- MEMORANDUM FOR CORRESPONDENTS January 21, 1993
-
-
- The Department of the Army announced today its approval for realignment
- of several U. S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCON) units.
-
- The 513th Military Intelligence Brigade will relocate from Fort Mon-
- mouth, N.J., and Vint Hills Farms Station, Va., to Fort Gordon, Ga. The 470th
- Military Intelligence Brigade will relocate from Panama to consolidate with the
- 513th Military Intelligence Brigade. With the addition of personnel from
- several smaller U. S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) units,
- the realigned assets at Fort Gordon will form a Military Intelligence Power
- Projection Brigade.
-
- The relocation is necessary because of realignment of other forces in
- the Army and reguirements for military intelligence mission support. In order
- to adapt to those changing mission reguirements and current budget restraints,
- a smaller, but more capable, force will be developed as the Army follows its
- deliberate plan for restructuring its forces. Relocation of the 513th Military
- Intelligence Brigade is a part of that transition plan.
-
- Those combined actions will result in relocation of 1,461 military
- positions and 45 civilian positions to Fort Gordon by September 30, 1995. In
- addition to the 470th Military Intelligence Brigade from Panama, moving to Fort
- Gordon will be the Fort Monmouth brigade's Headguarters and Headguarters
- Detachment; the 201st Military Intelligence Battalion from Vint Hill Farms
- Station; and the 202nd Military Intelligence Battalion and 297th Military
- Intelligence Battalion, both now at Fort Monmouth. The 513th Military Intelli-
- gence Brigade's Foreign Materiel Intelligence Battalion will remain at Aberdeen
- Proving Ground, Md., and its Military Intelligence Battalion (Low Intensity)
- will remain in Honduras.
-
- By the end of September 1993 at Fort Monmouth, 557 positions will be
- transferred (552 military and five civilian) and 32 positions will be elimi-
- nated (six military and 26 civilian) from a total of 1,948 military and 8,416
- civilian positions. At Vint Hill Farms Station, 381 military positions will be
- transferred and 67 positions will be eliminated (37 military and 30 civilian)
- from a total force of 866 military and 1,003 civilian positions. The personnel
- affected by this relocation are expected to retire or be placed in other
- federal positions.
-
- By the end of September 1995, 435 military positions and 45 civilian
- positions from the 470th Military Intelligence Brigade in Panama, and 93
- military positions and 16 civilian positions from other INSCOM units, will be
- added at Fort Gordon to the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade.

- MEMORANDUM FOR CORRESPONDENTS: January
- 22,1993
-
- The remains of an American serviceman, previously listed as missing in
- Southeast Asia, have been identified as Navy Lieutenant Ralph E. Foulks, Jr.
-
- Lieutenant Foulks' remains were repatriated by the Vietnamese in December
- 1988, as a result of a unilateral recovery by the Vietnamese. Lieutenant
- Foulks was lost in Vietnam on January 5,1968, while piloting an A-4E aircraft,
- in a flight of two, on a night armed reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam.
- Lieutenant Foulks was born on July 21,1943, and his home of record is
- Ridgecrest, Calif.
-
- Lieutenant Foulks remains will depart Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, on
- January 27, 1993, and travel to Travis Air Force Base, Calif., for the final
- journey home.
-
- The U.S. Government welcomes and appreciates the cooperation of the
- Vietnamese Government that resulted in accounting for this American. We hope
- that such cooperation will bring increased results in the near future.
-
- The most important measure by which to judge the success of U.S.-Vietnam-
- ese cooperation on the POWMIA issue is in obtaining final answers for the 2,261
- families of unaccounted for Americans from the Vietnam War.
