Reserve Units To Stay Intact In Wisconsin
Maj. Gen. Ralph Olson said seven Wisconsin reserve units will probably stay intact if Army reserves merge with the Wisconsin National Guard. The units include the 84th Training Division two Reserve schools in Milwaukee and Madison the 13th Evacuation Hospital and 44th General Hospital in Madison the 452nd General Hospital in Milwaukee and the Nike Hercules unit in Waukesha. Governor Knowles has resisted the Army allocation hoping Wisconsin's 32nd National Guard Division gains independent brigade status rather than joining Minnesota's 47th Division.
