Officer Candidate School; The Empire State Military Academy, an accredited National

Guard Bureau School, operated by the D i v i s i o n of M i l i t a r y and Naval A f f a i r s , conducts Branch School #1 at Gamp Smith annually each summer. The alternative periods of classroom and f i e l d training provided at Camp Smith during the summer phase of the school i s the most important part of the program. The specific purpose of the Academy i s to develop and train highly qualified individuals for a lifetime career as o f f i ­cers i n the New York Army National Guard. Tk4 instruction i s carefully designed to furnish the candidates with the highest type of proficient and effective leadership, both special and technical. The outstanding training e f f i c i e n c y rating main­tained each year by the Academy i s due i n no small part to the excellent f a c i l i t i e s afforded at Camp Smith. A more detailed report on the Empire State Military Academy i s con­tained i n Chapter Five of this report.

Records f o r a l l p e r s o n a l property assets of the DMNA were e s t a b l i s h e d during the year and at t h i s time i s about 97% complete.

Reports of Survey f o r l o s t or m i s s i n g property and c o l l e c t i o n of monies based on pecuniary l i a b i l i t y determined by the surveys, coupled w i t h the bonding of Property Custodians, have made a l l concerned more cognizant of i n d i v i d u a l r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s i n the care, s e c u r i t y and accounting of s t a t e property.

A n a l y s i s of the preceding would i n d i c a t e a considerable reduction i n the t o t a l q u a n t i t y and value of each of the se v e r a l types of r e l i e f vouchers i n i t i a t e d as compared to the previous p e r i o d , w i t h the exception of the t o t a l value of

Reports of Survey. Whereas the t o t a l q u a n t i t y of such Reports of Survey decreased by approximately 16%, the corresponding value increased by approximately 80%. However, i n v e s t i g a t i o n revealed t h i s c o n d i t i o n not to be i n d i c a t i v e of an unfavorable t r e n d since i t was generated by a s i n g l e survey covering an M48 Tank damaged during f i e l d t r a i n i n g . Inasmuch as the nature of the damage made r e p a i r beyond the scope of F i e l d Maintenance Shop a c t i v i t y and s l a t e d the tank f o r evacuation to a f e d e r a l depot f o r d i s p o s i t i o n , the value assigned the p e r t i n e n t Report of Survey f o r the purpose of Survey Branch records - $61,633.61, was based on an estimated cost of r e p a i r .

I n c i d e n t a l l y , there was no n e g l i ­gence connected w i t h the damage to the tank*

The a c t i v i t y i n v o l v i n g claims against the P o s i t i o n Bonds of delinquent r e s p o n s i b l e o f f i c e r s almost reached the optimum when i t was necessary to f i l e 1 c l a i m o n l y . This c l a i m , t o ­gether w i t h one c a r r i e d over from the previous p e r i o d , made only 2 i n process during the current p e r i o d , both of which ( t o t a l i n g $461„50) was s e t t l e d by the Bonding Company l e a v i n g no c l a i m outstanding at the end of the p e r i o d . This report i s a l s o s i g n i f i c a n t i n that i t i s an i n d i c a t i o n that r e s p o n s i b l e o f f i c e r s against whom pecuniary charges have been l e v i e d are more and more accepting t h e i r r e s p o n s i b i l i t y and duty to v o l u n t a r i l y s e t t l e such assessments.

Appeals from pecuniary charges imposed by Reports of Survey again showed a decrease w i t h 5 being i n process t h i s p e r i o d as compared to 9 the previous p e r i o d . Only 2 of the 5 appeals were i n i t i a t e d t h i s p e r i o d , the other 3 being c a r r y overs from the previous p e r i o d . 2 Appeals were f i n a l i z e d during the p e r i o d l e a v i n g 3 s t i l l i n precess of review by the Secretary of the Army at the end of the p e r i o d . In the case of the appeals f i n a l i z e d , both were allowed. This a c t i o n re­s u l t e d i n a reimbursement of $1,877.34 to the Bonding Company which had s e t t l e the relevant pecuniary charges v i a P o s i t i o n Bond claims -

The schedule of f e d e r a l property l o s s e s or damage which had been compiled and p u b l i s h e d state-wide q u a r t e r l y , was d i s c o n t i n u e d during the year i n view of the h i g h degree of care and c o n t r o l of f e d e r a l property a t t a i n e d , as evidenced by the d r a s t i c r e d u c t i o n i n the q u a n t i t y and value of r e l i e f vouchers i n i t i a t e d * , However, i f i n the f u t u r e there i s a general upward trend i n r e l i e f voucher a c t i v i t y which may i n ­d i c a t e a de-emphasis i n supply c o n t r o l , t h i s report w i l l again, be p u b l i s h e d to provide major commanders w i t h a means of monitoring supply c o n t r o l and economy w i t h i n t h e i r o r g a n i z a t i o n

The l a c k of adequate funds f o r the procurement r e p a i r p a r t s continues to be a matter of serious concern w i t h a decrease of 35% i n FY 64 funding support under FY 63- The problem of m a i n t a i n i n g equipment i n a combat ready c o n d i t i o n i s f u r t h e r compounded by a reduction i n the maintenance t e c h n i c i a n f o r c e made e f f e c t i v e i n August 1963.

Major General Lewis A. C u r t i s , New York A i r N a t i o n a l Guard Commander, has been a l e a d i n g advocate f o r many years of u t i l i z i n g q u a l i f i e d A i r Guard u n i t s to perform o p e r a t i o n a l missions f o r the A i r Force on both a r o u t i n e and s p e c i a l i z e d b a s i s i n the i n t e r e s t s of the Nation's m i l i t a r y economy and e f f i c i e n c y . With t h i s obj e c t i v e i n mind, General C u r t i s has been instrumental i n o b t a i n i n g p r a c t i c a l missions f o r New York's A i r Guardsmen, such as the assignment of l a r g e cargo a i r c r a f t w i t h i n t e r c o n t i n e n t a l t r a n s p o r t c a p a b i l i t i e s .

The r e l a t i v e l y new concept of making the A i r Guard more u s e f u l to i t s parent m i l i t a r y s e r v i c e may be compared to the o r i g i n a l p r a c t i c e of r e s t r i c t i n g A i r N a t i o n a l Guard fo r c e s merely to t r a i n i n g e x e r c i s e s t h a t had no d i r e c t r o l e i n the A i r Force's r e g u l a r operations.

Continuing implemen t a t ion of General C u r t i s ' longstanding advocacy of more productive A i r Guard a c t i v i t i e s on behalf of the A i r Force was demonstrated at year's end when New York A i r N a t i o n a l Guard headquarters was advised by the U n i t e d States A i r Force and The N a t i o n a l Guard Bureau i n Washington of the • scheduled a c t i v a t i o n of a new 106th A i r Transport Wing i n Brooklyn e a r l y i n 1964„

VI LEGAL (NYANG) A high state of morale and discipline was reflected by

the absence of any general or special courts martial cases. There were only two summary court martial cases reported.

A heretofore untested "extra-territorial" use of the State Code of Military Justice occurred. A member of New York Air National Guard was serving in his state status, at a United States Air Force flying training school in Texas when he committed a violation of flying safety regulations. The United States Air Force school had no power to impose punish­ment. The alternative for the United States Air Force was to dismiss the student with a loss of two year's training at high expense to the federal and state governments. The New York Air National Guard Commander then elected to impose punishment under section 130.15 of the State Code of Military Justice. This procedure can be done by correspondence• The guardsman pleaded guilty and was duly punished. The United States Air Force Commander concurred in the belief of the Commander of New York Air National Guard that the Offender had been adequately punished under State law and had su f f i ­ciently been corrected to prevent future safety violation. The rehabilitated offender was permitted to complete his training so that his s k i l l s and experience have been pre­served for use of the military forces of the state and nation.

1 AM III GUARD Civilian in peace, soldier In'war ~ of security and honor, for thr®@

* centuries I have been the custodian. I am the Guard. 1 was with Washington In the wilderness, fought the wlSy warrior, and

watched the dark night bow to the morning. At Concord's bridge, I fired the fateful shot heard 'round the world. 8 bled on

Bunker Hill. My footprints marked the snows at Valley Forge . . . 8 pulled a muffled oar on the barge that bridged the Icy Delaware. I stood with

Washington on the sun-drenched heights of Yorktown. I saw the sword surrendered . . . I am the Guard.

I pulled the trigger that loosed the long rifle's havoc of New Orleans — these things I know — I was there! The hill at San Juan felt the fury of my charge. The far plains and mountains of the Philippines echoed to my shout . . . 9 am

the Guard. The dark forests of the Argonne blazed with my barrage. Chateau Thierry

crumbled to my cannonade. Under the arches of victory I marched in legion — I was there! . . . I am the Guard.

I bowed briefly on grim Corregidor, then saw the light of liberation shine on fit® faces of my comrades. Through the fungi© and on the beaches, 8 fought

the enemy, beat, battered and broke him. S raised our banner to the serene air on Gklnsawo — I was there! . . . I am the Guard,

g Soldier in war, civilian In peace . . . f am the Guard. I was at Johnstown, where the raging waters boomed down the valley.

* I cradled the crying child in my arms and saw the terror leave her eyes, fi moved through smoke and flame at Texas City. The stricken knew

the comfort of my skill. I dropped the food that fed the starving beast on the frozen fields

of the West and through the towering drifts I ploughed to rescue the marooned. I have faced forward to the tornado, the typhoon, and the horror

of the hurricane — these things I know — I was there! . . . 1 am the Guard. I have brought a more abundant, a fuller, a finer life to our youth.

Wherever a strong arm and valiant spirit must defend the nation, in peace or war, wherever a child cries, or a woman weeps In time of disaster, there

I stand . . . I em the Guard. For three centuries a soldier In war, a civilian in peace — of security and honor*

I am the custodian, now and forever . , . S am the Guard.
