Roll Up Your Sleeve
The American National Red Cross is making a
special appeal for year-long support during 1970. It is
not just another fund drive. Red Cross officials say they
now get about 90 per cent of their operating budget
through United Funds. The remainder is raised by chap
ters which conduct independent fund raising campaigns
in March.
The Red Cross feels its "Roll Up Your Sleeves"
campaign is in keeping with the President's emphasis on
voluntary action. It hopes the slogan will promote year-
round participation in and support of the many Red Cross
programs which help in time of disaster provide first-
aid water safety and home nursing education supply
about half of the blood needs of our nation's hospitals
and serve the men and women of our armed forces and
veterans.
Roll up
your sleeves.
Last year Red Cross served a monthly average of
121000 servicemen. It transmitted more than 863000
emergency welfare messages to and from overseas in
cluding birth and death notices and other information
vital to servicemen and their families. During the year it
presented more than 147000 recreation events to sick
and wounded servicemen in military hospitals around
the globe. An average of 248000 troops participated
each month last year in recreation programs offered by
young women in Red Cross Center Clubmobile programs
in Vietnam and Korea $51747603 was spent for
these services.
The Red Cross counseled more than 15570 veter
ans or their families each month on personal and family
problems. And it provided nearly $13.5 million in loans
and grants to servicemen and their families to help meet
emergency financial problems.
The American National Red Cross aids all segments
of the community. It serves all America and all Ameri
cans.
Roll up your sleeves with the Red Cross. (AFPS)

NVA Ambush Backfires
As Americans Lay Low
A young sergeant now serving
with the 1st Armd. Div. turned
the tables on a North Vietna
mese ambush and helped his
squad escape from the enemy's
clutches in an action in the I
Corps Tactical Zone Republic
of Vietnam.
Sgt. George Meure of the RVN
Training Co. was serving with
the 101st Abn. Div. near Hue.
As his company moved through
a deserted hamlet east of the
city Meure and four men from
his squad dropped off to set
up an ambush.
'We hadn't been there but
a few minutes when a small
a ix a
appeared on the trail" said
Meure. "He squatted down and
looked around then he waved
toward a distant woodline."
Ten North Vietnamese soldiers
filed out of the forest and moved
into the hamlet. "We were badly
out-numbered so I made up my
mind that we would lie still
for the moment" continued
Meure.
As the North Vietnamese mov
ed through the hamlet one
enemy soldier walked
an us os to
Americans. "We had to fire
before he stepped on us" said
Meure.
As the infantryman opened
fire the North Vietnamese scat
tered to surround the Americans
with a horseshoe-shaped forma
tion. "They had us in a cross
fire" said Meure. "All of a
sudden I noticed that a couple

Information on personnel

the computer files are always

firing over the direction of a
AR (Browning Automatic Rifle)
which was returning their fire.
I told my men to cease fire
and we lay still while the North
Vietnamese Masted away at
each other all around us."
The firing finally died away
as dusk approached. Meure and
comrades crawled down the trail
into the growing darkness to
rejoin their company. "I'll
always wonder if the North Viet
namese ever figured out that
they were shooting at each
ether" mused Meure.

copied correctly—the computer
does not make clerical errors.
The computer also provides
significant service to the in
dividual soldier by periodically
checking his record to determine
when he will be eligible for pro
motion when his next MOS
evaluation is due whether he
is due for a .' hot when he must
review his personnel records
etc. If he is eligible the com
puter prepares a notice to that
effect which is forwarded to
his personnel officer or unit
commander as a reminder.
In addition to giving rapid and
correct information to local
commanders and managers this
subsystem also provides the
same service to higher head
quarters. The Fourth U.S. Army
Processing Activity receives
data update reports from CS3
ten or fifteen times each month.
The Data Processing Activity
has indicated that these reports
area least three times more ac
curate and timely than the
former automated system.
If a soldier is wounded in
battle the medical subsystem
offers two phases: Patient Ac
counting and Reporting and
Medical Regulating. Patient Ac
counting and Reporting gives
computer record system for
storage and use of information
on utilization of medical
facilities. Medical Regulating

Computers Keep 201-Files Straight
medical battle field resources
an re he
evacuation routes and methods
of handling casualties.
Col. Myron T. Johnston com
manding officer of USACSC Sup
port Group has high hopes for
computer development.
"Some day we expect to have
the computer systems operating
well enough to automatically
publish a soldier's orders and
have the information forwarded
to finance. In supply I believe
that soon we will be able to
provide the computer with the
size and weight of the materials
and equipment which are to be
transported. Then the computer
can calculate the number and
size of the vehicles necessary
to transport the goods. The com
puter will then dispatch the re
quired number of trucks to ac
complish the haul."
Johnston went on to mention
other aspects of the computer
system: "Often the personnel
records of soldiers either con
tain faulty information or the
records themselves become lost
ts

aThe
or misplaced. When the 201 files
are placed on the memory bank
of the computer (on the discs
or magnetic tape) there is little
margin for error if the proper
facts and figures are supplied
to it. Once the information is
put into the computer it does
not have to keep changing
ha he
however be kept informed of
the changes in the personnel
and medical history of the in
dividual."
"In supply" says Johnston
UMi
"the computer uses the previous
demand history for parts in
order to adjust the quantity of
equipment as well as its status.
If an item is used frequently
the computer may step up the
rate of requisitioning so that
stockage is always available.
Computers have grown as vast
and complex as the weaponry
of the Army. To adquately meet
the pressing need for relevant
and accurate information the
computer has been improved
and modified considerably. CS3
