Bowers, The Adjutant General of North Caro lina, today announced that the new proposed troop list for the reorga nlzatlon of the North Carolina National Guard had been received and was being studied for Implementation. The reorganization would change the 30th Old Hickory Division from an Infantry division to a mechanized divi sion. The proposed troop structure for North Carolina will allow this State 77 Army Guard units- -a reduction of 15 units from the 92 currently on hand. The new structure would provide for 10,872 officers and enlisted men?a reduction of 390 from the present pri ority aggregate strength of 11,292. All units, however, would be main tained at a minimum of 93 per cent strength. The new structure would provide North Carolina with a State Head quarters Detachment to Include a Selective Service Section, a Head quarters augmentation and an Officer Candidate School augmentation. Other non-divlslonal units would In clude one armored battalion, one me chanized Infantry battalion, one engi neer company, one medical detachment (dental service), one military police battalion headquarters detachment and two military police companies, one maintenance battalion, one quarter master portable bath detachment, one special forces company and three com panies. The one single organization In North Carolina that would be affected the most would be the 30th Infantry Division as it reverts from an Infantry to a me chanized division. The division would be reduced from Its current 88 units to a total of 54 and Its strength reduced from 10,986 to 7,882. Retained in the divisional structure would be the division base: one signal battalion, one engineer battalion less two engineer companies, one brigade "Looking at Ourselves". "We will attempt to explain what each depart ment Is doing so that all Involved will be Informed of what Is going on In other areas", said Dean York. "It Is so that we will not be working at cross-purposes", added Dr. Rob bins. "You can say It Is Improved com munications within the college", said York. This, too, Is a new Innovation. Un doubtedly, there will be others as Loulsburg College begins another year of service to this area which It has served so well for the past 180 years. headquarters, one armored cavalry squadron less two cavalry troops (an addition would be one air cavalry troop), one military police company less two military police platoons, one division artillery headquarters bat tery, two 1S5 mm self-propelled field artillery battalions, one Honest John rocket battalion, a headquarters com pany and band of division support command, one administration company less two division brigade administra tive sections, one medical battalion less two medical companies, one sup ply and transportation battalion less two truck platoons, two quartermas ter forward support sections and one maintenance battalion less two for ward support companies. Also, the division would have two armored bat talions and two mechanized Infantry battalions. The greatest loss to the division and to the State will be two brigades which will mean the elimination of two bri gade headquarters and two infantry battalions. Also, the division will lose Its aviation battalion. These divisional losses are offset somewhat In the substantial gain of non-dl visional units which Include three battalions and eight supporting com panies. "No final date has been established as to when the reorganization must be completed; however, I anticipate that if this plan Is carried out, we will be reorganized prior to January 1, 1968," Bowers concluded.
