SECRET
THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON
AUG 2 2 1950
Dear Mr. President:
On the basis of recommendations from the Joint Chiefs of Staff
on 31 July 1950, the Department of the Army was authorized to aug-
ment their forces, by induction into Federal service on or about
1 September 1950, four divisions and two regimental combat teams of
the National Guard together with supporting units.
In order to provide adequate tactical and troop carrier air
support for the additional infantry divisions and regimental combat
teams, the Joint Chiefs of Staff consider it necessary to induct the
following Air National Guard and Reserve units into active Federal
service: 4 fighter-bomber groups, 2 fighter-bomber squadrons, 1 light
bomb squadron, 1 group headquarters from the Air National Guard, and
2 medium troop carrier wings from the Reserve. This action will
result in increasing the present Air Force strength by 1,662 officers
and 8,606 airmen.
On the basis of these recommendations from the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, I have authorized the Department of the Air Force to call up
the above listed Air National Guard and Reserve Units.
Respectfully yours,
haus Johns
The President
The White House
