The report reflects the stepped up tempo of National Guard operations that has been underway over the past decade in general, and since the Berlin Crisis of 1961-62 in particular. The major operations recorded include: A continuation of the program of participation in large scale field maneuvers with the active Army and active Air Force; the completion of the program to convert the Army Guard's fixed air defense sites to the NIKE HERCULES weapons system; expansion of the weekend training plan to the extent of our resources, continuation of the joint operation--called GUARDLIFT--in which Air Guard transports lift Army and Air Guardsmen from their home stations to field exercises, and to summer training areas, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico; the accomplishments of a major staff operation in formulating a troop list that conforms to the proposed plan to merge the reserve components of the Army.
