Some up 225,000 members of the National Guard and Reserves were called to active duty, and about half were sent to the war zone. Some examples of the reservists' importance to the active-duty force: The Army has 100 percent of its water supply battalions, heavy helicopter units and judge advocate general units in the Army National Guard and Army Reserve. Most of its medical brigades, civil affairs units and oil supply battalions also are in the Reserves.

The Naval Reserve has five new classes of assigned to it. These include coastal ships mine-hunting, tank-landing and minecountermeasure vessels. Also, the aircraft carrier USS John F.

Bill Zimmerman of Niles, who operated a wholesale firewood business at that site, blamed the fire on youths from a neighboring apartment complex. Niles Township Fire Chief John LaMore said he couldn't rule out vandalism, but added that all indications were that the fire spread from brush being burned earlier by Zimmerman employees. LaMore said that had the fire gotten into the woods, it could have spread to Niles-Buchanan Road and possibly to the St.
