C. Dozier, State Ad jutant General announced today. Under a policy approved by the Department of the Army, Nation al Guardsmen, including men sub ject to early induction, may volun teer for 24 month’s active military service, with the approval of the State Adjutant General, and re tain their National Guard rank and seniority, when they enter Previously, it was necessary to discharge Guardsmen subject to the draft from the National Guard before induction. They were pro cessed in the same manner as selectees, starting as recruits and undergoing basic training. To be eligible under the new policy, Guardsmen subject to Se lective Service call must have ob tained their current status prior to receipt of their induction notice, and have a minimum of 24 month’s service remaining in their current National Guard en listment at the time they report for active duty. To meet these re quirements, those with less than 24 months may have their Nation al Guard enlistment extended, or be discharged for the purpose of immediately re-enlisting in the Guard for a period of three years. General Dozier said that the new policy should act as an in centive to non subject to future induction to enlist in the Nation al Guard. Volunteers under Jhis plan will enter on active service with all the advantages and rank earned by duty in the National Guard, including the experience gained by specialized training and atten dance at military service schools. National Guardsmen are eligible to attend all regular military ser vice schools and training courses in military specialities of their choice. Since emphasis in Guard training is placed on the develop ment of specialists, many Guards men are fully qualified as military specialists and able to assume im mediately positions of responsibil ity in the Army. All Guardsmen are subject to mobilization for active duty with their units. However, no call to active military service of addition al Guard units is contemplated for the immediate or near future. From the beginning of the Ko rean emergency in June, 1950, more than 1,680 Army-type Nation al Guard units and some 130,000 officers and men were ordered to active duty. Most of them have completed the required service and, excepting those who chose to remain in the service, have re turned to their home States. Notice!
