 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.  

                                    -END- 


                                                                       No.
                                                                       027-M 
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.  

                                    END
