brigade by allowing for the rapid relocation of Medical Corps officer resources to meet changing tactical situations. Under the old system it was possible for transfers to be delayed as long as seven days; however, under the new system, relocation could be accomplished within 24 hours. The assignment of personnel in other Medical Department branches were not affected by these changes. On 1 December 1968, using the computer capabilities of the 222d Personnel Services Company, the Officer's Branch established a card file for better control of Medical Corps officers. Two sets of cards were maintained in the file: one set filed to show the resources of each medical unit and the other filed according to MOS. As a result, the brigade headquarters was able to present a complete picture of Medical Corps resources both by unit and MOS. This system greatly enhanced the management of Medical Corps officer resources by enabling the brigade commander to determine immediately the status of any given Medical Corps MOS in the brigade and to determine the specialties available at any given hospital. Files were constantly updated by maintaining a flow of input to the system showing changes in duty, MOS, or assignment. The most significant enlisted personnel developments during 1968 concerned alterations in the enlisted promotion system resulting from changes 21 and 23 to AR 600-200 and the beginning of the E-8 and E-9 centralized promotion system. The arrival in-country of eleven reserve units during 1968 created a significant infusion problem for the brigade. However, the infusion was well on its way to being completed at year's end and the brigade as a whole was well infused. While individual units may have faced local infusion problems, the means for overall infusion were available to the brigade and complete infusion of the units were expected to be accomplished on schedule in 1969. The Morale and Welfare Branch was organized on 15 August 1968 to establish procedures and policies in the areas of non-appropriated funds, safety, grants, and special services. Until organization of a separate branch, non-appropriated fund activities were shared as additional duties by the three officers in the S-1 office. Many problems were encountered in these areas, particularly in non-appropriated funds. In August 1968 the brigade had thirty unauthorized other sundry funds, several of which were in serious financial condition. As a first step to correct this situation, command letters of instruction were disseminated
