Ohio National Guard notes reflect unit phasing out and training needs
The 83d Signal Battalion plans to phase out due to a shortage of qualified signal officers. Reserve officers and signal-qualified personnel are urged to contact M.-Sgt. Yeager or Lt. Col. Ross for next drill. Other officers return from staff school and tours, with summer field training at Ft. Lee. The narrative shifts to a veteran’s Vietnam reflections on faith, patrols, and chaplain support.
