The a c t i v i t i e s of the New York A i r N a t i o n a l Guard during the year demonstrated once again the wide v a r i e t y of ways that A i r N a t i o n a l Guard force s could be used to support r e g u l a r A i r Force a c t i v i t i e s and j o i n t or combined m i l i t a r y e x e r c i s e s . The end r e s u l t was economy, he l p i n g to minimize the cost of m i l i t a r y operations and, a t the same time, guaranteeing that New York would have m i s s i o n requirements i n f u t u r e years to j u s t i f y the maintenance and expansion of the A i r N a t i o n a l Guard.

Another major assignment f o r the a i r transport u n i t s i n New York during I96I4 was Operation GUARDLIFT ONE, the movement of troops to and from f i e l d t r a i n i n g s i t e s throughout the country and to Puerto R i c o . I n past y e a r s , such movements were confined to surface t r a n s p o r t a t i o n or to commercial a i r c r a f t .

Too f r e q u e n t l y , the term " f i g h t i n g s t r e n g t h " i s taken to mean only a c t i v e duty Federal f o r c e s * A c t u a l l y the term encompasses a l l of the RESERVE FORCES. The value of the Reserve p o t e n t i a l i s determined by i t s readiness and the e f f e c t i v e speed w i t h which i t can be used i n a N a t i o n a l Emergency or time of need w i t h i n a State*

I n Naval M i l i t i a , readiness w i l l continue to be the theme and modus operandi f o r the t r a i n i n g and o p e r a t i o n a l programs* As a l ways , the Naval M i l i t i a i s Ready to respond whether the need be one of N a t i o n a l or State Emergency* Naval M i l i t i a represents Readiness i n being, not i n theory*
