bureau is still engaged in the additional undertaking of compiling World War records by counties. The work has been completed up to the letter W. Bureau of World War Records Under constitutional authority a bonus for New York Veterans of the World War was provided pursuant to chapter 19, Laws of 1924. The sum of $45,000,000 was realized from the sale of bonds authorized by law, this sum having been augmented by premiums amounting to $6-59,565, the latter. sum also being appropriated for bonus purposes under chapter 208, Laws of 1925. A commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, the Comptroller, the Treasurer and the Attorney-General, administered the disbursement until April 22, 1926, when its functions were absorbed by The Adjutant General. Each eligible veteran, upon application, received the sum of $10 for each month of service with the colors, between April 6, 1917 and November 11, 1918, with $150 as the maximum payment.

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

Under chapter 209, Laws of 19'25, an additional appropriation of $2,500,000 was made. Chapter 26, Laws of 1925, added the next of kin to those who were killed or died in the service or prior to February 28, 1924, as eligible to receive the bonus. Under chapter 267, Laws of 1926, a further appropriation of $300,000 was approved. Chapter 676, Laws of 1931, extended the time for filing claims to July 1, 1932, and made an appropriation of $250,000. At an extraordinary session of the Legislature in 1931 to carry out the provisions of an act creating a temporary emergency relief administration, the sum of $584,000 was appropriated by chapter 799' for the payment of bonuses, $30,000 of which was made available for administration expenses. Under chapter 120, Laws of 1933, an additional appropriation of $90,000 was made for bonus payments and $25,000 for administrative expenses. The unexpended balances of these appropriations were reappropriated each year by the Legislature and were made available in the Executive Budget of 1936, chapter 15, Laws of 1936. This chapter amended by a substitute bill, chapter 360, Laws of 1936, eliminated these reappropriations and refunded the unexpended balances amounting to $72,824.92 to the General Fund. By chapter 875, Laws of 1936, '$10~000 of this refunded amount was reappropriated and made available for one year beginning July 1, 1936. This action of the Legislature automatically closed the Bureau on June 30, 1937, and suspended the payment of bonuses on that date. Chapter 40, Laws of 1937, reappropriated $200 of the unexpended balance of the appropriation made by chapter 875, Laws of 1936, for incurred liabilities and created the Bureau of World War Records in the Adjutant General's office to take over the records of the Bonus Bureau. Chapter 700, Part 2, Laws of 1938, appropriated $1,111.33 for the payment of suspended claims which had been approved during the previous year and chapter 460, Part 2, Laws of 1939, appropriated $1,045.67 to pay claims approved during the year of 1938. During the operation of the Bureau there has been appropriated for bonus purposes $49,420,722 out of which there has been paid in bonuses and administrative costs the sum of $49,347,892.42 and in a refund to the General Fund, $72,829.58. Under the original law no claims could be received after May 1, 1927. The Bureau reopened April 23, 1931, and closed for the receipt of applications July 1, 1932, during which period 10,135 new claims were received. The total claims received was 427,799 or 82% of the 518,864 veterans credited to the State. Of the number received, 9,242 or .0215% were rejected as not entitled to the bonus. There are still 4,909 or .0115% of the claims received awaiting action by the Bureau due to the delay of the veteran in supplying required data. Of the total received 413,648 or 96% were paid at an average cost of $1.85 per claim. Of the total veterans entitled to make application 91,065 or 18% failed to make a claim although 14,618 of this number applied for blanks. Their requests, however, had to be denied owing to the fact that they applied after the time limit, July 1,

1932. The average payment per claim was $117.2,3 or 78% of the maximum amount allowed, $150. Of the total claims received, 25,257 applicants were not credited by the authorities in Washington as having enlisted from the State of New York. Of the claims awiting action there are being received from time to time letters from the applicants supplying sufficient data to warrant the payment of these applications. During the past year 12 of these applications in the amount of $1,433 have been approved for payment. These claims have been segregated and a request has been made to the Legislature for an appropriation sufficient to pay them. During the operation of the Bureau many activities developed other than the payment of the bonus. Being an office of record constant inquiries are being received from governmental, civic and veteran agencies and private sources relative to pertinent information regarding the serice of veterans and certified copies of papers submitted with bonus applications for use in furthering claims for compensation, tax exemption, civil service examinations, retirements, promotions and for other and varied purposes. From experience with the records of the Civil and Spanish Wars, which are still active, undoubtedly the records of this Bureau will remain in demand for some time to come.
Veterans and Soldiers Affairs

There are now forty-eight (48) persons receiving retirement pay under the provisions of this law. Two (2) retired employees died during the calendar year 1939. Under section 219-A, Military Law, there are four (4) retired officers of the New York National Guard, former employees of this Division, and two (2) widows of deceased officers of the N ew York National Guard who are now receiving compensation under the provisions of this section of the law.

Motor Vehicle Accidents and Olaims Resulting Therefrom

Sixty-two (62) motor vehicle accidents incidental to the training of the National Guard were reported to this office during the past year. Of that number fifty-two (52) were in connection with the conduct of the 1st Army Maneuvers and Field Training at State camps, and ten (10) were in connection with the Armory Training. As a result of these accidents twenty-five (25) claims for property damage were filed, and after considerable administrative action were disposed of as follows: Those incidental to the 1st Army Maneuvers, thirteen (13) in number, were referred to Headquarters, First Army, for appropriate action; those incidental to Field Training at State camps, eight (8) in number, are now being processed by boards composed of National Guard officers and will eventually be forwarded to the National Guard Bureau for settlement, and those incidental to Armory Training, four (4) in number, are a State liability and were referred to the Court of Claims for appropriate action.
VETERANS' RELIEF

Under chapter 589, Laws of 1922, a commission to be known as the New York Veterans' Relief Commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, to be chairman thereof, the Comptroller and the Attorney-General, was created for the purpose of distributing relief to sick and disabled veterans of the World War. For the purpose of administering this act $1,000,000 was appropriated. Under chapter 326, Laws of 1923, this commission was abolished

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

and a separate bureau was created in the office of The Adjutant General to be known as the Bureau for the Relief of Sick and Disabled New York Veterans. Under this chapter an additional million dollars ($1,000,000) was approved. Of this total $68,891.29 reverted to the State treasury through lack of re-appropriation. Under chapter 605, Laws of 1928, chapter 41 of the Laws of 1909, entitled "An act in relation to the militia, constituting chapter 36 of the Consolidated Laws," was amended by adding Article I-A, thus establishing the administration of relief as part of the Military Law. In order to carry out the provisions of the above law the Legislature under chapter 708, Laws of 19'31, appropriated $75,000. In 1932, $100,000 was obtained through the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration from funds appropriated under chapter 567. In 1933, $50,000 was appropriated under chapter 120 and in 1934, an appropriation of $200,000 was received from the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration from funds appropriated under chapter 273 and $50,000 from General Funds under chapter 20. Under chapter 930, Laws of 1939, $50,000 was appropriated, making the gross total available of $2,456,169.71. Since the institution of the Bureau many thousand requests for relief from sick or disabled, needy, unemployed, honorably discharged veterans of the World War have been received. These applications were thoroughly investigated and a majority of them were rejected due to the fact that they did not come within the meaning of our law. However, to date 12,139 cases were approved of which 10,554 are active or have been paid the maximum allowed under our law and 1,585 are in our rejected files for various reasons. Actual payments for relief of sick and disabled veterans to date amount to $2,079',004.59. Expenses of relief commissioners and administration to date are $328,308.35. The unexpended balance is $48,856.77, of which $630.76 is the balance in chapter 273, Laws of 1934 and $48,226.01 in chapter 930, Laws of 1939. The bureau is represented by a resident commissioner in each assembly district throughout the State. The commissioner makes the necessary investigation to determine the eligibility of an applicant to be given relief. He prepares all papers, makes the relief payments, renders the periodical reports and returns and discharges the multiplicity of duties that must necessarily result from the position. These gentlemen serve without pay; they give their time and efforts to the work without recompense and altogether are rendering a service to the State of a high patriotic value. Recruiting Bureau The activity of this Bureau increased considerably during the last three months of the year due to the requirements of the War Department that the strength of the New York National Guard be

GENERAL

increased by 4,632 enlisted men. About 50% of this increase has been realized to date as only those men who come up to the high standard of requirements for enlistment in the New York National Guard are being accepted. Bureau of Files, Mail and Distribution During the year there were 745 issues of publications on training, army regulations and other pamphlets received from the Federal government by this Bureau and distributed to the units of the National Guard of this State, in addition to the necessary Federal forms required by the National Guard. There were also caused to be printed and distributed all State forms used by the National Guard in addition to the General Orders, Bulletins and Training Circulars originating in this office and in the office of t.he Commanding General, New York National Guard. Conclusion In closing, I wish to express my deep appreciation of your valuable guidance as Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Naval Forces of the State of New York and to assure you the Military and Naval Forces of the State were never in a higher state of efficiency. Respectfully submitted, WALTER G. ROBINSON,

Brigadier General, The Adjutant General.

APPENDIX A

Report of the Commanding

General, New York National Guard

In accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 6, Regulations No. 80, I have the honor to submit the following report on the affairs of the New York National Guard for the calendar year 1939.

1. General. Due to world-wide conditions, the past year has been a most active one for our State military forces. There has not been a time since the conclusion of the World War that more effort has been demanded of the New York National Guard, but the promptitude and precision with which our organizations have met the additional requirements, most of them on very short notice, and the character of performance in all of its activities, substantiates my conclusion that the general condition of our forces is most satisfactory. This conclusion, based on extensive personal observation of our troops in the field and in their armories, is well borne out by the reports of the Regular Army inspectors on the annual armory and field training activities, as also the reports of regular and special inspections made by staff officers at this headquarters. Steady and definite progress has been made, and I am convinced that the year 1939 closes with the Guard at its highest state of efficiency and readiness for active service at any time since its reorganization in 1919. True it is that there are deficiencies, but save for the lack of sufficient modern equipment, these shortcomings are all of a minor nature, which are bound to exist with the large annual turnover in enlisted personnel. Later in this report I will remark in detail on the demands and accomplishments of the Guard during the year.

2. Strength. At the start of the year the maximum strength allotted by the War Department was 21,041 officers and enlisted men. Effective October 1 this was increased, by Executive Order of the President, to 25,624, the increase of 4,583 being all in enlisted strength, to the infantry, field artillery, coast artillery, engineers, cavalry, and signal troops. The average monthly strength during this entire period was 20,654, as compared to 20,351 in 1938. The highest point reached in the year was 21,910 in the month of October, and the lowest 20,416 during .January. The usual restriction of 60 days' armory drill service prior to attendance at field training remained in effect for the summer training only, and was lifted for the additional fall and winter training now being concluded.

GENERAL'S

REPORT

3. Attendance. The average attendance at armory drills for the year was 91.01 % as eompared with 91.5% in 1938, and is considered most satisfactory. The general average is well above the satisfactory minimum of 85%, established over a period of years, and compares most favorably with any other state in the Union. The percentage of attendance at summer field training, which, as your Excellency will recall, included the 1st Army Maneuvers at Plattsburg, was 95,01 %, an excellent figure, surpassed only in 1938, when 96.19% was reached. Every organization in the Guard, except the 107th Infantry, exceeded 90%. Sixteen of our organizations, excluding the small headquarters companies and detachments, had 95% or better. The additional seven days' field training hurriedly authorized by the War Department, and which st.arted on November 4, is about 85% completed. Full figures, therefore, cannot be given at this time. However, the attendance to date indicates a percentag~ of about 85%, which is 25% greater than that which was anticipat.ed by the War Department. These attendance figures, both in the armory and in the field, are most expressive of the high morale existing in our forces. The Colonel Frank H. Hines Attendance Trophy, which is awarded annually to the organization producing the highest percentage present at armory drills, field training, and the annual inspection, was won this year, for the second time, by the 106th Field Artillery (155 m.m. howitzer), stationed in Buffalo, N. Y., with an aggregate percentage of 97.74, a new high mark in this competition. The three next highest organizations were the 212th Coast Artillery (Anti-Aircraft), with a mark of 97,20% ; the 102nd Quartermaster Regiment, 97.150/0, and the 121st Cavalry, 96.68%. These remarkable attendances, spread over a full year, are a splendid tribute to the officers and men whose enthusiasm, esprit de corps, self-sacrifice, and devotion to duty has made these achievements possible. 4. Organization. The War Department prescribed a reorganization in our infantry regiments, effective September 30, which abolished all howitzer companies and transferred the enlisted personnel to existing regimental headquarters companies. This transfer provided for the organization of the new anti-tank platoon in such companies, and increased the number of men assigned to the communications platoon. Seven of our ten infantry regiments absorbed this change at home stations, but in two cases the old howitzer companies became "split" units (anti-tank platoons) at their former company armories, viz.: in the 10th Infantry at Catskill and in the 105th Infantry at Whitehall. Another recent change in organization is in the cavalry. The War Department has authorized the formation of the 21st Cavalry Division, to include the cavalry of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. Only a certain number of units have been authorized for activation. To New York authority was given to organize the Headquarters Troop and Signal Troop of the Division.

OF THE

COMMANDING

After careful consideration of all the factors entering into the problem, such as armory facilities, officer and recruiting problems, etc., it was decided to effect the organization of these two new units at West New Brighton, Staten Island, New York City, and to station them in the same armory with the Headquarters Troop, 51st OavaIry Brigade. These troops have been organized and accepted for Federal recognition, the Division Headquarters Troop on December 4, and the Signal Troop on December 13, last. Later, and probably during the coming year, the Headquarters of the 21st Cavalry Division will be activated, in which event the Division Commander and certain of his staff officers will be allotted to New York. In the meantime, Brigadier General N. H. Egleston, presently commanding the 51st Cavalry Brigade, will have the new Divisional troops attached to his command. During the past two years there has been much discussion and, recently, quite some extensive experimentation by the Regular Army with a new type of infantry division, now known as the "triangular" division. This is a smaller division in strength, but relatively heavier in fire power, and vastly more mobile than the recognized rectangular division. 'The War Department has recently assembled these new-type divisions at various training centers, mostly in the south, and in the next six months will put them to every known test outside of actual combat to determine their effectiveness. From informal advices which I have received from authoritative sources, I do not anticipate any major changes in the present National Guard division. Changes in the nominal designation of certain companies of the infantry complement will undoubtedly be made to conform to new arms and .armament in process of manufacture, but no organic change is expected. During the past year the following officers of the New York National Guard were retired by reason of having reached the statutory age of 64 years: Chaplain (Major) Roelif H. Brooks, 107th Infantry, June 26, 1939. Colonel Charles H. Ellard, 244th Coast Artillery, August 14, 193!}. First Lieutenant Arthur Paladin, 10th Infantry, August 21, 1939. Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick S. Johnson, 108th Infantry, retired as Colonel, Infantry, November 16, 1939, having served more than 25 years. The following-named officers, having served more than 25 years, were, at their own request, placed on the Retired List, in the grade of Brigadier General of the Line: Frederic E. Humphreys, 102nd Engineers (Combat), as of July 7, 1939; and Paul Loeser, 258th Field Artillery (155 m.m. gun), as of November 18, 1939'.

REPORT

In the passing of these two officers from active service, I feel that mention should be made of their value to the New York National Guard. Outstanding in their ability, as indicated by the condition of their regiments, I regret that reasons of health and business required them to request retirement. General Humphreys, by the way, enjoys the high distin~tion of being the first officer of the Army of the United States to fly a military plane; in fact, he is the first military pilot in the world. This fact was recognized and made of record this year at the Wright anniversary exercises held last summer.
Changes in command were: Lieutenant Colonel James Gardiner Conroy, Judge Advocate, 27th Division, was promoted September 27, 1939, to Colonel, Infantry, and assigned to command the 71st Infantry vice Colonel George F. Terry, who resigned September 23, 1939. Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm W. Force, 244th Coast Artillery (155 m.m. gun), was promoted Colonel, Coast Artillery, September 18, 1939, and assigned to command that organization vice Colonel Charles H. Ellard, retired for age August 14,1939'. Lieutenant Colonel Gilbert E. Ackerman, 101st Cavalry, promoted to Colonel, Cavalry, December 12, 1939, and assigned to command that organization vice Colonel James Redmond Howlett, who died October 9, 1939. Changes in the State Staff and Headquarters 27th Division were: Lieutenant Colonel Vincent A. 0 'Neill, Finance Officer, 27th Division, resigned May 8, 1939. Captain George G. Berry, 102nd Quartermaster Regiment, was promoted to Major, Adjutant General's Department, June 1, 19'39, and assigned to the Adjutant General's Section, Headquarters 27th Division. Major Edgar T. Beamish, Judge Advocate General's Department, State Staff, was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the same service, and assigned as Judge Advocate, 27th Division, on November 29, 1939, vice Conroy, promoted. . First Lieutenant Richard W. Waters, Aide, was transferred to the Adjutant General's Section, 27th Division, on June 1, 1939. Second Lieutenant John J. Mullens, Infantry, O.R.C., was commissioned in t.he same grade and arm, National Guard, and assigned as Aide to the Division Commander November 29, 1939. Captain Charles L. Drake, 10th Infantry, was commissioned in the same grade in the Judge Advocate General's Department, and assigned to the State Staff January 21, 19'39. Captain Harrison W. Gebhardt, Judge Advocate General's Department, State Staff, was promoted to Major in the same branch, and in same assignment, November 29, 1939. David Marcus, a former graduate of the United States Military Academy, and with service in the Regular Army, was commissioned Captain, Judge Advocate General's Department, and assigned to the State Staff November 30, 1939.

Dismissed: Captain Daniel H. Bailey, 369th Infantry, having tendered his resignation while under charges, and the same having been accepted, was discharged without honor and for the good of the service June 18, 1939. D:eaths: It is with deep sorrow that I make of record the passing of Colonel James Redmond Howlett, late of the 101st Cavalry, who died in New York City October 9, 1939. Colonel Howlett's 39 years of service in the Field Artillery and Cavalry of the New York National Guard was all of a distinctive character. He was a most capable officer and a splendid citizen. In his passing we have suffered a real loss. Other than Service Changes: Major General William H. Hay, U. S. A. (Ret.), who had served the State as Superintendent at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., since 1926" voluntarily submitted his resignation effective October 31, last. General Hay's service of more than 13 years at Camp Smith was marked by a keen devotion to his task, well executed. We were fortunate indeed in being able to secure in his place Colonel Hiram W. Taylor, New York National Guard (Ret.), who brings to his office a keen and intimate knowledge of our service and its camp training needs. Colonel George A. Herbst, Infantry, U. S. A., who had been on detail from the War Department as Senior Instructor to our Guard since early in 1937, retired from active service for age on May 31, 1939. During his short but active tour of duty with us, Colonel Herbst earned the admiration and respect of us all. His successor, Colonel John W. Foos, Infantry, is on his second tour or detail with us. Weare fortunate indeed in having him. I would also take this opportunity to make of record the unanimous election of Brigadier General Walter A. DeLamater, Commanding the 87th Infantry Brigade, to the high office of President, National Guard Association of the United States, at their annual national convention held in Baltimore, Md., late in October last. 5. Service in Aid of Civil Authorities. There were no occasions during the past year for the use of military forces in the aid of civil authorities. However, the visit of the King and Queen of England found several of our organizations used in connection with Regular troops, State and local police forces, to guard the rights of way over which their royal train entered and later left the State of New York. The 174th Infantry and 106th Field Artillery, both of Buffalo, furnished the guards for the entering route, June 7, from Suspension Bridge to the Pennsylvania line, while the 71st and l05th Infantry; the 104th, 105th, 156th Field Artillery; 121st Cavalry, 102nd Quartermaster, and the 102nd Medical Regiments assisted in the protection of the homeward bound route from Poughkeepsie to Whitehall, where contact was made with the 26th Infantry of the Regular Army, which continued the protection to the Canadian border.

Another distinctive service performed by our forces was the participation by specially selected groups from every organization in the State, in the inaugural exercises at the opening of the New York World's Fair, in April.

6. Training. The training of the New York National Guard, in its dual mission as a State and as a Federal force, will always be the main objective of all our effort. The state of training is being maintained ona uniformly high level. I am pleased indeed to make of record that in all of the reports made by the officers of the Regular Army and by my own inspectors, all of the nearly four hundred units of our Huard were rated satisfactory. The War Department training objectives were in the main the same as outlined in detail in my 1938 report to your Excellency. There is no change in the State training objectives. Emphasis in training the small units continues, and, logically, must continue, with the large annual turnover in our enlisted personnel. The squad always has been and always will be the keystone on which well-trained battalions, the tactical unit, are built. Troop leadership, in all echelons, is developed in the armories, on the sand tables, and in the schoolrooms, and is put to its practical test in the field during the summer training periods. The holding of the 1st Army Maneuvers at Plattsburg in August of this year afforded an opportunity to train certain regiments at Camp Smith which ordinarily would take their field training at other centers. The organizations affected were the 244th and 245th Coast Artillery Regiments and the 258th Field Artillery. These organizations were given a well-prepared course in small arms firing (rifle, automatic rifle, machine gun and pistol). Subcalibre practice (37 m.m.) furnished ample opportunity for training in the technique and conduct of fire. In addition, each regiment was required to spend one or more days and nights in the Amawalk training area, leased for the full 19'39 training period by the Federal government. Four infantry regiments-the 10th, 106th, 108th and 369thalso trained at Camp Smith. As in the past, the entire first week was devoted to instruction and record firing for small arms at known distances. Three musketry exercises, using live ammunition, were also included. Four days and three nights of the second week were spent by each organization in the Amawalk area. Bivouacs were established, and a more comprehensive and inclusive series of field exercises, to include the breaking of camp at night, marching under cover of darkness to an assembly area, organizing for an attack, and concluding with the jump-off at dawn, were required of each regiment. The movement of trucks was made, within the area, without lights. The performance of all these exercises was made in a very satisfactory manner, indicative of the fact that our training policies and programs are sound and practicable. During their second week of training, the 258th Field Artillery, which is armed with 155 m.m. guns (weight, 10 tons each), drawn

by 7th-ton prime movers, moved to the Amawalk area by battalion. Each battalion was required to go into position, emplacing its guns ready for fire, under the cover of darkness. It is a difficult and tedious task to accomplish this job in daylight, with armament of this size and weight. The added difficulties of this operation during darkness are obvious. The task was completed by each battalion without accident, and in a praiseworthy manner. One other change in training centers was made. The Army Directive for the Maneuvers required the participation therein by the 101st Cavalry. As your Excellency is aware, the number of horses allotted to a cavalry regiment by the War Department is insufficient to mount all of that organization at one time. Hence, we are required to pool all the animals of our Cavalry Brigade. In order that there would be no delay in making the transfer of horses from one regiment to the other, and also to save transportation charges, permission was secured from the Commanding General, 2nd Corps Area,. to train the 121st Cavalry near Schuyler Falls, in the 1st Army Maneuver area, during the two weeks immediately preceding the Army exercises. None of the permanent camp installations (tent floors, mess halls, lavatories, shower baths, horse sheds, watering troughs, etc.) to which this regiment, heretofore training at Pine Camp, was accustomed, were present. However, they established a splendid camp, and enjoyed and profited greatly by the experience and training accruing therefrom. This camp was taken over by the 10Ist Cavalry for the Maneuvers.

Bri-

Your Excellency will note a provisional setup in the Infantry complement of the 27th Division. Neither the 14th nor the 165th Infantry had had any field training with the combined arms since the World War. This training is essential for the proper development of the combat team (Infantry and Artillery). Both the 106th and 108th Infantry have either trained with artillery or have partici pa ted in previous Army exercises. I t was therefore decided to give the 93rd Brigade the desired opportunity this year. The 27th Division was commanded, during the exercises by Brigadier General N. Hillyer Egleston, 51st Cavwlry Brigade, due to the Army Commander having assigned me to command the II Corps (Tactical). You are, I am sure, aware that the number of troops engaged in these exercises was the largest concentration of troops in this country since the war. The number of New York National Guard troops participating was also the largest number we have turned out in one locality-at Qne time. The State's allotment of equipment, material and motor transportation furnished by the War Department, was taxed to its limit. Planning the numerous and diversified details for this participation started in January. Many obstacles were encountered from time to time but each of our organizations left their home stations on schedule time for their Maneuver Area concentration center. Motorized organizations were moved over the roads, others by train. Movements into the area, and at the conclusion of the exercises, to home stations, were accomplished with precision and dispatch. I do not intend to go into a detailed technical description of the Maneuvers. But generally the program showed three exercises (Divisional) the first week. These comprised two involving regiment against regiment, featuring offensive and defensive combat and one exercise of brigade against brigade. 'The second week started off with the I Corps (New England) en!!aging the II Corps (New York and New Jersey). This lasted 1% days and involved night operations. The concluding Maneuver saw the 1st Army (I and II Corps) engaging the Provisional Corps (Regular Army) constituted mainly of the 1st Division and the 7th

Cavalry Brigade (Mechanized). Your Excellency's presence at the Maneuvers furnished, I am sure, an excellent picture of what was hoped for and what was actually accomplished. From the time of arrival of our troops in the area to their departure for home station, I made many visits of inspection and observation of all participating organizations, paying particular attention and devoting most of my time to our New York organizations. What impressed me most, from these observations, was the rapid and marked improvement in the conduct and execution of the multitudinous duties required. I believe, in all modesty, that my 42 years of service, all spent in the active military service of my country or my State, makes me competent to judge the value of our State forces. I feel I would be false to my position and unjust to the forces which I am proud to command were I not to emphatically disagree with the newspaper criticisms, inferred and implied, which appeared in the daily press at the conclusion of these exercises. I fully agree with the writers in their accounts of the woeful lack of modern equipment but I must insist, so far as the troops of the New York National Guard are concerned, and taking into account the fact that these officers and men arrived in the field direct from their offices and work shops, that the zeal, the enthusiasm and the manner of performance given to the many and onerous tasks asked of them, merits the highest commendation. The crossing of the Saranac River in the Corps exercise, involving a forced march at night through thick woods and swamps, by the 93rd Infantry Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Alexander E. Anderson, was splendidly and vigorously executed in a manner you would only expect from seasoned and hardened troops. "The 1st Army Maneuvers have proved that there is a shocking lack in modern arms and equipment, both in the Regular Army and in the National Guard. The Maneuvers have also convinced me, if I had needed any convincing, that the State should be proud of its military forces. The officers and men of the New York National Guard are better trained and nearer ready for combat service than seems" possible within the time and money available, notwithstanding recent inferences by half-baked critics and arm chair strategists. During the past year additional motor equipment for motorized organizations have been received. Recently the 212th Coast Artillery received their full allotment of 12 anti-aircraft guns, and notice of early shipment of 15 60-inch searchlight mobile units complete. Informal advices from the War Department indicate that each organization in the State will, within the next year, and possibly by September 30, 1940, receive its complete allotment of its combat equipment and 50% of its cargo vehicles. Five hundred and eighty-six Garand rifles were issued to the 107th Infantry by the National Guard Bureau within the past month. In order that each of the other nine infantry regiments may familiarize themselves with this new weapon without any delay, I have directed, that 10 of these rifles be sent to each of these organizations.

RE:PORT

Vital industrial and commercial centers of the State are still visibly concerned over the matter of adequate anti-aircraft defense. The additional allotment of anti-aircraft defense units is still a matter for determination by the War Department. In my 1938 report I made mention of disturbed world conditions and the then current emphasis on national defense. Today conditions in other parts of the world impell me to repeat what I said at that time. "In view of the present disturbed world conditions and the current emphasis on national defense, the question of the problems attendant upon possible mobilization of the New York National Guard is one of importance. The National Guard of the United States having been inducted into the Federal service, and losing thereby its State status, the responsibility of the several states under the statutes to execute the law, suppress disorder and protect life and property, either by expansion of their police forces, or creation of other State forces, obviously would be greatly extended. In this eventuality, it is not improbable that certain utilities and installations within the State, both private and public, might assume a Federal character because of their importance to the National defense, as, for example, the State-wide transportation, power and communications systems. The protection of such utilities or installations, while primarily a State responsibility, might be undertaken by. the Federal government with Federal forces, if the protection afforded by the State is deemed inadequate. Any decision in this matter would, of course, rest between the State authorities and the War Department. While the organization of State forces in time of war is a matter which pertains entirely to the individual states, it may be noted that there is no provision of existing law which permits the issue of Federal arms and equipment to such state forces. It is possible, however, that in an emergency Congress might enact legislation similar to that of 1917, which authorized the loan of arms and equipment to state forces. Members of state forces within the ages prescribed by any Selective Service Law are liable, as individuals, to induction int.o the armed forces of the United States. It is a problem of the State, therefore, in organizing its own forces, to insure that they would not be depleted and disorganized by the possible requirements of Selective Service. In addition to such duties as protection of public utilities, it should also be considered that these state forces might possibly be used for other duties, such as the instruction of the populace in defense against hostile aircraft, including anti-aircraft warning nets, or duties in the decontamination of gassed areas. Such plans for internal security within the State in the event of the war would, it is believed, require no radical change in the existing plan for the organization of the New York Guard, as now provided for in the State

United States Military Academy, were won by Private John J. Kelly, Jr., Btry. "C," 156th Field Artillery, 95%, and Private John R. Schaltz, Btry. "B, " 212th Ooast Artillery, 92%. These two soldiers were also successful in the subsequent National Guard Competitive Examination held last month, and were selected, with six others, by your Excellency to enter the final competition for appointment in March, 1940.

Additional Training. The War Department has authorized two armory drills each week during the period October 17, 1939-January 31, 1940. All of our organizations have heartily complied with the wishes of the War Department for this extra training. However, it is felt that this extra armory drill each week will result in a slight falling off in attendance. Many of our enlisted men, particularly in the large cities, are completing their education by night courses at various schools, academies, and colleges. They had previously adjusted their scheduled school attendance to permit of their presence one night each week at drill. The added night of duty disturbs that schedule, and they have been advised, if incapable of effecting an adjustment, they will be excused from the extra drilL This is only just and equitable; the extra requirement will cease on January 31, 1940. On the same date, October 17th, the Adjutant General issued his General Orders No. 13, prescribing seven days' additional field training. This field training could be taken in one or more days, provided seven days was not exceeded, and provided further that the additional training was concluded by January 31, 1940. Plans for this extra training were rushed. I felt that we should take full advantage of possible favorable weather conditions prior to December 15. As a result, our first units started this training November 4, and today we have completed this training for all our organizations, except the 14th Infantry, which specially requested the dates December 26-31, inclusive, and the 27th Division Headquarters-87th and 93rd Infantry Brigade Headquarters and Headquarters companies; the 52nd Field Artillery Brigade Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, and the 51st Cavalry Brigade Headquarters Troop. The training prescribed for these Headquarters groups involves the conduct of a command post exercise, with the major portion of the work to be accomplished under fairly suitable cover at Camp Smith, and will start December 16, 1939. In the conduct of this extra field training, I purposely left the decision to regimental commanders as to whether they would take it in a succession of weekends or in a continuing period of seven days. The 14th, 108th, 165th, 174th, and 369th Infantry Regiments elected the continuous period, and all others have preferred the various dates. My reasons for permitting this selection by organization commanders was impelled by my judgment that they were in a much better position to decide which form would be more beneficial, taking all conditions, particularly the one of civil employment of their personnel, into account.

Most of the training centers available to us would have been ideal in the summer and early fall, but climatic conditions at this time of the year demanded that heated quarters for sleeping, messing, and bathing be provided. Winter underwear, gloves, etc., had to be secured. Army red tape on the issue of the latter had to be cut. But by hard, long, and diligent effort our plans crystallized and, as I stated before, training actually started with the 174th Infantryon November 4 in Buffalo. Training inspection of practically all organizations have been made by myself and members of my staff. Much good has come from this extra work, and once again I am most happy to report that the officers and enlisted men of our Guard met this sudden and added duty with energy and enthusiasm. In providing funds for this extra duty, the War Department estimated we would have an attendance of 60%. While complete figures are not available at this time, several of our regiments bettered 90%, and I believe our average attendance for the entire State will approximate 85%. In view of the additional work impinged on our forces, I have suspended, for the time being, the usual requirements of 20 hours' correspondence course work. And in order that armory training facilities will not be disturbed, I have issued orders limiting rentals of armories to one night per week, unless it can be clearly shown that such rental will not interfere with proper training. It was also necessary to suspend administrative inspections by members of my staff during November and December.

Chemical Warfare. No change was made in the general plan of training in chemical warfare. The Division Gas Officer supervised, and organization gas officers conducted, the training in this activity both in the armory and in the field. An insufficient supply of masks still prevents actual training of troops while wearing the mask.
Prior to field training this year, a conference of all chaplains was held in New York City. This conference was well attended, and resulted in a comprehensive program of athletic, recreational, and religious activities. At Camp Smith full advantage was taken of the facilities for baseball, track, swimming, tennis, soft ball and handball. Moving pictures were shown, free of admission charges, three nights each week, and the theatre was made available for boxing, wrestling, and amateur vaudeville the balance of the week.

Athletics and Recreation.

OF THE COMMANDING

There was not much time, due to the time-consuming schedule prescribed by the 1st Army Commander, for recreation in the Plattsburg area, but organization transportation assisted materially in aiding our troops to enjoy some swimming at the Valcour Beach in Lake Champlain. Religious services were conducted each Sunday. Once more are we indebted to the Jewish Welfare Board of New York City for their assignment each week of a chaplain for services at Camp Smith. Due to the limited number of troops training at Camp Smith, this year's attendance of visitors did not approach that of 1938. However, the middle Sunday of the training period of the 36.gth Infantry again produced the largest single day's attendance. Despite the rain during the forenoon, and practically up to the hour of your arrival, more than 25,000 enthusiastic and eager friends of the regiment were present to greet you. Our facilities were taxed practically to the limit, but no serious accidents or disorders were noticed or reported. Traffic into eamp suffered the same delays as in ,previous years, and this condition is again mentioned in the hope that my request for a new entrance road into camp will receive favorable consideration.

8. Permanent Plant. With the recent increase in strength allotted to the New York National Guard, and the expect.ed receipt, within the next 10 months, of a comparatively large amount of new armament and motor vehicles, prompt and serious consideration must be given to the proper housing of both personnel and material. I anticipate that The Adjutant General will cover this matter in detail in his report to you. So far as the City of New York is concerned, I have personally conferred with Mayor LaGuardia and his personal representatives in the Armory Board. The Mayor is fully alive to the situation, and has promised assistdnce. A survey of all armories within the city is being made at this time by the Board and a member of my staff. Plans and specifications for immediate temporary relief in one organization have been drawn, and bids have been invited. Every effort to ameliorate existing conditions and to provide at least temporarily for the immediate future is being made. However, the fact remains that a number of our armories in New York City are outmoded and inadequate for their present requirements. They will have to be replaced. I would prefer not to go into detail on this subject at this time, but would rather take this matter up with you in the very near future, after the results of the present survey are known. Camp Smith. State appropriations for Camp Smith were very limited this year. However, funds sufficient to lay concrete floors and to provide new tent frames for my staff officers were provided. The pressing needs at Camp Smith are a new lavatory and bath for. the staff ~nd R~g~llar Ar,my officers who remain at Camp SmIth the entIre traInIng perIOd, the new road into camp the resurfacing of roads, the replacement of the range telephon~ sys-

tem. Considerable clearing of fire brakes will have to be done in the hills this fall, if we are to guard against forest fires. I believe my budget requests for these various items were modest and fair, and I trust they will be allowed. Pine Camp. No troops trained at Pine Camp in 1939. However, it is planned to operate this training center for its normal period in 1940. The last Congress made a considerable appropriation for camp construction throughout the United States, and we are hoping that funds will be allotted to provide a camp for one infantry brigade-in addition to its present facilities. State funds sufficient to meet the costs of lighting during the period September 15-J une 15,will again be necessary this year. Fort Ontario. This training center was not used by our troops in 1939. The maintenance of this camp, being a Federal reservation, is a responsibility of the Federal government. Administration. Reports which are now reaching me indicate that the inventories of Federal property, started in September and now being concluded, show a healthier condition in this respect than has ever been reached in my memory. Improvement' in the handling and accounting of all funds, whether Federal, State, organizational, or civil, is most apparent. The preparation and maintenance of records of all kinds is nearer standardization. In this field of administration our forces have kept pace with the progress made in other departments. 9. Recommendations. I have discussed the matter of appropriations needed for the operations of National Guard headquarters at the budget hearing and elsewhere in this report. However, as I stated in 1938, the big need is the enlargement or amplification of our training center at Camp Smith by the acquisition of a suitable site, sufficient in size to permit of the conduct of field exercises to include regiments and brigades. Prior to the start of field training this year, the National Guard Bureau reluctantly provided funds sufficient to lease the Amawalk Nursery for the purpose. Full use was made of this tract, and very creditable results were obtained. The Bureau cannot be depended upon to furnish these funds annually. I strongly recommend the purchase of a desirable site for our purpose within a reasonable distance of Camp Smith. In closing, I do want to express to you the deep gratitude and sincere appreciation of myself and of the New York National Guard as a whole for your kindly interest, staunch support, and sympathetic understanding of our service. I also want to thank the Legislature for its aid and assistance. I am grateful to The Adjutant General and the United States Property and Dis'bursing Officer for their hearty co-operation and helpfulness. I am greatly indebted to that splendid corps of instructors detailed to us by the War Department. I sincerely trust that the result of our efforts and the improvement we hope and strive for will insure and merit a continuance of this most desired support. WILLIAM N. HASKELL, Major General.

APPENDIXB

The Report of the Commanding Officer, New York Naval Militia

1. The affairs of the New York Naval Militia during the calendar year 19'39 are reported upon in accordance with Par. 6, R-80, Regulations for the Military Forces of the State of New York.

2. Strength. During the calendar year 1939 the strength of the New York Naval Militia has been satisfactory in all respects. On December 1, 1938 there were 1,994 officers and men in our organizations throughout the State. As of Decmber 1, 19'39, 2,052 officers and men are on the roUs. This reflects some increase at the end of the period. The highest enrollment during the period of this report occurred during the month of May, at which time there were 2,062 officers and men enrolled. Since the declaration of war abroad there have been many applicants for enlistment and the various unit commanders are exercising considerable care in the selection of the best material from among these applicants. 3. Attendance. The average attendance at armory drills during the year 1939' was most satisfactory. Attendanee at drills is a factor of considerable importance in determining the efficiency of the New York Naval Militia in its Federal status, and in consequence, all organizations are putting forth their best efforts to increase the average attendance at weekly drills. 4. Organization. No changes of consequence in the administration of the commands have occurred during the year 1939, with the exception of the appointment of Lieutenant Wm. A. Sessions to command of the 9th Battalion in Buffalo, as successor to Lieutenant E. J. Lebherz, who removed from that city to Washington, D. C. The Navy Department has elected to put in force certain transfers from the Active List to the Honorary Retired List of officers who have reached the limit in age-in-grade. It is not believed at this time that this policy will have any serious effect on the various organizations of the New York Navall\'filitia. A few of our junior officers have volunteered for active duty during the period of a limited emergency and have been ordered to vessels of the United States Fleet. They have been placed on leave of absence from their stations and divisions and it is needless to point out that this extended tour of duty will result in a training which will be highly beneficial to their commands upon their return. 5. Training Duty. During the summer period all organizations of the New York Naval Militia performed duty in battleships and destroyers of the Training Squadron under Federal orders. These units visited various ports on the .... L\.tlantic Seaboard during the

training cruise. Gunnery exercises were conducted and excellent results were obtained. The gun crew of the 11th Division, 9th Battalion, achieved the highest score in gunnery and was, therefore, awarded the trophy for gunnery efficiency, as provided from the Josephthal Endowment Fund for such purposes. A number of officers and men performed training duty without pay during the calendar year of 1939. Federal appropriations were insufficient to provide pay and allowances for our entire strength and it is indeed gratifying to have officers and men who are willing and able to obtain training in a non-pay status. Eighty officers and 1,587 men participat.ed in training duty with Federal pay and allowances. The Naval Militia Marine Battalion performed its field training at the Marine Base at Quantico, Va. 'The attendance of this organization for training was highly satisfactory.

6. Small Arms Practice. This exercise was conducted on the Rifle Ranges at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., Fort Niagara, N. Y., Stony Point, N. Y., and at the Penfield Hange, Hochester, N. Y. Figure of Merit prizes for efficiency in Small Arms were awarded as follows:
1st Prize: 2nd Prize: 3rd Prize: 15th Division, Oswego N. Y. 31st Division, New Rochelle, N. Y. 11th Division, 9th Battalion, Buffalo, N. Y.

A new high record for qualified marksmen was established this year. Five hundred and seventy-four officers and men qualified for and have been awarded Marksman decorations. During Match competition a number of officers and men qualified as Expert Riflemen and Sharpshooters. Two officers and two enlisted men were assigned to the U. S. Naval Reserve, Third Naval District Rifle Team and served three weeks at Camp Perry, Ohio, where they attended the Small Arms Firing School and participated in various National Matches. For a number of years the N. Y. Naval Militia has sent its own team to the National Matches but for the first time the War Department. was unable to authorize the participation of a rifle team in Naval Militia status because appropriations for such teams were not available. The Naval Militia Brigade Match held at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., was won for the fourth consecutive year by the 31st Division, New Rochelle, N. Y. The Interstate Small Arms Trophy Match sponsored by the U. S. Naval Reserve Officers' Association, Third Naval District, was again won by the New York State Team. Proficiency in the ase of Small Arms showed satisfactory improvement in aU commands. Through the courtesy of the Commanding General, 2nd Corps Area, U. S. Army, arrangements for the conduct of our Small Arms exercises at Fort Niagara and Stony Point were satisfactorily provided. The United States Army personnel on duty at these posts were most courteous and co-operative in connection with all details pertaining to arrangements.

7. Week-End Cruises. During the summer months week-end cruises were held in various types of vessels and participation in this activity was most satisfact.ory. These cruises are performed in a voluntary status without payor allowances and it is believed both men. and officers are benefited by this activity.

8. Athletics. Inter-divisional and inter-organization competitions continue to be of interest and are participated in by all organizations. The annual Whaleboat Race for the R. A. C. Smith Trophy, sponsored by the U. S. Naval Reserve Officers' Association, Third Naval District Chapter, was rowed in the Hudson River on 24 June and won by the 27th Division, 8th Battalion, N. J. N. M.; second place was won by the 31st Division, N. Y. N. M. This race is open to competitors from Naval Militia and Naval Reserve units in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. 9'. Naval Academy Appointments. A competitive examination was held during the month of April, 1939, and 50 appointments to the U. S. Naval Academy were won nationally by the Naval Reserve-Naval Militia. The New York Naval Militia was successful in winning 12 of the appointments, some of which were made under the provisions of the Naval Reserve Act and others by Congressional appointments. rrhe following enlisted men of the New York Naval l\'1ilitia were the successful candidates during the year 1939:
Alfred James Bridges, S.2c., 2nd Division, 1st Battalion. Robert Edward McLeod, S.2c., 2nd Division, 1st Battalion. Franklin P. MacLellan, A.S., 4th Division, 1st Battalion. William A. Racette, A.S., 7th Division, 2nd Battalion. Charles A.Taylor, Jr., A.IS., 7th Division, 2nd Battalion. Leonard George Graning, S.2c., 9th Division, 3rd Battalion. Eric Ischinger, Jr., A.S., 10th Division, 31'0.Battalion. James E. JYIaher, Jr., A.S., 16th Division, 4th Battalion. Adam Louis 'Vozniak, A.S., 12th Division. James Winson rraylor, A.S., 13th Division. Robert Hayward Twisdale, A.S., 13th Division. Leonard Theodore Kreidler, A.S., 330. Division.

10. General Efficiency of the Brigade. The report of the Federal Inspection Board reflects definite improvement in the standing of the New York Naval Militia in national competitive standing. The 6th Division of the 2nd Battalion, Brooklyn, was rated eighth highest standing in the United States and as a result thereof stood highest in the State of New York. This unit was awarded the Josephthal Trophy for Naval efficiency the year 1939, valued at $150. Based on the calculations of an impartial Board of Officers, Company" C," 1st Marine Battalion, Rochester, N. Y., was awarded the J osephthalTrophy for Marine efficiency during the year 1939', valued at $75.

11. Armories. As a result of the transfer of the 32nd Division from Ossining, N. Y., to Yonkers, N. Y., considerable improvement in the quart.ering of this command will obtain and it is believed will, in due course, increase the general efficiencyof this unit. New Naval Militia armories are still most desirable at Buffalo, N. Y., Dunkirk, N. Y., Watertown, N. Y. and at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, N. Y.The City of New York has made some temporary arrangements for the housing of the command at Staten Island which suffered the loss of its floating armory last year. The necessary steps have been taken for the procurement of an appropriation for the erection of a building by the City of New York and it is hoped that in due course, suitable quarters will be erected. 12. I am highly appreciative of the sympathetic interest shown by his Excellency, The Governor, in the wellbeing of the Naval Militia. I wish to express appreciation for the co-operation this office has received from The Adjutant General, the legislative bodies, the Director of the BUdget, and other officers of the State with whom we have had occasion to come in contact during the period of this report. F. R. LACKEY, Rear Admiral, N.Y.N.M.

Report of The Adjutant General

December 31, 1940. His Excellency Herbert H. Lehman, Governor of the State of New York, Albany, N. Y. Sir:Pursuant to Section 17 of the Military Law, as the Adjutant General, and, under the provisions of Section 42 of Chapter 78 of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York, as Head of the Division of Military & Naval Affairs of the Executive Department, I submit herewith my annual report concerning the administration of that Division for the year 1940. Federal inductions.- The past year has been the most eventful one for the Division of Military & Naval Affairs since the World War, 1917-1919, when the full complement of National Guard and Naval Militia troops of the State was called into United States service. Under date of August 27, 1940, the 76th Congress, in Public Resolution No. 96, conferred upon the President of the United States authority to order the National Guard into the active military service of the United States for a period of twelve consecutive months, unless sooner relieved. Initial action in this direction ordered the elements of the 44th Division, the 244th and 245th Coast Artillery of the New York National Guard inducted September 16, 1940, the details of which are covered in General Orders No. 35, this office, dated September 4, 1940. Subsequent inductions up to the date of this report covered the 102nd Observation Squadron and 27th Division (complete) on October 15, 1940, pursuant to General Orders No. 36, this office, dated September 26, 1940. General Orders No. 49, this office, dated December 30, 1940, call for the induction of the 101st Antitank Battalion and the 102nd Separate Battalion, Coast Artillery (AA) , on January 6, 1941, and the 369th Coast Artillery (AA) , the 101st Signal Battalion and the 102nd Antitank Battalion on January 13, 1941. The present War Department schedule-which is tentative -contemplates the induction of the 101st Cavalry (H-Mecz), the 186th Field Artillery (155-mm How) and the 134th Medical Regiment on January 27th, 1941; Company A, 191st Tank Battalion, the 71st Field Artillery Brigade Headquarters, the 187thField Artillery and the 258th Field Artillery on February 3, 1941; the Headquarters, 102nd Coast Artillery Brigade Headquarters, the 207th, 209th and 212th Coast Artillery regiments on February 10, 1941, and the 101st Military Police Battalion on March 10, 1941. A good many of the foregoing organizational designations are new since last year and were acquired by conversions and redesignations of existing National Guard units and organization of certain new

Selective Service activities.-Coupled with the preparation of the military and naval forces of the State for induction into United States service, the State was also called upon by the United States government to perform its part in the development and operation of the Selective Training and Service Act as approved September 16, 1940. To assist in the undertaking, certain members of the State Staff and State Detachment have been inducted into the Army of the United States and are now performing appropriate duties in connection with such service.

on a full time basis and directing that the armories hereafter are to be used exclusively for military purposes. Organization of the New York Guard.-Under date of October 25, 1940, General Orders No. 40, this office, was issued by your direction organizing the New York Guard to take the place of the New York National Guard troops which are rapidly being inducted into United States service. The New York Guard is constituted of a Headquarters with five brigades of four infantry regiments each. A unit of not less than one company is provided for each armory in the State. The organization conforms to special tables of organization drawn to accommodate the particular needs of State defense and satisfactory progress is being made in recruiting. Major General William Ottmann, whom you appointed as Commanding General, New York Guard, rendered a report which is published herein in addition to reports of the Commanding General, New York National Guard, and the Commanding Officer, N ew York Naval Militia. Duty in aid of civil authority.-During the year no labor or other situations developed to proportions warranting the calling out of any part of the New York National Guard or Naval Militia in aid of civil authority. Military Staff of the Commander-in-Chief.-Most of the aids on your Excellency's military staff have been inducted into the Army of the United States. Under the provisions of Section 7, M.L., vacancies are thereby created which it is recommended be filled by officers of the N ew York Guard. Changes in Personnel of Office.-During the year the following changes have taken place in the officer personnel of this office: On January 24, 1940, my predecessor, Major General Walter G. Robinson, The Adjutant General of the State of New York, passed on. Just two weeks prior to his death he had been promoted from Brigadier General by your Excellency. The vacancy thereby created was filled by your Excellency's appointment of Colonel Ames T. Brown, Assistant Adjutant General, Executive Officer on February 9, 1940. The post of Assistant Adjutant General, subsequently created, was filled by the appointment on March 11, 1940, of Lieutenant Colonel Frederick A. Thiessen, Executive Officer of the 105th Infantry, New York National Guard; an officer of nearly forty years service in the New York National Guard having originally enlisted in the 6th Separate Company on February 18, 1903, and risen traditionally through enlisted and commissioned ranks to second in command of the old 2nd Regiment, Infantry, now known as the 105th Infantry. Colonel Thiessen served with his regiment in active United States service on the Mexican Border during 1916 and again in 1917-1919, in the World War as Captain on the Regimental staff. At the time of appointment he held the responsible civilian post of Chief of Police of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. Another major change was that of the retirement of Colonel William A. Taylor, Quartermaster Corps, State Staff, Assistant Adjutant General in charge of the State Arsenal. He was

Bureau of Equipment

and Supply

The reorganization, mobilization and induction of the New York National Guard naturally involved a considerable amount of work in addition to the routine of receiving, and distributing supplies which is the normal function of the New York State Arsenal. Added to this was the loss by induction of many members of the Arsenal staff who were members of the New York National Guard, and the fact that the Guard was authorized to expand to Peace Strength on mobilization, which gave it a final strength of 35,294 officers and men. While some of the organizations will not be inducted until after the first of next year (1941) their needs have been anticipated insofar as available stocks permit, and equipment has been and is being shipped them daily. Through close cooperation with supply authorities of the War Department and Regular Army, it has been possible to have all members of the New York National Guard uniformed and basically equipped prior to their departure from their home station. In 1939, the Chief, National Guard Bureau, directed the retention and storage of surplus, excess and obsolete property, with a view to its utilization on M day. His instructions were complied with, and as a result of this prudent policy it was possible not only to uniform our own troops, but to turn over to the New York General Depot some 16,500 overcoats, 10,000 melton and wool coats, and 8,000 breeches. This clothing was all serviceable, but had been rendered surplus or obsolescent by changes in type and material (it was largely of World War type). Considerable quantities of Engineer, Pioneer, Signal Equipment, and Motor Transport parts which had been rendered surplus by the conversion of our organizations, were similarly disposed of. This extra curricula activity obviously' entailed considerable work since it had all to be catalogued, packed and shipped, and the usual documents accompanying a transfer of property had to be prepared. It is believed that a detailed report of the activities of the several sections will prove interesting and indicative of the volume of business transacted.

cidental to repair of vehicles, such as special units installed on vehicles by the Federal government; upholstering, curtain and cover repair for vehicles of all organizations throughout the state, is also a function of the section. The disassembling of two surveyed vehicles and the cleaning and storing of usable parts was accomplished during this period. The unloading of Federal vehicles from freight cars was performed by this section during 1940; 12 2Y2-ton Federal trucks, 12 tractors, 52 Dodges were unloaded. Men were sent to factories to pick up Federal vehicles for delivery to organizations of the New York National Guard. As required by regulations, this section maintains records of all Federal vehicles in the State of New York, as to their identity, serviceability, their location, and the cost of repair maintenance of each vehicle. In addition to the above duties, as in all other shops, a great number of incidental repairs and adjustments are made, such as repairing tubes, changing tires, greasing vehicles, washing and cleaning vehicles, replacing broken glass, tuning engines, etc. Transportation Section Transportation of Federal property required the issue of 1,825 Government Bills of Lading, (a 50% increase over 1939). Troops to and from camps of instruction, special service schools and other activities, used 355 Government Transportation Requests. This section assisted Headquarters, New York National Guard and First Army Headquarters, prior to the maneuvers, in planning the train schedules, freight schedules for military impedimenta and horses, points of entraining and detraining, etc., also, for the troops training at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., and Fort Bragg, N. C. A resume of costs for the maneuvers and the intra-state and inter-state freight shipments is listed below:

The above figures, etc., do not include the normal field training at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., at which camp approximately 5,249 officers and men trained, for which train schedules, etc., had to be planned. Finance Section All Federal funds appropriated for the use of the National Guard are disbursed by the U. S. Property & Disbursing Officer, who is also the contracting officer for the State of New York. The Finance Section makes procurement of all supplies and materials not furnished from stock or Federal depots, and makes all disbursements

mates compiled and submitted by the U. S. Property & Disbursing Officer to the Chief, National Guard Bureau. The Camp Committee of the National Guard Bureau requires the appearance of the U. S. Property & Disbursing Officer before that body to defend all items appearing therein. Official accounting records were subjected to two separate inspections during 1940 by the Inspector General, 2nd Corps Area, and in both cases the audit disclosed the accounting and disbursing routine to be in strict accordance with all existing lawf:;and regulations on the subject.

Records Section This section maintains a complete Stock Record account of Federal and State Property, involving approximately 9,000 vouchers and 13,000 separate items. In addition, records are maintairied of property placed on Inventory and Inspection Reports and Reports of Survey which is ordered sold or exchanged. Complete Stock Record Accounts of all property. held on Memorandum Receipt by responsible organizations and camps are also maintained, involving approximately 50 accounts, 6,750 vouchers, and 13,000 separate items. The preparation of periodical and special reports required by the War Department and National Guard Bureau are also functions of this section, which prepared accounts and assisted Federal Auditors in making a complete audit of the U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer's property accounts. Prior to the. induction of each organization of the New York National Guard into the Federal service, the Supply Officer was furnished with a consolidated statement of his account together with copies of all pending vouchers which might effect such account. In connection with these statements, it is interesting to note that no major difference has appeared in any account, and all are either completed or well on the way to completion; that is, the transfer of the account to Federal accountability, thus relieving the State of New York. Warehouse Section This section is charged with the receipt, warehousing, and shipment of all property. It maintains, by means of Stock Record Cards, a running inventory of all property in its possession. Over 6,000 shipments to camps and organizations were made during 1940, and several thousand incoming shipments were received. These require, in addition to the actual physical handling of the property, the preparation in each case of Tally-in or Tally-out sheets. An idea of the volume and variety of items handled may be gleaned from the following extracts of articles received in 1940. Actually, all these items have since been or are in process of being reshipped to organizations after having been repacked in the desired quantities, sizes, etc., etc.

Salvage Section This section assembles and prepares for sale articles of Federal property which have been directed sold by competent authority. It prepares and circulates the invitations to bid and conducts the sale. Its activities resulted in the recovery of some $22,000.00 during 1940, which funds are immediately turned over to the Treasurer of the United States to whom all checks for such property are made payable by the purchaser. The labor involved in handling these sales is a proper charge against the proceeds, and has been so paid. Building Maintenance Section A cashier's cage has been installed in Room 1, Finance Section, to be used in the safe disbursement of monies. It also provided space for storage and additional protection of the office safe. The fire prevention system was deemed inadequate and steps were taken to acquire twenty (20) additional fire extinguishers, which have been fixed at various points in the building. To further augment this apparatus, sand pails were placed at strategic locations in the building. A fire alarm system has been planned and submitted to the Bureau of Architecture which when installed, will give added protection for the properties stored in the Arsenal. A fire drill organization is now in formation which will add to the further protection of the Arsenal, and the personnel connected therewith.

Directional signs have been placed throughout the building, making for convenience of persons visiting the Arsenal. Under reallocation of office and working space, a new office is in process of construction by building employees on the 4th floor, for use of the Warehouse Section. In order to improve working conditions for mechanics working in the garage, it was deemed advisable to build an inclosure for automobile truck washing. Heretofore, the water flowed freely all over the garage floor. This situation has been remedied by the building of an 8" wide by 20' high concrete block partition, thereby confining the washing within a specified area. Building employees were used to effect this construction. Plans are being drawn for four (4) exterior' Guard houses, to be located at various entrances around the Arsenal. These Guard houses will be constructed by labor from the personnel of the Arsenal. Protective flood lighting system is about to be installed on the outside of the building, which it is believed, will give additional protection to the properties within the Arsenal. This lighting system is also to be installed by building employees. For more accurate control of electric expenditure, it was deemed advisable to put individual pull switches on each light in the Arsenal. This has been accomplished, and the result will be a definite saving in the electric bill monthly.

With the formation of the New York Guard, a force of some 12,500 officers and men (about 50% of the authorized strength of the New York National Guard) the activities at the New York State Arsenal will continue since Federal property will be issued to these troops, and in addition, the State will also issue certain property. This will require that the usual system of supply and records be maintained. The transportation in use at the Arsenal consists of Federal vehicles which will, with the induction of the New York National Guard, be withdrawn by the organizations to which they are assigned. Request has been submitted for the purchase by the State of sufficient trucks to permit of the normal functions of supply for the New York Guard. Bureau of Grounds and Structures

(9) of that number are a State liability and have been referred to the Court of Claims, and upon fourteen (14) of those cases no formal claim has been made.
VETERANS' RELIEF

Under Chapter 589, Laws of 1922, a commission to be known as the New York Veterans' Relief Commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, to be chairman thereof, the Comptroller and The Attorney General, was created for the purpose of distributing relief to sick and disabled veterans of the World War. For the purpose of administering this act $1,000,000.00 was appropriated. Under chapter 326, Laws of 1923, this commission was abolished and a separate bureau was created in the office of The Adjutant General to be known as the Bureau for the Relief of Sick and Disabled New York Veterans. Under this chapter an additional million dollars ($1,000,000.00) was approved. Of this total $68,891.29 reverted to the State treasury through lack of re-appropriation. Under chapter 605, Laws of 1928, Chapter 41 of the Laws of 1909 entitled "An act in relation to the militia, constituting chapter. 36 of the Consolidated Laws" was amended by adding Article lA, thus establishing the administration of relief as part of the Military Law. In order to carry out the provisions of the above law the Legislature under chapter 708, Laws of 1931, appropriated $75,000.00. In 1932, $100,000.00 was obtained through the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration from funds appropriated under chapter 567. In 1933, $50,000.00 was appropriated under chapter 120 and in 1934, an appropriation of $200,000.00 was received from the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration from funds appropriated under chapter 273 and $50,000.00 from General Funds under chapter 20. Under chapter 930, Laws of 1939 and amended by chapter 877, Laws of 1940, $100,000.00 was appropriated making the gross total available of $2,506,169.71. Since the institution of the Bureau many thousand requests for relief from sick and disabled, needy, unemployed, honorably discharged veterans of the World War have been received. These applications were thoroughly investigated and a majority of them were rejected due to the fact that they did not come within the meaning of our law. However, to date 12,298 cases were approved of which 10,689 are active or have been paid the maximum allowed under our law and 1,609 are in our rejected files for various reasons. Actual payments for relief of sick and disabled veterans to date amount to $2,113,821.18. Expenses of relief commissioner and administration to date are $333,011.14. The expendable balance is $59,337.39 in chapter 930, Laws of 1939 and amended by chapter 877, Laws of 1940. The Bureau is represented by a resident commissioner in each assembly district throughout the State. The commissioner makes the necessary investigation to determine the eligibility of an applicant to be given relief. He prepares all papers, makes the relief

Bureau of Files, Mail and Distribution

During the year there were 1758 issues of publications on training, army regulations and other pamphlets received from the Federal Government by this Bureau and distributed to the units of the National Guard of this State, this in addition to the necessary Federal forms required by the National Guard. There were also caused to be printed and distributed, all State forms used by the National Guard in addition to the General Orders, Bulletins and Training Circulars originating in this office and in the office of the Commanding General, New York National Guard. Of this material, approximately 400 advance copies of said orders and bulletins which originated in this office were mimeographed. Also about 597 separate specification project bids were mimeographed during the year. Approximately 38,481 pieces of mail of all types were sent out by the office during the past year.
Bureau of War Records

The activities of this Bureau are those described in the report of this Bureau for the year 1935. The Bureau is still engaged in compiling World War records by counties, in addition to its normal activities.
Bureau of WorId War Records

Under constitutional authority a bonus for the New York State Veterans of the World War was provided pursuant to Chapter 19, Laws of 1924. The sum of $45,000,000 was realized from the sale of bonds authorized by law, this sum having been augmented by premiums amounting to $659,565, the latter sum also being appropriated for bonus purposes under Chapter 208, Laws of 1925. A Commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, the Comptroller, the Treasurer and the Attorney General, administered the disbursement until April 22, 1926 when its functions were absorbed by The Adjutant General. Each eligible veteran, upon application, received the sum of $10.00 for each month of service with the colors, between April 6, 1917 and November 11, 1918, with $150.00 as the maximum payment. Under Chapter 209, Laws of 1925, an additional appropriation of $2,500,000 was made. Chapter 26, Laws of 1925, added the next of kin to those who were killed or died in the service or prior

to February 28, 1924, as eligible to receive the bonus. Under Chapter 267, Laws of 1926, a further appropriation of $300,000 was approved. Chapter 676, Laws of 1931, extended the time for filing claims to July 1, 1932 and made an appropriation of $250,000. At an extraordinary session of the Legislature in 1931 to carry out the provisions of an act creating a temporary emergency relief administration, the sum of $584,000 was appropriated by Chapter 799 for the payment of bonuses, $30,000 of which was made available for administration expenses. Under Chapter 120, Laws of 1933, an additional appropriation of $90,000 was made for bonus payments and $25,000 for administrative expenses. The unexpended balances of these appropriations were reappropriated each year by the Legislature and were made available in the Executive Budget of 1936, Chapter 15, Laws of 1936. This chapter amended by a substitute bill Chapter 360, Laws of 1936, eliminated these reappropriations and refunded the unexpended balances amounting to $72,824.92 to the General Fund. By Chapter 875, Laws of 1936, $10,000 of this refunded amount was reappropriated and made available for one year beginning July 1, 1936. This action of the Legislature automatically closed the Bureau on June 30, 1937, and suspended the payment of bonuses on that date. Chapter 40, Laws of 1937 reappropriated $200 of the unexpended balance of the appropriation made by Chapter 875, Laws of 1936, for incurred liabilities and created the Bureau of World War Records in the Adjutant General's Office to take over the records of the Bonus Bureau. Chapter 700, Part 2, Laws of 1938 appropriated $1,111.33 for the payment of suspended claims which had been approved during the previous year and Chapter 460, Part 2, Laws of 1939 appropriated $1,045.67 to pay claims approved during the year of 1938, Chapter 877, Part 2 and Chapter 125, Part 2, Laws of 1940 appropriated a total sum of $1,433.00 to pay claims approved during the year of 1939. During the operation of the Bureau there has been appropriated for bonus purposes $49,422,155.00 out of which there has been paid in bonuses and administrative costs the sum of $49,349,325.42 and in a refund to the General Fund, $72,829.58. Under the original law no claims could be received after May 1, 1927. The Bureau reopened April 23, 1931 and closed for the receipt of applications July 1, 1932, during which period 10,135 new claims were received. The total claims received was 427,799 or 82% of the 518,864 veterans credited to the State. Of the number received 9,275 or .0215ro were rejected as not entitled to the bonus. There are still 4,872 or .0115% of the claims received awaiting action by the Bureau due to the delay of the veteran in supplying required data. Of the total received 413,660 or 96% were paid at an average cost of $1.85 per claim. Of the total veterans entitled to make application 91,065 or 18% failed to make a claim although 14,953 of this number applied for blanks. Their requests, however, had to be denied owing to the fact that they applied after the time limit, July 1, 1932. The average payment per claim was $117.23 or 78% of the maximum amount allowed, $150.00. Of the total claims re-

ceived, 25,257 applicants were not credited by the authorities III 'Vashington as having enlisted from the State of New York. Of the claims awaiting action there are being received from time to time letters from the applicants supplying sufficient data to warrant the payment of these applications. During the past year four of these applications in the amount of $439.34 have been approved for payment. These claims have been segregated and a request has been made to the Legislature for an appropriation sufficient to pay them. During the operation of the. Bureau many activities developed other than the payment of the bonus. Being an office of record, constant inquiries are being received from governmental, civic and veteran agencies and private sources relative to pertinent information regarding the services of veterans and certified copies of papers submitted with bonus applications for use in furthering claims for compensation, tax exemption, civil service examinations, retirements, promotions and for other and varied purposes. From experience with the records of the Civil and Spanish wars, which are still active, undoubtedly the records of this Bureau will remain in demand for some time to come.
Personnel Bureau

The functions of the Personnel Bureau are those described in the report of the activities of this bureau for 1935. Appointments and separations of officers.-During the year 1940 military commissions and separations were effected as follows:

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE

ADJUTANT

GENERAL

The above table indicated that 1,883 military commissions were issued during the year of which 1,453 were issued during the last three months: About 78%. There were 421 officers separated from service of which 218 were effected during the last three months. Ten of these were in the Naval Militia. Medals for Valor.-No the year 1940. Medals for Valor were awarded during

Conspicuous Service Cross.-Under the provisions of Section 247, Military Law, fifteen (15) Conspicuous Service Crosses were awarded to various applicants during the year 1940. Decorations for Long and Faithful Service.-During the year 1940, 656 Decorations for Long and Faithful Service of the various classes were awarded to applicants as follows: Special Class First Class Second Class Third Class Fourth Class (35 (25 (20 (15 (10 years years years years years service). . . . . . . . 7 service). . . . . . .. 32 service)... . . . .. 85 service). . . . . . .. 297 service) 235

The large number of Third Class awards is accounted for by the fact that a large number of applications were necessarily held over from the previous three years because of insufficient appropriation during such years. The present appropriation for the purchase of this decoration is inadequate and should be fixed at not less than $9,000 due to increasing demands caused by members of the National Guard remaining in service for longer periods than heretofore.

APPENDIX A Report of the Commanding General, New York National Guard HEADQUARTERS 27TH DIVISION OFFICE OF THE COMMANDING GENERAL FORT McCLELLAN, ALABAMA January 3, 1941. His Excellency, The Governor of the State of New York, Capitol Building, Albany, New York. Dear Governor: In accordance with the requirements of Par. 6, Regulations No. 80, as amplified by the instructions of the Adjutant General of the State, I submit herewith the following report of the condition of the New York National Guard for that portion of the calendar year 1940 expiring October 15th, the date on which I was inducted into the federal service of the United States: 1. General. In my 1939 Annual Report, I made mention of the fact that that year had been the most active one in the history of the NYNG since the termination of the World War. This activity increased shortly after the first of the year, caused by the participation in the First Army Maneuvers and the legislation passed by Congress calling the National Guard of the United States into active service for twelve months. Again I am happy to report that all of the many demands, mostly on very short notice, were met with promptness and precision. Based on the character of performance, on extensive personal observation of our troops in the field and in their armories, on the reports of inspections made to me by the Regular Army instructors detailed to the State, and by my own staff officers, I am pleased to report that the Guard has been maintained at its highest state of efficiency and readiness to accomplish the training objective set forth by higher authority. Such deficiencies as were discovered were minor in character, and prompt action was initiated to correct them. 2. Strength. On October 1, 1939, the authorized strength of the NYNG was established by Executive Order of the President at 25,624 officers and men. While our forces did not at any time during the year reach this figure, we did, during the month of September, 1940, attain a strength of approximately 24,500.

GENERAL'S

REPORT

3. Attendance. During the current year, the percentage of attendance at armory drills was excellent. Due to the fact that part of the records of weekly drills is at the New York headquarters of the National Guard, detailed figures are not available, but the general average exceeded 90%, which compares most favorably with that of any other state, as well as with our records of the past years. You will no doubt recall that the War Department required twenty-one days' field training in 1940, as compared with the usual fifteen days for former years. When this change in policy was announced by the War Department, there was doubt in the minds of some of our officer personnel that our troops might have difficulty in making this additional sacrifice of time. Such, however, was not the case. All of our forces met the additional demand with the same cheerfulness which has characterized their other duties, and our attendance for field training was just a few points under 95%. There can be no doubt of the high morale existing in the State military forces when such splendid attendance at all ordered duty can be achieved.
4. Organization. Many changes in the organization of the NYNG have been r'equired by the War Department during the current year. At the start of the year, we had ten infantry regiments. The War Plans Division of the General Staff decided that four of these regiments were in excess of their plans for the development of the Army of the United States, and it was necessary to convert them into other arms. As a result, the 107th Infantry was converted into the 207th C.A. (AA); the 369th Infantry into the 369th C.A. (AA); the 106th Infantry into the 186th F.A. (155mm Howitzer), and the 14th Infantry into the 187th F.A. (155mm Howitzer). The 87th Infantry Brigade, as it existed prior to these conversions, became the 71st Field Artillery Brigade, to which were assigned the 186th F.A., the 187th F.A., and the 258th F.A. Those portions of the 106t~1 and 14th Infantry which were surplus to the strength of the newly-constituted field artillery regiments were reorganized as follows: the three companies and the one battalion headquarters, 14th Infantry, stationed at Hempstead and Flushing, were organized into the 102nd Antitank Battalion, and the surplus units of the 106th Infantry became the 101st Military Police Battalion. During the year we completed the organization of the authorized units for the 21st Cavalry Division. During August, the War Department directed the disbandment of the four cavalry divisions in the NGUS, and restricted cavalry in this State to one regiment. The type of the regiment also was changed, so that the 101st Cavalry now consists of a regimental headquarters, a headquarters troop, service troop, a band, a medical detachment, and two squadrons. The first squadron is a horse squadron, portee, and the three troops are located, one troop each, in Brooklyn, New York, and Geneseo. The second squadron is motorized, and consists of two

reconnaissance troops and one motorcycle troop. They are located in New York and Brooklyn. The 121st Cavalry, less the Geneseo troop, was disposed as follows: the troops at Albany, Utica, and Syracuse were converted into the 101st Antitank Battalion; the two troops at Rochester, New York, were transferred into the new 209th Coast Artillery (AA). The troops at Buffalo, New York, furnished the nucleus for the 102nd Separate Battalion, C.A. (AA). The Headquarters, 21st Cavalry Division, and the Headquarters, 51st Cavalry Brigade, were absorbed into the new 102nd C.A. Brigade (AA) Headquarters and Headquarters Battery. During the present session of Congress, legislation was passed authorizing the creation of four additional antiaircraft regiments. New York State was allotted one of these new regiments, and with your approval we decided to organize this regiment partially in Buffalo and Rochester. This organization was completely organized upon my departure from New York. During the year authority was received from the War Department to organize an additional medical regiment. At the same time, a reduction in units of the present 102nd Medical Regiment was directed. Instead of each battalion having three companies, the number was cut to two each. Using these three surplus companies as a nucleus, we formed the 134th Medical Regiment at existing stations. The 102nd lVledical Regiment, the parent organization, is composed of former units having station at White Plains, New York City and Rochester, while the new 134th Medical Regiment occupies the armories at Albany, Ticonderoga, Syracuse and Corning. Another change} minor in character, involved the 27th Division Tank Company. Tank companies are no longer divisional troops, and have been organized into separate battalions, as a result of which the 27th Division Tank Company became Company "A," 191st Tank Battalion. The other companies in this Battalion come from the 26th, 28th and 29th Divisions. Due to the conversion of the 106th and 107th Infantry Regiments, a reorganization of the 27th Division became necessary. The 10th Infantry (now redesignated as the new 106th Infantry) was substituted in the 53rd Brigade for the l06th, and the 165th Infantry replaced the 107th Infantry in the 54th Brigade. The 87th Infantry Brigade, as stated previously, became the 71st Field Artillery Brigade; the 54th Infantry Brigade, formerly at Buffalo, N ew York, was converted to the 87th Infantry Brigade for service with the 44th Division, and the 93rd Infantry Brigade replaced the 54th Infantry Brigade, under that designation, in the 27th Division. There were many changes in high-ranking officer personnel in the NYNG during the year 1940. The greatest loss to the service was the sudden and untimely death of Major General Walter G. Robinson, the Adjutant General of the State, in New York City, on .January 24th. Bearing in mind the fact that the entire Guard was to be called into active service, and in order to insure that all field officers

86

ADJUTANT

GENERAL'S

REPORT

would be physically prepared for such service, I arranged with the Commanding General, First Army, Lieutenant General Hugh A. Drum, for the examination of these officers, during the field training period, by a board of medical officers composed of surgeons from the Regular Army, National Guard, and the Reserve Corps. All field officers, and such officers of other grade as were in service under waivers for physical defects, were examined, and twentyeight were disqualified. The wisdom of this action has been well substantiated by the small number of disqualifications made by the Regular Army examining boards upon the induction of those organizations of the NYNG now in federal service. 5. Service in Aid of Civil Authorities. During the year 1940, there was no occasion for the use of any military forces of the State in aid of civil authorities. 6. Training. There was no change in the War Department training objective in 1940, nor was there any let-up in our efforts to achieve a high training level. That the National Guard of this State has been a leader in training efficiency is borne out by reports of Army inspectors on those organizations now in federal service. The First Army Maneuvers, held in the vicinity of Canton, New York, during August, 1940, called for the participation of the largest number of NYNG organizations over a long period of years. This resulted in only four organizations being sent to Camp Smith for training. Due to the limited terrain available for field exercises and maneuvers, we were able to arrange with the Commanding General, Second Corps Area, to send the two infantry regiments scheduled for Camp Smith to Camp Upton, New York, for ten of their twenty-one days' training. With more than 5,000 acres available for maneuver purposes, we were able to accomplish splendid results. These two regiments were the 10th and 14th Infantry. The 207th Coast Artillery and the 369th C.A. were trained at Camp Smith, each regiment devoting the first part of its tour to intensive small arms practice, and the balance of the period to fundamental and basic training in antiaircraft coast artillery. Due to the fact that the War Department was unable to furnish any of the antiaircraft weapons, arrangements were made with the 212th C.A. to furnish a small instruction group of officers and men, together with searchlights, sound locator, three-inch antiaircraft guns, and .50 calibre machine guns. Much progress was made, and these two recently converted infantry regiments were sent off to a good start in the new arm. I had tried for a long time to prevail upon the War Department to send the 258th Field Artillery to a training camp where it could conduct its service practice at land targets and with normal ranges. As you will recall, this regiment is armed with the 155-mm. gun, with an extreme range of more than ten miles. Target areas for such a weapon are very few in the entire country. Authority was received late in the spring to have this regiment train at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. For the first time since the World War it

had an opportunity to conduct its service practice under normal conditions. Under the leadership of its new colonel, Lewis L. Leavell, it accomplished splendid results, as evidenced by the field inspection report received at the conclusion of its training. T'he 245th C.A., which normally had been sent to Fort H. G. Wright, Fisher's Island, New York, was ordered to train at Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook, New Jersey. This change in training station was required by the War Department in view of the fact that Fort Hancock was the mobilization station for this regiment, and it was deemed necessary that it become acquainted with the armament at that place. Due to the fact that the coastal ocean traffic off Sandy Hook is much heavier than that which prevails in Long Island Sound, the regiment did not get the benefit of as much service practice as it would have received at Fisher's Island. However, it did become familiar with the fixed armament at the post to which they were called for duty after induction on September 16th. 7. Additional Training. During the current year a considerable increase in the allotment of officers and enlisted men to attend the various service schools was authorized by the NGB. Every arm and service had opportunity to send their personnel in larger numbers than heretofore. The list of this personnel is of record in the office of the Adjutant General of the State. During the spring the War Department authorized the attendance of NG division commanders and certain members of their staffs at the maneuvers held at various training centers, with the newtype triangular Regular Army divisions. OUf Division was authorized to join with the Fifth Regular Army Division in the Fourth Corps maneuvers held on the Fort Benning reservation and general vicinity, in April. I attended these maneuvers with nine of my staff. vVe were all much impressed with the mobility and heavy fire-power of this new-type division. While the triangular type of infantry division has been adopted in the Regular Army, no major change has been made in the square-type division for the National Guard. Athletics and Recreation. Except at Camp Smith, there was but little time for organized athletics and recreation at any of the training centers. At Camp Smith, as in the past, every opportunity was taken of the splendid facilities present for baseball, track, swimming, tennis, soft ball, and handball. The usual program, which calls for the showing of the latest motion pictures three times weekly, without cost of admission, was in effect, and the Camp theatre was made available the other days of the week for boxing, wrestling, and amateur vaudeville. Religious services were conducted at all camps each Sunday. 8. Permanent Plant. When the War Department authorized the formation of the 209th C.A. (AA), the problem for satisfactorily housing this unit naturally presented itself. General Brown, the Adjutant General, promptly made arrangements for the temporary

88

REPORT

acquisition of quarters to house the units to be organized in Rochester and Buffalo. There was, however, some delay in securing the full use of these temporary quarters, but with the help of the Officers in Charge and Control of the cavalry and infantry armories in Buffalo and Rochester, and the field artillery armory in Buffalo, we were able to make progress in the organization without serious delay or much inconvenience. It should be borne in mind, however, that this regiment, when it returns from its extended active training at Camp Stewart, Georgia, will require adequate housing. Careful thought and consideration will also have to be given to adequate armory facilities for those of our organizations which have been converted into field artillery, coast artillery, and other arms. The armories now occupied by these converted units were not constructed for the type of organization which they now are. Another problem that will present itself upon the return of troops from active service in the Army of the United States is that of storage space for motor vehicles and mechanized vehicles in the Greater City of New York. This is a matter that was given considerable attention shortly before the emergency, and is well-known to the Mayor of the City of New York. In view of present conditions and the uncertainty as to what will develop in the future, I think that the provision of new armories and new garages for housing military equipment should be left in abeyance for the time being, both as it affects the City of New York and the State of New York, and that a careful study and a statement of requirements be prepared after the return of the National Guard to its normal functions in the State. Camp Smith. Appropriations were made by the Legislature this year for the construction of a new shower bath and latrine for the officers of the Camp staff and the Regular Army officers assigned to duty as instructors. This building was completed prior to the opening of the Camp. Appropriations also were made for the completion of the motor truck park. I had planned to start this construction immediately after the conclusion of the field training period. However, the induction program established by the War Department, together with the twelve-months' duty required of our troops, eliminated the immediate necessity for this truck park, and accordingly the project was suspended for the time being. In my budget request for Camp Smith for 1941, I have reduced the amount sought to cover the maintenance of the plant, feeling that there will be no training at Camp Smith in 1941, other than a possible much reduced use of the various small-arms ranges by the N ew York Guard. Pine Camp. The NG camp at Pine Camp was in use for but one week during 1940, and that only by the four field artillery regiments participating in the First Army Maneuvers. Service prac tice was conducted by these organizations prior to their participation in the maneuvers. Due to the mobilization of the new army, the War Department has cancelled the permission or license under which we were permitted to maintain an exclusive National Guard camp on that reservation. In this connection I might also mention

that the War Department cancelled the license which permitted the l02nd Observation Squadron to maintain its armory facilities at Miller Field, Staten Island. New York Guard. Early last spring, Your Excellency directed me to prepare plans for the organization of the New York Guard, to replace the NYNG when and if the latter was ordered into federal service. This plan was completed prior to my departure from New York, and I understand that the NYG is now an actual part of the military forces of the State, and under the leadership of Maj or General William Ottmann, who resigned his command of the Coast Artillery Brigade, NYNG, is now progressing favorably. uN ew York National Guardsman." Early this summer I was apprised of the tentative program of the War Department for a year's training of the NYNG. This involved the sending of our troops to fifteen different training camps, located in various parts of the country. With our units widely scattered, and with intensive training requiring the full effort and attention of all of our officers and men, I deemed it for the best interests of the service to suspend publication of our monthly paper. It was with deep regret that I came to this decision, for this magazine, published continuously since 1924, served a most useful purpose. It is hoped to resume its publication with the return of the NYNG to its home State. Recommendations. For the past several years I have discussed with you the matter of securing an adequate training center for the use of our troops during their field training period. Camp Smith is an ideal training center for small arms practice. The character of its terrain and its limited acreage does not lend itself to any other feature of military training. It is outmoded, and serious thought must be given either to its enlargement or amplification, or to its abandonment and the procuring of another more desirable site. I feel, however, that definite action in this regard should not be taken at this time. The entire Army of the United States is in a state of flux, and until the War Department has decided definitely on the type and character of organizations that must be maintained by the various states, I must refrain from making any recommenda tions. Permit me at this time to express to you the sincere appreciation and deep gratitude of myself, personally, and of the NYNG as a whole, for the keen interest and sympathetic understanding and staunch support which you have always given to the NYNG. I also desire to express my thanks to the Legislature for its assistance. I appreciate the hearty cooperation and helpfulness of the Adjutant General of the State and the USP&DO. I am deeply grateful for the splendid corps of instructors detailed to us from the Regular Army. I trust that the record of our accomplishments warrants and merits a continuance of this most desired support. Respectfully,
WILLIAM N. HASKELL, Major General, U.S.A., Commanding.

APPENDIX B

The Report of the Commanding Officer, New York Naval Militia 1. The following annual report on the New York Naval Militia for the period December 1, 1939 to November 30, 1940 is submitted in accordance with Par. 6, R-80, Regulations for the Military Forces of the State of New York. 2. Strength and Attendance. The total strength of the Brigade has increased from 2052 officers and men on December 1, 1939 to 2396 officers and men as of November 30, 1940. This growth is mainly due to increases in authorized strength to which reference is made in paragraph 3 hereof on Organization. There was also some advantage gained in recruiting because the new Selective Service Law seems to have prompted some men to seek enlistment in the Naval Militia-Naval Reserve in preference, to being selected under that law for service in the Army. 3. Organization. (a) Naval. The naval fleet Divisions have all been heretofore assigned for mobilization to function as reserve crews in combatant naval ships, mainly destroyers. After the summer training period this year the mobilization assignment of the 4th Battalion and the 33rd Division was changed by the Navy Department and they are to function as Local Defense units when they are called to Federal active duty. A further change was made increasing the authorized strength of organizations, in D.S.N.R. status, to the following:

GENERAL'S REPORT

quota of enlisted men for Fleet divisions has heretofore been 76 men and of these the highest number ever authorized for drill P8tY purposes was 69. The ~dditional enlisted men allowed, in V-1 class (non drill pay status), has heretofore been 50 per division, which number still obtains in the case of fleet units. Corresponding action on these changes was requested in NYNM status in letter to the Adjutant General, Oct. 8, 1940, File A3-1, and he revised the Military Regulations, SNY, accordingly on October 15, 1940. (b) Marine. The Table of Organization for the 1st Marine Battalion, NYNM was increased, in USMCR status, by the addition of a Communication Platoon and a Drum and Bugle Corps to the Battalion Headquarters Company. Corresponding action was requested in NYNM status in letters to the Adjutant General June 24, and September 10, 1940, File A3-1, and he revised the Military Regulations, SNY, accordingly on October 15, 1940. (c) It will be noted that if the units of the Naval Militia were recruited to these full authorized strengths, the Brigade would have a total of close to 4,000 sailors and marines. (d) Several changes in officer assignments were made of which mention is made of: Lieut. Comdr. R. H. Wilcox appointed to Command, 1st Battalion, vice Captain Theodore Nelson, resigned. Lieut. Comdr. W. J. Coakley appointed to Command, 2nd Battalion, vice Rear Admiral J. T. Kane, NYNM, retired. Lieut. Comdr. E. L. Denton, appointed to Command, 3rd Battalion, vice Lieut. H. L. Baist, resigned. 4. Training Duty. All organizations performed the regular annual two weeks period of training duty as required by Section 111 Military Law, SNY, and the regulations of the Navy Department. Naval organizations performed this duty afloat in Navy destroyers under federal orders with itineraries including visits to U.S. ports on the Atlantic Seaboard, Guantanamo, Cuba, and Port au Prince, Haiti. In the gunnery exercises held during the training periods the 3rd Division, 1st Battalion made the highest score in target practice and was awarded the Josephthal Trophy for Gunnery Efficiency. The 1st Marine Battalion performed training duty, under federal orders, at the Marine Barracks, Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, N. J. A total of 56 officers and 1584 enlisted men participated in this annual training duty under federal pay and allowances and 3 officers and 52 enlisted men performed similar duty in a non pay status. The lesser number of officers who performed training duty during the year were due to many having resigned, prior to the summer training period, because of volunteering for, and being ordered to, extended federal active duty. 5. TVeek End Crw:ses. These cruises are performed without pay or allowances in a voluntary status. During the period of this report there were 56 of these week end runs and one cruise of 13 days which was performed by members of the 32nd Division. A total of 6,177 miles were steamed and a collective total of 122

REPORT

93

officers and 889 men participated. This practical training is valuable in promoting efficiency. 6. Small Arms Practice. Outdoor small arms target practice was held for all organizations on various ranges in the State as required by Section 111 of the Military Law, S.N.Y. The Figure of Merit Prizes for this exercise which were established by Section 112 of the Military Law, S.N.Y., were won by the following organizations:
1st Prize: 2nd Prize: 3rd Prize: Value $100 31st Division, New Rochelle, N. Y. Value 75 15th Division, Oswego, N. Y. Value 50 32nd Division, Yonkers, N. Y.

There were 623 firers qualified as marksmen which is a new high for the Brigade. Several officers and men qualified as Expert Riflemen and Sharpshooters during Match competition. One officer and four enlisted men were assigned to the U. S. Naval Reserve Third District Rifle Team and served three weeks at Camp Perry, Ohio, where they attended the Small Arms Firing Schobl and participated in various National Matches. The Naval Militia Brigade Match held at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., was won for the fifth consecutive year by the 31st Division, New Rochelle, N. Y. The Interstate Small Arms Trophy Match sponsored by the U. S. Naval Reserve Officers Association, Third Naval District, was again won by the NYNM State Team. Proficiency in the use of Small Arms showed satisfactory improvement in all commands. Acknowledgment is made to the Commanding General, Second Corps Area, U. S. Army and Commanding General, New York National Guard, for authorizing the use of Federal ranges at Fort Niagara and Stony Point, N. Y. and State ranges at Camp Smith in Peekskill, and at Rochester, N. Y., and for the helpful cooperation extended by personnel under their respective commands. 7. Naval Academy Appointments. A total of 47 enlisted men of the Brigade participated in the competitive examination in U.S.N.R. status for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy which was held during April 1940. Of these 16 succeeded in obtaining these appointments in 1940 either by Congressional appointment or from the U. S. Naval Reserve in accordance with Article H-1904, Bu. Nav. Manual, U. S. Navy, as follows:
Bernet, Harry R. Courtessis, N.A. Reyback, James M. Strachan, J. R. Wadsworth, F. A. Baker, James G. Palmer, P. W., Jr. Wanner, Vance R. Cryan, John J. Cullen, M. A., Jr. King, E. W. Lamphere, R. A.

8. General Efficiency of the Brigade. The efficiency of the New York Naval Militia has been maintained in the past year at a satisfactory standard. The 31st Division, New Rochelle, N. Y., had the highest standing in the State of New York and was awarded the Josephthal Trophy for Naval efficiency during the year 1940, valued at $150. Company "C," Rochester, N. Y., was awarded the Josephthal Trophy for Marine efficiency during the year 1940, valued at $75. 9. Armories. As a result of cooperative efforts of the members of the Armory Board of the City of New York, the Commanding Officer, 33rd Division, the President of the Borough of Richmond, and interested federal officials, the U.S. Works Progress Administration built a new armory in Tompkinsville, Staten Island for the 33rd Division. Occupancy of this building by the Division began on November 27, 1940, as reported by its Commanding Officer in letter to the Adjutant General, December 2, 1940, file N12-1/S1 and as announced in General Orders 48, AGO, SNY, 1940. While this new armory is considered somewhat small for this organization, it certainly prov~des greatly improved accommodations over those previously available. The 12th Division in Dunkirk and the 32nd Division in Yonkers are quartered in rented armories. While in both these instances the accommodations are better than those formerly occupied, it is strongly recommended that State owned armories for these two organizations be provided for under early priorities in the Adjutant General's building program. The armory at Watertown, which is occupied by the 13th Division jointly with a National Guard unit, is somewhat inadequate as to space and, being a very old structure, either needs replacement or rehabilitation, and this is accordingly recommended for the Adjutant General's consideration. 10. Mobilization. Under the Naval Reserve Act of 1938, Section 4, the members of the Naval Militia, in their federalized status as naval and marine reserves, "obligate themselves to serve in the Navy in time of. war or when in the opinion of the President a national emergency exists." Pursuant to the President's proclamation of a national emergency on September 8, 1939 and Executive Orders issued thereafter, some members of the Naval Militia, among other reservists, were ordered to federal active duty during the year. This mobilization was initiated by assigning enlisted reservists, who volunteered therefor, to federal active duty for any requested period from two weeks to one year, in accordance with announcement in Bu. Nav. N.R. Circular 19-40, May 29, 1940. A subsequent announcement in Bu. Nav. N.R. Circular 30-40 of September 6, 1940, broadened the scope of this authority by making officers, who volunteered therefor, eligible for extended federal active duty, and this was also mentioned in a circular letter of the Commandant, Third Naval District, October 15, 1940 (NM file P16-3/8). Then Bu. Nav. N.R. Circular 37-40 of November 25, 1940 further enlarged the scope of the mobilization by making several classes of

REPORT OF THE COMMANDING

OFFICER

95

the Naval Reserve (including all classes in the N.Y.N.M.) subject to mandatory federal active duty orders, with or without their own consent, when their services were needed. Among further provisions by the Navy for mobilization, mention is made of the authority granted in Bu. Nav. N.R. Circular 38-40 of November 28, 1940 for an increase in uniforms allowed enlisted men to a "full bag" complete with bag, hammock, and bedding. The status of mobilization of the Naval Militia in federal status as of this date was:
Naval Units. . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .. Marines. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44 Officers 8 Officers 554 Enlisted Men 300 Enlisted Men

11. Training Ships. In line with the Navy's policy of concentrating ships on the seaboard during the present national emergency, the following ships, assigned to our organizations in U.S.N.R. status, were officered and manned by our organizations and proceeded in the late fall to Atlantic coast ports, pursuant to Navy Department Orders: Y.P. 52 assigned to 12th Division, USNR at Dunkirk; proceeded via New York State Barge Canal. Y.P. 63 assigned to 9th Battalion, USNR at Buffalo; proceeded via St. Lawrence River. Y.P. 64 assigned to 3rd Battalion, USNR at Rochester; proceeded via St. Lawrence River. S.C. 431 assigned to 13th Division, USNR at Watertown; proceeded via New York State Barge Canal. Y.P. 10 assigned to 1st Battalion, USNR at New York City; proceeded via Hudson River. Other ships, namely Y.P. 8 assigned to the 4th Battalion, USNR at Whitestone; Y.P. 9 assigned to 33rd Division, USNR at Staten Island; and Y.P. 12 assigned to 31st Division, USNR at New Rochelle, have not yet been detached from these organizations but it is understood that they will shortly be manned and directed to join the Local Defense Force of the Third Naval District. These vessels have served the valuable purpose of week-end training afloat and it is hoped that they, or substitute ships, will again be available for this purpose after the present emergency is concluded. 12. Security. To insure the security and protection of armories, boat houses and government property the force of armory employees was supplemented early in June 1940, by. details of enlisted men assigned specifically to guard duty under State pay. Details of one petty ,officer and two non-rated men in the smaller armories, up to one petty officer and four non-rated men in the larger ones, comprising a total force of not in excess of 50 enlisted men, including petty officers, were placed on this duty as directed by G.O. No. 21, AGO, and G.O. No.6, Hq.NYNM, 1940. This special guard duty at armories is still in effect and is believed to be an important provision to safeguard our armories and government property during the present national emergency.

13. ((Home Guard" Duty. The complete mobilization of the Naval Militia for federal active duty in the present national emergency would result in all its organizations being entirely withdrawn from the armories. It is understood that in such cases The Adjutant General will assign an officer from the State Reserve List to function in each armory as Officer in Charge and Control and that armory employees would be continued in service to safeguard and maintain property. No State naval force has been authorized to function during the absence of the N. Y.Naval Militia on federal duty in war or a national emergency. It would seem desirable that, for war time "home guard" purposes within the State, a force of men with naval experience be organized to supplement the land forces of the New York Guard and it is recommended that this be considered. 14. Grateful acknowledgment is made for the interest and support which was extended to the Naval Militia by His Excellency, the Governor and also for the cooperation of the Adjutant General, the members of the Legislature, the Director of the Budget, and other officers of the State with whom the Naval Militia has been privileged to have relations during the year.

Report of the Commanding General, New York Guard

i
I

In accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 6, Regulations No. 80, I have the honor to submit the following report on the affairs of the New York Guard for that part of the calendar year during which the Guard has been in existence. Pursuant to your instructions, General Haskell organized an office force in July, for the purpose of drawing plans and making the preparations for the activation of the New York Guard, if and when the N atibnal Guard was sent to the Federal service. The salaried force consisted originally of three retired officers of the Regular Army and one retired officer of the National Guard. The latter was relieved on August 5th. One of the former now also serves as Chief of Staff. The clerical force consisted of four female stenographer-clerks, and one male chauffeur-clerk. In October two male stenographer-clerks were transferred from the Headquarters of the New York National Guard to the payroll of these Headquarters. They are and will be engaged principally on work for the New York National Guard, until the departure of all of those units for the Federal service. The funds under which these Headquarters are operating are known as "National Guard Headquarters Loan for Maintenance and Operation, Including Personal Service," fiscal year 1940-1941. The amount set up for this fund was $50,000. The cost of the operation of these Headquarters for all purposes during the current fiscal year will be kept below this amount. The first problem confronting the organization of the N ew York Guard was the restriction in Section 61 of the National Defense Act. That was removed by an amendment to that section, passed in the third session of the 76th Congress and approved October 21, 1940. It should be recorded at this point that the passage of that legislation was in a large measure due to the personal efforts of Your Excellencv. The office force 'referred to above prepared the Plan of Mobilization and Tables of Organization for all units of the Command, including a Station List. The Tables and Station List were published by The Adjutant General in a pamphlet from his office, dated October 15, 1940, entitled "Information Circular for Personnel of the New York Guard of the State of New York" (Exhibit A herewith) . The paper formation of the regiments was initiated by the enrollment of officers and enlisted men. The former were selected by the regimental commanders and the latter by the company and detachment commanders. The ages of officers are 21 to 63, both inclusive, and of enlisted men 18 to 55, both inclusive. The physi[97]

cal standards are those prescribed in War Department Mobilization Regulations 1-9, August 31, 1940, but now below Class I-B"Physically unfit for general military service, but fit for special and limited military service." The authorized strength of the Guard is as follows: One Guard Headquarters, 5 Brigade Headquarters and 20 regiments, which constitute a total force consisting of 1116 commissioned officers and 12,573 enlisted men armed with 10,620 rifles, and when available 1596 pistols or revolvers. No other weapons are contemplated at this time. Wherever New York State historic regimental numbers were not in use by regiments of the National Guard, they were restored and assigned to regiments of the N ew York Guard. In July and August the regimental commanders were designated by General Haskell, who continued in charge of the office and of the organization until his departure for the Federal service, October 23, 1940. Pursuant to General Orders No. 40, The Adjutant General's Office, Albany, New York, October 25, 1940 (Exhibit B herewith), the N ew York Guard was organized, and the undersigned took his oath of office on October 25, 1940. General Orders No. 40 also appointed the general officers consisting of the Chief of Staff and the five Brigade Commanders. The twenty regimental commanders were appointed in Special Orders No. 254, The Adjutant General's Office, October 25, 1940. Subsequently, Colonel Raymond E. Williams of the 13th Regiment, declined his appointment and Lieutenant Colonel John D. Humphries, New York National Guard, was designated as commanding officer of that regiment by Paragraph 6, Special Orders No. 271, The Adjutant General's Office, November 17, 1940. Should Colonel Humphries be discharged from the New York National Guard, he will be nominated to be a Colonel of Infantry in the New York Guard, for assignment to the 13th Regiment. All other officers of the New York Guard have been appointed and placed on duty by The Adjutant General pursuant to the law and Military Regulations of the State. The New York Guard was distributed with at least one unit in everyone of the 74 National Guard armories in the State. That assignment is shown in General Orders No. 40, above referred to. The regiments of the 1st, 2nd and 5th Brigades are distributed in the Metropolitan area of Greater New York; the 3rd Brigade, with Headquarters in Albany, is in the Eastern part of the State, and the 4th Brigade, with Headquarters in Buffalo, is in the Western part of the State. Each regiment consists of 15 units, including a Regimental Headquarters, a Band, a Headquarters and Service Company, a Medical Detachment, Battalion Headquarters Detachment for each of three Battalions and nine Rifle Companies. The bands have just recently been authorized by Circular No.9, The Adjutant General's Office, December 7, 1940, but none have been organized to date.

December 9, 1940 was the 'initial date of the muster-in of units of the New York Guard. On that evening, units of the 21st Regiment, in Rochester, New York, and of the 9th Regiment, in New York City, were mustered in. By December 30, 1940, 113 units, out of 306 units in the whole command, had been mustered int; estimated aggregatf' 4,750 all ranks, with approximately 5,000 additional enrolled &nd awaiting muster. It is anticipated that all units will have been mustered within two weeks after the last unit of the New York National Guard has departed for Federal service, as in some cases the use of the armory by National Guard units preparing for Federal service precludes the muster-in of New York Guard units until the armory is cleared. It should be noticed that although the officers in the regiments are commissioned in the Infantry, the regiments have been designated "regiments." This was done deliberately that the armament of the regiments could be changed without changing the official designation, as circumstances might require in the future. Initially it is planned to equip the regiments as rifle companies, and Companies D, Hand M, which ordinarily are machine gun companies, have been left inactive. The War Department is supplying Lee-Enfield rifles, bayonets, and bayonet scabbards, and no other arms, no other equipment and no uniforms. The State is purchasing web cartridge belts for each man armed with the rifle and web pistol belts for each man who will be armed with a pistol. The State is purchasing uniforms for enlisted men consisting of cotton O.D. shirt with a black necktie, a woolen overseas cap with the letters "N.Y." %t of an inch in height embroidered on the left side of the front in infantry blue, a one-piece uniform of cotton drill material with a shoulder sleeve patch of infantry blue 2% inches in diameter with the letters "N.Y." embroidered in black 34 inches in height, chevrons, collar insignia, and dismounted canvas leggings. For armory service the soldier furnishes his own shoes. (Photograph herewith Exhibit G.) The State is purchasing 1500 sets of individual infantry equipment for enlisted men other than the rifle and pistol belts mentioned above. Two sets of this equipment will be issued to each company for instruction purposes. The remainder will be stored in the State Arsenal for issue should any unit be called to active service. It is recommended that when financial conditions permit, sufficient winter clothing for 1500 enlisted men be purchased and stored in the State Arsenal for. use in the event of field service. To this should be added sufficient field equipment for two regiments. The uniform for officers is the same as that of the New York National Guard except that the cap ornament and all buttons have the State Coat of Arms and on the lapel of the collar are the letters "N.Y." The shoulder sleeve insignia of the overcoat and service coat is the same as that prescribed for enlisted men. The training contemplated for this command, which originally

GENERAL'S REPORT

was two drill nights per week, is now being reduced to one per week and is being concentrated on the objective of fitting all the units for the primary function of the Guard, which is the reenforcement of the civil authorities and law enforcement agencies when ordered by the Governor. The Headquarters Staff is organized and ready to start making an estimate of the situation preparatory to making plans for future eventualities just as soon as decisions are made in the matters of responsibility of the New York Guard. In the meantime, brigade and regimental staffs are preparing plans for the use of the Guard under various conditions which may be visualized as possibilities in view of present world conditions. No summer camp or field training is contemplated for this command. The expense would be heavy and the separation of the officers and men from their civil occupations would not be justified by the results attained. The training objective of the Guard under present conditions can be maintained by work in the armory, except rifle firing with service ammunition. This will be partially compensated for by firing in the armory basement ranges with reduced charge ammunition. The patriotic enthusiasm and response to the formation of the New York Guard without remuneration and at considerable personal sacrifice is a marked credit to the citizenry of this State. Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM OTTMANN,

Major General Commanding.

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL

December 31, 1941.

His Excellency HERBERTH. LEHMAN, Governor of the State

of

New York, Albany, N. Y.

SIR :-Pursuant to Section 17 of the :Military Law and the provisions of Section 42 of Chapter 78 of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York, report for the year ending December 31, 1941, is submitted. The declarations of War against the Axis nations have resulted in greatly increased activity of the Division of Military and Naval Affairs, not only in the matter of supplying personnel for the armed forces, but in cooperating with civilian defense activities as well. 'fhe strength of the New York Guard was increased following orders of Your Excellency of December 5, 1941, to organize two additional regiments, the 12th and 22nd Regiments, New York Guard, at New York City, New York, as directed in General Orders No. 21, my office, of that date. As a measure for safeguarding of Federal and State property, Your Excellency caused the publication of General Orders No.3, my office, dated January 18, 1941, providing for the detail to full time duty with base pay of grade and subsistence of four hundred and fifty (450) enlisted men of the New York Guard, including necessary noncommissioned officers, to guard armories, arsenals and camps of the New York Guard. Such guards were to relieve those earlier established by the New York National Guard pending receipt of orders to proceed to training camps. It was necessary to discontinue such guards effective March 24, 1941, due to exhaustion of funds and the disinclination of the I.1egislature to provide additional sums for that purpose.

Federal indtwtions.-The schedule for the induction into the Army of the United States of the balance of the New York National Guard organizations not inducted up to the date of my last report, December 31, 1940, was carried out as described therein so that there were no New York National Guard troops remaining under Your Excellency's command after March 9, 1941. Rosters of commissioned personnel of all inducted New York National Guard organizations are included in the appendices of my report for 1940. The balance of the personnel of the New York Naval Militia, except for five (5) officers, was also disposed of either by entrance into United States service or separation from the Naval l\Iilitia as provided in law and regulations.

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT' GENERAL

Personnel r,eleased from United Sta,tes service.-Prior to the declaration of War, the War Department had adopted a policy of releasing from active service, on their own application, enlisted men over twenty-eight (28) years of age, married, or whose absence from home caused family hardship. Certain officers were released on similar grounds and because of being " over-age" for grade held. To provide a Federally'recognized organization of the New York National Guard to which such personnel could be assigned on release, the War Department returned the State Detachment, New York National Guard, to the State of New York, on October 1, 1941. The War Department also authorized the enlistment and reenlistment in the State Detachment, New York National Guard, of men with former active service of not less than eleven (11) months provided they were not over twenty-eight (28) years of age. Further particulars are contained in General Orders No. 18, my office,dated October 1, 1941. The strength of the State Detachment, New York National Guard, on this date is thirty-nine (39) officers, one (1) warrant officerand one thousand, seven hundred sixty-seven (1,767) enlisted men. Of the latter, two hundred seventy-six (276) are men enlisted in the State Detachment. Now that the nation is at war, the War Department has advised that most of the personnel of, the State Detachment, New York National Guard, excepting men released because their absence caused family hardships, will be recalled to United States service; such recalls to be completed on or before February 1, 1942. The details incident to the recording and notifying of the personnel of the State Detachment, New York National Guard, of the requirements of the War Department, necessitated an administrative" set-up ", so involved as to require a large part of the time of four (4) employees of the Personnel Bureau. Changes in organization.-Changes in New York Guard organizations were as follows:

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

Bureau of Equipment and Supply

The completion of the mobilization of the New York National Guard and the arming and equipping of the New York Guard constituted the major activities at the New York State Arsenal during 1941. The equipping of the National Guard and New York Guard units is set forth in some detail in the reports of section activities which form part of this report; however, in connection with the New York Guard, some facts are worthy of mention in order to emphasize the importance of this activity. The authorized strength of the New York Guard is now approximately 68% of the National Guard which it replaces and the equipment of such a force from the ground up has represented a considerable amount of work. Specifications for all types of clothing have been furnished, goods received, inspected and issued, new accounts have been inaugurated and the status of this force with respect to property accountability is exactly the same as was that of the National Guard. Certifying officershave been bonded and a statement of account as of October 15th, 1941, was rendered ~ach regiment. This statement was checked against a physical inventory conducted by the responsible officersand the resulting differences have been adjusted by payments to the State or Federal Government for any shortages. These shortages have been surprisingly few and indicate that the responsible officers have conducted their affairs in a business-like manner. The Commanding General, New York Guard, is kept constantly informed of the status of supply to the end that his tactical plans may be always consistent with the availability of material. The reports of the several sections are interesting and indicative of the variety of activities relative to the maintenance of the New York Guard. Property Section

Due to the fact that there still remained in the State on January 1, 1941, fifteen (15) National Guard Organizations, which had to be equipped prior to induction, and as formation of the New York Guard was being effected, the following report is best subdivided into two sections; National Guard Activity and New York Guard Activity.
(A) NATIONAL GUARD (1) QUARTERMASTER
ACTIVITY

This activity extended from the period January 1st to March 10th, 1941. The following New York State units still uninducted had to be equipped:101st Anti-Tank Battalion l02nd Separate Battalion 369th Coast Artillery

A general estimate of equipment, clothing and supplies furnished may be realized from the few figures below. 6,326 16,696 4,139 915 12,767 4,518 4,518 1,980 160 1,265 pl'. pl'. pc. pl'. ea. ea. ea. ea. ea. ea.

Approximately 4,000 separate Quartermaster items were shipped from this Arsenal to organizations. Forty-four (44) procurement requisitions to Headquarters, Second Corps Area were initiated. A few items included:3,013 2,727 2,053 1,640 1,293 2 ea. ea. ea. pl'. ea. ea. Collar Insig'nia Neckties Shirts Trousers, elastique Caps, field Bass, sousaphones

Receipt of these items at this Arsenal involved the unloading, checking, inspection and temporary storage and the subsequent selecting and re-shipping of all property received, also the necessary paper accounting. Four hundred and seventy-six (476) organizational requisitions were received. These requisitions were checked with Army Tables of Basic Allowances to ascertain validity of quantities. All items appearing therein were dropped from Stock Record Accounts, shipping tickets prepared, stock on hand and that received by above

noted procurement requisitions had to be repacked in desired quantities and sizes and shipped. The following is a statistical resume of excess and surplus Federal property shipped to various Federal Depots pursuant to instructions contained in letter, Headquarters, Second Corps Area, dated June 12, 1941:Twenty-two shipments were made to Federal Depots, receiving stations, and Arsenals throughout the United States. A few of these included Fort Custer, Mich., U.S.P.&D.O., Alabama, Jeffersonville Depot, Ind., Philadelphia QM Depot, Pa., Southern District Shop, S. I., Fort Monmouth, N. J., Camp Mabry, Texas. Eight hundred and twenty-nine (829) separate miscellaneous items of Signal property in various quantities (radios, telephones, switchboards, etc.) were shipped to Signal Officer, New York General Depot. Twenty-eight (28) separate miscellaneous items of Engineer property (compasses, protractors, tripods, sketching chests, etc.) were shipped to Engineer Supply Officer, New York General Depot. , Eight hundred and forty-two (842) separate miscellaneous items of various Medical property (e=?taminationchests, dental chests, drugs, and medical supplies, etc.) were shipped to various organizations of the New York National Guard, and Medical Section, New York General Depot. Fourteen (14) separate miscellaneous items of cleaning and preserving materials (400 paint brushes, 524 gallons paint, 703 pounds rags, etc.) were shipped to Fort Tilden and Fort Wadsworth. Two thousand six hundred and forty-four (2,644) separate miscellaneous repair parts, hand tools and equipment (motor transport) shipped to organizations of New York National Guard and Southern District Shop, Staten Island. Twenty (20) Federal motor vehicles, some serviceable and others unserviceable, pending on Reports of Surveys, were shipped to Southern District Shop, Staten Island. The amount of administrative work necessary to transact all incoming and outgoing shipments was,multitudinous and required detailed postings to Warehouse Books, Bin Cards, and Record Accounts; preparation and distribution of Property Reports (TallyIn and Tally-Out) ; correspondence with Agencies concerned; telephonic communications with Army Base, Corps Area, and Organizations; preparation and submission of Procurement Requisitions to Federal Depots, and the constant review of pertinent Tables of Basic Allowances.

(B) NEW YORK GUARD (1) QUARTERMASTER

ACTIVITY

The formation of the New York Guard during the latter part of December 1940 necessitated the equipping of this force with an immediate initial issue of forty-five (45) items of clothing and

equipage and subsequent issues of additional and replacement articles. It devolves upon this office to furnish contractors with size requirements necessary to equip a force of 17,114 enlisted men, including replacements. Actual size requirements were of primary importance due to the fact that there was. little allowance for stock surplus to property fit the ever-changing personnel in the average regimental turnover. Sizes were compiled for approximately 17,000 of each of the following articles: Leggings, Oversuits, Shirts, Raincoats, Shoes and Field Caps. In total, there were forty-five (45) items of clothing and equipment which each organization had to be furnished. (See Appendix No.1). Thirteen (13) procurement requisitions for Federal property available for purchase from the War Department for the New York Guard were initiated. One thousand six hundred and thirty-five (1,635) organization requisitions were received, edited and processed, for property required by organizations of the New York Guard, for which the necessary postings were entered, shipping tickets prepared and appropriate accounts debited or credited. All clothing and equipment received at this Arsenal aggregating over 214,289 pieces were checked, inspected and stored for subsequent issue. Upon receipt of requisitions, property was selected, repacked in desired quantities and shipped to organizations. Pursuant to General Order No.3, The Adjutant General's Office, dated January 18, 1941, authorizing the guarding of all Armories in the State, this Arsenal shipped to each Armory sufficient cots and bedding for guards on duty (See Appendix No.1). All such property was subsequently returned pursuant to General Order No.9, The Adjutant General's Office, :March 20, 1941, which withdrew guards from Armories. This bedding was checked, inspected and crated for storage. Small quantities of essential field equipment to be used for emergency and training purposes were purchased from the War Department (See Appendix No.1). Upon the request of the Commanding General, New York Guard, this Arsenal shipped to Camp Smith sufficient quantities of Cots, bedding and kitchen utensils to anticipate the needs of the Offieel's' Training School during the period August 17th to 23rd, 1941. Upon the termination of the school all property was left at Camp Smith for the use of regiments participating in week-end training activities at the Camp. During the weeks of August 20th and 27th this property was repacked and transported by truck (one Arsenal truck, I1j2 ton and one truck borrowed from Camp Smith) to this Arsenal. During the week of October 2nd this Arsenal supplied certain emergency field equipment (cups, covers, canteens) to organizations participating in maneuvers with the Regular Army. On October 6th prior to the second issuance of contract awards for additional clothing to compensate for the authorized increase in

strength, there remained a small balance of clothing in the warehouse that had not been distributed under the old Tables of Organization. An equitable distribution amounting to six percent (6%) of all stock on hand was issued to all organizations to provide a small surplus for the stock of the Regimental Supply Officer. (2) MEDICAL There were 34 items of medical property purchased by the State. Seven (7) of these items, all minimum first aid supplies, were immediately shipped to organizations. The balance vms stored at this Arsenal available for immediate call. (See Appendix No.2). One (1) procurement requisition was initiated and forwarded to the War Department for medical property available for' purchase by the New York Guard (See Appendix No.2.). Administrative work for the New York Guard involved the same detail as that of the National Guard, with the exception, of course, that new records, Warehouse Books, files, etc., had to be inaugurated and maintained. This Section was particularly handicapped in that, transportation was not always immediately available for 'local shipments. The one (1) small State truck (llh ton) only carried small loads, necessitating many" shuttle trips", and when on a specific detail covering a period of a few days (see paragraph re equipment for Officers' Training School, Peekskill) all local shipments ceased until the truck was again free. This presents serious difficulties in a l\filitary organization where the speed of supply is of supreme importance and time is of the essence.

will be effected under the same system l;lS obtained for the National Guard, i.e., by representatives of the Corps Area Ordnance Officer. The 8th Regiment has already been so inspected. Repeated attempts by this officeto obtain additional ammunition from the War Department for the use of the New York Guard have been unsuccessful-it is to be hoped that this condition will be remedied in the near future. All items of ordnance equipment designated for use of the-New York Guard have been received with the exception of pistols (or revolvers). According to present tables of organization, the total number of pistols (or revolvers) authorized is 2,001. This figure does not include the Signal Company, a new organization, the present tables of organization for which do not indicate the type of weapon with which it is intended this company shall be armed. The only other organization which has not received any ordnance equipment is the Headquarters Detachment, New York Guard which is designated to be armed only with the pistol (or revolver).

Transportation

Section

Transportation of Federal Property required the issue of one hundred and forty-one (141) Government bills of lading, at an estimated cost of $1,306.34. Freight shipments to the New York Guard required five hundred and eighty-four (584) State bills of lading, at a cost of $3,742.60. A total of one hundred and forty-nine (149) Express shipments were made to the New York Guard at a cost of $90.06. In connection with Government bills of lading and transportation requests, the following reports were prepared monthly: a. Report of Transportation b. Report of Shipments c. Report of Transportation Requests and Bills of Lading

Requests Used

A monthly report of all State shipments was forwarded to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the State was credited with prescribed drayage allowances. To date there has been an approximate rebate of $90.00. This rebate has been made possible by the use of the truck assigned to this Arsenal for conveying shipments to and from railroad yards.

Warehouse Section
During the first six months of this year, this section was required to operate in a dual capacity for the proper receipt, inspection, and warehousing and shipment of both Federal and State property, and as such was required to maintain separate and distinct records for the property of each of these agencies. From January to June 30th of this year, the National Guard organizations which were inducted into the Federal Service during this period were equipped for field service with articles of Federal issue and upon

completion of the induction of all units of the National Guard the Federal Government required the return to Federal depots all remaining stock prior to June 30th. This requirement implied the selection, packing and handling of property incidental to shipment to the designated depots. Simultaneously the property procured by the State for the use of the New York Guard wasbeing received, inspected, warehoused and issued. The accuracy and care exercised in cleaving to a clearly defined separation of these two activities is reflected in the fact that the accounts covering. Federal property were cleared to zero balances as indicated elsewhere in this report, and that a minimum of over, short, and damaged reports were received from organizations of the New York Guard to whom State Property was shipped.

operation. The sl).ipping activity of the Quartermaster section was moved to and concentrated in the center section of the building where bins and selection and packing units were established, and where broken lots of clothing and equipment were stored. The main floor space sections flanking the centered shipping section were utilized for the storage of property in buIlL A physical inventory of all stock w.as taken during the month of August, the results of which reflected further proof of the accuracy of the operations of this section, during the previous period of doubled activity. < \ In anticipation of the call of one or more organizations of the New York Guard for active duty at any time during the day or night, a plan for the prompt issuance and delivery of essential emergency items of equipment not regularly issued to all organizations was placed in effect. This plan as it affected this section, required the preparation for issue, including the repacking in special containers of such items 8;s blankets and other bedding, mess equipment, canteens, haversacks, cups and covers, etc. This property has been specially marked and segregated from that intended for normal issue. The necessary papers to effect the transportation of this property by truck, rail, or such means as may be directed by higher authority have been prepared and are available in special containers for action by the first officer directed to handle the shipment.

Construction

Section

'rhe planning, supervision and inspection details for new construction and maintenance and repair work at National Guard Camps for which the National Guard Bureau allotted $365,857.21 occupied the full time of this section during the year. Chief among the projects which were approved were the completion of the new Infantry Brigade Camp at Pine Camp and the construction of six (6) Motor Storage Buildings at Camp Smith, Peekskill. The incidental work and details of these two projects are as follows:

Completion of New Infantry Brigade Camp

Twenty-four (24) combination kitchens and mess halls were constructed at a total cost of $181,535.25. The exterior design of these buildings conforms generally to the already existing installations in the new camp for which funds were previously allotted and which are of concrete block and concrete foundation construction. The interior finish of these twenty-four buildings differs generally from the original buildings in that the kitchen portion of each building is tiled from floor to ceiling with a white glazed ceramic tile. The introduction of this type of material into these buildings was in the interest of sanitation and cleanliness which is an absolute essential in the preparation of food stuffs. The mess hall portion of each building was faced with a glazed architectural terra cotta wainscot approximately 3' in height. The walls above this work

..,

are plastered with a grey cement plaster. This combination has afforded a very pleasant finish to the interior of the buildings. In addition to the general construction, these buildings were equipped with standard cooks' tables, shelving, work tables and mess hall dining tables. Motor Storage Buildings, Oamp Smith The construction of six (6) motor storage buildings 62' x 202' for the storage of organizational vehicles was projected during the year at a total cost of $137,384.10. These buildings are of concrete block and concrete foundation construction. Roof construction consists of steel trusses and purlins and the roof covering is of asbestosprotected metal. Due to delays in delivery of certain strategic materials, the contract which was to have been completed in October was extended indefinitely. However, this project is at present approximately 60% complete and present indications are that completion will be effected within another two months. Ma,intenance and Repair Work In addition to the major new construction items, there were other repair and minor installation projects.

Building Maintenance Section With the existing emergency in mind, protective measures for the New York State Arsenal have had precedence in the work of the building maintenance section. Four guardhouses (one at each gate) have been built and are in use by the Guard. These structures are wired for light. Eight floodlight stanchions have been erected, wired and lamps installed. These are protected by an iron screen covering.

An audio intercommunication has been installed between the guardhouses, the guard post at the main building entrance, the guard quarters and the office of the Officer of the Guard. The fence surrounding the Arsenal grounds has been topped with three strands of barbed wire. An alarm bell has been installed to enable the entrance guard to summon the reserves in an emergency. A foot path of flagging was laid entirely around the building for the use of the guards in making station rings. Fire e~tinguishers and fire pails have been installed to supplement existing fire control appliances. In addition to the protective measures outlined above, this section also carried out a number of maintenance and improvement projects among which were: Painting of all exterior iron and steel work, including fence surrounding the grounds. Concrete platform erected to facilitate ash removal. Interior walls in all offices and stairways washed. Concrete and glass panel truck washing enclosure constructed in garage. Terra cotta brick wall, cement faced, 50' long, 12' wide constructed on fourth (warehouse) floor to house office of Chief of Warehouse Section. Property bins have been erected to safeguard property and facilitate handling. Tel-kee system has been installed for safekeeping of all building keys. A baling machine, which is on loan from the Federal Government, is used to bale all waste paper accumulated in the building and this paper is sold each month; the proceeds being forwarded to The Adjutant General for transmittal to the State Comptroller. Practically all of the foregoing improvements have been effected by Arsenal employees.

VETERANS' RELIEF

..

Under Chapter 589, Laws of 1922, a commission to be known as the New York Veterans' Relief Commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, to be chairman thereof, the Comptroller and The Attorney General, was created for the purpose of distributing relief to sick and disabled veterans of the World War. For the purpose of administering this act $1,000,000.00 was appropriated. Under chapter 326, Laws of 1923, this commission was abolished .. and a separate bureau was created in the office of The Adjutant General to be known as the Bureau for the Relief of Sick and Disabled New York Veterans. Under this chapter an additional million dollars ($1,000,000.00) was approved. Of this total $68,891.29 reverted to the State treasury through lack of re-appropriation. Under chapter 605, Laws of 1928, Chapter 41 of the Laws of 1909 entitled" An act in relation to the militia, constituting chapter 36 of the Consolidated Laws" was amended by adding Article lA, thus establishing the administration of relief as part of the l\1:ilitary Law. In' order to carry out the provisions of the above law, the Legislature under chapter 709, laws of 1931, appropriated $75,000.00. In 1932 $100,000.00 was obtained through the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration from funds appropriated under chapter 567. In 1933, $50,000.00was appropriated under chapter 120 and in 1934, an appropriation of $200,000.00 was received, from the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration from funds .appropriated under chapter 273 and $50,000.00 from General Funds under chapter 20. Under chapter 930, laws of 1939 and amended by chapter 877, laws of 1940 and chapter 100 part 5, laws of 1941 $100,000.00 was appropriated making a gross total available of $2,506,169.71. Since the institution of the Bureau many thousand requests for relief from sick and disabled, needy, unemployed, honorably discharged veterans of the World War have been received. These applications were thoroughly investigated and a majority of these were rejected due to the fact that they did not come within the meaning of our law. However, to date 12,391 cases were approved of which 10,763 are active or have been paid the maximum allowed under our law and 1,628 are in our rejected files for various reasons.

Aetual payments for relief of siek and disabled veterans to date amount to $2,133,552,46.Expenses of relief commissioner and administration to date are $336,556.80. The expendable balance is $35,943.71in chapter 930, laws of 1939 and amended by chapter 877 laws of 1940 and chapter 100, part 5, laws of 1941. The bureau is represented by a resident commissioner in eaeh assembly district throughout the State. The eommissioner makes the necessary investigation to determine the eligibility of an applicant to be given relief. He prepares all papers, makes the relief payments, renders the periodical reports and returns and discharges the multiplicity of duties that must necessarily result from the position. These gentlemen serve without pay; they give their time and efforts to the work without recompense and altogether are rendering a service to the State of a high patriotic value.
Recruiting Bureau

This bureau continued to be very active during the winter and spring of the year due to the induction of the National Guard. Only men of the highest type obtainable are being enlisted for theNew York Guard.
Bureau of Files, Mail and Distribution

During the year there were four hundred four (404) issues of publications on training, Army Regulations and other pamphlets received from the Federal Government for distribution to the National Guard of the United States in addition to the necessary State forms for the newly organized New York Guard. One thousand seven hundred fifty-three (1,753) requisitions for forms were filled and distributed to the New York Guard. There were also twenty-two (22) General Orders, ten (10) Bulletins of this officeand twentyfive (25) General Orders printed for the New York Guard headquarters. There were five hundred sixty (560) jobs run on the mimeograph consisting of specifications for the Grounds andStructures Bureau, also Special Orders and Circulars.
Bureau of War Records

The activities of this Bureau are those described in the report of this Bureau for the year 1935. The Bureau is still engaged in compiling World War records by counties, in addition to its normal activities.
Bureau of World War Records

Under constitutional authority a bonus for the New York State Veterans of the World War was provided pursuant to Chapter 19, Laws of 1924. The sum of $45,000,000 was realized from the sale of bonds authorized by law, this sum having been augmented by

premiums amounting to $695,565, the latter sum also being "appropriated for bonus purposes under Chapter 208, Laws of 1925. A Commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, the Comptroller, the Treasurer and the Attorney General, administered the disbursement until April 22, 1926 when its functions were absorbed by The Adjutant General. Each eligible veteran, upon application, received the sum of $10.00 for each month of service with the colors, between April 6, 1917 and November 11, 1918, with $150.00 as the maximum payment. Under Chapter 209, Laws of 1925, an additional appropriation of $2,500,000 was made. Chapter 26, Laws of 1925, added the next of kin to those who were killed or died in the service or prior to February 28, 1924, as eligible to receive the bonus. Under Chapter 267, Laws of 1926, a further appropriation of $300,000 was approved. Chapter 676, Laws of 1931, extended the time for filing claims to July 1, 1932 and made an appropriation of $250,000. At an extraordinary session of the Legislature in 1931 to carry ,out the provisions of an act creating a temporary emergency relief administration, the sum of $584,000 was appropriated by Chapter 799 for the payment of bonuses, $30,000 of which was made available for administration expenses. Under Chapter 120, Laws of 1933, an additional appropriation of $90,000 was made for bonus payments and $25,000 for administrative expenses. The unexpended balances of these appropriations were reappropriated each year by the Legislature and were made available in the Executive Budget of 1936, Chapter 15, Laws of 1936. This chapter amended by a substitute bill, Chapter 360, Laws of 1936, eliminated these reappropriations and refunded the unexpended balances amounting to $72,824.92 to the General Fund. By Chapter 875, Laws of 1936, $10,000 of this refunded amount was reappropriated and made available for one year beginning July 1, 1936. This action of the Legislature automatically closed the Bureau on June 30, 1937, and suspended the payment of bonuses on that date. Chapter 40, Laws of 1937 reappropriated $200 of the unexpended balance of the appropriation made by Chapter 875, Laws of 1936, for incurred liabilities and created the Bureau . of World War Records in the Adjutant General's Office to take over the records of the Bonus Bureau. Chapter 700, Part 2, Laws of 1938 appropriated $1,111.33 for the payment of suspended claims which had been approved during the previous year and Chapter 460, Part 2, Laws of 1939 appropriated $1,045.67 to pay claims approved during the year of 1938, Chapter 877, Part 2, and Chapter 125, Part 2, Laws of 1940 appropriated a total sum of $1,433.00 to pay claims approved during the year of 1939 and Chapter 100, Part 2, Laws of 1941 appropriated a total sum of $739.34 to pay claims approved during the year of 1940. During the operation of the Bureau there has been appropriated for bonus purposes $49,422,894.34 out of which there has been paid in bonuses and administrative costs the sum of $49,350,064.76 and in a refund to the General Fund, $72,829.58.

GENERAL

Under the original law no claims could be received after May 1, 1927. The Bureau reopened April 23, 1931 and closed for the receipt of applications July 1, 1932 during which period 10,135 new claims were received. The total claims received were 427,799 or 82 per cent of the 518,864 veterans credited to the State. Of the number received, 9,274 or .0215% were rejected as not entitled to the bonus. There are still 4,869 or .0115% of the claims received awaiting action by the Bureau due to the delay of the veteran in supplying required data. Of the total received 413,664 or 96% were paid at the rate of $1.85 per claim. Of the total veterans entitled to make application 91,065 or 18% failed to make a claim although 15,108 of this number applied for blanks. Their requests however, had to be denied owing to the fact that they applied after the time limit, July 1, 1932. The average payment per claim was $117.23 or 78% of the maximum amount allowed, $150.00. Of the total claims received 25,257 applicants were not credited by the authorities in Washington as having enlisted from the State of New York. Of the claims awaiting action there are being received from time to time letters from the applicants supplying sufficient data to warrant the payment of these applications. During the past year four (4) of these applications in the amount of $389.99 have been approved for payment. These claims have been segregated and a request has been made to the Legislature for an appropriation sufficient to pay them. During the operation of the Bureau many activities developed other than the payment of the bonus. Being an office of record constant inquiries are being received from governmental, civic and veteran agencies and private sources relative to pertinent information regarding the services of veterans and certified copies of papers submitted with bonus applications for use in furthering claims for compensation, tax exemption, civil service examinations, retirements, promotions and for other and varied purposes. From experience with the records of the Civil and Spanish wars, which are still active, undoubtedly the records of this Bureau will remain in demand for some time to come. Personnel Bureau The functions of the Personnel Bureau are those described in the report of the activities of this bureau for 1935. Appointments aind sepa,rations of officers.-During the year 1941 military commissions and separations wereeftected as follows:

Medals for Valor were awarded during the

Conspicuous Service Cross.-Under the provisions of Section 247, Military Law, twenty-five (2.5) Conspicuous Service Crosses were awarded to various applicants during the year 1941. Decorations for Long and Faithful. Service.-During the year 1941, two hundred seventy-four (274) Decorations for Long and Faithful Service of the various classes were awarded to applicants as follows:
Special Class First Class Second Class Third Class Fourth Class (35 years (25 years (20 years (15 years (10 years service).... . . . . . . .. . . . . service). . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . service)... . .. . .. . . . . . . . service). . . . . . . . . . . . . service).... . . . . .. . . . . . . 2 7 32 144 89

The large number of Third Class awards is accounted for by the fact that a large number of applications were necessarily held over from the previous three years because of insufficient appropriation during such years. The present appropriation for the purchase of this decoration is inadequate and should be fixed at not less than nine thousand dollars ($9,000) due to increasing demands caused by members of the National Guard remaining in service for longer periods than heretofore .

APPENDIX A
Report of the Commanding General, New York Guard In accordance with the requirements of paragraph 6, Regulations No. 80, I have the honor to submit the following report on the affairs of the New York Guard for the calendar year 1941. 1. General. The New York Guard is completing its first year of service. Steady and definite progress has been made in welding the organization into disciplined and trained military units, ready to serve their State as the first line of defense in an emergency. There are deficiencies in training and in equipment of course. The training deficiencies are recognized and are receiving the close attention of the Commanding Officers for correction. The deficiencies in equipment are receiving the sympathetic action of higher authorities. The spirit, morale and enthusiasm of our officers and men are gratifying, and are an inspiration tothe staff officers of these Head., quarters who have seen them at work. The men of the New York Guard have manifest desire loyally to serve the State in this serious hour in our State's history. I am proud to command such men.

2. Strength. At the start of the year the authorized strength of the New York Guard was 13,689 officers and enlisted men. Circular No.1, Adjutant General's Office, Albany, February 1,1941, authorized an increase of 87 engineer officers with assignment as follows: 2 captains, Assistant Engineers, to the Headquarters New York Guard; 1 major to each Brigade Headquarters; 1 captain to each Regimental Headquarters; 1 first lieutenant to each Battalion Headquarters. These engineer officers are the technical advisers. to their commanders in all matters pertaining to engineering problems that may arise. By General Orders No. 15, Adjutant General's Office, Albany, September 22, 1941, the strength of the New York Guard was increased by the addition of 1 signal company with a strength of 3 officers and 58 enlisted men; in each Brigade Headquarters Detachment a signal communications section of 1 officer and 15 enlisted men; in each Regimental Headquarters and Service Company an increase of 9 enlisted men in the service platoon and the formation of a Signal Communications Section in the Headquarters platoon of 1 officer and 15 enlisted men; in each rifle company an increase of 14 enlisted men; in each Battalion Headquarters Detachment 1 enlisted man, an increase of 28 officers and 3,193 enlisted men. . During the year there was a'loss of 5,056 enlisted men, the details of which are given in Appendix No.1. Seventy per cent of this loss was" for the convenience of the State" from men who had lost

interest and who failed to attend drills. Undoubtedly these men enlisted from a patriotic spirit and later for various reasons seemed to have lost interest in the Guard. The average strength in officers and men since March, 1941, when the strength report~ were initiated, was 12,228, as shown in Appendix No.2. During the year there was a loss of 181 officers, the details of which appear in Appendix No.3. 3. Attendance. The average attendance at armory drills for the year was 82.9% as shown in Appendix No.2. Attendance reports were only initiated commencing March 1, 1940, as the organization of the units had not progressed sufficiently to warrant reports prior to that time. The attendance figures as shown in Appendix No.2 are considered satisfactory in view of reports that the major reasons for absence from drills are late hours of employment. 4. Organization. The dates of muster-in of all the units of the New York Guard are shown in Appendix No.4. It will be noted that the first muster-in occurred on December 10, 1940, and the muster of the last of the initial units authorized took place on May 6, 1941. The 1st Signal Company, the last unit authorized, was mustered in on November 12, 1941. . The 12th and 22nd Regiments were authorized for organization December 5, 1941. These are regimental numbers, each with an historical background. They will be housed in the armories located respectively at 120 West 62nd Street, and 216 Fort Washington Avenue, New York, N. Y. 5. Training. Training Objective and Doctrines. The training of the New York Guard presents a special problem, as it is a State military force which serves as a general reserve, to be used by the Governor to reenforce the normal civil law enforcement agencies in emergencies arising out of domestic disturbances. Its logical training objective, therefore, is to organize, train and prepare to operate as regiments and separate battalions so as to become an efficient armed force, competent to combat and overcome the resistance of unorganized or semi-organized forces in domestic disorders, within the borders of the State, to guard public utilities and power plants, waterworks, vital highway bridges, railroad yards and bridges, etc., to control crowds and prevent panics, and to observe and suppress active subversive elements. The tactical doctrines and methods for the New York Guard are those pertaining to the use and conduct of troops in military situations arising out of domestic disturbances. The tactical teachings of the Regular Army in modern methods of combat between highly organized and trained forces do not apply to state troops. Only those Regular Army teachings and methods that can he adapted and used to advantage by state forces under domestic disturbance conditions should be adopted and taught. The foregoing are the principles and doctrines which govern the training of the New York Guard.

Field Training. During the months of July, August, September and October a number of r~giIllents from New York City, at their own expense, spent week-ends at Camp Smith for range practice with service ammunition 'and other training of the men. Several regiments conducted training over week-ends in a donated area on Long Island. Some up-state regiments had week-end training periods in areas in proximity to home stations. The 5th Brigade, located on Long Island and reenforced by Long Island units of other brigades, participated in a n!ght maneuver at Fort Tilden, in collaboration with Regular Army units, on the night of October 10, 1941. The observations and reports of these week-end field training periods indicate the necessity that the troops should have some experience in field exercises, not alone as a matter of instruction, but also as a psychological factor in the morale of the units. This field training can be given in one period of 7 or 8 days, or in 3 or 4 week-end periods of 2 or 3 days each, not exceeding a total of 8 days -this at the discretion of the regimental commanders.

..

Schools. A school for officers was conducted at Camp Smith from August 17 to 23, 1941. The State provided funds for additional personnel for the police and service of the camp and the purchase of certain equipment. The cost of transportation and subsistence was borne by the students. See Appendix No.5 for other details. It was an intensive course of instruction on subjects of importance to the New York Guard. The School was satisfactory, as attested by the spontaneous expressions of the student officers. Schools for the training of officers,non-commissioned officersand specialists were established throughout the command along the same lines as in the Army. A serious deficiency is the lack of competent military instructors among officers and non-commissioned officers. Under existing conditions these instructors must come from within the Guard. Schools are the means of locating and developing these instructors, and also are important factors in the efficiency of the units. Inspections. Under instructions contained ill letter from the War Department, dated October 13, 1941, subject: "Inspections of Training of State Guard Organizations," the Commanding General 2nd Corps Area, Governors Island, New York, instituted inspections of New York Guard units on December 1, 1941, and they will be carried through into January, 1942. General Phillipson, personally, will inspect 3 regiments. Reports of these inspections will follow presently. Visits of inspection to up-state units at the stations of the Brigade and Regimental Headquarters were made by the Chief of Staff and by the Assistant Chief of Staff G-4for the purpose of discussing training problems and matters pertaining to supply and equipment and property records. In the interests of economy these visits were necessarily restricted. One phase of inspections, those

GENERAL'S

REPORT

planned to be made by the immediate battalion, regimental and brigade commanders, was omitted due to lack of funds. Visits were made by officers at their own expense. This is really a serious problem which will be largely corrected through Headquarters Allowances and Military Funds.

6. Equipment. The publicity items that appeared late in November stating that the Governor had issued a Certificate of Intent for $615,000 for providing two-piece woolen uniforms, regulation length woolen overcoats and other equipment for the New York Guard, had a very stimulating effect on the spirit and morale of both officers and enlisted men. An undercurrent of dissatisfaction had been noted among the enlisted men in regard to the uniform. Their officers and they have felt that it was below the standard of the uniform that a soldier should have. All this has been materially changed by the reports that proper uniforms may soon be forthcoming. Individual Equipment. A serious shortage is the lack of essential individual equipment, consisting of mess kit, haversack, pack carrier, helmet, gas mask, shelter tent and blankets, indispensable for active duty in the field. Fifteen hundred sets of this equipment have been procured by the State; two sets have been issued to each company for training and instruction, and the remaining 1100 sets are in reserve in the Brooklyn Arsenal for emergencies. We estimate that this reserve equipment will equip two regiments at their present authorized strength. Ammunition. A serious deficiency is ammunition. There have been issued 10 rounds of service ammunition per rifle, with instructions that it would not be fired, but would be held in reserve in the armories. An additional 5 rounds per rifle are in reserve in the Brooklyn Arsenal. No service ammunition has been made available for firing practice. Such limited firing practice as has been held by units was with ammunition purchased privately. There was some gallery practice firing for which 10 rounds per rifle were issued. This is obviously inadequate. At recent inspections it developed that many men had never fired the rifle. Chemical Weapons. Another grave deficiency is in chemical warfare weapons. The efficiency and harmless characteristics of tear gas have been clearly proven. Frenzied mobs have been broken up without casualties. Difficult arrests have been made without endangering citizens' lives through stray bullets. rrear gas is a humane and efficient weapon in handling, overcoming and dispersing unruly crowds and frenzied mobs. For training and instruction there have been issued 8 practice hand grenades, one gas gun and two practice gas gun grenades. In reserve in the Brooklyn Arsenal there are 190 gas gun grenades and 188 tear gas hand grenades, held there for emergencies. For training and instruction there have also been issued 10 gas masks per regiment, with 28 gas masks in reserve in the Arsenal. In situations,arising out of domestic disturbances,

'

REPORT OF THE COMMANDING GENERAL

.'

which may confront the New York Guard, chemical warfare service weapons such as gas guns, gas gun grenades and particularly gas hand grenades, are of outstanding importance. There sholildbe an increase in practice grenades for training and instruction to give the men the skill in their use. We urge that there should be in reserve in the Brooklyn Arsenal at least 1500 hand grenades, combination tear and nauseating gas, and 500 grenades, hand, triple chaser. The gas guns cal. 1% inch with case should be increased from 25 to 66 on a basis of one per battalion, with 25 rounds of gas grenades per gun.
Special Weapons. Another efficient weapon for use in law enforcement situations is the cal. .45 sub-machine gun of a type like the H. & R. Reising gun, which can be obtained at a reasonable cost. The regulation rifle with service ammunition has an excessivelylong range and deep penetration. The Reising sub-machine gun has an extreme range of about 600 yards, with an effective range of 250 to 300 yards, and possesses the characteristics of a light machine gun, and is a most effective weapon in confronting unruly crowds and mobs. There are on hand now 12 Thompson sub-machine guns cal. .45. This should be increased to 792, preferably the Reising cal. .45 sub-machine gun. Three Reising sub-machine guns can be obtained for the price of one Thompson gun. It is proposed to make active the machine gun companies "D", "H" and "M" in each regiment, and call them the Special Weapons Company, arming each company with 12 sub-machine guns, 6 riot guns 12 gauge, which are now on hand, 1 gas gun, with a grenadier squad to operate the chemical weapons. The sub-machine guns, the gas gun, the shotguns and the hand grenades will constitute very effective weapons for this unit, and have a strong psychological effect on the opponent. Gas Masks. In the use of chemical weapons by State forces, and for protection against these weapons in the hands of the enemy, a gas mask for every soldier is essential and should be provided. 7. Permanent Plant. New York Guard Headquarters. Headquarters New York Guard have occupied, for the entire period of this report, the officesformerly occupied by New York National Guard Headquarters in the State OfficeBuilding, 80 Centre Street, New York, N. Y. The sum of $35,000was granted by the Legislature for the operation of these Headquarters for the fiscal year 1941-42. This represented a reduction of $15,000 from the $50,000 allotted by certificate of intent for our operation during the fiscal year 1940-4l. The smaller sum of $35,000 would not of itself have been enough for Personal Service and Maintenance-and-Operation in the current fiscal year, but there fortunately remained an' unexpended balance of $10,402,42from the sum allotted to us for 1940-41, and this became available to our use on July 1st of the present year. It is only by rigid adherence to the economy which has been practiced since

52

GENERAL'S REPORT

the New York Guard came into being that we shall be able to see the fiscal year 1941-42 through on the total of approximately $45,000, and a budgetary request for $50000 has been made for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1942.

Camp Smith. Brigadier General Georg'e A. Herbst, Chief of Staff, New York Guard, was appointed Officer in Charge and Control of Camp Smith, by paragraph 1, Special Orders No. 93, Headquarters New York Guard, dated August 26, 1941, effective July 1, 1941, vice Major General Mundy, New York National Guard, Retired. An understanding was reached with The Adjutant General, Albany, whereby Brigadier General George A. Herbst was relieved, from responsibility of the property and equipment at Camp Smith, by Colonel H. W. Taylor, New York National Guard retired list, Superintendent of Camp Smith, who took over this property. 8. Administration. In June of this year, in collaboration with The Assistant Adjutant General, a system for the control and administration of property records for the New York Guard was devised, regulations were set up and instructions were issued to all units of the organization for standard procedure in respect to property accounting, record and administration. The system of regulations closely parallels that used by the Regular Army except where State regulations or lack of Regular Army forms required deviation. The system is bringing excellent results. Detailed inspections of all personnel administrative records of units in the 1st, 2nd and 5th Brigades were made by staff officers from these Headquarters. Their recommendations for a re-standardization of personnel records will be made the subject of a later report. On October 2, 1941 and November 25, 1941 conferences were held in New York City attended by the Chief of Staff, and the five Brigade Commanders, called and presided over by the Commanding General. At the first conference The Adjutant General was present. The purpose of these conferences was to discuss the urgent needs and requirements of the New York Guard, and to establish important policies. They produced good results. The Judge Advocate of the New York Guard and his Assistant have been engaged since May, 1941, in writing a legal manual, tentatively entitled "Law of State Military ~"orces," setting forth the powers and limitations, the rights and liabilities of officers and men, when on active duty. The sum of $1,000 was allotted by The Adjutant General to cover certain costs involved. The Judge Advocate is being ably assisted in this work by several professors of Fordham University. It is proposed to mimeograph the draft of this manual and to send copies to the Attorneys General and Adjutant Generals of all of the States, and to a number of selected professors in schools, colleges and universities, and eminent men of the legal profession, for their comments, criticisms and recommendations. This manual will be comprehensive in its scope, will be

REPORrr OF TIlE COMMANDING GENERAL

of great value to all state military forces, and will no doubt reflect great credit upon the New York Guard. 9. ReCOYit11Wndations. The following recommendations are submitted for urgent consideration: (1) That complete individual equipment be provided for each officer and enlisted man consisting of mess kit, haversack, pack carrier, helmet, gas mask, shelter tent and blankets. (2) That full kitchen equipment be provided. (3) That Headquarters Allowances and Military Funds be provided under the provisions of Sections 216 and 218, Military Laws. (4) That funds for the cost of field training, not to exceed 8 days, in areas in proximity to the station of the units, be provided, the cost to include transportation and subsistence. (5) That ammunition for indoor range practice, for firing with service ammunition on outdoor ranges, and an adequate reserve for emergencies be provided. (6) That the activation of Companies "D", "H" and "M" in each regiment be authorized and weapons be procured on a basis per company of 12 cal. .45 H. & R. Reising sub-machine guns, 1 gas gun 11/2 inch cal. (6 riot guns per battalion are already available in each regiment). (7) That the following chemical warfare ammunition be provided: 1500 hand grenades, combination tear and nauseating. 500 grenades, hand, triple chaser. 1650 grenades, gas gun. Personally, I desire to express to you my sincere appreciation, and the gratitude of the New. York Guard as a whole, for your sympathetic understanding and staunch support. The whole-hearted and unfailing cooperation and helpfulness of The Adjutant General, his able assistants in Albany and at the State Arsenal in Brooklyn in the many problems that have confronted these Headquarters are gratefully acknowledged. I hope that what we have tried to accomplish may warrant and merit your approbation.

APPENDIX
The Report of the Commanding

Officer, New York Naval Militia

1. The following annual report on the New York Naval Militia for the period December 1, 1940 to November 30, 1941 is submitted in accordance with Par. 6, R-80, Regulations for the Military Forces of the State of New York. 2. Strength and Attendance. The total strength of the Brigade has decreased from 2396 officers and men on December 1, 1940 to 1926 officers and men as of November 30, 1941. This_loss is due chiefly to discharges issued to men who were found physically unqualified for active duty with the Navy either prior to their being ordered to federal active duty or subsequent to their mobilization. These men were discharged from the U. S. Naval Reserve and corresponding action was taken in Naval Militia status under Par. 18, R-25, Military Regulations, S.N.Y. 3. Organization. The organization of the Brigade remained as reported under Paragraph 3 of the 1940 Annual Report, until all units were mobilized. 4. Training Duty. Inasmuch as all units were in active service prior to July 1, 1941, no regular annual two weeks period of training duty was performed. 5. Week End Cruises. Prior to the period of this report practically all small craft available for this purpose were placed in active service by the Navy. 6. Small Arms Pra.etice. Although a schedule for holding the Annual Small Arms Record Practice was set up for the remaining units, these units were either being mobilized on the dates set or preparing for imminent orders to duty and therefore this activity was cancelled. 7. Mobilization. The officers and men of the New York Naval Militia who have been mobilized in their U.S.N.R. status have been assigned to duty, afloat and ashore, in ships and stations of the United States Navy in various parts of the world. Typical examples of the variety of stations in which the members of the New York Naval Militia are now performing duty are contained in reports submitted for the 2nd Battalion and the 13th Division, copies of which are submitted herewith as enclosures (A) and (B). 8. Armories. Following mobilization all Naval Militia Armories are being maintained under the supervision of Reserve List Officers appointed in charge and control by the Adjutant General. The Armories of the 1st Battalion,. 2nd Battalion, and 33rd Division are being operated by the Navy Department and the Naval Militia Officersin Charge and Control are cooperating fully with the Navy Commanding Officers.

have been assigned to duty in the Canal Zone, and the Gulf of Mexico. 5. Twenty men of the 8th Division were mobilized on April 22, 1941, and transferred to the U.S.S. BAINBRIDGE and OVERTON. The balance of the Division was mobilized on May 11, 1941, and transferred to the Receiving Ship at Norfolk. The division, together with the men assigned to the BAINBRIDGE and OVERTON were later transferred to the U.S.S. ORIZABA. This vessel has made a trip to Iceland, and is now at sea, destination unknown. 6. Company "B", Marine Battalion, mobilized on November 9, 1940, and were transferred to Quantico. The Company is now scattered throughout Marine posts in this country and its bases. 8. The Second Battalion Armory has been taken over by the United States as a Receiving Station; and has also been designated as the Armed Guard Center of the Atlantic Coast. It is housing and subsisting crews of the British ships undergoing repairs and conditioning in the United States. It has also housed and subsisted the crews of many U. S. Naval vessels, including the PELIAS, CHATEAU THIERRY, SOLACE, MULBERRY, AMERICAN LEGION, and other vessels. The administration, equipping, training, recreation and distribution of armed guard units on merchant vessels will be done from this center. The Commanding Officer of the Battalion is Commanding Officer of the Receiving Station. 9. During World War No.1, the Second Battalion Armory was taken over by the United States Navy, and designated the FEDERAL RENDEZVOUS. During the period of 1917-19, approximately 15,000 officers and men passed through that station. Many other stations in the Third Naval District which were in use during the World War were dismantled; but the Second Battalion Armory is still functioning, and with very little alterations was in immediate readiness to accommodate approximately 3,000 officers and men.

2. This division has been mobilized under various dates as shown above and so far as cali be found out the division was not kept together although the greater majority are on board the D.S.S. CHENANGO, a Navy Tanker. In addition, other men were ordered to Destroyers, Patrol Boats, Submarines and various service schools while quite a few are taking part in the Atlantic Patrol. Some of the officers attached to this division or associated with the division were ordered to active duty previous to the division mobilization. As a matter of interest we are listing a list of those officers who have entered service who were either members of the Naval Militia at the time of mobilization or who had served as enlisted men with the division and were associated with this division for training

purposes, but were unable to join the Naval Militia due to lack of officervacancies.
Lieutenant Richard G. Aaron, Acting Engineer Officer, reported for active duty as Inspector of Submarines at Electric Boat Co. Lieutenant (jg) Winfield F. DeLong, Duty on Board Destroyers. Ensign Fred W. Gates, assumed commanding officer duties upon mobilization of Division and at present on board the D.S.S. CHENANGO. Lieutenant (jg) Kenneth J. Gustin, Supply Officer for the P.B.Y. Boats at Iceland. Ensign Allen J. Harris, a former member of the Naval Militia and associated with Division for Training, has command of one of the Motor Torpedo Boats. Ensign Danforth Huntington, a former member of the Division, and associated for training duty on board the D.S.S. CHENANGO. Ensign Charles W. Sloat, member of Naval Militia, assumed Command of the D.S.S.C. No. 431 and transferred vessel to Norfolk, Va., and reported for active duty on board the D.S.S. HANABLE upon completion of duty. At present on board some minesweeper;

The U.S.S.C. No. 431, a Submarine Chaser assigned to this division as training vessel for over eighteen years has been called into active duty and as a matter of interest this vessel is now being overhauled and completely equipped to assume her place in the Atlantic Patrol. The 13th Division has been the means of stimulating considerable interest in the Navy in this section of New York State and as a result a large part of the community is now serving in many capacities with the U. S. Navy. Through the efforts of officers of this division, a considerable number of specialists officershave been secured for the Navy as well as seven officerswho became officersthrough class V-7 activities. Considering the results of the Naval Militia Training it is felt that some means should be found to keep alive a Naval Militia Organization.

r-REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL December 31, 1942. The Governor of the State of New York, Albany, N. Y. SIR:-Pursuant to Section 17 of the Military Law and the provisions of Section 42 of Chapter 78 of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York, report for the year ending December 31, 1~42, is submitted. The past year has been one of great activity due to the war a6ainst the Axis powers and the New York National Guard which was completely inducted into the active service of the United States between the dates September 16, 1940 and March 10, 1941 continues in service. The New York Guard, which took its place, ' continues to improve after intensive training iIlCluding ten days j/ of field training at Camp Smith, New York, for all units last summer. Eighteen new units were added to the New York Guard since my last report. These comprise an additional company of the 6th Regiment, designated "D" with station at Rome, New York, two additional companies of the 74th Regiment, one at Dunkirk, New York, designated Company H, the other with station at Niag,ara Falls, New York, and designated Company M. The defense of the Long Island shore line was increased through the organization of two separate battalions of infantry in Suffolk and Nassau Counties with units stationed as follows: Headquarters .and Headquarters Detachment, 1st Separate Battalion, and Company D, at Bay Shore and Companies A, B, and C, 1st Separate Battalion, at Freeport, Farmingdale and Patchogue, respectively. The Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 2nd Separate Battalion, are stationed at Riverhead as is also Company A, that battalion, while Companies B. C and D are stationed at Quoque, Southampton and Southold, respectively. All of these units have been mustered-in with the exception of Company B, 2nd Separate Battalion and are performing weekly drills at improvised armories such as school auditoriums, v.acant stores, barns, etc., without expense to the State of New York, except for the military allowance authorized by Section 216 of the Military Law. In . accordance with popular, demand and to give the negro equitable / representation in the State military establishment, a new'battalion of negro troops has been authorized with station at 801 Dean Street, Brooklyn, New York. This armory was formerly occupied by Company L, 5th Regiment, which was transferred to the armory at 171 Clermont Avenue, Brooklyn, thereby grouping all of the third battalion of that regiment at that address. The new negro battalion in Brooklyn has been designated the 3rd Separate Batta[5]

lion, New York Guard, and the Honorable Myles A. Paige was COlllmissioned Major of Infantry and appointed Commanding Officer on December 2, 1942. No units have been mustered-in to date. Consistent with the policy of the State to cooperate in every way possible with the War Department in the war effort, the New York State Arsenal at 64th Street and 2nd Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, has been transferred to the United States Army for use during the emergency and the State Arsenal moved to the armory at 355 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. This effective December 15, 1942. rplw Hrd Battalion of the 13th Regiment formerly stationed at 335 Marcy Avenue was transferred to 357 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, thereby placing all of the units of the 13th Regiment in one armory. rrhis policy of cooperation also extends to many types of administrative matters the greatest volume of which is represented in requests for certificates of service from present and former members of the New York National Guard and Nuxal Militia now in active United States service. More than ten thousand such certificates have been supplied during the past year. rrhe demand was emphasized after Congress amended pay provisions for the United States Army to provide longevity pay for enlisted men.

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

United States Military Academy.-Due to the induction of the New York National Guard into United States service no competitive examination for entrance to the United States Military Academy was conducted during the year 1942,. Duty in aid of civil authority.-On July 19, 1942, it was necessary to order Company I, 74th Regiment, New York Guard, to full time duty in aid of civil authority at Olean, New York, during flood emergency. Two (2) officers and fifty-one (51) enlisted men responded. They were released from duty July 21, 1942. H,ines Attendance Trophy.-No contest due to the New York National Guard being in United States service. Strength.-The strength of the New York Guard on this date is sixteen thousand three hundred forty-two (16,342), including all ranks. A detailed report of strength is included under the report of the activities of the Personnel Bureau. Turnover of personnel.-The turnover of personnel of the New York Guard continues at a high rate largely due to entrance of both officers and enlisted men into the armed forces of the United States; through the "Guard" interfering with business or educational activities and the dropping of enlisted men for failure to attend drills. Of 16,057 enlisted men separated from the service for all purposes during 1942, 6,138 or 39% were to enter the armed forces of the United States; 4,613 or 29% gave business or educational excuses as the cause of their requests for separation and 2,853 or 17% were dropped because of failure to attend armory drills. The remaining 15% were discharged because of change of residence or other reasons not mentioned heretofore. Of the commissioned personnel 518 officers were separated from the New York Guard during 1942. As an officer, in resigning, is not obliged to state his reason for so doing, it cannot be officially stated how many of these resigned for the purpose of accepting appointments in the armed forces of the United States. However, information gathered from other reliable sources indicate a large percentage withdrew from the New York Guard for that purpose. To fill the vacancies created thereby and other existing vacancies in the New York Guard, 1,582 military commissions were issued in 19'42 as against 649 in 1941. Bureau reports.-For convenience in reference the remainder of this report is presented in sections dealing with the activities of the various bureaus 'of the division:
Finance Bureau Following is a statement of financial operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1942, including State appropriations for the general expenses of the military and naval establishment, expenses for armory maintenance and Federal funds allocated and expended during the same period:

Bureau of Equipment and Supply The New York State Arsenal building at 64th Street and 2nd Avenue, Brooklyn, was leased to the War Department effective December 15, 1942, for use by the N ew York Port of Embarkation, and new quarters were assigned by The Adjutant General in the armory of the 102nd Quartermaster Regiment at 355 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. This change of station entailed the removal of all State and Federal property in the value of several milliol)s of dollars, which move was accomplished entirely by employees of the New York State Arsenal with the assistance of ten civilian employees assigned by the Commanding General, New York Port of Embarkation. An idea of the magnitude of the undertaking may be gained by the fact that an average of over twenty truckloads of equipment a day were loaded at the old station and unloaded at the new, and that approximately five weeks were required for the operation. During 1942, the basic weapon of the New York Guard was changed from the U. S. Rifle, caI. .30, M.1917, to the 12 gauge shotgun; the details of the present armament are set forth in the Ordnance Section of this report. The New York Guard held a period of field training for the first time in 19'42 in which this office participated by arranging the transportation, subsistence and other necessary details incident to such training, and by the assignment of the Camp Quartermaster and two assistants from the personnel of this office. As a result of proceedings instituted by this office, the War Department allowed a claim in the amount of $195,310.42 for value of State property taken into the ~"ederal service by the New York National Guard in 1917. This claim was originally submitted in 1920, but due to loss of pertinent vouchers, etc., in the mails, had

not been pressed. In 1941, this office conducted an exhaustive :search of all records which included visits to Washington and Albany to check available data, and as a result, sufficient evidence was accumulated to satisfy the War Department of the validity of the claim, so that a favorable decision was arrived at. The money so allowed is not a cash award, but is in the form of a credit established by the 'N ar Department against which certain items of Federal property issued to the New York National Guard which may be lost or destroyed through unavoidable causes and which would normally require a cash payment by the State may be charged. rrhe accounts of the U. S. Property & Disbursing Officer were audited and closed and this officer relieved. The Assistant Adjutant General, State Quartermaster, was designated as Contracting and Authenticating Officer for the pUl'~ pose of administering' such appropriations as the National Guard Bureau may make available from time to time for maintenance of National Guard installations at camps, ri:He ranges, etc. On the recommendation of the State Quartermaster, the Commanding General, New York Guard, has issued instructions for a physical inventory of all property in the hands of organizations to be made by the several Brigade staffs. The details of operations of the several sections wbich follow indicate the activities and the equipment required in the maintenance of the New 'York Guard. Q~tar't er-rnas t er On January 1, 1942, there were 22 regiments, 5 Brigades, a Signal Company and a Headquarters Detachment, a total authorized strength of 17,140 within the State. All organizations had been initially equipped during the preceding year 'with basic items of clothing, i.e., leggings, oversuits, shirts, raincoats, shoes, and field caps, During the year 1942 the addition of the 1st, 2nd an d 3rd Separate Battalions, Co. U D ",6th Regiment, Coso " H " and "M", 74th Regiment, and an increased authorized strength of the entire Guard, necessitated the purchase by the Staie of .additional articles of clothing and equipment. Size eOTnpilations were completed and specifieations furnished for all articles of clothing and equipment purchased by the State during the year. These are listed in Appendix I (A & B). Upon recommendation of the Commanding General, New York Guard, there were purchased 87 Kitchen Utensil Sets, each set consisting of approximately 50 items. These sets were issued for field training purposes and are currently being stored at the Arsenal for emergeney use (See Appendix I-C). Fifteen (15) procurement requisitions were fonval'(lp(l 10 the War Department for 19 items of clothing and 40 items of equipage to be furnished without reimbursement by the State. Federal

property received during the year, included in this category, is listed in Appendix II. The War Department also made available certain "eec ", obsolete, and lend-lease clothing; however, procurement requisitions were acted upon only if the property thereon came within the available status of "Lend-Lease, Obsolete-Cee". All organizations are completely equipped with sufficient quantities of every article enumerated above, with the exception of trousers, wool, OD, and mackinaws, green. It has not been possible to make complete issues, due to size limitations. Requisition has been made upon the Army for additional trousers, wool, OD, in usable sizes, and for an exchange of mackinaws presently on hand which are too small for issue. The War Department having advised that all available stocks of trousers, W.O.D., are exhausted, the State has contracted for 10,000 pairs, delivery of which will commence in January 19'43. Size limitations have been a distinct handicap in the outfitting of the entire New York Guard. Size ranges of clothing purchased by the State were compiled by this office; however, because of limited purchases and the tremendous personnel turnover, a tariff size scale has been impossible to compute. At the beginning of the year the recruiting tendency was tow,ards younger men who were not effected by the army draft. Later the recruiting tendency' was to enlist the older individual who was uneffected by the draft, still later the draft age dropped to the 18-19 state. There was not sufficient clothing on hand to adequately fit the ever changing personnel. This condition was aggravated when property was received from the Federal government in sizes which were not suitable. Size requisitions had been submitted, but only available stock of the army was shipped which was in CCC, Lend-Lease,pnd Obsolete classifications. Since the eee was composed largely of young men and boys, it is apparent that the sizes present a real problem. Pursuant to provisions of General Order No.6, Hdqrs. New York Guard, dated April 3, 1942, shipments of Armory Guard bedding were made to all armories within the State. Two thousand seven hundred and forty-three requisitions were received, edited and processed for property required by organizations of the New York Guard, for which necessary postings were entered, shipping tickets prepared and appropriate accounts debited or credited. A record was kept of all property issued to the various units of the New York Guard as to manner and date of shipment. Request has been initiated to the War Department for additional issues of mess equipment, i.e., cans, meat; canteens, knives, forks, spoons, and other items of Quartermaster equipment, to the end that each individual in the New York Guard may be completely equipped. At present there is on hand 13,180of each item of mess equipment received from the Federal government. The strength of the New York Guard is 18,000. Advice has been received from the War Department that these and other items of equipment issues to the State Guard are under consideration.

All clothing and equipment received at this Arsenal, aggregating over 647,850 pieces, were checked, inspected and stored for subsequent issue. Upon receipt of organization requisitions, property was selected by size and type, repacked in desired quantities and shipped to organizations.

Field Training
Pursuant to General Orders No. 12, A.G.O. dated May 26, 1942, authorizing field training period, preparation was immediately made for the procurement of the many essential camp items necessary. Requisitions for such items as were available from Federal sources were immediately prepared, and forwarded to Hdqrs. Second Service Command. Procurement of all other items not available from Federal sources was initiated. Estimates of subsistence requirements necessary for the entire period were furnished the State Division of Standards and Purchase. The Camp Quartermaster and Assistant Camp Quartermaster were detailed to duty at Camp Smith from the personnel of this office. Based upon requirements of the Quartermaster, the Division of Standards and Purchase arranged for contracts with over 60 contractors for the purchase of subsistence stores. All contracts were constant, with the exception of fruits and vegetables which changed weekly. Food for approximately 14,000 troops of the New York Guard was furnished during field training period at a cost of $.7304 per trainee per day. In addition to subsistence requirements, the Quartermaster contracted for and issued, as required, dozens of camp maintenance items, such as, gasoline, oil, fuel oil, coal, wood, ice, chlorine, disinfectants, etc. The Camp Quartermaster also issued from the warehouse to all incoming regiments, such cleaning material as was required for the regimentallO-day tour. A few of these items included brooms, rags, matches, soap, etc. The Camp warehouse was also utilized to store clothing and equipment shipped by the New York State Arsenal, pending the arrival of up-State regiments, where shipments to widely spread units at their home station would have caused considerable delay, inconvenience, and additional expense. Purchase and issue of subsistence supplies by the Camp Quartermaster was made exceedingly difficult, due to attendant war circumstances, i.e., gas rationing, rubber 'rationing. The majority of contractors were in New York City. These contractors would make only one delivery a week, and then only on a day that their particular trucks covered that route. This required the ordering of meats and its storage in the Quartermaster's refrigerator for a six day period. The staples were contracted for by the Division of Standards and Purchase, and were ordered by the Quartermaster in bulk for the entire period. rrhey were stored in the commissary and their issue was both expeditious and convenient.

rrhe consensus of opinions from organization commanders, Medical Officers, and men, was to the effect. that all subsistence supplies issued were of the best quality. All meats and other perishables were inspected by Inspectors from the Division of Standards and Purchase. Emergency rations of salmon and pork and beans were always available in the event of late deliveries by contractors or spoilage. The majority of Quartermaster property was issued by the Quartermaster to the first two regiments in camp. These regiments successively transferred such property to the incoming organizations, included among this property were 11 kitchen utensil sets, 700 mattresses, 800 blankets, 700 cots; bulbs, milk cans, G.I. cans, etc. Requisition was made upon the Army for sufficient transportation which would be necessarily attendant to field training. Such transportation was necessary for baggage movements, troop movements, daily subsistence issues, demonstrations, etc. The Quartermaster motor pool consisted of eight (8) army 1%-ton trucks and five (5) passenger vehicles, which were all serviced and maintained by the Quartermaster Detachment personnel. At the conclusion of the field training period, subsistence supplies on hand were shipped to the New York State Arsenal for storage. These supplies are non-perishable and will be utilized initially upon emerg'ency mobilization of any unit of the New York Guard pending formal contracts and contacts with various State agencies involved. Signal The only items of Signal equipment purchased by the State during the year were 5,380 feet telephone wire and 14 field telephones. Phones and wire were used on the firing ranges at Camp Smith during the field training period, and then shipped to the 1st Signal Company. Correspondence has been h1itiated with the War Department requesting information as to whether or not there was available for purchase by the State, or issue by the Federal government, certain basic signal equipment recommended by the Signal Officer, Hdqrs. New York Guard. To date this matter is still pending. Medical Upon recommendation of the Surgeon, Hdqrs. New York Guard, there were procured twenty-two (22) Regimental Surgeon's sets, each set consisting of 3 chests with 121 components. The components, upon receipt at the Arse:nal from the contractors, were asembled into sets and shipped to each organiz.ation. Quantities of each component as received are listed in Appendix III-A. These sets were received by organizations in time for field training.

During the year purchases were made of all component articles of Belt, Medical, H.C. These belts had been purchased and issued empty during the latter part of 1941. rrhere are eleven component parts of the Medical Belt. (See Appendix III-C). Upon receipt from the contractors they were immediately shipped to the 22 Medical Detachments of the New York Guard. Also purchased during the year were 400 Belts, web, H.C., for use as replacement stock. Prior to field training there was also issued one (1) Prophylactic Station set to each organization. (See Appendix III-B). Tr'ansportat'ion-

(JI otor)

A "Tractor" (motor power) for the cargo trailer body on hand at the Arsenal was purchased and affords considerable relief to congestion and in effecting local shipments. However, despite this addition, it has been necessary to call on the Regular Army and for organizations to borrow trucks from commercial sources to enable us to move equipment. Examples of the bulk involved are the 2,500 mattresses received from Schenectady General Depot which required five freight cars; Overshoes, three (3) freight cars. The present transportation available, one (1) 11;2-ton truck is still inadequate for the demands. In the event of an emergency mobilization, it is believed that this office would be handicapped due to limited transportation. rrhe two (2) vehicles (tractor and truck) would be used to make immediate shipments of emergency supplies and subsistance, leaving the Arsenal without any other means of transportation. Upon the conclusion of the field training period at Camp Smith, all borrowed vehicles were returned to the Army, with the exception of five which ,vere temporarily retained due to constant motor shipments of property from Camp Smith and shipments to local areas. 'Phese borrowed vehicles are to be returned to the army shortly.

In accordance with War Department instructions all rifles cal. (with the exception of 100 per regiment) which had been issued to the New York Guard, were shipped to Raritan Arsenal. Shotguns and Thompson sub-machine guns have been issued in their place and the normal armament of a rifle (shotgun) company now consists of five sub-machine guns (three Federal issue and two State), and the balance of the personnel armed with shotguns. This exchange of weapons entailed the assembly and shipment of some 11,000 rifles, bayonets and accessories and the receipt and reissue of a similar number of replacement weapons. The shipments and issues were scheduled by this office so that no organization was without weapons at any time during the progress of the exchange. Following are the items of Ordnance material and equipment received during 1942.

Chapter 932 of the Laws of 1942 turned over to the State maintenance, repair, etc. of the armories, located in the Third and Fourth Brigade Districts. The sum of $800,000.00 was appropriated for the armories in New York City for the fiscal year 1942-43 but this sum is inadequate and an additional appropriation of $67,770.53 will be necessary for the purpose. At the close of the year 1942, there was forwarded to the Director of the Budget the sum of $378.37 received from the sale of scrap iron found in the armories throughout the State.

Division, and one (1) widow of a deceased officer of the New York National Guard who are now receiving compensation under the provisions of this section of the law.

Under Chapter 589, Laws of 1922, a commission to be known as the New York Veterans' Relief Commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, to be chairman thereof, The Comptroller and rrhe Attorney General, was created for the purpose of distributing relief to sick and disabled veterans of the First World War. Under chapter 326, laws of 1923, this commission was abolished and a separate bureau was created in the office of rrhe Adjutant General to be known as the Bureau for the Relief of Sick and Disabled New York Veterans. Under chapter 605, laws of 1928, chapter 41 of the laws of 1909 entitled" An act in relation to the militia constituting chapter 36 of the Consolidated Laws" was amended by adding Article la, thus establishing the administration of relief as p.art of the Military Law. Since the institution of the Bureau many thousands of requests for relief have been received from sick and disabled, needy and unemployed, honorably discharged veterans of World War 1. These applications were thoroughly investigated and a majority of them were rejected due to the fact that they did not come within the meaning of our law. However, to date 12,440 cases have been approved of which 10,807 are active or have been paid the maximum allowed under our law and 1,633 are in our rejected file for various reasons. rrhe bureau is represented by a resident commissioner in each assembly district throughout the State. The commissioner receives applications, investigates applicants to determine eligibility lor relief, prepares all papers, renders the periodical reports and returns, makes the relief payments upon approval of this office, and discharges the multiplicity of duties pertinent to his position. These gentlemen serve without pay; they gave their time and efforts to the work without compensation and are rendering a service to the State and the needy veteran of inestimable value. Theirs is truly a patriotic service. Case papers submitted by the commissioner are checked. and processed by the bureau, including vouchers for the payment of relief awards, for commissioner's necessary traveling expense, and for expenses incurred by the commissioners in the performance of their duties, such as for stenographic and medical servic.es. Book accounts of all monies appropriated for veteran relief and administration are kept by the bureau. In addition information pertaining to veterans relief is furnished to individuals, including commissioners and various organizations which entails considerable correspond en ceo

Over three thousand (3000) requisitions for forms and pamphlets were filled and distributed to the Guard units. There were also printed and distributed, twenty-one (21) General Orders, ten (10) Bulletins, and thirty-two (32) Circulars promulgated by this office, and twenty (20) General Orders, seven (7) Training Circulars by the N ew York Guard headquarters.

This Bureau is also charged with the ordering and supervision of all printing and the purchase of all office supplies used by this office. Bureau of War Records The activities of this Bureau are those described In the report of this Bureau for the year 1935. The Bureau is still engaged in compiling World War records by counties, in addition to its normal activities. Bureau of World War Records Under constitutional authority a bonus for the New York State Veterans of the World War was provided pursuant to Chapter 19, Laws of 1924. The sum of $45,000,000 was realized from the sale of bonds authorized by law, this sum having been augmented by premiums amounting to $659,565, the latter sum also being appropriated for bonus purposes under Chapter 208, IJaws of 1925. A Commission, consisting of The Adjutant General, the Comptroller, the Treasurer and the Attorney General, administered the disbursement until April 22, 1296 when its functions were absorbed by The Adjutant General. Each eligible veteran, upon application, received the sum of $10.00 for each month of service with the colors, between April 6, 1917 and November 11, 1918, with $150.00 as the maximum payment. Under Chapter 209, Laws of 1925, an additional appropriation of $2',500,000 was made. Chapter 26, IJaws of 1925, added the next of kin to those who were killed or died in the

serVIce or prior to February 28, 1924, as eligible to receive the bonus. Under Chapter 267, Laws of 1926, a further appropriation of $300,000 was approved. Chapter 676, Laws of 1931, extended the time for filing claims to July 1, 1932 and made an appropriation of $250,000. At an extraordinary session of the Legislature in 1931 to carry out the provisions of an act creating a temporary emergency relief administration, the sum of $584,000 was appropriated by Chapter 799 for the payment of bonuses, $30,000 of which was made available for administration expenses. Under Chapter 120, Laws of 1933, an additional appropriation of $90,000 was made for bonus payments and $25,000 for administrative expenses. The unexpended balances of these appropriations were reappropriated each year by the Legislature and were made available in the Executive Budget of 1936, Chapter 15, Laws of 19,36. This chapter amended by a substitute bill, Chapter 360, Laws of 1936, eliminated these reappropriations ,and refunded the unexpended balances amounting to $72,824.92 to the General Fund. By Chapter 875, Laws of 1936, $10,000 of this refunded amount was reappropriated and made available for one year beginning July 1, 1936. This action 9f the Legislature automatically closed the Bureau on June 30, 1937 and suspended the payment of bonuses on that date. Chapter 40, Laws of 1937 reappropriated $200 of the unexpended balance of the appropriation made by Chapter 875, Laws of 1936 for incurred liabilities and created the Bureau of World War Records in the Adjutant General's Office to take over the records of the Bonus Bureau. Since 1938 funds have been appropriated by the Legislature each succeeding year for the payment of suspended claims which had been approved. During the operation of the Bureau there has been appropriated for bonus purposes $49,423,284.33 out of which there has been paid in bonuses and administrative costs the sum of $49,350,454.75 and in a refund to the General Fund of $72,829.58. Under the original law no claim could be received after May 1, 1927. The Bureau reopened April 23, 1931 and closed for the receipt of applications July 1, 1932 during which period 10,135 new claims were received. The total claims received was 427,799 or 82 per cent of the 518,864 veterans credited to the State. Of the number received. 9,273 or .0215% were rejected as not entitled to the bonus. There are still 4,868 or .0115% of the claims received awaiting action by the Bureau due to the delay of the veteran in supplying required data. Of the total received 413,666 or 96% were paid at the rate of $1.85 per claim. Of the total veterans entitled to make application 91,065 01'18% failed to make a claim although 15,197 of this number applied for blanks. Their requests however, had to be denied owing to the fact that they applied after the time limit, July 1, 1932. The average payment per claim was $117.23 or 78 % of the maximum amount allowed, $150.00. Of the total claims received 25,257 applicants were not credited by the authorities in Washington as having enlisted from the State of New YOl'k.

Of the claims awaiting action there are being received from time lo time letters fro111 the applicants supp]yjng ~mffiejent data to warrant the payment of these applications. During the past year two (2) of these applications in the amount of $193.33 have been approved for payment. These claims have been segregated and a request has been made to the Legislature for an appropriation sufficient to pay them. During the operation of the Bureau many activities developed other than the payment of the bonus. Being an office of record constant inquiries are being received from governmental, civic and veteran agencies and private sources relative to pertinent information regarding the services of veterans and certified copies of papers submitted with bonus applications for use in furthering claims for compensation, tax exemption, civil service examinations, retirements, promotions and for other and varied purposes. From experience with the records of the Civil and Spanish wars, which are still active, undoubtedly the records of this Bureau will remain in demand for some time to come.

APPENDIX A
Report of the Commanding General, New York Guard

In accordance with the requirements of paragraph 6, Regulations No. 80, I have the honor to submit the following report on the affairs of the New York Guard for the calendar year 1942. 1. General. The Guard has made good progress in training and in general efficiency. Deficiencies, of course, are present and are recognized; some are and some are not immediately within our control. Our quantity of service ammunition for outdoor range firing is limited. The terrain at Camp Smith and the facilities for field training are not altogether adequate, but we are extremely fortunate to have them as they are. What we lack in some respects we offset in interest and enthusiasm. The zeal and devotion of our soldiers are perhaps our best equipment. The morale of the Guard as a whole, in spite of occasional rumors to the contrary, is high. Three visits by our former Commander-in-Chief, Hon. Her .. bert H. Lehman, the visits of the Lieutenant Governor and of our legislative leaders, together with the continued interest of many prominent individuals from all walks of life, proved an inspiration to our five brigades and our twenty-two regiments. We believe that our entire division may safely be regarded as a dependable military combat force, ready and anxious to serve on call in any emergency.

2. Strength. rrhe average strength of the New York Guard during the current year has been 16,140 officers and enlisted men, reaching a high mark of 16,737 in the month of May, and a low mark of 15,760 in the month of January. Because of the large number called into federal service, our turnover has been, and still is, extremely high. However, it is gratifying to know that we are !Contributing so many well-trained men to our armed forces. The recent lowering of the age limit from 18 to 17 years will help progressively in a partial solution of our turnover and recruitin.g problem, although other expedients will have to be devised and introduced. We are givi~g much thought to this phase of our problem. See Appendices Nos. I-A, I-B and 1-0 for statistical data. 3. Attendance. The average attendance percentage for armory drills for the current year to date is 85.8%. See Appendix No. 1-0. The attendance percentage for our field training alone was 87.0%. See Appendh No.3. This showing, all things considered, seems reasonably satisfactory. We are 'not permitted to punish men for absence without leave. This is a handicap to discipline. Many are engaged in war production work, and for that reason
[47]

on occasions are prevented from attending drills. Further, a number of our Guardsmen are confronted with transportation difficulty because of gasoline rationing.

4. Organization. Additional units of the New York Guard were authorized during the year, as follows: Company D, 6th Regiment, by General Orders No.5, The Adjutant General's office, Albany, February 21, 1~42. Companies H & M, 74th Regiment, by General Orders No. 17, 'rhe Adjutant General's Office, Albany, August 11, 1942. 1st and 2nd Separate Battalions, by General Orders No. 13, The Adjutant General's Office, May 27, 1942. 'rhe stations of all the above units and the muster-in dates are indicated in Appendix No.2. The 31'<1 Separate Battalion (negro), stationed in the armory at 801 Dean Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., was authorized by General Orders No. 18, The Adjutant General's Office, Albany, October 22, 1942. At this time the only action taken has been the appointment of Major Myles Anderson Paige as Battalion Commander. Company L, 5th Regiment, was transferred from 801 Dean Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., to the armory at 171 Clermont Avenue, Brooklin, N.Y. The 3rd Battalion, 18th Regiment, has been moved from the armory at 355 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., to the armory at 357 Sunmer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. Therefore, the entire 13th Regiment is now located in its own armory. This move was made necessary by the transfer of the New York State Arsenal personnel and equipment to the Marcy Avenue armory, the State Arsenal building having been requisitioned by the War Department. Important changes in our commissioned personnel are as follows: Colonel George A. Shedden was transferred to the State Reserve List on January 8, 1942. Colonel Arthur A. Farrell succeeded him. Colonel George G. Hollander, 14th Regiment, was placed on the Retired List for Officers on January 8, 1942. He was succeeded by Colonel Raymond B. Beach. Colonel George D. Toomey, 65th Regiment, was honorably discharged on May 20, 1942. He was succeeded by Colonel John F. :Malone, ~Tr. Colonel l\1ilton S. Bowman, 7th Regiment, because of joining the federal forces, was honorably discharged on September 18, 1942. He was succeeded by Colonel George K. Brazill. It is with deep regret that I report the death of Colonel Elmer P. Sawyer, 15th RegimEmt; on August 13, 1942. He was an efficient and respected officer, and his death was a distinct loss to the New York Guard. He was succeeded by his Executive Officer, Colonel William W. Chisum. Colonel John W. Foos, U.S.A. (Retired), joined our HeadQuarters on J\!fay 1. 1942. He has been in charge of, and has directed and coordinated, all training activities and programs.

rrhe success of our 1942, field training w,as due in a large measure to his untiring energy and superior ability as an instructor. We are glad for his sake, but decidedly not for ours, that he has been ordered to active duty with the Army of the United States, in which he served so successfully for many years. The loss of his services will be felt and deplored by every officer and enlisted man in the Guard.

5. 'Training. During the current year we believe that progress was made in carrying out our training objectives as prescribed by State and suggested by federal authorities.' While we are primarily a state military force, we have earned the earnest attention and interest of the Army of the United States and particularly of the units located on Governors Island, N. Y. The War Department plans for interior security measures include the New York Guard as an important component, and count on us as a supporting force for active service and help in an emergency. 6. Field 'Training. Each regiment and each brigade headquarters was given a field training period of ten days at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y. This training began on June 14th and ended on October 1st. Camp Smith has many excellent facilities for training, but the terrain is limited to field exercises of units no larger than companies. More motor transport would have to be provided to move troops to remote parts of the reservation in order to save valuable time, which would otherwise be consumed in marching. The intensive course of instruction was designed to train our men in those elements which could not be taught in the armory; to permit all officers and enlisted men to fire service ammunition; to teach combat principles and troop-leading in small units from the squad to the company, with particular emphasis on domestic (ljsturbances and to stress the training of junior officers and noncommissioned officers in leadership. rrhe administration and housekeeping arrangements were satisfactory. Instruction in firing' weapons on the range was handicapped b.y the limited amount of ammunition available. The shortage of ammunition was, of course, due to factors beyond our contro1. Within the available ammunition allowances, the results were good. Instruction in chemical warfare, both technical and tactical was given to a group of officers and enlisted men in each regiment. Two-sided squad, platoon and company problems were given. All exercises were umpired by officers or noncommissioned officers of the respective units. The umpires were carefully instructed, and were given rehearsal in all phases of each problem on the day before they were to be executed. This instruction proved to be adequate and effective, and gave to both umpires and participants training in the principles involved. Instruction also included ceremonies, night marching', establishment of all staions, use of grenades, and scouting and patrolling.

GENERAL'S

REPORT

Both before and after their training period at Camp Smith, many units conducted field exercises on week-ends, at or near their home stations. These exercises were prepared by the units themselves, with generally satisfactory results. Problems from the company to the regiment were included. All the expense was borne by the units and the individuals composing them. All of them contributed their time with enthusiasm, which indicated high morale.

7. Medical Care and Sanitation. The sick record of the field training period reflects exceptionally favorable and fortunate conditions. There were no deaths from illness or accidents. There was no need to establish a Post Hospital. Cases requiring hospitalization were sent to the Peekskill Hospital. The few patients so treated were returned to their regiments in camp or to their home stations as quickly as possible. All minor cases of illness or injuries were cared for in the regimental infirmaries. This arrangement proved to be both economical and practical. Many of our officers and enlisted men of the regimental medical detachments had never been in the field before, and showed a fine spirit in the discharge of their duties. Our Headquarters Surgeon and his assistants rendered important service, and also assisted and instructed the regimental surgeons in their functions and duties. See Appendix No. 4 for statistical data. 8. Schools. For our training, many schools are organized and conducted. Troop schools for training officers, noncommissioned officers and enlisted men are present in each unit. They all follow as nearly as practicable the instruction procedure prescribed for the United States Army. We have officers' candidate schools, which are producing excellent results and provide much needed replacements. The establishment of schools for mess sergeants and cooks in all regiments, based on a standard training directive issued from New York Guard Headquarters, proved of inestimable value, and made it possible for all units in field training to provide the men with wholesome, appetizing food, which did much for the maintenance of morale. With very few exceptions, civilian cooks were not required, and enlisted men constituted the personnel for company messes. . Major General Thomas A. Terry, Commanding General of the Second Service Command, established at Hackettstown, New Jersey, on October 4, 1942, the Second Service Command Tactical School. This school was organized to give specialized training in the tactics and operations in which troops and state guard troops might be expected jointly to engage. The course of instruction for each group is one calendar week. For the first courses the New York Guard was granted a quota of 33 officer students. For the course beginning November 15, 1942, and subsequent courses, our allotment was increased to 42 officers. While the course is necessarily short, the results have been most gratifying according

REPOR.T OF THE

COMMANDING

GENER.AL

to the reports No.5.

of our officers who have attended.

9. Inspections. During the field training period, defense district commanders, under orders from Headquarters Second Corps Area, inspected, at Camp Smith, the regiments with stations in their districts. Reports of these inspections were uniformly satisfactory. Inspections at irregular intervals were made by battalion, regimental and brigade commanders. Many of these visits of inspection were in the up-state units, and therefore had to be made by private automobile, and thus were necessarily limited. Instructions from the War Department provide for the inspection of the organizations in their armories by officers of the United States Army, to begin after January 11, 19'43.

10. Arms and Equipment. During the year all rifles, excepting one hundred per regiment, were withdrawn by the War Department. To replace each rifle thus withdrawn, a shotgun was issued. These are all of 12-gauge caliber a,~ld consist of pump guns, single barrel, double barrel, and over and under shotguns. A demonstratiori during the field training period demonstrated the power of the shotgun loaded with 00 buck shells. Our soldiers are convinced that this is a powerful and effective weapon and would be serviceable against fifth-column or other subversive assemblies. For such purposes the range would be effective to a distance of up to 350 to 400 yards. The experience with these shotguns completely counteracted and relieved the anxiety and doubt caused at first by the withdrawal of a large percentage of our rifles. An issue of Thompson sub-machine guns was made by the War Department, on a basis of one (1) per twenty (20) men or major fraction thereof for rifle-shotgun companies, and not to exceed six (6) per active company. Under our present organization this provides three (3) Thompson sub-machine guns per rifle-shotgun company. With the two (2) Reising sub-machine guns furnished by New York State, each company now has five (5) sub-machine guns. I terns of individual equipment, such as haversacks, pack carriers, canteen covers, shelter halves and helmets, are available only in small quantities. The issue to the soldier, immediately after enlistment, of complete equipment, including uniforms, would be a big factor in promoting morale. We are encourag-ed to believe that our equipment situation will progr~ssively improve from now on. 11. Ammunition. A deficiency in ammunition still exists. This would be serious if the troops were to be ordered to active duty in an emergency. Some range practice with service ammunition was held during field training, but there was not enough to give adequate instruction. The War Department has now made available the following allowances of ammunition:

For emergency use: Cartridge, ball, calibre .45-200 rounds for each sub-machine gun issued by the 'Var Department. This makes no allowance for the sub-machine guns issued to the troops and purchased by the State. Shotgun shell, 00 buckshot, 20 rounds per man armed with shotgun. The above allowances are important, but they do not meet our needs for proper training or for an emergency. 12. Permanent Plant-New York Guard Headquarters. For the period covered by this report, Headquarters New York Guard has occupied offices in the State Office Building, 80 Centre Street, New York, N. Y., formerly occupied by the New York National Guard, except that in the last week of February we surrendered to the Committee on Discrimination in Employment, State War Council, two of our offices, Rooms 745 and 747-this at the request of higher authority in Albany. Since December 8, 1941, New York Guard Headquarters has been on a 24-hour-a-day basis, seven days a week. Effective January 22, 1942', The Adjutant Geperal authorized us to engage the services of three members of the New York Guard, of grade not higher than corporal, at pay of grade, plus subsistence of $2.25 per day. These men are on duty from 5 P.M. to 9 A.M. the following morning, and week-ends and holidays. Their principal duties are to receive and route telephone calls and other communications which might come in as the result of an emergency. They also do such minor clerical work as is laid out for them. Camp Smith. Because of the fact that Camp Smith is not an ideal training area, a reconnaissance of the Manitou section was made to learn the possibilities for battalion field exercises in 1943. Enough trails were located, which, with some clearing of underbrush and small trees, will provide a training area for the battalion. To accomplish this purpose, an authorization of $4,800 was made, with an additional $2,500 for repairs to the Military Road. This will be a big help to our 1943 field training exercises. Armories. Under the provisions of amendments to Sections 177 to 19'8 of the Military Law, passed at the last session of the Legislature, the administration of the armories in Greater New York City was taken over by The Adjutan,t General, beginning July 1, 1942.

13. Administration. A physical inventory of State and federal property in the possession of all organizations began on December 1, 1942, and will be completed by February 15, 1943. This is being done by members of the brigade staffs under the direction and supervision of the brigade commanders. During the current year, conferences were held by the Commanding General with the brigade commanders, as follows: January 7, 1942, at Albany, N. Y., with the Governor. April 11, June 5, October 23,December 5 and December 12, 1942, in the City of New York. In last year's report it was stated that the Judge Advocate of the New York Guard and his assistant were engaged in writing a legal manual entitled "Law of State Military Forces." The final draft was completed and a copy sent to the Governor and to r:rhe Adjutant General, Albany, on November 28, 1942. 14. Recommendations. The following recommendations are submitted: a. That uniforms be provided for the troops (each enlisted man) on the following basis. (this includes only the uniform needs for routine service and training; it does not include additional requirements for active duty in the field) : (1 ) Woolen uniform, consisting of one coat, one pair trousers, two shirts, one field cap. This uniform to be for field service and for outdoor formations in cold weather. (2) Cotton uniform, consisting of two pairs bombay or khaki trousers, two bombay or khaki shirts, one khaki fatigue hat. This uniform to be for amory drills and for outdoor training in warm weather. (3) 'rwo pairs of shoes. b. That complete individual equipment be provided for each officer and enlisted man, consisting of mess kit, haversack, pack carrier, web cartridge belt, helmet, gas mask (training), shelter tent and blankets. (This recommendation was included in our 1941 report.) c. That the restrictions for the use of armories be modified, with full responsibility resting with the Officer in Charge and Control. (Detailed recommendation to follow.) d. That the activation of Companies D, Hand M, in each regiment, be authorized and the present strength of all companies be increased by 60 per cent. There will be no need to increase the number of officers, except for the activated companies, as, at the present time, all companies h~ve four officers. Our armories, with good management, can accommodate this increase of personnel. Such increase would raise the enlisted strength of the New York Guard to about 33,000 men-'-a most desirable war time measure.

54

REPORT

c. Recommendations for ammunition will b~ the subject of a special conullullication. f Recommendation on the suhject of requirements for organization equipment, such as field ranges, cots, etc., essential for an extension of training problems, and absolutely necessary for active field service, has been made and is in the hands of The Adjutant General.

15. Conclusion : My report would be incomplete were I not to express the sincere appreciation and deep gratitude of my staff and myself, in fact the New York Guard as a whole, to you, our present Commander-in-Chief, to former Governor Lehman and to The Adjutant General and his assistants for an unfailing attitude of understanding and a wholehearted spirit of cooperation. Further, we have all been encouraged by expressions, oral and' written, of the Legislative leaders who visited us at Camp Smith last summer. We firmly believe that what we have done is only the beginning, and that we will make rapid progress from now on, heartened by the growing understanding and support of our civilian population, and inspired by a leadership which has done so much to promote our interests.

In accordance with reference the following information is submitted in connection with the Annual Report for the New York Naval Militia for the period December 1, 1941 to November 30, 1942. 2. Inasmuch as all units of the New York Naval Militia were mobilized during the early part of 1941 none of the usual activities were carried out such as vVeek End Cruises, Small Arms Practice, etc. 3. Members of the Naval Militia have been in action with the Navy and Marine Corps in all parts of the World. A number of casualties have been suffered reports of which were submitted whenever the information was received by this headquarters. Particular .attention is invited to the fact that the public press has carried articles to the effect that members of the Marine Corps Reserve (N.Y. Naval Militiamen, MCB, mobilized in their federal status being among this group) participated in actions in the Southern Pacific in a manner which is a credit to the men and the State. This office has been advised on many occasions of the appointment of enlisted men to commissions, warrants, and noncommissioned ratings due to their successful training as Naval Militiamen. 4. During the past year Admiral F. R. Lackey, NYNM, was placed in command of the U. S. Navy Receiving Station, Long Beach, N. Y., and has been temporarily relieved of Command of the N. Y. Naval Militia. Captain L. W. Hesselman has been assigned to duty in his federal status at the Headquarters of the 8th Naval District. 5. This office has also to report the death of Lieut. Commander F. K. Gundlach, Asst. Chief of Staff, and also the passing of two former commanding officers of the Naval Militia Brigade, Rear Admiral W. B. Franklin and Rear Admiral R. P. Forshew. 6. All Naval Militia Armories are being maintained under supervision of Reserve List Officers appointed in Charge and Control by the Adjutant General. The 1st Battalion Armory, D.S.S. PRAIRIE STATE, is being used by the Navy Department as a training school for Naval Reserve Midshipmen.

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL

31 December, 1943

The Governor of the State of New York, Albany, New York:

SIR:-Pursuant to Section 17 of the Military Law and the provisions of Section 42 of Chapter 78 of the Consolidated, Laws of the State of New York, report for the year ending 31 December 1943 is submitted. The 25th of October of the passing year was the third anniversary of the organization of the New York Guard. Since date of organization, 34,285 enlisted men have been separated from service in the New York Guard for various reasons, approximately fifty percent (50%) for the purpose of entering the armed forces of the United States where their preliminary training won for many almost immediate advancement in grade. Because of the absorption of physically qualified men by the Federal armed forces, the recruiting of men for the New York Guard becomes increasingly difficult, but despite this handicap commanders have managed to maintain their units at satisfactory strength by enlisting youths of the age of seventeen and men thirty-eight years of age or over. There are also some men in the New York Guard with minor physical deficiencies which render them unsatisfactory for duty with the Federal forces but which do not hinder performance of duty as members of the New York Guard. Now that the three-year enlistment periods of most members of the New York National Guard have expired and there is no assurance that they will continue their interest therein after the war, the New York Guard becomes of increasing value since it offers the nucleus for reconstruction of the New York National Guard just as it did in 1919. It will, therefore, be seen that the New York Guard should no longer be considered merely as a temporary replacement for the New York National Guard, but as the foundation of the future New York National Guard and should receive every attention and consideration in the matter of equipment and training that it is possible for the State and Federal Government to provide. It has been reported that elements of the 27th Division (N ew York National Guard) spearheaded by the 165th Infantry (old 69th New York) captured Makin Island in the Pacific 21 November 1943 in conjunction with the attack on the Gilbert Islands. Colonel J. Gardiner Conroy, Commanding the 165th Infantry was killed a few hours after la:p.ding on Makin Island while directing an attack against a Japanese strong point. Majors Jacob H. Herzog and Edward T. Bradt, both of whom were inducted with the New York National Guard for active service in the present war, were

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

commended in orders for outstanding performance of duty in the capture of Makin Island. Letters have been received from New York National Guardsmen indicating that both individuals and organizations in the New York National Guard in Federal service are serving on practically all fronts in this global war. War Department reports received to date indicate that 1,842 officers of the New York National Guard have been promoted to higher grades in the Army of the United States since induction and that many enlisted men inducted with the New York National Guard have been appointed officers in the Army of the United States. The exact number cannot be determined at this date due to incomplete reports. On 12 October 1943 the office of The Adjutant General was moved from the Capitol building to 112 State Street, Albany, N. Y., where adequate quarters were provided on the second floor of the Standard building. The basic organization of the New York Guard being fairly well established, there were only a few changes in its composition during the year. Among these were the organization of Quartermaster Corps Motor Truck Companies attached to each of the five brigade headquarters. Four companies have been authorized to date. The organization of the 3rd Truck Company in the 3rd Brigade district will be completed before the end of January, 1944. Changes were as follows:

Armory construction has necessarily been curtailed due to Federal priorities which preclude the procurement of essential materials for new armory construction. However, this year it was possible to complete the new Field Artillery armory at Syracuse, New York, which was started in 1939 and is now occupied by the 2nd Battalion (less Company G), 3rd Regiment, New York Guard, thereby relieving the congestion in the Infantry armory in that City which now houses the Headquarters and five companies of the 3rd Regiment, New York Guard. During 1943 the War Department continued its policy of authorizing personnel of State guards to attend Federal service schools. The Second Service Command Tactical School at Hackettstown, New Jersey, was attended by 440 officers and 203 enlisted men of the New York Guard. The courses were of one (1) week's duration and consisted of classes for field and company officers and for non-commissioned officers. Three (3) officers attended the Provost Marshal General's School, Fort Custer, Michigan, a course lasting about three (3) months, and two (2) attended the Chemical Warfare School, Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, a course of about one (1) month's duration. Authorization was recently received from the War Department to send officers to The Adjutant General's School, Fort Washington, Maryland, and the Engineer School at

ANNUAL

REPORT

OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

Fort Belvoir, Virginia. It should be noted that while these service schools are operated at Federal expense, the transportation, pay and allowances of personnel attending from the New York Guard is borne by the State of New York. On 18 October 1943, Lieutenant General Hugh A. Drum, U.S.A., Retired, was appointed Commanding General, New York Guard, vice Major General William Ottmann, Retired at his own request. Colonel Christopher B. Degenaar, Infantry, Reserve List, was designated Acting Director, Finance Bureau, 1. September 1943 vice Lieutenant Colonel Burton H. Mull, Retired. Colonel Willard B. Donner, Infantry, New York Guard, was designated Acting Director, Distribution Bureau, 1 June 1943 vice Captain Thurber T. Hine, Retired. Personnel released from Federal service and assigned to the State Detachment, New York National Guard, consists on this date of thirteen (13) officers, one (1 )'W arrant Officer and :five (5) enlisted men. Of the thirteen officers,four (4) are held over from last year and nine (9) added this year. These officers, warrant officer and enlisted men plus the three (3) officers of the Inactive National Guard holding "key" positions in this officeare the only Federally recognized personnel not inducted into Federal service as of this date. The Naval Militia of the State is in a quiescent status, the personnel thereof having been ordered into Federal service since 19401941 under their respective statuses in the United States Naval Reserve. Since the New York Naval Militia is not Federally recognized no reports regarding changes in status of the personnel thereof are sent to this officeby the Navy Department. However, New York Naval Militia officers and enlisted men are serving on naval vessels on the seven seas and from information received many of them were casualties as a result of having participated in various engagements 'Yith the enemy. The strength of the New York Guard on this date is sixteen thousand four hundred twenty-nine (16,429) including all ranks. A detailed report of strength is included under the report of the activities of the Personnel Bureau. The turnover of personnel of the New York Guard continues at a high rate largely due to entrance of both officers and enlisted men into the armed forces of the United States; through the "Guard" interfering with business or educational activities and the .dropping of enlisted men for failure to attend drills. Of 15,405 enlisted men separated from the service for all purposes during 1943, 2,844 or 18% were for expired terms of service; 5,798 or 38% were to enter the armed forces of the United States; 2,930 or 19% gave business or educational excuses as the cause of their requests for separation and 2,602 or 17% were dropped because of, failure to attend armory drills. The remaining 8% were discharged because of change of residence and other reasons not mentioned heretofore. Of the commissioned personnel 422 officers were separated from the New York G~ard during 1943.

OF' THE .ADJUTANT

GENERAL

As an officer, in resigning or requesting transfer to the Reserve List, is not obliged to state his reason for so doing, it cannot be officially stated how many of these were lost for the purpose of accepting appointments in the armed forces of the United States. However, information gathered from other reliable sources indicates-a large percentage left for that purpose. To fill the vacancies created thereby and other existing vacancies in the New York Guard, 848 military commissions were issued in 1943 as against 1,582 in 1942. Finance Bureau Following is a statement of financial operations for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1943, including State appropriations for the general expenses of the military and naval establishment, expenses for armory maintenance and Federal funds allocated and expended during the same period :

Assignment of a Camp Quartermaster and two assistants to Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., was made from personnel of this office. A 24-hour Armory Emergency Ration has been issued. (See Appendix I). Issue up to an excess of 20% over authorized strength in shoes, trousers, WOD, and coats, WOD, has been made to furnish the organization Supply Officers with a working stock and suitable size range with a view to eliminating the necessity for exchanges. In general, the supply of clothing and individual equipment to the organizations has reached the level where every enlisted man in the New York Guard is fully equipped with a set of summer, winter and fatigue uniforms with extra articles, with one exception, where desirable. The exception is that of providing an extra pair of shoes for each man. Due to present conditions, it has been difficult to locate sufficient stocks of a standard shoe for State purchase. This office effected distribution to all schools in the State, of Proclamations issued by the Commanding General, Eastern Defense Command, and also distributed the State forms for voters in the armed services to all Selective Service Boards in the State. An additional activity was the transportation of baggage and equipment of metropolitan New York City organizations to Camp Smith and return by Arsenal trucks and drivers (and those of the Camp Quartermaster). This involved considerable additional work on the part of our personnel; often on Sundays, and interfered to a degree with the regular routine. However, it was carried out without mishap and resulted in a saving to the State of some $1,800.00 formerly paid commercial firms for this service. See Appendix No. I for property contracted for by State purchase which was received during the period January 1 to present date. See Appendix No. II for lists of property received from Federal government.

Federal vouchers totaling $7,656.33 for the repair and maintenance of Camp Smith were prepared and forwarded to The Finance Officer, USA. Thirty-one (31) Federal purchase orders were prepared for material to be delivered to Camp Smith. Priority forms were prepared and distributed for each order.

Inventory. Semi-annual consolidated memorandum receipts were prepared and forwarded each responsible officer on 31 May and 30 November. This was checked against the accounts of the responsible officers and discrepancies adjusted by Over, Short & Damaged Report if overcharges were found and by Su~vey if shortages were discovered. Audit. (a) All accounts of the New York National Guard have been audited by Federal auditors and clearance issued. There are no outstanding accounts remaining for settlement against the New York National Guard. .

and has shipped 3,617 tons to the organizations throughout the State. Freight shipments to the New York Guard required nine hundred fourteen (914) State bills of lading at an estimated cost of $2,024.77. A total of eight hundred thirty-tb,ree (833) express shipments were made to the New York Guard at an estimated cost of $581.80. Two hundred and forty-seven (247) Transportation Requests were issued in connection with the transportation of 17,158 officers and enlisted men of the New York Guard to Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., for field training. Eighty (80) Transportation Requests were issued to the Camp Quartermaster, Camp Smith. One thousand one hundred and thirty (1,130) Transportation Requests were issued in connection. with the transportation of officers and noncommissioned officers of the New York Guard to the Second Service Command Tactical School, Hackettstown, N. J. Arrangements were made with Headquarters, Second Service Command, for the drawing of motor vehicles on temporary loan for the 1943 field training period. Twenty-three (23) vehicles were inspected and checked at the Army Depot, World's. Fair Parking Grounds, and turned over to the Camp Quartermaster. In order to maintain these vehicles while at Camp Smith, it was necessary to submit nine (9) requisitions to the Ordnance Service Command for various parts and equipment as became unserviceable from constant usage. A total of eighty-seven ,(87) parts were requisitioned and received. On 6 January 1943, the State Quartermaster requested permission from the War Department to purchase subsistence supplies from the Army for the use of New York Guard troops performing field training at Camp Smith. Permission was granted by the Quartermaster General with the stipulation that supplies sold for the use of State Guardsmen on active duty would he in a quantity "not to exceed the Field Ration "A" for an equal number of Army troops on similar duty and subject to restrictions currently in force". Arrangements were made with Headquarters, Second Service Command and the Commanding General, New York Port of Embarkation, to requisition subsistence from Camp Shanks, N. Y., the nearest depot to Camp Smith equipped to handle such requisitions. It was also stipulated that ration point payment would he made to the issuing depot" Application with 'the Officeof Price Administration, New York District Office, for sufficient ration points was approved and Ration Bank Accounts established for sugar, coffee, meats, and processed foods. Study of the Army menu prior to 15 April 1943, indicated that some components and recipes noted were not suitable for Guard usage, i.e., the large units or containers of approximately two dozen condiments and spices.issued by the Army for 100-men messes on a monthly basis; the numerous requirements for baked desserts which, it was felt, were too much to be expected of Guard cooks with limited e.xperience. Procurement was therefore initiated for

24

ANNUAL

REPORT

OF THE

GENERAL

the State purchase of a quantity of condiments in small containers (4 or 8 oz) suitable for unit issue and the purchase of various prepared cake mixes, such as, Devil's Food Mix, Yellow Cake Mix, Biscuit Mix, Corn Bread Mix, and Prepared Pie Crust. The prepared mixes proved invaluable as a time and labor-saving item which any experienced cook could utilize. A monthly substitution chart was prepared by the Camp Quartermaster and issued to organizations in camp. The most difficult baked products requiring some degree of skill on the part of the cooks and in addition, requiring time and special preparation, were eliminated. The prepared mixes or a canned fruit was substituted. In view of State purchases and the fluctuating strength for the three meals on departure and arrival days, the Sales Officer at Camp Shanks agreed that it would be impractical to purchase the daily ration as issued and permitted the purchase of components up to the value of certified strength reports multiplied by the value of the Army field ration. The issuing depot, Camp Shanks, is approximately 56 miles, round trip, from Camp Smith. Convoy of from two to five trucks left daily at 7 :00 AM to make the pickup. Storage facilities at . Camp Shanks are not sufficiently large to accommodate reserve or surplus perishable stores, hence issues received one day from contractors were for consumption by the camp on the following day. On numerous occasions Camp Smith trucks arriving at Shanks at 8 :30 AM had to wait until contractors had made deliveries. These trucks loaded perishables and staples and then returned to Camp Smith about 12 :00 Noon, or later, with requisitions filled but considerable substitution made. Redistribution by the Quartermaster to organizations was made between 1 :00 and 5 :00 PM and Supply Officers informed of substitutions on the menu. In turn, Supply Officers making the distribution to their units, generally worked from 6 :00 PM to midnight and sometimes later. This caused considerable hardship on all concerned. At the commencement of field training, quantities purchased were based on the ArmY,standard allowing no percentage for loss, spoilage or shortage. Army messes organized on a minimum of 150 to. 200 men can absorb such spoilage with little reflection on the mess. However, the Guard messes, usually approximately 50 enlisted men and in some instances as low as 15 enlisted men, could not absorb spoilage or shortage without'seriously decreasing the issue to the men. When this condition developed, Arsenal stocks of canned staples, remaining on hand from the 1942 field training period, were shipped to Camp Smith to build up "light" meals or to he used when Camp Shanks made eliminations without substitutions. The Army mess is, of course, a continuous process, accumulating its stocks. The Guard mess was a 10-day affair allowing for no reserve or time to accumulate stocks. To remedy this situation, State purchases were made of those items considered inadequate and supplemental issue was made by the Camp Quartermaster to augment the Army issue.

Request was made of the Commanding General, Second Service Command for the detail of a non~commissioned officer from the Bakers' and Cooks' School at Ft. Jay. A Master Sergeant was detailed to Camp Smith as an instructor on 6 July 1943, and remained on duty until the close of field training 30 September 1943., On the first training day of each tour, Supply Officers, mess sergeants, cooks, etc. attended a lecture in the post theatre by the Sergeant Instructor. At the lecture, stress was placed on food conservation, flexibility of the menu, butchering of meats and general food preparation. The Sergeant Instructor made daily inspections of the kitchens and the regimental warehouses and submitted detailed daily reports to the Camp Quartermaster which covered the following: Sanitary condition of messes Storage of perishables Food conservation Preparation of recipes Appendices follow.

Bureau for the Relief of Sick and Disabled New York Veterans Since the institution of the bureau many thousands of requests for relief have been received from sick and disabled, needy and unemployed, honorably discharged veterans of the First World War. These applications were thoroughly investigated and a majority of them were rejected due to the fact that they did not come within the meaning of our law. However, to date 12,456 cases have been approved of which 10,820 are active or have been' paid the maximum allowed under our law and 1,636 are in our rejected files for various reasons.

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

Under chapter 327 laws of 1943, the legislature appropriated $10,000.00 to cover relief to sick and disabled veterans of the Second World War. The total number of applications received 42 of which 39 have been approved for payment and 3 rejected. Each day there are new cases, some of which will be found ineligible and others will be approved for payment. The bureau is represented by a resident relief commissioner in each assembly district throughout the State .. The commissioner receives applications, investigates applicants to determine eligibility for relief, prepares all papers, renders the periodical reports and returns, makes the relief payments upon approval of this office, and discharges the multiplicity of duties pertinent to his position. These gentlemen serve without pay; they give their time and efforts to the work without compensation and are rendering a service to the State and the needy veteran of inestimable value. Theirs is truly a patriotic service. Case papers submitted by the commissioner are checked and processed by the bureau, including vouchers for the payment of relief awards, for commissioner's necessary traveling expenses, and for expenses incurred by the commissioner in the performance of their duties, such as for stenographic and medical services. Book accounts of all monies appropriated for veterans relief and administration are kept by the bureau. In addition information pertaining to veterans relief is furnished to individuals, including commissioners and various organizations which entails considerable correspondence. . Files, Mail and Distribution Bureau This bureau orders all office supplies and printing for the Division of Military and Naval Affairs. During the year 1943 eleven hundred and ninety-three (1193) Army Regulations, Field Manuals, Technical Manuals, War Department Circulars, T'raining Circulars, Pamphlets and National Guard Bureau Regulations were distributed to the New York Guard. Over one thousand five hundred (1500) requisitions for forms and pamphlets were filled and distributed to Guard units. T'Yenty-three (23) General Orders, four (4) Bulletins and twentytwo (22) Circulars promulgated by this office and eight (8) General Orders, six (6) Training Circulars of New York Guard Headquarters were printed and distributed. Eight hundred sixtyseven (867) jobs were run on the mimeograph. These consisted of specifications for the Bureau of Grounds and Structures, advance General Orders, Bulletins and Circulars of this office. 53,070 pieces of incoming mail and 58,766 of outgoing mail in addition to 631 pieces of Railway Express were received and distributed. The handling of the mail was greatly accelerated by the installation of a Pitney-Bowes metered mailing machine on 26 November 1943.

War Records Bureau During 1943 this Bureau handled approximately four thousand (4000) requests for information concerning the wars in which individuals and troops from the State of New York participated. Specifically, the information usually sought concerns the military records of individuals and questions of an historical and genealogical nature. The time consumed in conducting searches requires from a few minutes to many hours and sometimes days. War of 1812 records number 75,000 with approximately 16,000 contingent expense award certificates. The information from 'these records is required for litigation in court arising out of settling estates and proving dormant bank accounts. Civil War records number approximately 475,000 and the information sought from these records is for the purpose of securing pensions, admission to soldiers' homes, affiliation of ;relatives of soldiers with patriotic organizations, grave marking, court cases, and establishing the activities of New York State troops in the various battles of this war. Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection and Boxer Expedition records number approximately 50,000. The information sought from these is mainly for pensions, eJltrance to veteran homes, hospitalization, and burial and grave marker allowances. Mexican Border Service records number 18,000 and the information sought in most cases is to prove that the applicant was in Federal service during 1916 and 1917. World War I records number 518,000 and the information usually sought is for the purpose of securing pensions, hospitalization, Civil Service preference, tax exemption, and emoluments to veterans. Requests are now being received in increasing numbers for information concerning records of World War II. This Bureau is still compiling World War I records by county segregation. World War Records Bureau This bureau processed New York State bonus claims which have been held in the suspended file due to the failure of the claimants to supply data necessary to approve or disapprove their claims. Over four thousand (4000) such claims are now in the process of adjudication. In addition, many inquiries were received from governmental, civic and veteran agencies requesting verification that the bonus was paid to certain veterans. Since the last report over five hundred (500) such inquiries were received and answered. One hundred and five (105) were from veterans who would have been eligible to receive this bonus had they filed a formal application prior to 1 July 1932.

Report of Commanding

General, New York Guard

HQ NEW YORK GUARD

STATE OFFICE BUILDING

80 Centre Street New York, N. Y. Hq NYG 319.1 (1943) 30 December 1943 Subject: Annual Report, 1943, New York (State) Guard To: His Excellency, The Governor of the State of New York: In accordance with the requirements of Par. 6, Regulations No. 80, I have the honor to submit the following report on the affairs of the New York (State) Guard for the calendar year "1943: 1. General The New York (State) Guard is completing its third year of service. The past year is noteworthy for the progress made in providing the troops with the essential items of individual equipment. In spite of the difficulties caused by the excessive turnover in personnel, the training has been progressive and with satisfactory results. The interest, enthusiasm and fine spirit of officers and men in their work has been most gratifying. The loyal and devoted service of the members of the Guard in preparing themselves for .an emergency which might threaten the sovereignty of the State, as well as the welfare, life and property of its people, is a manifestation of that spirit of democracy and patriotism on which our nation was founded and of which our State may well be proud. 2. Strength The authorized strength of the New York Guard is 18,847 officers and enlisted men. The average strength daring the current year has been 16,769 officers and enlisted men. The turnover of personnel of the Guard has been, since its organization in 1940, and still remains, extremely high. During 1943 the percentage of turnover, due to call to Federal service and discharges for other causes, amounted to 81%. In several instances analysis of these figures discloses the astonishing fact that some organizations have had a turnover in their authorized and allowable strength of over 100% during the current year. This is, of course, a problem which has made great demand upon the officerpersonnel of the Guard. It is noteworthy, however, that the problem has been met with courage, intelligence and devotion, and that most officers consulted have expressed enthusiasm and satisfaction in the thought that their effort must have benefited our armed services, which is, indeed, a certainty. The matter of strength, enlistments and turnover is being given time and study by thes~ Headquarters, with a view to
[45]

ANNUAL

REPORT

OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

giving every assistance possible to the particular and important matter of recruitment. See Appendices Nos. 1 and 2 for statistical data.

3. Attendance
(a) The average attendance for the Armory Training Period was 84.8%. See Appendix No.3. Since the Guard does not take disciplinary action by way of fines or punishment for absences from drill, other than dropping men from the. rolls for A.W.O.L.~ this showing is considered satisfactory under existing conditions because of the constant demands due to the war effort .. It is noted, however, that every effort, by way of transfer, is being made to arrange suitable drill periods more amenable to this condition, in order to save every trained man wherever possible. In upstate and outlying communities, the Guard is confronted with the problem of transportation-always a factor, but presently accelerated due to gasoline rationing. (b) Field Training during' 13 June to 30 September 1943 showed 86.9% attendance. Here again, in view of war production work, this attendance is considered very satisfactory. Many regiments of the Guard showed a noticeable improvement in their attendance at Camp. A commendable effort was made by all organizations. This effort is noticeably reflected in the general average figures of attendance shown in Appendix No.5, attached.

4. Organization
(a) The 3rd Separate Battalion (colored) was mustered into the State service on 8 January 1943, and Company D, the fourth Company of that organization, on 29 January 1943. This Battalion is commanded by Major Myles A. Paige, with home station at 801 Dean Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Additional units of the New York Guard authorized during the year were: (1) 5th Truck Company (Motor), Q.M.C., N.Y.G., station at State Armory, 1402 'Eighth Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., pursuant to General Orders No. 15, The Adjutant General's Office, 28 September 1943. (2) 2nd Truck Company (Motor), Q.M.C., N.Y.G., station at State Armory, 29 West Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, N. Y., pursuant to G.O. No. 18, The Adjutant General's Office, 22 October 1943. (3) 1st Truck Company (Motor), Q.M.C., N.Y.G., station at State Armory, 125 West 14th Street, New York, N. Y., pursuant to G.O. No. 19, The Adjutant General's Office, 26 October 1943. (4) 4th Truck Company (Motor), Q.M.C., N.Y.G., station at State Armory, 29 Masten Avenue, Buffalo, N. Y., pursuant to G.O. No. 20, The Adjutant General's Office, 5 November 1943. These units are now in process of organization, which should be completed during January, 1944. It is contemplated that the

~REPORT OF THE COMMANDING GENERAL

47

Guard will have five of these truck companies, with one attached to each of the five brigades, under our present table of organization. For purposes of supervision, under permanent personnel, administrative control of tpese units is vested in the State Quartermaster. Each of these truck companies will eventually have 40 trucks, which will average approximately 10 trucks for the use of each regiment. This is a vitally important step in the organization and preparation for emergency plans (and the training of the troops in their execution) in connection with operation pertaining to protective measures in guaranty of State sovereignty in the event of civil disorders and disasters. The problems of troop transportation and hauling of rations, if presented simultaneously, cannot be entirely solved in upstate localities by the use of these trucks, due to distance factors in the transportation of rations from planned supply depots (both Army and State institutions). However, it is believed that it will do much to overcome many existing difficulties, and that it solves, partially, at least, a very serious problem. For the City of New York and the metropolitan area it is believed to be an entirely workable solution. Further data concerning these vehicles, their kind and number, and the basis and means of acquisition are covered under heading "ARMS AND EQUIPMENT," infra. (b) Important changes in our commissioned personnel during 1943 were as follows: Major General William .Ottmann, Commanding General, New York Guard, was, at his own request, placed on the Retired Liston 17 October 1943. He was succeeded by Lieutenant General Hugh A. Drum, on 18 October 1943. IJieutenant General Hugh A. Drum, who succeeded Major General William Ottmann, had, previous to his assumption of command of the New York Guard, commanded the First Army, U.S.A. Brigadier General Edward E. Gauche, 2nd Brigade, retired for age on 2 March 1943. He was succeeded, on 16 July 1943, by Brigadier General Anson C. Goodyear, who had been Colonel of the 17th Regiment prior to his promotion. In the interim Colonel Walter X. Stanton, 8th Regiment, acted as Brigade Commander . . Lieutenant Colonel James C. Mackenzie, Executive Officer, 17th Regiment, was promoted to Colonel on 22 July 1943, and succeeded to command of the 17th Regiment.

5. Training
Considerable progress has been made in the training of the Guard in general during the current year. This progress is reflected in the individual efficiency of the regiments and separate units of the Guard, in the method and manner of their response to training directives and in the initiative and leadership indicated in many organizations. While the training in general has been conducted pursuant to directives suggested by Federal authorities, neverthe-

GENERA!:J

less our own estimate of the training situation, based upon object- . ives intended to give priority (both in sequence and in purpose) to training as a State military force, has governed in our training mission. In general summation of this phase of the repprt, the Guard has earned the splendid cooperation, assistance and support of the Internal Security Division of the Army of the United States, which is most cooperative. It should be re:rp.arked this connection in that never have the armed forces of the United States worked more wholeheartedly in cooperation, conjunction and coordination with the State military forces than during the present emergency, under the existing and contemplated security plans of both forces. 6. Field Training The Field Training Period of ten (10) days was attended by all organizations of the New York Guard. Attendance figures and percentages are give!!in Appendix No.5, attached. Field training began on 13 June and ended on 30 September. The program of instruction was intense, and included training in those basic subjects (with emphasis upon that phase of training most applicable and pertinent to the mission of the New York Guard) which can best be given in the field. The outstanding features of field training were: (1) The opportunities presented for the firing of service ammunition with the rifle, shotgun and sub-machine gun. Due to insufficient ammunition (ammunition ,was extremely limited), no opportunity for individual proficiency existed. However, it did present an opportunity, at least, for demonstrating the capabilities of these weapons. (2) Combat principles and troop leading in small units, squad, platoon and company. (3) Tactics and control measures in domestic disturbances, civil disorders and riot duty. (4) Gas instruction; uses and capabilities of gas. (5) Demonstrations in scouting and patrolling and tactical training of the soldier, showing the right and wrong methods of execution, and the dangers of the latter. (6) Leadership training of junior officers and noncommissioned officers. Other phases of training included disciplinary, technical and tactical subjects of instruction with small-unit, two-sided, tactiBal problems designed to illustrate various phases of this training; night march; grenade instruction; physical drill; first aid and sanitation; bayonet training and current training films for inclement weather instruction. The Field Training program was carefully and well designed to fit the needs of officers and men of the New York Guard. The thought and study which were put into the preparation of this program were well reflected in the results obtained and in the satisfaction generally expressed by the personnel.

REPORT

OF THE

COMMANDING

GENERAL

Many units of the Guard conducted week-end field exercises at or near their home stations, both prior and subsequent to their Camp Smith field training, without expense to the State. This contribution on the part of officersand enlisted men of their time and the money to cover the cost of these exercises indicate interest, enthusiasm and high morale. 7. Medical Care and Sanitation The health of the command during field training was, in general, excellent. There were no deaths from illness or accidents. The number of accidents was small and, with few exceptions, resulted in but short periods of hospitalization. Minor injuries were satisfactorily treated in regimental infirmaries. There seems to be no need at present to establish a Post Hospital for the care and treatment of more serious cases. Analysis of figures on a proportionate cost basis indicates that commercial or contract arrangement with the Peekskill Hospital is more economical, just as satisfactory under existing conditions and does not warrant the establishment of a Post Hospital at this time. Our Headquarters Surgeon rendered important service in the supervision of all medical phases of the field training period and in the instruction of regimental surgeons in Army sanitation, inspections and general field duties. See Appendix No. 6 for statistical data. 8. Schools The School Plan of the New York Guard includes officers,officer candidates and noncommissionedofficers,and specialist schools for communications personnel and for mess sergeants and cooks. The course of instruction follows that of the Army of the United States in plan and in scope insofar as it is applicable to the training mission of the Guard. The system of instruction governing schools is one employing the Army's method of Explanation, Demonstration, Application and Interrogation. The establishment of this school system has proved to be of great value in keeping officersabreast of current teachings, in providing 'a source of officer material necessary to our constant and heavy turnover of officer personnel within the military age group and in providing the necessary specialists, both communications and mess personnel. Through the medium of the Second Service Command Tactical . School, Hackettstown, N~J., many of our officers and noncommissioned officershave had opportunity for specialized training in the' tactics and operations peculiar to the training mission of the Guard. The course is of one (calendar) week's duration. The officersand noncommissionedofficerswho have attended are enthusiastic about the results obtained, and report very favorably of the benefits derived. See Appendix No.7.

9. Inspections At Camp Smith, during the field training period, Defense District Commanders of the Internal Security Division of the Army, acting under orders of Second Service Command, inspected our regiments which are stationed within their districts. Reports of these inspections were uniformly satisfactory. Inspections at irregular and unscheduled intervals were made by battalion, regimental and brigade commanders, in accordance with directives of these Headquarters. In upstate and outlying districts covering split units, these inspections were more limited than in the metropolitan area of the City of New York, because of transportation difficulties. In such cases these inspection trips were made by private automobile, and with some difficulty as regards time and expense. Pursuant to War Department orders, the annual Federal inspection of all units will be held during the period 4 January to 16~arch 1944.

10. Arms and Equipment

(a) The armament of the Guard remains the same. The weapons include ten (10) rifles, five (5) sub-machine guns and forty-six (46) shotguns, 12-guage, per rifle-shotgun company. (b) Items of individual clothing have been increased to include one complete uniform' per enlisted man. However, due to wide variance in sizes, all units are not yet able completely to equip the entire personnel. Efforts are being made to accomplish this by inter-organiation transfer and by increasing, by 10%, the number of uniforms issued to each unit. (c) Other items of Quartermaster properly recently received are sufficient shelter tents completely to equip the Guard; shoes, service; shirts and trousers, cotton; underwear, woolen; gloves, woolen and caps, field, in sufficient quantity to equip each command. (d) In general, other items of supply are the normal issue to replace property worn out by fair wear and tear. The equipment situation has progressively improved. (e) ~otor Vehicles: The Commanding General has requested the Army to issue, on memorandum receipt, two hundred twentyfive (225) trucks, type 1%- and %-ton, in the proportion of three to one, and thirty (30) passenger cars. These are 1940 and prioryear vehicles which, due to present policy are .classed unserviceable for Army use. They are being selected with care by the State Quartermaster, and will be reconditioned at State expense, as agreed. I t is. believed that with careful selection and subsequent repair the State will have the benefit of serviceable and usable equipment, which, under prescribed supervision and control as planned, should last for some years. At the time of this report, thirty (30) vehicles have been received. However, further issue has been suspended by the Chief of Ordnance of the Army, pending new instructions conoerning the issue of vehicles to State Guards.

11. Ammunition
A deficiency of ammunition for range practice still exists. The amount issued by the War Department is insufficient for adequate instruction practice. Rifle firing of cal. .30 service ammunition had to be limited to ten (10) rounds per man during the past field training period. This amount is not enough to develop real proficiency. Sub-machine gun and shotgun ammunition, while also limited, was sufficient to permit men armed with these weapons to develop, in general, some improvement in marksmanship ability. It is hoped that, when the requirements of the armed forces are satisfied, the allowance may be increased. continues ot occupy the same office space at 80 Centre Street, New York, N. Y.

12. Permanent Plant N ew York Guard Headquarters

Camp Smith. During the Winter and Spring of 1943, certain roads were repaired and trails cleared within the Manitou Mountain and adjacent area, to permit the limited use of this terrain for small-unit combat and troop leadership training. Due to the insufficiency of funds available for this purpose, there was not enough area cleared to permit the assignment of this terrain to organizations on an adequate time schedule basis. This resulted in having to put some units through this phase of training with more haste than is normally desirable in instruction. Armories. The administration of the armories in Greater New York was taken over by The Adutant General, pursuant to the provisions of amendments to Sections 177 to 198 of the Military Law, on 1 July 1942. It is noted here that the recommendation made in last year's report, concerning modification of the restrictions placed upon the use of armories, now having been approved and acted upon, should add materially to the financial benefits so necessary to the internal administration and management of the organizations housed therein. 13. Administratwn
The physical inventory of State and Federal property, begun in December 1942, was conducted under the supervision of brigade commanders. It revealed a satisfactory property records system in all organizations. Conferences were held by the Commanding General with brigade commanders, on matters of administration, supply and training, on the following dates: 23 January 1943 29 April 1943 29 October 1943 Regimental commanders conference on 29 April. of all organizations also attended the

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

An agreement was reached between the Commanding General, New York Guard, and the Commanding General, Second Service Command, and approved by Your Excellency, which had for its purpose the voluntary cooperation of State military forces in the planning and execution of combined operations of Federal and State military forces in case of war or domestic emergencies threatening our war efforts. 14. Recommendations The following recommendations are submitted: (a) That the period of field training be increased from ten (10) days to fourteen (14) days. Under the ten-day period, at least three (3) days are lost for instruction time-the day of arrival, the day of departure and one Sunday holiday intervening. This reduces the actual time available for training to seven (7) days, and does not permit the necessary instruction to be imparted. It is the general consensus of opinion of these Headquarters, as well as of the regimental commanders throughout the Guard, that a fourteen-day period would provide greater opportunity for additional instruction, which would be of inestimable value in the training of our high percentage of Junior officers and noncommissioned officers required because of the annual loss to the armed forces. 15. Conclusions Since assuming command of the New York Guard, on 18 October 1943, .I have made a thorough study of the Guard, its elements, extent and purpose and of its organization, personnel and supply situation. This study of the internal administration and economy of the Guard, while not at the moment complete, is nevertheless productive of an estimate of its capabilities. Deductions made from this study lead to the conclusion that, with some further planning presently in process, the Guard is preparing itself to accomplish any normal mission pertinent to the present emergency. This estimate of the situation will be a continuous process, designed to anticipate changes in our internal security mission and to meet . such changes with revision of plans where and when necessary. Ever mindful of the sovereignty of the State and the purpose of the New York Guard with respect to the protection and guaranty of that sovereignty, and in clear understanding of your wishes with respect to the unqualified accomplishment of this mission, I am sincerely appreciative of your cooperation, assistance and confidence. .

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL

31 December The Governor of the State of New York, Albany, New York:

1944

SIR :-Pursuant to Section 17, Military Law, report for the year ending 31 December 1944 is submitted. The New York Guard now in its fourth year of existence has developed a high state of efficiency as reflected in attendance both at drill and field training, and by the reports of l~ederal and state inspectors. No situations developed during the year to warrant ordering to active duty any units of the New York Guard in aid of civil authorities nor did any emergency arise calling for the New York Guard in aid of Federal authorities. It is interesting to note that a number of veterans of the present war have joined the New York Guard, and records maintained at this office indicate that two hundred and fifty have enlisted dny; ng the year. Changes in New York Guard organizations were as follows:

Bureau of Equipment and Supply
GENERAL

The year 1944 was marked by a general increase' in Federal assistance to the New York Guaru in the matter of clothing and equipment. Despite this increase in Federal assistance, it was necessary for the State to purchase certain items of clothing and equipment since, under revised Tables of Organization effective 22 September 1944, the aggregate strength of the New York Guard was fixed at 24,722 Officers and Enlisted Men, while the Federal aid strength (basis of War Department issues) remained at 18,602. The War Department has under consideration a reqnest t.o increase this latter figure. In the matter of clothing, the constant turnover of personnel in the several organizations requires that stocks on hand be above normal to furnish a reasonable size range for the Organization Supply Officer. The items of clothing and individual equipment now issued to enlisted personnel of the New York Guard exeeed in number those furnished the enlisted personnel of the New York National Guard in 1939. Each enlisted man of the New York Guard is isslled the fol. lowing clothing and individual equipment:

ANNUAL

REPORT

OF THE

ADJUTANT

GENERAL

The War Department policy of assistance is based on the strength of the New York Guard and the availability of supplies rendered surplus or obsolete to. the requirements of the Armed Forces. of the United Nations. Under this policy the quantities of arms, ammunition, clothing and equipment authorized for is~ue cannot exceed the lowest of the following three (3) strengths at time of issue: (1) Federal .aid strength authorized by the War Department. (2) Strength authorized by the laws of the State concerned. (3) Actual mustered strength. Consequently when an article of Federal clothing is authorized for issue, with an allowance for size stock, and shipped to organizations on actual strength, the fluctuating strength would require constant transfer of equipment between organizations if the State did not purchase, commercially, sufficient to make additional issue and provide an organization stock. Federal clothing in a number of instances is only available in specified sizes, hence, -further commercial purchases are required. Federal equipment received is frequently insufficient to enable complete distribution to all organizations. In order to assist Regimental Supply Officers in maintaining sufficient clothing stocks with a wide range of sizes, to provide for the ever fluctuating strength, a 20% stock surplus over Table of Organization strength is authorized for the issuance of all items of clothing, including shoes, where stock on hand at the Arsenal permits. Units, separated from Headquarters station, are authorized surplus issue of 50%. Because of the semi-perishable nature of the 24-hour Armory Emergency Rations as issued in 1943 (Appendix 1, Page 26, Annual Report of The Adjutant General, 1943), these staples were brought to Camp Smith and consumed during the field training period by the organizations to which they had been issued. Upon departure from Camp Smith organizations were issued the U.S. Army " C" Rations as a replacement for .the staples. All armories in the Metropolitan District, New York City, and in Buffalo have been issued the "C" Rations. Complete issue of "C" Rations to all armories in the State is now in progress. This issue entails the receipt, processing and shipment of some 10,000 rations. During 1944 the basic weapon was changed from shotguns to rifles and, in addition, a number of .30 caliber machine guns, M.1917 AI, as well as additional sub-machine guns, cal. .45, were issued. The receipt of this property entailed considerable detail work on the part of the personnel of the New York State. Arsenal since all the items. received were serially numbered. The shotguns having been replaced by rifles, it was necessary to have all shotguns in the hands of troops returned to the New York State' Arsenal where they were checked as to serial number, ~p.~:p~ct~d tg s,~ryi~~~bility, cleaned, oiled, wrapped, packed and ~~

shipped to depots designated by .theW ar Department. Similarly, rifles, machine guns and sub-machine guns received had to be checked alid the serial. numbers registered, repacked, and shipped to the .organizations of the New York Guard. This operation required the individual h::,mdling some thirty thousand (30,000) of pieces. Another change of equipment which required considerable detail work on the part of the personnel at this Arsenal was the recall of C.C.C. clothing by the War Department. The details of this operation are set forth in the report of the. Quartermaster Section but it is worthy of note that this transaction required the handling of some fifty-nine thousand (59,000) pieces.
MOTOR TRANSPORTATION

The War Department issued to the State a considerable number of motor vehicles. In accordance with the policy. of that Department, such issues were made with the proviso that vehicle maintenance would be undertaken by the State. The administration and maintenance of these vehicles.has entailed considerable work on the part of the limited personnel at this office. All vehicles received had to be transferred from Army issuing points throughout the State and then delivered to units of the Guard by Arsenal personnel. Vehicles were inspected, .checked .and issued, parts, tools, tires and tubes, etc., procured and issued. The constant repair requisitions and requisitions, for gasoline and other maintenance items necessitated the installation of an administrative system and necessary personnel to control such issues, which personnel had to be transferred from other activities. In this connection, administrative details involve the procurement of bids for parts or major repair work; preparation of shipping tickets and federal forms when vehicles are turned in or received at federal points; preparation and distribution of motor trap-sport bulletins covering,such technical.information as may be necessary to transmit to,using units, i. e., Maintenance and Repair Procedure, Property Accounting, Accident Reports, Toll Passes,Cooling Systems,etc.; an initial issue of training manuals and forms was also distributed to all organizations to assist them in the proper maintenance of the vehicles. Records are maintained at this office of gasoline and. oil consumption by units, as well as truekrecords as to maintenance, repair, ,tires, etc., .also of the status of equipment as to tools, parts, etc. All vehicles were used during the field training period and were utilized in transporting the baggage of all . organizations in the Metropolitan District, ,New York City,and a number of other points; attending ,field training at Camp Smith. This resulted in a saving to the State of over $3,000.00., Personnel of the Truck Companies was also transported by unit trucks. One hundred (100) Ford 1% ton Rack Trucks, without canvas cargo covers.or troop seats, were received. a,ndissued on the basis of,twenty -(20) per each of the five (5). Truck Companies.. Arrange-

Ten (lO) passenger o carS' were also received and distributed to Brigade Headquarters and to Headquarters, New York Guard. War Department authorization has recently been received for the issue of two hundred and forty (240) bicycles and sixty-eight (68) motorcycles. One hundred and seventy-three (173) bicycles and thirty (30) motorcycles have been received and issued to date. All vehicles- issued to the units of the New York Guard are insured by the State prior to such issue. The Chief, National Guard Bureau, has advised that additional vehicles as follows will shortly be issued: 61 ea. Truck, Command Reconnaissance, Y2 ton 22 ea. Ambulance, % ton Twenty (20) Cars, Scout, M3A1, have been received and issued on the basis of four (4) per Truck Company. Listed in Appendices IA and IIA are those items of Motor Transport equipment received from the Federal Government on requisition, and equipment, parts and tools purchased by the State.
PROCUREMENT AND ISSUES OF CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT

One hundred (100) Field Ranges No.1, complete with utensils, were authorized for issue by the \Var Department and distributed on the basis of four (4) per regiment, two (2) per separate battalion and one (1) to each truck company. An additional thirtyeight (38) Field Ranges No.2 were received for distribution on the basis of one (1) per metropolitan district org.anization, two (2) per upstate organization and one (1) per brigade. In view of the fact that a number of armories in New York City did not have sufficient kitchen utensils available to adequately prepare mess for organizations if alerted, and at the request of The Commanding General, New York Guard, twenty-one (21) sets of kitchen utensils were issued to armories in New York City from Arsenal stocks. Upon completion of shipment and acknowledgment of receipt by the various officers-in-Charge-and-Control, the account was transferred to the Bureau of Grounds and Structures. ' Federal issue of additional shoes and wool shirts, and initial issue of tan ties completed the uniform as issued to each enlisted man of the Guard. All organizations now have sufficient stocks , of shoes to issue two (2) pairs per man as well as two (2) shirts, flannel, o.d., per man. Also issued by the Federal Government on the basis of actual strength were the following: Pouches, 1st Aid Packet, 1st Aid Tents, shelter, half

The previous issue of shelter halves was twenty (20) per regiment for training purposes. Pursuant to instructions issued by the War Department requiring the removal of Federal insignia from federally issued clothing and the wearing of distinctive insignia by State Guard, procurement was effected of State shoulder patches for wear with the overcoat, coat and shirt. Purchase was also effected of gilt buttons, with the State Seal embossed,. to replace buttons on federally issued coats. Efforts were made to procure brass collar insignia which are required for replacement purpose but without avail. Substitute plastic collar insignia (22,000) was procured and distributed. Appendix Ie lists all articles of Quartermaster clothing and equipment purchased and received by the State of New York during the year 1944. Appendix IIC lists all articles of Quartermaster clothing and equipment issued by the Federal Government during the year 1944. As a result of the Medical Inventory forms prepared by this office and forwarded to all organizations (approximately 150 medical components on form) , the quantities required for replacement were compiled and procurement effected, (Appendix IB).

hand carts which were received in component parts. and assembled prior to reshipment. Thirty-five (35) sub-machine guns were commercially purchased during the year to.supplement the Federal issue. In order to obviate the delay necessitated by returning to the factory for repair State-owned Rifles, cal. .22, and Reising Submachine Guns, a quantity of repair parts were purchased and minor repairs effected locally.
FIELD TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Arrangements were made with Headquarters, Second Service Command, for the temporary loan of equipment, including hand carts, heavy tentage, and motor vehicles necessary for the conduct of field training at Camp Smith. Ten (10) jeeps and two (2) weapon carriers were inspected at the Army Depot, World's Fair Parking Ground, and turned over to the Camp Quartermaster. Upon completion of tJ;lefield training period these vehicles were again checked and returned to the Army Depot. As in the preceding year, the State Quartermaster requested permission from the War Department to purchase subsistence supplies from the Army for the use of New York Guard troops performing field training at Camp Smith. Permission. was' granted by the Quartermaster General with the stipulation that supplies sold for the use of State Guardsmen on active duty would be in a quantity "not to exceed the Field Ration "A" for an equal number of Army troops on similar duty and subject to restrictions currently in force." Arrangements were made with Headquarters, Second Service Command, and the Commanding General, New York Port of' Embarkation, to requisition subsistence from Camp Shanks, N. Y., the nearest depot to Camp Smith equipped to handle such requisitions. It was also stipulated that ration point payment would be made to the issuing depot. A.pplication to the Officeof Price A.dministration, New York District Office,for sufficient ration points was approved and ration bank accounts established for sugar, .coffee, meats and processed foods. In view of the fact that subsistence issues at Camp Shanks are made one day prior to consumption and since trucking, break-down and redistribution would take at least eight (8) hours, procurement was effected of one day rations by State Purchase from commercial sources. This enabled the Camp Quartermaster to be a day ahead of Army' issues and made possible early. morning issues. Supplies arriving from Camp Shanks about 1 :00 p.m. daily were warehoused and issued the following morning. The Army ration was supplemented by State Purchase from commercial sourcesof additional milk, bread, coffeeand cake mixes. One officerand two (2) non-commissionedofficersfrom the Cooks' & Bakers' School, Fort Jay, N. Y.,were detailed to Camp Smith as mess supervisors and instructors. Daily lectures and demonstrations were conducted for mess personnel and supply officers.

Report of Commanding General, New York Guard

HQ NEW. YORK GUARD
STATE OFFICE BUILDING

80 Centre Street New York, N. Y. 29 December 1944 Subject: Annual Report, 1944, New York (State) Guard To: His Excellency, the Governor of the State of New York In accordance with the requirements of Par. 6, Regulations No. 80, I have the honor to submit the following report on the affairs of the New York (State) Guard for the calendar year 1944. 1. General The New York (State) Guard is now completing its fourth year of ~ervice. This year has been significant in the release of increased items and quantities of individual equipment and of some unit equipment to the State Guard by the Federal Government, the details of which are given in ensuing paragraphs. While the training has encountered many difficulties due to the continued heavy turn-over of personnel, it has been progressive and satisfactory by reason of the interest, enthusiasm and fine spirit of the officers and men. It is the high sense of patriotism, of duty and of loyalty to the State and Nation of the officers and of the large group of non-commissioned officers, that is the backbone and sinews of the Guard, that assures its preparedness for duty and its efficiency, and that carries on its traditions of service and of sacrifice. With the manifestation of this spirit, earnestness and sense of vigilance, we can rest secure in the readiness of the Guard for any emergency which may be a threat to life and property of the citizens anti to the sovereignty of the State. 2. Strength The strength of the New York Guard has fluctuated between a low of 15,746 in April and a high of 18,467 in November, with an average of 16,791. While there are other contributing factors to the high turn-over, the dominant one has been the large number called into Federal service. The tables of organization were revised, effective, with some exceptions, at the close of the field training period, increasing the personnel in the various units, ther~by raising the authorized strength ..of the Guard from 1,796 officers and 18,146 enlisted men to 1,913 officers and 22,809 enlisted men. With the addition of a public relations officer on our permanent staff, a broad publicity program was inaugurated in May 1944. The publicity objective is an energetic recruiting campaign to bring the Guard up to the increased authorized strength. The results of this campaign were not evident for some time, but are
[43]

OF THE

COMMANDING GENERAL

now becoming increasingly apparent. The cumulative increase in strength, i. e., net increase after losses, reached a total of 1,934 enlisted men on 30 November. See AppendicesNos. 1, 2 and 3 for statistical data.

3. Attendance
The average attendance percentage for armory drills for the current year' to date was 84.5%. The attendance for our field training was 86.3 %. The labor demand in essential war production has continued heavy; transportation difficulty because of gasoline rationing is still a problem for many of our guardsmen where public facilities are inadequate. There are other factors affecting attendance. Taking them all into .consideration, the attendance record is quite satisfactory. See Appendices Nos. 3 and 6. 4. Orgiartization during the year, made desirable by an increase and change in arms and in equipment, and to increase the efficiency of the Guard. (1) Table No.3 was changed from Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, N. Y. Guard, to read "Headquarters and Headquarters Company, N. Y. Guard," and involved an increase in both officers and enlisted personnel. (2) Table No.5 was changed to read "Brigade Headquarters and Headquarters Company," and contained a decrease in officers and increase in enlisted personnel. (3)' Table No.6, Infantry Regiment, Consolidated, Rifle, involved an aggregate increase in personnel from 769 to 999, or 1010, dependent upon whether the regiment contained 4 or 6 cal. .30 machine guns in its machine gun platoon. (4) Table No.7 was changed to read "Headquarters Company, Regimental," and included a 401' 6 gun cal. .30 machine gun platoon. (5) Table No.8, Infantry Battalion, Rifle, involved an increase in personnel from an aggregate of 208 to 261. . (6) Table No. 9 was changed toread "Infantry Rifle Company, " and had an increase in strength from an aggregate of 65 to 82.. (7) Table No. 11, "Infantry Battalion, Separate," is a new table that was added to simplify this organization to the Separate Battalion units. b.Changes in commissioned personnel of New York Guard Headquarters during 1944 were made by an increase in the permanent staff as follows: . Colonel Clement H. Wright, USA, Ret., was appointed on 1 April 1944, and placed in charge of the training division. Colonel Clarence Lininger, USA, Ret., was appointed on 1 April 1944, and placed in charge of the personnel and supply divisions.

a. There was a general revision of tables of organization

Colonel John W. Foos, USA, Ret., was appointed on 16 October 1944, and detailed as assistant to the train~ng section. A .public relations section was established in the intelligence division, and Major Paul C. Raborg was placed in charge on 1 April 1944. , An inspector-instructor was authorized for each brigade on 1 April 1944, on a permanent basis. Appointments were made as follows:
1st Brigade-Lieut. 2nd Brigade-Maj. 3rd Brigade-Co!. 4th Brigade-Maj. 5th Brigade-Maj. Co!. James T. Bollenbacher Bruce Y. Williams Charles N. Morgan Walter D. Fitzpatrick Norman J. Car.ey,Sr , 1 April 1 May , .. 16 May , .. 1 April 1April 1944 1944 1944 1944 1944

,.,

A further authorization on a 'permanent basis was five sergeant inspector-instructors, one for each brigade. Due to the small pay, only two qualified men have so far been found who were willing to accept the position. See Appendices Nos. 4 and 8.

5. Training
Continued progress in the training of the .Guard has been made during the current year. The training has been conducted on the general principles and instructions indicated in Federal directives, but has stressed and accentuated tactical methods and doctrines particularly applicable to the mission and operations of the Guard. Our relations with the Security Branch, Security and Intelligence Division and the State Guard Branch Military Training Division, ' Headquarters Second Service Command, Army Service Forces, remain close and friendly. In the event of domestic emergencies, we can be assured of the most whole-hearted cooperation between the Federal forces and the Guard, as well as with the local police authorities. 6. Field Train'ing The field training period consisted this year of twelve (12) days and extended from 14 June to 21 September, excluding days of preparation and closing. rro avoid an undue length of the entire period, and in the interest of economy, there were given threeregiment periods, one two-regiment and two Separate Battalion periods (which amounted to practically 3 regiments), and three tworegiment periods, reducing the number of periods from 12 to 9. The three-regiment periods required the careful assignment of housing, sanitary and .other facilities, and .theclosest coordination of all training activities. Necessarily, the program of instruction was intensive and included training in those subjects which can best be given in the field. Special emphasis was placed on that phase of training in formations and doctrines particularly pertinent to the mission and operations of the New York Guard. The instruction was facilitated and aided this year by the personnel of the Second Service Command Tactical School from Hackettstown, N. J., commanded by Lieut. Col. Harlan Besson, and

consisting of 6 officers and 46 enlisted men. The officers as instructors and the enlisted men in demonstrations assisted materially in the training. 1st Lieut. A. W. Steiner, QMC, with 2 sergeants from the Second Service Command Bakers and Cooks School, Fort Jay, N. Y., gave practical assistance and instruction to regimental supply officers and mess sergeants and cooks' in the issue of subsistence supplies and in the operation of unit messes. The assistance of the Chemical Officer, Second Service Command, Colonel Timothy H. Murphy, made the chemical warfare demonstrations a signal success. The p:r:incipal features of field training were: (1) An increase in ammunition permitted the firing with service ammunition of both instruction and modified record practice with the rifle and sub machine gun. A familiarization course was fired with the shotgun. With the issue of cal. .30 machine guns late in May, a skeleton machine gun platoon was organized in each regiment, which was given an intensive training course in the mechanical functioning of the gun and in marksmanship. Firing was limited to 1000 inch range practice with cal. .30 machine guns and cal. .22 trainer. (2) Combat principles and troop leading in the platoon, company and battalion. (3) Tactics and control measures in domestic distubances, civil disorders and riot duty. (4) Command post exercises for the staffs of regiments, brigades and N ew York Guard Headquarters, covering domestic disturbances and civil disorders which included the mechanics of staff operation, as well as the solving of definite problems and situations which might confront the Guard. (5) Instruction in chemical weapons, both technical ~nd tactic~. . (6) Demonstrations in the tactical training of the individual soldier, in scouting. and patrolling, riot control, weapons, including chemical warfare weapons and ammunition engineer activities, intelligence and military police and firing at moving tagets. (7) L~adership training of junior officers and of non-commissioned officers was stressed. All exercises were conducted and umpired by officers, and, in some instances in the smaller units, by non-commissioned officers of the respective units, under the supervision and guidance of the instructors. The conductors of the exercises and the umpires were carefully instructed and were given rehearsal in all phases of each exercise before they were executed. This instruction proved to be sound and effective, and gave both umpires and partieipants training in the tactical principles and doctrines involved. Other phases of training included ceremonies, interior guard duty, use of grenades, engineer instruction, including road blocks, signal communication, establishment of aid stations, instructions for intelligence specialists and mess management .

Throughout the year many units conducted field exercises on week-ends at or near their home stations, without expense to the State. These exercises were prepared by the local unit officers with very satisfactory results. It indicates on the part of officers and men a high sense of loyalty and service and a splendid spirit. 7. Medical Care and Sanitatir1n

The sick record of the field training period reflects favorable and fortunate conditions. There were no deaths from illness or accidents. rrhe number of accidents were few and not serious. 'rhe patients requiring hospitalization were returned to their regiments in camp or to their home stations as quickly as possible. There appears to be no need to establish a hospital in camp. Present arrangements give adequate medical care to patients, and are economical to the State. Minor cases of illness or injury were taken care of in the regimental infirmaries. Our headquarters surgeon rendered efficient service in the supervision of the medical and sanitary service of the command, and in the training and instruction of the regimental medical personnel. See Appendix No. 6 for statistical data.
8. Schools

..1

The school system of the New York Guard includes officers, officer candidates, non-commissioned oftlcers and specialist schools for communication personnel, for mess sergeants and cooks, for engineer personnel, for supply officers, and lor motor mechanics and drivers. In addition, schools were conducted in the New York area as 10110'vl/s: \Varfare Officers, Intelligence Personnel, by officers frOIn these Headquarters; bayonet by personnel from Second Service Cornmarl cl, Army Service Forces. rrhe course of instruction and the follow those of the Army of the United States in so far as are applicable to the training mission and to the operations of Guard. 'rhis school system has proved its worth in helping to keep the personnel abreast of current military teachings, in furnishing a source of ofnee I' material and training necessary specialists. The Second Conunand Tactical School, Hackettstown, N. eL, provides for onr officers and non~commissioned officers an opportunity for specialized training in the tactics and. operations pertinent and peculiar to the mission of the Guard. The course is of one (calendar) \veek's duration. When not occupied with the regular weekly course, this School often conducts.a .special 2-day week-end course, attended by officers and non-commissioned officers, without expense to the State. Students have been very enthusiastic on the instruction given. See Appendix No.7. 9. Inspections During the field training pel'~od at Camp Smith, District Commanders of the Second Service Command inspected our regiments and separate units which are stationed within their districts. Reports of these inspections were uniformly satisfactory.

REPORT

OF THE

COMMANDING

GENERAL

Pursuant to War Department orders, the annual Federal inspection of all units will be held during the period 1 January to 30 April 1945. Inspections at irregular and unscheduled intervals were made by battalion, regimental and brigade commanders in conformity with directives from these Headquarters. In up-State and outlying districts. covering. widely dispersed units these inspections were less frequent than in the Metropolitan New York City area, on account of transportation difficulties ..

10. Arms and Equipment

This year has been marked by a sweeping change in the arms with which the Guard is equipped. All of the Federal 12,522 shotguns were withdrawn by the War Department and are being replaced by a free issue of rifles. There were received as a Federal free issue 132 Browning machine guns, cal. .30, water-cooled, 132 cal. .22. machine gun trainers, and 132 machine gun carts. A Federal free issue of 1,700 revolvers, cal. .45, is being shipped to the Guard. Scout cars to the number of 20 are on hand or enroute and will be organized into one scout car platoon per brigade. A Federal free issue of 2 Browning cal. .30, machine guns and 3 cal. .45 submachine guns per scout car, as armament, have been requested. A quantity of Federal signal communication equipment for issue to organizations was provided. The State purchased 16 Walkie-Talkies (TR 4) which were issued to the 1st Signal Company. During this year 100 new Ford 1-1;2 ton trucks, 10 5-passenger automobiles, 30 motorcycles, and 180. bicycles were received as a Federal free issue, materially easing the transportation problem of the Guard. One modern Federal fire truck was received for use at .Camp Smith and is now stationed there for all-year use. Due to increased ~"ederal free issues and some State purchases, the uniform situation has improved. One day's emergency rations, C or K, purchased by the State, have been issued to all units of the Guard. The situation with reference to arms, uniforms, individual equipment and transportation has materially improved as compared with a year ago.

11. Ammunition
During the year there was received as Federal free issue 767,000 rounds cal. .30 ball, 478,800 cal. .45 ball, and 2,014,000 rounds of cal. .22 ball ammunition, which was supplemented by 600,000 rounds cal. .~O ball and 106,000 rounds cal. .30 blank by the State. This improved ammunition situation permitted an increase in range practice for field training from 10 rounds to 25 rounds cal. .30 for the rifle, and from 20 rounds to 35 rounds cal. .45 for the sub machine gun. This enabled an instruction practice cou'rse and a modified record course to be fired for both weapons. It also provided for cal. .30 machine gun firing on basis of 100 rounds . caI. .30 ball per man for 3 men per machine gun. It has further enabled an allowance for home station firing of 10. rounds cal. .30 per officer and man for the rifle; of 180 rounds cal. .30 per machine

gun; of 1,500 rounds cal. .45 for each regimental headquarters company and each truck company, and 1,000 rounds for each. rifle comp~ny for sub-machine gun firing; in cal. .22 ammunition there is an ample allowance for rifle and machine gun trainer firing. The additional ammunition made available has been encouraging to .the troops and has stimulated interest in their. weapons and greater enthusiasm in military service. 12. Permanent Plant New York Guard Headquarters continues to occupy the same officespace at 80 Centre Street, New York 13, N. Y. Camp Smith. The entrance road to Camp Smith and other sections of roads in the main area of the post were repaired at a cost of about $10,000 from Federal funds. An allotment of $5,000 in Federal funds was made for repairs and upkeep of target ranges and buildings, and is being thus expended. The topography of Camp Smith, with its precipitous hills and heavily wooded areas, places limitations upon the use of the terrain for small combat and leadership training. State funds were made available for clearing roads and tra:ils in the Manitou and Mockville areas to provide greater terrain facilities for the conduct of field exercises. Liebman Barracks were repaired and renovated, and the cold storage plant for meats and other perishable supplies was overhauled and placed in excellent condition. A.rmories. With the increase in strength of units, it is apparent that the housing space for locker and dressing rooms is restricted and training facilities are inadequate in many armories. The desirability for the remodeling and enlargement of many existing armories, and for the construction of new armories, is a growing problem. The need for repairs, which have been very limited in recent years, is causing concern. 13. A.dministration The physical inventory of State and Federal property, begun in December 1943, was conducted for the }\rJ:etropolitanNew York City units by these Headquarters, and for the 3rd and 4th Brigades by brigade staff officers under the supervision of brigade commanders. With minor exceptions, the reports were generally satisfactory. Conferences were held by the Commanding General on matters of importance to the New York Guard as follows : 3 March 1944, in New York City, with brigade and regimental commanders concerning the New York Guard Emergency Plan, Field Order No.1, and other matters of interest. 31 March 1944, at Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., with brigade and regimental commanders on arrangements and assignments of camp facilities during field training, particularly in the 3-regiment periods.

6 December 1944, in New York Oity, with brigade commanderson matte.rs of moment to the New York Guard. On the .last training day of each period of field training a conference was held with brigade and regimental and separate unit commanders of units in camp to discuss the training and instruction just completed, and to consider suggestions and recommendations for changes and improvements in training and administration. 14. New York State G~tard Emergency Plan The New York State Guard Emergency Plan, Field Order No.1 (with Annexes), was completed 15 May 1944, with an effective date of 15 June 1944. As given in the Plan, its operational purpose is "to provide an adequately trained force for employment within State boundaries in order to: preserve the sovereignty of the State, maintain law, suppress disorders and meet such domestic emergencies as may arise within the State, including civil disturbances and disasters resulting from both war and other cause, fires, floods and similar catastrophes; guard and protect vital industries, installations and facilities essential to the war and peace efforts of the State when other means, such as local and State police of privatelyowned protection, are deemed inadequate by authorized State or Federal agencies; in the absence of, or in support of, or in COlljunction with Federal troops, prevent or suppress the activities of enemy agents or attempts at invasion; cooperate with Federal military authorities in emergencies, especially in information and observation at, or near frontiers and in the evacuation of civilians. " The plan is broad and comprehensive in outline, containing Standing Operating Procedure for simplification of certain phases of operations in emergencies, and at the same time general instructions to guide subordinate commanders in working out the details of.their plans. It divides the State into five (5) brigade operational districts, placing upon brigade commanders the responsibility for the organization, planning and operations. in their districts. The brigade commanders divide their districts into regimental areas, and regimental commanders in turn subdivided their areas into such lesser areas as are considered necessary. Plans and arrangements for the supply of the troops in the matter of rations have been worked out with the State Quartermaster; likewise with reference to ammunition and transportation facilities. The evacuation of casualties and the disposition of prisoners is covered. In order to provide for the successful execution of any mission contemplated in the Plan, provision has been made for close cooperation with Federal forces, State and local police, Officesof Civilian Defense and Protection, and numerous other agencies of an official or quasi-officialnature which may be helpful. In this connection, the agreement between the Commanding General, New York Guard, and the Commanding General, Second Service Command, and approved by your Excellency, which had for its purpose the voluntary cooperation of State military forces in the planning and execution of combined operations of Federal

and State military forces in case of war threatening our war effort, and which January 1945, was continued by mutua.! manding Generals, with the approval of

or domestic emergencies was to terminate on 1 consent of the two Comyour Excellency.

15. Recommendations
The following recommendations are submitted: of the National Guard into Federal service, armory repairs have been held to a minimum. Provisions for inadequate repairs are uneconomical, as they result in more rapid deterioration of the building, making the cost of eventual restoration excessive. It is recommended that a more liberal allotment .of funds for maintenance and repairs be made for the next fiscal year.

a. Since .the departure

16. Condusion
In reflection of the performance of the Guard during the year, I can state with much satisfaction that there is marked improvement in its strength and efficiency, and that it is making notable progress in preparing itself for any normal mission that may confront the State in the present emergency. My report would be incomplete were I not to express my sincere appreciation, and also that of the New York Guard as a whole, of your support, cooperation and confidence.

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT GENE,RAL

31 December, 1945

The Governor of the State of New York, Albany, New York:

SIR :-Pursuant to Section 17 Military Law, report for the year ending 31 December 1945 is submitted. The New York Guard, now in its sixth year of existence, continues to be the main defense body of the State for the maintenance of law and order. While hostilities of World War II ceased 14 August 1945 none of the organizations of the New York National Guard that were inducted into the active service of the United States. during the years 1940 and 1941 have been released to the State, their services being required as occupational troops both in Europe and in the Pacific areas. During the year 'units of the New York Guard were ordered to full time duty in aid of civ.il authorities as follows: 31 January to 11February, inclusive, during a traffic emergency caused by heavy snow storms and freezing temperature. Units were activated in upper New York from Poughkeepsie to Buffalo. 14-15 A.pril at Poughkeepsie during funeral services of the late President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. 11-13 June at Jamestown during a freak wind storm that caused much damage to property. 17-20 December at Buffalo, during a heavy snow storm. Veterans of World War II continue to enroll in the New York Guard and reports to date indicate 814 are now enlisted. Such personnel will prove a valuable adjunct in the coming reconstitution of the New York National Guard since most of them possess the necessary age and physical requirements for that component. Changes in New York Guard organizations were as follows:

During the year 1945, there was but a slight increase in the quantity of clothing and individual equipment furnished the New York Guard, either by State purchase or as an issue from the War Department, the peak of this issue having been reached in 1944. There was an increase, however, in the quantity of organizational equipment procured and issued. Pursuant to the provisions of General Orders No.1, The Adjutant General's Office, 31 January, 1945, which mobilized the 3rd and 4th Brigades, New York Guard, in accordance with the proclamation of the Governor of the State of New York declaring an emergency throughout the State, this office immediately put into effect its mobilization plan for the rationing,and supply of equipment to troops on duty.. . Report of operations of office of State Quartermaster, relative to this operation, is submitted in this report under the title" Mobilization pursuant to Proclamation of The Governor 31 January 1945." Upon informal advice from the War Department as. to the anticipated number of organizations which will constitute the New York National Guard when reorganized, and upon notification from the National Guard Bureau that supplies and equipment for National Guard Tables of Organization units will automatically

be included in the supply requirements of the War Department upon the establishment of an 'approved troop basis for the postwar National Guard, immediate planning was effected to provide for the necessary storage facilities required for organizational equipment. A detailed study of the problem indicates that the quantity, variety, and complexity of organizational equipment and individual clothing and equipment will severely tax limited facilities available, and that it will be essential to establish sub-depots or central storage points throughout the State. The National Guard Bureau stated that it would assist the State iQ securing desirable surplus plants and structures owned by the Government and now being offered for sale for commercial purchase by the Reconstruction ]linance Corporation. A requirement list based upon location and existing facilities, including appropriate locations for air fields for New York National Guard Air Groups was prepared and submitted to the Commanding General, New York Guard, for his consideration. Acting upon the information furnished and with consideration to the proposed tactical disposition of troops, the Commanding General has instituted requests through The Adjutant General of the State and the National Guard Bureau to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for certain facilities. The National Guard Bureau also advised that current army stocks contain many items which are not Tables of Organization and Equipment and which could be advantageously put to military use by the State in State controlled National Guard installations and facilities. A list, including Quartermaster, Engineer, Ordnance and Signal equipment, and items of ,armory and camp equipment, was prepared and forwarded to the War Department. ,The return of the National Guard when it eventuates confronts this Bureau, in addition to its storage problems, with a reorganization of present internal administrative procedures. Based on experience gained during the past six years, it is evident that the operations of this Bureau will have to expand to efficiently and economic~lly service the New York National Guard. The expansion is necessitated by the increased strength of the New York National Guard and the tremendous administrative detail required in handling the resultant quantities of organizational equipment in its numerous classifications. A specialized executive, clerical and handling force familiar with classification, nomenclatures, postings, accounting, etc., for each of the separate classes of property is essential. To this end a plan is in process of promulgation and will, as soon as completed, be presented to The Adjutant General for consideration. Included in the plan is provision for the technical operation of each of the following branches: Quartermaster, Ordnance, Motor Transport, Medical, Chemical Warfare, Air Corps, Signal, Engineer. It having become evident that the Records Section operatio:Q., with the ever increasing quantity of supplies and equipment being received, coupled with increased administrative requirements and

personnel changes, had resulted in. a "bottleneck" in the processing channel,. and in anticipation of the tremendous accounting burden that the return of the New York National Guard will bring, it was decided to transfer accounting responsibility to the various technical sections concerned. The dissolution of the Records Section places administrative responsibility for the maintenance of proper, accurate and up-to-date accounts directly upon the section procuring, issuing and processing each class of property. Consequently, any section can now immediately check the status of. any item from tlle time of its receipt in the State to its final disposition. The processing of vouchers, final action, filing of records, debit and credit postings, action on Reports of Survey, Certificates of Limited Losses, Schedules of Property Lost, Damaged or Destroyed, and any correspondence pertaining to State or Federal property is all accomplished by the pertinent section concerned, Le., Quartermaster, Medical, etc. ' In furtherance of the reorganization plan, a study has been made toward the creation of a State Service Force. This plan envisages the utilization of Federal caretakers (when authorized) as a unit under direction of the State Quartermaster and the possible attach"' ment of such service troops as Ordnance and Quartermaster Companies .to this Service. Force. I t further proposes aNew York Guard Utilities Officer for each armory, and includes a plan for a cadre of New York Guard troops to be maintained at all times with a view to the avoidance of a repetition of 1940. Both The Adjutant General and the Commanding General have indicated their approval of the principle of the plan and upon its completion it will be submitted to the proper authorities for consideration. In connection with maintenance of the military equipment of State Guard units, Headquarters Army Service Forces has again invited the attention of State authorities to the provisions of AR 850-250 and ASF Circular No. 365, 1944, which regulations refer to the State responsibility for maintenance and operation, within standards consistent with Army Regulations and practices, of all Federally issued equipment. The Chief of Ordnance and the Chief Signal Officer, War Department, have agreed to furnish spare parts and accessories for Federal equipment, on a reimbursable basis, when such parts are commercially unobtainable by the State Guard, provided such action will not impair army supply. Details of operation follow:
PROCUREMENT AND ISSUES OF CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT

Initial issues of clothing and equipment were made to allorganizations of the New York Guard, as supplies became available, Le., tents, shelter half; mess equipment; haversacks ; helmets, steel, Ml, etc., and as strengths of various organizations increased. Replacement issues were also made of clothing and equipment on proper credit vouchers, such as, Forms #18, #447, Reports of Survey, Certificates of Expenditure and Limitec1:. Losses. :

During the Transportation Emergency in the early part of the year, emergency issues of the following items were made to mobililized organizations: Comforters, cotton Gloves, wool, O.D. Overshoes, rubber Socks, wool, O.D. In view of the critical shipping situation up-state due to severe storms, issues were made to all up-state organizations, ,based on Table of Organization strength, of the following items: Bags, barrack Blankets, wool, O.D. Caps, winter , Gloves, wool Overshoes, arctic Socks, wool Drawers, wool Undershirts, wool In accordance with a directive from the Chief, National Guard Bureau, 23 March 1944, all stocks of steel helmets,M1917, were recalled from organizations and replaced by the new type steel helmet Ml. Initial issues of clothing and equipment to the newly activated 1st Quartermaster Co. "Depot ", as authorized by Table of Organization No. 12, were completed on 30 September. A critical shortage of cotton clothing developed in the Pacific theater and the War Department under date of 7 July 1945, issued telegraphic instructions to the effect that all warehouse stocks would be turned over to Federal depots for redistribution. This was immediately complied with. Similarly, a shortage of woolen shirts developed and a quantity was returned from our stocks. A medical inventory form was prepared and forwarded all organizations for accomplishment and return. The quantities required for replacement were compiled and procurement effected. Based upon the inventory as shown by the organization, replacement medical supplies or expendable items were immediately shipped and request submitted to organizations for the preparation of Reports of Surveyor Form No. 18 for those non-expendable items listed on the inventory as not being on hand. In accordance with the revised Table of Organization, increasing the strength from 22 enlisted men to 34 enlisted men, automatic issues of Belts, web, Hospital Corps, complete with components, were made. Two (2) Wooden Litters to complete the equipment of 1 Ambulance issued to each of the 22 regiments were shipped to all organizaHons. There was no Engineer property on hand in the State for issue to organizations and as none was available from Federal sources,

MOTOR TRANSPORT

'-

The operations of this section, particularly in the maintenance of its records and accounts, were greatly handicapped by the frequent exchanges, in addition to initial issues of motor vehicles. The exchanges were directed by the War Department and, in these transactions a total of 560 motor vehicles were transferred from the War Department to the New York Guard and of this total, 190 vehicles, resultant from such transfers, are on hand (109 GMe tru~ks and 81 Jeeps). The 100 Ford Rack, 1112 ton, 4x2 trucks, issued by the War Department in 1944, in accordance with AR 850-250, and which were issued by this officeon the basis of 20 to each of the five (5) organized Truck Companies, were pursuant to War Department directives, exchanged during February for 100 Chevrolet Cargo trucks, 11/2ton, 4x4. Although these vehicles had been processed by the issuing depots, it was necessary to commercially overhaul and purchase many parts and accessories for .their proper maintenance. In June 1945, the War Department directed another exchange of vehicles and substituted 109 QMC trucks, 21/2ton, 6x6. These vehicles were all to be issued "usable but not processed to SB9-2". Upon completion of the transfer of 60 of these trllcks, reports were received from Truck Companies indicating that the vehicles were not only unserviceable but many beyond economicalrepair. Correspondence was immediately initiated with the War Depart~ent advising of the condition of the vehicles and requesting that the trucks be processed by Army Shops in the vicinity of the New York Guard unit to which issued. Pursuant to this request, the Office of the Chief of Ordnance granted authority to replace the 109 GMC trucks with vehicles processed in accordance with War Department Supply Bulletin 9-2.

The 60 trucks which had been received, were again exchanged for processed vehicles. These vehicles were drawn from the Service Command Motor Pool at Pine Camp and at the Service Command Motor Vehicle Pool, Corona, New York, anti it was necessary to have personn~l from this office proceed to those stations in order to inspect, accept. and supervise delivery. Thirty-eight (38) motorcycles and 173 bicycles were received and shipped to organizations of the New York Guard. This completed the authorization from the Chief, National Guard Bureau during the latter part of 1944 for 68 motorcycles and 240 bicycles. Authority was also received from the War Department for an issue of twenty-two (22) ambulances, ~ ton, 4x4, on the basis of one (1) per regiment.. These were received in February and were immediately issued to organizations. In June 1945, the War Department requested that the Command Reconnaissance Cars, 112 ton, 4x4, be returned to the Government because of the critical need for this type vehicle by the War Food Administration. To replace these 61 Command Reconnaissance Cars, 81 Trucks, ~ ton, 4x4, (Jeeps) were issued. In accordance with a directive from. the Commanding General, New York Guard, the Jeeps were distributed as follows:

Gasoline records, daily dispatch records, preventative maintenance service and technical' inspection forms and preventative maintenance roster are maintained by this office for all vehicles in the State Quartermaster administrative pool. All organizations without bulk storage facilities in their respective armories were issued credit cards for the purchase of gasoline and oil not to exceed the quantities specified in State Quartermaster Circular No.2, 23 March 1945.
FINANCIAL OPERATIONS-FEDERAL AND STATE

Appropriations for the fiscal year 1945-6 in the amount of $33,450.00 for repairs and maintenance at Camp Smith (Allotment Advice No. 618-1330) and $2,115.00 for the rental of target ranges in the State (Allotment Advice No. 618-1430) were received from the War Department. . To date Federal vouchers totaling $24,488.04 for repair and maintenance at Camp Smith and for target range rental have been processed and forwarded to the finance officer, U.S.A., for paym~nt. T'welve (12) vouchers covering the rental and lease renewals of Federally leased target ranges throughout the State were prepared.
PROPERTY ACCOUNTING

Records and accounts of this office were audited by representatives of the Second Service Command in May and November 1945 and Certificates of Clearance Nos. 2-4340-45 dated 29 May 1945 and 2-307-46 dated 16 November 1945, as evidence of the satisfa~ory audit, were received. At the close of business 28 December 1945, the value of State and Federal property on the accounts of the State Quartermaster was $5,191,725.70.
ORDNANCE

With the following exceptions' there ~ere no major changes or additions of weapons during the year: a. An initial issue of 1704 Revolvers was received from the War Department and issued in accordance with existing Tables of Equipment. b. Due to an increase in strength an additional 1,330 Rifles, Cal. .30, M. 1917, were received from the War Department and issued in accordance with existing Table~ of Equipment. c. 940 Target Rifles, Cal. .22, were received and issued.
WAREHOUSE AND SHIPPING' OPERATIONS

During the twelve month period ending 31 December 1945, 337 tons of Ordnance, Medical, Quartermaster and Signal equipment were received and stored and 341 tons of Quartermaster, Engineer, Ordnance and Signal equipment were shipped to organizations throughout the State.

The system of perpetual inventory initiated in 1944 was continued in 1945 and four complete inventories were effected. Upon the completion, each inventory was audited. There was prepared and stored in the warehouse, mobilization requirements for the initial operation of three Ration Distribution Points as required under the present mobilization plans. The stores consist of condiments which are boxed and labeled ready for immediate shipment to organizations and the necessary equipment for the establishment of the distributing point in the event of an emergency. Four hundred nine (409) shipments were received during the year. New York State Arsenal personnel and trucks effected 561 local deliveries.
FIELD TRAINING ACTIVITIES

As in the past, arrangements were made with Headquarters Second Service Command for the temporary loan of equipment including heavy tentage and motor vehicles necessary for the conduct of field training at Camp Smith and as in preceding years the State Quartermaster arranged with the War Department for the purchase of subsistence supplies from the Army for the use of New York Guard troops performing field training at Camp Smith. Under the authority granted, subsistence was drawn from Camp Shanks, New York, on the certification that such supplies were for the use of State Guardsmen on active duty, and would be in a quantity "not to exceed the field ration 'A' for an equal number of Army troops on similar duty and subject to restrictions currently in forc~". Application was made to the Office of Price Administration, New York District Office for sufficient ration points for the withdrawal of rationed items from Camp Shanks. The withdrawal of subsistence supplies from Camp Shanks, made one day prior to consumption, has proven to be of inestimable value. The State purchase of one day's ration enabled the Camp Quartermaster to be a day ahead of Army issues and made possible early morning issues for consumption the following day. The Army ration was supplemented by State purchase from commercial sources of additional milk products, coffee, sliced cake, and prepared cake mixes. Field training reports from organization commanders indicate that the quality of the ration was excellent and the quantity was sufficient.
PLANT OPERATIONS

The installation of a stand pipe system throughout the administrative and warehouse buildings and of hand fire extinguishers of the wall bracket type for manual use, now constitutes a satisfactory means of fire protection. Considering the age, size and storage content of the building, such a system is absolutely essential. To provide further fire protection throughout the warehouse, hand extinguishers of the five gallon spray type have been placed at

G. O. 1 A.G.O.N.Y. 31 January 1945 S.O. 12 Hq. N. Y. G. (S. G.) 31 January 1945 1. Notice of mobilization of certain organizations of the New York GuarCi was received by telephone from G-4, Hq. New York Guard at 1230 H, 31 January 1945. 2. Verbal orders were at once issued directing the activation of certain Sections of the Personnel of the State Quartermaster's Office in accordance with the Mobilization Plan of that office. 3. Arrangements previously completed were confirmed with the Director of Supply, 2nd Service Command, A.S.F., at 1600 Hand Colonel Harrold, the Director, instructed the Federal installations concerned- (the Albany Commissary; Rome Air Base; Rhoades General Hospital; Fort Niagara; Syracuse Commissary) to issue rations to the organizations of the New York Guard which were mobilized, and where required,to issue blankets, cots and other necessary items. 4. Telegrams were dispatched designating Agent Officers and informing them of ration distributing points; also to the Commanding Officers of Federal installations and Superintendents of State institutions informing them of the Agent Officers designated and of the number of persons for whom he (the Agent Officer) was authorized to draw rations. 5. Certain organizations (notably those in Buffalo and Rochester) were unable to avail themselves of the designated ration distributing points because of impossible road conditions and lack of transportation. These organizations were authorized to purchase supplies in the open market at not to exceed $1.50 per man per day. 6. The Commanding General, 4th Brigade, requested certain Medical equipment and this, together with other emergency equipment (additional overshoes and comforters) from Arsenal stocks, was loaded on Arsenal trucks on the night of 31 January and convoy departed at 0700 H, 1 February. This convoy included in its cargo additional supplies for the 3rd Brigade organizations which had been mobilized and was under commana of Lieutenant Colonel Joseph A. Forgett of this office who was designated as Liaison 7. The 2nd Regiment, anticipating mobilization, dispatched trucks from Troy which arrived at the New York State Arsenal Officer with the 4th Brigade.

on the night of 1 February, were loaded and departed for home station at 0950 H, 2 February. 8. The Commanding General, 3rd Brigade, dispatched a driver to pick up an ambulance for the 6th Regiment which driver departed at 0845 H, 3 February, with Ambulance USA 71567. The ambulance was loaded with additional socks and gloves consigned to the' S~4, 3rd' Brigade, for such distribution as he desired. 9. The length of the emergency service and its nature required additional issues of socks and gloves to practically all of the organizations mobilized and shipments were made by Arsenal truck, Parcel Post and by passenger train by' arrangement with the N. Y. Central Railroad. 10. All organizations were advised by letter to obtain bids locally, at the conclusion of the emergency, for the laundering of socks, underwear, blankets and mattress covers and for the cleaning of clothing worn during the emergency period and to submit such bids to this office no later than two (2) weeks after demobilization. 11. Organizations were also advised to immediately transmit to this office Certificate of Expenditure covering the number of " C" Rations consumed during the first 24-hour period of the mobilization in order that replacement might be effected. 12. Local market ration procurement was authorized all enlisted personnel remaining on duty 24 hours after demobilization in accordance with letter, Hq., New York Guard, Subject: Demobilization, 3 February 1945. 13. The Regional Office of Price Administration was contacted with reference to the allotment of ration points necessary to reimburse Federal Commissaries and State institutions from which subsistence supplies had been drawn during the emergency. That office furnished the necessary allotment and ration point checks were transmitted to the several depots. 14. Subsistence vouchers for the payment of subsistence supplies drawn from U. S. Army Commissaries, State institutions and organizations authorized local market procurement are being received and are in process of payment. 15. Immediate institution of Reports of Survey covering property lost, damaged and destroyed during the emergency was requested of all organizations. 16. Organizations were directed to return all property borrowed from Federal depots to such depots immediately upon demobilization.
SUMMARY

The mobilization 1. Equipment

established

certain facts:

(a) The equipment now in the hands of troops is, hi general, sufficient for the initial and early stages of mobilization and would be sufficient for an emergency of limited duration.

ANNUAL

REPORT

OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

21

The particular nature of this emergency and the type of duty it involved required replacement and/or additional issues, of certain items as: gloves, socks, overshoes. (b) The specific shortage which developed was in bedding (cots and blankets). This was rectified by borrowing from Army stocks":however, comforters have been and will be issued to organizations outside the Metropolitan New York City Area (the reserve for New York City will be maintained at the New York State .Arsenal due to storage limitations, except for specific instances such as the 8th Regiment where ample storage facilities are available). Cots are a critical item at this time but requisitions are on file and as soon as they are available they will be issued to all organizations. 2. The ration arrangements which had been effected with the Second Service Command, A.S.F. and with. the State institutions proved sati,sfactory and workable. (a) The condition of the roads and shortage of transportation made it impracticable to utilize the ration distributing points to the full extent of their availability (notably Buffalo and Rochester) with the result that local market purchase was resorted to in a greater degree than had been contemplated in the Mobilization Plans and than would be necessary under normal road conditions. (b) The" C" (reserve) ration; while available in every organization' was not used in all cases as contemplated by the Mobilization Plan. . 3. Quartermaster Operations

The mobilization definitely established the necessity for a Quartermaster Service Battalion as contemplated by Tables of Organization which G-4, Headquarters N.Y.G., has prepared in conference with the State Quartermaster. The limited scope of the emergency permitted of the organizations functioning independently and in this manner, the Headquarters companies of the organizations were able to take care of the situation. However, in a general mobilization, requiring the establishment of distributing points for rations, etc. (as would be the case in New York City and in Buffalo and in other centers), it is evident that some organization especially trained in these functions would benecessary. The detail of personnel from organizations to operate distributing points would not be -practical due to lack of experienced personnel and trained supervision.

Incoming and outgoing mail and railway express necessitated the handling and distribution of one hundred twenty-five thousand four hundred and eighteen (125,418) pieces. War Records Bureau During the year, 1945, War Records Bureau answered 3667 requests for information. The nature of the information sought varies, the great majority o:f requests being :for the individual records o:f the soldiers to be used for authentication in applying for: the various State and Federal veteran benefits and preferences. As in the past, in all cases where information is not available in this Bureau the correspondent is advised where information sought may be obtained. An increasing number of requests are being received from surviving relatives for the authentication of the records of deceased veterans of World War II, to be used in seeking admission to the American Legion Auxiliary.

Annual Report,

1945, New York (State)

Guard

His Excellency,

the Goverrwr of the State

of New York

In accordance with the requirements of Par. 6, Regulations No. 80, I have the honor to submit the following report on the affairs of the New York (State) Guard for the calendar year 1945. 1. General The New York (State) Guard is completing its fifth year of service. The past year has been an important one in the history of the Guard, in its training and in its achievement. Continuous training in the functions and mission of State Guard troops, as outlined in New York (State) Guard Emergency Plan, Field Order No.1, resulted in the superior performance of duty by the organizations engaged during the transportation emergency of January and February. The year is also noteworthy for the progress made in acquiring' many additional items of organizational and individual equipment. Particular acknowledgment is made of the interest, enthusiasm and fine spirit of officers and enlisted men, who have persevered during the most trying days of the war, and who are continuing to carryon at considerable hardship to themselves. rrhe loyalty and devotion to duty, State and country, as characterized by their service, is most commendable. 2. Strength The strength of' the New York (State) Guard has fluctuated between a low of 18,323, in January, and a high of 20,256, in July, with an average of 19,163. See Appendices Nos. 1, 2 and 3 for statistical data. POI' the major portion of the year the dominant factor contributing' to high turnover was the number of men called into Federal service. After the ternrination of hostilities many of our enlisted personnel, who have served at great personal sacrifice, have not re-enlisted. This also was a heavy factor in turnover in the latter part of the year. Every effort is being made to supplement our units with discharged A.U.S. personnel. To this end, we are offering personnel who are discharged from Federal service like grades inthe New York (State) Guard. It is felt that this will counter, in a large measure, losses through expiration of term of service. To date, approximately 1,000 of such men have enlisted in the New York (State) Guard.

3. Attendance
The average attendance percentage for armory drills for the year (through 30 November) was 80.6%. The attendance for field training was 81.6%. For statistical data see Appendices Nos. 3 and 5. Those figures are reasonably satisfactory, 'all factors being considered. For the major portion of the year there existed transportation difficulties. Further, with the termination of hostilities many fijlt that their jobs were done, and a~tendance suffered accordingly. In the (State) Guard discipline is handicapped to a certain extent, since punishment fo'r absence without official leave is not permitted. However, every effort is being made to stimulate interest in the units and the training program presented.

1945, a part of the headquarters and headquarters company of each brigade. Each scout car platoon is equipped with four scout cars, each armed with a machine gun, cal. .30. Other minor changes in organization made during the year are shown in Appendix No.4, attached. b. During the latter part of the current year an intensive study was made by Headquarters New York Guard as to the best method of re-establishing the New York National Guard, when directed to do so by the Federal government. This study indicated that the New York National Guard, as it existed at the time it was inducted into the Federal service in the latter part of 1940 and the early part of 1941, will not be returned to the State of New York as a functioning unit, since all enlisted personnel will have been discharged and officers returned as individuals. The colors and records of the New York National Guard organizations will be returned to State control. c. The New York (State) Guard is a going concern. It is well organized and well trained, armed and led. ' It has units in all former National Guard armories, and contains many former National Guardsmen. d. After careful consideration, it was decided to use the New York (State) Guard as a basis for the re-establishment of the New York National Guard, and to reorganize the New York (State) Guard in such a manner as to serve as the initial step in preparation for this purpose. Full readjustment and transformation will take some time, as the process will necessarily have to be gradual. In order that the ultimate transition of the New York (State) Guard to the New York National Guard may proceed smoothly and be accomplished with a minimum of disruption and at the' same time insure the existence of an efficient, strong force to meet any emergency within the State, the following plan has been adopted: (1) Organization of four area divisional commands from existing units of the New York (State) Guard, supplemented by personnel released from Federal service.

4. Organization a. Scout car platoons were organized in January

(2) Modification of existing New York (State) Guard units. (3) Attachment and assignment to New York (State) Guard units of desirabble officers and warrant officers who have been released from active service with the Federal armed forces. These officers and warrant officers may be assigned to fill any position, even though of a higher grade, authorized in the table of organization of a unit; or they may be attached to units in excess of normal tables of organization under conditions prescribed by Headquarters New York (State) Guard. In all cases these officers and warrant officers may retain the grades held by them at the time of release from Federal service. (4) Enlistment in New York (State) Guard units of noncommissioned officers and other enlisted men who have been released from active service with the Federal armed forces. Non-commissioned officers may be enlisted in units in excess of the applicable tables of organization. Noncommissioned officers will receive noncommissioned grades equal to' those held by them at the time of their release from Federal service. e. The New York (State) Guard will be reorganized, effective 1 January 1946. This reorganization is outlined fully in General Orders No. 14, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, which is attached as Appendix No.9. f. The reorganization of the New York (State) Guard will in no way effect the provisions of Field Order No.1, Headquarters N ew York (State) Guard, dated 15 May 1944, as amended, which remain in full force. Provision has been made for the necessary changes in assignment of present brigade operational districts to divisional operational districts, which will retain the present assignment of areas for emergency mission.

5. Training
Continued progress in the training of the State Guard has been made during the current year. The training has been conducted in accordance with the general principles and instructions contained in Federal directives; but has stressed and accentuated tactical methods and doctrines particularly applicable to the mission and operations of the Guard. Our relations with the Security Branch, Security & Intelligence Division, and the State Guard Branch, Military Training Division, Headquarters Second Service Command, Army Service Forces, remain close and friendly. In the event of domestic disturbances we can be assured of the most wholehearted cooperation between the Federal forces and the Guard, as well as with local police authorities.

6. Armory Training a. During the current year there has been a definite improvement
in armory training. Planning for training, to success, has shoVin marked improvej;ent. which is so essential Training programs

and schedules were in general very good in all echelons of command and indicated intelligent care in their preparation. During the year special training with the bayonet for State Guard missions was instituted. b. The Federal government provided additional material, which permitted additional training in indoor rifle and machine gun marksmanship, and other armory training. c. During the active duty of a portion of the New York (State) Guard-the transportation emergency (30 .January to 10 Fpbl'uary 1945)-opportunity was afforded for valuable training in command and all other types of administration. d. Headquarters New York (State) Guard conducted a lecture and demonstration of the methods of operation of a command post at all brigade and regimental headquarters throughout the State; and a command post exercise in which New York (State) Guard Headquarters and all brigade and regimental headquarters in Greater New York participated.

period this year extended from 14 June to 24 September, excluding days of preparation and closing. Each unit was on duty hvelve days, and received field training during nine days, the remainder of the training period being days of arrival and departure and one holiday (Sunday). In order to avoid an undue length of the entire field training period, there were five three-regiment periods, two two-regiment periods, one period for two regiments and two Separate Battalions, and one period for one. regiment and one Separate Battalion. The threeregiment periods required careful assignment of housing, sanital'y and other facilities, and the closest coordination of an training activi ties. b. As was the case last year, great assistance in training was provided by the personnel of the Second Service Command State Guard School (formerly the" Second Service Command Tactical School"), from Hackettstown, N. ,J., commanded by Lieut. Col. Harlan Besson, and consisting of six officers and forty enlisted men. The officers conducted conferences, command post exercises and machine gun training; commanded troops in demonstrations and otherwise assisted in them; and also assisted in tactical problems and other types of training. Great assistance in the chemical warfare demonstration was again rendered by Col. Timothy H. Murphy, the Chemical Offlcer, Second Service Command, and enlisted men under his command. M. Sgt. Philip Lewis, from the Second Service Command Bakers' and Cooks' School, Ft. Jay, N. Y., gave practical assistance and instruction to regimental and separate battalion supply officers, mess sergeants and cooks in the issue of subsistence supplies and in the operation of unit messes. c. The traip.ing program was intensive and stressed training in those subjects which can best be given in the field. Special empha-

sis was placed on training in formations and operations particu'larly pertinent to the mission and operations of the New York (State) Guard. The principal features of the field training were as follows: (1) lVeapons Pr'actice. An increase in amount of ammunition available and the addition of two ranges for submachine gun and revolver practice permitted the firing with service ammunition of both instruction and modified record practice courses with the rifle, the submachine gun; the revolver, cal. .45, and the machine gun, cal. .30. These courses totalled the following number of rounds per man required or authorized to fire; rifle, 50; submachine gun, 35; revolver, 65; machine gun, cal. .22, trainer, 100; machine gun, cal. .30, 225 (including 25 rounds at field targets). Arrangements were made for providing i.nsignia for marksmanship, as follows: rifle expert, sharpshooter, and marksman; revolver expert, sharpshooter, and marksman; submachine gun marksplan, and machine gun (cal. .30) expert, first-class gunner and second-class gunner. In recogllition of the service rendered by New York (State) Guard personnel in the 1945 New York State transportation emergency, the N. Y. Central Railroad System is presenting five plaques to the New York (State) Guard for an annual a"\vard-one 1vithin each brigade-to the regiment or separate battalion of the brigade most proficient in rifle marksmanship during the summer encampment. Shotgun pI'actice was scheduled, but was not fired due to limitations of time and unavailability of ranges. Dummy grenade practice '.!fas prescrihed for all rifle company personnel. rrwo men per squad in each rifle company trained with grenades on the newly-prepared practice grenade courts. Bayonet practice, including a bayonet qualification course, was prescribed for an rifle company personnel on the newly-constructed bayonet courses. (2) Tact'ical Problems. Combat principals and troop-leading in' the squad, platoon, company and battalion, and leadership training of junior officers and noncommissioned officers were stressed in all tactical problems. The Riot Control Problem was designed to give training in the application of the principles governing the use of troops in handling and dispersing disorderly crowds which -the civil authorities were unable to control. Each battalion in turn acted as "troops" and "rioters" in a situation in which civil disorders had developed in a section of a city represented by the garages at Camp Smith. This problem was different from that of last year in that the battalion acting as "troops" had attached to it a machine gun section, part of the communications section, an engineer detachment, part of the medical detachment, and, when available, a scout car. The Village Problem was designed to give training in the application of the principles governing the preparation of a village for defence, the approach to and attack of such a village, the defence of the village, and street and house-to-l},ouse fighting, and to teach

LEADERSHIP. Each battalion (less one company) attacked a mock village (" Mockville"), which was defended by one company. The Platoon Problem was designed to give training in the application of the principles governing combat of small units in the attack and defence of a position, and to teach LEADERSHIP. One platoon of each company conducted an approach march, and selected and occupied a defensive position; the other platoon conducted an approach march, and located and attacked the position. During the approach march each platoon was confronted with three" tactical incidents' ,namely, a sniper, a civilian, and an enemy reconn~issance patrol, which necessitated quick decisions and definite action by the platoon leader. Umpiring. Tactical problems were conducted and umpired by officers and (in some instances, in the small units) by noncommissioned officers, under the supervision and guidance of the Post. training staff. The conductors of the problems and the umpires were carefully instructed and rehearsed in all phases of each problem before it was executed. This instruction proved to be sound and effective, and gave both umpires and participants training in the tactical principles and doctrines involved. (4) Demonstrations. Demonstrations included firing the various weapons with which the Guard is armed, illustration of target designation and fire-control, and covering a wide front with cross-fire in a tactical situation; organization and operation of a target range and of a bayonet course; an exhibition of firing weapons by personnel of the F. B. I.; scouting, patrolling, concealment, and use of cover; interior guard duty; firing at moving targets; entrucking and detrucking; the approach to, and occupation of, a defensive position, and the attack and envelopment of the position; riot control formations (squad, platoon, and company) ; illustration of troops clearing an area of disorderly crowds; clearing a house by use of tear gas, and by fire and movement when the house was occupied by armed men protected against gas; defence of one house of a village and of a group of houses; tactical principles of the attack and clearing of a village; the use of various types of smoke, gas and incendiaries, and the use of gas and smoke in dispersing an imaginary riotous crowd; use of inspection road blocks and other types of simp~e engineering obstacles; searching of prisoners, dispersing a crowd, and other types of action to be taken by military police or by State Guardsmen in certain situations (5) Command Post Exercises. Brigade, regimental and battalion commanders, their staffs, and headquarters companies or detachments (including communications sections), participated in command post exercises involving areas of widespread disorder assumed to exist in Westchester, Putnam and adjoining Counties. , In addition, Headquarters and Head-

.quarter~ Company, N.Y.G., and 1st Signal Company, N.Y.G., participated in a three-day command post exercise involving disorders assumed to exist in Greater New York and Westchester County. In all cases the exercises combined the actions of lower echelons of command with those of higher echelons which were at Camp Smith. (6) ~7I1achineGun and Scout Car Platoons. In' addition to machine gun firing and other weapons' practice, machine gun platoons and the newly-organized scout car platoons received other types of machine gun training and participated in riot control problems, and scout car platoons received training in driving. (7) Medical Department Detachments. Medical detachments received training in their normal duties, provided emergency medical service on the target ranges, and participated in the tactical problems. The proper tactical employment of these detachments was stressed. (8) Signal Communications Training. Instruction in signal communication, including participation in command post exercises and (wherever practicable) in tactical problems, was given the 1st Signal Company, NYG, and brigade, regimental and separate battalion communications sections. (9) Intelligence - Specialists. Brigade, regimental and lower-unit intelligence officers were given special instructions in their duties. (10) Combined Field Exercises. In addition to the training referred to in Par. 7.c. (7), (8) and (9), above, a combined field exercise was conducted, which included the installation of signal communications and medical facilities in an assumed defensive position, and reconnaissance of this position by unit intelligence officers. . (11) Chemical Training. Chemical training was given all chemical officers, squads and detachments, and each battalion, as a unit, was passed through a gassed area. (12) Other Types of Training. Instruction in company paper work and administration was given to sergeants major, 1st sergeants and company clerks. A three-day course in mess management was conducted for one supply officer and one medical officer per regiment and Separate Battalion, and all mess officers, mess sergeants and available cooks. Sand table instruction was given one officer and one noncommissioned officer per company. Personnel of truck companies attended a motor transport school. R'egimental and Separate Battalion engineer detachments received practical training in preparation for engineer demonstrations. Organizations received training in extended order, scouting, patrolling and shelter tent pitching, and participated in parades, guard mounting, reviews, interior guard duty, and muster and inspection including display of equipment).

(1) Because of extreme weather conditions which stalled traffic in Buffalo, at 1530 on 17 December 1945, the Governor, pursuant to a request from the Mayor of Buffalo, directed the Commanding General, New York (State) Guard, to mobilize and call into active service for three days, or such longer period as might be necessary, eight officers and fifty enlisted men, equipped with motor transportation, of Headquarters 4th Brigade; Scout Car Platoon, 4th Brigade, and 4th Truck Company, for the purpose of aiding civil authorities of Buffalo in clearing the streets to traffic; these services to be rendered without expense to the State, as the City of Buffalo had agreed to bear all expenses. (2) Eight officers and forty-eight enlisted men, equipped with motor vehicles, were employed on this duty from 1600 on 17 December to 2400 on 20 December 1945, the ComJ;nanding General, .New York (State) Guard, having authoNzed an extension of time to 2400 on 20 December. rrhe work was accomplished with great success, and received much favorable comment from the citizens . of Buffalo. \ (3) See Appendix No. 10. 9. Schools a. The school system of the New York (State) Guard includes officers', officer candidates', noncommissioned officers' and specialist schools for communications personnel, for mess sergeants and cooks, for engineer personnel, for supply officers and for motor mechanics and drivers. In addition, schools were conducted in the Greater New York area as follows: message center procedure, engineer offieel's', and intelligence personnel, by officers from these Headquartel's; bayonet, by personnel from Second Service Command, A.8.F. The course of instruction and the system follow tho'se of the Army of the United States insofar as they are applicable to the' training mission and to the operations of the Guard. This school system has proved its worth in helping to keep the personnel abreast of current military teachings, in furnishing a source of officer material, and in the training of necessary specialists. b. The Second Service Command State Guard School at Hackettstown, N. J., offered two courses-a field officers' course in command and staff procedure, ~nd a company officers' and noncommissioned officers' course in minor tactics, leadership, and organization and control of troops, providing our troops an opportunity for specialized training in tactics and operations pertinent and peculiar to the missions of the Guard. The School was moved to Ft. Dix, N. J., this Fall, opening 4 November; with the same

courses. being carried on. These courses are of one week's (calendar) duration. The School also offers a special two-day week-end course attended by officers and noncommissioned officers,' without expense to'the State of New York. See Appendix No.7. 10. Medical Care and Sanitation The sick record of the field training period is favorable. Cases requiring hospitalization were sent to Peekskill Hospital, as in previous years. There was one death at Camp. This was not primarily due to accident, but to an existing physical condition of the individual prior to enlistment. All minor cases of illness or injury were cared for at regimental infirmaries. See Appendix No. 6 for statistical data. 11. Inspections During the field training period at Camp Smith, inspectors detailed by the Commanding General, 'Secortd Service Command, inspected our regiments and separate units. Reports of these inspections indicated a uniformly satisfactory condition. Pursuant to War Department orders, the annual Federal inspections of units were held during the period 2 January 1945 to 31 l\1arch 1945. During the period 2 January 1945 to 15 :May 1945 State armory inspections were held. In the metropolitan 'area of the City of New York the inspecting officers were staff officers of New York (State) Guard Headquarters, who also inspected the upstate brigade headquarters and headquarters companies. Other upstate units were inspected by staff officers of the respective brigades. Inspections at irregular and unscheduled intervals were made by battalion, regimental and brigade commanders in conformity with directives from these Headquarters. 12. Arms and E q1Lipment , During the year arms and equipment were received to reduce or eliminate deficiencies that existed. One thousand, seven hundred and six (1,706) revolvers, caI. .45, were received and issued. The complete complement of 20 scout cars were received and issued at the rate of 4 to each of the scout car platoons. Twenty (20) Browning air-cooled machine guns were received, so that the scout car platoons could return to the regiments the machine guns they had borrowed. Two hundred and seventy-six (276) "walkietalkies" (SCR 511) and other items of signal equipment were received and issued to units throughout the Guard. The 100 Ford trucks, l1h-ton, were returned to the Federal government and a like number of Chevrolets received in plftce thereof. The Chevrolets were turned in, and in their place 109 22-ton trucks and 24 2-ton trailers were obtained. Other items received in whole or part during the year were 22 ambulances, 240 bicycles, 68 motorcycles and 81 "jeeps." Helmets, M-1,' were received, and the oldmodel helmets were turned in to the Federal government. The

Guard is equipped with rifles and bayonets. More have been issued to the stronger regiments than to those low in strength. Few shotguns remain on hand. More caI. .22 rifles have been received and issued. The State purchased some engineer and pioneer equipment for the regiments. There has been a general improvement in the situation with reference to arms, uniforms, individual equipment, .signal equipment, medical equipment and all items of supply, so that pressing needs do not now exist. Due to Federal free issues, the State is not required to make extensive purchases.

13. Ammunition
The Federal allowance of training ammunition per State Guardsman was: 200 rds. c.aI. .22; 100 rds. caI. .30; 50 rds. caI. .30, blank; 50 rds. caI. .45, for submachine guns; 100 rds. caI. .45 per revolver; 1,800 rds. caI. ..22 per machine gun trainer, and 800 rds. caI. .30 per machine gun. This allowed well-balanced practice courses and record courses during, the .field training, as well as considerable firing at ho:r;nestations. There is great interest in target practice in the Guard, and this, combined with the amount of ammunition available, produced gratifying results. The Federal allowance of chemical ammunition allowed extensive and valuable training. There is a Federal allowance of emergency ammunition of 200 rounds cal. .45 per issued submachine gun; 40 rds. caI. .30 per issued rifle; 200 rds. caI. .30 per issued machine gun, and 300 per state of grenades, hand, tear, CN-N7. This ammunition is kept in the armories, separate from the training ammunition, ready for any emergency that may arise. The State purchases some (but not great) quantities of ammunition.

14. Permanent Plant

New York (State) Guard Headquarters continues to occupy the same officespace at 80 Centre Street, New York 13, N. Y.

Camp Smith. With the aid of Federal funds improvements, repairs and maintenance were effected at Camp Smith as follows: The floors of Truck Sheds Nos. 71, 72, 73, 74 and 75 were hardsurfaced and some maintenance work was done on the sheds. The following roads were hard-surfaced: The McCoy Road from present end of concrete strip (Superintendent's house) to the pistol range target house; from RJ 10 to and along front of Truck Sheds Nos. 75-71; Valley Road from junction near swimming pool to vicinity of Range No.3. . Repairs to Pistol Range No. 6 and other range repairs. Installation of dispatchers' offices, spare parts rooms and latrine at the truck sheds and some necessary repairs oh the sheds. Installation of some plastic seats in the latrines and some necessary repairs to the latrines. Painting of mess halls. Installation of bayonet runs. Some of the above projects will be completed in the Spring.

The State furnished funds for the repair of roads not used by Federal troops and for other necessary repairs and maintenance for which Federal funds were not available. It also assisted in the maintenance of roads used jointly by Federal and State forces. Walk-in ice-boxes were installed in Buildings Nos. 7, 54, 61 and 77. This was a step taken in the interests of economy, while at the same time it increased the efficiency of the units operating in those Buildings. Armories. The armories throughout the State have been maintained at a minimum of expense and without major modifications or improvements. A recent survey shows that almost all of them are lacking in one or more particulars for even such simple organizations as are found in the State Guard, such as insufficient storage and warehouse space, office space, locker space, drill floor space, recreational facilities and safety features. Many of the armories, such as the older ones that have been used hard for so many years, are falling into a state of disrepair. The coming reactivation of the National Guard, with its great quantities of modern. equipment, will call for a comprehensive program of enlargement and improvement-not only in respect to the features referred to above, but in better training facilities as well. Some-or possibly manynew armories will be required. The State has no facilities whatever for any aircraft units that may be assigned. During the year facilities for bayonet training were established in armories at Federal expense, so that this valuable form of training could be carried on during the winter months as well as at Camp Smith. Plans and studies are now being made as to requirements for armories for ultimate re-estahlishment of the New York National Guard. Inasmuch as definite units have not been assigned to the State, these plans and studies will be of a fluctuating character until definite assignments are made by the War Department and accepted by the State. 15. New York State Guard Emergency Plan a. The New York (State) Guard Emergency Plan, Field Order No.1 (with Annexes), which became effective on 15 June 1944, was tested practically during the transportation emergency (30 January to 10 February 1945) and was tested theoretically during numerous command post exercises during the current year. These tests proved conclusively that the Plan and its annexes are practicable, workable, and sound in every respect. Certain changes in the Plan and in some annexes were made during the current year. They were made for purposes of clarification or amplification, and do not alter the basic plan in any way. b. In this connection, reference is made to the current agreement between the Commanding General, New York (State) Guard, and the Commanding General, Second Service Command, approved by your Excellency, which has for its purpose the planning and execution of combined operations of Federal and State military forces in case of war or domestic emergencies. This agreement would

48

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

normally terminate on 1 January 1946. However, its renewal and extension are contemplated, subject to the approval of your Excellency, and we are awaiting advice from the Commanding General, Second Service Command, with reference to such renewal.

16. Administration
Conferences were held by the Commanding General on matters of importance to the New York (State) Guard, as follows: 3 March 1945-Brigade and regimental commanders-Discussion of plans for field training. 20 April 1945~Brigade and regimental commanders-Discussion of field- training plans and results of operations during transportation emergency. 15 September 1945-Brigade and regimental commanders-Plans for Governor's review. 26 October 1945-Brigade commanders-Preliminary plans for reorganization of the N. Y. (State) Guard. 14 December 1945-Brigade and regimental commandersInitial State Guard reorganization plans and personnel plans. On the last training day of each period of field training a conference was held with brigade, regimental and separate unit commanders of units undergoing field training, to discuss training and instruction given and to consider recommendations for changes and improvements in such training and administration thereof. State and Federal property is inspected annually at State armory inspection, based upon semi-annual settlement accounts with the State Quartermaster. Reports of inspection were generally satisfactory.

17. Recommendations
That the Adjutant General of the State detail a board to make a comprehensive study, together with recommendations, concerning repair and modification of present armories, the building of new armories, the acquisition of hangars and airport facilities for aviation units, and the acquisition or improvement of "training areas necessary for the armory training program.

18. Conclusions
The training and accomplishments of-the New York Guard during the past year indicate a state of readiness to perform any civil disaster or disorder mission in a manner which should reflect credit upon themselves and the State. Both officers and enlisted men are deeply conscious of the sovereignty of the State, as well as their purpose in the protection and guaranty necessary' to the preservation of such sovereignty. May I express for myself and the officers and enlisted men of the New York (State) Guard my sincere appreciation of your sympathetic understanding, cooperation, assistance and confidence.

Subject: Report of Operations of New York Guard during TransportationEmergency, 30 January to 10 February 1945 To: The Acl.j~ttant General, Albany, New York 1. Declaration of Emergency,. 30 January 1945. At 1500, 30 .J alIUary 1945, Mr. Paul Lockwood, Executive Secretary to the . Governor of the State of New York, telephoned Lt. General Hugh A. Drum, commanding the New York Guard, from Albany, and informed him that because of extraordinarily severe snow storms and freezing weather conditions, jeopardizing the transportation of food and fuel, and due to manpower shortage, the Governor had declared the existence of an emergency, appointing Mr. Charles H. 'Sells Emergency Director of Transportation and Supplies, and directing that Lt. General Drum alert the New York Guard "in preparation for such action as may be required of it." , 2. a. In compliance with the verbal instructions of the Governor and prior to receipt of the written proclamation and order, General Drum immediately issued warning orders alerting all units of the N.Y.G. in accordance with the verbal orders of the Governor. In alerting the Guard, the Commanding General made use of "New York State Emergency Plan, Field Order No.1," designed to meet such emergency operations involving the Guard, such as disaster missions in aid of civil authority. The effectiveness of this Plan is further discussed in summation. b. rfhe critical area involved was that of Central and Western New York State, covered by the 3rd and 4th Brigade Operational Districts, as assigned in Field Order No.1. The Commanding Generar therefore alerted these Brigades in the priority herein outlined. ' (1) Brigadier General Edwin G. Ziegler, 4th Brigade. General Drum telephoned General Ziegler at 1530. (2) Colonel John J. Conners, Executive Officer, 3rd Brigade. General Drum directed Colonel Conners to act in his name in absence of Brigadier General Kearney, until General Kearney reported to .Albany. Telephoned at 1537. (3) Brigade Commander, 1st Brigade, by telephone at 1620. (4) Brigadier General Emil M. Podeyn, 5th Brigade, and temporarily commanding the 2nd Brigade. General Drum requested General Podeyn to report in person, which he did at 1400.

At 1700, in continuity of procedure outlined in the New York State Emergency Plan, Field Order No.1, telegrams in confirmation of Alert Orders were sent to all Brigade, Regimental and Separate Battalion Commanders and to the Commanding Officers of Headquarters Company and the 1st Signal Company, N.Y.G., informing them of the situation and further directed them to be ready for immediate mobilization, prepare for field service, and to maintain direct contact with civil authorities to insure a thorough estimate of the situation in their respective operational districts. e. At 2215, Mr. Sells, Emergency Director of Transportation and Supplies, telephoned General Drum and advised that he . required 1200 men for snow removal work and about 50 men as truck drivers in the General area of 'Albany, Utica, Selkirk, Syracuse and Buffalo. General Drum advised Mr. Sells of the requirements necessary to mobilization of the Guard before such assistance could be rendered, and further explained that such mobilization would have to be accomplished by organization-the Company being the basic _organizational unit for mobilization. /. On 31 January at 0800, the Commanding General directed that an estimate of the. situation in their respective operational districts be obtained from the Brigade and Regimental Commanders of the 3rd and 4th Brigades, in preparation for necessity of possible mobilization. g. At 1045, the Commanding General again talked with Mr. Lockwood by telephone, giving him his estimate based upon reportsof his subordinates, received from General Ziegler and other commanders actually on-the-ground in the areas concerned. 3.

(See Enclosure No.2) d.

6. Headquarters

Representatives

in the Field

a. Colonel John W. Foos, Asst. G-3 Hq NYG, as representative of Headquarters New York Guard, from 1 to 7 February, visited and consulted brigade and regimental commanders at their headquarters, observed units at work, checked on the health, shelter, messing and supply arrangements and morale of troops in the field, offered the assistance of Headqvar,ters New York Guard where needed, and maintained contact with the Emergency Director and with Headquarters NYG. b. Lt. Colonel Edward Bowditch, Asst. G-l, Headquarters NYG, was Liaison Officer from Headquarters NYG, in the office of the Emergency Director of Transportation and Supplies from 2 to 11 February. All requests for work to be performed by the New York Guard were made to Mr. Sells, by the railroads. Requests which were approved by Mr. Sells were then transmitted to the Commanding General of the brigade concerned, stating the number of men required for work and where they were to report. When the

REPORT

COMMANDING

61

, work of any detail had been completed, word to that effect was sent to the brigade commander concerned by the Emergency Director of Transportation and Supplies. Colonel Bowditch maintained close contact with Mr. Sells and the brigade commanders and kept Headqu~rters N ew York Guard informed of the situation. 7. Federal Inspections At 1100 on February 1, Colonal Winslow brought up the ques- . tion of Federal inspections via telephone to the Commanding General. General Drum advised that he would take care of this matter with Headquarters Second Service Command. On.} February, the Commanding General Second Service Command authorized District Commanders ASF, to make such changes in dates and in kind of Federal Inspections of State Guard units on active duty as might be desirable because of existing service conditions. Unit commanders concerned were informed of this matter and advised by letter and by telegram on 1 February to contact the respective District Commanders ASF, if changes were desired.

8. Jien Employed in Essential Industry a. Mr. Sells reports on 1 February that Mrs. Anna Rosenberg,
Regional Director, War Manpower Commission, had complained that men employed in essential industries had been mobilized and ordered to active service. This complaint was apparently founded on incorrect information and in light of investigation is without basis in fact. The investigation revealed that Colonel Wegner, in command of the troops in Rochester Area, which contained the essential industries allegedly affected by mobilization of Guard personnel, had, at the outset, conferred with Colonel Mosier of the Ordnance Office and that as a result of their mutual understanding and agreement, a policy had been worked out and was even then in effect whereby all men certified as essential by Colonel Mosier were immediately released by Colonel Wegner. Investigation further disclosed complete accord with Colonel Mosier and evidenced no complaints at any time from Colonel Mosier, who was th e officer in charge. (See Enclosure No.6) b. Anticipating the possibility of this type of situation in advance, the Commander General provided for same in his Field Order No. 2 to the troops concerned. Paragraph 2 c. of Field Order No.2 dated 31 January 1945, which ordered the troops to active duty reads: "Upon completion of mobilization, regimental commanders in emergency cases are authorized to excuse men already employed in transportation associated with the present emergency and where especially required in war industries." Subsequently, all units were directed by telegram to check and excuse these men.

9. Length of Period oJ Active Service

Paragraph 3 (x) (3), Field Order No.2, Hq NYG, directed units on active service to base their plans on a five-day period of

active duty. Based upon the situation in Western New York as, it existed on 2 February, the Commanding General 4th Brigade and regimental and truck company commanders in that brigade were directed by letter dated 2 February to base their plans on an eight- , . day period of active duty.

10. Demobilization Instructions

Instructions concerning the procedure to be followed during demobilization were published on 3 February and transmitted on that date by Special Delivery mail and by telegrams to units of and 3rd and 4th Brigades. In order to provide for an orderly and progressive demobilization, including preparation of reports, settling of accounts and proper care of equipment and property, each unit commander was directed to report by telegraph to Headquarters New York Guard, the exact date and hour of arrival at its home station upon completion of the work assigned, and to remain at its' armory for twenty-four (24) hours, at the end of which period, all personnel except the commanding officer and certain other designated officers and enlisted men would be demobilized. At the end of another twenty-four (24) hour period, all remaining personnel except" Agent Officers" designated by the State Quartermaster would be demobilized. The latter would be relieved from active duty at the end of an additional period of fortyeight (48) hours. (See Enclosure No.7) 11. Demobilization

b. During the period of 6-10 February, six (6) officers of Hq NYG were relieved from active service. c. Based on information received from Mr. Sells on 10 February that no more work would be required by a New York Guard unit after 1800 on that date, telegrams were sent to brigade, regimental and truck company commanders, 3rd and 4th Brigades, declaring that the emergency requiring mobilization of the New York Guard units had ended, and directing brigade commanders to issue the necessary demobilization orders as provided by the demobilization instructions issued on 3 February, and that all personnel, with certain exceptions covered by demobilization instructions, be demobilized not later than 1800 11 February. These telegrams also confirmed the demobilization of all units which had been demobilized or were in process of demobilizing) and ended the alert status of all units, effective at 1800, 11 February., These orders also were transmitted to the Commanding Generals, 3rd and 4th Brigades, by telephone, by the Commanding General, NYG. They later were amended by telephone request of the Commanding General, 4th Brigade, authorizing the delay in the demobilization of elements of the 4th Truck Company stationed at Buffalo, until 1800, 12 February. d. Telegrams were sent on 10 February to brigade, regimental and separate battalion and truck company commanders, 1st, 2nd and 5th Brigades, and the commanding officer, 1st Signal Company, ending the alert status of these units at 1800, 11 February. e.

14. Supply. a. Troops were supplied in accordance with the prOVISIOns f o Administrative Order No.1 of Field Order No.1, Hq NYG, 15 May 1944. b. Immediately upon mobilization, the State Quartermaster telegraphed to Agent Officers authorizing them to act. c. Troops were messed and sheltered in armories. C and K rations in armories were made available but were not always used. Troops near Federal Commissaries drew rations thereat. Commissaries used were Albany, Rhoades General Ho-spital at Utica, Rome Army Air Base, Syracuse Army Air Base and Fort Niagara. Troops that were too distant from Army commissaries, such as those at Buffalo and Rochester, obtained food supplies by local purchase. Two companies drew from State Institutions. Reports indicate that ration supplies were ample and that food was wellprepared. d. On the whole, items of supply in the hands of troops were ample for their needs. Immediately upon mobilization, the State Quartermaster sent reserve equipment to mobilized troops. This equipment consisted of comforters, overshoes, winter gloves, woolen socks, and winter caps. Blankets, mattresses and cots were obtaIned from Fort Niagara; and, blankets and mattresses from Pine Camp. Units at Rochester obtained some cots from the Navy. Arrangements were made with the Special Services Officer, Second Service Command, for regimental exchanges of the State Guard to purchase cigarettes from Army Exchanges at the localities where commissaries were drawn for resale to the troops on active duty. 15. Health Reports indicate that the health of the troops on active service was excellent, there having been but few illnesses and minor accidents. 16. Morale The morale of the troops on active service was very high. The. troops were in the best of spirits and performed their work very. efficiently. In some instances, troops which had been alerted but not mobilized were anxious for active service and inquired as to when'they might be called out. 17. Governor's Radio Address Governor Dewey delivered an address on 9 February which was broadcast over a State-wide hook-up by the National Broadcasting Company. This address included the statement: "I wish to commend every Guardsman who was called out and to express to him the gratitude of the State." An extract from the address was published by Headquarters New York Guard in a Circular Letter addressed to brigade, regimental and separate unit commanders, NYG, on 9 February. (See Enclosure No. 11)

18. Oommendations a. On 19 February, the GoverNor sent individual commendations to all units which had been engaged in the work of the emergency. A copy of the commendation to the Commanding General and his Staff is attached. (See Enclosure No. 12) b. The Commanding General sent a telegram on 12 February to brigade and regimental commanders, 3rd and 4th Brigades, as follows: "MAY I COMMEND YOU, AND THROUGH YOU, ALL OFFICERS AND MEN OF YOUR COMMAND FOR THE VERY FINE WORK PERFORMED FOR THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE EMERGENCY PROCLAIlVI:ED BY OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. DRUM, LT. GENERAL, COMMANDING." 19. General Oomment

a. The service rendered by the N ewYork Guard during the emergency not only was of great value to the people of the State of New York and to the railroads but also to members of the New York Guard. I t increased their interest in being members of the Guard because it served to show them practically a reason for the existence of such a force. It provided valuable field training experience for all concerned, particularly in command, staff and supply functions. Also, it p:eovided valuable publicity for the New York Guard in that it brought to the attention of many people who previously had little, if any, knowledge of the existence and missions of the Guard, the fact that the State of New York has at its command a trained, military force which is available to aid the people of the State in any emergency. b. Throughout the period of mobilization the "New York State Emergency Plan, Field Order No.1, dated 15 May 1944," was the basis of action for subsequent orders and instructions. Because of standardization and advanced planning, as prescribed in Field Order No.1, much of the administrative detail, from the alerting of a command down to its actually taking the field, was simplified. This was especially effective because of the standard and coordinated instructions governing the alerting, mobilizing, housing, rationing, messing, clothing and transportation of the command. The emergency proved to be an excellent test of our Emergency Plans and while the operation brought to light certain minor changes necessary of adoption, it nevertheless proved basically sound and demonstrated the value of previous instruction and training based thereon by brigades and regiments of the New York Guard.

PROCLAMATION S'l'ATE 0]<' NEW YORK-ExECUTIVE CHAMBER ALBANY WHEREAS,the transportation and supply of food and fuel necessary for the maintenance of life and health throughout the State of New York is severely jeopardized by extraordinary weather conditions superimposed upon already strained conditions due to the demands of the war, and WHEREAS,there is a grave shortage of coal throughout the State. Supplies are fast dwindling to the point where a number of small communities are entirely without coal and many communities have on hand only sufficient coal to meet requirements for periods ranging between one day and one week. Transportation of coal within specific communities is so disrupted that hundreds of households are without fuel. Where supplies exist in central storage locations, difficulties of transportation and manpower prohibit any definite assilrance of deliveries where most needed. Local officials in the various communities of the State are cooperating with the local committees of the Solid Fuels Administration for War, in order to handle the critical cases, yet conditions beyond their control may create further emergencies, particularly if transportation and weather conditions do not improve. War production in the industrial plants of the State is continuing unabated but may be jeopardized if the emergency continues. The ration of coal allowed to householders is only 871;2% of the amount allowed last winter, with a possibility of further curtailment. Yet weather conditions this winter have been considerably more severe in New York State. Supplies of oil and gasoline are in a critical condition in many communities of the State and transportation and weather conditions are cutting down on deliveries. At the same time the severely low temperatures have resulted in an increased consumption. No ready solution appears available to meet the problem of dwindling supplies of oil and gasoline, and, in fact, this phase of the emergency threatens to become worse rather than better, and

WHEREAS, gg and milk production is seriously threatened because e of a growing shortage of feed for cattle and poultry, resulting in a menace to health, Manufacturers of dairy and poultry feed in New York Sta'te have lost heavily in production since the middle of last December when storms and rail traffic congestion blocked the flow of feeds from their mills to country points. Today they are operating at close to normal. A spot survey of 74 country dealers shows that 52 of them are down to less than a two-day supply of dairy feed for their farmer patrons, with 19 of these 52 entirely out of manufactured dairy feed; 40 of tke 74 are down to less than a two-day supply of poultry feed'with 14 of these 40 completely out. Thirty per cent of 1000 farmers surveyed in the last two days are down to less than a 3-day supply of feed-with an additional forty-five per cent with a 5-day supply or less. Hens and cows cannot maintain production of eggs and milk without full and balanced feed. Once production is cut, it is impossible to recover fully and the supply of milk, butter, eggs and poultry for the people of the State is in dange:r:, and WHEREAS,despite extraordinary efforts by the railroads, weather conditions and shortage of manpower have caused serious tie-ups in the last few days. Particularly affected are the railroads in tbe western part of the State. Some of the railroads ha'1e made urgent pleas for manpow~er assistance both to clear snow from the rightsof-way and to help operate rolling stock, and WHEREAS,requests have been made by municipal officials for additional manpower to help in the delivery of coal to homes that are out of coal, and WHEREAS, hroughont much of the State there has been an extraort dinary fall of snow ranging from 8 to 12 feet, which has left most of the cities, railroad yards and rights of way in varying degrees of partial or complete paralysis. In the last twenty-four hours three more inchm; of 8nm".' feU in the western and central parts of the State and high wind eonditiolls in many parts of the State are piling up high snow drifts that are an impediment to traffic. In the delivery of food, interference was reported in four counties and in the delivery of milk in eleven counties. Extreme conditions of difficulty were reported in seven counties and in one county, milk is being dumped because of impossible delivery conditions. In transportation to war plants, interference was reported in nine counties and difficult conditions were reported in three counties. Now, therefore, I, Thomas E.

CHAMBER

To: From:

31 January 1945 All Officers and Members of Units of the New York Guard Activa:ted During the Present Emergency: The Governor of the State of New York.

Yesterday, I proclaimed an emergency throughout the State of New York caused by the shortage of coal and food and other supplies essential to the people of the State and to the continuance of their contribution to the war effort. In many cities of the State, commercial buildings, and even schools, are closed because of a shortage of coal. Many more homes will be without heat. Lack of food for cattle and poultry will violently disrupt the production of milk and eggs. More commercial and industrial places will be closed; further disrupting production of all kinds of goods, and if the crisis should continue, war production and transportation will be gravely impaired. One of the great causes of the shortages is the inability to transport essential commodities over the railroad lines of this State and unless that movement is immediately facilitated, the present emergency will become much worse.

REPORT

OF THE COMMANDING

GENERAL

While on active service, you will be paid the Regular Army Pay of United States soldier. In addition, you will be permitted to receive the prevailing rate of wages from the railroad and other corporations who will be assisted by your efforts, but this compensation will in no way measure the great value of the service that you will be rendering to the people of the State of New York. The New York Guard, one of the great agencies of the State, is now called upon to perform a great mission. In the performance of this mission its members will be rendering a vital service to our people at home and to our fighting men abroad. The mission is to assist, with their mobile equipment and their manpower, in the opening of railroad transportation, so that the vitally needed supplies will move to their destination. I know that the units that have been activated will perform their duties in accordance with the fine tradition of the service and of the State of New York. (Signed) THOMAS E. DE\VEY,

The subject of the Governor's address was the transportation, food and fuel emergency, then at its height, which was caused by heavy snows, wind and sub-zero weather throughout the State of New York. The Governor's address contained a very striking, commendatory reference to. the work of the State Guard; as follows: "UNITS OF 'CHE STATE GUARD vVERE MOBILIZED AND MORE THAN 2,500 GUARDSMEN HAVE BEEN AT WORK CLEARING FROZEN FREIGHT YARDS AND FIGlrrING SNOvV AND ICE ON THE 7 MAJOR RAILROAD SYSTEMS vVHICH OPERATE IN OUR STATE.

IT IS MIGHTY HARD WORK FIGHTING SNOW AND ICE AND I 'VISH TO COMMEND EVERY GUARDSMAN WHO WAS CALLED OUT AND EXPRESS TO HIM THE GRATITUDE OF THE STATE." 3. The foregoing quotation from the Governor's address will be brought to the attention of all officers and men of the Guard.

"The urgency of the situation demanded the mobilization of Headquarters and the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the New York Guard, to act in aid of and in cooperation with the Emergency Director of Transportation and Supplies. Notwithstanding the extremely severe weather conditions, the mobilization was speedily and efficiently accomplished. Officers and men cheerfully responded to assigned missions with a high spirit of cooperation and service and deserve this commendation from me. The success of this mission is an excellent example of the power of organization, efficiency and careful planning. This accomplishment is a splendid tribute to you as Commanding General, and to the officers and men of your command. They have rendered valuable and efficient service to the State of New York in its sovereign war effort by facilitating the movement and distribution of vital supplies under trying conditions. The people of the State are appreciative of the fine results achieved by them.

6. Plan for Utilizing Personnel w'ith Previous Federal Service a. The War Department's approved policy statements with
respect to strength, composition and organization of the future National Guard provide as their objective the maintenance of units at full war strength in officers and warrant officers and 80% of full war strength in enlisted personnel. I t is most essential, therefore, that desirable personnel of the National Guard and other components of the Federal armed forces be obtained for utilization with the State Guard as a basis for the re-establisment of the National Guard. In order to advance our plans for compliance with the proposed objective of the War Department and at the same time to continue the State mission of insuring efficient State armed forces at all times, it is imperative that, under authority of Article II A, Sect. 40, Military Law of the State of New York, desirable officers, warr~mt officers and noncommissioned officers and other enlisted men released from active Federal duty be integrated with the New York (State) Guard, so that both groups may ultimately become the New York National Guard. (See letter, these Headquarters, on this subject: 10 August 1945; File CFDL 370.01.) b. In order to accomplish this objective, the following plan is adopted:

(1) General
Every effort should be made to encourage desirable personnel who have had Federal service to associate themselves with the New York (State) Guard; officers and warrant officers by attachment or assignment to, and noncommissioned officers and other enlisted men by enlistment in, the New York (State) Guard. The basic considerations are as follows: (a) To provide, as soon as possible, a nucleus of officers, warrant officers and noncommissioned officers and other enlisted men in each regiment and unit organization to assist in meeting the anticipated increased requirements of the post-war National Guard. (b) To encourage this personnel to associate themselves with the State military service in advance of definite directives for postwar readjustment, and thereby prevent the loss of such qualified personnel which may result if so delayed. (c) By gradual execution, to enhance the groundwork, at least for the personnel phase of readjustment and reorganization, in order to be prepared in advance for the multiple problems of such re-establishment of the New York National Gua"rd. (d) To overcome the obstacles created by disintegration of organizations of the New York National Guard presently on active duty in the AUS, by organizing. and assigning this returning personnel tq duty wherever possible in their successor organizations in the New York (State) Guard, which will eventually be transformed into associated traditional units of the New York National Guard. (e) To absorb this personnel without disrupting units or displacing present officers and noncommissioned officer personnel of the New York (State) Guard.

GENERAL

(2) Officers and Warrant Officers (a) Commanders will solicit desirable officers and warrant officers as to their willingness to be assigned or attached to present units of the New York (State) Guard and to be carried on the rolls of the organizations concerned as extra officers or warrant officers. (b) Officers and warrant officers attached and assigned to duty with the New York (State) Guard will retain the grade held by them upon their release from the Federal armed forces. (3) Noncommissioned Officers and Other Enlisted Men (a). Unit commanders will encourage desirable noncommissioned officers and other enlisted men to enlist in the New York (State) Guard' upon separation from the Federal service. Approximately 1,000 of th~se men have already enlisted in the New York (State) Guard. It is believed that, with persuasion and inducement, more of these men will enlist. (b) Noncommissioned officers relieved from active service in the Federal armed forces who enlist in the New York (State) Guard will receive noncommissioned grades equal to the grades held by them at the time of their discharge from the Federal armed forces; other enlisted men will receive ratings equal to those held at the time of their discharge from the Federal armed forces. (c) As enlisted men will have to be encouraged to enlist and become organically a part of the present organizations of the New York (State) Guard, ultimately to be the New York National Guard, the question of selection will be governed by the desires of regimental and unit commanders, as well as those of the enlisted men concerned. Since the enlistment is entirely voluntary, each individual enlisted man concerned will become, of necessity, a member only of such organization as he may wish to join. (4) Control Command, supervision and control, and the authority necessary thereto, are vested in the 'Commanding General, N ew York (State) Gua:r:d and division, brigade, regimental and separate unit commanders of organizations to which these officers are assigned to duty and wherein such personnel is enlisted. (5) Privileges and Immunities Officers and warrant officers attached and assigned to duty, and men enlisted in the New York (State) Guard, will be subject to the Military Law and Regulations of the State of New York and the privileges, immunities, rights and duties prescribed thereunder. (6) Pay and Allowances . Officers and warrant officers attached and assigned to duty, and men enlisted in the New York (State) Guard, shall receive the same pay and allowances as officers and enlisted men of the New York (State) Guard, as provided in the Military Law and Regulations of the State of New York,

(7) Authorized

Allowances

The extra officers, warrant officers and noncommissioned officers authorized for service in this manner shall not exceed, without specific authority of these Headquarters, those indicated in Table of Organization No. 26, attached. 7. Circular No. 15, AGO NY, 16 August 1944, will be amended to include all General and Special Staff positions of the new New York (State) Guard divisions and brigades. As regards New York (State) Guard officers, all vacancies in new division and brigade headquarters may be filled by reassignment in present grade, or in case of original nomination for appointment in the New York (State) Guard to fill any such assignment, nominations may be made only in the lowest grade for the particular group-department, service, corps or arm. Subsequent promotion of this personnel will be made under provisions of amended Circular 15. The foregoing will in no way affect personnel covered by the remark on Tables of Organization which reads: "*Officers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers of higher grade than indicated for any positions in this table of organization may be assigned to fill such positions and may retain the grade held by them in the New York (State) Guard, or, in the case of personnel released from Federal service, officers and warrant officers will retain the grade held by them and non-commissioned officers will receive non-commissioned officer grades equal to those held by them at the time of such release. , 'Officers and warrant officers released from Federal service may be attached to, and non-commissioned officers may be enlisted in, New York (State) Guard units in excess of normal tables of organization as provided in Table of Organization No. 26." 8. In event of any conflict in provisions of this order with provisions of letter, these Headquarters, on this subject, dated 10 August 1945, file CFDL 370.01, the provisions of this order will apply.

COLONEL HENRY

Assistant Adjutant

E. SUAVET, Q.M.C., N.Y.N.G. General--State Quartermaster

The calendar year 1946 heralded few changes in the administrative and physical organization of the New York State Arsenal Procurement and issue of Federal and State property approxi-:mated the 1945 level. In view of the pending reorganization of the New York National Guard a United States Property and Disbursing Officer designated by the State was detailed by orders of the War Department to the State of New York on 8 November 1946. Federal property is loaned to the State of N ew York for the use of the National Guard in accordance with the National Defense Act. The State is charged with the responsibility for the proper use, protection and storage of all Federal property. The results of the 1945 study, by this office, of storage facilities which indicated a shortage of such facilities was confirmed upon publication of Tables of Organization and Tables of Equipment by the War Department. Many storage sites and structures owned by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation were inspected with a view to utilization for storage purposes, however, in every instance sale was made by the R.F.C. to priority claimants or other commercial concerns. Early in March 1946 a conference of the National Guard Bureau Staff and United States Property and Disbursing Officers was held at Washington, D. C., to review the plans for the Post-War National Guard; the matter of increased maintenance responsibilities of the various States due to vastly increased quantities of equipment was recognized. The War Department has prepared a maintenance program and has authorized the hire from War Department funds of unit and pool caretakers and the establishment of maintenance shops. However, since the responsibility for the property and the allocation of funds is a State function, the responsibility for field maintenance of National Guard equipment also falls to the State. Baseq. on a review of the proceedings of the aforementioned conference, and the receipt of directives in connection with future maintenance plans and activities, and as the troop allotment to New York includes a number of maintenance troops, a preliminary study was undertaken for the formation of a plan of at least three (3) shops, so located as to best serve the anticipated areas of troop concentrations of the Post-War National Guard units. The locations tentatively selectedror these shops were: 1. Metropolitan Area, New York City 2. Utica or vicinity 3. Buffalo or vicinity A portion of the personnel of the personnel of the maintenance units, whose home stations would be located at the shops, will be mechanics on full time status.

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

As studies of a maintenance plan progressed many conferences were held by representatives of the State Quartermaster and The Commanding General's staff in connection with the formation of a plan and the securing of proper facilities, including visits to proposed locations and further conferences and correspondence with Federal, State and municipal agencies. In June 1946,the establishment of a storage site and motor maintenance shop at Camp Shanks was recommended. Negotiations commenced in July for that portion of Camp Shanks which constituted the Third Echelon Shop and fifty-eight (58) warehouses. A War Department, "right of entry", issued by the No. Atlantic Division Engineer of New York, is now under study by the Budget Director's officeof the State. Upon approval of the terms of this "right ~f entry", a formal document will be negotiated and facilities for maintenance and repair will be established at Camp Shanks. With the reestablishment of the New York National Guard and the organization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps, detailed plans have been made by a Property Classification Board for the receipt, classification, disposition and storage of clothing and equipment now in the hands of 'organizations which will not be authorized for retention by those organizations. A Logistical Integration Plan has been evolved by this officein conjunction with The Commanding General, New York National Guard, contemplating the following: Equipment will be issued to the New York National Guard under the applicable War Department Tables of Organization and Equipment, modified in accordance with the availability of items and the training mission. In general, it is also contemplated that the following plan will govern the initial issue of equipment to units with percentages based on the authorized strength:
Item Clothing and Individual Equipment Percent of Issue No fixed percentage for initial issuewill be issued as . required. Individual Weapons (Rifles, Pistols, etc) , 50% Crew served Weapons (Machine Guns, Mortars, etc) 50% Organization Equipment (Signal, Engineer, Chemical, etc) .25% Trucks, Trailers, Artillery and Combat Vehicles, etc 25%

The above issue is intended to furnish the minimum equipment necessary for armory training purposes, and is based upon the storage capacities of the armories concerned. The balance of the organization equipment to be issued, including trucks, trailers, artillery and combat vehicles, will be 8tored locally in depots or at the field training camps. Additional equipment may be withdrawn from such storage if necessary for armory training. New York National Guard units will be equipped in the following manner: (a) By the transfer to them of equipment now in the hands of the New York Guard. The National Guard Bureau has

f"o

issued a list of items which may be so transferred. Further instructions upon what equipment to retain and disposition of equipment neither desired nor needed by the New York National Guard will be announced by the State Quartermaster. (b) By the issue of new or serviceable equipment received.by the State Quartermaster from federal depots.

World War Records

This Bureau processed New York State bonus claims for veterans of World War I which have been held in the suspended file due to the failure of the claimants to supply data necessary to approve or disapprove their claims. Three thousand four hundred eig-htyseven (3,487) such claims are now pending plus one thousand three hundred seventy-eight (1,378) applications returned for correction and never received back. In addition, many inquiries were received from governmental, civic and veteran agencies requesting verification that the bonus was paid to certain veterans. Over five hundred (500) similar requests were received from individual veterans. Since the last report over two hundred (200) veterans applied who would have been eligible to receive this bonus had they filed a formal application prior to 1 July 1932 which was the final date set by the Legislature.

Approximately seven hundred fifty (750) inquiries were received and answered during the past year in regard to the proposed bonus for World War II veterans. Bureau for the Relief of Sick and Disabled New York Veterans Case papers submitted by relief commissioners were checked and processed by the bureau, including vouchers for payment of relief awards, commissioner's necessary traveling expenses, and expenses incurred by the commissioners in the performance of their duties, such as stenographic and medical services. Book accounts of all monies appropriated for veterans relief and administration were kept by the bureau. In addition information pertaining to veterans relief was furnished to individuals, including commissioners and various organiaztions. Two hundred twenty (220) requests for relief were received during the year. Of these sixty-four (64) were from World War One veterans and the balance one hundred fifty-six (156) were from VV orId War Two veterans. These requests were forwarded to the relief commissioners concerned and seventy-seven (77) of this number qualified for payment and the balance for various reasons were rejected as not qualifying under the .law. During the year thirty-two (32) veterans who had received various sums of money in previous years were paid amounts which brought the totals of each to two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) which is the maximum authorized by law. Bureau of Files, Mail and Distribution 'fhis Bureau distributed sixty eight thousand (68,000) copies of General Orders, Bulletins and Circulars originating in the office of rrhe Adjutant General; forty-two thousand (42,000) copies of General Orders, Bulletins, Post Orders and Circulars originating at the office of the Commanding General New York Guard; eight hundred and forty-two (842) copies of War Department publications such as Army Regulations, Circulars, Field and Technical manuals; eight hundred thousand (800,000) forms rAceived from the War Department, National Guard Bureau and Navy Department for use of the New York Guard, the reconstituted New York National Guard and the Naval Militia.

War Records Bureau During the past year the War Records Bureau issued about 3,000 pieces of information in answer to queries from individuals, schools, colleges, historial associations, biographers, encyclopedists, etc. Such projects require much research, very often extending into hours and days to answer one request. Copies of Newspaper releases co~ering casualties in World War II continued to be sent to this officeby the Officeof War Information through the Bureau of Public Relations of the Army and the Officeof Public Relations of the Navy, until 19 March, 1946. These lists include copies of newspaper releases of liberated prisoners of war from German and Japanese camps. A pictorial history recorded by Replacement Command, AFWESP AC, of the American and Allied Personnel Recovered from Japanese Prisons was received 13 February, 1946. Innovating a practice heretofore unknown, The War Department ordered corps, divisional and regimental histories written in combat by participants. Where a substantial number of men from a given state served in the unit, The Adjutant General of such a state received a copy of the history. These histories are sturdily bound, illustrated, fully mapped, day-by-day narratives of campaigns-the soldier's own story in brief words, and will grow in value as years move on, forming an officialsource of World War II battle detail. Such histories have been received to date for the following units: V Corps; 87th Infantry Division; 34th Infantry Division; 40th Infantry Division; 44th Infantry Division; 91st Infantry Division; 71st Infantry Regiment; 304th Infantry Regiment; 101st Cavalry Group (Machanized); 156th Field Artillery Battalion. War Records Bureau is continually being asked for the records of the personnel of World War II. These have not as yet been received. The War Department has sent a list of dead and missing by county break-down and this is being accepted in cases where proof of death is sought During the months of October and November the War Department shipped to The Adjutant General National colors or standards, Organization standards, colors or guidons, representing New York State National Guard units which participated in the various theaters of World War II. These flags and guidons were unpacked, checked and stamped for identification and made ready to be carried out on the Capitol steps for presentation by The Adjutant General to the Governor of the State on Armistice Day. Banked on the steps of the State Capitol and each borne by a color bearer, the national colors and standards combined with the vivid hues of the organization colors, standards and guidons,-these silent monitors of New York State troops which served in World War II-made an impressive and unforgettable picture, and marked one more milestone in the brilliant military history of the Empire State. Following the presentation the flags were returned to the Flag Room and are temporarily stored in cases with World War I flags until proper space and cases can be procured so that they may be

displayed in a manner in keeping with their intimate association with New York State troops. Governor Dewey ordered the Capitol Building open to the public on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays for the summer months. This necessitated a detail on duty during the overtime hours, for the protection or the rare collection of flags and war trophies exhibited in the Flag Room of the War Records Bureau, second floor rotunda, State Capitol Building. The room was visited continually, not only on Sundays and holidays when the visitors reached a peak, on the Fourth of July, of about six hundred, but every 'day through the summer and until after Labor Day a continuous stream of visitors walked through the :B'lag Room. -It is not possible for the attendant to have all of these sign in the visitors' register but he usually succeds in getting about one-half of the sight-seers to register. The Civil War Battle flags evoke great interest bearing as they do the list of engagements of the regiment which each represents. It is an every-day sight to note visitors seeking out the World War or Spanish-American War flag under which they served and with even greater interest pointing out to children, the battered Civil War Flag under which a relative fought, and proudly reading over the engagements in which a given organization participated. While every item of the collection of battle relics and trophies elicits much interest, the great majority tarry longer and more reverently before the Abraham Lincoln Memorial case. The Civil War guns and munitions and the surgical instruments used in the Civil War incite much comment from the passerby. Several hours of observation divided over the summer months during the period of the opening of the Flag Room convinces that our wars, our participants in such wars and their intimate combat trophies are ever interesting to the public, especially young people and children who go through in large school groups conducted by teachers or very often in the company of parents. This function of the Flag Room establishes it as a spot for historic as well as patriotic educa. tion and even an education in Americanism, since the visitors number registrants not only from every part of the United States and Canada, but countries of. Europe and Asia. This gives rise to a forward look, to the time when the historic flags and trophies may he displayed in modern cases with an adequate lighting systeIn, and the Flag Room may then take its place as an adjunct to the educational facilities of the State. During the past year the Flag Room has received several exhibits from donors in various parts of the state.

The Commanding Officer,N.Y.N.lVI. 105 East 33rd Street, New York 16, N. Y.

24 December 1946

'Reactivation 1. Brigade Headquarters was reactivated 1 October 1946 in temporary quarters at the State Armory, 105 East 33rd Street, New York 16, New York. On that date Commodore John M. Gill, N. Y. N. M. was attached to Brigade Headquarters by Special Orders No. 205. 2. Pending reactivation of the Naval Militia as above, an office had been established and functioned with the assistance of Rear Admiral Leo W. Hesselman, N. Y. N. M. Retired, and a temporary Armorer under loan from the First Battalion, N. Y. N. M.; Rear Admiral Hesselman has been assisting with reactivation as a member of the Staff of The Adjutant General, SNY. 3. The former organizations of the Naval Militia have been reactivated as follows: Brigade Headquarters, N. Y. N. M 1 October 1946 First Battalion, N. Y. N. M 2 December 1946 Second Battalion, N. Y. N. M 1 October 1946 Third Battalion, N. Y. N. M 27 September 1946 Fourth Battalion, N. Y. N. M 27 September 1946 Ninth Battalion, N. Y. N. Moo ............ 20 November 1946 Thirteenth Division, N. Y. N.

M 27S,eptember 1946 At the present date only two units remain to be reactivated, the Twelfth Division at Dunkirk and the Thirty-second Division at Yonkers, both of which, it is expected, will be reactivated very soon after 1 January 1947. Strength 1. Officers have been nominated by the Unit Commanders to fill authorized complements. In most instances these Naval Reserve Officers are not yet commissioned in the Naval Militia, but are being ordered' to appear before Officers :Examining Boards as rapidly as such Boards can be convened. 2. The report of enlisted strength, 459 men as of 24 December 1946, includes personnel processed in accordance with the provisions of the Military Regulations, SNY. Reports from Com[39.]

GENERAL

manding Officers indicate that when the records of those applicants being processed have been completed, the strength will be approximately 1,000 men. It is expected that the strength will then be increased at a regular rate and, it is hoped, will reach pre-war strength within one year.

Armories
1. The Adjutant General, SNY, has returned to Naval Militia organizations all of the armory spaces in the State formerly occupied. by them, with the single exception of the Thirty-second Division at Yonkers, whose rented quarters had been released upon the unit's reporting into Federal active service. 2. (a) The NTS PRAIRIE STATE, tentatively accepted for use by thereactiviated First Battalion, had been in use from 1 July 1940 to 2 December 1946 by several U. S. Navy activities. Certain claims for restoration to its former condition by the U. S. Navy are now pending. (b) The Second Battalion Armory at 52nd Street, Brooklyn, had been in use by several U. S. Navy activities from May 1941 to 1 October 1946. On the latter date the U. S. Navy relinquished its interest. A great deal of work remains to be accomplished toward restoration of the armory to its former condition. In accordance with an agreement with the State of New York under which the Navy acquired use, a survey is now being made with a view toward submitting claims against the Navy for restoration. Pending the completion of these claims, reactivated Second Battalion is in occupation and is using such facilities as exist therein. (c) The Third Battalion Armory at Rochester, consisting of the Summerville Boat House and some space in the National Guard Armory, had been closed during the war period. The armory facilities now available are insufficient for this organization. It is intended to initiate steps toward the acquisition of a City-owned building adjoining the Boat House which will alleviate the condition to a large degree. I t is understood that the City of Rochester may be willing to grant its use at nominal terms. (d) The Fourth Battalion Armory at Whitestone had been in caretaker status during the war period. Except for use a few hours weekly by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, it remained closed until 15 June 1946 when the Sixteenth Division was reactivated. (e) Ninth Battalion Armory, Buffalo. The Boat House and other armory spaces had been closed and in caretaker status dur.;. ing the war period and are now in use by the reactivated organization. The facilities referred to are inadequate to the needs of the organization and additional space will have to be acquired. (f) Twelfth Division Armory, Dunkirk. Armory space in the fourth floor of the Masonic Temple Building, formerly occupied by this organization, had been in use during the war period by the State Guard, and is now being relinquished. It is expected that Company "H", 2nd Bn., 74th Regiment, New York Guard, still in possession, will vacate very soon after 1 January 1947. At this

REPORT OF THE NEW YORK NAVAL MILITIA

41

date a Headquarters office of this organization is being set up within the space. The above space is inadequate to the drilling and training needs of the organization and there is now under consideration by The Adjutant General some additional space on the third floor of the same building. (g) Thirteenth Division Armory, Watertown. Facilities formerly occupied by this organization, consisting of two buildings, grounds and docks at Sacketts Harbor were used during the war period by the U. S. Army. The above installations, and space formerly held in the State Armory at ",Vatertown, have now been returned. (h) Fifteenth Division Armory, Oswego. Facilities formerly occupied by this organization, consisting of buildings, grounds and docks were closed and in caretaker status during the war period and have now been returned. (i) Thirty-first Division Armory, New Rochelle. The State Armory at New Rochelle' assigned to this organization has been in caretaker status, although used for rentals during the war. It is now under occupancy by this organization and it is expected that Company "D", First Marine B'attalion will reoccupy the portion formerly allotted to it. (j) Thirty-second Division Armory, Yonkers. This organization has no suitable armory. It is at present using office space in the Post Office Building and some instruction space generously placed at its disposal in the Jewish Community Center and the Saunders Trade School. There is now under consideration by The Adjutant General a plan whereby a temporary armory will be constructed by the Navy on waterfront property leased to it by the State, which in turn will have been provided by the County of Westchester. (k) Thirty-third Division Armory, The armory assigned to this organization had been in use during the entire period of the national emergency and the war by the U. S. Navy as part of its Section Base and Frontier Base, On 27 September 1946 the armory was returned to State jurisdiction.

Training
1. There exists a great disparity between strength authorized under the Military Law and that provided for the expansion of the Naval Reserve in the State of New York. In accordance with the intent of the Military Law, the Naval Militia is moving as rapidly as possible toward complying with the training directives of the United States Naval Reserv~. .This will necessitate a great deal of adaptation of State Armory spaces to the accommodation of the specialized training equipment to be provided by the Navy. There is presently under consideration by The Adjutant General, SNY and the Commandant, Third Naval District an agreement under which the State facilities will be made available for use by those units in a dual N, Y, N. M.-U. S. N. R. status, and will also permit certain installation, alterations and additions toward improved training facilities by the Federal Government.

Marines 1. Prior to the declaration of the National Emergency, the Naval Militia included a Marine Battalion, with Companies stationed as follows: Company. "A" First Battalion Armory, NTS PRAIRIE STATE. Company" B " Second Battalion, Armory, Brooklyn, N. Y. Company "C" Thir~ Battalion Armory, Rochester, N. Y. Company "D" 31st Division Armory, New Rochelle, N.Y. The Marine Corps Reserve has approached Brigade Headquarters with regard to reactivation of Companies at New Rochelle and Rochester. Brigade Headquarters will recommend favorable action upon completion of a survey now being made to determine availability of space at Rochester. It is believed that a Company may be accommodated in the New Rochelle Armory immediately. Brigade Headquarters 1. Brigade Headquarters is still functioning in limited facilities made available in the 71st Regiment Armory, 105 East 33rd Street, New York, N. Y. An inadequate allotment of officespace has been tendered by the Department of Public Works in the State Office Building at 270 Broadway, New York, N. Y. The Commanding Officer has addressed to The Adjutant General a report of an inspection made of that space and a request for a more suitable allotment, together with a detailed description of the needs of the Brigade Headquarters. No report would be complete without expression of appreciation by the Commanding Officerto The Adjutant General and members of his Staff who have devoted much time and effort assisting with problems connected with reactivation of the Naval Militia.

HEADQUARTERS NEW YORK (STATE) NATIONAL GUARI 270 BROADWAY, NEW YORK7, N. Y. REctor 2-1845 31 December 1946 (State) Guard and

Gen 319.1 ('46) Subject: Annual Report, 1946, New York New York (State) National Guard

To: His Excellency, the Governor of the State of New York In accordance with the requirements of Par. 6, Regulations No~ 80, I have the honor to submit the following report for the calendar year 1946.

1.

General

The New York State Guard is completing its sixth year of service. The past year has been exceedingly important in the history of the Guard and in the task of planning and reorganizing for the re-establishment of the New York National Guard. The entire personnel has displayed a fine spirit of sacrifice, loyalty and devotion to State service in carrying on at considerable hardship after cessation of hostilities. 2,.

Strength

'fhe numerical strength of the New York Guard during the current year of 1946 ranged from a high of 18,006 in December 1945, to a low of 16,719 in April 1946-with an average of 17,274. (See Appendix No.1) A large percentage of the turnover is due to the calling into Federal service of members of the Guard between the ages of 18 to 29, though in comparison to the previous years' figures the number is considerably lower. Losses of personnel are shown in Appendix No. I-A, attached. There has been a marked increase in the number of returning veterans, but it is believed that this is the result of a greater number having been released from Federal service rather than a percentage increase over that of previous years. The present number of veterans of World War II is 1,500, as compared to approximately 1,000 reported in last year's Annual Report.

3. Attendance
Though the attendance at armory drills is not as high as desired, it is believed that this figure will improve, due to the enlistment of personnel with World War II experience. The attendance percentage for armory drills for the year was 78.4%, compared to 80.6% for the year 1945. (See Appendix No. 1.) Attendance at field training was 84.4%, compared to 81.6% for the year 1945. (See Appendix No.2.)

4. Brief History of Reorganization

(1) (a) On 30 March 1946, Lt. General Hugh A. Drum was designated by His Excellency, the Governor of the State of New York, to represent him in problems involved in the reorganization of the New York National Guard. (b) Ground Units. On 12 July 1946, there was submitted to this Headquarters by the Chief, National Guard Bureau, the formal allotment of National Guard troops, requesting acceptance by the State of New York. On 7 August 1946, this Headquarters addressed a letter to the Chief, National Guard Bureau, accepting for the Governor of the State of New York the units presented. These units were accepted in principle, contingent upon the following: 1. Federal aid would be forthcoming for the construction of additional armories or other suitable installations or facilities; 2. That, as previously expressed to the War Department, while the State of New York is anxious (and desires) to have the strength of its units reach 80% and even 100% of the applicable Tables of Organization, it is believed, however, that such strength cannot be attained unless some form of universal military training will insure an annual flow of recruits to the National Guard; 3. That the second infantry division to be allotted to the State ,be officially designated as the" 42d Division.' '* 4. That a Table of Organization be approved for the State Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment substantially in the form submitted. On 27 September 1946, this Headquarters formally accepted the allotment of Ground Force units (together with Air units), subject to the general statement of policies relating to the postwar New York National Guard. (c) General Orders No. 16, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, dated 29 November 1946, and Circular No.8, same Headquarters, dated 29 November 1946 (copies attached as Appendices Nos. 3 and 4), set in motion the process of reorganization by designation of units of Group No.1, as outlined in chart-"Plan for Re-establishment of the New York National Guard and Organgization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps," dated 15 November 1946. (Attached as Appendix No.5.) (d) Conferences have been held at this Headquarters attended by the division and brigade commanders and members of their Staffs, together with the personnel of the New York-New JerseyDelaware Military District. These conferences have been marked by a fine spirit of cooperation and the desire to get the job done as efficiently as possible in spite of the impossibility of long-range

planning with reference to manpower, facilities, clothing and equipment. (e) Air Units. On 9 February 1946, the National Guard Bureau allotted to the State of New York the 52d Wing, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, with its component parts. On 9 April 1946, this Headquarters addressed a letter to The Adjutant General of the State of New York, declaring the intention of the State to accept the Air units, on condition that the Federal government provide the necessary facilities and agree to bear its equitable share of maintenance. The difficulties of obtaining installations to house and service these units were outlined. On 9 July 1946, this Headquarters, in compliance with letter from the Chief, National Guard Bureau, dated 3 July 1946, accepted the Allotment of Air units with the understanding that Federal aid would be provided for installations, equipment and maintenance. On 27 September 1946, this Headquarters formally accepted the allotment of Air units (together with Ground units), subject to the general statement of policies relating to the post-war New York National Guard. To date, the principal efforts of this Headquarters have been devoted to securing installations for the proper maintenance of Air units. Assisting in this matter is CoL Erickson S. Nichols, Senior Air Instructor with the New York National Guard.

(2) Organization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps

(a) On 28 October 1946, this Headquarters requested permission of His Excellency, the Governor of the State of New York, to formulate the State War-Disaster Military Corps for the following mission: 1. In wartime, and in the absence of the Federalized National Guard, for immediate protection of civil localities and as a basis for expansion to meet extended war needs of the State; and 2. In peacetime, to supplement the Federally-recognized New York National Guard in cases of disaster or disturbances, and to be prepared and trained as a force immediately available in the absence of the National Guard. (b) Approval of this plan was granted by His Excellency, the Governor of the State 'of New York, on 9 November 1946. (c) The formation of the State War-Disaster Military Corps is contiguous to the reorganization of the National Guard, insofar as it will absorb the personnel of the present State Guard who are unable to qualify for Federal recognition in the National Guard. Members of the SW-DMC will be administered by the various headquarters of the National Guard, with 'similar training, armory privileges, uniforms, etc.

GENERAL

Guard under the provisions of General Orders No.4, HeadquartersNew York (State) Guard, 19 November 1945, became effective 1 January 1946. The organization of the new units authorized by this order have been accomplished. (2) As a step in the reorganization of the New York (State) Guard for its transition to the New York National Guard, and to assure more effective use of the New York (State) Guard in emergency operations, the following changes were made in the organization of machine gun units, effective 15 February 1946: regiments, New York (State) Guard, the machine gun platoon was separated from each headquarters company and redesigned as a machine gun company. Two additional machine gun companies were authorized, under certain restrictions, in each infantry regiment. These machine gun companies are to be Coso D, 'H and M. b. The Machine Gun Platoon, 22d Engineers (Combat), New York (State) Guard, was disbanded, and two machine guns were assigned to each of the six Engineer Companies. c. The Machine Gun Platoon, 51st Cavalry (Mecz), New York (State) Guard, was disbanded. Scout cars equipped with machine guns were assigned to the 2d Squadron, and two machine guns were assigned to each troop of the 1st and 3rd Squadrons, 51st Cavalry (Mecz). (3) To provide for their more efficient operation, a communications platoon was authorized for each of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Divisions, New York (State) Guard. These platoons were organized as a part of each Division Headquarters Company. (4) As a further step in the reorganization of the New York (State) Guard for its transition to the New York National Guard, the organization of an antiaircraft artillery brigade headquarters and headquarters battery was authorized in August. In September, an antiaircraft artillery operations detachment was also authorized. b. Re-estab lishment of the N ew York National Guard (1) During the current year the intensive study as to the best method of re-establishing the New York National Guard, which was begun in 1944 by Headquarters New York (State) Guard, was continued. As the study progressed, it became more evident that the decision made last year to use the New York (State) Guard as a basis for the re-establishment of the New York National Guard was sound and required no change. Notwithstanding many serious obstacles, the New York (State) Guard still maintains high standards as a going concern-well organized and well trained, with efficient leadership in all echelons of command. (2) In February, the National Guard Bureau submitted to the State of New York a proposed allotment of troops for the post-war New York National Guard. This allotment consisted of one inf&ntry division, one infantry combat team, Air National Guard troops, antiaircraft artillery ~nits, coast artillery units and other

miscellaneous units, bringing the proposed allotment up to 44,112 Ground Force troops and 3,665 Air National Guard troops-total, 47,777. (3) A comprehensive study was made of the proposed allotment, and it was felt that many of the units allotted, while desirable from the Federal viewpoint of an over-all balanced force, had a limited value for emergency operations within the State. Also, the existing armory capacity within the State was inadequate to house the troops allotted; storage space for vehicles was inadequate, and no facilities were available for organizations of Air National Guard units. (4) The results of our study were submitted to the National Guard Bureau. This study was quite long, and contained several important proposals on behalf of the State. The important points may be summed up as follows: The State of New York is prepared to raise,. without delay, an initial force (including two infantry divisions and one infantry combat team) of approximately 32,000 Ground Force troops, based on existing armory capacities. It is prepared to raise promptly the allotted total of 3,665 Air National Guard troops-if and when Federal facilities and installations are furnished for the purpose. It is further prepared to raise additional Ground Force troops under the same conditions of Federal aid. (5) By correspondence and conferences, an agreement was reached with the National Guard Bureau, and in July a new allotment of troops was made to the State of New York. This new allotment of troops contains two infantry divisions, one infantry combat team and some new units, and it made some changes in units. In the allotment units were numerically designated in such a manner as to permit the historical continuity of many units with with same or similar numerical designations. The strength of the allotted Ground Force troops is 57,372, and of the Air National Guard troops 4,536. (6) Based on the National Guard Bureau allotment of units to the State of New York, plans for the re-establishment of the New York National Guard (Federally-recognized) and organization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps (New York Guard) were completed and are published in Circular No.8, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, 29 November 1946, and chart "Plan for Re establishment of New York National Guard and Organization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps." A brief outline of the high points of the Plan is as follows: a. To organize initially approximately 32,000 Ground Force troops (the maximum capacity of existing armories), consisting of two infantry divisions, one infantry combat team, two antiaircraft artillery brigades and a portion of other allotted units. To defer the organization of the remaining allotted Ground Force troops pending Federal aid in providing addi. tional armories.

b. To start organizing at once as many of the allotted Air National Guard units as the required training facilities became available. c. To organize the State War-Disaster Military Corps. This is a New York Guard organization. Initially it will be composed of personnel of the present New York Guard who fail to qualify for Federal recognition, transferred there to at the time their unit completes its transformation to a National Guard unit (Federally-recognized). When transformation is completed, this Corps will have a strength of approximately 4,000. This isa new-type military force-the first of its kind known to be organized. It is charged specifically with being prepared to take the necessary counter-measures for the relief of the civilian population in the event of sudden hostile attack by bombs, rockets or guided missiles, and during other types of civilian disaster. Provisions for these measures should not await the time when such blows are struck. It also must be prepared to expand into larger State Guard units if and when the National Guard is called into Federal service again. d. During the period when a unit is undergoing transition to a Federally-recognized unit, there will be some disorganization, which may limit the unit's effectiveness for emergency operations. In order that there may always be available to the State a sufficient force, strategically located, to meet emergencies, units of the New York Guard are assigned to one of seven groups for transformation to Federally-recognized National Guard units. These groups are numbered serially, and their number indicates the sequence of their transformation. This provides for a gradual, progressive, orderly and controllable plan for the re-establishment of the New York National Guard. .

e. To put the plan into effect, General Orders No. 16, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, 29 November 1946 (copy attached and marked Appendix No.3), was published. This order provides that the units of the New York Guard listed in Group No. 1 will begin, on 1 December 1946, the steps necessary to transform them into Federally-recognized National Guard units, and the concurrent organization of any State War-Disaster Military Corps unit which may be attached to that unit. Similar orders will be issued with reference to each succeeding group at the appropriate time. The reorganization contemplated under the Plan required some changes in carrying out the provisions of Field Order No.1, Headquarters New York (State) Guard~the New York (State) Guard Emergency Plan-dated 15 May 1944, as 'amended. This was accomplished by General Orders No. 17, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, 30 November 1946 (copy attached and marked Appendix No.6). It will be noted that throughout the entire period of conversion-before, during and after the re-establishment of the Federally-recognized

REPORT OF THE COMMANDING GENERAL

49

National Guard and the organization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps-the provisions of the above-mentioned order remain in full force and effect. c. Establishment of Military Law Conference (1) On 23 October 1946, the Commanding General created the Military Law Conference to make a study and submit recommendations for the revision of the Military Law and Regulations of New York and the provisions of other laws and regulations pertaining thereto. (2) Col. Charles G. Stevenson, N.Y.N.G., was designated Chairman of the Conference. Committees have been set up covering each Article of the Military Law and related laws and regulations, and these committees are studying their assigned subjects prior to making recommendations. The first general meeting of the entire Conference was held at Headquarters New York (State) National Guard on 5 December 1946. 6. Training During the current year continued progress was made in the training of the State Guard. The training was conducted in accordance with the general principles and instructions contained in Federal directives, but stressed and accentuated tactical methods and doctrines particularly applicable to the missions and operations of the State Guard. Close and friendly relations have been maintained with the United States Army-formerly, with the Security Branch, Security and Intelligence Division, and the State Guard Branch, Military Training Division, Headquarters Second Service Command, Army Service Forces, as long as these agencies were in existence; and, at present, with Headquarters New York-New ~Jersey-Delaware Military District of the First Army. These relations have been still further strengthened by the presence at our Headquarters of Army Ground Force and Army Air Force instructors and sergeant-instructors. In the event of domestic disturbances, the whole- hearted cooperation of Federal forces and of the local police with the New York Guard is assured. 7. Armory Training a. Armory training was conducted under the provisions of Training Circular No.4, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, 1 October 1945, and Training Circular No.5, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, 20 September 1946. b. There was a definite improvement in armory training during the current year. Training programs and schedules were, in general, very good in all echelons of command, and indicated intelligent care in their preparation. c. In order to stimulate interest in, and improve the quality of, rifle marksmanship, a series of small-bore indoor rifle marksmanship matches, participated in by all units of the New York Guard, was conducted during the winter months and carried out to a successful conclusion.

d. A Command Post Exercise was conducted, which included Headquarters New York Guard and all division, brigade and regimental headquarters located in New York City. Similar Command Post Exercises were conducted by division, brigade and regimental headquarters of units outside New York City, based on a general situation furnished by Headquarters New York (State) Guard.

8. Field Training a. The field training period this year extended from 16 June to 25 September, excluding days of preparation and closing. As was the case last year, each unit was on duty twelve days and received field training during nine days, the remainder of the training period being days of arrival and departure and one holiday (Sunday). . b. Great assistance in training was provided by the First Platoon, Co. E, 2d U.S. Infantry, from Camp Campbell, Ky. This Platoon, together with the Post Service Detachment, New York (State) Guard, conducted demonstrations and assisted in tactical problems and other types of training. Other assistance in training was rendered by the United States Army by providing officer, enlisted and civilian personnel who assisted in chemical demonstrations, gave practical assistance and instruction to unit supply officers, mess sergeants and cooks in the issue of subsistence supplies and operation of unit messes, conducted food inspections and inspected and repaired weapons at Camp Smith. c. The field training was in accordance with Training Circular No.4, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, dated 15 April 1946. The training program was intensive, and stressed training in those subjects which can best be given in the field, with special emphasis on training in formations and operations which are particularly pertinent to the mission of the New York (State) Guard. The principal features of the field training were as follows:
(1) Weapons Practice

Instruction and modified record courses were fired, using service ammunition, with the rifle, submachine gun, revolver; the heavy machine gun, cal. .30, and the flexible machine gun, cal. .30. In addition, the 3rd Squadron, 51st Cavalry (Mecz), and the scout car platoons participated in field firing with the flexible machine gun, cal. .30, firing from the moving scout car. The following is the total number of rounds per man required or authorized to fire: rifle, 50; sub-machine gun, 35; revolver, 65; machine gun, cal. .22, trainer, 100; machine gun, cal. .30, 250 (including 50 rounds at field targets). Insignia for qualification in marksmanship were issued as follows: rifle expert, sharpshooter and marksman; revolver expert, sharpshooter and marksman; submachine gun, marksman; machine gun (cal. .30), expert, first-class gunner and second-class gunner. Qualification courses were conducted with the training grenade and the bayonet. There was a great improvement in qualifications in all arms over previous years, as evidenced by the following total qualifications: rifle, 9121; revolver, 607; machine gun,

(2) Tactical Problems

The tactical problems were planned to stress combat principles and leadership in all units from the regiment to the squad, and particularly the leadership-training of junior officers and noncommissioned officers. All problems were two-sided and thus required quick decisions and orders under stress. The Riot Control Problem and the Village Problem of previous years were revised and combined into one exercise. Training was given in one area (the Camp Smith truck sheds, termed" Smithtown") in the application of the principles governing the use of troops in handling and dispersing disorderly crowds which the civil authorities are unable to control; establishing civil regulations in the cleared area, and preventing disorderly crowds from re-entering the area; and in another area (the mock village, termed "Mockville") training was given in the preparation of a village for defense, and the attack and defence of such a village (including training in street and house-to-house fighting) . Platoon Problems differed from those of last year in that greater opportunity was given to squad leaders for training in leadership. As ,vas the case last year, one platoon in each problem area occupied and defended a position and was attacked by another platoon of the same company. Prior to the attack and defence of the position, the individual squads of each platoon were given reconnaissance missions designed to teach leadership to the squad leaders. As has been the case in previous years, various "tactical incidents," such as a civilian, a sniper, an enemy patrol or an enemy deserter, were introduced into the problem for the purpOiSe of requiring platoon and squad leaders to make quick decisions and take definite action. ( 3 ) Umpiring The Riot-Control-Village Problem was umpired by Staff officers of division and brigade headquarters, or, in some instances, by regimental commanders and their staffs. Platoon Problems were umpired by battalion and company officers. All umpiring was under the supervision and guidance of the Post Training Staff. The officers conducting the problems and the umpires were carefully instructed and rehearsed in all phases of the problem before it was executed. This instruction proved to be sound and' effective, and gave training in the tactical principles and doctrines involved to both the umpires and the participants.

(4) Demonstrations
Demonstrations included illustration of the effect of rifle, submachine gun and machine. gun fire; the actions of a rifle squad in

building up the firing line, designating targets and giving fire orders; covering the front of a position by cross-fire of flank squads; organization and operation of the firing line and the pit on a target range; the conduct of training in bayonet and grenade praGtice; scouting; patrolling; concealment and use of cover; interior guard duty; entrucking and detrucking; a meeting engagement between two platoons, one in march on an offensive mission and the other in a defensive position, and the attack and envelopment of the position by the platoon on the offensive; riot control formations (squad, platoon and company); clearing an area of disorderly crowds; clearing a house by the use of tear gas, and by' fire and movement when the occupants of the house are protected against gas; defence of one house and of a group of houses in a village; the attack and defence of a village; including house-to-house and street fighting; the use of various types of smoke and gas in dispersing a riotous crowd, and the use of other chemicals.

(5) Comma,nd Post Exercises

Two types of Command Post Exercises were held: (a) Headquarters and Headquarters Company, New York (State) Guard; Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Division, and 1st Signal Company participated in a continuous three-day Command Post Exercise which involved the theoretical use of the New York Guard in the City of New York in aid of civil authority, and was planned primarily to test the accuracy, soundness and workability of Field Orders No.1, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, 15 May 1944,as amended. (b) The other type of Command Post Exercise was carried out in the area of Gallows Hill, in the vicinity of Camp Smith, and was participated in by division, brigade, regimental and battalion commanders and staffs, their Headquarters Companies or Detachments, Medical Detachments and intelligence personnel. It contemplated an attack on Jacobs' Hill and the capture or destruction of a theoretical enemy force occupying that place. The problem lasted about nine hours.

(6) Engineer

Training

The training of engineer detachments of regiments and separate infantry battalions and of the 22d Engineers (Combat) consisted of the erection of temporary road blocks (including inspection road blocks) in connection with the tactical problems involving riot control; and the construction of permanent improvements on the State Military Reservation, including the repair and drainage @f roads and trails, the building of bridges and culverts, and the construction of catch basins and a weir. The accomplishment of these projects provided excellent training for the engineer personnel and create.d great interest among them.

(7) Machine Gun Units

The newly-organized machine gun companies fired qualification courses with the machine gun and with the rifle or revolver, and

REPORT

participated in the Riot Control-Village Problem. The 1st and 3rd Squadrons, 51st Cavalry (Mecz), and selected personnel of the 22nd Engineers (C) also fired the machine gun.

(8) Mechanized Units

The 51st Cavalry (Mecz) conducted a special problem planned for a mechanized unit in the handling of a theoretical civil disturbance; and its 2d Squadron conducted a mechanized tactical exercise. The Scout Car Platoons were used in the Riot Control-Village Problem in cooperation with other troops. (9 ) Medical Units Medical units received training in their normal addition, operated tactically as part of the line which attached during the various problems and Exercises. They also provided emergency medical ranges. duties and, in organization to Command Post service on the

(10) Signal Communications

Training

The 1st Signal Company and the Communications platoons and sections received specialist training and participated in the Command Post Exercises. The communications sections of the regiments took part in the Riot Control-Village Problem.

(11) Chemical Training

Chemical training was given to all chemical officers, squads and detachments, and each battalion, as a unit, was passed through a gas area.

(12) Other Types of Training

Instruction in company paper work and administration in preparation for transformation of State Guard units into National Guard units was given by Army instructors and sergeant-instructors to officers and enlisted personnel of the various State Guard ' units in camp. A short course in Mess Management was conducted by Army personnel for supply and mess officers and mess sergeants and cooks. Personnel of Quartermaster Battalions (Tr k) attended Motor Transport School. Organizations received training in extended order, scouting, patrolling and other security measures, and in shelter tent pitching, and participated in parades, guard mounting, reviews, interior guard duty, muster and inspection, including display of equipment.

9. Schools
a. The school system of the New York (State) Guard includes offi'cers', officer candidates', noncommissioned officers' schools, and specialist school for signal communications personnel, for mess sergeants and cooks, for engineer personnel, for supply officers, and for motor mechanics and, drivers, and in message center procedure. In ,addition, a school for Engineer Officers was con-

ducted in the City of New York by the Engineer Officersof Headquarters New York Guard. b. The Second Service Command State Guard School at Fort Dix, N. J., offered two courses-namely, a Field Officers' Course in command and staff procedure, and a Company Officers' and Noncommissioned Officers' Course in minor tactics, leadership, and organization. and control of troops. This School provided our troops with an opportunity for specialized training in tactics and operations pertinent and peculiar to the missions of the Guard. These courses were each of one-week (calendar) duration. The School also offered a special two-day week-end course attended by officers and noncommissioned officers, without expense to the State of New York. The Second Service Command State Guard School was discontinued and closed 6 April 1946. (See Appendix No.7.) 10. Emergency Duty a. Late in May 1946 a stoppage of railroad transportation congested traffic and confused transportation conditions throughout the State. As a precautionary measure in preparation for possible mobilization of the New York Guard, Duty Officers were ordered on duty at the headquarters of each division, brigade, regiment, Separate Infantry Battalion and quartermaster battalion at 1600 hours on 24 May, and continued on this duty until 1000 hours on 26 May 1946. Copies of Field Orders Nos. 6 and 7, Headquarters New York Guard, are appended and marked Appendices Nos. 8 and 9. b. During late May and early June 1946 serious floods jeopardized the lives and property of the residents of Corning and Elmira, N. Y., and vicinity. (1) Upon the request of the Mayor of Corning, and as authorized by Your Excellency, orders :were issued mobilizing and ordering into active service, as of 0700 hours on 28 May, Company C, 21st . Infantry., N.Y.G., at Corning, for the purpose of aiding the civil authorities of Corning in alleviating the situation in Corning and vicinity. Upon the conclusion of this emergency, orders were issued directing demobilization of Company C, 21st Infantry, as of 0900 on 29 May 1946. Copies of Field Orders Nos. 8 and 9, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, are appended and marked Appendices Nos. 10 and II. (2) Upon the request of the civil authorities of Elmira, and as authorized by Your Excellency, orders were issued mobilizing and ordering into active service, as of 1130 hours on 30 May, Company L, 3rd Infantry, N.Y.G., at Elmira, for the purpose of aiding the civil authorities of Elmira in alleviating the situation in Elmira and vicinity. Upon the conclusion of this emergency, orders were issued directing demobilization of Company L, 3rd Infantry, as of 1730 hours on 9 June 1946. Copies of Field Orders Nos. 10 and 11, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, are appended and marked Appendices Nos. 12 and 13.

11. Medical Oare and Sanitation The sick record' of the field training period is favorable. Cases requiring hospitalization were sent to Peekskill ~ospital, as i~ previous years. There was one death at camp. ThIs was not prImarily'due to accident, but to an existing physical .condition.o~the individual prior to enlistment. All minor cases of Illness or InJury were cared for at regimental infirmaries. See Appendix No. 14 for statistical data. 12. Inspections The annual Federal inspections of units were held during the period 2 January 1946to 7 March 1946, pursuant to War Department orders. State armory inspections were held during the winter of 1945-1946 and the spring of 1946. In the metropolitan area of the City of New York the inspecting officerswere Staff officersof Headquarters New York (State) Guard, who also inspected the upstate divisions and brigade headquarters and Headquarters Companies. Other upstate units were inspected by staff officersof the respective divisions. During the field training period at Camp Smith, inspectors detailed by the Commanding General, First Army, inspected our regiments and separate units with the principal view to determining their training efficiency. Reports of the inspectors indicated a uniformly satisfactory condition. Inspection boards detailed by the Commanding General, New York (State) Guard, observed the administration and training of units during their field training and conducted a formal field inspection at the end of the training period, rendering reports upon their observations and inspections. Throughout the year inspections at irregular and unscheduled times were made by division, brigade, regimental and (Separate) Battalion commanders, and by Staff officersfrom this Headquarters. During the entire training period at Camp Smith (16 June-25 September) two civilian small-arms inspectors from the Small-Arms Repair Shop, Fort Wadsworth, N. Y., were present and inspected all small arms before they were fired on the ranges. This was done for the purpose of detecting unsafe or badly-worn weapons. The inspecting was very efficiently done, and was productive of good results. 13. Arms and Equipment Fourteen scout cars were received and issued to the 51st Cavalry (Mecz), which was also given the scout cars of the 1st and 2d Scout Car Platoons. The number of scout cars in the State is now thirty.four. The 51st Cavalry also received eIght trucks (2%-ton, cargo), bringing the number of that type of truck in the State up to 117. The 1st Medical Battalion received 6 ambulances, bringing the number in the State up to 28. More machine guns were received, so that, <asadditional machine gun companies were organized, they could be at once equipped with their machine guns l1nd that other units in need of such armament could be pro~ptly

equipped. The Guard now has 493 Browning, cal. .30, watercooled machine guns; 66 Browning, cal. .30, air-cooled machine guns; 959 Thompson submachine guns; 460 Reising submachine guns, and 2 Browning, cal. .50, air-cooled machine guns. Although the Guard is not equipped with all the latest arms and equipment of the Army, its most vital needs have been met for its possible missions, and a great many of the items will be found suitable for re-issue to the reactivated National Guard. On the whole, arms and equipment have been well cared for by the units to which issued.

14. Ammunition
The Federal allowance of ammunition remained the same, which again allowed well-balanced practice and record courses during the field training, as well as considerable firing at home stations. Great interest in target practice continued as before. The Federal allowance of chemical ammunition was sufficient for the training program. In each armory there is an allowance of ammounition kept separate from training ammunition, and which is to be used only in case of emergency. The chemical allowance in armories for emerg~ ency purposes was increased during the year by orders from this Headquarters.

15. Permanent Plant

Upon its return from Camp Smith to New York on 15 Octobe:r 1946, Headquarters New York (State) Guard, which had been located at 80 Centre Street since 8 December 1930, moved into its new site on the 21st floor of 270 Broadway (Broadway and Chambers Street), New York 7, N. Y., where it found the space which it had to have on account of increased personnel (including Regular Army) necessary for the reactivation, administration and training of the National Guard. Oamp Smith. The road on the west and north sides of the West Parade Ground was hard-surfaced at Federal expense-approximately $3,000. The Military Road has been deteriorating over a number of years, and at least it became absolutely necessary to repair and restore about a mile of it, which was done at State expense. The target ranges were kept in repair and good operating condition very largely at Federal expense. Underground telephone cables were installed connecting the firing points with the butts on Ranges Nos. 1,2 and 3. During a severe rainstorm that lasted for several days near the end of July 1946, a portion of the East Camp was washed away. Nine pyramidal concrete tent floors were lost, and occupancy of 21 other tents had to be discontinued in the interest of safety. The State has decided to refill the washout this winter and restore the East camp, but several years must elapse before the ground will settle and before ,final drainage measures may be taken, and the whole returned to its original state.

REPORT

COlVI1VlANDING GENERAL

57

Buildings Nos. 63 (Military Police) and 67 (a latrine) were completely renovated, while many others were given minor repairs. Three bridges were built over small streams and the lake, and some repairs and improvements done to roads as part of the training program of the Engineer Regiment and regimental engineer detachments. .

Armories. The armories have been kept up, but have not been improved during the year, except in very minor particulars. The National Guard allotment of troops has been received, and this Headquarters, in turn, has made its assignment of troops to armories, so that now it can be foreseen what the deficiences will be in the matter of warehouse space, office space, locker space, schoolroom space, drill floor space, recreational facilities, safety features and, particularly, vehicular storage capacity. Although 75% of the vehicles may be kept at Pine Camp and other training centers, and there may be space in armories and truck sheds for the remaining 25%, the situation will not always be satisfactory, since the available storage space is not always distributed in the same manner as the vehicles. As examples, the armory at No. 355 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., can take in a large number of vehicles, while the one at No. 104 East 34th Street, New York, N. Y., can take in none. Truck sheds had to be located where ground was available, which was not always where the bulk of the vehicles was to be placed. It seems evident that a considerable amount of money will have to be expended for armory construction and improvements, as well as for vehicular storage; some will be }1'ederal funds and some will be State funds, as may be decided later by negotiations between the two authorities. It may be added that in addition to the 6 truck sheds at Camp Smith the following are under construction and will be completed in the spring of 1947: 2, each, at Albany, Buffalo, Peekskill and Utica; 1, each, at IVI:ohawk and Rochester.
16. New York (State) Guard Emergency Plan a. The New York (State) Guard Emergency Plan (Field Orders No.1, with Annexes), which became effective on 15 June 1944, was tested practically during the emergency duty outlined in Par. 8, above, and was tested theoretically during numerous Command Post Exercises. These tests furnished additIonal proof that the Plan and its annexes are praticable, workable and sound in every respect. During the current year the Plan was amended so as to provide for the reorganization of the State Guard covered by General Orders No. 14, dated 19 November 1945. A further amendment is in progress to cover the changes made necessary by the transformation of the New York (State) Guard into the New York National Guard, as provided by General Orders No. 17, this Headquarters, 29 November 1946. In addition, Annex No. 5 of Appendix No.1, "Plan for Emergency Communications," was revised so as to provide means of communication between the various headquarters of the New York Guard. at any time when normal means of communication are not available. N one of the changes made (or in process) will alter the basic Plan in any way.

b. Reference is made to the current agreement between the Commanding General, New York (State) Guard, and the Commanding General, Second Service Command, approved by Your Excellency, which has for its purpose the planning and execution of combined operations of Federal and State military forces in case of war or domestic emergencies. This agreement normally would terminate on 10 January .1947. On 15 June 1946, the Second Service Command was dissolved, and was succeeded by the First Army. The Commanding General, New York (State) National Guard, has suggested the renewal of this agreement, and we are awaiting advice from the Commanding General, First Army, with reference to this renewal.

17. Administration Conferences were held by the Commanding General on matters of importance to the New York (State) Guard, as follows: 19 .Feb1u,ary 1946-Brigade and regimental commanders. Discussion of plan for attachment to the New York (State) Guard of Officers returning from Federal service. 29 November 1946"':""-Brigadend regimental commanders. a Discussion of plan of transition of New York (State) Guard to New York National Guard. 18. Recommendations' a. That The Adjutant General of the State inaugurate (or continue) a comprehensive study, together with recommendations, concerning repair and modification of present armories, the building of new ~rmories or other buildings, such as truck sheds; the acquisition of hangars and airport facilities for aviation units, and the acquisition or improvement of training areas necessary for the armory training program. b. It is strongly recommended that all troops receive field training at Camp Smith in 1947. Such troops as are eligible for training at Federal expense shall be so trained, the remainder of the troops which may be in various stages of reorganization and not fully qualified for Federal recognition, or which are purely State troops, should be trained at State expense, as in the past five years. 19. onclusions The New York State military forces throughout the past year, through training and accomplishment, have been ready to perform any civil disaster or disorder mission in a manner which would reflect credit upon the State. These forces are striving to accomplish the enormous conversion and reorganization processes for re-establishment of the New York National Guard and the organization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps element of the New York Guard without impairment of the existing State Constiutional requirements. May I express for the State military forces our sincereappreciation of your comprehension of our requirements7 your whole-hearted

RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW YORK NATIONAl; GUARD (FEDERALLY-RECOGNIZED) AND ORGANIZATION OF THE STATE WAR-DISASTER MILITARY CORP~ (NE"\V YORK GUARD) SECTION I
GENERAL

1. Under the provisions of Sections 30, 31, 40 and 40-A, Military Law, State of New York, and of Sections 57 to 77, inclusive, National Defense Act, and pursuant to the authority delegated by the Governor to the Commanding General, New York Guard, the military forces of the State will be reorganized in accordance with the plan described herein for the purpose of re-establishing the .federallyrecognized New York National Guard and of organizing from the existing New York Guard a force to be known as the "STATE WAR-DISASTER MILITARY CORPS." 2. The federally-recognized New York National Guard, as reestablished herein, will be available for the dual mission of Federa! and State service as prescribed by law and regulations. As an element of the New York Guard, the State War-Disaster Military Corps, as organized herein, will be available in peacetime to supplement the federally-recognized New York National Guard in cases of domestic disaster or disturbance and will constitute the military forces of the State required by law and regulations when.the New York National Guard is ordered into federal service. 3. The basis and nucleus for the re-establishment of the federallyrecognized New York National Guard will be the organizations and the personnel, assigned and attached, of the existing .New York Guard, together with the commissioned and enlisted personnel 0 ,. the military forces of the State. returned from federal. service. These organizations and this personnel,with such additional personnel as may be commissioned or enlisted therein, will ,be amalgamated and absorbed into the re-established New York National Guard as a federally-recognized force. The State War-Disaster Military Corps will comprise the personnel of the existing New York Guard units who are not eligible or available for service in the federally-recognized New York National Guard and such additional personnel as may be commissioned or enlisted therein.' During .peacetime, units of this Corps will be attached to federallyrecognized New York National Guard units. 4. Within the limitations set forth in War Department policies for a balanced, modern combat force, the historical continuity and

74

ANNUAL

REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT

GENERAL

traditions of the military forces of the State will be preserved in the re-established New York National Guard and in the State WarDisaster Military Corps. 'Vhile the requirements for such a force will necessitate certain departures from this policy, the New York National Guard units which existed in World War II will retain their identity as far as practicable. 5. It is mandatory that the military forces of the State must be prepared at all times to meet an ygrave emergency that may arise within the State. During the process of re-establishing the federally-recognized New York National Guard, adequate forces both for internal security and for possible war disasters must therefore be available immediately to the State. These demands will be properly met by the plan described herein, which provides for a gradual and progressive conversion of existing New York Guard units and their attached personnel into New York National Guard organizations and into their associated State War-Disaster Military Corps units. The retained New York Guard organizations awaiting conversion, together with the State War-Disaster Military Corps units being formed, will be available to protect life and property and to preserve order and public safety in peace-time, and, in the event of sudden war, to meet any domestic or civil emergency, as well as surprise enemy action, especially by air. 6. The inajor features of the plan described herein may be summarized as follows: a. To re-establish and to organize progressively the N ew York National Guard as a federally-recognized force. b. As a first step in this process, to re-designate the units of the existing New York (State) Guard as respective units of the New York National Guard in a State status, corresponding to the list of National Guard units allotted by the War Department to the State. c. rro organize likewise certain new units of the New York National Guard from the list of units alloted by the War Department to the State. d. To maintain these units of the New York National Guard in their State status, together with those New York Guard units await ing conversion, until such time as they will qualify for federal recognition. e. Concurrently with such procedure for federal recognition, to organize in certain units of the New York National Guard a "State War-Disaster Military Corps," consisting of New York (State) Guard personnel not available for federal recognition. f. To attach such units of the "State War-Disaster Military Corps" in peace-time to their parent units of the federally-recognized New York National Guard for necessary 'administration and training. 7. In accomplishing the plan set forth in Paragraph 6, above, the entire New York (State) Guard, together with its attached New York National Guard personnel, has been arranged in a sequence of groups, As each group in this sequence completes its

REPORT

GENERAL

75

conversion and qualifies for federal recognition, the next group will begin the same process. Thus, throughout the entire period of conversion and organization, there will always be available to the State sufficient forces to meet internal security or war-disaster missions. In the course of this conversion the units of each group will be designated initially as units of the New York National Guard in its State status, corresponding by arm or service to the appropriate units listed in the troops allotted to the State by the War Department for federal recognition. Thereupon, each of these units will immediately prepare itself for federal recognition and at the same time will organize a unit of the State War-Disaster Military Corps allotted and attached to it. As each group completes the above process, this Headquarters will institute the same procedure for each succeeding group. During this process it is essential that the units of succeeding groups will maintain themselves at all times in immediate readiness for possible State emergencies. 8. Throughout the entire period of conversion, before, during and after the re-establishment of the federally-recognized New York National Guard and -the organization of the State War-Disaster Military Corps, the provisions of the New York State Emergency Plan will remain in full force and effect, as prescribed in General Orders No. 14, this Headquarters 1945; and in Field Order No. 1, this Headquarters 1945, as amended. The command responsibilities and jurisdictions of the Commanding General, 27th Division and the Commanding General, 42d Division under this plan for the reorganization of the State military forces will be prescribed in General Orders and in Changes to Field Order No.1, to be issued separately. In accordance with these changes, effective upon a date to be announced by this Headquarters, the Operational Districts assigned to the 1st and 5th Divisions, New York Guard, will become the responsibility of the Commanding General, 42d Division; and the Operational Districts assigned to the 3d and 4th Divisions, New York Guard, will become the responsibility of the Commanding General, 27th Division. 9. a. The Commanding Generals of the 27th and 42d Infantry Divisions are charged with supervising the administration and training of all units of the New York (State) Guard and of the New York National Guard in State status, within their respective Operational Districts. Training of these units will be as prescribed in Training Circular No.5, Headquarters New York Guard, 20 September 1946. b. When units of the New York National Guard are federallYrecognized, their administration and training will be supervis~d unless otherwise indicated, through the normal channels of command, as follows: (1) Units which are part of a division, by the Commanding General of that division. (2) Units which ~re part of a brigade, by the Commanding General of that brigade.

When units of the State War-Disaster Military Corps are organized, their administration and training will be the respomdbility of the commanding officer of the federally-recognized National Guard unit to which the State War-Disaster Military Corps unit is attached, through the channels of command indicated in Paragraph 9b, above. 10. Based upon the rate of progress in conversion and organization, or upon other controlling factors, this Headquarters will announce from time to time the specificdates upon which each unit of the existing New York Guard and each new National Guard unit will initiate the procedures described herein. 11. Throughout this Circular, the following definitions of terms will be observed: a.

12. a. The aggregate strength of the Ground Force units allotted bythe War.Department to the State of New York is 57,372, based upon 100% of the commissioned and 80% of the enlisted strengths of the applicable War Department Tables of Organization. The objective for the initial organization of the allotted Ground Force units is generally 100% of the commissioned a:r,.d60% of the enlisted strengths, based upon the capacities of the existing armories throughout the State. The maximum capacities of such armories for this purpose is estimated at approximately 32,000 troops. For the organization of the remaining allotted Ground Force units, namely, approximately 25,000 troops, federal aid for armory construction will be required. It is estimated that an average 70% of the enlisted personnel of the present New York Guard will qualify for enlistment in the New York National Guard, and that the balance of the required strength will come from W orldWar II veterans and new enlistments. b. The a:ggregate strength of the allotted Air Force units is 4,536, based generally upon 100% of the commissioned. and. enlisted strengths of the applicable War Department Tables of Organization. For the organization of such Air Force units federal aid is necessary for the required training facilities. Initially, Air units will be organized at Mitchel Field, Syracuse and Niagara Falls. Additional units will be organized at Schenectady, Rochester, and in the New York City area if and when local facilities become available. . c.The initial strength of the State War-Disaster Military Corps, which will be organized concurrently with the federally-recognized New York National Guard, is approximately 4,000. d. The numerical designations of the Ground and Air Force units as allotted by the War Department are shown in Annex No.1, atta(?hed. The numerical designations of the allotted State WarDisaster Military Corps units ,vill correspond generally to the numerical designations of their parent New York National Guard units. 13. The plan for the progressive conversion of the existing New York State Guard units into Ne," York National Guard units

assigns such units to various groups in an order of priority which indicates the sequence of the process of conversion. As a first step in this process, the New York State Guard units will be re-desig'nated as New York National Guard units in a State status and they will thereupon immediately begin to prepare for federal recognition and at the same time to organize their allotted State War-Disaster Military Corps units. When this preparatory reorganization has reached a satisfactory stage, this Headquarters will then request the War Department to fix a specific date for the activation of each National Guard unit concerned. The unit must then be presented for formal federal recognition without delay. The dates when each group will be re-designated and will begin the process of conversion will be announced by this Headquarters in each case. These dates will be determined by the rate of progress attained in the process of conversion and organization. For details concerning these procedures, see Section IV, herein. 14. For planning purposes, it is estimated that the first group will be re-designated on 1 December 1946, will be activated on 1 January 1947, and will be federally-recognized within sixty (60) days thereafter, or prior to 1 March 1947. Subsequent groups will be processed and federally-recognized in sequence at intervals of approximately sixty (60) days after the preceeding group has been federally-recognized. Under this procedure, therefore, it is estimated that the approximate strengths of each category of troops during the period of reorganization will be as shown in Annex No.2, attached. SECTION

CORPS (NEW YORK GUARD)

15. a. The lessons of World War II, coupled with the known and foreseeable scientific developments in aerial war weapons, demand peace-time military provisions to counter and to alleviate the effects of air missile attacks on civil localities, suddenly made and without adequate advance warnings. Provisions for these emergencies should not await the time when such blows are struck. Forces should be available for this type of emergency at all times if our people and their possessions are to be assisted and protected under such dire circumstances. b. Under the provisions of the War Department policy, the National Guard of the State must be immediately available for service without the State. Consequently, it is incumbent upon the State to include in its own. peace-time military forces adequate volunteer perosnnel, organized, equipped and trained to meet such emergencies. With the foregoing in view, the present reorganization of the State l\filitary Forces contemplates retention of a part of the present New York Guard as a "State War-Disaster Military Corps." 16. a. Currently with the transformation of the New York Guard into the New York National Guard and the creation of each New

York National Guard unit, the various units of the State War-Disaster Military Corps will be organized. Division Commanders will supervise the organization of these units for all organizations within their Territorial Commands and Operational Districts. b. This State War-Disaster Military Corps will comprise the Commanders, Staffs and units indicated hereinafter. As the New York National Guard (Federally recognized) units are re-established, the State War-Disaster Military Corps (New York Guard) units will be attached to the federally recognized National Guard units from which they were organized for administration, training and maintenance of the units' esprit decorps. They will, however, retain their identity as a State Military Force. 17. Subject to the provisions of the National Defense Act and the Military Law, State of New York, these New York Guard units will be maintained in an active status as a State War-Disaster Military Corps under State authority. So long as the National Guard is available to the State, they will supplement its operations and be a part thereof. In the absence of the National Guard from the State, they will have the mission of handling grave domestic disturbances, disasters, relief and internal security. They also will constitute a basis for' a prompt expansion of the New York Guard when, and if, the New York National Guard is inducted into active federal service. 18. As a War-Disaster Force, these New York Guard units are charged specifically with necessary counter-measures for the relief of the civilian population in the event of sudden hostile attack by bombs, rockets or guided missiles. To this end, they will be trained primarily to meet civilian disasters and in civilian control and relief measures, as established by the New York State War Emergency Act, 1941, et seq. They will maintain liaison with the appropriate State, County and Municipal agencies and will all local volunteer civilian relief agencies established for the same purpose. 19. The personnel of these War-Disaster units will be composed normally of those individuals with prior service in the New York National Guard or New York Guard who are ineligible under existing War Department regulations for federal recognition in the National Guard of the United States. 20. These State War-Disaster Military Corps units will be organized under the present Infantry Tables of Organization for the New York Guard. They will form a part of the troops available for emergency operations within each Territorial Command and Operational District under the .provisions of General Orders No. 14, Headquarters New York Guard, 1945, as amended; and Field Order No.1, Headquarters New York Guard, 1944, as amended. 21. The pay and allowances for these War-Disaster units will be as authorized for the present New York Guard. Individual and 'organization clothing and equipment will be similar to that furnished for the present New York Guard, modified where required for their specially assigned missions.
