PLAN FIRST PERSHING
FIRING AT McGREGOR
•
by
C, R. POlSALL
An improved version of the Pershing artillery ballistic
missile will be fired for the fir st time by U. Army troop units
during the fall series ofoff-rangefirings,scheduledin September and October.
Also for the first time, the firings will be conducted from
McGregor Range, a Ft. Bliss activity southeast of White Sands
Missile Range. The missiles will be programmed to impact in
the northern part of the White Sands range.
Since the Pershing off-range program began In 1963,
missiles have been fired from Ft. Wingate in the Gallup area;
from three different launch sites in Utah, and from the Hueco
Range south of WSMR.
_
For the fall series, the missiles will be of a new model
designated P-lA-lmproved. They will incorporate a newly designed guidance and control section in the missile and a new
and improved power station in the ground support system.
Five rounds will be fired in the series, starting with one
.round during the week of Sept. 19. The series will be scheduled
to end during the week of Oct. 24.
Firing the first two rounds will be batteries of the 2nd
Battalion, 44th Artillery, 9th Field Artillery (Missile) Group,
of Ft. Sill, Okla. Activated in 1963 as the u. s. Army's first
Pershing unit, the 2nd Battalion provides support services to
all other units firing missiles in the Pershing off-range program.
The second roundwillbefiredby the 2nd Battalion during
the week of Sept. 26. Elements of the Europe-based Seventh u. s.
Army will fire the final three rounds, with one scheduled each
week during the weeks of Oct. 10, 17 and 24.
The firings will serve a multi-purpose. In addition to
serving as annual service practice for the firing units, which are
graded on their performance by an evaluation team, the five
rounds will be incentive firings under the Contractors' Engineering Design Tests as directed by the Pershing Project Manager's Office (PPMO) of the u. s. Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Ala.
Data also will be collected during the firings to independently evaluate the performance of the new guidance and control
section and power station, as well as other components and the

New XO reports
to Desert Navy
by
J02 Tom Merryman
The Naval Ordnance Missile
Test Facility, White Sands Mise sile Range, recently piped
aboard a new executive officer.
He is Commander Henry G.
Rollins.
· CMDR Rollins replaces CMDR Blair Ir eland, who temporarily held the executive officer position until CMDR Rollins arrived.
It i s the duty of the executive
officer, subject to the commanding officer, to coordinate
the training and education of the
personnel of the command, as9:ign personnel to departments,
supervise the oper ational plans
of the command, plus numerous
other responsibilities.
CMDR Rollins comes to the
" Desert NavY" from the Tenth
Naval District, San Juan, Puerto Rico wher e he served as assi stant chief of staff of admini str ation.
When asked how he felt about
being ''land-locked'' the new XO
replied, "This is the first time
I've ever been completely isol at ed fro·rn water and I think
I'll enjoy it very much."
CMDR Rollins entered Naval
service in December of 1941 as
an enlisted man. He r eceived
his r ecruit training in San
Diego, Calif., and r eceived fur ther training as a machinist's
mate in Dearborn, Mich.
As the close of World War II
came about, CMDR Rollins
ente r ed the V-12 program, a
pr ogr am designed to offer selected enlisted men the opportunity to be commissioned in the
US NavY.

This program is a responsibility of TECOM, immediate
higher headquarters of WSMR. It will be conducted by elements
of WSMR's Army Missile Test and Evaluation Directorate
(ARMTE), in cooperation with the other participating agencies.
In ARMTE, the tests will be under the General support
Artillery Project Branch headed by Thomas E. J a rn es o n.
ARMTE project engineer is Paul K. Arthur.
Coordinator at McGregor Range will be w. E. Worthy
of the ARMTE General SUpport Weapon Systems Test Section.
Chief of this section if F. J. Kitchen.
Other WSMR organizations support the p r o gram.
Pershing project engineer for National Range Operations
Directorate (NRO) is Keith E. Floren. Site commander at
McGregor Range is Lee Woodard, also of NRO.
Several non-WSMR organizations also support the firing
program. In addition to PPMO, these include the u. s. Army
Field Artillery Missile Systems Evaluation Group (F AMSEG)
of Ft. Sill and the Martin Marietta Corp, of Orlando, Fla., pri me
contractor for Pershing missiles.
The Missile Command is the developer of Army missile
weapon systems. Teclmical director for PPMO at McGregor
Range will be James F. Conner of Huntsville, Ala., who has held
this position since 1962 and has yet to miss a Pershing firing.
Martin Marietta representatives will be headed by Pau l
Willis. Coordinator for ARMTE participation in the contractor
tests will be John Bayer.
In the spring series this year, Pershing-IA missiles were
fired from Green River, Utah. In 1970, all fir i ngs were from
Black Mesa, near Blanding, Utah.
Pershing-I missiles have been fired from Ft. Wingate,
N. M., and from Gilson Butte, near Hanksville, utah. The first
P-lA missiles, incorporating new ground support equipment,
were fired from Hueco Range in 1968.
The two-stage Pershing has a range of up to 400 miles
and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The system has
been operational since 1963. It is deployed with Seventh U, s.
Army units and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
defense forces in Europe.

Expand drug
WASHINGTON-The Army's drug abusepreventioncampaign
is expanding into new areas, both geographically and chemically,
as world- wide testing of soldiers for amphetamine and barbiturate abuse as well as heroin abuse gets underway.
Out at White Sands Missile Range, the program is already
being implemented. All military personnel at WSMR, who are
ordered to Vietnam or to ETS, undergo urinalysis 30 to 60 days
prior to departure.
McAfee Army Hospital· administers the program which
screens subjects' urine for heroin, cocaine, amphetamines,
barbiturates and quinine. InAugust, 129 soldiers were examined
at the New Mexico post and no positive results occurred.
The thin layer chromatography (TLC) and gas-liquid chromatography (G LC) methods of uranalysis, previously used by the
Army to detect mor phine-based products (heroin) in urine, are
now being used to spot amphetamine and barbiturate abusers.
In addition to tests performed by Army medical technicians,
the Army has made contracts with civilian labs to conduct
urinalyses. These labs are r equired to give atelephonic r eporl
within 24 hours, followed by written confirmation of the tests ir
seven days . Thes e t ests are over 98 per cent reliable,
In the United states, tes ting isbeing phasedin for those being
treated in r ehabilitation programs , those being discharged from
the Army, those on over sea orders, and enlistees and inductees
reporting for duty at r eception stations.
In Vietnam, those departing the country on leave and R&R
(rest and r ecuper ation) will be tested in addition to those leaving
on PCS. Those not taking leave or R&R will be spot checked
for drug use.
.
Scr eening for drug use in Thailand began July 23. In other
over sea areas, scr eening of personnel r eturning to the United
states, for leaves or new assignments, or r equesting extensions '
of their tour will be phased in by September 1.
By November 1, wor ld- wide spot checks and treatment and
rehabilitation of drug users will be underway,but care in oversea areas will initially be austere.
In spite of r umor s to the contrary, the urine test for drug use
has proved r eliable. The laboratory test s, as performed in

Vietnam, will normally identify the drug user for about three
days after his last usage. Ingestion of large quantities of beer
or other liquids will r esult in a diluted sample for a short
period.
Although this could r esult in a specimen with a concentration of drugs too low to be recor ded by the test, the diluted
condition is obvious. Collecting pr ocedures require that the
urine sample have a non- diluted appearance. If it's too watery,
the sample is r ejected and another taken.
There is no substance known to Army toxicologists that will
mask thepresenceof the drug beingtestedfor in the test system
now being used.
Elaborate administrative and mechanical procedures insure
that the individual identified as a drug user is actually the one
who provides the urine sample. These procedures insure that
containers are not switched, r emoved, or altered by the
individual, and that everyone who is processed through the
center provides a speci men for screening purposes,
Liquids other than ur ine cannot be substituted during this
period if the prescribed pr ocedures are followed by the laboratory per sonnel collecting the urine specimens. If such substitution occurr ed it would beapparent immediatelyto the collection
and testing technicians.
The expanded Army program has four main objectives:
* Pr evention
* Identification
* Detoxification
* Rehabilitation
Pr evention involves education. Facts about drug abuse are
being collected and disseminated to service personnel, The drug
user must be i nfor med of the dangers he faces, and innovative
approaches are being used to br eak through his feeling that the
immediate
pleasure of being " high' · is better than his health
or sanity.
Non- users are being taught what drug use involves. Aggressive law enforcement aimed at reducing the supply of illegal
drugs reinfor ces education.

Labor key to luck
What many people call "luck" is actually a reflection of their
own Labor, Understanding, Courage and Knowledge.
One man labors harder than another to excel, then is regarded
as "lucky" when he succeeds. Another, lacking enough knowledge, makes a poor investment, then sees him:;elf as "unlucky" when the re suits become clear.
The greatest book ever written on L-U-C-K, says a top
theologian, is the Holy Bible. There, says Dr. Oswald Hoffmann of radio's famed Lutheran Hour, are to be found excellent guides for self-improvement of the kind that can change
what some people regard as their ''luck."
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that
gathereth by labor shall increase.--Prov. 13-11
In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth
only to penury .--Prov. 14:23
The labor of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the
wicked to sin.--Prov. 10-16
Two are better than one: because they have good reward for
their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but
woe to him who is alone when he falleth; for he hath not a11other
to help him up again.--Eccles. 3:9-10.

Defense (International Security
Affairs). other members will
be representatives of the Joint
Chiefs of staff, the Director of
Defense Research and Engineering, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installations
and Logistics), the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Systems
Analysis), and the Director of
Advanced Research Projects
Agency.
Present roles of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) and the
Commanders of Unified Commands will remain essentially '
unchanged. In accordance with
statutory responsibility, the
Joint Chiefs will continue to
provide directly to the Secretary of Defense military advice
on security assistance matters,
and correlate security assistance planning with u. s. military force planning and security
objectives.
In this role, the Joint Chiefs
will participate in formulation
of Security Assistance Programs and will conduct evaluations of the effectiveness of
such programs in relation to the
security interests of the United
states. The Assistant Secretary
of Defense (International Security Affairs) will formulate
comprehensive OOD security
assistance programs and provide the Director, Defense Security Assistance Agency policy
direction and staff supervision.
The Commander s of Unified
Commands will retain military
command over the Military Assistance Advisory Groups, but
the Military Assistance Advisory Groups will be authorized to deal directly with Defense
Security Assistance
Agency on details of approved
program administration and
implementation.
The Security Assistance Program, e.g., Military Assistance ' and Foreign Military
Sales, serves as a key instrument in carrying out the Nixon
Doctrine based on partnership,
strength and willingness to negotiate. Recent studies have
focused on the need for improving management and r evamping
procedures for security assistance to insure a closer integr ation of U. s. force planning with the Security Assistance Program. The new Defense Agency and the Council
represent initial steps toward
this end.
Lieutenant General George
M, Seignious II, USA, replaced
Lieutenant General Robert H.
Warren, USAF• on August 1,
as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Military Assistance and Sales), General
Seignious also will be the Director of the new Defense

Las Cruces
WASHINGTON -The American
Red Cross is the instrument
chosen by Cong r e s s to help
carry out the obligations
assumed by the United states
under c e rt a in international
treaties known as the Geneva or
Red Cross Conventions.
Specifically, its Congressional charter imposes on the
American Red Cross the duties
to act as the medium of voluntary relief and communications
between the American people
and their Armed Forces and to
carry on a system of national
and international relief to prevent and mitigate suffer in g
caused by disasters.
All of the activities of the
American Red Cross and its
chapters support these duties.
Nationally and locally, the
Am~rican Hed Cross is governed by volunteers, most of its
duties are performed by volunteers, and it is financed by
voluntary contributions.
The above three paragraphs
sum up succindtly the relationship of the American Red Cross
to the Armed Forces. For example, the AHC is the official
approach through the International Committee of the Red
Cross at Geneva, Switzerland,
for the United States government to inquire about the treatment of our men held captive by
North Vietnam.
On behalf of our captives and
"missing men," the thrust of
the ARC's effort has centered
on finding some way to induce
North Vietnam to honor its
ratification of the Geneva Conventions and provide American
prisoners of war humane treatment to which they are entitled,
North Vietnam's intransigence is of long standing, taking
the position the Americans they
hold are "war criminals" and
therefore ineligible for protection under the Geneva Conventions. Hanoi's viewpoint has
been fully denied by the International Committee of the Red
Cross and by speciali st s in
international law.
When countless cables and
letters to National Liberation
Front and North Vietnamese
representatives failed to produce results, the ARC initiated
in October 1969, the massive
"Write Hanoi" campaign, which
is still in progress. Initial r esponse from the Americanpublic was astounding, National Red
Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C., alone received
more than 165,000 letters by
May 1970, This total does not
include letters sent to local
ARC chapters or those mailed
directly to Hanoi or Paris,
At the same time, other patriotic organizations and private citizens joined in, conducting their own "Write Hanoi"
campaigns. Understandably,
there is no way to estimate the
total number of letters the North
Vietnamese have received except to surmise that when this
volume r eached Hanoi, the post
office was crowded,
Campaign r esults are always
difficult to measure, but the fact
stands out that coincident with
this drive, ther e has been an
easing on prisone r mail and
food parcel restrictions. The
volume of mail that American
families r eceived from known
POWs jumped from 620 l etters
in January 1969 to 2, 700 in
November 1970. At the same
time, the 11umber of POWs identified by North Vietnam tripled.
Hanoi al so has allowed, since
February 1970, the ship ment of
a food p ar c e 1 to identified
prisoner s every second month.
Yet the ARC is hardly satisfied with such meag-er r esults
and slow progr ess. As of May 6,
1971, the Department of Defense listed 1, 170 missing and
460 captu red. Moreover, identification of prisoner s and notification of those killed or who
have died in captivity is merely
a first step in applying the.Gene-
va Conventions, Humane treatment under the watchful eye of
the International Committee of
the Red Cross or some other
impartial organization or agent
is included in the full application of this treaty.
The Government of South
Vietnam allows ICRC officials
to inspect its camps where it
holds 38,000 prisoners and to
interview these men, The Hanoi
regime has refused to allow inspection of its camps by any impartial party.
The American Red Cross also
has a day-to-day relationship
with the A r m e d F o r c e s.
Basically, its charter calls for
supporting and supplementing without duplication - those activities that affect the health,
welfare, recreation, and morale
of military personnel and their
families,
A general catalogue of ARC
services to the Armed Forces
includes such activities as:
* Providing blood and blood
products to many military,
Veterans Administration, and
civilian hospitals, anct, upon
request, replacing blood used
by the overseas serviceman's
family members who are hospitalized in the United states.
* Counseling on personal
and family problems,
* Transmitting information
between members of the Armed
Forces and their families when
normal communications channels do not suffice, especially
in emergency situations.
* Providing information
needed by the military commanders to assist in his decisions affecting morale and
welfare of military personnel
or getting the facts to verify
granting oi emergency leave.
* Fur nishing information to
military personnel and their dependents about all Government
benefits available - Federal,
state, and local.
* Referring military personnel and their families to social
agencies which offer specialized assistance such as legal
affairs, medical or psychiatric
care, employment, and child
welfare services.
* Providing money -loans or
outright grants - to military
personnel on emergency leave
that r equires their presence at
home.
* Making loans to military
dependents when allotment
checks are lost or late.
* Offering patients in military hospitals a wide range of
services including medically
approved r ecreation programs,
help to close relatives visiting
patients at military hospitalsg
and assistance to patients unable to help themselves - from
letter w r it in g to running
errands and mustering medical
volunteers, when so requested.
Wllile these services cover
a broad spectrum, there are
many things the Red Cross cannot do. The Red Cr oss cannot
commit funds for repaying
debts, starting a business, paying a fine, posting bail, paying
legal counsel, or supplementing military pay to meet a desired standard of living,
These restrictions do not imply that the Red Cross r egards
these problems of no conseQllence.
Rather, the ARC can counsel
military families and refer
them to other social or ganizations better equipped to do the
particular job, such as military
legal assistance offices, var Chevron
ill
ious aid societies of the Armed
Forces, and Federal, State, and
local welfare agencies,
The fact that the ARC does not
usually attack social problems
over the long haul, although the
organization is becoming more
and more involved in our nation's pressing social needs,
may well be responsible for
much of the criticism that
comes its way, But the Red
Cross has never believed for
an instant that it is an organization of absolute virtue and
perfect service to humanity.
Indeed, the ARC as a slice
of American society, often
quarrels with itself about goals
and best means to achieve them.
Around the turn of the century,
the method of expending funds
with little audit accountability
was debated in the national
press and on the floor of Congress, The antagonists were two
of its famous leaders, Clara
Barton and Mabel Boardman.
both legends in their own time.
More recently, shortly after
World War II, the Red Cross
found its popularity had dropped
virtually out of sight. A Gallup
poll revealed in 1944 that 60
per cent of all Americans
named it their most popular
charitable organization. When
the Gallup organization asked
the same question in 1947, only
21 per cent selected the ARC.
No doubt about it, returning
Gis from World War II had
turned thumbs down and had
convinced some of the homefolks to do the same.
Chief gripe seemed to center around the monetary
charges the ARC levied in some
overseas areas for meals and
billets. Returning servicemen
felt the American people had
donated the monies and they
should have such services free
of charge.
The ARC was completely
sympathetic with this attitude,
The only tr o u bl e was they
couldn't do anything about it.
The Secretary of War had
ordered the American Red
Cross to make nominal charges.
The reationale was to equalize
the vast discrepancy between
the better paid American serviceman and his lower paid wartime allies,
Today, the Red Cross still
weighs its activities in terms
of individuals served, never
as a numbers game; however,
facts and figures compiled by
the ARC in its last annual report have a way of speaking
for themsleves, The ARC spent
$56, 754,145 for services to
members of the Armed Forces,
veterans, and their families last
year. At military installations
and medical facilities, casework services were provided
to 121,500 men each month. In
local chapters, 2, 708,500 services were given to families of
servicemen, Loans and grants
totaling $! 3,363,500 emergency
messages were flashed to and
from overseas posts.
As this run of statistics implies, the Red Cross job is big
and it requires an army of
workers. Some 2,31 0,000 unpaid volunteers - many of them
military personnel and their
dependents - make up the bulk
of the force, A cadre of 14,059 career staff members fill
it out, giving day-to-day continuity,
Also readily apparent is the
global nature of the ARC. Every
major military installation at
home or overseas has its field
director and staff. The historic
link between the ARC and the
Armed Force is further amplified by the fact that three
famous military leaders have
headed up the organization at
one time or another - Generals
George C, Marshall, Alfred M,
Cruenther, and Janes F. Collins
Actually the Hed Cross ideal
in all nations was forged by
war. Consider these historical
l:tnclmarks:
* Before there was any Red
Cross society in any nation,
America's Clara Barton, the
"angel of the battlefield,' was
doing the essential Red Cross
job for the Union forces during
the Civil War and even for the
Confederate forces to a lesser
extent.
* About the same time, Swiss
businessman Henri Dunant, in
reaction to the carnage of the
battle of Solferino in northern
Italy, became the godfather of
the Red Cross ideal, which was
rendered into treaty and flag
at Geneva in the late summer of
1864,
* Red Cross relief and battlefield efforts worked so well
during the Franco-Prussian
War of 1870 that it was said
not a man could lie uncared for
or unfed on the field of battle.
* Clara Barton, back from
service with the Red Cross
during the Franco-Prussian
conflict, founded the American
Red Cross in 1881 and was
chiefly instrumental in persuading the U.S. government
to sign the Geneva Cor.ventions
in 1882,

When "sitters" or unlicensed•

physician must state that the
care provided is medically adequate.
DENVER. - The range of
nursing services available under CHAMPUS - the Civilian
Health and Medical Program of
the Uniformed Services - has
been clarified and expanded.
When a physician certifies
their services as medically
necessary and adequate for the
proper care and treatment of a
hospitalized patient, payment to
"sitters" as well as registered
nurses and licensed and unlicensed practical nurses may
be program benefits,
These same individuals may
also render physician-ordered
care in the home, provided the
care is not predominantly cus~dial or domiciliary in nature.

demic is shown in the massive and urgent campaign against
drug abuse. Statistics and data about the extent of drug use in
society and in the Army are difficult to pin down because drug
users, like alcoholics, are good at concealing their problem,
Unlike alcoholism, which cuts across all age groups, drug users
tend to be in the 18 to 25 year range, although ''friendly pushers" have recently begun peddling their wares in junior high
schools and grade schools.
The man who is hooked likes to get his buddies involved to
reinforce his own conviction that using drugs is cool. By wordof-mouth, the addict and his "turned-on" friends then selectively spread the news about their pleasures when high. By enlarging the circle of friends on dope, they establish and reinforce their "in" feeling and ability to convince themselves that
they are right -- it's the world that's wrong, In addition, when
change gets short, they have made themselves a ready market
for a IitUe pushing on the side.
Breaking through this self-revealed drug wisdom is tough.
Science recognizes that some addicts are so psychologically
strung-out that they will never kick the habit, or even want to.
They just go on until they die.
But the compassionate person will continue to try to help,
bringing the less addicted drug user back to the real world.
Former addicts have emphasized the pleasure of the "clean
feeling" they get once they shake the habit both physically and
mentally. At the same time, they emphasize the need for a
"natural high" then, something that will involve them -- music,
nature, helping others -- some activity that they can get
wrapped up in, The Army program is attempting to meet all of
these needs,
"Scare tactics" are u1U1ecessary in combating drug abuse.
The facts alone are enough to cause the non-user to think twice
before the first hit. The expanded Army program is trying to
stop the non-user from starting on drugs, but it will also give
the drug user a better chance to help himself.
Identification encourages drug users to volunteer for treatment. The drug user often has a desire to go home "clean,"
without taking a habit back to his girl friend, wife, or family.
In addition, addicts have learned the hard way that the first
high from a shot of heroin doesn't last very long once you're
hooked, and that it talces larger and larger doses just to maintain a "normal" feeling, and even more to get high again.
The Army offers a non-punitive immunity program, To the
soldier who has the guts to face his problem, and wants to kick
his habit, the immunity policy, oftenreferredtoas "amnesty,"
means that no soldier will be subjected to disciplinary measures
under the Uniform Code of Military Justice or discharge under
other than honorable conditions solely on the basis of volunteering for treatment or identification as a drug dependent individual
through urine testing.
This policy does not exempt the soldier from discipline or
other legal consequences as a result of violation of other laws
and regulations if such disciplinary action is supported by evidence not attributed to urinalysis or volunteering for treatment.
Detoxification involves placing identified drug users under
medical control for the purpose of professional observation,
treatment, and further testing. The observation and testing will
determine the degree of drug reliance,
Those who are not drug dependent will be given professional
guidance and counseling by specialists and returned to duty or,
if due for separation, they will be discharged,
Rehabilitation of drug users is the next step, though it actually
begins during detoxification, Soldiers remaining on active duty
go into an outpatient program of community based therapy,
activity and involvement. Halfway Houses are being established
to help drug users make the switch from the hospital to full duty.
The concept of the Halfway House is for the soldier to spend his
duty hours at his unit, and stay in the Halfway House after duty
hours. The Halfway House system uses occupational therapy,
-individual counseling, group recreation, and other activities
closely supervised by professional counselors,
During the rehabilitation process the individual will be
checked about twice a week for drug use, using urinalysis. No
soldier will be considered to be a rehabilitation success until he
has had a series of" clean" urine tests, as well as demonstrated
his psychological fitness for full return to duty.
If, after at least 60daysofrehabilitationeffort, the drug user
is unable to pass the test, he will be considered a rehabilitation
failure, and administratively separated from the Army, Before
separation, he will be referred to the Veterans Administration
or other civilian treatment facilities for follow-on care, Dischargees are referred to specific treatment facilities and given
help in making appointments.
In addition to Halfway Houses, the Army is establishing other
rehabilitation centers. These centers will be for both the prevention of drug abuse and the rehabilitation of drug users. These
centers will provide various services, such as individual
counseling (psychotherapy), group counseling (group psychotherapy), drug information, rap sessions, recreational activities, and referral. They will operate around the clock, with a
hot line telephone for advice and assistance to those who call in
with a drug problem at any hour.
