Mr. Leonard E. Strom, ARC-886161 Field Director Mr, Geor~e G. ~P!'lterso!lt ARC-71??~1-~~sis~ant Field Cpl. Pau~ R, ~cnoenenoerger, ~~~~~~5, C~erk Director

Mr. George Peterson. •ssistant Field Director, was assigned to this office for duty w~th the First Marine .rrcraft Wing on 5 April 1953. Through the cooperation of officers at MAG~l2 a fiald office was established at that installation with Mr. Peterson as a full time Red Cross representative, B. Coverage

With the establ!sDment of a Red Cross office at MAG-12, all units of the First Marine Aircraft Wing will be serviced directly by a Red Cross representative located within their respective i~unediate areas. Prior to 5 April 195'3, Red Cross service to personnel assigned to MAG-12 was accomplished through the cooperation of t!ie chaplains and by periodic visits of the field director from this office, The newly established office will provide all personnel in MAG-12 the opport~~ity to freely avail themselves or more extensive Red Cross services, It is anticipated that the physical presence of a rermanent Red Cross representative will serve as an important morale factor. The jurisdiction of this office will not be limited solely to marine personnel but will also include service to air !'orca and army units attached or in the vicinity.

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of new cases for the month of ~pril. This increase undoubtedly can ~e attributed to the new office at MAG-12. ~ perusal of the attached monthly statistical report for that office reveals that in the first three weeks of operation, thirtysix new cases were serviced. It is anticipated that this figure will constantly increase as information regarding the field director's presence and functions is promulgated. Many of the cases recorded under "Reporting" have to do with health and welfare reports initiated primarily by serviceman's families throughout the United States. It seems there is a certain percentage of servicemen v.•ho are very lethargic or negligent in writing home to their families causing much worry and anxiety. Consequently, many of the requests received for health and welfare reports are due to non receipt of mail. The spot aru,ouncaments over Meteor re;ninding listeners to write home are more than justified and serve an important function.

I. ORGANIZATION

A. Staff

tiT. George G. Peterson, ARC 71270, &ssistant Field Director, administratively under Mr. Leonard E. Strom, Field Director, Hedron 1, lst t'!AW.

B. Coverage

Prior to the establish~ent of this field office on 6 April 1953, Red Cross services were rendered by the Field Director at Hedron 1, lst NJAW. Proper handling of emergency situations was made possible th~ough the cooperation of Chaplains J. Hayd•a Lampe and Francis P. O'Malley. Less emergent and routine matters were taken care of by the Field Director who made periodic visits for this purpose.

While this arrangement provided seemingly-adequate service, it was felt that (quantitatively and qualitatively) better service could be offered to the military personnel on this station if a field office were opened.

This problem was discussed by Mr. Strom with Major R. H. Rair.forth, S-l Officer, and the late Lt. Colonel B. Robinson, Executive Officer. Both of these officers encouraged ~L- ~~-~~ ~~---~~~·~ --~A---~~~+~A~ ~h~~ ~ ~~~1A A~~~~-~-l.,dJ.C' .('.LC.J..\...1. LJJ .. ..LC~ ... V.L .;I ..I.IOJ'V'Iol"'-l...LL-.;;;;:J,J.U~U...l.'"',L.I.

set up. The acceptance of this recommendation resulted in the opening of this office.

From 6 April 1953 direct physical cover a ::e was being given to the personnel of fr!AG-12 along with the "attached u.nits 11

under the jurisdiction of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

As a new member of the staff, the Field Director contacted the Squadron CO's, CO's of the various "supporting Ur;its", and the Chaplains in an effort to familiarize himself with these officers, their commands, and their particular functions. These visits were gratifying in that a spirit of cooperation prevailed.
