AACS

244 GEEIA Squadron

LtCol Garvin

On 1 January 1959, the 244thAACS E&I Squadron was redesignated as the 244th Ground Electronics Engineering and Installation Agency (GEEIA) Squadron.

The members of the 244th were deployed to eight locations in three states for Annual Field Training. Teams were sent to Hamilton AFB, McClellan AFB, Travis AFB, Mather AFB, George AFB and Beale AFB, California; Rome AFB, New York; and McChord AFB, Washington. This was a 15-day active duty period with the advisory unit, 2867th GEEIA Squadron at Hamilton AFB, California.

Prior to 1959, the Oregon Constitution stated that commanders of Guard units were to be elected by the members of the unit. In the years prior to 1956, the election process became somewhat relaxed. Conseqently, when Major Garvin was assigned to fill the position of Commander of the 244th AACS E&I Squadron on 7 July 1956, everything seemed appropriate. However in September 1959, it was noted that Major Garvin had not been elected to his command position and an election was subsequently held on 20 September 1959, which was the last election held by the Oregon National Guard.
