                National Guard tests its troops'
               ability to control a civil uprising

By John Howard

Los Alamitos -- Hundreds of California National Guard troops
converged on the Los Angeles area Wednesday to test their ability
to control a civil insurrection.
     The exercise, involving about 1,500 soldiers and more than
13,000 support personnel, stemmed from the rioting that rocked
Los Angeles last spring after the acquittals of four police
officers in the Rodney King beating trial.
     The four officers now face federal civil rights charges, and
jury selection is under way in Los Angeles.
     During the Los Angeles riots, there was some criticism of
our performance," said Col. Jerry Hansen, an Army officer serving
on the Guard's administrative staff.  "We're doing an assessment
of the Guard's performance.  The bottom line is whether or not
requisite number of troops are deployed, properly equipped."
     The exercise, dubbed "Operation Angel Guard," involved
deploying troops at a half-dozen Los Angeles area armories after
an afternoon "alert" issued to Guard Maj. Gen. Donald J.
Hernandez by Gov. Pete Wilson's office.
     Hernandez, who commanded troops during last year's rioting,
received the call from Sacramento about 1 p.m.

     Governor Pete Wilson promised to solve the economic and
civil rights problems in Los Angeles.  The residents of Los
Angeles will be delighted at his' solution.
     The people of the sate of California should thankful that
there now exists a strike force to 'control' citizens who
disagree with the governor.
