were assigned to, and worked from, the 222d Personnel Service Company. In April 1969, an assistant S-1 was appointed from within the section. The assistant S-1 also serves as the Chief, Manpower Control Branch. In April 1969, Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment of the brigade and the 658th Medical Detachment (Augmentation) (both commanded by the same officer) were placed under the supervision of the S-1. They had previously been responsible directly to the brigade executive officer. By June 1969, it became evident that the duties and responsibilities of the enlisted personnel branch were duplicating and overlapping those of the 222d Personnel Services Company. The enlisted personnel branch was discontinued. Weekly liaison trips to subordinate units continued throughout the year by the S-1 and his staff on a regularly scheduled basis. These visits proved to be most effective, especially during the second half of the year, as eleven units were redeployed and ten others were inactivated in 1969. At the beginning of the year the S-1 was also the acting inspector general for the brigade; however, in April 1969 the S-1 was relieved of this responsibility based on the recommendation of both the USARV Inspector General and the departing S-1. The brigade became involved in the troop withdrawal in July. Personnel and administrative functions involved in the redeployment or inactivation of units of the brigade were the responsibility of this section and were closely monitored by the S-1. Included in the first withdrawal beginning in July and continuing into August were all National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve medical units which had been activated in 1968. These included the 312th Evacuation Hospital, the 74th and 311th Field Hospitals, and eight smaller units, such as medical detachments and a dental KJ team. One of the many administrative requirements involved in the redeployment of these particular units was that of the return of all National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve personnel to the redeploying unit: In 1968, on arrival of those units in-country, a complete infusion program was started, the object being that not more than 15% of any one unit would rotate in any given month. This program was completed in early 1969 With the requirement that all National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve personnel be returned to CONUS with the unit they were mobilized and deployed with, a complete reversal of the infusion pro­gram was required.
