Personnel of the two local units are assignedto components of the Engineer Battalion.The local National Guard band will continue to be a part of 34th Division headquarters. It is the only unit in the division not affected by the reorganization order.Fairfield officers stressed that the reorganization will not bring a change in local National Guard strength. It does mean new unit designations and new duties for Service and Medical company personnel.Same CommandUnder the new order, the 34th Division will become a pentomic division organized for atomic warfare. The division will continue under the command of Maj. Gen. Warren Wood, Gering, Neb. Brig. Gen. Frank Williams, Cedar Falls, is the deputy commander.The division was formerly composed of the 133rd, 134th and 168th Infantry Regiments located in Iowa and Nebraska Under thenew set-up it will be organizes! into five battle groups, three in Iowa and two in Nebraska, together with supporting units.The three Iowa battle groups will headquarter at Cedar Falls, Sioux City and Council Bluffs.R (ompanyUnits of the 224th Engineer Battalion assigned to Fairfield are Company B and two platoons of Company C. Company B, formerly located in Burlington, will be composed of Service Company personnel and enough Medical Company members to bring it to strength Medical Company personnel will also be assigned to the Earth Moving and Transportation Platoons of Company C.Other units of the Engineer Bat-| talion will be assigned as follows; Hq and Hq. and Service Co. in Cedar Rapids; Maintenance Platoon in Muscatine; Company A in Muscatine; Company A Transportation and Earth Moving Platoons in Davenport; ami Company C in Ottumwa.The Engineer Battalion is a supporting unit and not part of the 34th Division proper.
