More Training Coming Up
For Units Of Iron Deuce
The division's "eyes and ears"
outfit the 15th Cavalry kicked
off the week's training for 2d
Armored Division on Monday
with range firing of its sub-cal
iber tank guns. Other training on
Monday included 4.2 mortar fire

Army will enable all activities
of post headquarters or Table of
Distribution (TD) sections of this
installation to have their oppor
tunity to experience this addition
to the "certainties" of life.
"Hie survey team will not go
into the TO&E units" said Mr.
G. M. Warren of post manpower
management.
The purpose of a manpower
survey is to determine the mini
mum personnel required in a giv
en activity at a given time to ac
complish an assigned mission. Hie
manpower survey is considered
by high commands to be one of
the most valuable command tools
available to ensure that these lim
ited resources are used efficient
ly-
The last such survey conduct
ed at Fort Hood was during April
and May of 1961. Normally these
surveys are conducted once every
two years.
The survey is designed to
achieve the following four major
objectives:
1. A thorough review of mis
sion organizational structure the
use of and the requirement for
manpower on a systematic re
curring basis.
2. A general review of the pro
cedures used to accomplish mis
sions and the identification of
areas requiring detailed manage
ment studies.
3. The establishment of a firm
manpower requirement base from
which future requirements can be
determined when changes in mis
sion and workload occur.
4. The establishment of the total
manpower requirements of a com
mand so that the available man
power resources may best be dis
tributed.
In evaluating the uses of the
surveys it has been noted in re
cent surveys available manpower
resources seldom provide the
exact number of spaces required.
Manpower requirements as shown
by the surveys can be compared
with available spaces. This com
parison provides the installation's
manpower control officer with the
information he needs to distri
bute the available spaces equit
ably.
A survey will also provide in
formation on which to make ad
justments to the unit structure
of the command.
In a distribution letter to the
TD sections of the post Lt. Gen.
Thomas W. Dunn III Corps and
Fort Hood commander stated
There is a distinct need for man
power surveys as a tool of man
agement because manpower is
the nation's. most ^critical and ex
pensive resource and' the Army
must obtain the maximum use
of this important and limited
commodity ... I desire that ev
ery possible effort be expended
for the January manpower sur
vey so that Fort Hood's essential
personnel requirements will be
clearly understood and recog
nized."

2d AD Top Gun
One-Man Show
At Texas Match
A sharpshooting 2d Armored Di
vision sergeant made almost a
clean sweep of the recent Sun
Carnival pistol matches accord
ing to a report received recently
from carnival headquarters in El
Paso Tex.
Sgt. John C. Lundin a tank
commander from Co. C 67th Ar
mor won 11 out of 20 first
places in the El Paso classic for
a grand aggregrate of 2394 out of
a possible 200 points.
Lundin 30 has been an active
pistol competitor for two years
and owns his own match guns.
Lundin fired in the unclassified
category attached to the Fort
Hood entry. In rapid succession
he won the .22 caliber rapid fire
and Grand National Matches plus
the grand aggregrate he also
won the slow timed and rapid
fire and Grand National
Matches plus the grand aggre
grate he also won the slow tim
ed and rapid fire matches of the
.38 caliber centerfire matches and
the match's national and grand
aggregate championships.
He put the clincher to the
record performance according to
carnival officials by winning the
45 caliber rapid fire and grand
aggregrate matches.
Lundin has the first leg of the
Department of the Army's Dis
tinguished Shooter's Medal. He
needs two more legs or big
match wins to be awarded the
medal which is the symbol of pis
tol superiority.
Lundin has won the 67th Ar
mor pistol championship and will
compete with CCA in the division-
level matches. A confident but
serious competitor Lundin be
lieves that his pistol success
comes from his ability to concen
trate when firing.
"I have nothing on my mind
but hitting that target" he re
vealed. "I think this added to
my sight alignment methods and
trigger squeeze have brought me
a lot of "bulls eyes."
He is a native of Beach N.D.
and lives with his family in Kil
leen.

Three TAC (Tactical Air Com
mand) fighter pilots have been
recently assigned as air liaison
officer and forward air control
lers for 1st Armored Division.
They are Maj. Walter Doerty
division air liaison officer and
two forward air controllers
Capt. 1 J. McNair and Capt.
Chester K. Hillhouse.
With basic equipment consist
ing of a three quarter ton truck
or a tank crammed full with
VHF and FM communications
sets forward air controllers are
able to maintain constant con
tact with both air and ground
forces guiding individual air
craft and ground units. Strikes
are made soon after the FAC
gets a "fix" on the target. Op-
earting at the very edge of the
division battle area the FAC
plays a critical role in combat.
"Out duties simply stated"
said Capt. McNair "are to fill
any gaps in the division's tar
get hitting power."
"If there are enemy positions
beyond the division's capability
for example an enemy strong
hold on the far slope of a hill
out of the artillery's reach—then
our job is to call in fighters
to destroy the position" said
Capt. McNair.
The three new sets of wings
in the division's arsenal are as
signed on a permanent basis
and will be an integral part of
the 1st AD's planning for fu
ture exercises. Under a unique
new plan the Army and Air
Force exchanged officers to pro
vide closer coordination co
operation and mutual understand
ing between the sister services
in air-ground operations. In their
position close to' the Old Iron-
at on
fighter pilots provide hand-in-
glove liaison.
Familiarization and quali
fication with the division's organic
weapons was a vital requirement
Carl D. Williams 501st Admin
istration Co. 1st Armored Divi
sion was promoted recently to
sergeant first class.
If you have then you have an idea of how the
electric milking machine and hundreds of other
electrically-operated devices have revolutionized
farming.
As early at 1930y Texas Power & Light Company
was serving 168 rural communities which had no
previous electric service and had extended its lines
Jo more than 24000 farm and rural customers.
This was out of a total number of customers of
less than .107000.
Today the Company serves 244 unincorporated
rural communities and many thousands of farms
in addition to 212 incorporated cities and towns.
There has never existed nor does there exist now
any controversy between TP&L and the fine rural
people of Texas who organized and are members
of REA electrie cooperatives.
There does exist a disagreement however be
tween TP&L and those in Washington who would
use the electric cooperatives and their needs as a
subterfuge for building Federally-financed power
plants and transmission lines which could ulti
mately lead to the socialization of the electric in
dustry in our nation.
We must resist this movement if we are to be
true to the great American heritage of free enter
prise and true to our belief that government should
not compete with its tax-paying citizens.

stated Capt. McNair "there
