Army's New Plan
For Reservists
Is Being Checked
AUSTIN — The Texas Military District has been selected as the district in the five-state Fourth Army area to test the Department of the Army's new mobilization assignee
plan for obligated reservists, Colonel Karl E. Henion, District Chief, announced today.
In all, there are six districts in the United States, one in each continental Army area, which will test the plan during the period Jan. 1 to June 30, 1954.
The Department of the Army has directed that certain returning enlisted men with a Reserve obligation be given mobilization assignments to an active Army, National Guard, or Army Reserve unit.
Assignment to an active Army unit will be for a period of one year after which the obligated reservist may be transferred to a Reserve or National Guard unit for an additional three years. If the reservist is given a mobilization assignment to a National Guard or Reserve unit, the duration of the assignment is four years.
A mobilization assignment to any unit does not require training during peacetime with the unit to which assigned, Col. Henion said but it does require the reservist's nail to active duty with the unit on, or shortly after, mobilization
day. If the unit is not called within four months after mobilization day, mobilization assignees are to be made available for call to active military duty as filler replacements.
The 37th Infantry Division, Camp Polk, La., has been designated as the organization to which active Army mobilization assignments will be made by the Texas Military District. Mobilization assignments are being made on the basis of primary or secondary MOS's (military occupational specialties) to vacancies in the National Guard or Army Reserve units. Assignments to the 37th Infantry Division will be made by primary MOS.
Mobilization assignees to the 37th Infantry Division will be selected from those transferred to the Army Reserve who have at least six years obligated Reserve service remaining as of the date of such transfer, except those who have had prior National Guard or Army Reserve service, those who have undergone hardships and suffering in or as a result of combat in accordance
with criteria established by Army commanders, and those
who are subject to delay because of national health, safety and Interest, and hardship and compassionate
reasons.
These active Army mobilization assignees will be credited with not to exceed one year towards qualifying for transfer to the Standby Reserve. They will remain to assigned
to the active Army unit for one year unless they sooner volunteer and are accepted for enlistment in a National Guard unit or for assignment to an Army Reserve
unit with the objective of full participation and attainment of retirement credits.
