My wife and I have been extended an invitation by Major General Collin C. Campbell to attend the activation ceremonies for the newly formed National Guard 32nd Infantry Division (Mechanized) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas on 24 25 August. This new Division is being formed from existing National Guard Brigades located in Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Tennessee. The Division Headquarters will be located at Fort Leavenworth. General Campbell has been selected from the Missouri National Guard. in competition with the National Guard Generals from all the States involved to command the new Division. He is a long time old friend of mine. The 22nd Infantry Division will be maintained at a high degree of operational readiness with an early deployment mission for the European Theatre. The Division is programmed to receive a battalion of M1 tanks in late FY'86. The activities begin on the evening of 24 August with a black tie banquet at the Fort Leavenworth Officers Club. A wide variety of guests have been invited, which includes the Secretary of the Army, Chief of Staff, Chief, National Guard Bureau, Commander, TRADOC, and members of Congress from the States represented in the new Division. The activation ceremony will be held on Saturday morning, 25 August along with a formal parade of active Army and National Guard units. We have been invited to be a part of the official reviewing party. I believe this is an excellent opportunity to meet new friends in the National Guard, and to establish a lot of good will for the M1 tank program. Also there are Congressional aspects with some members particularly those from Kansas and Missouri expected to attend. Accordingly, I request travel authorization to attend the activation ceremony, and for my wife to travel at company expense fo: protocol purposes. ш.ш. таше W. W. Maurer 1.
