THE NATIONAL GUARD
“Guardsmen Called Out” blazed the headlines
many times this past year; citizen soldiers called
out to cope with massive surges of violent protest—
of assault, arson and vandalism—on college cam
puses and highways. “Trigger happy”, “poorly
trained”, “immature”, some have called them. But
let’s take a look at the average Guardsman;
He took a dual oath to defend his Nation and
his State.
He is sworn to obey the orders of the Presi
dent and the Governor of his State.
He is about 23 years old, healthy and physi
cally fit.
He is probably married and may be one of
21% who are fathers.
His typical leader is a National Guard officer
who is 30 years old, married, father of 2 and has
completed 13.4 year of civilian schooling.
He is a responsible member of his community
who you see in church on Sunday and at Little
League baseball games.
Between January 1, 1968 and May 1, 1970 ap
proximately 224,000 Guardsmen were called to
duty on 191 occasions to help civil authorities in
the control of civil disturbances. Civil disorders,
serious enough to require the use of Guardsmen,
took an upward surge in May of this year. In the
three week period May 1-21 they were employed
in 43 cities spread across 23 states. Primarily, these
disturbances were initiated by militants on college
campuses who weren’t even students!
Thus it is doubly distressing when college stu
dents are injured. The headlines reflect this dis
tress. But little has been said about the many
Guardsmen who have also been injured in their at
tempts to quell the lawless, violent element of our
society—the real trouble makers.
The Guard must, of course, perform in a res
ponsible manner, using discipline and good judg
ment under very trying circumstances. Let us sa
lute them for their good record of performance in
this regard and for having spent many long, ex
hausting days learning how to better deal with dis
orders and restore domestic tranquillity to our
land.
